"This is the place." Laufey extended his hand, pointing at the wall. It looked like a normal wall, but when Laufey activated the chanism, the wall was gradually moving back before revealing what was inside.
When Noel entered the room, he couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. There was nothing inside the room. It was just an empty, cold room.
"Hmm?" Noel looked around. "There's nothing here."
Laufey closed his eyes with a pained expression. As he expected, they had already moved it elsewhere. "I'm sorry. I swear I didn't lie."
"No. I knew you didn't lie." Noel shook his head. "That person might be giving you a second chance to live by suppressing that curse.
"His wife was killed because of a certain incident, which made him furious. His rage was directed at the demons, who were the cause of everything.
"He used his curse ability to weaken the Supre Devil. Although I'm pretty sure that the person has died, his curse still remains, buying us ti to grow our strength.
"I'm pretty sure that this person was the one helping you the whole ti."
"!!!" Laufey was taken aback. This was the first ti he heard this story. After all, Noel didn't say anything when he told him about this person back in the mansion. "If it's not too much… May I know the na of this person?"
Noel paused for a mont before revealing his na. "Spencer Daivantaein, the 8th Commandant under the Ardagan family's ancestor."
"!!!" Laufey didn't expect that soone from a thousand years ago still had the power to help the people in the future.
Noel explained, "In one way or another, a human could last longer than a thousand years. They can use their soul to linger in this world, seal themselves sowhere, or even use an ability that can remain in this world.
"That's why, even though it was unintentional, he did help you. His curse was weakening the demon inside you, which was the reason why you were able to calm down whenever you sat here.
"Still, the fact that he was taken away ant the Supre Devil was still experiencing the suppression of that curse.
"There must be sothing bad that will happen if we sohow possess the body or destroy it.
"Either way, it's fine, even if we can't retrieve it right now. I do have a desire to give the elder of our family a proper funeral after everything he has done so far, but it doesn't need to be now."
Noel looked at the floor while closing his eyes.
[Scan complete.]
[There's indeed a trace of curse inside here. It must be Spencer.]
Even without Ardagan confirming it, he would still believe sothing was here. Noel muttered, "34th generation of the Ardagan family's patriarch… greets Sir Spencer. Forgive this junior's mistake for not being able to bring you back right now."
Laufey clenched his hands into fists before lowering his head, paying respect and thanking the person.
He truly had saved his life. He swore he would do his best in order to protect the family with the chance he had been given.
Noel turned around and said, "Anyway, let's go back. They should be done pretty soon."
"Are we going to let the Demon Banner Army take all the docunts?"
"Yeah. Though I will need you to write a bit of them for ."
"May I know what you plan to use it for?"
"Not much. I'm just planning to send it to a certain soone…" Noel smirked. This person would definitely have the power to go against the royal family.
Noel had been thinking about this. In their previous life, Anna kept ntioning him rebelling against the kingdom.
While he didn't have much loyalty to the kingdom that crushed his family, he didn't plan to betray it either. In the end, the Ardagan family had protected this kingdom for a thousand years, so he didn't plan to beco the head that broke it.
Still, he didn't want to launch a coup d'etat as well, even though he had the ability to do it.
In his past life, it wouldn't be weird for him to launch such a thing. In fact, Noel could easily raise a rebellion if he wished to, since the battle between him and the royal family was fiery.
People might have been thinking about him going all out and taking over the kingdom, but this ti, it was different.
In the past, Noel might have had a good achievent, but his plans might not be as perfect as in this life.
After all, Noel could see one more path for them to defeat the royal family without starting a coup.
And that was by usurping the throne.
If there was soone who could usurp the throne, it would be the third princess. That was right. He didn't know when his plan started to ss with what happened in the previous life, but he definitely didn't save the third princess in the past.
However, with the current situation and the fact that Duke Lorelei would beco strong enough to beco a contender, the third princess had a huge shot at usurping the throne.
She had hidden herself for so long in order to build up her strength so that no one could stop her anymore. And this proof was just a killing blow.
Once the third princess sat on the throne, the kingdom would be cleaned. Noel had only one thing to do.
To ensure the third princess' success, Noel had to go all out to stop both the third prince and the organization. Fortunately, the organization would be busy against the Demon Banner Army after this. That ant the next clash would be between him and the third prince.
As long as he kept the third prince in check, the third princess should be able to do the rest. Although she wasn't particularly standing out, Noel believed that her talent far surpassed an average royalty.
He saw that talent when the third princess helped Tristan suppress the rchant.
With a solemn face, Noel stated, "The mont Anna returns, we'll be extrely busy."
"Understood."
