“Wh-what is the young miss doing?”

“Playing detective?”

“She wouldn’t be able to hear anything even if she puts her ears on the door,” the Black Falcons murmured.

Aria had a serious expression as if she could really hear something from the inside.

Her cute antics caused the knights to feel a pang in their heart.

“What are you investigating?” A knight asked while suppressing a chuckle.

‘Should I answer him?’ Aria thought as she stared at the knight whose eyes glimmered with anticipation.

In the end, she decided to tell him.

[A murder case.]

The Black Falcons glanced at each other before breaking into hysterical laughter.

“A murder case. Pfft!“

“Well, if you stay near the lord, then you’ll never lose your job as a detective!”

“You’ve come to the right place!”

“We’ll help you find the evidence!”

They had a knack of lightening up heavy subjects.

‘I can see that they were trying to brighten things up since I am currently a child, but… ‘

This was not it.

Their way of talking would only make kids cry.

The grand duke, his subordinates, even his children!

All of them had no talent in childcare.

‘Now I know why the Black Falcons were as infamous as the Valentines.’ Aria thought.

Dwayne was the only normal person here in the grand duchy.

‘He always has an expression that seems to mirror headaches while standing next to the grand duke.’

He must have taken the wrong job.

Aria pitied the aide.

Then, she focused her hearing senses to detect sounds from the mansion.

“Unfair, you say?” Tristan spoke.

“Th-that’s right. W-well, I do not understand why we must compensate for the parasites…”

Viscount Cavendish.

As soon as Aria knew the other person’s identity, she immediately figured out what was going on.

‘He must’ve brought the compensation money for the grand duke.’

However, by his intonation, it seemed that the viscount had not prepared 1 billion zahr. It wasn’t unexpected since he did have a lot of debts.

“It appears that you have misinterpreted my words. The parasites are also part of our private property. Weren’t you people the ones who took it without my permission?”

“……”

Aria heard the grand duke snigger.

The Grand Duke of Valentine was deliberately mocking him.

“I suppose that’s only fair, but… Your Grace, please…”

The viscount was obviously troubled.

‘He has no other choice than to agree with the conditions. Since the cause of their illness has been revealed, his vassals might tarnish his reputation if he leaves it as it is.’
