The night after the assassination attempt on Evelyn.
Ashbourne Manor was put in a state of high security.
The number of soldiers increased.
Ancient formations were activated around all of the significant areas.
No one was taking risks with the danger.
It was not merely a murder but an assassination.
This was a denial of hostility towards House Ashbourne.
Inside Andrew’s courtyard.
Andrew was standing quietly by the window.
He was calm in his face.
But there was coldness in his eyes.
His first clone was standing behind him.
But this clone was different from Andrew.
One of the members of the Mystic Pavilion.
Not a regular member.
One of the original founders of the Mystic Pavilion had selected him to be a successor personally years ago.
The inheritance was composed of ancient knowledge, intelligence techniques, and control of a portion of the hidden network of the Mystic Pavilion.
But no one was aware of Andrew’s link with him.
To the world…
He was simply a mysterious genius of the Mystic Pavilion.
The clone deposited a number of documents on the table.
“Brother.”
Investigation is under way.
What is your finding?
The first document was opened by the clone.
The assassins used the technique of Shadow Sect.
Andrew frowned.
Twenty years ago the Shadow Sect vanished.
“Correct.”
The clone nodded.
But somehow someone has brought them back to life.
Another document appeared.
Their actions are directed towards the Ravencrest Duke family.
Andrew’s face grew a bit more serious.
The Ravencrest Duke family is on display.
The strongest supporter of First Madam Isabella.
A dark family of family of darkness, intelligence gathering, and assassins.
The family of the “First Madam”…
Andrew said quietly.
The clone nodded.
But we do need more evidence,” he said.
No one should be accused of a Duke crime without proof.
Andrew understood.
The noble world was complicated.
The next day.
The time had come.
Leon and Sophia would go to the Forbidden Battlefield.
The entrance of Ashbourne Manor was filled with family members.
Leon was dressed in his battle armor.
His sword was by his side.
Sophia took her healer staff.
Evelyn eyed them disinterestedly.
Both of you have to go out?
Sophia smiled.
“Come back stronger, we will.”
Leon put his hand on Evelyn’s head.
Train seriously with Teacher Ignis!
Evelyn nodded.
Andrew stood nearby.
“Be careful.”
Leon looked at him.
“You too.”
The two brothers and sisters got into the carriage.
As the carriage disappeared into the distance…
Andrew looked out over to the horizon.
The battle field was calling.
