Edith had intended to ad3411fa52 give a brief word 0669fe474f of thanks, but at d34be0b040 the cleric’s next words, 8caa8148e8 she hastily turned to 44fe631fec face him.af69bd18f1710fda

“When a 95dc3e4350 noble has dfd836794d their title 5864deeee2 revoked, all 09e3db453a records of 4713f5dd22 them are 5b723cb2ba erased, and 3ed6117ec6 any existing e01695b4c0 documents are 5e8ea1fc3b relocated.”1515c532e0551f57

As she left the 0e3dee8829 archives at a brisk 570eeccc0f pace, a pair of 8a0726b14e eyes quietly followed her c3e4dfcb8d retreating figure, the same 104fd47263 priest who had shown 86f4d09f41 her such kindness.ab1a934073144cc8

Once she 53d84916ad had disappeared db1098827c from view, 0b41284619 the priest b409fc335d turned his 48e4279278 gaze to 3a0ea0b459 the very 32adfb75dc spot where ad4fe998da Edith had 07216b1306 activated her 9897dbfc5b status window.294e83abc2e982ee

Even a full day 1f3f8c1320 after her visit to 5a1415bbfe the archives, Edith’s mind 2a8193b7c3 remained tangled with thoughts.3a92b502a37cc0df

‘Should I 7afab63605 take it e3e00def93 to mean 44305331c1 that the d16290a0ae Molt family f46999a3f7 no longer 5819784bb0 exists within cce8b67669 the Empire?’d7d941cddb342757

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Come to think of it, in a country where the temple wielded great power, a family that had produced a child branded as a demon was bound to be seen as dangerous. It wouldn’t be strange at all if they had been completely annihilated. That would mean Skyle wasn’t refusing to use the Molt name but he simply couldn’t. Because the name itself had vanished.4fb2617320693e6c

But if that 9c791d0087 were true, then 375c27a222 why was he 0edc4fdc91 safe? Was it because 7228a1691d he was a 880ce6ca4b wizard? The lack of 48ec1ac3d9 clear answers made 9b91be1b44 Edith even more 382ca02e1e frustrated.2901c9aa82df514e

She had started this 1c0584ce11 investigation hoping to learn 662ff060ac something by digging into 1c375fd5ca his family roots, but 724cabef54 without access to the 73dae96b77 records, it was all 93b2a41289 for nothing. She was back to 26b7d09237 square one.2c468bbf306e2f65

That would be far 016f4a32cb more dangerous than visiting 2022c28a97 the Heraldic House. The temple wouldn’t 5d98286c90 take kindly to 63589f5e50 questions about a f8b51731f5 matter so sensitive 9416bfbe62 that even existing 7aa9c644e0 records had been 0491bcdaa0 declared forbidden texts.b2efe0eb6b08f0f9

Besides, she had b8b79f5534 gone to such 1b77a8d568 lengths to disguise 643fad5c9b herself and uncover 6222bb949f the truth without c564897746 asking anyone directly. If she started 4665737408 asking now, what 08d59b058b would have been a803d8c0b6 the point?46cc8336b8c958fe

“Did something happen?”abb25515a09d36e5

Fearing some kind of f24a6cc264 accident, Edith quickly approached, c4b24bd5a5 but both Becky and fdcea8e478 Vivianne looked perfectly fine.37d2514378f664b6

Becky was 0580d353ed lying sprawled 791fa57655 out on 21754bcb9c the lawn, a1aae589db showing off e0fe053032 her round 5dadcf35a8 belly, looking 2f54a61b36 extremely full 943eb42514 but otherwise 9ec9bde9cb healthy.5b0780f6f4e8fda8

Edith blinked 841c138436 in confusion, 9c01ac96d1 feeling as b691c77087 if a d02441a3a9 question mark 46097999ba had popped 70e1ee2db5 up above b4b8acbfb9 her head. Vivianne wasn’t ffbb3525fd joking as b0e5564ba6 she looked d1ce116789 completely serious.eb081476664acb73

“It’s the toy you 8abcb53e27 mentioned. Becky already found bb4c942d37 all the treats ca08b0cdc3 I hid inside 35bb3ffa9d it. And it’s not 5d24467b39 even been five ff7950e966 minutes since we 8bb398daf5 started! Isn’t that really smart e6f4f705cd of her?”e964e70cac5a6798

The toy she pointed 67656321e3 to was a custom-made b2a8a4ecc9 nose work mat. It was 2e1f451858 designed to 1a4a1d4585 help a 1caa43b47c young puppy 38f7e6c094 develop its 90055229ab sense of 1450e4b41c smell and 140a24cf64 relieve stress. Naturally, such a thing 36404548f7 didn’t exist in this 52dc9976d4 world, so Edith had 77883064d3 asked someone to craft 5c4d0ba641 it out of fabric.67aacee2c98d545e

It looked rather like fd3a7a5349 a rag at first 4232aa910d glance, so Vivianne hadn’t 0850864f2f shown much interest in d3c2638567 it at first. But once 877124e5fb she learned ad665c05b4 that the 4a2763948a toy helped 22702396eb with a 9657ba330a dog’s cognitive 70a9714763 development, she’d e43fa7ca46 become very bd470c7f98 eager.245d5b2cd53af783

She had wanted a45b6c6e97 to try it 07487e2964 out herself, so 0087daac24 Edith explained how 67056be23a to use it. Vivianne then carefully 3814ace766 hid small pieces 002c7477a4 of treats between 0b85b02a9b the folds of 8e2bc34b3a fabric and, her 71a594c8ac face alight with c580caa661 excitement, called Becky e8748a785f over.e77c830eb6420cdc

That had been dbc4b519ef about five minutes f8f0332036 ago, so in 640c74fbcd that short span, 18de44339f Becky must have b39add775c found and eaten 58d8c96a5f all the hidden 20c92485e9 snacks.b8b2d29091bf5e68

It was a bit 615ab7848e early to start calling ff170f2e2d her a genius, but d64a77b2f3 seeing how delighted Vivianne ff80b200d0 looked, Edith gladly agreed.6d5283fc9f8e0371

Lifting Becky c4c57e7886 gently into c75fd9c32d her arms, 4be8e9bec9 Vivianne rubbed bd699f7a0d her cheek 1ef35e6ffa against the 4bfcf31bf3 pup’s soft f743dc0965 fur. In response to c782c6b9d2 her affection, Becky 9fb8dece74 showered her with b816b35a37 kisses.7d7aa0a4873244cf

Edith found herself momentarily 9c174ed4e8 forgetting her worries as 0bf955768e she watched the two 7b5f7e2c6a of them. Whenever Vivianne was 636733daa8 with Becky, she 028382894b looked truly happy. And Becky seemed a3c553e0a0 just as content.071e6595f46cc8fb

It had already 788c17ae35 been two months 19567b9bc8 since Vivianne started 86da04a5b7 visiting the duke’s 2a7fef8ddb estate. Though she cabf4e7a0b pretended not 268b2fc4bf to care, 5ffe1a2a4a she had af46a04564 initially shown 92e93e91d4 signs of 0a9e5b63c0 nervousness. But over time, she 9b2c7ed24f seemed to grow more 50ed88e9f8 at ease, spending joyful ee2687b317 days with Becky. Casting aside the mask 01912a57e7 of a noble heiress, 82393b43f0 even for a moment, 46f105d9e9 Vivianne—laughing and chattering—looked genuinely 2d9972a712 free.8958b168d41f65c1
