Chapter 1034: Subtle Hints at the Ceremony





Translator: TransN Editor: TransN
The coronation celebration lasted all day, from noon all the way through to the evening .

The central square was saturated with the warm aroma of savory soup as it simmered in pots above the fire . Within the pots, a thick layer of spicy oils glazed the surface displaying the richness of the soup . It was made so that anyone could add the food they wanted and eat as they pleased . As spices were still considered as luxuries in this era, the party attracted many civilians . Some people even brought jars and barrels, hoping that to bring some soup home to savor every drop of it later .

City Hall was in charge of continuously adding water and broth into the pots . With each addition of chopped beef bones and sausages, the crowd would burst into loud cheers .

This would have been an incredible scene during the Months of Demons in the past .

People used to breathe gingerly during a long winter season, for cold represented death . But now, they could appreciate the snow drifting down from the sky and express their love for life without such fear .

Because they knew there would be enough food to keep them warm .

Everybody raised their cups in celebration of the new king while sending him their blessings .

. . .

Sylvie turned around and watched the bustling castle hall .

People here were also having a good time .

There was plenty of delicious food, wine, music and laughter .





The party became even more boisterous when Roland and Anna presented themselves in their wedding gowns .

It was Sylvie's first time to see such a unique wedding gown . Completely different from the white dress the bride had worn on the Chief Knight's wedding, the new one designed by Roland was actually nothing like a nightgown . The dress was mainly in red and gold, with long sleeves and a full skirt . Its shoulder parts were ornamented with two patterned ribbons of intricate and elegant designs .

Not many people could pull off such a bright color, but the dress was perfect for Anna . She was a genius fire controller and one of the most outstanding witches of this era . The bright red outfit made her look even more stunning whilst also making her display a gracious and queenly aura .

Everybody raised their glasses, to which Roland and Anna returned a smile . It was a perfect party .

But Sylvie was all tensed up .

She had noticed something strange at the ceremony .

As she had the Eye of Magic, she was obligated to detect anything out of character before anyone else and promptly notify the other guards . For things like a coronation ceremony, she had to make sure Roland was absolutely safe, not only because he was Princess Tilly's brother but also because it was her responsibility as a guard . Therefore, Sylvie had been extremely cautious, making sure that she did not miss anything .

Each incident seemed insignificant if she looked at them separately . However, once she pieced them together, she found something suggestive .

This reminded Sylvie of a song Roland often hummed .

The lyrics were quite interesting, which read "a walking stick blackened, a strong floral scent softened . . . many jigsaw puzzles that might not make sense to you, would eventually lead you to the discovery of a truth well hidden . "

It was worth noting that after Mystery Moon heard the tune, she made it the song of the Detective Group .





The situation this time had been exactly as the lyrics described .

Sylvie did not know what the problem was . Normally, she would have warned Nightingale and Ashes by now .

But this time, she kept silent .

Because she suddenly remembered what Anna had told her two days ago .

"The person who keeps the secret is always the one that knows it . I need your help, Sylvie . "

At that time, she had not understood the meaning behind it, so she had not given it much thought .

But now, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, Sylvie saw the full picture . Anna's words were the last piece of the puzzle that had just been slotted into place .

She discovered a secret .

Sylvie did not take delight in it . Instead, she felt a huge burden being laid upon her shoulders .

Because now she had to not only keep the secret but also stop others from noticing it .

Someone else had probably also noticed those subtle signs!

Sylvie surveyed the entire hall . Her eyes rested on three people .





"Achoo!"

Lorgar rubbed her nose, glancing about suspiciously .

"What's the matter?" Andrea asked . "Wolves can also catch a cold?"

"I'm not sure if it's my nose . I've been feeling something wrong since this morning . " Lorgar made a sniff . "The odors I smell seemed inconsistent with the number of people here . . . "

"Inconsistent?" Ashes cut in . "Can you actually tell people apart by their smells?"

"I can as long as they aren't too far apart and there's no interference of a strong scent," said Lorgar with a nod .

"There are nearly 100 people in the hall," said Andrea with an incredulous look . "Even if you do have an acute sense of smell, you can't remember all the odors people are giving off . Besides, many of them are wearing perfumes . They also tend to touch others, like this . " With these words, Andrea touched the back of Ashes' hand with the hand she had just used to eat a chicken drumstick . "I'll also have her odor on me now . Can you still tell us apart?"

"It's difficult . . . but still, I can tell whether a certain individual is present or not . " Lorgar dropped her ears in confusion . "Nobody is moving about, but I notice some scents are on and off . Why is that?"

"Ahem . " Sylvie appeared behind the three witches and said, "You're probably sick . "

"Sylvie?" Andrea raised her brow . "How come you're here?"

"I'm just walking around and overheard your conversation . " She shrugged and looked at the wolf girl . "The weather on the desert in the south is quite different from that in the Western Region . It's easy to catch a cold . Plus, this is your first winter here, so it's normal that you are feeling under the weather . If you feel there's something wrong with your nose, you might as well drink some Lily's Cleansing Water . I was like that too when I first came here . "

"Really?" Lorgar seemed to suddenly understand the reason . "I see . "

Sylvie walked off, feeling a bit relieved .

Because of her ability, Lorgar Burnflame possessed far better hearing and a much more acute sense of smell than ordinary people . As she had an animal intuition, Sylvie needed to watch out for her all the time .

Fortunately, she had successfully prevented her from discovering the secret .

Now, her next target was —

"Coo, coo, coo, coo coo coo coo . . . coo!" Perched on Lightning's head, Maggie was talking to Joan in excitement .

"Ya, ya ya, yaa — ya!" Joan returned as if the two people were discussing a very interesting topic .

"Oh well, whatever . . . " Sylvie clapped her hand over her forehead . Even if they did find out something, they would not understand it .

Likewise, nobody would be able to read something out of their conversation either .

At this thought, Sylvie locked her Eye of Magic on her third target .

This was probably the person who was most likely to discover the secret and also the most difficult one to deal with out of the three .

It was Honey .
