Chapter 593: Everywhere is Fishy-I

Elise who was frowning then heard a commotion not far from her. Curious, her eyes try to find what it was, seeing Oliver again and she decided not to see the man. Ernest who was still speaking toward Kyle sighed, "It seems that I am really surrounded by deaths around me."

Elise could see the panic and worry on the man's eyes as she tries to read through his expression. She found Ernest to be a rather honest man but have her eyes seen the truth? she asked herself.

"Sir Kyle!" Oliver who was in a scuffle then called out to the elder church member when he noticed him. "Please help me sort this problem, sire. I have told them that the missing people haven't been found yet. However, they demand to—" Oliver's eyes widened when noticing Elise. She offered the man a smile that only resulted the latter to take a step back in fear before making his steps slowly forward again as if to cover his own slipped up earlier.

Kyle sighed and looked at Elise, "Lady Elise, can I have just a moment to sort this matter? I promise I won't be long."

"No problem," Elise answered the older man. "But can I have the permission to look around the place? Like the library or the place where the death cases of the loop forest and the second examination are kept at."

"About that—"

"If that's the case I will bring the lady by myself, sire!" Ernest said with a wide excited smile. Kyle seemed unconvinced at first and stared at him with furrowed brows, "Please, I have spend my life here in this place, I won't get Lady Elise lost here. She will be in a very good hands."

"If you hands are good, I won't be worried," Kyle shook his head, and looked back at Elise, "The documents room are kept in a very secluded place. We don't usually allow strangers that are not a part of the church to enter but once again you are the Lady of Warine and Ernest is now working part time here. If you don't mind having him as your lead."

"I don't mind," Elise answered quickly, "I only have a few description to double check. The description of the culprit."

"The dark sorcerer Lord, you mean, milady?" When Elise swiftly nodded her head, Kyle's eyes brightened, "Please just let me have ten to twenty minutes at most and I will come to your place to discuss this again, milady."

With Kyle who dashed in haste so he could learn more of the dark sorcerer case, Elise locked eyes faintly once eyes once with Oliver who gritted his teeth as if to warn Elise but she didn't entertain the man's act pathetic act of showing his crumbling pride. Ignoring the man, she then turned to Ernest, "Where is the document room?"

Ernest smiled, "Follow me," he said and walked before her.

In Heaven, Michael stood in front of a large cave which had been pushed to the corner of Heaven, exhaled a deep sigh from the deepest part of his lungs. When he walked nearer, the two angels who had been standing on guard on the outside of the cave.

"Sir Michael!" The guard on the left was surprised to see Michael that he unintentionally had screamed out the archangel's name, resulting in the person who was kept inside the prison to lift up his head, his golden eyes brightened throughout the shadow inside the room.

"Keep your voice down," Michael warned that had the guard to close his mouth with two hands. "Have there been anyone who came here?"

"No, sire. No one had came for the last four months," answered the guard while saluting.

"Open the door," ordered Michael then which the order was executed quickly by the two guards. He made his way inside the cave until he reach the iron grilled doors where two torches were placed on the sides. Michael didn't need more assistance as he pulled out his key and unlocked the gate. Getting inside the cave, he then flicked his fingers for the rest of the torches inside the cave to light up.

When the darkness lifted up and disappear, Michael finally saw the sight of an angel whose hair was tied short. His back was facing him and even though it had been dark he appeared to be meditating instead of sleeping.

"Raziel," Michael called his name with furrowed brows.

Raziel didn't reply quickly and until a while he asked, "I thought you would never come to visit me, brother."

"I don't intend to never meet you, Raziel," answered Michael who clenched his hands. "The dark sorcerers in the mortal world once again is making a havoc. Gabriel... he is missing."

Raziel's body moved slowly as if he flinched, "Gabriel?"

"We found his wings but not where he belongs," answered Michael in worries. "And... I found out it might one of us who has torn Gabriel's wings in Heaven."

Raziel who didn't turned finally shifted his position a little but his front was still facing the wall, "Why do you have to tell me this? I am done involving myself in all that is happening in Heaven or mortal world. I have learned my lesson."

Michael shook his head, "I came to ask your help, brother. We need someone who could find that traitor amongst us."

"I told you I am no longer interested—"

"Adelaide," Michael called out her name for Raziel to flinched again, "I know you miss her and even though I wish I can let you meet her again, I don't have that authority in me. But I do have a way for you to meet your granddaughter again and a way for your punishment to be pardoned."

Raziel's brows that were furrowed instantly untie. He turned his face, showing his bright golden eyes that were almost of the same color of his hair where the latter was milder in brightness.

"Who is it that I have to find?"
