The Spirits' Savior

Silas stood in front of the hallway leading back to the hidden door where he met Pheobe.

It had been a quarter of an hour since Lady Rin dropped him off.

He did not leave immediately and told her he wanted to make preparations first. When she asked if he needed anything, he kindly refused.

Lady Rin might have felt he wanted to be alone because she did not insist and bid him farewell with a faint smile.

Her intuition was correct.

Because the secret of the Spirits Silas learned from her did leave him in shock.

Lady Rin already warned him that the secret she would tell him might answer some of his doubts about what happened to his family. It never occurred to him that the conspiracy that led to his family's downfall was just the tip of a bigger one that involved the Hero Families mentioned in history.
