Chapter 492
"My Lady, that is a children’s tale, however. It is so they learn that greediness does not bring any good... Spirits are known for being mischievous, maybe they wanted to trick the Lady."
"They did seem playful, however... I do not think they were lying." — Recalling the names they mentioned, it could not be a lie... at least that was what I thought. And even if it was a lie, there was no proof for myself to think it was. — "I actually saw it above us... at least the eye on us is not a lie."
"..."
"I think I need to see Paul and ask him what he knows about this."
"?! What? No, my lady. Why would you need to see him because of this?!"
"He said someone was aiding him. It might be that witch... If not, it does not make sense it was so easy for him to take me from the palace that night. That eye in the sky must have something to do with it, the fairies also said that the witch did something with it because she was near recently. It could be that it helped Paul to take me from here more easily."
"My Lady, I understand your reasons yet do not do it yourself. I will do it in your stead. Please do not expose yourself to him who only harms you with his being!"
"... I doubt he will tell it to anyone else." — Aware of the source of his reticence I said, squeezing the hold he had of my hands, also disliking the idea. — "Much less to yourself, your Highness... he... he despises you the most as far as I know..."
"It’s good it’s mutual. I’ll take the truth out of him by force if needed. So please let me be the one to do it."
"... pff- haha... I appreciate your good intentions yet I still believe it is best if I do it myself."
