Chapter 335 - 335: Update from scholars part 2 (1/2)

[At the Demon kingdom castle]
[Aries point of view]
Yesterday, after a brief talk with the scholars from the Demon kingdom, we were told to take a rest after the long journey, as they need time to examine the corpse of my doppelganger. I thought Druser will then talk to me about the two traitorous princes, but instead, he told me to rest and he will tell me later on. For now, I'll comply, even when he himself know that the two traitorous princes, which is his elder brothers, are plotting something. I can't imagine he will comply with them, but...
(Motra prove me wrong, he/she is one of the last person we would suspect to do something sinister, and yet...) [Aries]
I don't want to suspect a fellow old friend. It's painful to do that, and it's unsettling and put a heavy toll on my mind, but I wonder. No. I don't think so. Unless my successor also complying something behind our back, then the chances are miniscule, I hope so
(I'm just tired and overthinking about it, that's all) [Aries]
~Knock~
”Please, come on in” [Aries]
A knocking on the door force my negative train of thought to stop, as I greet the new paladin as well as Htilorez coming to visit me
”I just come to accompany her and have a little chat, but you seem tired. Should we leave?” [New paladin]
”No. It's fine. Just overthinking something” [Aries]
For now, let just stop thinking about it, and I should listen on Htilorez final thought on one of the devil commander corpses
”I do think that the devil you brought yesterday is your doppelganger, but at the same time, something feel amiss about it” [Htilorez]
””And that is??”” [Aries, New Paladin]
”It's like, it's a completely different entities from the usual devil or doppelganger that I come to know thus far” [Htilorez]
Now that's interesting. I wonder what will she tell us. I should probably call Druser and the other right now

After leaving Estel for quite some time, we finally got back home, only to be leaving soon once again. It can't be help, time is of the essence and every second we spent doing something unproductive, the devil will move to bring about the destruction of the world
We come back home late last night. While Grandpa Claude and Sis Rafiah greeted us with smile and hug when we enter the orphanage, the other siblings are still asleep during that time, and now, first thing first after breakfast
”I'm off!” [Charlotte]
”Ehh!”
”Come and play with us a little Sister Charlotte!”
”Do you want to leave us so badly?”
”No it isn't that, I promise” [Charlotte]
I have a very good reason not to play with them, and that is because of the sea serpent project. The model of Achalasia that Qudus, Erinmorlin and other scholars help to make, it finally finished! That means, right now is the best time to actually test out whether the Sea Serpent Project is doable or not
”Don't disturb her, and get ready! It's time for you to go to the school!” [Rafiah]
”BUT!”
