First, it is the crime scene.
Well…… this is Advanced magic, I wonder if I will go off the rails if I cast it……
well, being intermediate level three for so long, there is no harm in trying.
--Advanced Level 1 - Divine Trace Tracking.
Through the traces to restore the images of the past, of course, only some slight images.
First, blood ......
Impalement sounds ......
Chaotic footsteps ......
Violent heartbeat ......
Scuffle ......
Fight ......
--end.
Geez, It really is still too reluctant for me? ......
Then the second step, find Nalisa.
To be honest, I was afraid to see her at present......
What that sunny smile after being deeply hurt by reality will become I do not even dare to think ......
While thinking I unknowingly returned to the revolutionary group meeting place.
This is a dimly lit hut in a remote alley in the outer city of Elysis, which was a secret base for the three of us before the Elysis revolutionary group was formed.
Speaking of which, we actually used this place for more than a decade ......
Now that I think about it, things have changed ......
"Finlan- "
A faint gasp came from the darkness in the corner.
"Who!?"
I almost jumped to my feet at the shock.
An arm, then a torso, and finally a head were revealed in the wall where the sound had been made.
Tasia, in such a frightening way, drew his body out of the wall and then fell limp on the floor.
He lay on his back, breathing heavily, and smiled at me as he always did.
"I hid in the wall when Noiad came in earlier, and when I saw you I thought for sure you would come back."
"Tasia, what happened at that time?"
He noticed the strange look in my eyes and smiled helplessly.
"It looks like you already know a lot, so I won't hide it -"
---- ---------- --
The Elf Prince Kalmen, Tasia's true identity.
He ran away from Griffin a few years ago.
His purpose was to escape from marriage.
As the chosen elf king, he should have intermarried with the only bloodline of the sacrificial clan who is the guardian of the ancient wood, but he refused to do so.
Kalmen believed that even as a royal family, he should have the right to choose a lover.
When he left, he took the elf clan's greatest treasure with him, the Three Thousand Spirit Ring, which is one of the six sacred artifacts on this continent and can perfectly disguise its owner as everything.
He just walked aimlessly, and rested whenever he came across a certain small village.
It was then that he met a destiny-like, shining maiden.
She was posing in an exaggerated gesture, making the children with furry ears laugh happily.
That beautiful and warm scene was imprinted in his mind.
The young maiden noticed him and raised her eyebrows -
"Hey! That man! How can you walk with bare feet! It's so cold, how can you wear so little!?"
Kalmen looked to his body, completely missed the feeling of what the young maiden said.
"Hey--"
The young girl pulled her shoes out and tried to hand them to him.
Kalmen pushed the shoe away and smiled tenderly at the young girl -
"I don't need it, then again, what are you doing?"
And just like that, their lives intersected, Kalmen learns about Nerissa's ideals, and Nerissa knows who Kalmen is and how determined he is.
A plan that almost turned Elysis upside down was officially launched -
However, it turned out to be just as we stated before.
Faceing with Cyric's inquiries, Kalmen was also very distressed, and he decided to talk to the city lord himself.
---------- ----------
"What happened after that? Did you really kill the city lord?"
Tasia shook her head and sighed deeply.
"I really didn't expect that I would be detected by my clan just for a moment. ......"
---- ---------- --------
When facing the city lord, Kalmen took off his three thousand spirit rings to reveal his ture identity and let Cyric go out to face the city lord alone.
However, what Kalmen didn't expect was that just a moment after taking off the Three Thousand Spirit Ring, he was found by elf ancient wood and the sacrificial maiden with whom he was supposed to be joined in marriage was transported.
And at that time, the city lord who talked with Kalmen was slandering that all Fae except humans are disgusting and pretending bastards.
This was heard by the ritual maiden who teleported here, and the maiden beheaded the city lord by hand.
---------- ---------- ----
"Then, I also failed to tell Cyric outside the door, I hurriedly jumped space to escape, and even so I was still almost stabbed to death by her."
"...... So that's how it is ......"
Should I say "No wonder Tasia would run away from the marriage" or "You guys go take responsibility for this" ......
