“Hmm, but the roots are very damaged. Roots are important for this
”
“So you’re not going to buy it? I’ll sell it here or to a nearby medicine store.”
“No, it’s not that I won’t buy it
”
The door opened while Lisa and the merchant bargained. He was the one Lisa often saw while working here.
“Mr. Harbert, where have you been?”
She had been noticing before that he was doing something with Rian. Lisa’s eyes were thinning and seemed a little fierce, but when Tom hit her, they returned to normal.
“Ah, just for a moment.”
Harbert looked a little distracted. He shook his hand in annoyance and tried to pass by them.
“Hey, we’ve got a little bit of Rosaveria. I’ve been looking for it here and there
 What should we do? The condition is a little
”
“Ah! Do I have to order all of that? How many years have you been working here?
The merchant was speechless by Herbert’s nervous response.
“The nobleman who was in the capital has already come, and he is full of troubles
”
Harbert muttered in an annoying tone and went toward the second floor.
“The noble guy?”
Lisa felt somewhat uncomfortable with the words she heard at first, so her eyes followed Harbert.

The soldier guarding the Tertius gates received a paper note.
“I was told to deliver this to His Grace.”
“Who? Do you think His Grace is so free?”
The soldier reported it to his superior knight. The knight was very annoyed because he had to pay attention to these trivial things while he was busy due to the emergency order.
“It was sent by a precious person, so I asked him to show it immediately, and he disappeared.”
“Precious person?”
The knight opened up the crumpled paper.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” – Dana Deniz.
P.S., we are now going near the Deniz Merchants.」
Two short sentences were written. The handwriting above and below was slightly different, but the name “Dana Deniz” drew attention.
“Dana Deniz
 I’ve heard this name somewhere. Where was it?”
“What’s wrong with you?”
A face popped out from behind the knight’s shoulder.
“Oh, Your Grace!”
The knight was surprised and crumpled up the paper with one hand and gave him courtesy. Owen saw the crumpled paper.
“What’s that?”
“Oh, someone said to deliver it to His Grace.”
“Give it to me.”
The knight handed Owen the paper without hesitation. Although he was asked to deliver it to the “Grand Duke”, he did not think that he should immediately listen to the request of a person of whom he didn’t even know his identity.
In addition, the person before him was another owner of the castle and the best adult, Duke Owen Tertius.
“Oh, my
”
Owen sighed briefly as soon as he saw it. Then he left quickly without any explanation. The remaining knight and soldier stared at each other puzzled.
Owen tried to find Daniel for now. However, on the way to the office, he found a horse that Leon rode often. He stopped the soldier from dragging the horse.
“Leon, is he at the castle?”
“What? Yes, that’s right. He arrived a long time ago.”
The banquet was only just beginning, and Leon should not have returned earlier than 10 days later, as scheduled.
Come to think of it, the troops in the castle seemed sparse for some reason, and the remaining knights and soldiers looked somewhat busy. In an unusual atmosphere, Owen asked the soldier again.
“Why are you so confused? What order did you receive?”
“Well, that’s because I take care of Martha
”
“Say it correctly”.
“
The lady in this castle is missing. So I understand that a search order has been issued.”
“I can’t believe it
”
Owen was stunned by the words and headed back to the office. And as expected, Leon was there.
When Owen came in, Leon seemed to have a stern expression, but he spoke as if giving up. Owen’s urgent face had already noticed his business.
“We’re searching thoroughly now. No matter what happens
”
“Look at this.”
Leon accepted the paper sticking out without explanation. As soon as he received it, his red eyes shook finely.
“Why didn’t she come right away and send me this letter? Explain.”
“Sigh
 Really.”
Owen pressed and asked, but Leon put his hand on the wall and sighed for a long time as if he couldn’t hear him well.
He wasn’t sure if Dana really sent this, but he was quite relieved that he had a little hope anyway.
“Leon.”
Owen urged him with a slightly relaxed tone as he saw his son’s new appearance. Leon pulled himself together and made eye contact with Owen.
It wasn’t important now, but Owen cared for Dana, and there were many twists and turns, but Leon continued with her.
He thought he should tell Owen the truth.
“There’s something I haven’t told you, father.”
“Okay, tell me.”
Owen waited calmly, not agitated by the words. Everyone had secrets. Owen was also in no position to be angry because he had secrets of his own.
Owen leaned on the sofa because he thought the story would be prolonged. Leon didn’t sit down while looking at him.
“Dana Deniz had an accident before.”
“I heard it. She was shocked and had a little memory loss. What kind of accident was it?”
“She almost got killed by someone.”
Owen listened to Leon’s next explanation while keeping his mouth shut at the eerie word.
“Someone is now entrusted with all the authority above Dana.”
“You said she had an agent last time. Is it him?”
“That’s right, the person who came that day was in communication with the agent, but he confessed the truth a while ago and went back.”
Owen was silent for a moment. He came up with a hypothesis close to facts by combining the information he knew in his head.
