Layers of Doubt

When Mary pushed open the door, Kieran knew that his guesses were correct after seeing inside the room.

It was an average sized room. There was a 2-3 meters tall, 5 meters wide wall of books that blocked the whole wall on the left. On the right was a low tea table with an empty rack behind.

Based on the rack's design, it should be a rack that stored swords, but it was empty at the moment.

Directly opposite Kieran was a study table, also average sized. It was a facing the door and backing the window behind it on the wall.

The chair was tucked inside the table, revealing only the chair shoulder.

Moonlight shone through the window, casting a layer of silver dust on the floor. The moonlight also revealed an obvious sword mark on the floor. The sword mark extended from the door to to the window, at least a dozen meters long and with the depth enough to insert a palm.

"What a sharp sword slash!"
