“Baron Bruno threw himself into the river?”
Aiden, who was beside me, answered for me whereas I stood nonetheless, unable to talk. Rex hesitated and nodded.
Aiden murmured, “What day is it at the moment?” and pulled nearer and hugged me. Though I might inform he was attempting to calm me down first, I assumed he should be confused himself.
“However why do they need to meet you?”
As he patted my shoulder, Aiden uttered these phrases. He spoke in a considerably irritated tone.
“As a result of we had been the final folks to fulfill Baron Bruno.”
“Ha, perhaps I ought to have gone.”
“No, I believe it was applicable so that you can be within the citadel on condition that the Grand Duke awoke at the moment.”
“What’s occurring with our youngest.. Mary, are you okay?”
Aiden gave me a worried-looking look as he and Rex had been conversing.
I nodded weakly. I didn’t need to trigger any extra concern amidst the chaotic state of affairs, however I couldn’t assist however really feel exhausted.
“If it’s an excessive amount of for you, I’ll come and see them.”
“No, let’s go collectively…”
“Don’t push your self.”
“No. It’s not like I’m not acquainted with Baron Bruno, so after all I’ve to cooperate.”
It will have been good if we weren’t acquainted.
However one thing nonetheless appeared off. Undoubtedly, they had been the identical individual I had been talking with simply moments earlier…
After all, I didn’t have good emotions for Baron Bruno, however it was unusual to suppose that I’d by no means see him once more.
After making such a determined plea to seek out Sophia Bruno, I can’t imagine he did so simply?
“Uh, are you okay?”
As I walked, misplaced in my ideas about Baron Bruno, my leg turned tangled, inflicting me to stagger for a second, however Aiden’s expression, who supported me by the facet, turned critical.
If it had been regular, he would have teased me for being flimsy, however as an alternative, he appeared involved concerning the situation of my ankle.
“Does your ankle harm if I contact it?”
“No. It’s just a bit slip.”
“Watch out. No, significantly, your ankle can slot in my hand. It’s so fragile.”
Aidan clicked his tongue, showing dissatisfied with how my ankle might slot in his one hand as he examined it .
Perhaps it’s as a result of you have got huge fingers. Feeling awkward for no motive, I slipped my ankle out of Aiden’s hand. It’s not the time to do that.
“Individuals shall be ready.”
“Sister, I’ll go alone.”
“Sure, Mary. You don’t should go.”
“No.”
As soon as extra, Aiden and Rex tried to cease me, however I merely shook my head.
If I went into the room and rested, I felt my thoughts can be stuffed with the ideas of the Grand Duke, which might solely make me extra uneasy.
Nonetheless, why did Baron Bruno all of the sudden commit suicide?
Baron Bruno’s eyes twinkled as if he had seen his final hope after I earlier promised that I’d discover a solution to deliver Sofia Bruno again.
It was troublesome to think about that the identical particular person would come to such a conclusion on their very own.
I felt like he wouldn’t die till we discovered Sophia.
“At a time when father is just not utterly…….”
As we headed to the corridor the place the servant was ready, Aiden murmured in a troubled method. The second I heard the murmur, my coronary heart ached.
I all of the sudden felt like a crusing ship adrift on an enormous ocean; there isn’t a Grand Duke Estin to assist me now, it doesn’t matter what occurs.
I’ve Aidan and Rex by my facet, and if crucial, Gilbert or Theodore, and even Lucas would assist me wholeheartedly. However…
You stated you’d filter any obstacles in my path…….
It might be presumptuous, however I resent Grand Duke Estin for dropping his reminiscence, and the kindness in his eyes as he checked out Tia Bluea.
I ought to be grateful that Grand Duke Estin awoke like this, however how can he lose his reminiscence?
With a posh coronary heart, I arrived on the corridor, the place the person who gave the impression to be an worker of Baron Bruno and Logan had been engaged in a critical dialog. It appeared that Logan talked to Baron Bruno’s man first as a result of he was once his aide.
“Oh, you’re right here.”
I greeted them politely, noting their grim faces.
Come to consider it, Logan was the baroness’ sister. He should be extra confused than anybody else right here.
“Thanks for forgiving us for coming to the Grand Duchy on such quick discover. I cannot overlook your kindness for opening the citadel gate. There’s something written about Grand Princess Conler within the will, so I assumed I ought to present it. And because you had been the final individual he talked to, earlier than he…….”
