Looking around the sickroom where Ares was confined—or rather, underwent treatment—Aileen sighs.

The spells Baal cast to keep him under surveillance have all been forcibly severed. As Baal picks up the scattered, spent sacred stones, his expression is incredibly stern.

After all, holy power that rivals his own must have been used here. I’m not sure whether even the Maid of the Sacred Sword or the Daughter of God could do that.

The holy king’s barrier is supposed to be practically impervious. Even with the sacred sword, Aileen couldn’t break it without borrowing Serena’s power.

After Ares left the sickroom, he vanished. There’s no telling where he’s gone. Any traces of a teleportation spell have been cleanly erased so they can’t follow him.

At this point, their only hint is the words Sahra left behind. They go straight from the sickroom to the study.

“This is it,” Baal says, peeking into the bottom of a drawer.

Aileen looks inside as well. “It’s sealed… Did Lady Sahra do this?”

“Probably. She’s right; I doubt anyone but us could meddle with this…”

True to Sahra’s words, they’ve promptly found a false bottom in a drawer in Ares’s study.

The room was searched ages ago, but since holy power had been used to disguise it, the hidden compartment was overlooked. No matter how often you opened the bottom, another one appeared. While it seems like a trivial illusion at first glance, it had been cast with great care, and it really isn’t possible to see through it. Anyone who opened the false bottom would think, There’s nothing here, and that would be that. Even if they did manage to see through the illusion, the space below the false bottom is sacred ground, just like the place where the holy sword was sealed. Most would-be interlopers would probably just get lost in there and die.

However, Baal sticks his hand into the space with no hesitation and easily pulls out what’s inside. She’d expect nothing less of the holy king.

“A journal? …That’s not Ares’s handwriting.”

Baal strokes the gold letters sewn onto the red cover. Then he tries to open the locked book. Immediately there’s a loud, electrical crackle, and his fingers are knocked away. They’re bleeding slightly.

“Master Baal.”

“Don’t concern yourself. It’s sealed… Or is the book itself a cursed item? It may be possible to open it with magic, but…”

“If I may take it back to Ellmeyer, I’ll have Master Claude and the mage study it.”

“Want me to help?” Abruptly, Luciel appears in midair, upside down.

Startled, Aileen screams. “Father! You still exist?!”

“Ngh… I-I’ve gotten pretty used to you by now! You can’t hurt me!”

“What is this fellow? A human—or perhaps not? Why can you use magic inside our barrier?” Baal looks dubious.

Luciel flips, landing right side up on the floor. “Well, I am technically a god.”

“A god?”

“Forget that, let’s focus on the journal… Well, this is impossible!” All Luciel has done before he makes that declaration is levitate the journal and trace its cover.

Exasperated, Aileen takes the book from him. “Aren’t you giving up too
