“Alright. Just get up for now.” She spoke shakily and Caelion looked up at her.”You’ve done enough to show that your love and my love are different. I will never give up all my pride in front of others to save the person I am interested in.”
She said. For Evangeline, love was ownership and not sacrifice.
“Can you find her?”
“I can’t find her exact location right now. I told you earlier.” She spoke impatiently and emotionally. Then, he got up from her seat.
“Wait here for a moment.” Evangeline left the room as if someone had kicked her out. She still had a slightly crumpled look on her face as her voice trembled a bit.“I’ll ask them which way she went.”
Caelion slowly rose from his seat to sit on the sofa.
“Give me a few hours. I have to wait a few hours to find out their exact location.” 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂
Caelion’s confrontation with her felt victorious but no one in the room seemed happy. Even at this moment, Apollonia was in danger. No one knew what might happen in a few hours. Arms folded over his chest, Uriel reviewed the situation once more while leaning against the wall. Who would have known that the stranger would figure out Apollonia’s secrets in so much detail? No matter how many bridges he might have crossed, he might be in a position to access Lila Trion. free(w)ebnovel
“He must be a nobleman,” Uriel muttered unconsciously. Who would do such a thing and why?
Adrian heard him and murmured along. “Yes. He must have come from a noble family.”
Uriel uttered it without meaning but Adrian repeated it as if she didn’t want to miss that small clue.
“A nobleman?” Adrian’s eyes looked frightened and she turned towards Tanya standing by the window.
“Tanya,” Adrian called her softly. Tanya seemed to have judged that fear in this situation wasn’t helpful. “Are you sure you didn’t see his face?”
Tanya nodded.
“If he knew you, wouldn’t you have seen him somewhere, even if you can’t remember?” Adrian asked with a desperate look. “You couldn’t have possibly met many aristocrats in person, so if you think about it carefully you might recognize who the kidnapper is.” Adrian knew that it was kind of hopeless as she spoke but she couldn’t stop trying a little more until Evangeline returned with an answer.
“Strangely, I felt like I’d seen him somewhere.”
Tanya said thinly. Hope twinkled in Adrian’s eyes.
“It’s my first time meeting him, but I think I’ve seen him somewhere before.” Tanya tried to remember, but eventually dropped her shoulders and cried. “I’m sorry, Adrian. I can’t remember.”
Adrian sighed and shook her head. It wasn’t Tanya’s fault. With a snap, the door opened and Evangeline entered again. Her sleeves were slightly ragged than before as if small claws had torn them.
“They went somewhere in a carriage heading southwest from Albrate Garden. I think they passed Damon Square an hour ago.” She spoke in astonishing detail. “Fortunately, I just heard the report so we won’t be able to know where they were until the next one.”Evangeline looked better than before, but she still spoke in a grumpy tone as if she was forced to reveal the information. “After passing through Damon Square, heading in the southwest direction, there will be a forest near the capital border if one goes further. If one stops before that, one could stumble into a nearby aristocrat’s mansion, private or business property.” Adrian said. Thanks to Apollonia’s education, she was able to memorize not only the surrounding terrain but also where the aristocracy lived.
“However, the range is so large that I can’t find her with just the direction given right now.” She thought for a moment and shook her head. Then she turned her gaze and looked at Tanya again.
“Tanya.” Adrian didn’t give up and said, making eye contact with her. She looked determined but her voice sounded calm. She learned how to behave calmly in times of crisis, watching Apollonia.
“Think slowly. Who did you meet in person while doing business with Her Highness? Think back to the moment we first met.” She spoke with emphasis, word for word. Tanya, who looked as if she had lost her soul, took a deep breath and said, “Hmm… From the first time I met you?” She murmured. Adrian could see how focused she was from her furrowed brows.”First time… First time…… What?”
For a moment, Tanya’s eyes widened in surprise. “Huh!”
“Did you remember something?”
“I knew it!” cried Tanya, striking the window frame.
“Who is it?”
“Sid Byan! He looked just like him! I couldn’t see his face, but he definitely looked like him.”
“What? But Count Byan died five years ago!”
“They appeared kind of similar but he looked about the same age as you,” Tanya added uncertainly.
