BXBX NOVEL Chapter 152: The Fallen
When Rheina said those words, both Eden and Claire were quite confused as they couldn\'t understand the meaning behind their master\'s words.
Although Claire, as someone who worked as an undercover maid in disguise for various noble households before, she could easily tell what their master was trying to convey.
"So, what the master is trying to say is that… there might be a possibility for this rumored marriage union to come true if it used wisely. Is that right?"
Rheina hummed in agreement with Claire\'s reasoning and said; "We still don\'t know how this rumored marriage union would be put on use but right now, the Central Region of Stellarus Empire is now in turmoil because of these recent incidents."
"And besides, who would want to talk about marriage union in the middle of the crisis all of the sudden? It feels like someone is trying to accuse them of being frivolous because of this rumor and I have no doubt that those rotten nobles from the other factions who started this rumor."
Rheina nodded when Claire added her reasoning about this incident.
However, for now, she set aside those thoughts and change the topic as she needs to know more about the happenings inside the Central Region of this Empire, aside from the sudden terrorist attack and abducting the Marquis.
"What about the investigation regarding the death of the Crown Prince?"
Also, this issue with the Crown Prince\'s sudden death that Rheina couldn\'t help but had a nagging feeling that there is something truly odd about this whole incident.
When she asked them for the report about the Crown Prince, Rheina noticed that both Eden and Claire were side eyeing each other and because of those subtle actions coming from these two, Rheina frowns and asks them; "Is there something wrong? Both of you seems like on edge for some reason."
Both Eden and Claire snapped from their thoughts and then immediately looked away at each other and tried not to look up to meet their master\'s gaze because the moment they had done that, they could be easily read by her.
However, it wouldn\'t do any good for them to just keep silence about this information that they had gathered, although they wasn\'t sure about it, and they could only conclude some information from their investigations so far, but it wasn\'t the final result.
"A-ahmmm…. Master? W-we are not sure about this particular report that we had because we haven\'t finalized everything that we got but…"
The first one who spoke anxiously is none other than Claire as she muster up her courage to speak but didn\'t dare to looked up to her master because she didn\'t know how to convey it properly this time.
Rheina, on the other hand, noticed how Claire\'s voice seemed to be shaken for a moment, but Rheina didn\'t dare to pressure her and just let her compose herself and continue what she was about to say.
"A-about the reports for the Crown Prince… I guess… it will be better for master to look at this particular item that we managed to find out within the Crown Prince\'s Palace when we infiltrate that place secretly."
Eden continued what Claire was about to say and after that, she took something from her pocket and an item was revealed in front of them and as Eden presented the mysterious item that they had found within the Crown Prince\'s Palace to their master, Rheina\'s expression suddenly turned darkened.
At that moment, a sudden rush of killing intent was released from the four corners of the room where they are and both Eden and Claire barely managed to catch their breath because of their master\'s wrath.
"M-master! L-leader! C-calm down!"
After that, Rheina managed to calm herself down and the killing intent coming from her suddenly vanished that makes both women sighed in relief and after that, they became someone anxious for a moment and wouldn\'t dare to meet her eyes directly, lest they wanted to be the receiving end of her wrath.
"How. In. The. World. That. Thing. Come. Here.?"
Her voice is devoid of any emotions right now and for them to hear it once again, it means that their master is angry and serious right now.
Claire brace herself to remain calm as she explained; "W-we only found this item when we were trying to investigate the Crown Prince\'s Palace secretly, but we don\'t have much time to investigate this item further when we were almost got caught off by the Royal Knights who were stationed in that Palace, and we can only get this item from there."
After she explain, both of them didn\'t hear their master\'s voice and that makes them anxious even more because even though they haven\'t much information about the purpose of this [item] that they found in the Crown Prince\'s Palace but both women recognized this vile [item] since it\'s connected to [that place].
"Leave that item from here. Let me examine it first."
After a long silence from their master, she finally spoke up and both women obeyed their master\'s command as Eden rise up since she had the [item] within her hands and then went over to their master\'s table and place the [item] there and then went back to her master\'s side.
"Master, the [item] is already placed at your table. Is there anything else that you need for us to do?"
Rheina looked at Eden and said; "Both of you, investigate the Crown Prince\'s Palace furthermore and looked everything within your abilities and find everything that could have the possibility related to that [item] you have brought here. I don\'t want to jump into conclusions yet but just to be safe, I need to analyze this properly."
Eden and Claire; "Yes, master!"
After that, both women disappeared from Rheina\'s sight and now silence had reign inside her office and afterwards, she took a deep breath and then gaze at her table were Eden laid out the [item] she got from that place.
The reason why she reacted so much as soon as she recognized the [item] brought by Eden and Claire, Rheina couldn\'t help but to have some conclusions that starts to take place on her thoughts.
"How come [The Fallen] appeared within that place? Especially, to the Crown Prince\'s Palace? Does that mean… the deceased Crown Prince is colliding with those fiends?!"
