"The Forbidden Scroll"

There was no wooden tag attached to the scroll, but its string had a locking spell. Using his own mana, Lucius tried to open it, just like what he did with the forbidden scrolls in the Omegalion library.

Unfortunately, it did not work.

"Lucius, you seem to be so used to opening forbidden scrolls," Darius commented, narrowing his eyes on him. "Are you hiding something from me? What have you been looking into?"

Lucius paused for a long while and had second thoughts if he should tell it to his father, but in the end, he chose to say it. After all, his father loves his wife very much.

"Father, I told you that mother left because you almost announced Ivory's existence to the public, right?"

"Yes. What about it?" the General replied. 

The two of them stood up from crouching and sat on the armchairs nearby, facing each other.

"Actually, Sir Rheolous said that… Mother went to meet the late King's Servant named Wolfram."
