"If you asked me the same question twenty years ago, maybe I would answer... yes?"
"Isn't that the case now?"
"There are many ways to love someone, Eureka. If the person you love leaves this world, you don't necessarily have to follow them to express your love." Alvira said softly, "You can still express your love by following them. Live slowly in this world, waiting to see each other again - we will meet again sooner or later, so why rush?"
Alvira looked towards the balcony, "And I believe him. Although I don't know the entanglement between him and the assassin, even if the assassin does not forgive his sins in the end, it is his choice to die... This is my thoughts."
"I understand, it's very... inspiring." Hesta smiled at Alvira, and she gently touched the fox origami in her hand, "I'm going back, thank Sophie for me."
…
At nine o'clock, the clock had just finished chiming the hour, and Tanglar finally returned to his bedroom. Out of caution, all the windows in his room have been sealed, leaving only the bedroom door as an exit. The curtains in the room were closed at all times, which made Danglars quite dissatisfied - what he liked most was the view from this bedroom.
What made him even more dissatisfied was that the mercury needle responsible for his close care tonight was Teresa. Danglars only felt that this person was his natural nemesis. As long as she smiled, he would immediately feel a chill to the bone—— From the top of the head to the toes, it is implemented in one go.
As soon as he locked the bedroom door, Teresa knocked on the door, "Mr. Viscount, you'd better open the door."
"I have a habit of locking the door when I go to bed at night." Danglars loosened his tie, "Just don't—"
"three two……"
Tangglar quickly unscrewed the door key and opened the door, "What are you doing? What are you counting down for? I can't even close the door when I sleep in my room?"
Outside the door, Teresa stretched out her hand, and Tanglar suddenly took a few steps back.
He looked at Teresa tremblingly - her hand reached for the door panel and pushed it open gently.
"I want to be able to hear the movement in the Viscount's room at any time, so I can't let you lock the door." Theresa still smiled, "Let's just endure it for one night."
Tanglar held on to the chest of drawers beside him. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief until Teresa's figure disappeared into the door frame.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder from behind. Tangglar was almost frightened to the point of cardiac arrest and let out a scream.
Theresa poked her head out from outside the door, "What's wrong?"
"No...it's okay." Tanglar covered his heart, "There were bugs... There were bugs that crawled across my bed just now..."
“Need late night pest control service?”
Tanglar's face turned pale and he shook his head repeatedly.
When Teresa left, Danglars slowly turned his head - near the corner of the balcony, Hesta was standing there, making a silent gesture to him.
For a moment, Tanglar could hardly breathe.
Hesta smiled. She walked silently to the record player by the window and took out a record from the wooden shelf at hand. After a while, the music started playing.
Hesta walked to Tanglar. She leaned down and whispered: "Viscount, please move around. It's so unnatural to be so quiet all of a sudden."
Tangglar shuddered involuntarily. He couldn't explain why he had to keep silent according to Eureka's instructions just now. He only felt that when those eagle-like eyes stared at him, obedience was an instinctive reaction.
Tanglar coughed lightly and quickly adjusted his demeanor. Gu Chu
"What did you want to do when you came to my room suddenly?"
Facing the suddenly fierce-looking Danglars, Hesta said nothing and just smiled and threw something at him.
In the bright bedroom light, Tanglar's eyes widened on the spot - it was Roger's brooch.
Hesta had already stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Soon there was the sound of running water inside. Danglar understood her intention and quickly followed her in.
"Why do you have Gray's stuff?"
"Just call me by your real name, Viscount." Hesta smiled, "Roger Pierre, what can't you say?"
"...You, how do you know-"
"What else could it be because of course he told me," Hesta smiled, "He is still in Tan Yi and has not left."
"Where is he?"
"He's waiting for you." Hesta said softly.
Tanglar's eyes suddenly became a little brighter, "...Has he seen the letter I gave him?"
"Of course, didn't you notice that the wine you sent was missing a bottle? Not only did he taste your wine, but he also took away your letter."
Tangglar was briefly absent-minded, "...Yes, yes, I discovered it in the morning. One bottle of wine was missing, and the letter inside was gone. But the people around him told me that Roger didn't have anything before he went out last night. ——”
"How could he let others know about such an important thing?" Hesta said warmly, "So, he asked me to come to you personally..."
Tanglar looked at Hesta blankly, "Are you Roger's man?"
Hesta spread her hands and shrugged slightly.
"...How is this possible? You guys have never known each other before..." Tanglar blinked his eyes in a daze, suddenly realizing a certain possibility. The corners of his mouth rose quickly, but he quickly calmed down his expression. , continued to look at the visitor warily, "How do I know whether what you said is true or false?"
"What else can I say?" Hesta patted his abdomen gently, "Here, Mr. Roger has a birthmark, and here, on the inside of his right arm, there is a mole, and there is a large piece on his lower back. The scars seem to be burns... Of course, I won’t talk about the two stab wounds on the chest, everyone knows how they came about.”
Tanglar's face slowly revealed a dirty look of sudden realization. When he looked at Youleka, his eyes were completely different. He first let out a sneer. When he realized that the contempt in his eyes was inappropriate, he immediately used his short words Thick fingers rubbed his face.
Recalling what happened yesterday evening, Tanglar narrowed his eyes: "So, you two have already...?"
"We have spent a very unforgettable night together." Hesta whispered, "I originally wanted to introduce him to my friends as soon as possible, but he said that his identity is a bit sensitive at the moment, especially with Campbell. There seems to be some trouble. If something goes wrong at this time, it will have a bad impact on him."
"Yes, yes, that's right..." Tanglar shook his head in disbelief, "Oh... you are hiding it so well!"
"It can't be said that I deliberately concealed it, but it happened too fast," Hestad looked at Danglars, "I originally thought that it would be difficult for you, Viscount, to be convinced that we would be committed for life after just two days of knowing each other, so I asked you Roger asked for his brooch.”
"No, I won't be surprised if anything happens to Roger. I know that he has the means to fascinate women..." Danglars couldn't help rubbing his palms, "Of course, don't mind if I say this, I believe you must be the most special one among all his women..."
Hesta laughed, "I totally agree with that."
"Let's get down to business," Danglars looked up at Hesta. "What did he say after he read my letter?"
