Book 7.5: Chapter 4
The young man didn’t enact some sort of detective story, because he was only allowed to investigate the incident. He wasn’t told to have a day off of work. Hence, the young man still had to fulfil his daily duties. The duties of a personal attendant aren’t simple. He was what connected Her Majesty to the entire Royal Palace. Without him working, everyone beneath them wouldn’t know what she wanted, and she wouldn’t be able to get what she wanted. Being a qualified attendant meant he had to be good at delivering information and things.
As such, if the young man wanted to find clues on the incident, he had to make time outside of his schedule to figure it out.
At present, the only thing he has been able to figure out was that it was an inside job, as it was impossible for someone to enter the inner court to steal. It was absolutely impossible. It’s impossible for someone from outside to come in and steal given the loyalty of the Valkyries and how vigilant Her Majesty is.
Furthermore, the thief didn’t steal anything valuable. All the thief stole was some clothes. And if it was only gloves and head cloths that were stolen.
‘Would a creep be satisfied with just that? In other words, was the thief not trying to satisfy their own creepy desires?’
Only court ladies were inside the Empress’s inner court. They wouldn’t steal their own stuff. And forget the Valkyries stealing, that’s impossible. They would be better off killing themselves because their end would be worse than death if they were discovered. Subsequently, the most suspicious person was himself.
But he definitely did not steal. He knew that best.
‘So who was it? The clothes couldn’t have grown themselves a pair of legs and ran off now, could they? The Empress didn’t suffer any injuries or losses this time. It doesn’t seem as though she wants to bother herself with it, because surely she understands that as opposed to saying they were stolen, it would be more correct to say they were lost. Nobody had any reason to steal those things, so…’
‘Nobody stole them?’
