"…" Noel understood what Raincart was saying. In fact, with all this information, he would have the same thought. It seemed that Raincart had been investigating on his own even though his son-in-law had asked him not to interfere.
But due to the limitation, he couldn't really investigate that far. Only someone from the Muivell Kingdom could do it without getting suspected.
Noel was the perfect example.
'I see. There's a chance that Marquis Stargaze himself is an ally and my father is the mastermind of his own executions. I don't know the reason, but I feel that a portion of it is the truth. If that's the case, the best option right now is to go to my family's mansion to get some information.
'With a low number of guards, I can sneak into the mansion to find out the real reason behind the execution. If I can't find anything, then I have to get stronger so that I can meet the marquis himself. Whether it's from torture or normal interrogation, I will be able to get some information.
'It seems this is the path to discovering about my family's circumstances. If it's like this, can I consider Anna the murderer of my family? But she was advocating for my family's execution… Although her opinion didn't matter, she was still…'
Noel fell silent, wondering what he needed to do now.
'Well, I'm planning to meet with Anna to explore the Sword Saint's tomb. After that, we're going to complete the rest of the requirements for graduation… Should I bring Anna to my family's mansion to help with the investigation? But I can't really trust Anna completely. She might be trying to erase all kinds of evidence. As expected, I have to go there alone.'
Noel pinched the bridge of his nose because there was another problem. 'Still, if I graduate, I'll be sent to the Dark Territory to fight against the demons. It's an opportunity to grow because there are many demons and we can absorb their crystals… That's what the knights from the Demon Banner Army needed.
'But if I go there, I don't know when I can return to investigate it. If I wait too long, the evidence might disappear since there's a chance someone might come to that place.'
Noel was contemplating his choices because one wrong move could screw him.
But there was one missing variable in his thought. Noel suddenly asked, "Grandfather. Do you know this figure called the third prince?"
"The third prince of the Muivell Kingdom… I mean, the former prince. The former prince seemed to be an honorable person since he wanted to take the throne for the people. It was said he wanted to remove the Supreme Devil Organization from the Muivell Kingdom.
"I think that was why your father supported him. Well, I'm not sure myself since I haven't investigated him. After losing in the throne fight, he was exiled to the southwest area to live there for the rest of his life."
Noel thought for a moment. "This is weird. Shouldn't the royal family kill the third prince since the latter might make a comeback?"
"Indeed. But I don't know anything about it. I can try to investigate, but my influence is limited in the Muivell Kingdom."
"If that's the case, then I'll go. I mean, my father told me that I could go to the third prince for help."
"Your father? I see. Well, if he says it's fine, it's fine I think." Raincart nodded in agreement. "It's your life. You can do everything you want. If you are tired and don't want to do anything with the Ardagan Family anymore, you can go back here and change your name to Noel Ezenholm. I'll be sure to protect you."
"Thank you, Grandfather." Noel bowed his head. "That's right. I want to ask you something…"
"What is it?" Raincart tilted his head in confusion.
"I…" Noel hesitated for a moment. He wanted Raincart to keep safe the introductory rune book for him, but knowing Raincart was a famous Spirit Magician, he might realize the relationship between the runes and the Spirit Enchantment, making things more complicated.

But if he brought the book back, Septa might be able to find it and ask him about the relation between that book and the runes he had seen in the Ancient Demon Tree's location.
Noel thought for a moment and said, "I want you to keep something for me."
"And that is?"
"I'm going to keep it a secret for now. I'll give it to you before I go back to the Muivell Kingdom." Noel made a wry smile. He also wanted to test his grandfather slightly, wondering if his grandfather would investigate him or not.
"I see. Well, I'll be looking forward to what kind of thing you want me to hold. I just want to make sure of one thing. You are not going to give me something illegal, right?"
"Don't worry about it." Noel shook his head. The runes weren't illegal since he was the only person writing them. Even the record about rune was only at the grand library in this kingdom.
But that also raised another question. Where did Anna's knowledge about runes come from? She said it came from a book, but it was kinda impossible since the only record was the book in this kingdom's library.
Raincart continued, "I'll hold that thing from you since it's not illegal. But you have to promise me that you're going to get it back."
Noel smiled, knowing that Raincart was indirectly implying to him to not die. "I understand. I'll be sure to get it back from you."
"Good." Raincart stood up and said, "Well, it's almost time for dinner. Let's go back and have dinner."
"Do you think it's fine for me to come?"
"It's fine. Everyone seems to like your father. As shrewd as he was, he was indeed a generous person." Raincart remembered one thing. "That's right. I heard you could use many Spirit Abilities. Tell me, since when did you start training?"
"I was truly ignorant before I came to the Demon Banner Army." Noel chuckled. It was truly hard to believe it, but that was what truly happened.
"I see. So, how about taking Ezenholm's name? With your talent, I can match you up with the princess, you know. Or maybe someone related to Duke…" Raincart smirked.
"Stop being my matchmaker. It's not the time for that yet."
"Even though you asked Ilzen to teach you how to cook?"
"How did you even come to that kind of conclusion?"
"Now that I think about it, Ilzen tried to test your rationality by making you sleep with Elsa. I guess you're not that kind of person."
"It was a test?"
"Hahaha, did I say that?"
