172 The revenge of the fallen (part 1)

The bewilderment on Rosy’s face says it all. She knew it was over for her. Vale took a long sigh and asked the others to go upstairs for a moment when Xander turn his head to her. He could see the desperation on her face, and somehow, felt sympathy for this girl.

“Alright, so miss Rosy now is the prime suspect of the incident. Most likely, she informed her associates about the team, and they ambushed them at the right time. Now the problem is, who are they?” Vale has a hard time trying to put the puzzle together.

“How about we tried to ask the young woman herself? You know, there was a method that we could use.” Said Foster vaguely to Vale.

Xander eyes grew wide. “Did you mean torture? How could you?! She was just a young woman!” He couldn’t believe what Foster had just suggested to Vale.

Raising his hand to stop Xander, Vale then gave another suggestion to them. “First of all, let’s take a look at the book. The insignia most likely was there since this young woman become a criminal just to take this book.”

“You’re right,” said Foster with more enthusiasm than he should be. He goes out for a while and goes back with Rosy’s bag. “It seems heavier. I think there might be more than just one book inside.”

Vale took the bag and open it. He nods his head. “Yes, there’s also her profile record inside this bag.”

“What? So, she was also the one who took her file?” Xander was amazed. He read the profile record while a question came to his mind, “How come the administrators never put her on the record?”

“Probably because one of them was working together with miss Rosy,” Said Vale to Xander, he turn to Foster with an instruction, “I need you to arrest all the main hospital administrators, one of them was cooperating with the downstairs miss.”

.....

“Affirmative, primary captain. I’ll put them in the central jail and will be waiting for further instructions.” Foster salutes Vale and goes outside the tower.

Vale took a glass of water on the table and drink it immediately, but as soon as the water touches his mouth he coughs the water out. Xander was surprised and jump from his seat.

“What’s the matter?” He asked Vale, looking so confused by his behavior.

“Some magi enchanted this f*cking drinking glass!” Answered Vale after he put the glass that was now full of water again.

Xander chuckles, “Really?! Who on earth bothered themselves to enchant a drinking glass?”

“Some weirdo probably, anyhow, I want you to read her profile record while I check into the bloodline and insignia book.” Said Vale to Xander, the book already half open in his hand.

“Right, let me check her profile record. Hopefully, we get some tangible information by now.” Xander’s agreed with Vale’s suggestion.

For an hour, they were busy reading Rosy’s profile record and the bloodline and insignia book. Xander read about her personality trait, talent, and family. He put a note on everything that may have become a clue. Vale, on the other hand, just doesn’t get any luck on the insignia.

“This is strange, this insignia is nowhere inside this book, I’ve been back and forth between the nobles and royalties but…” He went quiet for a while, and shouted, “Wait a second! Oh, I was such a fool!”

Xander was shocked. “Oh, God! What happened now?!”

“Make sure those attitude doesn’t come around when there are military personnel around us,” said Vale, glaring at Xander who raises his hand and apologizes to the primary captain immediately. “Good, so, I realized that even though this is a genuine insignia, the weapon that they chose was not in a good condition, that will be strange for a noble, who probably could maintain the integrity of their weapon or buy a new one.”

“Yes, so they are not noble, but commoners, then?” Xander gave his opinion to Vale.

Shaking his head, Vale then said, “No, having insignia was forbidden for commoners, and this insignia was definitely coming from some ancient noble family. There is just one answer for this.”

Xander raised his eyebrows at Vale. “And that was?”

Opening one section of the book, Vale shows him the picture inside. “Take a look at this.”

When Xander saw the picture, he shouted excitedly at Vale, “This is it! This is the insignia, right? But why was it so hard for you to find this insignia?”

“Look at the page section where the insignia picture belongs to.” Said Vale again.

Reading the section, he was stunned. His head turning so quickly to Vale, “The Fallen Noble, Bacardy family… God! So, they were nobles that condemn to become commoners!”

“Exactly. That’s why they have the insignia, but don’t have enough stipulation to maintain their lifestyle. Their land was already confiscated, and they were condemned into a commoner’s life.” Explained Vale to Xander, So, miss Rosy, is probably part of this Bacardy family.”

“She was adopted, though, into a farmer’s family in a rural village, where she worked as the regional healer now,” Xander said to Vale, while he handed Rosy’s profile record.

“We need to question miss Rosy, and you send your familiar to the encampment, and also need to find the farmer that adopted her.” He grabbed Xander’s shoulder before he walked outside the room. “Be careful and be discreet. I think this case is becoming much bigger than before.”

Nodding his head. Xander agreed with Vale’s statement. While the primary captain magi goes back to the dungeon, preparing to question Rosy, Xander goes to the highest floor of the tower. He looks into the night sky, and after feeling the breeze, he called for his familiar.

“Terran, are you here?”

A white thunderous light came outside from his shadow, a medium size peregrine falcon with peculiar white eyes flying in front of Xander.

‘You called me, master?’

“Yes, I want you to send a message to the crown prince, telling him that he needs to send knights to Beraz village, and apprehend the adopted parents of miss Rosy. Also, give him this note.” He put the small parchment and bind it tightly into his leg. “Be careful, and afterward, you can go hunting for a while.”

‘Really? Well, then I need to go right now.’

Before Xander could say goodbye, Terran already fly away into the night sky. He smiles and goes downstairs, how shocked he was when a blood-curdling screamed is coming from the dungeon. Xander run as fast as he could, but when he arrived at the dungeon, he saw Vale with his glowing eyes cast a water spell inside Rosy’s cell.

“Vale, stop!” Screamed Xander to him.
