As Evan was talking to someone, around the corner outside the door, Vivien Leigh saw Charlotte angrily kick the stone wall of the hallway before stumbling out of the area. She wanted to go out and help Charlotte, but she hesitated and didn't act.

"They...... Quarrelling?" Vivien Leigh closed her eyes sadly.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

Vivien Leigh opened her eyes to see Cynthia's maid looking at her tremblingly. She waved her hand and said, 'It's nothing,' and ran to her room from the other end in a panic.

On the other hand, Charlotte huffed back to her room, ripped off her cloak and threw it at her chair.

Before he could throw it, his clothes slipped and fell to the ground. Enraged, Charlotte rushed up and stomped on her clothes several times, and rummaged through the lockers, keeping the previously arranged lockers without any alcohol.

So he lit a cigarette and smoked a bitter cigarette while wiping tears from the corners of his eyes.

Bang Bang Bang.

There was a soft knock on the door three times, and Charlotte asked angrily, "Who!?"

The people outside the door heard Charlotte's annoyance, and asked timidly, "Earl, I am Princess Cynthia's maid, is it convenient for you now?"

- Cynthia's maid, what is she looking for me?

Charlotte took a deep breath, "Please wait. ”

He wiped the tears from his eyes and extinguished the cigarette. When he picked up his coat, he found that it was covered with black footprints, so he threw it away and opened the door.

Outside the door, a woman in her thirties wearing a maid's uniform was looking at him timidly, she was not tall, less than 1.6 meters tall, she could only look up at Charlotte, and her slightly timid expression was as pitiful as a fawn.

She seemed to notice the tears in the corners of Charlotte's eyes, and suddenly showed a panicked expression, "I—Did I disturb you?"

"It's all right!" Charlotte tried to restrain herself, she wanted to smile and make the maid less nervous, but this simple facial expression became very difficult. So he gave up his efforts and asked with a straight face, "Do you have something to do with me?"

"Ah, no, it's okay! No, yes, it's me, but Princess Cynthia has something to do with you. The maid said uneasily.

She had trepidation on her face, and Elbert's death had left her in a difficult and precarious position.

"Cynthia?!" Charlotte was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had an ominous premonition, he clenched his fists and said in a continuous voice, "Lead the way with me!"

The two walked through the castle corridor to Cynthia's bedroom, and not long after leaving, Vivien Leigh hesitantly arrived at Charlotte's room.

She felt the need to ask Charlotte and Evan about their quarrel, and she only heard the two of them arguing, but she didn't hear the content.

However, as soon as she reached Charlotte's room, the guards patrolling outside noticed her arrival. The leader saluted Fei Wenli and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness Princess Gui'an, are you here to find Count Wintercastle?"

The simple question startled Vivien Leigh, and she pulled her long hair uneasily, twisting and pinching, "Yes, yes, what, what?"

This was said in such a way that the guards fell to their knees in fear.

"This is your castle, you can go wherever you want. The subordinates, the subordinates just want to remind you that just now, the maids of Her Royal Highness Princess Cynthia came to look for the Earl, and then they went out. ”

"Cynthia, why did her maid come to Charlotte?" Fei Wene Leigh thought it was a little strange, in fact, what had happened recently seemed strange to her. She instinctively thought that something unsettling was raging in the castle.

"I don't know. The guard replied, and he hesitated for a moment, "but I think they should go to Princess Cynthia." ”

“…… I understand. ”

Fivien Leigh thought for a moment and hesitated to leave the area, not knowing if she should catch up and take a look.

- What was he doing in Cynthia's room?

Vivien Leigh knew that Charlotte had some inexplicable affection for Cynthia, and she didn't know if she should go over and check it out.

- Maybe Charlotte and Aven's argument has something to do with Cynthia?

Vivien Leigh was a little nervous, she needed to find a reason for herself, a reason to catch up.

Charlotte came to Cynthia's room.

The maid knocked at the door, and whispered, 'Princess, I have brought the Earl,' and pushed the door in.

Nervously preparing the spell, Charlotte followed the maid into the room, where he vigilantly activated the magic eye's ability to assess the threat by observing the concentration of magic energy in the room.

Turning a screen, Charlotte noticed that Cynthia was half-lying on the couch by the fireplace, the room was very hot, and she was wearing only a white gown, with her ivory porcelain-white wrists and delicate collarbones exposed.

"Your eyes are really scary, is this your new ability? Don't worry, there's nothing wrong here for the time being. Cynthia waved her hand and motioned for the maid to exit the room, and asked, "Let me guess if you are so nervous that something is wrong with me?"

Charlotte was shocked, he didn't expect Cynthia to be so smart, it was as if she had witnessed everything and guessed that Elbert had entrusted Cynthia to him.

The house was filled with a wonderful scent of sandalwood, and Charlotte canceled the activation of the MONOCULAR, and he said hesitantly, "Did it scare you? MONOCULUS looked quite ruthless when it was activated? Haha, Elbert had an accident, I was worried that you were also in danger, but it seems that I was thinking too much. ”

Only then did he notice that Cynthia was wearing only a light veil, and suddenly looked away with a red face, and she didn't know how to place her hands.

"It's hot. He stood awkwardly for a few seconds, fanning his neck with his hand.

"Aren't you going to sit?"

"No, no, that's fine. ”

"Charlotte, you're good friends with Elbert, aren't you?" asked Cynthia, rising from the couch, her tall figure only half a head shorter than Charlotte, and she took a few steps forward, trying to look Charlotte in the eye, but was avoided by the latter.

"Yes, I have a good relationship with him and are comrades-in-arms. ”

"Did he tell you anything?" Cynthia looked aggressive, "as soon as you heard that I was looking for you, you hurried over, and put on a very wary face. Is it because Elbert said something to you, that he expected his own death, and asked you to protect me?"

- It's terrible!

Charlotte said vaguely, "I'm just worried about what happened to you......"

"You're lying, Charlotte, you're lying. Cynthia snorted with a look of contempt on her face, "If you think I'm in danger, why don't you come with Aven? He's my fiancé, isn't he? Or are you still as arrogant as ever, thinking you can solve the threat I face by yourself?" or ......"

She asked Charlotte with a look that was both sad and begging, "Or do you think you shouldn't call Evan to come along?"

Charlotte's heart beat half a beat slower, and she was covered in a cold sweat. He covered his mouth, and suddenly felt a churn in his stomach, and a feeling of nausea and wanting to vomit welled up in his heart.

He didn't want Aven's image to crumble in Cynthia's heart, he wanted to get everything back on track. Even if this was ridiculed by Evan as naïve and stupid, he wanted to protect those precious things.

"No, why do you think that?" Charlotte covered her mouth, a sad voice coming out of her throat, "Well, I'll admit it, we met the Assassin on the way to Erosa, Elbert was a little worried, and I promised him that if anything happened to him, I would protect you." That's why I'm in a hurry!"

"Are you alright?" Cynthia asked, and after seeing Charlotte nod, she was silent for a moment before asking, "Where are the assassins?"

“…… It is of the Duchy of Durali. Charlotte lied again.

But he knew that the Assassins were Erossa's.
