As soon as Noel stepped inside the hidden room, there was only one book in that place since this was the place where Ardagan slumbered previously.
It was the notebook of his ancestor that he didn't finish in his dream because of what happened during that ti.
He carefully opened the book and saw the first few sentences in that book. The words were exactly the sa, so it ant either Ardagan or his father had read this book.
Noel looked around to find any more clues, but since there was nothing but stone wall inside, he decided to walk back to the office and put the book on the table.
The book wasn't that thick, so he should be able to finish this book in one sitting.
But to his surprise, when he lifted the book up, a letter fell down to the ground.
"This is…" Noel widened his eyes in shock. He carefully picked up the letter and opened it because he never saw this letter in his dream. Even the paper looked new.
"My son. By the ti you read this letter, I'm sure that we're not with you anymore. However, there's no need to fear because your mother and I are fine in a place no one knows.
"To be honest, I don't know when you're going to read this letter, but I'm pretty sure that you'll find the hidden room after you go to the headquarter of the Demon Banner Army. There is a hidden room inside the treasury that your ancestor left behind, which should be related to the hidden room. So, I believe you will find this room from there.
"I don't know much about Ardagan, but I am aware that he's a living spirit. If Ardagan deems you to be ready, I believe that he's going to show you the hidden room inside the Demon Banner Army's treasury.
"You should know that I was supporting the third prince, right? I don't know how much do you know about the truth, but I'm going to be blunt here.
"I and Marquis Stargaze are best friends and we have agreed to split up to find a certain truth. If you truly don't know what to do, you can go to him and ask for his help. But I doubt that he has the ability to do it because he's also being monitored.
"Hence, our execution is simply a way to hide , allowing us to further investigate this certain truth.
"As for the certain truth… it's big yet simple that I can explain in a single sentence. To put it simply, the royal family is colluding with the Supre Devil Organization.
"I'll explain it further now. We don't know which mber of the royal family is colluding with the Supre Devil Organization, but as expected from the royal family, they're ambitious. So, we targeted the ambitious people, which was the crown prince and the third prince. Marquis Stargaze took the crown prince's side while I took the third prince's side.
"Hence, I want you to do sothing for . Help investigate the third prince and the current king, but you must go to the third prince first because it's easier to gain his trust now. If you need soone's help, go to a cliff and jump off because soone will be there for you.
"That's all I can tell you right now. However, believe that your father doesn't want to do this if not for the fact that your life is threatened. There is actually another verse of Ardagan.
"It's said that Ardagan can glimpse into the future. No one has the quality to be his master this whole ti, but I noticed Ardagan started to change after you were born. I didn't want to believe it, but Ardagan had chosen you as his master. The problem is… the other verse told us that the mont Ardagan chose its host, the great danger would befall. I couldn't handle the danger by myself, so I could only prepare all these things for you. I'm sorry, child.
"Your father and your mother will miss you. We don't want you to be in danger, but we can't do anything to prevent it. If you think it's too dangerous, please forget everything about this letter and live the way you want. There's no need to rebuild the family. You can even go to your mother's family to live there. All I and your mother want is a smile on your face every day. We love you, Noel."
"…" Noel fell silent when looking at this letter. There was simply too much for him to take. First of all, the royal family and the third prince were the pri suspects. There was also the Supre Devil Organization. If they were truly connected, they must be planning sothing big.
Hence, it was certain that Noel couldn't trust them both.
"Seriously? Am I a child of prophecy or sothing? I never signed up for this." Noel pinched the bridge of his nose. "All I want is to live lazily. Or did my parents just misunderstand the prophecy? I feel like my life has been filled with misunderstanding recently…"
Noel's eyebrows were twitching, feeling the trouble ahead. Still, Noel scratched the back of his head and muttered, "But I don't think I can let this go either… the dream I had with my parents were the regret buried in my heart. At the very least, I wanted to restore my family to its previous state."
"Yeah. There's only one thing to do." Noel clenched his fists as he was determined to do it. He also rembered the fact that Ardagan could actually remind him of the hidden room when he was in treasury. With how Ardagan could create a mission with Anna's information, it wouldn't be weird if Ardagan would give him a mission to discover the hidden secret in the treasury.
So, Noel stroked Ardagan gently and said, "I might not be that worthy as your host right now, but I'll be sure to keep getting stronger. When that ti cos, we have a lot to talk, buddy."
…
Noel wasn't the only one who found a clue to the current situation. Anna dropped her book in the library while gasping. "Is this…true?"
