And there’s even an altar. Even without hearing what they offer, it could be easily anticipated.

Those who chatter about purifying those who massacre people on the continent.

After the temple is completed, the fate of those involved is vividly imagined, even without hearing it.

Feeling like all four deaths are rushing at once, a choking sensation overwhelmed Olivia’s throat.

Before Olivia’s face turned completely pale, Isaac broke the silence.

“Oh, but at least one thing you ordered was done properly.”

Isaac’s fox-like eyes narrowed even more.

“When we met the magician, you told us not to look back and run away. So, I brought Taren’s young lady with me.”

He took one hand, lightly clenched into a fist, to his chest and extended the other hand towards Ambh, exaggerating the gesture. Ambh opened her eyes wide, then burst into laughter.

“Yes, that’s right. I wondered what kind of person tells you to run away suddenly, but since it was under the command of the princess, I immediately ran out.”

“Just trusting and following him like that?”

“He was a person commanded by the princess. Moreover, he wasn’t someone skilled enough to tell lies to the point that I couldn’t distinguish.”

It was an answer worthy of the successor to the giant in the underworld of the Taren family.

To that, Isaac tilted his head as if surprised.

“Do you know that and yet earlier you tried to lie to me?”

“Well, there might be a ‘what if’ case, you know?”

“You don’t seem to be hiding that very well. Quite shameless.”

“Oh my, that’s the first time I’ve heard that.”

Isaac shook his head at the innocent Ambh’s laughter, and Olivia, looking at the surprisingly well-matched duo, felt the heavy feeling that had been stuck to the floor alleviating.

“Good job. If you happen to encounter the magician again next time, don’t look back and run away.”

“Is that magician a carrot-haired woman, by any chance?”

“Well… Yeah. That’s right.”

Olivia’s expression subtly changed at the combination of the ancient god-worshipping magician seeking the destruction of the world and a carrot. However, Ambh simply nodded vigorously.

Thinking of that woman, Ambh continued, muttering as if something came to mind or perhaps to say something, but ultimately failed to recall the fact that the Crown Prince was too strange.

Instead, she casually opened her mouth.

“Oh, by the way, and one servant from the family has disappeared.”

Bringing up the private affairs of the Taren family out of the blue, Ambh added a beat late.

“Not that they quit or were fired normally, but they went missing.”

For a third party, it might seem like a big deal that just one servant disappeared, but among them, it was a significant matter.
To be precise, it could be considered a precursor before a major incident occurs.

After the incident where Ambh was kidnapped and almost died last time, Olivia made it clear.

“If anything strange happens around you, no matter how small or trivial, be sure to tell me.”

Ambh, who faithfully followed that order, blinked her eyes as if expecting praise, and Olivia patted the back of her hand.

“A servant, it’s related to a servant on this side too.”

“An incident?”

Olivia talked about the night when the ribbon-colored servant, who almost got assassinated, and the assassin who couldn’t find anything suspicious even after dying. She mentioned today’s events, chasing the servant with a different ribbon color, but with no significant results. As Olivia finished speaking, Isaac raised his hand halfway and said,

“I will look into that servant.”

“Right now?”

It had only been a few hours since they returned from the Norden Kingdom, and Olivia lifted her head to Isaac, who seemed to want to work immediately again.

“After going all the way to the Norden Kingdom, you didn’t find out anything useful, did you? If this useless guy is marked as someone useless, it’ll be troublesome in many ways.”

Isaac made a sarcastic self-evaluation and briefly lingered over the quiet and darkened Cryer, then swallowed a short sigh. If he had said anything, even a word, he might not have felt this much pressure, but he remained silent.

He didn’t seem to care at all, knowing that he was being watched, and unlike the princess, he didn’t seem to be bothered by his rough handling of people…
