Two Conditions

Angor spent a night weighing the situation and decided to give up on Lucas' secret.

For one, he couldn't afford to waste too much time on this matter. And secondly, no matter how carefully he moved, the truth-finders would notice his involvement sooner or later, which meant great risk. Meanwhile, he didn't see any noticeable reward to go with the risk.

It was like playing riddles with someone who was very good at mixing lies with truth, and he was getting tired of it.

An obviously better choice was to return to his job and recruit apprentices before heading to his next destination as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Angor tossed Lucas' book to a corner of his storage and continued working on Empty Ballad while waiting for the test to begin.

He came to the entrance of Ross Mansion in the early morning and saw Count Ross as well as his wife and children waiting there in their formal attires.
