Who Did This?

Karen sank in the bathtub more. It had been a long time since he had come home. He could not remember the last time he had used a bathtub.

He held one of his hands on the surface of the water. The cold water began to heat up. This secondar trait did not allow water to get colder. So, he could stay in the bathroom a little longer.

He was startled by the sound of the door. "You can come in, Lal," said, although he did not see the knocker.

An elegant woman with blond hair that could almost be called white entered the room. She could not see her master from the steam in the bathroom.

"As soon as I got the news about Gonzales, I came here to inform you, sir," said Lal.

Karen was not really that pissed off when he heard what Gonzales had done recently. His mood was more like 'I told you so'. He had been telling SOU about Gonzales' minor massacres for at least five years, but no one listened to him.

However, this time, SOU had decided to take action, as it had gone astray until he did not leave any primar in his own lands, and this massacre was now noticed by the primar cities. Wondering how SOU would solve this, he asked his assistant to investigate.

"Sir, Gonzales was killed with his men under his command," said his assistant.

Karen looked up and asked, "How did they do that?"

Lal said, "SOU officially announced last night that they have undertaken this operation. But they did not explain how they did it."

Unable to learn what he wanted to learn; Karen plunged his head halfway into the water again.

"Okay Lal, thank you," he said, but as his mouth was in the water, Lal only heard strange noises.

"One more thing, Sir," she said.

"What was that?" Karen was not interested.

Lal said, "You are invited to a symposium by SOU. It will happen in three days." said and "Are you considering joining?" she asked.

Karen "Forget it, let it go." he muttered.

When Lal did not go out of the bathroom for a while, Karen turned to her. "What is it this time?" he asked.

Lal was silent for a while. Then, tensely said, "Sir, the Grand Master has prepared Gonzales' murder plan."

Raising an eyebrow, Karen asked, "How did you find out—" but when he thought of the uncontrollable telepathy of the twin sisters with each other he just said, "Okay Lal, thank you."

Lal went out of the bathroom. He thanked her because Lal had broken the ban on not telling telepathic information. Lal rarely broke this ban. This time she chewed to encourage her rather reluctant master at socializing events like the symposium, and it worked.

When Lal went, Karen thought about it for a while. SOU had not dealt with this with an army. Because the army had to go through Miler lands to get out of the SOU and go to Gonzales' castle, and if that were the case, Karen would have known for sure.

Although General was considered as the main lord of the Miler lands, he could not lead an army down those roads without his son's knowledge. But the idea of ​​a special team that knew shortcuts made sense.

Probably five or ten soldiers had done this, Karen thought. If they knew the shortcuts and had acted stealthily, they might have missed Karen on the route. However, the idea of ​​a special team would be illogical if there were sekondars inside the castle who were left alive, except Gonzales and his men, and were found to be innocent.

He came out of the tub and grabbed a towel.

But it was strange that Zal, her sister's assistant, knew about this plan. Zal was somehow included in the plan. So, he had seen at least one of the people who suppressed Gonzales' rebellion.

He suspected that only one person could have done this job. He thought of the power of Gonzales, the imposing bandit whose face he had last seen two years ago. "Don't be silly Karen," he muttered to himself. He came out of the bathroom.
