Chapter 60 – Part 1

Now he thought that maybe it was all his misunderstanding. So he set out to find out the truth. Just then, Carmen came and confessed, saying, ‘Actually, I was continuing the investigation entrusted by Milord.’

In fact, she didn’t even have to confess. Because he already knew.

He who lost his memories had written it in the diary. …And to some extent, he agreed with the version of himself who lost his memories.

About his suspicions that Missus Seymour might have stirred up a wedge between him and Lily.

‘I think the results will be out within the next week. I found a clue.’

So he said he would wait. When Carmen’s investigation result came out..… It would finally become clear. That he had only misunderstood Lily.

‘…No.’

Theodore grabbed his brother’s coin.

No, perhaps his heart already knew.

Lily is innocent.

There was no need to toss a coin to test fate, like a habit. It could no longer be denied that her hatred of Everett was not a lie. Lily was not on one side with those devils. Rather, she continuously…

Tried to be on his side.

‘…But.’

He ignored all that sincerity and trampled on her heart.

Just because of a stupid misunderstanding.

“…….”

Theodore pressed his lips together and lowered his head… Now, he’d have to find her, after reading that letter. But… Once he’d find her… Could she forgive him?

‘…I told you, Theodore. I resent you.’

What if it has already become irreversible.

Then…… How can he atone for it?

‘Theo, listen carefully. You can’t hurt people’s hearts… Well, in fact, sometimes hurtful things happen inevitably. Between people… There are many things that don’t go your way. But you know.’

While saying that, his older brother who had the coin in his hand was making a rather serious face. It was one day in the past when his older brother, Camillus, was twenty, and Theodore himself was nineteen.

‘…If you hurt someone, you will be hurt just as much later. And maybe one day you’ll regret it. Why am I suddenly talking about this… Mhh.’

On that day, his older brother seemed particularly confused. At the time, he thought his older brother was a little annoying… Not knowing what will happen in a few days.

‘So I mean… ke-hum… Ah, I don’t know! Just hold on to this coin! If you ever regret something later, take out this coin and remember what I said! Got it?’

He already knew what the coin was. Because his older brother taught him many times before.

The result of the coin toss was dependent on luck. And that luck depends on God’s will.

He thought it was just nonsense.

However, after his older brother passed away, he used this coin to foretell his fortune as a habit. At some point it became so.

Perhaps, by tossing this coin, it may have soothed his longing for his older brother.

And… It’s only after something like this happens that he regrets it.

He remembered what his older brother had said when he gave this coin.

Really, it was too late.

The divorce papers were thrown into the fire and burned along with the firewood. His decision was firm.

‘I don’t want it to end this way. Even if you come to resent me.’

He had denied his feelings for her for so long that it was now difficult to draw a clear picture of it. But the one thing that’s clear was this: he couldn’t let her go.

He needed to find her, to see her face, to hear her voice… Then, he would know for sure. He would know what his own feelings were, and he would know what he really wanted…

“Move out.”

“Yes!”

Theodore led the way on horseback, and the knights followed. It’s still early in the morning, so there will be traces of the group on the roadside, so chasing them wouldn’t be difficult.

But with the help of a veteran… things would get tricky. They would likely have erased all their traces.

‘I have no choice but to hurry.’

In case they would miss the trail, they had set up another team to find out where Lily had been.

However, the investigation would take three days at the earliest… In the meantime, Lily would have already run away.

‘…No. At this rate.’

He could never let her go. Never.

“Ha-yah!”

Theodore sped up his horse. The horse that was carrying him ran along the road much faster than before. Even in the middle of the road, the monstrous sight caught every trace of the roadside.

…There are faint traces of a carriage running towards the southeast of Veronis. It seemed like they tried to get rid of their trail by hanging an open bag of soil at the end of the carriage, but they couldn’t completely get rid of it.

‘To the southeast… Are you going to Dornach via Hermann by boat?’
