[A Request from the Duke's Wife!]

"What Book of Array?"

She looked at my face for a few moments before she took another bite from the biscuit.

"A book containing arrays," she answered with a straight face before she sighed and continued,

"It's something of a powerful artifact that the dark mages think exists here in Border Town."

"Is that why the number of dark mages have increased?" I asked with a slight pause. 

"Yeah. Supposedly they need people who can control arrays… especially Dark Mages," she spoke as her eyes looked at Anna.

"Her father?" I asked, as I got the hunch as to why she was here right now. 

"Have you heard of the Crazy Manipulator?" She asked as she took another sip of the tea. Noticing that the cup was almost over, I then poured another cup for her.

"The Dark Mage with string magic?" I wondered if there was any connection between the two.
