After meeting up with the other Players, Angora quickly asked Edward and the others about the infiltration.
"I see, it's those two fellows …"
And when he learned that Terrosche and Silva had volunteered to infiltrate Pompard's castle, he immediately understood why Pompard had so angrily denounced him.
From a certain point of view, his elder brother wasn't trying to frame him.
After all, he was the one who ordered the Players to infiltrate Cecil's castle, and from the way those two idiotic Players usually did things, they would cut down Cecil even if he stood in their way …
Moreover, the Players' corpses would vanish if they weren't resurrected within a certain time limit, which was why Cecil couldn't bring out the corpse of the so-called assassin.
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Angora scratched his head, wondering if his decision to return to Tunaya was a wrong one.
"Moreover, I don't know if it has anything to do with what you're looking for, but I found some letters in his room."
Edward stared at Angora, who was so troubled that he was about to lose his hair, and handed him the letters he found in Cecil's room, fully expecting him to lose even more hair.
But when he took the envelope and saw the beautiful handwriting on it, he could not help but show a relaxed expression. "You're mistaken. This is just a letter my father wrote to his best friend, Ainsworth, a long time ago."
After all, what Angora was looking for was proof that the Church of Games was reviving in his elder brother's possession, and these old letters that were almost as old as Angora's clearly didn't have such a function.
"Although I don't know why it's in Cecil's place, it definitely has nothing to do with what I'm looking for …"
At that, Angora suddenly paused even though he had been very relaxed.
Frowning, he sat up straight and picked up the letter from the table, reading it carefully twice to confirm his hunch. "Damn it. Cecil can't be that stupid, can he?"
He had thought that Cecil was drooling over the System he obtained from the God of Games, which was why he mentioned the 'divine treasure'. Now, it seems that wasn't the case.
"What is it?" Vela asked worriedly as she waited on him.
The other players couldn't help but focus their attention on him.
Therefore, Angora simply told them what had happened after omitting the part about his background.
After listening to his explanation, Edward couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "There's nothing to worry about, right? In any case, your father's title will be his sooner or later. The strength of him and his subordinates is only at that level. Are you still afraid that he will rebel? "
"Nothing's impossible when you're cornered," Angora retorted.
"But wasn't it the best time to rebel when he brought his subordinates to block you and your father in the corridor? Isn't it too stupid and unrealistic to revolt after we get back? "Edward argued.
"You don't understand. Although they seemed to have the advantage in numbers, it was useless. The head of the castle had always been protecting my father in secret. He had originally been a high-ranked priest of the Temple of Glory, and if he hadn't become the head of the Faust family's castle, he would probably have been promoted to bishop by now. That ragtag bunch of Pompey wouldn't have been a match for him. "
Angora, however, pointed out the reason why they didn't attack directly. "Moreover, my father is an Archduke who worships Kratos, the God of War. Even if his ability isn't all that outstanding, he is blessed by the God of War from the Temple of Glory, and normal people wouldn't be able to easily hurt him."
"Then there's even less of a need to worry about your brother hurting your father, isn't there?" It was the first time Edward found out that the seemingly useless nobles had such a level of protection, and he couldn't help being surprised.
"That's how it is …" Angora scratched the back of his head in distress.
Pompey's venomous glare before he left always left him uneasy.
Let's hope nothing bad happens.
Even as he prayed, there was a sudden knock on the door that they had repaired with much difficulty (although it still looked crooked).
Every Player who was still immersed in the debate between the two was startled, and subconsciously assumed a defensive stance.
In the end, Angora, who was calmer, gestured for them to calm down while opening the door himself.
That was when Kinley, who had been standing outside the door, threw herself onto him. Just as he was about to draw out his magic wand, the weeping girl sobbed. "Run, run! Pompey's gone mad! "
Every Player, including Angora, was left bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
"What?" Angora was the first to recover. He forced himself to hold Vela's gaze and pushed the girl away a little, asking softly, "What actually happened?"
"I'm not too sure myself …" The girl seemed to have calmed down a little, replying intermittently, "Just now, I woke up from a dream … I heard the whole castle was in chaos … When I went outside, I found Pompey leading a group of monsters to attack the garrison … Uncle Gregory (the castle's supervisor) was killed by a monster that Pompey had turned into … Uncle Faust was leading the garrison to defend against those monsters … Yes, that's right! Uncle Faust told me to tell you to run … "
"Monsters …" Angora couldn't help frowning.
What's going on? He had assumed that Pompey would use benefits to bribe some nobles and religions to stir up trouble, and it would take months even if something happened. So why did he act right after he returned? That's against the rules …
In that split second, the System's voice rang in Angora's head.
