Act as bait

The sun was bright the next morning even though last night had been so dark.

There were even more guards that had been sent to the residence during the night.

It seemed that the king was taking this event very seriously.

Whether it was because it was related to the dwarves or to me, it was hard to tell, but at least he was taking it seriously which was a good sign.

I saw no sign of Shadow Five, but Shaka had stayed in the residence and was having breakfast with us.

When we sat down, I asked him, "Did you get any more information about who attacked us last night?"

Shaka slowly shook his head before saying, "We're still investigating it, but…" He couldn't help pausing as if he was hesitating to say something, but he still spoke in the end, "According to my sources, we might be dropping this investigation."
