Chapter 26

Spy or slave ?

Aaron did all the contracts was to see whether there is really a spy in the slaves or not . He didn't believe that the royal family has not planted any spies to monitor his whereabouts .

He felt weird when they were ambushed even when they changed their routes time to time but still they got ambushed which made him feel suspicious. At first he assumed that the killers were already set up ambush on every path but later he felt that makes no sense .

So he ultimately found sparrows were circling around the sky whenever they travelled so he knew that someone is leaking their travel details but he didn't know which one of them it was .

So he closely observed the female knight first but he didn't find any suspicious then he switched to the slaves but after examining them one by one he didn't find any clues so this made him rethink about the while incident .

After some time he concluded that the spy should be in one of the slaves since the knights is a honour they don't do these type of lowly work and Sarah confidence of her members made him switch his focus back to slaves .

After observing for them , he thought of why not use this chaos to escape ? .

So he didn't mention anything about the spy and he didn't even know who was the spy at first place .

This spy must be a professional or a really slave who was working for royal family by chance ?

This was the last conclusion he made because All the slaves had same lifeless eyes and hopeless feeling which was hard to fake unless it's professional!

But no one will bother to do that since even normal people could that for a Dethroned king .

He didn't mind since he will leave anyway but who knew the appearance of Quest system made his life change suddenly that he even can't speculate what will happen to him in future.

He didn't have the time to talk about spy matter due to their tough situation but now he had the time to dig them out so he did all this contract work to identify the spy hidden among the slaves.

When he talked about Freedom many people had same expression of hope but he found two people had gulity and no expression of happiness or hope which made him mark out them . When they were signing the contract every slaves signed it without reading except these two people who read the contract .

Even through he closed the eyes at that time he still could sense that these people took much longer time that the others . And they did a major problem by signing the contract since all the slaves did was just pressing their thumb print in the ink and signing it .

But these two took the feather pen and signed their name in it which made him immediately guess that they were the spy.

And this rookie mistake made by them was easily understood by Aaron that these people were not professional instead they were truly slaves and they were just promised some benefits to become spy for them .

"But the question is .....Who sent them as spy here ?"

He knew that it can be only answered by the spy themselves but he didn't take action against them instead he decided to use them as Bait and what more is important to understand the power forces of the Forsaken land now .

The two people was a woman around 28 year old while the young boy was 15 year old . Thes two people had gulity look when he directly looked at their eyes unlike other slaves who would bow down in fear but they didn't have fear but instead they were guilty expression on their faces . So he will assign some people to keep a eye on these two people to see what they will do next !

As he thought , A female knight bowed her head and said

"My lord ,Captain Sarah is here to report "

Aaron said to the female knight

"Tell her to enter "

Soon Sarah and Emilia entered the hall while holding a thin documents in their hands .

Sarah placed the document at the table and said slowly

"My lord We collected the details of every forces and clans in here without missing any details."

Emilia nodded her head too and said with certainty .

"My lord, This document contains everything and it's all no mere rumours" .

Aaron satisfied by their work and said to Emilia

"Emilia I will assign you a work . You have to do that task carefully and no error should be there !"

Emilia become solem and said with serious tone

"Yes my lord I will fulfill your task Without hesitation ".

Aaron said to her describing the young woman and the young boy features .

"Keep an eye on them and tell me every actions of them secretly . They could be spy "

Hearing this Sarah said with confused tone

"My lord why not execute them directly ?"

Aaron shook his head and said with a smile

"No need for that .I have something else for them to do !"

Emilia nodded her head and said

"My lord , I will complete your task with no occurence of failure."

Aaron then looked at Sarah and said after thinking for a moment

"Sarah I want you to gather talented and loyal people among the slaves. Try to train them into warriors "

Sarah didn't feel strange about it so she nodded her head and said before leaving

"Then we won't distrub you anymore "

When they are about to leave Aaron said suddenly to them

"Arrange a steward for this manor . Tommorow is difficult to handle alone!"

Sarah and Emilia nodded their head and left the hall . Aaron looked at the documents in front of him and started to browse through it .

The longer he read the longer his face became serious and sometimes he even had anger enough to kill someone.

But after reading halfway his eyes suddenly narrowed

"This....."
