Chapter 166: A Question
"......Hmm."
I picked up the letter left behind by my father, but just before opening it, I subconsciously paused.
‘Could it be a trap?’
The one who had held this letter wasn’t just anyone—it was none other than the Duke of Embergreen, the man who bet his own life just to spite me on his way out.
So even if this letter was genuinely from my father, there was no guarantee it didn’t contain some kind of poison or spell.
‘...Still, there are no signs of it being tampered with.’
Even after examining it closely for a long time, I couldn’t find any indication that it had been opened.
Well, that’s what the sealing magic and insignia are for, after all.
That said, I still couldn’t fully rule out the possibility of the letter itself being cursed...
‘...Oh, right. I’m a white mage.’
Honestly, I’d been entangled with the dark factions so often lately that I’d almost forgotten—even I’m not some Demon Lord or black mage. I’m a good, righteous white mage.
If there were some sort of subtly hidden jinx or curse embedded in the letter, I’d still be able to sense if it were harmful, at least vaguely.
