"You have a disguised messenger from the Devil of Balance moving around you."
The moment the Golden Knight told him that—
The old woman from the Elite Residence was the very first person to come to Ethan's mind.
'That woman is undoubtedly one of Balance's followers…'
'But for her to be the servant sent specifically for me… that makes no sense.'
'I only received the mark a few months ago.'
'Meanwhile, she has been hiding inside Ashvarn for many years already…'
No matter how much Ethan thought about it, he found it impossible for the old woman to be the person sent specifically because of him.
The second person who came to mind…
Was the witch Schierke.
The same witch currently trapped alongside them inside Old Ashvarn, sharing the exact same mark as the old woman in an incredibly suspicious manner.
Yet Ethan possessed no actual evidence against her beyond her strange behavior—
Behavior that could be explained in more than one way.
