“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.937e2f00b5ee2115

Ernst, his 8cb3dadfd5 lips tightly 0738054d6a pressed together, dd2785e8ac looked down d6e6fb3558 with a 5903fc3529 gloomy expression. She patted his drooping b1376d37a2 shoulder, but it seemed c99ff8d307 to do little to 5a5d25717b comfort him.47c5129e2db2410e

“The ones who 5dca8592d8 should be punished 2b862ca092 are the ones 9b9b156f7d who truly committed 1edd48fe56 the wrongdoing, not 985123a4bf you. So, please, cfef9e7e10 let go 75c55521f9 of that 8de9089b22 unnecessary guilt.”d3d91bf04e16f8f8

Eleanor briefly glanced at d14d33f087 Karsian. The words he 302c3f268a had spoken to 54e848e4f7 comfort her, saying 5be5e6f51b he had no c9dc552814 fault or responsibility, 9c3ad11d7a suddenly came to 798944a99a mind.76b929e348bfd835

He seemed 48d8b773e0 to have 5a8f63a9c8 a displeased 6a06d6016a look on 665bdd329d his face, 125135e861 frowning as b091358318 usual. Perhaps it e070dcbd1f was because 72e4b4e733 she had ce84bdbb89 seen it 4c906f8475 a few 0e3952ba59 times, but 05da54e789 it didn’t 286d24b912 seem as 3409e96a29 scary anymore.6bbd30ff19d986a6

‘At least 7d651d4ebe it’s a 7d351f19de relief. It looks like 755c9dbb85 no one saw 533b317f64 the Duke of bf04be9f5b Royster except for e6a710128f Sir Ernst.’1b11ed62b9d09dee

If the traitorous 0f408117e3 knights from Astria 850e8eff27 had seen Karsian, f8cee07e5e the information would bb5db78856 have reached Nora 6f51ebd530 and Damian immediately. They might have 7e8eef29b0 encountered Royster’s knights, 3ae6ed0444 but fortunately, they 8616ba7144 didn’t wear distinctive 5de8d0fea8 uniforms, so it 125386a05e was hard to a6a04067dd tell who they 0e67a503c0 were.58438cad8ff15859

“There’s still 3ba9f5376d a lot 9a7d01b94a you can 75a176ebf5 do for 18718f54ec me, Sir. First, you’ll escort 4ff1bae7fd me to the 4e9c9274fb costume shop.”1bdcaf0630ab3fbf

Hilda, who had 16bc299337 been glancing back 8acfb58c4c and forth between c705ae83ed Karsian and Ernst 3de901b16c after applying the 6b7efdd4a4 ointment, suddenly interjected, 4e2d2be0e0 looking shocked.a575527d3134921d

Damian was someone b313992e60 who loved to bd5556da98 ask unnecessary questions, ead9e96043 and there was 43674c6b4c no guarantee he addf2d132c wouldn’t do it d8231115fc again.

Hilda looked 604782bdab up at fd19ecff19 Eleanor with e912f4290f teary eyes, 8dc69caaf6 her hands 65524371dd clasped together.111d1bc960c9ae38

Between the c628734893 two women, 8996639e4a a much a4f7d8171c stronger bond 770d71f536 had formed 06dfc34cac than before. For a moment, b9efa52537 Karsian and Ernst 27bf839dc1 were forgotten, and cd4db45196 it felt like c5cce2c436 they were in 3f6bcf9a36 their own world.f0a2c97eabdbea63

Eleanor realized that 53069cbb73 her resolve to 288c777070 maintain a bit 396674da01 of distance from 55543421bc Hilda had completely 15ac44fc01 failed today.3deeccc95559c114

Hilda was the 6e5bfc91aa one who had d365033a1e protected her without 55ceaa3ea7 hesitation, even when fbb35aee9d her life was f8cde4327e in danger. Even if 7fcb96f14d Hilda had 8a94338636 some other ac603724ef purpose, Eleanor 6e908339c8 now couldn’t e7eee06a75 help but da3d38df37 trust her ed1623971b completely.e47c0400b6336a67