He was pale as if he was sorry to have come to the Grand Duchy in a rush. I used to be somewhat shocked too when I discovered my identify in Baron Bruno’s will.
Baron Bruno all of the sudden stopped his carriage and disappeared, saying he wished to take a stroll alongside the river banks.
He left a will contained in the carriage. With trembling fingers, I took the be aware from the servant.
The be aware was clearly written in a rush. Logan, who peeked on the be aware beside me, spoke.
“That’s the baron’s handwriting.”
It’s not a nice factor to learn somebody’s suicide be aware, however I used to be interested by Baron Bruno’s psychological state.
The contents of the suicide be aware had been easy. The primary content material was that he couldn’t dwell after dropping his solely daughter.
There have been additionally transient reflections and regrets about his youthful sister. It was so believable. Due to this fact, I felt much more uncomfortable.
And there was a agency request to not dig into Sofia’s whereabouts, with a honest apology for altering his thoughts.
He hoped there have been no extra sacrifices, and he stated he would pay for the sins he had dedicated in hell.
“Was the Grand princess, by any likelihood, capable of finding out the whereabouts of Woman Sofia?”
I hesitated for a second on the servant’s query. Baron Bruno had stated one thing about all of it being as much as me, however I used to be nonetheless attempting to determine how.
However why did he all of the sudden change his thoughts like this? Considering again to his glistening gaze earlier, he wasn’t somebody who would simply change his thoughts. Irrespective of how a lot I thought of it, it didn’t make sense.
He confirmed such an immense obsession find Sophia, so it was unthinkable that he made this selection. It bothered me extra as a result of he was an individual I simply talked to.
Furthermore, the final time we noticed him, he was not the Baron Bruno we normally see, however only a father apprehensive about his daughter. My abdomen sank somewhat as my thoughts naturally considered Grand Duke Estin.
“Huh?”
Trying on the contents of the suicide be aware with combined emotions, I discovered a really small X on the nook of the be aware.
“Now, please return it…”
As I caught my nostril within the be aware in panic, the servant fidgeted and held out his hand. I handed it over as if possessed.
“Thanks on your cooperation.”
“I didn’t assist a lot.”
The baron’s servant ultimately left, unable to resolve his frustration.
When Aiden muttered that he hoped they wouldn’t come again rapidly like this once more, they hurriedly left, leaving solely apologies behind.
As quickly as they had been gone, Logan grabbed my shoulder and requested.
“What was written within the suicide be aware earlier? Can you discover Woman Sofia?”
“It’s simply… Baron Bruno requested me to seek out Sofia, and he additionally talked about his sister within the be aware…….”
“That was it? Why did he ask you to seek out Sofia Bruno?”
I regarded away at Logan’s sharp query. My thoughts was racing.
Having seen the “X” signal on the be aware, I used to be sure that Baron Bruno didn’t take his personal life on his personal.
“The be aware stated to not search for Sofia anymore.”
I didn’t need to speak about this matter any extra. Logan regarded like he wished to say one thing, however after I continued to evade him, he lastly gave up and turned away.
As I turned to depart, Rex grabbed me.
“You’re not going to inform Logan?”
“Sure, by no means.”
“Why not? , you’re at risk proper now and so is the Grand Duke.”
“Rex.”
Rex, who was attempting to influence me with an earnest voice, checked out me along with his blue eyes. These glowing blue eyes had been as clear as a pristine sea.
“, if I ever disappear…”
“I’ll go speak to Mr. Logan.”
“Wait!”
Rex’s expression hardened directly after I introduced up the supposition. I circled and desperately held onto Rex’s arm.
“No, don’t inform him.”
“Then ought to I inform brother Gilbert?”
“By no means……. Don’t inform anybody.”
“What’s occurring?”
“Really, I want you’d overlook.”
Logan is aware of rather a lot concerning the underworld. X killed Baron Bruno. He left a mark within the suicide be aware that I might acknowledge.
Don’t let anybody else learn about Sofia’s whereabouts anymore. It was a warning to me.
“Each time sister does one thing like this, I actually…….”
“Rex, no.”
“It breaks my coronary heart as a result of I’m nonetheless like somewhat child.”
