The castle of the Grand Duke of Troxie was busy late at night.

People were running around, and the man who had assassinated Grand Duke Trixy had been strung to a pole.

This is the punishment of the thief!

Outside the pole, Atone recalled his friend's gaze before he died, a little puzzled.

Why did he end up with that bitter look, like he had been deceived by someone, and that pitiful look.

[Am I also deceived?] 】

But the possibility was overturned at once, but suddenly, Athone remembered what she had said before she came tonight.

"Atonne, the Grand Duke has begun to suspect us, I'm so afraid, can you help me, can you take me away."

The appearance of tears made Atonne not have the slightest doubt at that time.

But at this moment, Atone felt that the malice of the whole world was surging towards him, and his whole body couldn't help trembling, as if he was being manipulated by a thug with one hand.

All the happiness of the past was like poison, corroding his heart.

At this time, a pair of hands slapped him on the shoulder, making him shake his whole body.

"Knight of Artonne, you've finally figured it out."

"Who is it?"

As soon as he turned around, Artone saw Kevin.

"Kevin, what do you mean by that!"

The words of the two attracted the attention of the knights around them, and Atonne also noticed it, so he fell silent.

And Kevin didn't care at all, and walked towards Atone, and when the two passed by, Atone's whole body was extremely tense.

"Knight Attonne, if you want to know, come to the thatched hut outside the butler's residence."

It wasn't until Kevin was gone for a long time that Atone's tense body recovered somewhat.

He is now very confused, he personally killed his friend who had worked with him for 10 years, and was suspected by the Grand Duke that the person around him all along was actually a liar.

Life is like darkness, and these things are still known to other people.

Atone was confused by these things, and when he looked up, he found that he didn't know when he had come outside the hut.

As soon as he wanted to leave, Kevin's voice came from inside the grass hut.

"Knight of Artone, come here, come in and sit down."

Inside the house.

The two sat on a haystack.

"Knight of Artonne, you have come here to make the most correct choice you have made in the midst of your confusion."

Artona didn't have that much patience to listen to Kevin's nagging, and asked directly:

"Kevin, what the hell do you know?"

"You know, I know, you don't know, I know."

Again?

At this time, Atonne frowned directly at Kevin, and his tone began to become unkind.

"Kevin, I'm not in the mood to play pantomime with you here."

"Well, I'm going to ask you first, do you want to help Oz get revenge?"

Remembering his friend's name, Athona clenched his fists with endless anger at the vicious woman in his eyes.

"What can you do!"

"This requires the help of the Knight of Artonne, you can pretend not to know and then secretly gather her evidence."

Listening to Kevin's plan, Ah Tonne suddenly looked up at Kevin and asked:

"What's in it for you!"

At this moment, Kevin was possessed by the spirit, and he talked about his tragic experience with tears in his eyes, and he raised Mota for 8 years in vain.

"Stop, isn't Steward Mota 16?"

"No, he was only 14 years old, and my good lady lied to me about 16, and at 14 I didn't come home at all.

During that time, I was out to visit the Counts on behalf of the Grand Duke, and I had not returned for six years, and when I returned, she said, "Mota was six years old." ”

Speaking of this, Kevin angrily punched the grass pile, and said with a hint of anger and shame:

"You know, I've only been aware of this for a long time, so I'm coming back to find him and kill him, so I need your help."

It's a tragic thing, and there is suddenly a sense of identity in Ah Tone's heart.

When you're miserable, and someone is as miserable as you, you feel much better.

"I can help you, but what happened 14 years ago was very difficult."

"It's okay, it's okay..."

After finishing speaking, Atona raised his head and thought slightly, and then nodded violently, using too much force, and the red magpie feathers on the helmet trembled.

"Then I'll go back first, Kevin old butler, happy cooperation!"

"Knight of Atonne, happy cooperation."

The two smiled and said goodbye, as if they were very satisfied with the conversation just now.

Standing outside the thatched hut until Atone's figure disappeared, Kevin looked at the butler's quarters with a smile on his lips.

[Motta, take a risk for your father, I'm sure you're willing.] 】

Inside the housekeeper's residence.

Mota, who had been investigating the connection between them, did not investigate clearly, so there was a news about the assassination of the Grand Duke, and I wanted to visit.

But he was stopped by the knight and said that the Grand Duke was being treated and could not meet.

In desperation, Mota had to look at the window in a daze.

"Yuni, where are you?"

Garden.

Yuni in Mota's mouth is feeding the child with a kind face.

"You have to grow up well, you have to be like your father Mota, to be a man!"

The baby didn't know anything, just looked at Yuni with a smirk.

Seeing the cute baby, Yuni's eyes were full of love and gently pinched the child's face.

Except for the two of them, no one knew about the entire Grand Duke's Castle.

Yuni gave birth in the garden, just like the place where the two of them first tasted the forbidden fruit.

It has the best memories of Mota and Yuni.

Every time Yuni works, she carefully hides her children in the pit dug in advance.

It was covered with several wooden boards, covered with burlap and inserted diagonally with a perforated tube.

This is their secret base, and every time they see their children is at noon and at night, when no one is around, they are the only ones who are quiet.

Fortunately, her child was very well-behaved, did not cry or make trouble, and saved her life in this way, remembering the second half of the year in hiding.

If Mota hadn't used her position to hide her in the butler's quarters, she wouldn't have been able to hold on.

It's just that tonight, the movement outside is a little big, and after hurriedly feeding the child, Yuni hid the child again, straightened his clothes, and walked cautiously.

But then, a footstep came closer.

At this moment, Yuni covered her mouth and held her breath, but when she saw the shoe on the board, she was nervous.

[What to do, what to do. 】

But soon the knight left the place and came to her.

"Hey, have you picked the flowers, the doctor urged."

"Alright, alright, here we are."

The knight had come to pick the flowers that the doctor had requested.

Just as Yuni was rejoicing, the knight's words from afar startled her.

"Where did the maid who picked flowers go?"

"Who knows where she went, let's go."

[I have to go back quickly!] 】

Yuni knew that she had to go back, so she reluctantly glanced at the plank, turned her head and lifted her skirt and ran away.
