They arrived at the Midgraff family residence without any obstacles or obstructions.
Getting off the train, Bellena then rushes to Ashley's room to retrieve her prosthetic leg. The knight of the Derius family who had finished fulfilling his duty to escort Ashley until the goal was too good to return.
The woman, who was still sitting in her family's private transport, stared at the man who was also sitting quietly in front of her.
"Didn't it go down?"
"I must accompany my future wife setid-"
Ashley's hand quickly smothered the man's mouth and pressed him firmly.
"By the way again the cave ripped your mouth."
Daryl nodded while showing a smile in his eyes. Ashley, who used the term only to play around with Daryl, now feels at home every time the man says it.
After the release of the clot, a smile appeared on Daryl's lips that did not disappear even though Ashley continued to look at him coldly. He no longer understood the way the man thought.
At first he only let the man do what he wanted because Ashley kept thinking about Kenny when she saw him. From carrying her, taking her cane, to coming home with her in one car.
Not only Bellena, the coachman and his kernet were very surprised to see their lady who was only silent when held and very tolerant of all the actions of Mr. Ristoff.
So did the two men who worked for Daryl. Looking at his over-happy master, they were made to almost mistake him. Then according to his orders, Daryl's carriage followed Ashley's carriage from behind, empty without passengers.
With Daryl's repeated mention of the words 'prospective husband' and 'wife-to-be', a misunderstanding that was initially only felt by the knights of the Derius family eventually spread to everyone who heard it.
After that, rumors about their relationship spread quickly and became a hot topic. Of course, it can not be separated from the testimony of the guests who saw Daryl defending Ashley, the knight who escorted the woman, both subordinates of Daryl, and also two subordinates of Ashley.
Despite what will happen the next day, Ashley doesn't actually remember who Daryl is. He didn't even remember the name of the person he challenged at the stick shop.
All he knows is that Daryl is unemployed, and Ristoff is a gagun, aka a gaun. He did not think that the unemployed and the gagun were the same person. The real thing actually made the impression of the man to be 2 times worse.
After mentioning Ashley who lied to her and used the name Bellena, the woman came to her senses. No wonder the man's voice sounded familiar to him.
"Lo"
Daryl nodded before Ashley finished her words. The woman then paused for a moment and thought.
"So lo-"
*this time Daryl shook his head before Ashley finished speaking. He assumed that Ashley suspected him of deliberately following the woman to the casino because of the challenge.
Ashley then narrowed her eyes in doubt and was only reciprocated with a smile by her*.
Bellena could only smile at the incomplete conversation that was strangely understood by the two people there.
After learning who Daryl is, Ashley's tolerance increases. Maybe because of his resemblance to Kenny, or because he innocently likes a woman like Ashley, or maybe because he looks like a child to the woman. Certainly not because of his higher position than Vincent.
After waiting for a while with Daryl on the train, Bellena came up with two large wooden boxes. While running, he approached Ashley.
While managing her gasping breath in a hurry, Bellena handed the box to Ashley.
The incision of the long dress that the woman was wearing and the installation of the wooden leg. When finished, Ashley got up and intended to get off the train.
Realizing that, Daryl turned around and extended his hand offering help. Ashley glanced at the man before then welcoming Daryl's hand.
After Ashley came down from there and looked at her with a gaze as if saying 'what else?', Daryl lowered his head in greeting and resigned himself.
The look of a satisfied face was clearly drawn on his face. He kept smiling until he entered his carriage.
Ashley shook her head in astonishment as she walked in followed Bellena who was carrying two empty wooden boxes.
Returning to the main destination, upon arriving in the room, Ashley immediately searched the entire place looking for the whereabouts of Ashelia's diary. Because Bellena who is Ashelia's personal servant did not know it, Ashley was forced to search all corners of the room.
His suspicion of Bellena increased because of it. Could it be that Ashelia hid it because Bellena was her true target?
Realizing Ashley's suspicions as well as being unable to prove her innocence, Bellena could only remain silent while praying. Ashley deliberately told him to shut up for fear that if Bellena found the book first, he would hide it.
1 minute, 2 minutes...
Every minute felt so long for Bellena that her life was at stake there. About half an hour later, the book was finally found.
Behind one of the painting frames in his room, a plain book with a light blue cover sealed with a key was found. Ashley then walked towards the sofa, preparing to read the contents of the book.
The key?
Ashley has no key. But who needs the key? Although the front and back covers are associated with metal plates designed to lock the book, the book covers are still made of wood coated with paper. He just needs to tear the back and back of the book.
It might have been easier to use a letter knife, but Ashley did not feel it was necessary. After tearing a bit of the joint apart for the trigger, he instantly tore the cover of Ashelia's diary tightly. It was so strong that the thin wood broke and his hand could not be moved because it was very painful.
Daryl would be angry if he saw it.
But this time Ashley was really impatient, and every time she remembered Ashelia she became very upset and it was hard to hold back.
He saw the first page of the book which is now displayed so clearly. There were no other words written there except the name of the girl he hated so much. Directly torn the first page with his left hand without a stale base.
The removal of the paper later, when knowing the back of the torn paper was also just a blank page.
Ashley then opened the middle of the book, looking for a page that would otherwise hold the information she needed. The last few pages there are just full of Kenny's name. The curse he wrote after his return from Ashley's world.
Search the pages before that. There are some names written there. Among them there are names that continue to be repeated many times.
Bellene.
