Chapter 114.1

At Yurina’s request to go after dinner, Lydia declined, saying that she couldn’t cause such a nuisance today. Instead, she added that she had fun today and asked for another invitation next time. Yurina nodded in agreement with her courtesy and saw Lydia off with a smile.

Karion, who had stayed by Lydia’s side, was now staring at Yurina with a frown on his face for quite some time. Just like a man who sees the face of his beloved for the last time before leaving on a long journey.

His face was drooping, and at times it seemed that he was trying to holding back a storm of emotions inside. On the other hand, Yurina, although still unable to trust him, she didn’t avoid his gaze and looked directly at him.

As soon as their eyes met, Karion again had tears in his eyes. If everything he said today was true, did the emotions he felt for Yurina in his dream linger in his heart?

Yurina had never had such vivid dreams over and over again, so she couldn’t imagine how he would feel now.

‘I still don’t know what’s inside you’re head.’

After talking with him, Yurina came to the conclusion that his story wasn’t made up by Marquis De Flon. She couldn’t be one hundred percent sure that his history was clear until further investigation proved it. But now she couldn’t find any reason to suspect De Flon of a cunning plan.

However, Yurina still didn’t understand why he had come to her and told her the whole story while mumbling something that he had to protect Lydia. Yurina wanted to ask, but looking at his expression, it was clear that he wouldn’t give her an honest answer. If he was not against such a revelation, he would have given everything out himself without asking.

While Yurina and Karion stared at each other for a long time, Raynard, who was standing next to Yurina, stepped in front of her with soft steps and broke their eye contact.

“Today was fun. I will cast a spell on the carriage so that you can return home comfortably.”

It was a hint. At this point, Karion turned away from Yurina and shook his head.

“It’s okay. I’m pretty good with magic myself. Then, see you soon.”

After bowing to Yurina and Reynard, he got into the carriage.

“Thank you so much for today! When you feel better, you should visit us at the De Flon house!”

Lydia opened the window of the moving carriage and waved her handkerchief. Yurina waved back until the carriage disappeared. Raynard looked at her and took her hand.

“Ray?”

His face betrayed that he had a lot to say. It is clear. After all, the story told by Karion was more shocking and even more cruel for Reynard than any other story.

Perhaps when he grabbed Yurina’s arm, Ray was holding back the urge to jump up and disappear from the spot.

However, there were many eyes around him, and not all of them could be trusted. The only opportunity for the two to talk freely was at night, when everyone was asleep. And Raynard, knowing this, gritted his teeth and only stared at Yurina.

Yurina looked into his troubled eyes and spoke softly.

“Let’s go to Dave. I have a question for him.”

Instead of answering, Raynard squeezed Yurina’s hand and moved towards the annex where Dave’s lab was located.

Dave, on the other hand, looked a bit embarrassed when he saw Yurina who suddenly came.

He tidied up his hair, which had been tousled from his research, and guided Yurina inside only after wiping off the unknown, sticky liquid on his clothes.

“What are you doing here at such and such an hour, milady?”

“I need to ask you one thing.”

“Reynard, what about you?”

“Reynard, what about you?”

“Like Yurina, I came here because I have something I want to ask.”

Dave looked at the two of them through his dusty glasses, then took them off and rubbed them on his clothes.

“I am in the middle of research, so I am very dizzy. If you had told me you were coming, I would have cleaned it up a bit earlier…”

Even when he was organized, he was always messy. Yurina sat down on the sofa he hastily arranged, swallowing the sincerity that jumped out of her.

Raynard sat down next to her. Dave continued to rush around the laboratory tidying up the area where Yurina was sitting.

“I don’t care, so don’t worry, just sit down.”

Only after Yurina pointed to the couch did he sit across from her.

“If you would at least tell me through the maid, I myself would come to you tomorrow. You wouldn’t have to go in person.”

Dave muttered in a voice that I didn’t know whether offended or guilty.

“Sorry for the trouble. There was something I wanted to ask you urgently.”

Dave glanced at Raynard, who was sitting next to Yurina, and then turned to her.

“And what exactly are you so curious about?”

“Is there a way to know the future?”

“Know the future?”

Perhaps the question was sudden, Dave gave a look of surprise for a moment. However, he soon captured his expression and instead of the answer, he asked her back.

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden, young lady?”

Since it was an expected question, Yurina answered naturally without any worries.

“I just want to know the future.”

Yurina’s assumption was like this.

The dreams of Karion had were a future that should have happened. Or it has already happened. Either way it didn’t matter much. What was important was the assumption that Marquis De Flon would already know about it.

It was necessary to confirm that the assumption was true.

However, Dave looked at Yurina and Reynard and spat out a very strange sound.
