I have so little mory of what happened last night. I couldnt recall properly as my head was hurt like crazy as if soone hamred it. This was a pretty familiar feeling. A hangover.
Ouch..
If I drank again, I should just be a dog, really.
I looked around and found myself on the bed in my room. I still cant really rember, but it seed that I returned safely.
[You werent drunk, were you?]
Suddenly, Sigren and Livyas faces appeared in my mory.
I couldnt help but whimpered, grabbing my aching head, while trying to search for my mories. I was sure I didnt do anything weird. Fortunately, I wasnt blacked out.
I rembered that I did hug Sigren. Then, it seed like we have talked for quite so ti.
I brought myself to focus. I hope I truly didnt say anything weird.
Fionacomfortablewhats going onhuh? Letter?
Ah, I think I told him. Then I gradually rembered what happened in the carriage last night. The way Sigren smiled beautifully, kissed my face, and gently soothed appeared in my head.
As soon as those scenes ca to my mind, I was dumbfounded. I threw a pillow in embarrassnt. I was so pathetic, damn. My lover used his beauty to retrieve so information from and the worst part I fall for it! So pathetic.
I grabbed my thick hair while whimpering for a while.
In the end, I could barely co to my sense after drinking the tea that Celine brought for to cure my hangover.
Great.. Celine, did anything strange happen to Prince Sigren, yesterday?
Yes. He took you ho young lady, and went out right away.
Hes never the type to let so matters slide.
I sighed. For now, lets just do what we have to do.
Anyway, the morning hours were blown away by the hangover. In the end, I dealt with the paperwork in the afternoon.
And in the late afternoon, the main culprit who disturbed my mind ca.
Do you rember? Sigren looked at curiously.
Of course!
He giggled at my angry face, and quickly put his lips to my cheek.
I was stunned by that shaless look. How could you use beauty trick on a drunk person!
Its your fault falling for it.
Thats true.
Sigren chuckled as if he liked my angry reaction. I myself also couldnt believe that the Heilon successor could fall on my beauty trick.
You too would have this kind of regret soday, I replied sullenly. The reality of this third-rate novel struck so hard. Why did I have to like him too much? Why was his face to my liking? This was truly saddening. I like him so much that I couldnt even defend myself from his beauty and blow it all while drunk.
Eventually, I changed the subject. So, what did you do with the information that you took from , Your Highness?
How do you think I would handle it? Sigren had a subtle smile on his lips. Then he stroked my cheek and lowered his head. Hmm? Dear, the lady who secretly hid her love letter?
.
Lord, he was really angry, wasnt he?
I bit my lower lip carelessly. But he gently swept my lips with his thumb. Eventually, I stopped biting my lower lip.
Well, then, lets assu the worst for now.
I looked into his eyes, you didnt kill him, did you?
Sigren smiled. It was usually a beautiful smile, but at this ti, that smile was a bit unsettling.
No.
It was a relief for now.
Then, what did you do?
I did so research on a man nad Bill Curtis. No matter how you look at it, hes not a good man at all.
Suddenly, what Bill said to ca to my mind.
[I know Lady Fiona very well.]
It may be just so random words, but sohow it also bothered .
What was the result?
He is busy with many things. Also, his fortune has been increasing quite a bit lately.
Oh, good. Should I poke Arrendt with this information? Tax evasion investigation? Nice.
He also makes an interesting claim. He said he has returned alive from the darkness and found a new salvation in it. Also, he said he found the truth for the people.
I think I heard a story like this. Livya seed to have said sothing similar.
[He ca back alive from the darkness,]
So.. a con artist?
Maybe. But, in practice, his argunt seems to have worked quite well. A lot of people pay him.
Why did those people believe that nonsense?
Ah, suddenly I rembered what Donna, an academy researcher, had told before.
[So people say that the darkness appears because the god is angry. Well, even in this town, there are people who believe that God punished them for doing sothing wrong. I also heard rumor that a new religion related to it has been circulating.]
Right, Ive heard sothing like that. Of course, when I heard about that from Donna, I laughed it off, because I knew the darkness was not a divine punishnt or sothing.
So, it seed the rumor started from that guy.
Anyway, now I could guess why Bill Curtis wanted to drag on. Right. Because I actually blocked the darkness and ca back alive and kicking well. I would be a good token to prove his point.
Sigren continued, Actually, his followers are not simply the nobles. Rather, it is said that his most passionate followers are those who have loved ones to the darkness.
Why?
Well, maybe its because the feeling of grabbing the last straw.
Sigren spoke in a low voice.
People can never resist the light that appears in from of them when they are in the most desperate.
After saying that, Sigren looked at blankly.
After listening to Sigrens story, I decided to ignore Bill Curtis. He seed to be a person with a position similar to that of the cult leader of pseudo-religion.
Most people are afraid of the darkness, but he worshiped it. This fact alone has made uncomfortable. And when I thought about Bill Curtis words and deeds, it made very bothered and very uncomfortable. However, if I went straight to him and asked him about it, it was the sa as admitting that he has a point. On top of that, I also couldnt attack him simply because I was offended. First of all, he was also the head of a decent noble family in the capital. If I did sothing wrong, it could lead to a family-to-family fight.
In any case, there was no doubt that he was not a good human being. Once I got sothing on him, there would be no way I would let it go.
Then I spent my daily activity after making such a resolution.
However, contrary to my expectations that it was just a cult, the situation seed to beco worse.
