"Alright." Xaria pointed at the stairs. "He's in the bedroom on the second floor. Follow me." Upon finishing her sentence, she gracefully walked toward the stairs, which it was designed with magnificent decorations.
When they arrived on the second floor, Kingsley instinctively scanned his surroundings and realized the place had a luxurious-looking appearance but was rather desolate and empty. It looks like there hasn't been anyone who has lived here for a while.
"Miss Heart, you don't seem to live here often, do you?" Kingsley asked probingly.
"Yeah, you're right," Xaria replied calmly. "As you know, I'm the hotel manager of Jadeland Heights, which is located somewhere far from the city. I can't be traveling over hundreds of miles every day just to come back here, can I? Therefore, I often stay in the staff quarters in the mansion and only come back for a few days during holidays." Xaria was walking in front of Kingsley, failing to notice his reaction, but when she turned around, she happened to notice the glacial faint smile on Kingsley's face.
Come on! Did you just say you often stayed in the staff quarters? Like hell, I'm going to buy that story! This house must be some kind of base for the Empire of the Setting Sun, although it doesn't seem to be frequently used. Aria’s place of residence must be somewhere else.
At the thought of that, Kingsley was reminded of the eerie-looking doll that he saw downstairs as he believed there was more than met the eye about that thing. Deep down, he didn't believe Xaria would place something that could potentially give away her identity like that in an open area such as the living room. While Kingsley was absorbed in his train of thought, he found himself led by Xaria to the bedroom at the furthest end of the floor.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Xaria knocked on the door three times before opening it. "I brought you a doctor, Mr. Renner."
Mr. Renner? Kingsley's heart skipped a beat. Does Stork have any friends or relatives in Qustia?
As soon as Kingsley stepped into the room, his questions were immediately answered. It turned out that Boris was sitting at the desk where he was reading a book with a pair of glasses on.
