Chapter 226: The Enemy Hidden Behind

After Violet left, the guard captain was left alone to deal with the aftermath.

This was a troublesome matter, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to face it head on.

In order to prevent discovery and to keep secrets from leaking, in what should have been a dark corner...

A faint light flickered briefly, then vanished.

This went unnoticed by the guard leader, everything seeming perfectly normal.

If even Violet hadn't noticed it, naturally, it couldn't be expected for this guard captain to detect such a small indication.

Near the body, in the shadowy gutter, a faint shimmering light—it was a manifestation of magic.

It was a weak surveillance spell, its flow of magical energy almost nonexistent.

Because of this, it was extremely concealed, which was why Violet hadn't detected it, assuming it was just part of the ever-present magic disturbances in this world.

Violet instinctively ignored it as a magic fluctuation, not thinking too much of it.
