"Alas--!?"
Xi Rui, who had originally wanted to sneak past these people, was frightened when her name was called.
"?"
Xirui's strange reaction made the three of them stunned, and they all looked at her in confusion.
"What’s wrong with you?"
“Ah! I, I, I…”
Xi Rui replied incoherently,
"Um, by the way, I'm feeling a little unwell, so the chef asked me to go back early..."
"...What? It turns out you're not feeling well. I thought you were up to something bad."
“… …”
Xirui's face turned pale in an instant, and her hands tightly grasped her clothes.
"Uh... You look terrible. It seems like the problem is really serious. You should go back quickly!"
"yes... ..."
Xirui answered in a voice as thin as a mosquito, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she remained standing where she was.
"Okay, let's get down to business!"
Fortunately, the three people in front of him did not suspect Xi Rui's suspicious behavior.
The three of them walked straight towards the kitchen.
"Wait...that's not right!"
Just as Xirui was about to move her feet, her body froze again.
"You kid, you just messed around with the ticket thing!"
"Tsk! Did you find out so quickly?"
The man smacked his lips and actually ran away.
"This guy! He actually ran away!"
"Chase him! He must have extra tickets. Catch him—!"
The other two also ran to catch up.
“… …”
After the three of them left, Xi Rui seemed to have used up all her strength, and her legs almost gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
Then she carefully identified the direction and staggered towards the direction of leaving the mansion...
"Hulim, you really love sweets. The staff at that dessert shop were scared by you yesterday."
In the mansion, Hulim and Miko were strolling around.
"Is it really that exaggerated? I just added a little bit more sugar."
"ah???"
Miko looked at Hulim in shock.
"... Can half a cup be called a little bit?"
Okay, maybe that's a little too much...
"Huh? This is the back door of the mansion, right?"
Before they knew it, they were near the back door.
"Let me see... Yes, this is the back door."
Miko looked at the surroundings and nodded.
"In that case, let's just get out of here."
"Of course, no problem, but what are we going to do today?"
"Hmm..." Hulim thought for a moment, "Are there any other famous dessert shops in Helinx?"
"Uh... can't we just go to a dessert shop..."
The gate was opened by the guards. Just as Hulim and the other man were about to go out, an adult woman also walked towards the back door.
When she saw Miko and Hulim, she lowered her head in panic.
"Greetings, hello, my Lords!"
"Hey, are you going out too?"
Miko asked casually.
"Y-yes, there's nothing for me to do here anymore, so I'm getting ready to go home."
Ciri replied, lowering her head.
"Is that so..."
Miko lost interest and pulled Hulim.
"Hulim, let's go."
But this time it didn't pull.
Hulim's gaze was still on Ciri.
"Hulim, what's wrong?"
"... ...nothing."
Hulim shook her head.
"let's go."
After leaving the mansion through the back door, Hulim and Xirui went in opposite directions.
As they walked, Hulim turned around and looked at Xirui.
"What's wrong with that guy?"
Miko asked curiously.
"I don't know."
"It's just... a sense of déjà vu."
That's right, Hulim felt a similar atmosphere from Xi Rui, a similar atmosphere she had seen in someone before, and that person's final fate was to go to prison...
Hulim withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.
"?"
A big question mark popped up in Miko's head who was following behind.
"Deja vu? What deja vu? Wait a minute, tell me!"
... ...
Xi Rui had no idea how she got back, and when she came to her senses, she was already back home.
"This is... my home. Am I home yet?"
"How's it going?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the house.
"What--"
Xirui was startled, but quickly recognized the voice.
"It's you, why are you here?!"
"Why am I here? Of course I'm waiting for your news~."
Still wearing a hood covering his face, the man walked out from the depths of the room.
Xirui looked at him, clenched her fists tightly, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be about to solidify into substance.
"I... ..."
Finally she loosened her fist and said weakly,
"I have done what you asked. Can you return my child to me now?"
