When Fitney came out of the palace, he found a man dyed in this color.

"You're here." Fitney said to him, looking at Elliott.

Elliott had no expression on his face, nodded at her, and walked with her towards Mezo Street.

"Do you know who killed Dahl? And who poisoned Shirley? They walked quietly for a while, Elliott said suddenly.

"The person who poisoned Dahl? Morgan, as for the man who killed Dahl, perhaps the one who took advantage of him and didn't want to pay him. Fitney said calmly.

"Perhaps? Do you have enough evidence? Elliot hung his head.

"The pieces you brought back." Fitney said.

"Is it just that fragment?"

"That's enough."

Elliott jerked his head up, he thought he was going to meet Fitney's eyes, but he didn't—Fitney's expression was no different than usual, staring straight ahead. At this moment, Elliot felt a bucket of cold water spill over his head, making him unable to utter a word.

Another period of silence.

By the time they reached Mezzo Street, it was almost completely dark, and Elliott walked a little slowly, and Fitnair didn't seem to care about this, she went to the gate and took out the key herself.

"Lornais." As Fitney inserted the key into the keyhole, Elliott's voice rang out.

"What's wrong?" Fitney didn't turn his head.

"Where did Vlad go? And that strange woman. Elliot asked, "Also, who was the person who appeared with you during the awakening ceremony?" ”

A strange light flashed in Fettnay's eyes, those summoners were secrets she couldn't tell.

"They're all friends I used to know, and now they're gone." Fitney said.

"But......" Elliot didn't think that this reason would satisfy the things he wanted to know.

"It's getting dark, let's come back first." Fitney interrupted him.

Elliott stopped in mid-air because of Fitney's interruption. He watched as Fitnella opened the door and walked in, just quietly watching.

His time seemed to freeze.

"What's wrong with you?" Fitney said in the door.

"I'm ......," Elliot paused, then turned and walked outside, "I still have some business, go out." ”

Fitney looked at Elliott's back and didn't speak, just closed the door softly.

Elliot frowned at the sound of the door closing behind him, and walked briskly forward—he didn't really know where he was going, he just kept walking.

"Sir, please wait!" After some time, Elliott suddenly heard a voice - he turned his head blankly and found that it was a manservant in formal clothes, and when he saw Elliot paying attention to him, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked over, "Are you Mr. Elliot?" ”

"I am." Elliott replied blandly.

"Your Highness Lucy wants to see you—right in the carriage over there." The valet pointed to where he had come.

Lucy? Elliot was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that she had just passed by an ornate carriage - but she had not paid any attention to it because she was lost in thought.

"Okay." Elliott said.

When Elliott got into the carriage, he saw Lucy's haggard face in the magic lamp in the carriage - she had been recuperating these days, so many people, including Elliott, hadn't seen her for a while.

"I just saw you hurrying by, is there something wrong?" Lucy saw him and asked.

"Nothing." Elliot was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Is there anything going on with Your Highness?" ”

"I want to go to Ai...... Fitney, I just happened to see you on the road, and I thought you looked a little strange. Lucy said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"No...... And nothing. Elliot sighed, "If nothing else...... It's a little late now, and if you're any later, maybe you won't be able to talk to the lady for a short time. ”

"No...... Actually......" Lucy hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "I don't know if I should go or not. ”

Elliot didn't quite understand what Lucy meant.

"I've always thought of her as my friend, but now it suddenly dawns on me that she's not what I thought she was - not that there was anything wrong with her character, it was just ...... I always felt that she was so mysterious that I ......" Lucy frowned slightly.

"What?" Elliott listened attentively.

"Scared - I never knew I would have such feelings for someone I respected." Lucy exhaled, she looked a little confused, "I wanted to thank her for a long time, but I hesitated, at first I didn't know what I was hesitating about. Plus what has happened in the last two days...... I'd heard all of that, and I had heard it a while ago, and I realized that I had this idea. ”

Elliott listened to these words, and his expression was a little dazed.

"Well, maybe it's just my psyche...... I'm that person's daughter, and I'm always thinking about unrealistic things like her. Lucy laughed at herself.

"No, it's not your problem...... Excuse me...... What did you hear about not so long ago? Elliot said hurriedly.

"It was the maids who said that Shirley wanted Fitney to marry my brother." Lucy hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Elliott's serious expression, she made up her mind and said, "But actually...... It's not that I disapprove of this, it's just that I think it's a little weird. ”

Elliott's expression became a little strange after listening to Lucy's words: "Why? ”

"It's not that it's inappropriate...... But I don't know why, I feel ...... It's a strange fit......" Lucy felt a little headache as she thought about it, "why am I telling you this?" Thou art her servant, and beg of you not to tell her these things. ”

Lucy said something strange, but Elliot didn't pay attention, and something suddenly occurred to him.

"Your Highness, I still have some things." He stood up and hurriedly stepped out of the carriage, "I'm very sorry. ”

Lucy didn't stop him and watched him walk away.

"Your Highness, are we still going to Miss Fitney?" At this moment, a maid walked up, and she stepped into the carriage and glanced in the direction Elliott had left, as if she was worried.

"Nope. My purpose...... It has been reached. Lucy said softly.

"Your Highness......" The maid stopped talking.

"You won't understand...... She's been me until now...... The only friend. There was an intriguing pain in Lucy's expression, "I ......"
