Chapter 74 - Finding Out The Truth

This seems a little off, I know that I have not known Vicar mother yet but when Vicar brought me home that time and he thought to sell me. His mother didn't allow it and told Vicar to search for my owner eventhough Vicar want to sell it for her medicine.

I didn't think that Vicar mother would steal the jewellery as she seems to be a nice and a honest person. There must be more to this story and the only way to know what has really happen is to ask Vicar mother directly.

"Owh... It's just that..."

"I know that it's hard to believe but that how people are, they seems nice but they aren't." Sir Allen said as he put his hand on Aliss shoulder and ask Aliss why suddenly she asked about this matter.

"It's just that I had seen Vicar, the son of our former maid in the outer slums while distrubuting the knight rewards."

Upon hearing that, I could saw that Sir Allen face was in suprised but I don't know whether Aliss realized it or not. "Is that so... well that's how a thief ends up, let us not talk about this matter again as they're no good in remembering it." He then continue reading his book.

Aliss then left the room and I asked her whether she believe her father word or not. She said that to me that it may be true as his father never lied to her once.

"Really? Didn't you see your father face when you say the name Vicar... he seems to be suprised by it."

"No...but isn't it normal to be a little suprise, he didn't expect Vicar to be at the slums."

What Aliss said might have a point there but it just feels wrong to me without hearing the other side of this stories. I suggest to Aliss that we must hear the other part of it by seeing Vicar mother.

"What! Do you know where they live..." Aliss was shocked knowing that I know the location of Vicar place.

"I did tell you that Vicar picked me up and brought me to his mother, didn't I?" I did told her about this matter in the morning if I was not mistaken.

"I think you did mention that but I kinda forgot about it... hehe sorry but I didn't think that my father would allow it." Aliss says.

"Of course he would not allow it, that's why we're going without your father knowledge... don't worry I will be there with you." That was the only way to know about Sir Allen whether he telling the truth or not.

"I'm not sure about this..." Aliss hesitated.

I know why my owner hesitate as it's pretty dangerous to go there without protection, anything could happen there. Eventhough I'm with here, I can't do anything as I was just a ring with a system. But again, I need to know the rest of the stories.

I tried to convince Aliss that it would be fine as long as she didn't dress like a noble usually does. Cause it may attract the slums people attention. "Don't worry... there nothing to worry about..."

Aliss then agreed with my request as she also told me that she wanted to see Vicar again. Even if his mother did stole the jewelery, Vicar has done nothing wrong as he was still a young boy and have the same age with Aliss.

"We will go tommorow morning...but we need to kept it as a secret between us."

"Okay, you will know if I break my promise because you always with me..." Aliss smile. I then realized that I always stuck with Aliss but not everytime, the only time she take me off was when my owner take a bath.

We both then agreed that tommorow morning we will go to the slums and search for Vicar and his mother. Aliss then head up to her room to find some dress that suit the scenery of the slums.

While we headed to Aliss room, I think about the story that Aliss father told. I just hope that it was not true as I can't seems to see Vicar mother as a thief.
