Noevian's study was surprisingly similar to that of Count Acacia. A bleak and desolate atmosphere. The only difference was that it was a bit larger and a few gloomy paintings or tapestries were hung for decoration.
Although I had lived in this mansion for two years, I had never been in this study since he first showed it to me. The mansion was very large, and with my initial lack of stamina, I was too busy commuting between my study and bedroom to learn about the duties of the Grand Duchess. Besides, since he didn't stay at the mansion very often, there was no need for me to come to this study. As I briefly reminisced about the past, I closed the study door and approached the desk piled with all kinds of documents. It was a complete mess, which was completely out of character for him, who was usually very neat. I was afraid that I might leave any trace of my presence if I touched something carelessly, so I only looked around with my eyes. Important documents would not have been left lying around in this space, which the butler cleaned every morning. Most of the desk drawers were locked. I lowered my posture and began to open each drawer one by one, searching for the matching keys. In addition to documents written in all sorts of foreign languages, there were only trivial titles and documents related to the management of his estates that he had acquired through his achievements. It took a long time to organize the documents I took out and put them back in and lock the drawers again. I got up from time to time to look outside. Roardnes' knights were still guarding the front gate. With so many people standing in front of the mansion, even if Noevian tried to enter through the back door, he would have no choice but to go that way. Trying to calm my pounding heart, I opened the safe under the desk. Instead of gold bars as I had expected, like in Count Acacia's case, the safe was filled with bundles of documents. All the document envelopes were the same shape, material, and color. When I took out the topmost document, it said 'West.' The next one too. And the next one too. And the next one too, all said 'West,' which seemed very suspicious. The only image I had of the West was Castagna's territory, the battlefield where Roardnes had been for several years. It was very strange to have so many document envelopes to fill a small safe like this, as there was nothing else I knew about the West. All the envelopes were sealed with wax, but the envelope that seemed to have been put in most recently was not waxed. I quickly opened the envelope and took out the document.
