As the white-robed young man entered, the servants in the Saint's residence stopped their work one after another, as if they had suddenly been unplugged. In an instant, they became completely lifeless.
The white-robed young man stopped in the hall and glanced at the huge recliner on the terrace. With a casual wave, the woman's corpse slowly floated onto it.
Looking at Angel Grabbe before him, the white-robed young man asked bluntly, "Report."
Angel Grabbe lowered her head and said, "Today, the Saint prepared the ledgers of the City of Freedom and handed them to me for review. Afterward, the Saint temporarily left the residence, claiming that she had to receive the administrators of the Seven Cities."
"You never left?" The white-robed young man slightly furrowed his brow.
Angel Grabbe nodded. "I was still in the study when Saint's Fall appeared... I considered whether I should intervene, and then you arrived, my lord."
"Did the Saint show any unusual behavior regarding those two?" The white-robed young man thought for a moment. "Or meet with anyone?"
"Aside from sending an invitation to the Saint Maiden Ritual, I know of nothing unusual." Angel Grabbe shook her head. "As for invitations to attend the ceremony, there have been many in the past... so I didn't pay much attention to this one."
The white-robed young man said indifferently, "You replaced me in investigating the affairs of the City of Freedom, yet the Saint sent an invitation to the administrators of the Seven Cities to attend the Saint Maiden ceremony at this time. Are you sure there is no problem?"
"I thought... the two matters didn't conflict." Angel Grabbe hesitated. "Do you believe they are connected?"
The white-robed young man fell silent. His gaze shifted slightly, turning toward the space behind Angel Grabbe.
"Angel Langdu!"
