445 Detective Kelton. "Reeve, you have to help me." On the other hand, Kelton, who was already panicked because of Amaya's sudden disappearance, decided to talk to Reeve. Just like Keeve, Reeve was one of the leaders of the Shadow Unit that is loyal only to the King. He was also a King Stage Cultivator and unlike Keeve, who involved himself in different matters and even takes missions from the King, Reeve's only responsibility was to protect the King. In others' eyes, Keeve was the King's strongest subordinate, however, in truth, Reeve was even stronger than Keeve, he just didn't show himself in front. Not many people knew about him, even the Ministers of the Royal Palace didn't. Kelton, however, was of course different than others, as Amaya's subordinate, he knew many things that normal people didn't know. "I owed you a favor, that is why I came here when you called me, however, what you are asking is impossible, as you know, other than the King's security, I do not handle anything, Keeve does. However, even if you ask him, I can assure you that he wouldn't be able to help you much. You have to know, Kelton, A Prince has died. We need to find the culprit as soon as we can, I am sorry to say this, but we cannot waste our time on Consort Amaya. And you know Consort Amaya, do you not? This whole blood in her room and her being missing might be one of her normal plays." "It is not!" Kelton, however, was sure. "You have to believe me, this is not a play, Lady Amaya is actually missing! She might be in danger!" Reeve shook his head. "I cannot do anything, Kelton. Lady Amaya is just a consort, Prince Lovis is the Third Prince, someone who could have very well become the next King of the Kingdom. We need to investigate this first, only after this investigation is completed would we shift to Consort Amaya." Kelton clenched his fist in anger. In the end, he didn't say anything and turned around. With a determined look on his face, he decided. 'I will investigate everything on my own.' With this thought in his mind, he returned to Amaya's room. He then saw the blood trail and walked towards the window. Then, he jumped out. After looking around a little, he noticed more blood on the ground. A large splatter. Obviously from the impact of jumping out of the window. 'It was most probably Lady Amaya.' Kelton thought inwardly and followed the blood trail again. While following the Blood Trial, he soon appeared in front of Palace Waals, there, he noticed a bloody handprint on the edge of the wall. 'She was trying to climb up.' Kelton noted. He did what Amaya did and climbed, then, he jumped out of the Royal Palace. Many soldiers noticed him doing all this, however, he didn't care. Nothing else mattered. He could already imagine what had happened. Lady Amaya was attacked by the assassins, the assassins underestimated her because she couldn't move, however, luckily, Lady Amaya must have gained her hours of freedom right when she was attacked. Then somehow, she must have stopped her opponents, and using this chance, she must have run away. However, while doing all that, she was injured and bleeding, the assassin didn't even give her a chance to drink a healing potion and continued to chase after her. Just thinking about all this made him boil in rage. Kelton then looked around, trying to find the blood trail, however, this time, he was not able to find anything. He frowned, 'Was she caught here?' However, he then shook his head. 'If she was caught here, there should have been more marks on the walls, not just a simple handprint.' Kelton thought inwardly and started looking around again, in the second search he finally realized why he couldn't see any more blood. The trial was wiped out. If it was someone else, they would be out of options, however, Kelton decided to follow this 'wiped out trail', it was a little difficult, however, for someone like him, it wasn't that hard. Kelton followed the trail and after walking for a while, he noticed that the signs of wiping away were too strong on the ground. He frowned, then, he crouched and started digging. He didn't need to dig for long, 2 seconds later, red sand appeared. Kelton's face turned solemn. For the sand to get red, the blood fallen on this ground must have been too much and it must have been fresh. Kelton looked around and his face turned even more solemn when he noticed that there was no more blood trail after this. Not even the 'wiping out' marks were there. Lots of blood, no more blood trails, This could only mean one thing, There was a high probability that Lady Amaya was captured here. Kelton looked around, trying to find something that would go against his assumption, however, his eyes then fell on a tree. The sand under that tree was a bit strange. Kelton rushed towards the tree and started digging the sand, soon, the same turned black. Something was burned here. Kelton's entire body trembled. He assumed the worst-case scenario. However, somewhere in his mind, he hoped that he was wrong. To fulfill that hope, he had to investigate more. Soon, a few documents appeared in his hand, he didn't waste any time, he sat on the ground and started searching through the documents. 5 minutes later, he finally found what he was looking for. Night Guard's schedule. He started searching and soon, he figured out the names of the guards who might have seen Lady Amaya last night. Soon, more documents appeared in front of him and he started skimming through them. An hour later, Kelton already had the addresses of all the guards and the next moment, he had already rushed towards the first guard's house. *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* He knocked on the guard's door aggressively. A few seconds later, a woman opened the door, "Yes?" "Is Jimmy Decker inside?" Kelton questioned. "Yes, who are you?" The woman answered. "I need to talk to him."
