"Hmm," the man wearing a long white gown and had a religious bearing looked at her with utter seriousness after she told him her what she wanted to consult. "Lady Osbon, are you really telling me that somebody told you he is from another world?

The spoilers on the forums about Marian's story, 'Kingdoms and Angels', included quite a lot of things. For example, the ones who gave the magical item to the murderer was somebody from the royal family. This meant that somebody from the royal family of Borley Kingdom was actually the final boss.

An ordinary weekday dawned. It was Monday. The rays of the sun could barely sneak into a large but simply decorated bedroom in the penthouse due to the flowery curtains.
