Episode 2

Most of the Mana abilities of those mentioned belonged to one of the order, as the aristocratic title was determined by the contemporary home of the military exploits. -With the exception of three.This special case was the three knights of Duke’s home. They are known as 【Paladin】, 【Dragoon】, 【Diabolos】as they were treated as special beings, whether they were identities or abilities, as compared to other nobles outside the three superior orders.

To say why they had special treatment was because these ranks were very strong and scarce.

After all, dozens of families belonging to the eight lower-level subordinates were different to the higher order of only three families. Dragon Knight rank was inherited of the Sigsar house. A symbol of the Knights of the La Mall house. Then the last one which inherited the blood of the Paladin–Merida, born of the Duke of Angels.

Mana was carried in the blood, and through the blood of successful descendants. So aristocratic children were still born aristocrats. And their potential capacity was considered and the purity of the noble blood of deep links.

This logical relationship was also the reason why the upper class was able to rise to the top. Their bloodline had inviolable superiority over lower level nobility, let alone the civilians, as their children would no doubt have a higher concentration of Mana – … well, this should be the case.

But what if all these knowledge opposes all of the previous mission, meaning…

“So lady Merida… is not the real daughter of Angel’s house…?”

“That’s right, and now it’s been suspected.”

The boss whispered while nodding his head. He also reached the end of the ladder to the second floor.

Clearly, nobody was living here, seeing that all of the gas lamps were closed. The youth was still following the direction of the boss with a cane. By the way, we also received a bunch of reports from the boss.

“In other words, baby-swapping?”

“No, it’s not very realistic at the time of birth to be able to pull that off unnoticed.”

“Then, that means……”

Contrary to the young man, it was difficult to say there was extortion involved, but the boss who was over thirty years old didn’t hesitate to speak about it.

“Very simple. Merida isn’t the real child of Fergus Angel, the head of the house of Angel. There is a possibility that she may be an illegitimate child of her mother, Merinoa Angel, and the target.”

“…”

Seeing the abnormal information on all of the reports, they still went down quietly in the line of sight.

The boss chatted in the usual tone to continue the gossip, while igniting the new tobacco.

“The person responsible for this work was the head of the Mordrew Ludwig Merchants’ Guild, who was a member of the council, Mordrew. As Marinoa Angel father, he was also, to lady Merida, was her grandfather. To him, cutting blood ties with the Paladins was totally unacceptable. The fact that his daughter’s marriage to the Knight’s Duke makes it even more unacceptable, for which he should be proud of. Due to this, the truth must not be uncovered, and all the social ties established by Mrs.Marinoa were forced to be destroyed.

“In other words, the master of this mansion, is also one of the affair “suspects”??”

As the young man looked up, the roof of the mansion still exuded a quiet, natural feeling despite how old it looks. He opened the door in the corridor, which led to a dark room, inside sits billiards table.

– This is not an empty shell to me. The young man frowned in a weird manner and closed the door without making any sound.

When the boss reached for his pocket, he brought out a stack of reports.

“——Gemstone merchant, Giovanni Aylesi. In the past, at the time of Mordrew’s visit to his father, the eleven-year-old Miss Marinoa had a great deal of spare time. To pass time with her, Giovanni the young guy often performed his favorite piano tune, while Miss Marinoa gave him a portrait of her as a gift to express her gratitude. The two seemed to get along well.. or so it seemed. ”

“Only that? It’s a story when she was eleven?”

Kufa couldn’t help but be surprised; even the boss scowled as he continued reading the report.

“The most important thing is that the investigation stalled – her friends in boarding schools, classmates, the young men and women in trade unions, and even their relatives! In short, although there was exchanges with the Marinoa’s family, of all the people that were casually questioned, didn’t reveal any useful information!”
