In front of the shadow was the back of a man clad in red, who stood and admired a painting hanging on the wall. The painting was depicting a beautiful lady dancing on a green meadow, surrounded by different kinds of red flowers.
"Reporting for duty." A calm and monotone voice filled the room.
"It took you long time enough." The man said without moving an inch.
"I apologize, my Lord. I was delayed by an unforseen incident."
"Oh? What happened, Shadow One?" The Lord reached out with his hand to feel the contours of the painted woman.
"A feral beast appeared in the vicinity of the Land of Ashes and disturbed the locals. Before I managed to stop it, it had killed five residents and wounded twelve." Shadow One explained.
"Yet another attack?" The man in red turned around in surprise.
"Yes, my Lord."
"Seems like I have to make a trip to the Beast Realm soon." The Lord stroked his chin in contemplation, before he continued.
"Have you got any leads yet?"
Shadow One knew of the case's importance but couldn't help but disappoint his master.
"Unfortunately no, my Lord. It happened too long time ago, so any clue about the incident has already turned cold."
Hearing this, the Lord sighed. He knew that it was a tough nut to crack and with the personality of Shadow One, he knew that his subordinate must have tried its best.
"Maybe it's the will of fate."
The room was filled with silence as he recalled the past. If only he had been more observant it wouldn't have happened and she wouldn't have died. Now, he would never be able to see her dance and sing in joy anymore.
"I have got another task for you. The Fire Clan's heir was framed during the Celestial Emperor's birthday for having damaged his wine cup and was almost sentenced to death because of it. Investigate everything thoroughgoingly and find the culprit behind the scheme. G.o.d of Spring seems to be apart of it, so you can start from him."
"Yes, my Lord. Your subordinate will certainly find the truth."
"You might leave."
With that said, Shadow One departed from the mansion.
