“…What? What do you mean? I came all this way because of Harrison, and now you’re telling me he’s not here… C-could it be… on Noctium Street 61…?”

No. That can’t be. I came all this way for Harrison. Every step I took, I was hoping he was safe.

Aurora, noticing the grim look on my face, quickly added an explanation.

“No. No, that’s not it. He was with us when we arrived.”

Apparently, Prince Lloyd had sent Harrison outside the palace, claiming it was to search for me.

Aurora leaned in, whispering into my ear, ensuring that Lady Cotton and Lady Seymour wouldn’t overhear.

“One of the soldiers who left with Attorney Howard is on Prince Theodore’s side. The two of them plan to ditch the soldiers and return. Trust Mr. Howard.”
