Chapter 121: 121: Discoveries
Lysander spent his time stroking the cat and "playing" with it, while Eden was busy going through the files.
Soon, he turned to Lysander "You should help me out with some search" it was his way of helping Lenny get free from him so the cat could also help out.
Lysander looked up at him "And what’s it that you’re looking for?" He stood up.
Eden looked around "I’m looking for some information on The Grand Duchy. I want to have some study about it" Lysander wasn’t one to get all suspicious "So help me look for it over there"
Lysander nodded "Okay. I’ll go look for anything I can find on it"
He was soon gone and Lenny jumped up to the shelf where Eden was looking through. "I don’t want to be with him again. He should let go of my fur!"
Eden smiled "Come on, don’t be dramatic. He’s just a darling"
"Then why don’t you try being the cat" Lenny said. He is one who doesn’t enjoy skinships at all.
Eden smiled "Forget about it, let’s begin searching. We should be able to get something before today runs out at least. Something important"
And so they began searching.
Eden was going through sections of the library looking for any information on the Grand Duchy of Enor.
Lenny was also of help, jumping from one to shelf to another while also looking.
And as Lenny speculated, they found the other years.
They found books on the Grand Duchy of Enor from the years that seemed to be removed from the main library.
They were all there.
"So it means they might actually hold something inside that they don’t want anyone to see" Eden speculated.
Lenny nodded "Probably. Let’s start going through them. Maybe we’ll see something interesting"
They gathered books containing information about The Grand Duchy of Enor. And Eden had taken a sea at the spot.
He placed the book right in front of him and began scanning through it with Lenny sitting on the table besides the book, also going through another.
Lysander held with books. He brought books with Information on the Grand Duchy of Enor. And Eden and Lenny went through them.
It wasn’t an easy task. Soon, Lysander was already asleep at the side. And Eden and Lenny were fighting every spirit of tiredness to make sure they went through everything there.

Before evening, they had gone through a good number of books. And the most they went through didn’t seem to present the information they needed.
It mainly presented political duties and ordinary deals carried out between The Grand Duchy and The Royal Palace.
There was nothing suspicious about it. And Eden was beginning to lose hope.
"Why did they even hide it off here when there’s nothing suspicious about it at all?" Eden thought.
They read through most of the books - not all. And they even skipped some details in them that they didn’t find important.
Soon, it was evening and Eden had to leave. Still with no clear information that would help save his life.
The only thing he had achieved on that day was going through books on the Grand duchy and still didn’t find anything worthwhile.
It was rather disappointing.
*******
But they still continued the next day.
Lysander had brought Eden there and left. He said that he had some royal training set-up by his mum he needed to attend.
So he let Eden do the searching. And he gladly did.
"Why isn’t there something worth looking into at all?" Eden asked, exhausted after spending another hour or two going through the books
"I don’t know. Which is strange. Because why does the records look all ordinary. If the previous Grand Duke and Duchess, Leo’s parents, were murdered, it should have been mentioned" Lenny suggested.
"But nothing like that. It only said they died a natural death?" Eden sighed.
"And the transitions of these records are just so smooth.. it’s just not possible to have any suspicions" Lenny added.
Eden sighed heavily "Gosh, I wish I had my powers. At least I would have done something with it. Something that’d quicken the process"
Lenny had his paws on the book on the table. Reluctantly running his hands through the book while seeing if he could read out something.
"And why does this name keep popping up in almost every record of the Grand Duchy of Enor.." Lenny said "Levrick....?"
"What’s that even supposed to be?" Lenny muttered.
"I also kept seeing that" Eden added "Is that a name of place or something? Haven’t heard of it. But it kept popping up in the records"
Lenny paused, staring at the name "It’s the name of a place. Obviously"
"I don’t remember seeing anything like that name when I was searching through books in the main library. So why is it here...?"
Lenny scrolled through the books "I have a feeling that the name wasn’t mentioned in the records of Enor the year after the death of Leo’s parents.."
"Is that so?" Eden asked.
They began going through books that were present there that recorded the few years after the death of Leo’s parents.
And it was just as they suspected.
"So.. the last time it was mentioned. Was a year before the death of Leo’s parents.." Eden confirmed "But why?"
Lenny sighed as he stared through the page before him "I have a feeling this name holds an answer to our question"
"I also think so. Maybe we’ve not been looking through the main sources yet.." Eden speculated.
Eden thought for a while and stated "Now I see. Based on the mentions it had in this record of this grand duchy, it’s worth mentioning that this place appeared really close in friendship with the Grand Duchy"
Lenny nodded "I also noticed. It’s like the two places are close. Or rather.. the two rulers are close"
"Let’s see if we can find something..." Eden suggested.
At that moment they knew finding information relating to this place held solutions they needed. And so they started looking.
