Chapter 335: Tracking The Former King (2/2)
”Thanks,” Lawrend replied.
They then entered inside the city whilst the city guard arranged a squad to follow him to the dark road.
”They didn't stop us?” Humility asked, confused.
”It's either he didn't lock down the city to lure us, or he's not in the city,” Lawrend replied.
”Let's go to the mansion first, Master,” Humility replied.
”Hm? Why?”
”He would be waiting for us at my mansion. If not, then he's at the Royal Castle,” Humility explained.
”That's a good idea.” Lawrend nodded his head.
…
Ramiela had been tagging along with them for a while now. She couldn't help but feel like she was just air. Nevertheless, she never said anything.
They arrived in the mansion, and Ramiela watched them ask the guards, but the old man they were looking for wasn't there.
To make sure, they entered inside and checked every room.
”Let's go to the castle,” Lawrend said.
”Lawrend, he's not there,” Ramiela suddenly said.
She didn't know why she said it herself. It was something she said out of boredom and to seek attention.
”Huh? How did you know?” Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
”I don't feel his aura. I'm an angel, and I'm sensitive to the aura of other beings,” Ramiela explained.
”... Let's still go to double-check,” Lawrend replied.
He wasn't fully trusting her, especially in a time like this. She could be scheming to lead them astray so they would mess up.
”Master, I'll go in alone. Please wait for me outside. If I still didn't return after half an hour, that would mean that he's not in the castle,” Humility said.
”Sure, but take Aezel with you,” Lawrend replied.
”Eh? Who's going to protect you then?” Humility asked in confusion.
”I disapprove of this, Master. I'm your protector,” Aezel said.
”Let me come with you then. I'll follow behind like Humility's suitor,” Lawrend replied.
”What about us, Master?” Aleshia asked worriedly.
”I don't think he will pay attention to you girls. After all, he will think that you're all just my maids,” Lawrend replied.
”Just Master's maid…”
Aezel widened her eyes and started panting with a tinge of excitement in her eyes. She was getting excited by the fact that she was someone lowly to him.
”*Cough* Let's go. The rest of you can stay here,” Lawrend said.
He noticed Aezel's expression and decided not to pay attention to it. He already knows what kind of a woman she is.
”Yes, Master,” Aleshia responded, and the others waved their hands at him.
As for Ramiela, she furrowed her eyebrows. She didn't like the feeling that Lawrend didn't trust her words.
