MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
A SURPRISING CLUE
Why is there a painting of Eliana's baroness here? What exactly is the relationship between baroness Eliana and lord Theo? Is it possible that they actually have a blood relationship? Is that possible?
Ernest wondered inwardly as he looked towards the painting, to make sure that he was not mistakenly guessing that it was Eliana when he was young.
Although since Eliana lost her title and status as empress and baroness because of all the blessings she had done, but until now Ernest is still used to call her the baroness Eliana.
Before there is any real evidence, I must not recklessly assume this case.
Ernest again said inwardly, looking around at the pigorae framing the painting which looked clean and well-preserved, but in fact, it was clear that it was not a new painting, and before it was taken care of properly, it appears that the painting was once a poorly maintained item.
Ernest's eyes narrowed slightly as soon as he saw something different on the left of the painting.
If observed, the color of the wall behind the painting, on the left, appears darker, making Ernest's hand directly outstretched toward the pigora and touched it.
Ernest's hand slightly moved the left side of the pigora to the right to see more clearly, what made the wall at the back of the pigora appear darker.
Ernest immediately held his breath as soon as he saw how after he shifted the pigora to the right side, he said, he saw clearly that behind the painting was a vault whose body was embedded in the wall behind the painting.
The vault that was in a locked position made Ernest had to go back to the action to break the key.
After a few seconds of focusing on the lock of the vault, Ernest finally managed to open it again easily.
As soon as the vault door opened, Ernest could see a pile of steamy objects of cash and pure gold bars stored at the top of the vault rack.
While at the bottom of the shelf, it looks a pile of files neatly arranged in several maps.
Seeing that, with a quick but careful movement, Ernest began to pick up the map and open it one by one.
Some of the maps contain valuable papers, in the form of certificates of several buildings and also land owned by Theo, letters of cooperation contract between Theo and his business partners, and, also a marriage certificate and also the birth of his children.
These files are indeed important files so they are worth keeping in a secret closet. But, I have not been able to find anything that proves anything related to Eliana's baroness, and give info about what Lord Theo's relationship with Eliana's baroness is.
Ernest said inwardly with his hands still busy opening the files.
Ernest instantly stopped the movement of his hand, with enlarged eyes as soon as he opened the last map in the vault, whose position was located at the very bottom of the vault.
“It...” Ernest muttered softly as he kept his body away from the vault, and put the map he held onto the table, and his hand slipped into the back of the black leather jacket he was wearing, he said, and took his phone.
In the last map held by Ernest, there is a paper showing that Theo is still in contact with one of the orphanages quite intensely, and it is an orphanage where he grew up.
Some of the sheets of the paper showed receipts from the orphanage, for a large donation from Theo to the orphanage.
In addition, there are some old photos, which show Theo's past life while in the orphanage, and among some of the photos, there is the figure of Eliana when she was young, while visiting and doing charity work at the orphanage.
Some photos do show how Eliana who appears to hug the figure of an orphanage child which according to Ernest observation is likely Theo in his childhood.
But to make sure that Theo has a close and unusual relationship with Eliana certainly can not just with the photos, some of them also show how Eliana has also hugged other children, although in most of the photos it shows the moment where Eliana is seen with Theo.
Did I misunderstand their relationship? It's possible that the relationship between baroness Eliana and lord Theo, is just a relationship between a donor and an orphanage resident. But what does that painting mean? Is it possible that it was a painting of baroness Eliana and prince Dion as a baby? But it seemed impossible for Mr. Theo to keep a painting that had nothing to do with him, and even make it as a cover from a closet containing his valuables, he said, making the painting has the impression of also a very valuable object for him.
Ernest said while trying to find another clue.
After Ernest returned all the files, Ernest stood back right in front of the painting and stared straight at it, watching it well, though he could not find any other clues.
Ernest almost gave up trying to find another clue until, with the intention of being curious, Ernest grabbed the painting, and removed it from the nail on which it hung.
Coinciding with Ernest pulling the painting and keeping it away from the wall, suddenly several envelopes seemed to fall to the floor.
White envelopes that turned out to be stored by tucking in the back of the pigora of the painting.
Seeing that with a quick movement Ernest shook the painting so that several other envelopes fell back from the back of the pigora.
After that, Ernest deliberately turned the painting upside down, and again, his eyes widened to see how on the back of the painting, where there were no more envelopes stored there, there was a writing that was very strange to him.
A beautiful girl but filled with sadness and regret. I hope this painting can make him rethink not to do things he might regret later. I hope until the end he keeps the handsome baby in his arms, and doesn't throw it away, as he said before I painted it, as his last memory was with his first son Theo William before they parted ways.
To my best friend Eliana,
Tgl xx, month xx, year xxxx
After a few seconds, because of the writing, the, Ernest returns the position of the painting to its place after previously taking a photo of the inscription on the back of the painting that seems to be written by the person who has painted Eliana and the adorable looking handsome baby who it turns out that it was Theo.
