"......What? Are you telling us to leave?"

"Yes. Please leave."

Baon pointed firmly at the door. Asher sighed and spoke to the rest of the elders.

"It would be better to follow for now."

"Ahem! Ahem!"

The elders of the Loisar family who had been sitting reluctantly left their seats.

When he was left alone in the room, Asher looked nervous.

It seemed like he was worried that the Astrophel family might make unilateral demands.

"Now tell me. Why did you tell me to stay behind?"

"No big deal. I just wanted to make sure. Now, let me tell you what we want."

It seemed as if Baon was organizing his documents, then he opened his mouth.

"What we ask is simple. First, please do not tell the Artban family what happened today."

"That's not difficult.... but is that the only reason you made the other elders leave?"

It was a ridiculously easy request considering that they had all been sent out. Asher frowned.

Surely this isn't the end?

I squinted my eyes and looked at Baon. As expected, he got straight to the point.

"You have to become a spy in return."

"......A spy? Are you telling me to be a double spy against the Artban family?"

Asher took a deep breath.

"You understand correctly."

Baon smiled faintly. Aser was speechless and couldn't say anything.

Because the risk the Loisar family had to take on as a double agent was great.

With the successor being held hostage, the position of head of the family was also left vacant, so for the time being, it would be overwhelming just to reorganize the family.

In the midst of all that, I thought I understood why he had to be a double agent.

Asher sighed. He nodded reluctantly.

"Now I understand why you all were sent away. ......I get it. I don't have a choice. What should I do?"

"Unfortunately, although we have received a confession from the spy we interrogated, we lack the evidence."

"He told me to bring evidence."

"That's right."

Certainly, if the Loisar family played their role as spies properly, it wouldn't be difficult to gather evidence.

And perhaps this could be an opportunity for the House of Loisar as well.

The fact that Kaid wants proof that the Artban family is involved means that he wants to end it somehow.

If that were to happen, the Loisar family would be able to find a successor and not be swayed by the Artvan family.

Instead, there were a lot of risks involved.

"I heard that there has been a recent change in power in the Artban family."

"you're right."

"What kind of person is the new head of the household?"

"he is......."

Asher's complexion darkened instantly.

Aser's gaze briefly turned upward as if recalling a memory, then returned.
