Book 4: Chapter 4
“Welcome home, your majesty.” Castell raised his cup of wine, smiled and added, “To her majesty.”
“To her majesty.”
The two of us drank the wine in our cups and a maid walked over to refill our cups. Castell picked up his fork and knife, looked at the steak and thing that looked like mashed potatoes before him and said: “Your majesty, I was the first to be invited to dinner by you upon your return which is basically the equivalent of setting an omen into motion. However, you need not be so concerned about me, your majesty. By the time you ascend the throne, I will no longer be of much use.”
“No, I think otherwise.”
I looked at Castell and pushed a small box placed on the table over to him. Castell paused before taking the box. He looked at it and said: “Is this not a commonly seen wooden box? Your majesty, I thought you had something to give me. It looks like I read too much into it.”
“No, look at the letters on the back of the box.”
I placed my fork and knife down and said: “Help me investigate this trading company. Find out for me who’s in charge of it and where he is at, as well as anybody else connected to the company.”
This is Mera’s box. The humans burnt everything when they fled. The imperial guards couldn’t find anything worthy investigating. The group of people had no backgrounds or identities like phantoms. However, they didn’t destroy Mera’s things. This is the thing I found which I thought would be most worth following up on.
I don’t really want to disturb mom. Mom actually already knows and killed a big group of people. I don’t know if these people are connected. She just killed a group of mercenaries who’d been buying guns recently. I don’t think they’re connected.
