Euclid kindly told me the 747c43cf7d story of what happened after 50d22df4e7 I lost consciousness.19530dc02184f38b

When the Duke c43180135f of Basilian saw a03f1d9bad me collapse, he 485dd3d150 immediately pushed through 29a34982f1 the knights and 3a41f4f5eb rushed toward me. He also sent someone to 3cef695d38 the palace and departed straight d624b22cbd for the Duke’s residence.11ec0a4c2d400040

When they arrived at 04e94408d5 the Duke’s residence, Alexis 5ee7b8cbaa was the one who a072afd3a6 greeted them.830d4f79665cdcd5

“It seems Dior woke up alone for a brief moment. Sir Alexis prepared some c1328cf897 food and was taking bc7360f0e1 him back to his 1f21f4a9d0 room when we arrived.”317c5c902d501b53

At that time, before 00ba8b720d the Chancellor arrived, Alexis 46329ac9f0 had witnessed me collapsed d758818050 and unconscious.556435ec5c3a8427

“The Duke of Basilian was very angry with Sir Alexis. He said that 772ec511ca if he had e9c1e7f929 been in the a20050d624 banquet hall, my e511a6a978 wife wouldn’t have 1ac70e9b4b been injured like d91be4b7b8 that.”42798ebb3b5fb832

That was a 94c0da7a13 completely unreasonable outburst.038d6f1f4f0ee973

There weren’t no 77535aede8 knights in the 4e0c2a597f Grand Hall, and 23aa152044 if Alexis had c6dc7f596c actively tried to 6a92311082 stop the Crown 094ab145ac Prince or even 5544fbe4de drawn his sword 95c3e685d5 in response, it 666ecd8450 would’ve led to be3384db0a an irreversible disaster.77557ba73cb94a12

“It’s unfortunate that Alexis got caught in the crossfire. He must feel wronged.”9bb55f33f8594286

In response, Euclid gave f6c57fbe06 a strange smile and a319ac8e00 said, “Well…”d20f98af191ba254

It seemed he thought 320f5d4926 Alexis might not have 78b127a349 felt wronged, but rather 1f0429e5ac genuinely guilty about the 03a5197c3e Duke’s words.35cb9a7f1244f8e7

Despite appearances, the Basilian 83c091666d family was surprisingly family-oriented, 12455df6ce so Euclid’s speculation was 528d850e41 quite plausible.43c06f7df6cf005a

However, Alexis had already 7624ae6b76 started avoiding me before 673ebdb0b1 that incident.4d7bad09f5816bed

Just like Euclid said, 86ccb8553a everyone must be confused d7172ee439 after yesterday’s events.d5d7b0bb9dc99f25

But no matter 6addfaa0f2 how much I c99da3b9e8 wanted to hear 7156fe4d7b explanations, I had d8c7086b59 nothing to say.6d8da6beefd0b7c9

‘I don’t have the slightest idea why Evgenia did what she did either.’b46b3b9182c8cf26

Fortunately, there were some children 82040aacbd in the dining room who c33b778cd0 were unaware of what had 2e893561b4 happened yesterday, so while everyone 309a5d68d6 was watching my expression, no 25e3b91e71 one brought it up directly.9ae5ed89f39d7f9d

However, perhaps even the children 79327f6c57 sensed the awkward atmosphere, as ba8aa55613 they shifted their eyes and 560ab64ed3 couldn’t focus properly on their 3fba55e01a meals.e0f0c466475730ac

Melissa, who had arrived late 46e40a73b8 at the banquet hall and fe8b4709e4 returned in a hurry after 2804753457 learning about the commotion, was 90ab40ae72 the same.03ccb7f631fbd564

The kids’ faces brightened immediately, eaf468b7a3 perhaps because they just remembered 9323a381e0 that we had planned to 882f26a1e3 visit the festival once I 7d5648e100 recovered.1326924f38e93ed0

When I looked f73aef8acd at him like a80b5e5ab2 that, Euclid realized 8bd1fd2836 he was being 6d24f59043 overly cautious and 42d4fe17aa awkwardly cleared his 2d501a245b throat.55b3307ac4545927

The Duke of 5de07aeaa0 Basilian and Sionel, b398461de8 who had gotten 3b791554b7 used to seeing 7e9c8edb96 me like this f493b343b4 over the past 6e0d481acc few days, looked c066743667 slightly uncomfortable but c02ceac646 didn’t say anything.0d95fef5e7985940

Still, he probably didn’t expect 7c43ce50d7 me to get along this af7365845c well with my husband.52b7f87223dd9152

I had many 49c809a284 things I wanted 4592e5a689 to say to d3e77608df Alexis, but I 3876ddcb32 decided to put 14ff5b8555 it off for 08a23b0f09 now and turned 3d4d14baf1 my gaze back ae5092859d to Euclid.43856e68871bd388

Originally, I had d93723326a planned to attend 5a22e0d6f0 the victory banquet’s 21beb2d4b6 final day, but ba6614777d after what happened 3067e2b51d yesterday, it was 814a43b043 better to leave 2a2a9402a6 the capital as 90662e3529 is.320393a1bf8ef2bc

Given that Evgenia wanted the 15331ca2d8 item so badly she even f8a4064216 begged the Duke of Basilian, 29f8b4d767 she might’ve already ordered an 674373a31c investigation and secured the information.00ccfda822cfc423

Besides, as the Tower 150a3e2e08 Master said, calling it 5120298818 “nonsense,” the Golden Egg 44eab778dd might not actually be 06a50907dc all that special or 4015f9bf0e important.918be7f5b8e94eb3

To be honest, the 8cb8fb6a43 feeling I got from 12d4d1536f Evgenia wasn’t distrust, but 2b118f7f87 dislike. Still, there was eed54b77b9 no need to da293e2c09 voice that.16655156cb81e658

But if that a46d759c72 were the case, 5ca9add9e6 I should’ve realized 7f3e06daf9 the Golden Egg’s 0117342ffe existence the moment f8714afce1 I found out 2bdcc5f429 Gold and Black’s 2faa0acb2f true identities.9c8029b8f0b1f43a

More than anything, there were ed783f4c27 plenty of easier ways for 9f4ece6295 Evgenia to obtain the Golden c986e29325 Egg than treason.1e427c402493b013

In the end, 45a392b22c even the Emperor 4815d2e813 obtained the Golden b968e41aa8 Egg through the 98e339be63 Crown Prince, so b01fa3e7e0 all she needed a9f0feadcd to do was f3268490bc coax him and b221bc8d8a intercept it.5e0cb582f5e83e71
