123. Black Goat

The disciple entered the meeting room and bowed politely to the Leader and the other important people of the Eagle Knight Group.

"We are having an important meeting. If your report is unimportant then be prepared for punishment." Say one of the other elders.

The disciple looked down in fear at the elder's words. "I'm sorry the Chairman and the Teachers ... I don't mean to interrupt your meeting but I think this information I'm carrying will be useful." Obviously scared.

"Then just go straight ... What information do you bring." Alben Benito.

The student nodded. "Every night I went out of the residence to accompany other college brothers to buy snacks. In the middle of the road I permit to go to the restroom and tell my brother-in-law to go first and will meet at the place of agreement. As I finished and continued my journey, I met with Mr. Marquis Gaustark and a few people who were wearing all-black clothes. Maybe because the night Mr. Marquis didn't see the emblem on my clothes. They seemed to be discussing something important, suspicious that I was hiding and looking for a way to steal their hearing. There's not much I've heard but I've heard little of them talking about the existence of evidence in the Palace." Obviously long.

Alben Benito could no longer contain his anger. He even hit the table in front of him very hard because he was too angry to hear his student's explanation.

"What else do you see and hear there?" Alben Benito asked with his red face.

"Not long after hearing that, the people in black clothes left behind Lord Marquis Gaustark and a few others. Feeling that it was important, I finally decided to stay there. Lord Marquis Gaustark and his companions were discussing an important plan that they would carry out next but out of fear of being discovered, I did not dare to be close to them so I did not hear clearly what they were discussing. But they often mention the full moon and mythical animals. After a long time sitting and monitoring them not long the people in black clothes came back and handed them something they wrapped in cloth." Obviously long.

Alben Benito hit the table in front of him very hard. "They had meetings but didn't invite me there." Getting angry.

"I'm getting convinced Chairman ... If they were the ones who made us the scapegoat. I'm sure it was the people in black who infiltrated the Palace and stole the evidence." Jonas.

"It seems that the evidence is very important if you hear the story about the anger of His Majesty the King. Lord Marquis Gaustark dared to send an intruder to the Palace for sure he was in touch with the stolen evidence." Say one of the Elders.

Alben Benito tries to recall the events or plans they previously worked on. "We always move to attack the Crown Princess. We even purposely left behind a trace of the arrow that has the emblem of our group for the Crown Prince and Young Master Zheyan to hesitate. They even came to investigate directly here but we can still behave calmly. This time it's not us who stole the evidence but we who are not calm." Resenting.

Everyone agreed with Alben Benito. "What else do you see and hear?" Ask Bannes.

The student nodded quickly. "It's only a teacher." Said scared.

"Then you go back and do not do any activities." Jonas.

"Good Teacher ... Then excuse me first." Said the disciple while looking down politely and exited the meeting room.

Everyone is focusing on Alben Benito. "Then what steps will we take after this Chairman?" Ask one of the elders.

Alben Benito let out a rough breath. "They have betrayed us. But before making a decision we must make sure whether or not they are doing this. Send someone to go to the residence of Lord Marquis to ask their opinion on the charges against our group! We can deduce something from the answer he will give later, if not the Palace party directly investigating this matter then it would be better for me alone to go there. Our current situation does not allow us to freely enter and exit the residence." Obviously long.

"Then what should we do now chief?" Ask one of the elders.

"We cannot do any other activity outside our residence. For now we can only be in the residence and until this investigation is completed do not let a disciple approach the rear building which will arouse suspicion on the part of the Palace. Inform all residents of our residence to do ordinary activities. If the investigation has been completed, we'll get back to the original routine." Alben Benito is long.

After a long meeting, finally Alben Benito and others disbanded and did as directed by their Chairman so that the Disciples do not perform strange activities that would make the Palace feel suspicious.

In a room large enough to look there are a lot of people who fill the room. They immediately had a meeting after hearing the news that the Palace was investigating the Eagle Knight Group as the perpetrator of theft of evidence in King Thanos' office.

"What should we do Mr Marquis Gaustark? Previously we had lost Mr. Martin in an assault incident against the Crown Princess and now the Eagle Knight Group is being investigated for the theft of the evidence." Said Mr. Frans one of his colleagues.

"The incident that befell Mr. Martin was a very unfortunate coincidence. If we don't sow airborne toxins then we won't know what our next fate will be. Now that the Eagle Knight Group is in trouble, this is not a good thing for us sir." Viscount Wilson.

Marquis Gaustark stroked his forehead slowly. "Why is there an identification tag of the group there? Not just an identification but His Majesty the King got some other evidence. The man we asked to steal the evidence was sure not to leave anything there but why His Majesty the King was able to get the evidence." Herbs.

"Could it be that the Eagle Knight Group heard Gentlemen's discussion with the Crown Princess back then? They were in the same place before the attack. Who knows they're also listening to that and taking the initiative to steal the evidence themselves without telling us." Frans said trying to conclude something.

"It could be so ... They always move quickly whenever there is a bad situation. After our people managed to steal the evidence, they also entered the work room of His Majesty the King and accidentally left a trace there in a hurry to leave the Palace when they were discovered." Viscount Wilson.

Marquis Gaustark sighed softly. "We should have sent him a letter of invitation to the meeting that time. If this is the case then we ourselves are also difficult if His Majesty the King succeeds in knowing our plan." Her speech.

"We didn't invite him because we didn't want them to be suspected by the Crown Prince. Lately, Lord Asgar has been visiting the Eagle Knight Group very often, if not by the order of the Crown Prince then there is no way he would have spent his time and energy to go there." Said one of the other officers.

Marquis Gaustark nodded slowly. "Yes ... Joining them can help a lot. For that we cannot put them in constant danger because we will need the support of them to carry out the task that the Great Lord gave. Their disciples had mostly become Royal Warriors and if the time came then they would be very useful." Her speech.

"Then what should we do now Sir?" Ask Visoun Wilson.

"For a while we should not have any interaction in any case with the Eagle Knight Group to avoid any problems to come. Right now His Majesty the King is investigating the Group in detail, if His Majesty does not obtain any solid evidence against the Group then by itself His Majesty the King will release it." Clearly Marquis Gaustark who was nodded by everyone understood the mark.

Not long ago a bodyguard came to the Marquis of Gaustark to report a person from the Eagle Knight Group coming to face.
