The Author's POV

Chapter 720

'…I should've thought things more thoroughly.'

Priscilla masticated her lower lip as she reflected on something. At the time, she was so intimidated by his power that she readily agreed to work with him without giving it further thought.

What choice did she have?

In the end, things turned out exactly as he had said, and she directly benefited from his help.

She didn't think much after that. She thought that their collaboration was over…

She didn't become aware of the nature of the circumstance in which she found herself until after she had a conversation with the other human.

"Shit."

She let out another curse.

Her footsteps eventually came to a halt in front of a substantial wooden door. It was a door that she had been to numerous times before.

To Tok—!

She knocked on the door once.

"Come in."

As if expecting her, she heard her grandfather's voice and she pushed the door open.

Clank—

She didn't say anything and kept her head lowered. She just waited for her grandfather to say something.

"What have you come here for?"

She didn't have to wait long to hear his voice.

Raising her head, she bit her lips once more.

Just as she was about to say something, her grandfather's words rang.

"Have you come here regarding what happened a month ago?"

She raised her head in surprise.

How did he know?

"Hum."

Setting his pen down, Prince Valling smiled.

"You think I wouldn't know? It was very obvious from the start that something must've happened since I know very well of your capabilities."

He continued.

"Although you are powerful, in no way are you capable of defeating seven Duke ranked demons. Especially by yourself…"

He lowered his head, eyeing her directly.

"…If our secret forces were used, I'd know."

Priscilla lowered her head. Indeed, the other houses might not suspect a thing because everything was directly pinned pointed toward Duke Ukhan, but her grandfather must have suspected that something was up because the Gall Bladder that she brought back with her was missing.

Since her uncle must've previously reported that they had brought one back, when he realized it was no longer there and everyone seemed to have completely forgotten about it, he must've realized that their memories had also been tampered with.
