In the midst of the sad silence, Hesta suddenly broke the glass in his hand.
She herself was startled by the sudden sound for a moment, and the warm water in the cup splashed all over her body. Endai quickly stepped forward to check whether Hesta's hand was injured.
"it's okay no problem."
Hesta shook his head and leaned over to pick up the glass fragments on the ground. Villefort said with concern: "Put it there, and let Townsend and the others pick it up when daybreak comes."
"What's wrong with you?" Endai looked at Hesta with some surprise, "...Why are your eyes red?"
Hesta laughed awkwardly, blinked quickly and calmed her breathing.
"I'm really fine, I'm just...so sad to hear what happened to the Duke."
Endai was startled, and soon gave a helpless smile, "Yes, I felt a little sore from what I heard just now."
Hesta looked deeply at Villefort, "For such a kind father and such a considerate husband like you... to suffer such a fate inexplicably, I really... feel sad for Mrs. Villefort, and also feel sorry for you. fair."
"Actually..." Villefort wanted to comfort him, but when he met Hesta's red eyes, the second half of his words died in his throat.
For some reason, he couldn't help but feel a shiver at this moment - Hesta's two dark pupils were like two empty muzzles, and the gazes shooting out of them were like sharp spikes.
Even though he understood that this was Eureka's indignation against what the "assassin" had done, Villefort still found such a look unbearable. He instinctively avoided the gaze and reached for the water glass on the table.
The few people sat there and chatted for a while - they said they were chatting, but most of the time it was Endai who was talking, while Hestad and Villefort responded.
The two men had their own concerns, but they both acted as if they were listening attentively.
Not long after, Hesta stood up from the chair at her leisure. She looked out the window and stretched lazily.
"It's still a while before dawn. I'd better go back and sleep for a while... I have to go out and apply for temporary status again tomorrow morning."
"Good night, Eureka." Endai looked at the clock on the wall and smiled, "You can still sleep for three more hours."
"Good night."
Hesta said goodbye to everyone and turned to go upstairs. But just as she stepped onto the steps, she heard Theresa, who had been sitting by the window, suddenly say: "Duke, can I ask you a question?"
Teresa's voice is so recognizable, she speaks slowly, and every word she speaks seems to come with a gentle smile.
"Oh...of course."
"When you refused to go to the core city, you said you wanted to meet the assassin... If you really met, what would you say to her?"
The living room fell into silence.
Villefort on the sofa did not answer immediately. He propped his elbows on his knees and quickly buried his entire face in his hands.
"Maybe there's nothing you can say..." Villefort's voice was very low, "...I don't know."
There was a slight "click" from the second floor - Hesta closed the door.
…
Early the next morning, Hesta received an email from Ava Morgan.
The content of the email was very official. Ava reaffirmed her position. This time she also acknowledged the theory that Fernando had a greater relationship with the assassins, but also severely criticized Hesta's attempt to use lynching to retaliate against the citizens of the livable land.
Hesta skipped through these cliches and quickly saw the three truly valuable pieces of information in Ava's email at the end:
First, Office 004 has begun reevaluating Hestad’s sentencing for attempted intentional homicide;
Second, Office 002 is re-planning Hestad’s next work arrangements;
Third, Office 006 has begun to count and verify Hesta's past combat records. In six months at the latest, all combat honors previously attributed to various strange names will be returned to Hesta's name.
From this email, she already understood Ava's attitude: the old man obviously admired her behavior in court - instead of waiting for an opportunity in the long trial and relying on the cooperation of Campbell and Eclipse to clear out the charges, he It would be better to break free on your own initiative.
Now that she has voluntarily confessed the facts of the crime and is cooperating with the work of Team Victoria, this is a basis for leniency in the 004 office;
The true identity of "Jane Hestad" has been revealed to the public - although only within ahgas for now, it will not be long before the news will spread among the coalition government.
Once this happens, it will be difficult for Ahgas to ensure that future aberrations will know nothing about it, and Hesta's effectiveness as a weapon against aberrations will be greatly reduced, but even so, she still has an extremely senior combat experience , it would be a pity to withdraw from the front line like this - presumably this is why Office 002 needs to "replan" her work arrangements.
However, this plan must be adjusted based on the sentencing standards issued by Office 004, so this matter will not be finalized until the "Assassin" incident is over.
As for the third item, Hesta does not need to do anything extra to verify her past combat history. At most, the staff of Office 006 will occasionally contact her to do some verification work.
In this way, during her time in Tan Yi, apart from cooperating with the work of arresting and persuading the assassin, she had almost nothing else to worry about.
Hesta closed the computer.
Obviously, even though she and Ava have not met or even exchanged a few words during this period, Ava still understands what she is doing, and she also understands Ava.
She sent the first photo to Baron Hoffmann on October 7th, and now it is November 27th - more than half of three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Everything is really coming to an end.
Hesta sat quietly by the bed, and suddenly heard a slight noise from the door - someone was putting his ear against her door.
Hesta glanced towards the door with unconcealed disgust.
She quietly walked to the door of the room, then pressed the door handle with lightning speed and opened the door. In response, a girl fell into Hesta's room and let out a scream.
Hesta was startled - the person coming was not Sean.
The girl sat up painfully, holding on to the floor, and Hestad pulled her up.
"...Who are you?" Hesta narrowed her eyes, "Sophie?"
"right……"
"What are you listening to at my door?"
"I'm sorry... I just want to know if you are still sleeping," Sophie looked at her, "Miss Ende said you didn't sleep well last night. I think if you haven't gotten up yet, I will come back later."