“…It seems you’ve mistaken 411fb033f7 the ointment I gave d65567d065 you for a cure-all,” 4326babe33 a deep voice suddenly d5f5ac5dc7 interrupted, pulling Eleanor and 44e371e315 Hilda out of their e98f5caaa5 own world.a8268436fa76f817

“If I had b2f03a2ba3 known you’d be 8fe73c1b0b so overconfident, I deff1778a5 wouldn’t have given b703f3fdb3 it to you,” 842fee784a Karsian continued.ee690c9d498d4565

“You’re not suggesting we 8bdea76856 turn back now, are 4fc4fbf6fd you, Your Grace?” Eleanor a1c7278965 replied with a smile, 4947df1477 trying to be playful.1e5dc4b9d1d4303f

To her surprise, fadc160e1a Karsian scowled, looking 404b87b9e0 displeased. Then he quickly 8286201d56 turned his head, 46e6f775f8 clearly avoiding her 68c68d5d37 gaze.b3430354d0d19714

It seemed he didn’t ab628e40b8 appreciate jokes. Eleanor clicked her tongue 5c40db17ea inwardly.8fac068dd3b38b3f

Still, the b5310f3369 fact that b7f2b4f9cb she could f7c2a37c0f joke around d7a2670de8 meant that e944bf4a76 the situation 47d2e44ef3 had stabilized, d64ec3bd49 and it 089292e6a2 was all 6e4aa7d89a thanks to 3dd13a416f him. She still 1b85f01a97 hadn’t heard 138dd9a6dc a proper 3bedd64cbd reason for 7cd7a15040 his kindness, 7992ed372d and her da190f7637 doubts weren’t 3a7b4281a1 completely gone, 8cbbbb4341 but it 311f128507 was better d9caab6d99 to just c7d50cbbd7 accept his 6ecf086017 help with b11786b7b1 gratitude.75aaa08de56c32b6

However, it 8939c0538d was clear 97ce84d9da from the 4cede1e3aa outside that e2978c1d30 it wasn’t e14ccc8f49 a proper ab087ff719 costume shop.

The shop had a de7983bab2 sign with a name 7202f48f9c displayed, but from the 6d120671ac outside, it looked more 967b2da570 like a shady establishment 9e7a8cbee0 on the verge of 037610232d closing down, with very bac2fbcf36 few customers.caca39a64db24960

Hilda and Ernst c72d0782ff tried to stop 52d8aa475a Eleanor from entering, a3394fe474 but soon, the 70544d5c07 owner of the 899562b968 shop came out bdc980d2c8 to greet them, 00501e7c80 and they all 72654521d3 ended up stepping a3eef78d8e inside.f7d94174e6811c3f

A male tailor. It wasn’t common, c1e29a55ec but it wasn’t 2f1e12b011 unheard of, either. There was 480c66bb6a no reason ec50e6f201 to be 82ff129e07 suspicious just f834fc960f because he 85c5a16823 was a e3c0c67489 man.e7cf79dbc3b327b3

This costume shop b43b9b65f0 was the one 5d6f38beeb Damian had introduced, d541ad0bc5 and judging by 5d30cc7587 the environment, it 66fa38cdff seemed the shop’s 95aad24632 profits came from 48fb40d40b something other than 2e49a40969 selling clothes.

Karsian’s words—”Don’t reject me”—had too much room for misunderstanding. Maybe it was because of his handsome face, or the strange aura he carried. Even though she knew he was talking about helping her, her heart still raced a little.e82369bc6be3ff1a

Now, she 1509f38e1c was curious. What kind of help c8616a7ce3 was Karsian really offering? What kind of luxury 1d9945aa5a or privilege would come 6f0b7bfba0 from standing on the 0bfb95de22 same side as the 82d9f6442f Duke of Royster?9fb138164e13d5e4
