A Lie

Fleur's frustration mounted as she realized Ivaylo's schemes had manipulated her. Determined to uncover the suspicious man inside the ballroom, she ventured to the far right end of the castle. The horrifying sight of numerous corpses scattered in the corridor cemented Fleur's belief that she was on the right track and would find the culprit by tracing the trail of the bodies.

Though she did indeed discover the culprit responsible for the dead body, she was not the true mastermind behind the chaos. At that moment, Fleur did not doubt that Ivaylo was the one pulling the strings, deliberately leading her away from the ballroom.

'Probably, Ivaylo used the god's blessing of being able to hide his existence completely to trick me. But I've always been vigilant, so it's likely that when we went out of the ballroom and chased after the corpses, he was just standing behind the door with the person who can conceal existence!' Fleur thought.
