Episode 149- Unusual tension

Emperor Zen froze as Levis told him his theory about the entire incident and its connections. His expression was expressionless the whole time; not because he didn't trust Levis, but because he was speechless.

"The people weren't after my son but... your eldest daughter?" Emperor Zen titled his head and continued, "But for what reason?" Levis's words made sense but they didn't at the same time. Eugene wasn't 'anyone' three years ago. Not only that, she was just a baby. If they had targeted her because she is a twin, why not target Euria and Eugene together? Only targeting Eugene was too random in his opinion.

Levis shook his head to indicate that he didn't know the organization's motives, however his expression remained firm that they were after Eugene. Levis explained that the paper incident that occurred following the incident at the Imperial Palace was something the organization did to make everyone believe they were targeting the Crown Prince.

Irvin Graeme narrowed his eyes and agreed, "The paper incident... It truly might be to divert the incident elsewhere." He leaned back as his hands tapped on the table, "We were certain it was the Crown Prince they were after. And the papers that circulated throughout the city 'confirmed' this for us. It gave us the confidence that we were investigating in the right direction."

Duke Marleigh's face was grim as he listened to Irvin Graeme. He pursed his lips and gave his theory, "The second time the paper incident occurred. It wasn't that they cared about criminal Aiya being executed." He paused for a moment and continued with a deep look, "It also wasn't that they wanted us to delay her execution..."

Duke Rodriguez turned to Duke Marleigh whose facial expression was pale from a sudden realization, "What do you mean?" He asked.

Irvin Graeme replied in Duke Marleigh's stead, "That paper that spread compelled us to remain in Xenperia and remain vigilant. No one would have known what was going on in Zene." If not for Euria's letter, the organization might've gotten Eugene, and no one would realize that Eugene was gone because of Commander Kal's hypnotism. The situation would have not been the way it is if there was no Levis or Moniqua.

"So you mean the papers were nothing but a diversion?" There was only speechlessness in Duke Rodriguez's face as he asked.

Irvin Graeme nodded.

Duke Rodriguez gulped. He was silent for a second before deciding to ask, "Does this mean that what happened to the Veria estate, as well as Levis encountering the enemies was all a... diversion?"

Irvin Graeme stared at Duke Rodriguez right in the eyes and nodded. The papers announcing Lady Aiya's execution, the incident in front of the Veria estate, the encounter with the child, and 3 adults were all to make sure no more Great Nobles head to Zene.

"We would not have been able to get Eugeneia back because the people I fought all committed suicide." Duke Marleigh exhaled loudly as he thought back to the incident.

The room was silent following his words when a voice spoke out.

"I believe we should ignore future 'paper' incidents or messages from the organization released to the public from now on." It was Irvin Graeme who spoke.

"Why?" Adele turned to her husband, "But that's our only lead." Her face was scrunched up as she stared at him.

"I agree with Irvin." Levis nodded.

Irvin turned to Adele and explained, "The reason why we should ignore future paper incidents is that the paper incidents only occur when the organizations want us to believe in something, or investigate in a different direction. If the organization had been 'mad' or 'angered' that criminal Aiya was being executed, they would have also spread papers after she was executed. However, they didn't."
