The Unknown Incident [1]

Was that it?

I furrowed my brows.

Unlike the earlier memory fragment, this one was notably shorter, depicting the characters throwing a tantrum and storming down to the parlor after failing to get their father to confront them.

The parlour?

All of them had gone there, while the butler and physician stayed behind. But something felt off. That butler didn't seem like just any servant. He might have been the Family Head's personal butler, the one who managed the household and earned his master's utmost trust.

Wouldn't someone in such a position be allowed into the Family Head's study? At the very least, trusted enough to bring his meals or deliver messages?

But how was that relevant here?

Even if he were the only one allowed to enter the study, the door could only be opened from the inside since there was no keyhole. But that raised another question.
