The room went still after Eula began.
"A month before now, the matriarch of House Vallahail, Lady Millis, went missing."
Hearing that, Leon's ears perked, and he couldn't help but ask, "Countess Millis?"
Eula nodded.
"Yes. At first, the head of the house, Count Sebastian Vallahail, was suspected by the Authorities and the royal guards, but he was soon found not guilty of all charges."
House Vallahail was a count house in the Liora Kingdom, proficient in alchemy.
Their ancestors came from a long lineage of well-known figures in the field, with groundbreaking discoveries. For a house like that to face those charges was a serious matter.
'The Liora Kingdom probably tried to save the very name.' Leon thought all that.
After Eula finished, she waited for the others to speak.
Tsubaki, the combat division head, asked, "So Count Sebastian was behind it, and he tried to hide from the officials?"
