“Someone wanted me to deliver a message to you without the sender revealing herself. Do you want to listen to it?”
“Is it a letter?” Amoreta stretched her neck to see Evangeline’s hand, but she didn’t open her tightly clenched fist.
“No, it’s dangerous, so I told her to deliver it verbally. Listen carefully. Don’t miss a single word.”
Where did her playful demeanor from earlier go? She stared at Amoreta with deep brown eyes, her expression serious.
“‘I’m glad to see that you escaped safely from Rishan. Thank you for keeping the promise from five years ago. I’m glad you seem to be in good health.'” Evangeline spoke in a soft voice. Although there was no one nearby, and even if there was, her voice was so soft that it wouldn’t be heard over the sound of the wind or the crickets chirping.
“Lishan?” Amoreta’s mind shook at her words when a distant fragment of memory tried to resurface.
“’ If you want to leave the Prince’s side, come and find me.'” Evangeline finished speaking and showed Amoreta the object she had been holding.
“This is!” Amoreta’s eyes widened. Her heartbeat quickened, and her beautiful eyes resembling amethysts became moist. She gently stroked the object that Evangeline had been holding. It was undoubtedly the scented pouch she had given to her benefactor five years ago. A connection she thought she would never encounter again was actually close by.
“Do you——— Do you know that person? Where on earth?”
“Sorry, but this is the end of the message I was supposed to deliver.” Evangeline clenched her fist again and swiftly took the scented pouch away.
“When I feel unhappy by His Highness’s side, I must come and find her? But who is that person————” Amoreta analyzed the message she had heard a moment ago with a mixture of shock, joy, and a hint of worry. “Does that person dislike His Highness?”
“Well… I told you not to go that far. But if you think about what I just said, won’t you find the answer?”
Evangeline circled her words like a mischievous child. Amoreta reviewed what she had said.
“There is a woman who genuinely likes the Prince.” Those words could also be interpreted as ‘all the other women Evangeline knew disliked Paris’. And she clearly knew who Amoreta’s benefactor was. Amoreta’s heart sank a little.
“I love His Highness.”
“I know.” Evangeline shrugged as if she had anticipated everything. “That person said so. Even if she tells you to come immediately, you wouldn’t really go with me. So if your thoughts change, just tell me.” Amoreta’s mind became even more confused.
“You’re a lucky person, aren’t you?” Evangeline stared intently at Amoreta with a severe expression.
“What?”
“That person has a scary side, but surprisingly with you——-
Evangeline seemed about to say something intriguing, but she closed her mouth as if she had thought of something. “Anyway, I’ve delivered the message. You must understand that it’s a secret to the Prince, right? I’m just here to catch a runaway bat.”
Evangeline tapped the pocket. Something small rustled inside. As she was about to turn away, she seemed to remember something and opened her mouth again.
“Oh, by the way, if you change your mind, please place a small item you have on the eastern windowsill. It would be better if it’s something shiny. Then I will understand and convey it to that person. Writing a long letter is dangerous.”
“What? But how can I…”
“And here’s some advice.” Ignoring Amoreta’s question, Evangeline continued speaking. “Don’t linger too long. If you stay by the Prince’s side for too long, you might get entangled to the point where you can’t escape.”
Without waiting for Amoreta’s response, she quickly left the garden. freewe(b)novel
“Did you do everything?”
“Of course. I don’t really understand it, though.” 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶
Evangeline grumbled in response to Apollonia’s question. At the same time, she opened the bag with one hand and released the bat.
“There, there. Behave yourself now.”
“What don’t you understand?”
“When I said I didn’t want to cooperate, you started threatening me!” Evangeline shouted with frustration.
“Who was the one who said that if I was kidnapped, it would be a business deal and they wouldn’t help me without a price?”
When Apollonia asked, Evangeline hunched her shoulders and lowered her voice. “I didn’t really plan to say that. And later…”
Caelion kneeled down, didn’t he? Well, this time it’s over. Ultimately, I did receive help.”
As Evangeline seemed to want to make more excuses, Apollonia gestured for her to stop. Evangeline smiled slightly, as if she had regained her composure, and spoke again.
“Why didn’t you ask her to come and meet you immediately?”
“She feels grateful towards me, but she loves Paris more. It’s risky to reveal my identity.”
Apollonia spoke with a hint of bitterness. Evangeline seemed indifferent to that bitterness and continued to ask.
