"That's nonsense."

Aser seemed reluctant to admit that he had been deceived by his clan for a long time.

But Kaid snorted.

"Do you want to believe it's just a coincidence? That the Artban family just got lucky with their timing?"

"......."

"That's funny."

Even I, who was hearing the details for the first time, found Kaid's words very convincing.

Baon said, interfering.

"Someone must have opened the door to the family home. It would be reckless to just barge in."

"In order to keep the Miat clan in check, there must have been a traitor."

Asher's expression was clearly confused.

Because at present, the East was in a standoff between the Miat clan, a wolf clan, and the Artban clan, a jaguar clan.

It would be difficult to do anything that would result in a loss of power.

What this meant was that, no matter how you looked at it, there had been a traitor planted in the Loisar family for a long time.

I was amazed at how Kaid could guess this much with just one clue that there was a spy.

Kaid, who had just finished drinking the lukewarm tea, looked at Aser and said.

"A man with a dirty back always has an escape route."

"......Are you saying that the evidence is somewhere?"

"Yes. I need to have at least one piece of evidence to protect my life."

Even his own clan had betrayed him, so it was highly unlikely that he would truly trust the Artban family.

Asher still looked down at the floor with a blank expression.

It seemed like it was difficult to recover from the shock.

As the situation became somewhat clearer, Baon looked relieved.

"Is there anyone who can guess, Lord Asher?"

"......No one comes to mind right away."

"Then finding the informant would be the priority."

In order to find evidence, it would be important to first find out who the informant is, right?

Because that's what Kaid wanted.

But Kaid shook his head and said that was not the case.

"No, there's something more important before that."

"What is that?"

Baon asked back as if he didn't know. I opened my eyes wide.

Is there anything more important than finding the informant? What is that? I listened intently.

"I keep forgetting. I hope you remember that I also decided to be Irene's flight instructor."

"......I haven't forgotten. I'll definitely teach you the lesson, so don't worry."

Asher gritted his teeth and spoke one letter at a time.

Normally, in a situation like this, I would have said that it was not a good situation and that I should just turn back, but Kaid was different.

He smiled slowly.

"I'm glad you didn't forget. Then, I'd like you to go to the forest first and wait for me."
