Carlo's expression instantly stiffened, as if he had seen someone he didn't want to see and had to see, and his black eyes, which had always been indifferent, cast a sad shadow. He stared at the girl on crutches without saying a word, as if he didn't want to move a single step.

"Huh?" Xiulin looked back in confusion.

"Carlo, can you help me?"

The girl smiled as delicate as a rose, though weak. Carlo, who had been about to leave with Xiulin, ran towards the girl without hesitation, as if he had heard an order not to be disobeyed, and grabbed her outstretched hand.

The girl straightened up with the strength of Carlo's arm, and her light dark brown curls fell from her shoulders, covering her face.

Half paid, there was silence in the hotel.

"Carlo, you, do you know Angel?" Essia looked up in surprise, her purple eyes similar to Angel's, staring blankly at the two men on the stairs who seemed familiar. Carlo also lowered his head, as if he didn't want to answer, and his upright face contorted.

Angel smiled happily.

"A long, long time ago, Carlo helped me, didn't you, Carlo?"

"Yes. Carlo said.

Xiulin stood for a moment and raised her eyebrows.

"It's someone Carlo used to know. Then I'll go back first. With that, she turned away, flicked the ends of her hair, and stepped out of the inn without looking back.

The atmosphere seems to be a little subtly dull. Angel smiled and looked at Xiulin's back until Xiulin disappeared from her sight. Then she looked away from the doorway, and bowed a little to the men on the stairs in the graceful posture of a noble lady.

"I'm going back to my room too. She tilted her head to look at Carlo's bitter expression, "Can you help me again?"

"Yes. ”

Carlo replied dryly, and he put his arm around Angel's shoulders and hugged Angel horizontally, carrying Angel's heavy cane in one hand. Then, the two disappeared into the shadows on the second floor.

In the room with the smell of medicine, Angel hooked Carlo's neck, and the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to bloom thicker and thicker.

"Long time no see, Carlo. There was a light in his purple eyes that couldn't tell whether it was surprise or disgust, "Why did you come here too?

"Lord Hernos told me...... You're back. Carlo placed Angel firmly on the side of the bed, took a step back, and hung her head respectfully.

"Artel is really a superfluous move!" Angel suddenly pursed her mouth, she raised her fair little hand and stroked her beautiful long light black and brown hair, leaning over slightly, her arms on top of her knees, "Yatel did he say why I came back?"

Carlo shook her head honestly, and the corners of Angel's mouth hooked.

"Then you, do you want to know why I came back?"

The glass-like purple pupils danced with a playful glow, and if these eyes turned emerald green, they would probably make Carlo instantly fall into the memories of "a long time ago", but even though the color of the eyes was not the same, Carlo still frowned, and his face showed a painful look.

He shook his head again, his movements struggling.

"Yes. Angel straightened up, her expression suddenly becoming as indifferent as a doll, and she narrowed her eyes and looked at Carlo with an arrogant gaze.

"Carlo just do as I say, Carlo swears. As a descendant of House Brandes and a patron knight of a previous dynasty, oath and loyalty are the most important things to you. So, you don't need to know my purpose at all. ”

Carlo stared at the tip of his nose, Angel's cold words like daggers piercing his chest, but he couldn't escape the deadly pain. He knelt on one knee on the floor.

"Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess Angel. ”

Carlo's answer made Angel laugh with satisfaction.

Downstairs at the hotel, Mr. Grand asked John a few questions, sighed, and went to the adjoining medical clinic to get his medicine.

The bumps in the carriage made John, who was seriously injured, unable to recover for a while, so he could only sit on a chair and wait for his body to slowly recover. It took a long time for Carlo to send Angel back to her room.

"-Angel had stayed at the hotel a few days ago, she was a foreigner, but she was from the kingdom of Ura. Etha explained to John. Hearing that the girl's name was Angel, John was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked how the two children knew her.

"Her background is very pitiful, she has no family, she was adopted and raised by well-wishers, and she doesn't even know her surname. Ah, it was Angel who told us that Mr. John was in the city. Isha smiled heartily, and Ivan glanced at her, then lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"I remember what Angel said yesterday was ......"

Angel was talking about John coming with King Vincent. However, the fact that John joined the army was an old friend of General Thames, who said he had not met King Vincent before.

Angel may have misremembered. Aisha pursed her lips, presumably remembering what had happened yesterday. The patrol soldiers who came to the hotel must have heard the name John, and they probably talked about King Vincent as well, so Angel, who did not hear clearly, was mistaken. Anyway, if it weren't for Angel, they probably wouldn't have found John.

"Well, the name Angel reminds me of someone. John raised his hand to prop up his chin, his eyes flashing as if he was hesitating something, "Well, I don't think it should matter, that 'Angel' is long gone." ”

He grinned miserably, as if he didn't want to continue talking about "Angel", and asked about something else.

"Hey, is that friend of yours also from the Kingdom of Ora?"

"Do you mean Carlo?" Asha blinked, "Carlo's words...... Where is Carlo from?"

She turned her head to stare at Ivan.

"How do I know. Ivan shrugged. In this way, they really don't know where Carlo's hometown is, and even Xiulin only says that she and Carlo met in the Anglo region. But-

Suddenly, some messy fragments came to the fore from the depths of memory. At the end of last year, when he and Carlo went to investigate the monster attack on Clevy Hill in the northern part of the Anglo region, Carlo told him in a very serious tone.

- My parents, no longer there, were killed because of a conspiracy.

The person involved in that conspiracy was what he called His Highness Rey Vincent Electrics.

"Ivan?"

Perhaps Ivan's expression suddenly darkened, and Aisha turned his head to look at him in confusion. He shook his head, trying to shake off the jumble of conjectures that had come with the memory. He didn't want to get involved in the troublesome political relationship at all, and he didn't want to know anything related to "Eli Crex".

However.

Steady and slow footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Carlo stepped down the steps, looking in the direction of Ivan, Esia, and John with the same serious gaze as he had then, and spoke faintly.

"You'd better not stay at this hotel. He said, then closed his lips.
