71 No stones left unturned (1/2)

The Lancaster and Greene family sat together in the back enjoying some tea, while Sebastian drove the car in the direction Robert previous pointed.

Robert sighed at the difference between their two family's lifestyle. Even on a road trip, they could still enjoy drinking tea.

However he had to admit the herbal tea, Amelia had offered was magical. Whatever tension and worry everyone had felt before, it was relaxed by the tea's effect.

”I'm sorry about my earlier actions. Robert and I were pretty good friends back in the days. I hope you didn't take it to heart and you can just call me Uncle Ignis.” The duke apologised.

”I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it... U-Uncle Ignis.” Lina replied humbly. She felt incredulous at the Duke's friendly attitude. It seems to her that they weren't just good friends, but very good friends. The queen was too ruthless to not take their relationship into account and punish her family as such.

”That's good.” Duke Ignis turn to Robert before asking, ”So, how far to Leon's home?”

”Cough* Err... hmm...” Robert choked on his tea before looking awkwardly at his daughter for answers. Lina was equally clueless.

No one knew where Leon's home actually was. The Greene family only knew the direction and that it shouldn't have been too far from their house. Considering the time they've spent in the car, they probably have already passed it.

Robert was embarrassed for being captivated by the tea and forgetting what they had set out to do.

One mustn't forget that the Greenes had lived a very stringent lifestyle and have not tasted good food and drink for a long time.

It was easy for them to be engrossed by the tea.

”I don't know either...” Lina lowered her head.

”This is... no... never mind then.” Duke Ignis gathered his attention towards the outside. ”Stop the car.”

The car came to a complete stop, forcing the following cars behind to stop as well.

”What's the matter, Ignis?” Robert asked.

”There's traces of a battle around here.”

Duke Ignis exited the car as he sweep the area with his gaze in the rain.

”How can you even tell? There's nothing here.” Robert was clueless.

”No, there is something. The smell of blood.” Amelia said confidently. As 9th step awakeners, the Duke and Amelia possess better senses than most.

The increment of strength isn't limited to the improvement of their physical strength, but also their body as a whole. Their five senses would naturally have been enhanced with each breakthrough in strength.

Robert and Aisha was unable to smell the blood in the heavy rain. It was more impossible for Lina and Rachel, who were weaker than them.

”There's a body over there.”

”Over here too.”

Dead bodies after bodies were were found along the way.

”Don't look at them, Rachel.” Amelia tried to stop her daughter.

”Let her. She has to start facing these things or she will never overcome it. It's good we brought plenty of herbal tea.” Ignis said otherwise.

”Can anyone identify the bodies?” Robert asked. Everyone shook their heads at his question.

”Probably servants of the Greys... Did Leon do all this?” Amelia assumed.

”That boy... shouldn't be that capable, right? Their wounds were too clean. They all died from a shot to their head.” Robert doubted her assumption. He experienced firsthand how exceptional Leon's medical skills were. Where on earth would he find the time to learn other skills? These skills weren't something that could be mastered simply by memorising the knowledge from a book. It requires intensive training and practices to master.

Only monstrous geniuses could break normality and toss away all logic and reasons. But geniuses are rare as metal on the current open market, let alone a monstrous genius.

”I think we don't have to worry about the boy. Only assassins can execute such clean kills and the queen's shadow guards is the only group of assassins we have on our side.” Ignis commented.

”That's not possible. Elizabeth shouldn't have known about Leon yet.” Amelia strongly denied. Why would the queen host her own private search after putting her in charge? It would hurt their sisterhood if Elizabeth didn't trust her. Amelia knew that although she had successfully given Elizabeth some hope, she was still 90% believing that her son long gone. Thus, it was impossible for Elizabeth to know until she inform her.
