But there was a lack of proof for any of them. Not even the most credible theory had proof from multiple records.
If only those parts had been written down in Alaia's notes as well, but sadly they hadn't. The archaeologist girl even began suspecting that Alaia had hidden the facts on purpose.
And the truth was that Alaia did indeed hide it on purpose. The archaeologist girl suspected that the secret might lie in the 'Bertorion's special territory' and sent in an application to investigate it.
Normally, this application would be rejected. 'Bertorion's special territory' was territory that Alaia had given to Bertorion. Because of the authority that Alaia had given to the Blue Knight, not even royalty could do as they pleased.
But this girl had a chance of success.
Forthorthe would soon celebrate the 2,000th anniversary of Alaia's ascension. To commemorate this, there was a large amount of events regarding the Blue Knight and the Silver Princess planned. If a new discovery could be made, it might serve as the crowning feature of the anniversary.
On top of that, the citizens were terribly excited. Blue and white decorations filled the cities. Several movies were exhibited and a lot of the archaeology girl's results were included in them.
If that celebratory mood was taken advantage of properly, it could be possible to earn the citizens’ understanding. If they did, the parliament might take action as well. The political groundwork for that was being made under the surface.
All that would be needed now was an established fact. If she went on ahead and found something related to the Blue Knight and announced it to the public, she would earn the public's support. If that happened, the public opinion would start leaning towards performing a large-scale investigation.
That's why the archaeology girl had secretly entered 'Bertorion's special territory'. However, what she discovered wasn't anything on just the level of 'something related to the Blue Knight'.
