Chapter 182.1
After I finished some of my work in office, I submitted my report to Prime Minister Falkenstein, together with a written proposal. After that, I consulted about something with Grand Duke Seyfart, who was going to be present at the meeting with Prime Minister Falkenstein.
Currently, I was in a meeting with Prime Minister Falkenstein and Grand Duke Seyfart.
I had a little problem with locating famous adventurers and mercenaries and the list of towns where they were based, which I requested via Feli, so I would like to discuss this part with them as soon as possible.
So, a number of mercenaries and adventurers have headed for the Coltrezis House territory. This is a common occurrence now that the demon army is active.
The problem is that one of them may have been accompanied by someone from the church. I was wondering if it is possible that the missing oracle may have been accompanying them.
Hmm So are you saying that Coltrezis House is involved in this matter as well?
We do not have enough information to confirm that yet.
Of course, there was a possibility that Coltrezis House was secretly keeping him locked up. As a result of an accident involving the disappearance of an oracle, a post of high priest became available within the church, and it would not be surprising if they were aiming to send someone from their own faction to this position.
On the other hand, there was also a possibility that they were attacked by demons and at that time, the demons could replace the oracle, and that replacement would then be the one agitating Coltrezis House.
Overall, we lacked information, so we could only make guesses for now. As long as the church was silent about the disappearance, it was inevitable for the information to be incomplete.
After some digging, I have found some new information on Sir Puckler. He visited the Temple on several occasions. This makes the whole situation more muddy.
It would not be strange for Sir Puckler as a Human to visit the temple, but it could also be possible that he had become Demon General Gezarius by that time. I still have to be doubtful.
That is certainly concerning. I understand. I will look into it in the government as well.
Thank you very much. Also, something happened the other day
Then I proceeded to report about Claras case and explained the steps I was going to take. I made sure the arrangements and permission were approved. That would at least lessen the burden on me.
Work is always given to people who can do it. And I was hoping for the Viscount to gather and distribute the work to the right people.
I will do my best.
I was told such a thing by the Prime Minister. I was supposed to still be of student age. I should not be expected to have such skills.
I left and returned to the residence, being wary of my surroundings just in case. I first had a short meeting with Norbert. I heard that the guard, Gauter, came to interview Clara today, but he didnt get much out of her. Well, I expected that.
Norbert informed me, It seems that the person in charge of refugee management didnt report anything.
Okay.
In other words, that corpse was someone who did not belong to Triots refugee management. He might have been a vagrant from somewhere in the capital.
On that note, did Gauter-dono mention anything?
He said that Claras identity confirmation process may be delayed, so well have to wait and see for a few days.
Well, I did expect the report to come up late, but was that even allowed? They seemed to be cautious. It was not the wrong decision.
Clara is resting in the back house as usual, sir.
Shell be a guest for a couple of days.
Yes, sir.
The phrasing made it seem gentle, but this in fact was a house arrest. It would give us time to get ready for the next few days.
It would also make Clara uneasy thinking that I would receive a report from Refugee Management saying that there was no such girl among refugees, which would also give us confirmation that Clara was lying. And in the few days that Clara would have, there was no way she would not do something, or at least find a way around it even if by chance.
After that, I had a meeting with Max, who showed up to update me on the status of the arrangements. He was strangely motivated for some reason and said something like this, Its been a while since Ive had a chance to work on something like this.
Id prefer if we didnt have to do this though.
I responded with a sigh and shrugged my shoulders. If only the Guards could be trusted in handling this, things would be better. This time, Id gone to the trouble of inviting Clara into Zeavert Mansion, and Id even asked for permission in advance to mobilize the House Knights in case an incident happened.
