Euclid kindly told me the 60b174628c story of what happened after 621f202012 I lost consciousness.9a79045ccca2ca7f

When the Duke a6834a100b of Basilian saw d79fe2cf03 me collapse, he 478df9efce immediately pushed through 0a5d3bc58f the knights and 5029cd994a rushed toward me. He also sent someone 4e02aca0ac to the palace and 5548f24d40 departed straight for the 3956674836 Duke’s residence.624dc7d6e07522fe

When they arrived b19642e5d0 at the Duke’s e03c3b09da residence, Alexis was cde22441e8 the one who dc42f5b4e5 greeted them.9ae82e60029413d2

“It seems Dior woke up alone for a brief moment. Sir Alexis prepared some food cfba6ba55d and was taking him back 38392c7bfd to his room when we c21fca70ff arrived.”7a881b054bdcf05d

At that time, before 3a411de0ab the Chancellor arrived, Alexis 36c787a959 had witnessed me collapsed fd95bed8f8 and unconscious.3e57d362ebb90773

“The Duke of Basilian was very angry with Sir Alexis. He said that if dc311b77b8 he had been in 45f653601b the banquet hall, my 9ed58432b1 wife wouldn’t have been 6ddd784192 injured like that.”d3089d97370f8a01

That was a completely unreasonable a57dec44c0 outburst.1fbe640db37e1587

There weren’t no fb3bdb255b knights in the 8616a74182 Grand Hall, and 21ef227e69 if Alexis had 4231f24ef2 actively tried to efccd14b7c stop the Crown 638917c108 Prince or even 7a121272b9 drawn his sword 25ccc8b230 in response, it ef58fe4414 would’ve led to a43c83e6d4 an irreversible disaster.9bf049ce434bf904

“It’s unfortunate that Alexis got caught in the crossfire. He must feel wronged.”85d536ae89e0413b

It seemed he thought f4bb260b11 Alexis might not have 29eb6b95ea felt wronged, but rather 99e4e7f73e genuinely guilty about the cffd810c27 Duke’s words.ac88bcb91f9eab58

Despite appearances, the Basilian b24e86eec2 family was surprisingly family-oriented, bc11993d89 so Euclid’s speculation was 6a79d1c80c quite plausible.78e0e145e719ba50

However, Alexis had already started 8fbef71d32 avoiding me before that incident.5ca439f2a26b3351

Even if it f0b1e1ec1c was for another 5dbd640317 reason, it might 1549fb3859 not have been 67af6a6251 out of guilt.f301c1ed173bed82

Just like Euclid c9b1c11165 said, everyone must 7f4d098c3d be confused after 1e0865e6f5 yesterday’s events.8201ea04e5ccf810

But no matter d210cace3d how much I 7a899a4af2 wanted to hear f37c78d8ef explanations, I had 3a54fd201d nothing to say.1d04e6a60f7460c4

‘I don’t have the slightest idea why Evgenia did what she did either.’146cfda305a4a8af

What exactly was she 1867b2592d hoping to gain from 85c8c89ed9 the Crown Prince that 17f301151a she deceived everyone and fd7599b94a played a role?e4d7f59ba6e27a61

Fortunately, there were some 27449a3876 children in the dining 0e8a2c1c1e room who were unaware dc36306d6b of what had happened d41bbd9c27 yesterday, so while everyone e87aa36a29 was watching my expression, 501df807ee no one brought it 554e89811a up directly.99480db0cd279201

However, perhaps even the children ed7bab1438 sensed the awkward atmosphere, as 71ad1e34b8 they shifted their eyes and 9d12da4eb7 couldn’t focus properly on their 39c101303f meals.a1e09b19242f25f4

Melissa, who had arrived 223b724f1a late at the banquet 5d8dd58623 hall and returned in e846cab930 a hurry after learning 7730a6f828 about the commotion, was db2d26e601 the same.5643315f18b68795

Given that Evgenia wanted 9dbce90a12 the item so badly c8fba7b146 she even begged the 98968ef2ae Duke of Basilian, she 828688699c might’ve already ordered an 616930ba51 investigation and secured the 4cfaeb1e70 information.ab44c7ecbdb49fa7

Besides, as the Tower Master 4ffa888a4e said, calling it “nonsense,” the 1d9493b865 Golden Egg might not actually f6fafc4a4f be all that special or d5f9ebfce9 important.af4fdb9114fbb587

To be honest, the 2b367c2dfd feeling I got from 605f2c43d7 Evgenia wasn’t distrust, but c60735a3c9 dislike. Still, there was no 87932c3552 need to voice that.ab3eb55eba3ec687

In the end, c5cef1c028 even the Emperor 86a9d17ad1 obtained the Golden 6924ada38a Egg through the 0f07ae9107 Crown Prince, so 4cadaefb24 all she needed aead0b7789 to do was 7a99f885ee coax him and 8dc79df730 intercept it.59e096159b81a2fe
