Chapter 373: The Tears of the White Swan

She held back her breathing and repeated the name of her beloved.

Following the circle, Theresia reached the rendezvous point. This is an art exhibition hall, and the invasion of strange thieves has blocked all the normally open entrances and exits, and the entrance and exit on the ceiling is a safe exit for the thieves, but the entrance and exit on the roof is very narrow.

"It's amazing to be able to find this place." Theresia thought as she looked around.

However, Theresia never saw the Strange Thief.

"Did you get the signal wrong? Or did you encounter something along the way? ”

Theresia was worried about He, and seeing that it would be some time before the pursuers found her, she decided to stay there and wait for Heh to find her.

In the silence of the enclosed space, precious time passed slowly, but after a long time, the strange thief still did not show up.

Teresia felt that her safety was shrinking little by little, and she had to make a decision. First, to be on the safe side, she decided to escape from the established route first, then wait on the ceiling and help from above when Hyuk arrived.

Theresia gripped her sword hard, ready to use something beside her as a springboard. But she always felt a little strange, she could feel the magic flowing in her body, but let alone jumping, she couldn't even move her feet at this time.

Like a powerful magic pulling Theresia from the ground, Teresia was firmly tied to the ground.

"Huh? Why? This magic is ......"

In her panic, the knights of the pursuing party suddenly burst into the exhibition hall, and they lined up and slowly surrounded Theresia.

"No, if he gets caught here, he'll ......"

In her panic, Theresia quickly cast her magic to break the situation, but the situation remained the same, and as time passed, her magically bound feet became more and more secure.

"I can't give up here!" With that, Theresia set her sights on the knight.

But Theresia really didn't want to attack these knights with her sword, she didn't want to see innocent people shed their blood for this. Now, her last hope is only He.

Theresia eagerly waited for He's to appear, for He's to take her out of this pit like a savior.

However, Theresia's hopes were dashed the moment she looked at the window.

The man that Theresia loved dearly.

He had managed to escape and was watching her from the window.

As usual, he watched everything that was happening here with a very calm and subtle expression, and He's fingertips pointed at Theresia's feet, as if controlling Theresia's movements.

When Hek realized that his eyes were in line with Theresia's, Hek curled his finger and slowly placed it on his lips.

Hush!

In an instant, Theresia realized that everything was an illusion and that it was all over now. In desperation, Theresia gave up her resistance and was restrained by the knights. Bound by a rope, tears welled up in her eyes, tears of hatred after being betrayed.

The ruthless figure outside the window, who stayed there, watched the whole process of the poor girl being taken away by the knight, until the convoy that locked her disappeared from He's sight.

......

A few days later, the knights completed the investigation, because the knights did not harm anyone except for a slight broken artifact, and no things that disappeared from the museum were found from Theresia, so the knights allowed Theresia to return to the life of ordinary people, although there are still parts that need to cooperate with the investigation, but most of the suspicions have been cleared.

For the knights, Theresia did not have a clear motive for committing the crime, because as a famous actress, how could she, who was loved by thousands of people, participate in such a crime? This is something that many people don't believe.

On top of that, the jeweler is a magician who manipulates people's spirits, and "brainwashing" is a piece of cake for him.

So that day, Teresia only accidentally fell victim to magic, and her consciousness was manipulated by the wanted jeweler.

In this way, Theresia got out of a big crisis by playing the "poor woman", but her world is a little different from the past.

The fact that the popular actress is an accomplice of the vicious wanted has become a hot topic in the city. Everywhere you go, you can hear the surprising scandal of Theresia and the strange thief "The Jeweler".

Due to the constant influx of sights and the swarming flow of people, Theresia has been forced to the point where she can't walk on the street, plus her family who has been relying on her is standing in the middle of the crowd at this time and pointing at Teresia, especially Teresia's parents, who obviously didn't listen to their daughter's voice at all, but kept saying that Teresia had ruined the family's reputation.

In the days when curiosity, compassion, condemnation, and praise were intertwined, Theresia was left alone to bear the blame that Het had brought to her.

But things aren't particularly bad, and paradoxically, the seductive moniker "Strange Thief Lover" has exploded in Teresia's popularity, and there are many more people looking for her than before.

Unwittingly, public opinion in favor of Theresia prevailed, and scandals and rumors soon faded into oblivion.

Hearing that the jeweler had disappeared along with the "perfect gem" he had stolen, people kept asking Theresia about the so-called "truth", such as the jeweler's whereabouts and whether the rumors were true.

However, more than anyone else, Theresia wanted to know the truth and find him.

The bad wound of betrayal could not be easily healed, and countless whys were turned over and over in Theresia's mind, which plunged her into heart-rending pain, she complained about her innocence, hated He, who left, and her heart, hovering at the bottom of hell every day.

Every night Theresia dreams of He, and she dreams that she is being watched by He's emotionless eyes, day after day, over and over and over again.

This kind of emotion every day makes it difficult for Teresia to trust others, which may be a good thing.

Theresia wanted to forget, but no matter how hard she tried to act, no matter how hard she tried to cover her memories with alcohol, the gentleman always showed up quietly and then disturbed her mind.

Whether she likes it or not, her heart and body have left traces of gentlemen and strange thieves. She kept thinking that if she wanted to use it and throw it away as soon as she was done, why would she teach her magic?

Why did Her give Teresia the Magic Gem, just because Het wanted Teresia to be his stand-in?

When such thoughts came to her mind, she decided to give up her path as an actress and become a bounty hunter!
