The Devil's Cage

When Kieran finally got dressed properly, Sister Liz and Sister Grittel in addition to the unnamed father walked in swiftly .

Their faces were smeared with an indescribable nervousness .

Only when they saw Kieran was safe and sound did the nervousness go away .

"What happened just now?" Sister Liz was still worried despite Kieran being alright .

"It"s the Twenty Hounds . I"ve killed one of them before and coincidentally I got away safe, so she came with the invitation . Of course, I didn"t say yes to it . " Kieran didn"t conceal the truth .

In fact, it would be unrealistic for him to hide these matters from them .

With Dandon"s influence in Edland City, it would be easy for them to investigate . Rather than hiding the truth only to be exposed later, might as well be honest with them .

Kieran who knew the importance of trust was not willing to ruin the opportune situation that came with extended effort with a slight mistake .

Sister Liz and the others were relieved spontaneously after Kieran uttered the last word .

"2567, your decision is the right one . The people from the Elder Council are a bunch of lunatics . Being with them will only lead you to a destructive future," said the younger Sister Grittel .

The unnamed father nodded in agreement as well .

Only Sister Liz realized something and after some deep thought, the elder sister said to the other two, "Grittel, Rayman, can you both leave us for a while, I have something that I wanted to ask 2567 . "

"Of course!"

Both of them went out without rejection when the respectful Sister Liz requested them to .

When both of them had left, Sister Liz looked at Kieran again .

"2567, you say you didn"t agree but… you didn"t reject either, right?" The elder sister asked .

"Yes . "

Kieran chose to be honest with Sister Liz as well .

He looked at her merciful and clear eyes and slowly said, "Because, until now I don"t know what kind of person am I . I don"t have my own memories and although you acknowledged me as a knight, I might be someone else despite my performance being similar to one . "

"So, I think I should go out there and find the answer with initiative and not be dragged around by other matters and factions . "

Kieran bowed down to express his apologies before Sister Liz as he spoke .

It wasn"t just to brush her off but a sincere bow because he was apologizing for his previous and future lies and usage to the elder sister .

Likewise, he also mildly rejected in joining the Dandon Church .

"Is that so?" Sister Liz looked at Kieran and couldn"t hold back her long sigh .

The merciful and kind nature made the elder sister hold Kieran up and didn"t utter her invitation anymore .

"Everyone has their own decisions, others can"t force them into something they are unwilling to do, especially when he is filled with light in his heart . If troubles descend on Dandon, may I request your aid then?" The elder sister said .

"Of course, I"d never mind lending a helping hand to the weak and suppressed!" Kieran said with determination .

The clear reply added a sense of smile on the sister"s face .

"Sister Dandon, can I have a look at Harondentte"s belongings?" You know, he did appear at the scene of the explosion at the Winchester House and I lost my memory there . So If you allow me to invite Captain Teresa over, I would be grateful for that . "

"That won"t be a problem, the entire Dandon Church will a.s.sist you the best we can . " The smiling sister didn"t reject Kieran"s request .

Soon, Harondentte"s belongings were moved to another clean room with Teresa inside waiting . Plus, there was a set of outfits for youngsters prepared as well .

It wasn"t anything branded but the simple kind, similar to the set that Kieran and Hoskin bought in the shop .

Kieran didn"t complain at all . He understood from the books, the Dandon Church was a church that upheld the ideal of hardworking and plain living . The outfits of the three high clergies were proof that the ideal wasn"t just mere words .

Kieran himself wasn"t too concerned about any of those .

"So, it is really you who created a mess in the street! And these are all your loot? I thought you would be living a retired life in Augen Manor," Teresa said directly when she saw Kieran come in .

It had been a month since Kieran last met Teresa and her dazzling red hair .

Kieran didn"t dislike her att.i.tude, at least it was better than the ones who smiled at him on the surface but stabbed him in the back .

He knew exactly how to handle the likes of Teresa .

"If I was in Augen Manor all the time, it would be quite impossible for all the loot you see here . Anne Aldrich Augen isn"t a merciful or charitable person, if you want to get something, you have to pay the cost . "

"These are Harondentte"s belongings and the incident that happened is also related to him . " Kieran then briefly explained the fight that happened .

Then, Kieran continued with a ridiculing tone, "I hope that you weren"t just blaming me for the entire month instead of carefully doing some research on information of the stolen collections from the museum . "

"What? No way! I can be considered an archaeologist now after all that research!"

Teresa then headed towards the big pile of books after her words .

Though she didn"t go through the books right away, she went into deep thought for a while before turning back to Kieran .

"Harondentte was the final benefactor of the Winchester explosion case right?" She asked .

"A benefactor ended up without an intact body? I rather not," Kieran pretended to sigh and picked up the books before Teresa could further her questions .

Teresa shrugged when she saw Kieran reply and joined him in reading .

When Kieran felt Teresa"s attention had moved away from him, he was relieved in his heart .

Leading Teresa to a wrong answer was not an easy feat, not only because their relations.h.i.+p would guilt trip Kieran but Teresa wasn"t an idiot either .

On the contrary, Teresa had a bright mind .

If Kieran didn"t truly understand the current dungeon world"s mystical realm, he would never choose the risky way to mislead Teresa but with her acknowledgment, a lot more people would follow as well and with more acknowledgment of his ident.i.ty, part of his plan would be considered complete .

The next step in his plan, however, would need him to rely on another person but that was for another time .

Now, he needed to find the answers that he sought in the books and scrolls before him .

Soon, the whole room was left with two book shuffling noises and a while later, one of them paused insignificantly .
