I held tightly in my palm a small bottle that Sally quietly thrust into me. Seeing the unconcealed nervousness in her deep blue eyes, I guessed that there must be something in it that would surprise Loras.
With such a thing in hand, I made up my mind that if that Havre asked me to violate the laws of Lordaeron or take the life of an innocent person, I would refuse him viciously.
However, unexpectedly, he did not seduce or force me to find a way to break the magic chain for him like last time.
Instead, he walked over slowly, and every step seemed to step heavily on my heartbeat!
When my back was extremely stiff, he slowly leaned into my ear and told me the name of a place I had never heard of before - Ravenholdt Manor.
Turning my eyes to the corners of my eyes, I looked nervously at the smelly, messy dark brown curls on the side of my face, "...and then what?"
"No, you just have to find it."
"Is it... a place from which there is no return?"
He chuckled hoarsely a few times, with a strange nostalgia in his voice, "No, no, no, at least, there used to be a...beautiful garden..." He did not continue and stood up straight again. , raised his right index finger burning with black flames, "How about it? Rhea? If you accept it, my contract will be established, and we can go together to smash this damn nightmare... If you shake your head..." At that moment , his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his slender and powerful left hand suddenly reached out and pulled Sally, who was standing aside, into his arms. He pinched her chin with his left hand, and the black flame on his right hand was lit there. In front of the eyes of a silly girl!
"ah!"
My heart was in my throat, I jumped up in surprise, and made a sudden stop gesture to him, but I didn't expect that the small bottle in my palm suddenly fell to the carpet, "...oh..."
"Ha!" Visible to the naked eye, the bad-tempered Harvard raised his eyebrows, revealed a vicious and cruel smile on his lips, and was about to poke his index finger into Sally's eyes.
"Deal!" I almost screamed, "Don't do that! Anything!"
He snorted and waved his finger gently, causing the black flame to float into the center of my eyebrows.
It was exactly the same as that time in Varimathras. Almost instantly, I understood the full meaning of that contract, "Search for Ravenholdt Manor."
"...I accept." I said softly.
As soon as I finished speaking, cold and hot energy penetrated my soul and spread to every corner.
He finally pushed away the shivering Sally, "Then, let's go and see what we can do." The moment he turned around, he did not forget to warn me in his soft and hoarse voice, "Lea, be early. Go find that place and don’t let someone keep reminding you.”
Um? !

I have no idea why Loras led us out the door as if he knew something.
After a pause, I picked up the letter that he had thrown into a ball on the ground, folded it again, and pressed it under the candlestick. Then I ran down the steps of the door and followed him.
When passing by the big tree with only half of its trunk left after being bombed, Loras kicked the big treasure shining with purple-red light to me.
"Where are you taking us?" Looking at the string of dark World Tree seed-shaped earrings that were getting farther and farther away, I couldn't help but raise my voice, "Do you know where those trolls live?!"
He didn't look back, "Humph, do they live in that house?"
I shut my mouth.
"Messiah!" Sally next to me quietly grabbed my arm. It was obvious that she was extremely nervous, and her fingers almost dug into my flesh. "Do we really want to follow him?! He just said What are you talking about?! He's in jail! He's a criminal!"
"...So, you should stay in the house..."
"No! Don't even think about kicking me away! God knows what I've been through!"
