"But on the surface the situation is different. The previous lord of Soyles empire, Lord Rein had abolished necromancy from his empire and had also announced a decree stating necromancy as a taboo. So, the art is lost for three decades and it is believed that after the death of lord Rein there is no one else who knows necromancy, so it is a futile effort for both of them to go there."
"If we are going to accuse them on the basis of our suspicions then we will surely face consequences and moreover the enemy would be alerted too."
"It was a good move played by those old geezers. In the name of maintaining international relations and diplomacy, they both are cooking something evil. We can't ignore them. They are the elites and Brian is the head strategist of warfare while Reseen is an extremely astute and meticulous person who doesn't leave any clues behind him. We need to be extremely careful and had to plan very methodically". Vladis explained everything patiently.
Arthur was grinning the whole time and after Vladis became quiet there was a glint in his eyes that can't be concealed. It was evident that he was becoming interested in this conspiracy game.
"Vladis you sure have a good observation skill"
"For the time being, continue having tabs on both of them but do it more discreetly after all they all are our precious uncles and my father's loyal subordinates, "he sarcastically said.
"Okay", Vladis replied but his eyes were glued on the confession letter the whole-time which Arthur noticed and gave a light chuckle.
"What don't you tell me that you want the letter"
" Are you going to write such mushy confession to someone?"
"Care to tell" Arthur teased him.
Vladis maintained a poker face and said, "you wish, I only intend to take the letter for studying the ink and for finding out the time duration it was written. Maybe it will help us in our investigation after all the letter was found in the official record of Vladella when she was the vice-chancellor of Reinstle empire "
"oh, I forgot to tell you that I need a one-week vacation"
"Why? "lord enquired.
Vladis sighed and gave a helpless smile," because I have to entertain my fiancée for a week."
"You mean the daughter of councilmen, Brian Taylor". Arthur spoke.
"yes, if not then I will be convicted for not following the previous lord's orders". Vladis spoke with a smile filled with misery.
Arthur was delighted to witness the scene in front of us and happily gave him one week's vacation.
-----
Taylor's Mansion was one of the elite's mansions in their empire with a long history of men serving as councilman for the lord. Their status was on par with royalties but there has always been a difference in powers.
Such as the difference between a king and a knight, such was their status.
"Mom, Mom, where are you? Mom, I am hungry"
Mrs. Taylor heard the ruffling footsteps of someone and before she could take a look at who was coming, she heard the loud voice of a girl.
she sighed!
"No need to guess, there they come, my precious daughters"
"Ceci, Camy you are back."
In a short time, both of the girls were sitting on a sofa inside the living room and when they saw their mother, they both got up from their sofa and hurled toward their mother hugging and kissing her.
Mrs. Taylor was a tall and skinny woman over the age of 50 years, but she barely looks like someone aged around starting 40's. She had elegance and charm, maybe because it was the basic trait among upper-class peoples, and being a wife of a councilman, she needs to have all these. She was a woman who was headstrong and commanding but now she was looking just like a normal mother with a faint smile with motherly expression.
She was equally delighted to see her daughters and she let them hug her.
"Mom have you made my favorite crispy Choco waffle or not. If not then I am going back", Cecilia pouted.
"Of course, sweetie have made both of your favorites, now just go into your rooms to freshen up and then come downwards to have some snacks. I am going to send someone to inform your dad that both of you have reached home safely." Mrs. Taylor said sweetly.
"Wait mother, don't inform father about us. We will give him a surprise when he comes in the evening, what do you say Ceci? "Camy excitedly asked.
"Wow, sis I never knew that you were also capable of having some fun. Sure, let us do it, it will be too much fun." Ceci too replied with a cheeky grin.
With that, they both stared towards their mother with a pleading stare
Can Mrs. Taylor refuse them, Of course not? They both were her darlings, and she was seeing them after so many years, of course, she cannot bear to turn them down and thus she happily agreed to their wishes.
"Okay since I have conceded to your wishes now you both hurry up and get freshen up."
"Okay as you wish," your highness both said in unison then they turned and started walking towards their room.
Although Taylor's mansion was huge with several rooms Ceci and Camila liked sharing. Despite having separate rooms for each of them they like to crash in their big brother's room.
Firstly, their Big brother Runes was always on a mission and they hardly saw him, and both loved him deeply and missed him too.
Secondly, they used to share their rooms when they were children, so they did not see anything wrong in it. The maids serving them however were stunned to see both their young mistress sitting on their young master's bed.
They wanted to say something, but they were also seeing them after such a long time and they did not want to say unnecessary things, so they zipped their mouth and decided to talk with the mistress about it. Ceci and Camy became tired and after reminiscing about their childhood they left the Runes room and went to their respective room for freshening up.
Both were exhausted from their journey and thus when they entered their room they dozed off. All the serving maids did not have the heart to wake them up, so they decided to tell their mistress.
