Chapter 157: Rumor of the Fairy



Now that she thought about it clearly, Blaire should have been able to hide this from her, given how slick he was all this time, but in many cases, she somehow found clues to the crime location.

\'Is he doing that on purpose so I can catch them?\'

Seeing her friend\'s expression, Sasha smiled, "It seems you\'re starting to change your view on him. If it were the past, you would not have that kind expression, Lily."

"Well, I see how much he cares about you."

"He has gone through a lot, Lily. Don\'t tell him you know about this. I don\'t want him to get mad; he hates someone who knows about this."

Sasha\'s eyes then turned complicated. She then said in a low voice, "We just wanted to live in peace, but it seems the king has different plans. I am just being a burden to him all this time."

"Don\'t think like that, Sasha. I can see how much he treasures you. Now that you have recovered, you should be able to help him.

Honestly, even now, I still think you are too good for him."

While they had their discussion, Alex surveyed many locations from a distance: the palace, the army barracks, the auction location, and where the high councilor lives.

In the chariot, William is confused about Alex\'s real goal; he understands the palace and auction, but why does he need to check the high councilor\'s house?

And now the location they were going to was a secluded forest, an area that no one ever visits.

"Why are we going here, Alex?"

"I am looking for something. Tell me, William, did you ever hear about a fairy? A race with wings on their back."

"A fairy? Do you mean those rumors?"

"Tell me those rumors."

Alex concluded that one or both of those women should be of the fairy race, but he doubted Freya was the one behind this rebellion.

He speculated it should be one of her people; the reason could be greed or even dissatisfaction.

Through his investigations,  he found out that Aimu supplied a lot of key resources.

Even if the king became stronger than Aimu, there was no way he could just pull Aimu down.

The kingdom is surviving on resources from the Sentinel. But if he found out the resources were coming from the fairy race, and he secured their cooperation, then it all makes sense.

"It\'s just a rumor that has spread around lately that there is a group of fairies working to provide food for us, and not the Sentinel."

"Where did this rumor come from?" Alex asked.

"It\'s just a rumor, so no one ever investigated it. It\'s like talk people say in bars or as a joke lately. They will say something like, \'We got it all from the fairies.\'" William said as he tried to remember more information about the rumor.

"How about you, Roxy? You should go out more than William; do you know that rumor?"

"I follow the young master everywhere. Of course, I heard it."

"I mean, is this rumor talked about in other places?"

"Yes, it\'s talked about in the market too. For example, when someone tries to bargain with the price, and it gets too cheap, the shopkeeper will respond with, \'You think I am a fairy. That price will not cut it.\'"

"I see," Alex mumbled while he thought, \'This confirms my suspicion even further. I will need to look for some evidence before I can tell Aimu. If I tell them now, it will just make an unnecessary wedge between Aimu and Freya.\'

He had gotten some information from Blaire about those two women.

Based on reports he read, those two were also unique; they were left in front of the orphanage door as babies, so they didn\'t know who their parents were. When Blaire gave them to the king, he asked both of them beforehand, and they both agreed without hesitation.

Usually, even though the women had already decided to sell themselves, they would still be reluctant to go when the time came.

"Is that rumor somehow related to why we come here?"

"Since you already signed the agreement, I will tell you. The fairies are real, William."

"What!? Are they real? You mean the Sentinel really captured them all and made them work like slaves to provide the resources for us?"

Alex frowned, "Slave? You never mentioned that part before."

"Yes, the rumor tells us the fairies were worked like slaves, never receiving any recognition despite all the time they are slaving away.

Oh yeah, that reminds me of that drunken man\'s story."

William paused, feeling a glare coming from Roxy. "Young master, you told me that night you were only going out for a walk. So you went to a bar?"

"Cough, let\'s talk about that later, Roxy. I am explaining things to Sir Alex now," William then continued his story while Roxy glared at him.

"So where was I? Oh yeah, the drunken man\'s story.

He said once the fairies were living in prosperity and richness, but one day, the queen that led them suddenly brought them to war. Many rejected the idea, but no one dared to oppose the queen, so the war was fought.

The result was disastrous, leaving most of their people dead, left with no choice but to look for a path to retreat.

On her way, she met another king who was allied with the queen in the war. They made an agreement, giving the queen a place to live.

The citizens were relieved since they had a place to stay, but little did they know that what awaited them next was worse than dying in the war. "
