Chapter 23: Stolen Property
"Before I decide anything, tell me what you need help with." At least Cyril was curious to hear what else has happened in this short time.
"Of course, I almost forgot," Cedric was still keeping the same bowing pose. "Back when Anna was kidnapped, it turns out they also stole some of her things from the dormitory."
They could reach the dormitory?"That's weird."
"It's fine if it was just the money; life is more important after all, but they happened to steal an important bracelet." He paused for a few seconds. "We want you to help us get it back..."
Afraid he would decline. Anna lowered her head even further. "Please! That was the last thing left to remind me of my mom. I need to get it back," she pleaded in a pitiful voice.
Cedric continued again. "They're probably holding it in one of the hideouts around the city. If we can get the help of your butterfly, we could find it in no time."
Cyril was silent for a time, mulling over their proposal.
Something about Anna's desperate plea did touch his heart, and, like Rhamn said, it could be fun. Morpho was also in support of the idea; she landed on Anna's head.
"Sure, I'll help you. Let's hope we can get it down by sundown." They still had lessons tomorrow after all.
Cedric almost jumped up from joy, scaring Morpho sitting nearby. "Thank you, Cyril! You are truly a good person!"
Anna similarly had joy in her eyes, she could already see the bracelet back in her possession
