There have been widespread names and weird names, names that had been common amongst the youth and others that had been archaic; some had been even ladies’s names and males’s names.

Nonetheless, there have been no final names. Moreover, Elisha didn’t acknowledge any of them. That was much more peculiar.

It was as a result of Elisha by no means forgot the names of individuals she had heard as soon as. When she met an individual as soon as, she made positive to memorize their face and title. She acquired and honed this ability after studying particular memorization strategies as an grownup. It was a requirement if she was going to work and survive beneath Jacob.

‘Pian… … this title. Umm, I can’t place it however, I feel I’ve heard it someplace earlier than.’

Elisha held the title tag and scrutinized it for some time.

‘I will need to have met somebody with this title earlier than. The place have I met you…? … .’

It was positively the title of somebody she had met when she was very younger.

It was when she was misplaced in thought. Simply … … . nearly… to recollect it— It was on the tip of her reminiscence.

Elisha unconsciously fiddled along with her locket hanging round her neck. The heavy locket, which contained the traditional gold coin, didn’t rattle as a result of it had a flaw on the within.

‘Why did I contact this?’

When Elisha caught herself doing this, she was perplexed. However it appeared her unconscious was telling her there was a connection between these two utterly various things. It definitely felt like a clue.

Then—Slam. There was the sound of a door opening. Elisha’s eyes widened. She by no means actually thought Lucerne would come.

And immediately, the stupidest ideas of her total life occupied her head: She recalled and was aware of her look.

When she got here to the Crimson Membership, she wore a black hat. The mesh veil on the hat lined half of Elisha’s face. She then painted her lips purple and wore a black costume that confirmed off the curves of her physique. She needed to costume like this so she might enter the membership.

Often, drunkards mistook her for a courtesan who labored there and aggressively pursued her.

‘I’m glad I’m overlaying up my burn scars immediately.’

Elisha questioned if she would seem no less than a bit little bit of a lady to him or no less than seem much less ugly in entrance of him than earlier than.

These idiotic ideas had been intrusive, and she or he was unable to suppress them. So what if she didn’t look as ugly? How might she neglect her place and need to look fairly to Lucerne?

Lucerne entered the room, and she or he stated nothing.

“I used to be questioning what sort of lure I’d encounter immediately.”

“… … .”

“It was a cuter lure than I assumed,”

Lucerne laughed. Elisha realized that he was drunk. He was staggering, though he regarded languid and easy as standard. Elisha took a step again.

“Are you alright?”

She didn’t know find out how to discuss to the person. She hesitated and requested quietly.

“I simply returned from the battlefield. So I took a painkiller.”

That day, if Elisha had been a bit extra rational, she would have realized it was a hallucinogen.

“What’s the deal you need to do with me?”

Elisha couldn’t perceive what he meant. Lucerne took one other step nearer.

“Did you name me since you had been lonely?”

She knew that he would tease her like a gangster.

“I heard you had been sick. Are you unable to talk correctly?”

Lucerne whispered. Her coronary heart was beating so loud now that she felt as if she would faint if she uttered the slightest phrase.

How exceedingly laughable that her coronary heart was pounding like this regardless that she knew it was a lightweight flirtation. Possibly one thing was broken inside, Elisha thought.

“I assumed I informed you to remain out of my sight.”

“… … .”

“It’s not sort of you to name me this manner.”

Lucerne smiled. She raised her head and met his eyes.

What might she say?

What might he be pondering?

This synthetic her head clean simply by making eye contact along with her. She bit her lip.

“Did your grasp order you to name me?”

“… … Sure.”

That was the reply Elisha lastly got here up with.

‘Pian?’

Solely then did Elisha bear in mind. It was an previous reminiscence. It abruptly got here to thoughts when she met Lucerne.

She ought to have stored her mouth shut, then.

She ought to have identified that he was slowly studying the title tags with languid eyes in entrance of every chair on the desk.

She ought to have acknowledged Lucerne’s change of air. As an alternative, her acute survival intuition, which had shrewdly preserved her life up to now, failed earlier than him.

“I’ve met a person named Pian.”

“Actually?”

“Sure. A very long time in the past… … . I feel it was once I was younger.”

Lucerne didn’t reply. He walked slowly across the desk. Elisha was bowled over by his bloodthirsty air.

“What did you say?”

Lucerne uttered with the utmost affection.

“They are saying hell resents me?”

“… … Sure?”

“You’re the similar.”

Lucerne muttered. She raised her head at his phrases, which she didn’t perceive. Her physique continued to tremble from his threatening aura.

“You’re the similar,”

Lucerne muttered once more. He was abruptly livid. In his eyes flared a ardour like a chilly flame and fierce hatred.

“Who ordered you—Jacob? Or, Carola? You need to mock me once more for that?”

“Ah!”

He approached. Elisha reflexively took a step again. All of the sudden, the wall hit her again. Her eyes trembled.

“I don’t know something,”

Elisha barely managed to state calmly. As an alternative, he put his hand on the sword at his waist.

After which it occurred.
