Chapter 257
“…As a relative, I… was worried since she hasn’t returned.”
“This is the women’s lodging. Even as a priest, you shouldn’t be here.”
It was one of the cathedral workers. Fortunately, the excuse seemed to work, and there were no further questions. Dullan stepped back. The worker closed the door, locked it, and then proceeded to open the room next door, beginning to pack up the belongings inside.
“What… a-are you doing?”
“The young lady who was staying here has decided to return home. I’m packing her things. Are you going to keep watching?”
The worker eyed Dullan warily, then glanced sideways at the clothing, jewelry, and other items made of gold, silver, and gemstones. If Dullan hadn’t been standing there, it looked like the worker might have pocketed some of the valuables.
“Aren’t you going… to pack Carynne Hare’s belongings?”
“Well, I’m not sure, I only heard about Miss Isella Evans returning home.”
Dullan could do nothing but stand there dumbfounded, watching as the worker packed up all of Isella’s belongings. He was confused. Where had Carynne Hare gone?
Even after a day or two, it didn’t seem like anyone had touched Carynne’s belongings. Unlike with Isella, no one came to pack her things, and Carynne herself hadn’t returned.
“Dullan, you may not know this, but young people staying here often take overnight trips.”
