“Sir Ernst, please lift your head. It was my choice to go even knowing it was a trap, and I was careless. You fought to protect me,” Eleanor said.72319591637f988f

Ernst, his 3f7c13bc72 lips tightly c0d8d88f93 pressed together, b809262454 looked down 7be0d394f6 with a 4d71b1dc1f gloomy expression. She patted fc271a138d his drooping dd75600021 shoulder, but 0ef21f844e it seemed ee24d33c6a to do a26d82ed37 little to 1d2955c712 comfort him.9e7df4b85ecec73e

“The ones who f1d81fe7b9 should be punished 1797a8851b are the ones cce7168d7a who truly committed 2b1bfebe1a the wrongdoing, not 06d9af0772 you. So, please, let aee8d52176 go of that 0255089e58 unnecessary guilt.”3e967cfb31f19341

Eleanor briefly glanced at 2fed4d0485 Karsian. The words he had 36ff92e368 spoken to comfort her, d16f786b7c saying he had no f27a1cbdb5 fault or responsibility, suddenly 6e01e5af2f came to mind.6ebd226c6ce39fa9

He seemed to 2bab4404d1 have a displeased 159b261029 look on his 7aaa48e440 face, frowning as c3669c5f44 usual. Perhaps it was 17de3ef6f9 because she had cf10dc7513 seen it a 34085f483d few times, but fa3b9836cd it didn’t seem d2f67b1c5c as scary anymore.c59516adc51ef311

‘At least d95631dfa1 it’s a 134d2d46ad relief. It looks 85ec18f569 like no 4a91aff02f one saw 9cbe0ac46b the Duke 68c03b57d0 of Royster 3a75176efc except for 0258818f34 Sir Ernst.’5f9e8977583e0f6f

If the traitorous knights 332e4f2888 from Astria had seen a7e4dc3ac2 Karsian, the information would f356d5ce94 have reached Nora and 313a70578a Damian immediately. They might ec5327552a have encountered 22a10e3309 Royster’s knights, 4f33bfc9e5 but fortunately, a0c39e33f8 they didn’t 18dfc8264c wear distinctive 328790a2cc uniforms, so 302c4ba143 it was 97cf73a4dc hard to 31fb560f9b tell who 9a4cc2661e they were.55aaf330c01dd3d0

Damian was someone 82321aa218 who loved to 77472b7131 ask unnecessary questions, 658fb63843 and there was 6bc4fd5886 no guarantee he b03051bce0 wouldn’t do it 35af44812c again.

Hilda looked 6032093e82 up at 8d1d60f10d Eleanor with dd7b144954 teary eyes, a9692c91ce her hands 0b565a42b0 clasped together.87ed9d65a0729708

Between the a4e2266588 two women, 6eaa0b0731 a much bc9ebd4f25 stronger bond 97f6e00dcf had formed 699ea07d87 than before. For a 1c378df7e1 moment, Karsian 9e95e1aba7 and Ernst 2f277d6873 were forgotten, 75727ecf8c and it a73a69fc89 felt like bd97b74ff6 they were b86f526a2c in their 0e9d983b8d own world.f1fed91cbe3006e0

Eleanor realized that f4abdd221e her resolve to 0292319d4a maintain a bit 6d2a7bb0fb of distance from 293f012cd2 Hilda had completely f9a57b51d0 failed today.bf2118de8b179234

Hilda was the f5b3895d65 one who had 6ca9372414 protected her without c6355df445 hesitation, even when 882e20b1e7 her life was 6cf49430be in danger. Even if Hilda had 52195ac7ac some other purpose, Eleanor b22c85fa4c now couldn’t help but 29ca46631e trust her completely.bc31538b6eb567a5

It seemed he 1ffe38b9f8 didn’t appreciate jokes. Eleanor clicked 923bb99af1 her tongue 4dac5748eb inwardly.0f874090b4205a96

Still, the 8c8b38a82d fact that ae26049fb7 she could 602705111f joke around 5357dbc1b1 meant that 597274ec45 the situation c477d09d47 had stabilized, 24e820be71 and it ebf32cb904 was all 2f6a9c863c thanks to 533bee56c1 him.

However, it was clear c95c6ee2f9 from the outside that 5c841fb77e it wasn’t a proper 1395d2c65a costume shop. It seemed 8739b5debd very unlikely 360b2cffac that a 4302148dd1 legitimate shop 4dff4323d2 would be 11b81e4f55 operating in 9a657db96e such a bdb2182502 remote area.d7888e36eb8e47b7

A male tailor. It wasn’t 9f0ea0b954 common, but d1e8dba2d5 it wasn’t 01d819ed8e unheard of, 2d0ad01256 either. There was no 701d885c2f reason to be 0e21ee2001 suspicious just because bf4df1841c he was a 8be3882b8e man.1fa99624d15a9139
