The Kalon Chancellor, who thought this would be a fruitless trip, felt a slight delight after hearing the report from his subordinate.
However, he quickly realized some unreasonable details.
"Did you indeed see Lamias inside the manor?"
The subordinate nodded, with a serious expression, "It was indeed her, and it shouldn't be an illusion, but..."
"But what?" The Kalon Chancellor instinctively frowned. His subordinate's hesitation seemed to reflect the unreasonable details he sensed.
The subordinate thought for a moment and said, "Lamias was sitting on the terrace reading a book, looking quite leisurely, with no signs of tension... it feels like she's deliberately letting us know she's there. And... and why would she purposefully bury the 'Fear Inverted Cross' armor here—this place isn't far from the manor... hence, it's feared to be a trap."
"Talk as we go." The Kalon Chancellor quickly made a decision.
