Chapter 63

“You need to change the next meeting point? What do you mean by that?”

When Silvia looked puzzled, Matthew sighed and explained the reason.

“We’ve got a tail. So the existing meeting point can no longer be used.”

They had been transporting grain while deceiving others’ eyes, but eventually got a tail.

After Pabel disappeared, they had been careful, but Casian, who noticed something suspicious, was tracking them through the Valhalla Knights.

Unaware of this, Silvia looked puzzled and asked Matthew.

“What about the hideout we worked so hard to create?”

“Others will take care of it. From the transaction the night after tomorrow, come to this place.”

Matthew handed over a note and turned his back after saying those words.

Left alone, Silvia unfolded the note and frowned while muttering quietly.

“The crown of May where fresh green lingers?”

* * *

“What could it mean?”

Evelyn, who had been eavesdropping on Matthew and Silvia’s conversation from the adjacent terrace, suddenly fell into deep thought.

The green light from leaves that bloom in late spring or early summer.

And May with the warmth of the dead.

There must be something there, but she couldn’t come up with the right answer.

As Evelyn was pondering alone like that.

“It probably means chives.”

A calm voice descended from above her head.

It was Casian, who had been observing the situation, speaking up.

“When you combine herbs that evoke fresh greenery with grass that covers the warmth of the dead, people often think of chives.”

Casian, who added the explanation, mulled over what Silvia had said.

The crown of May where fresh green lingers.

Though it was abstract content, Casian realized it. That Matthew had designated a place containing his childhood memories as the next meeting point.

There were only a few places where Matthew, with his hands and feet tied, could move freely while avoiding the Valhalla Knights.

Moreover, if it was a meeting point within the capital, it was likely to be a place where chives bloomed.

Therefore, there was only one possible next meeting point.

“Could it be… Galasia?”

“That’s right.”

“But that’s a place containing Matthew’s childhood memories!”

How could he do such a thing?

No matter how dim his memories had become, could he use a place where his childhood memories were embedded as a hideout for illegal transactions?

Evelyn, who belatedly realized the answer, gathered her confused feelings and searched her memory.

When she had previously visited Clavius Hall while avoiding people’s eyes.

“Is this it?”

Evelyn had carefully examined the family trees of Count Heteus’s house and those who protected it to obtain information about Matthew.

【Name: Matthew</p】

Age: 26 years old

Occupation: Doctor

Birthplace: Galasia

Family Relations: Birth mother and father died in fire accident (Accident date AD.1388, original lost so exact cause of fire cannot be determined)>

When reading the book, there was some information that was difficult to identify due to ink smearing in certain parts, but it was written that after both parents died, Matthew lived as Casian’s close friend under Christina’s protection and received the protection of Count Heteus’s house.

Losing his parents at a young age was unfortunate, but thanks to Count Heteus’s house, he was able to live a more prosperous life than others.

But why would such a person.

‘Serve another master and betray Count Heteus’s house?’

Her head was dizzy from the uncontrollable confusion, but taking care of the person behind her was the priority.

Evelyn turned around with a determined face and carefully asked while meeting Casian’s gaze.

“Are you okay?”

“…I don’t know.”

Casian, who had been standing motionless, barely managed to speak.

He had certainly known about Matthew’s betrayal.

“Witnessing it directly does have an impact.”

Actually facing it made everything go dark before his eyes.

From childhood until now. Someone he had lived with like a friend for over 20 years had an unfamiliar face.

Though he was trying hard to maintain his composure, his rough breathing and slightly trembling hands represented Casian’s psychological state.

“Shall we go back for now?”

Evelyn, who had been quietly watching, reached out and gently stroked Casian’s face.

Right now, no words would provide comfort.

Casian, who had been breathing roughly, gradually found his composure.

Casian buried his face in Evelyn’s hand and only answered after a long while.

“Yes. I want to rest a bit now.”

* * *

Two days later.

“Who could be behind this?”

Evelyn was lost in deep thought.

When I overheard the conversation between Matthew and Princess Silvia at the ball.

[Remember this. You are nothing more than a messenger.]

A suspicious flow was detected.

I had guessed that Matthew would be acting as someone’s puppet, but I never dreamed that Princess Sibaven, Silvia, would be involved in it.

‘Things are flowing in a completely unexpected direction.’

The situation continued where I couldn’t predict what would happen next.

I didn’t know who might be behind it, but it was certain that House of Count Heteus was among their targets.

At that moment.

“My lady~ The doctor is here!”

Rose came to announce Matthew’s visit.

“Oh, is it already that time?”

Evelyn, who had been avoiding Matthew since the banquet competition, decided to face him directly, thinking she could no longer avoid him.

“Tell him to come in.”

Once permission was given, Matthew pushed open the door.

“It’s been a long time, my lady.”

“Indeed. It really has been a long time.”

As Matthew bowed his waist in greeting, Evelyn, sitting on the sofa, burst into an innocent smile and pointed to the sofa across from her.

“Were you surprised by the sudden call? I thought I might need an examination as Matthew suggested.”

“Thank you for not forgetting to call me. The fact that you called me despite having a new doctor must mean you find me more trustworthy, right?”

At the playful question, Evelyn burst into laughter and lightly changed the subject.

“Shall I offer you a cup of tea?”

“If you’re offering, I won’t refuse.”

Matthew, who answered cheekily, silently watched Evelyn brewing rose tea.

A sweet yet deep floral fragrance wafted up gently.

“I felt awkward coming empty-handed, so I brought cookies, though I’m not sure if they’ll suit your taste.”

Matthew, who had been looking down at the reddish brewed tea, took out a red box.

“Oh my! That works out perfectly. We just ran out of refreshments! We can enjoy them together.”

As Evelyn brightened up, Matthew took out wrapped cookies from the box and placed them on the table.

In response, Evelyn placed a teacup filled with rose tea in front of him.

The savory butter and sweet tea fragrance stimulated the sense of smell.

Though it was an appetizing arrangement, neither of them touched the refreshments.

They simply smiled and engaged in light conversation.

“Shall we begin the examination?”

Regardless of the idle conversation continuing, when Evelyn didn’t touch the cookies at all, Matthew took out his medical instruments from his bag.

“Yes.”

When Evelyn extended her arm, Matthew took her pulse with a serious expression.

“Since the last examination was so long ago, I think I’ll need to create a new diagnostic record.”

“There’s nothing much. My memory still hasn’t returned, and I occasionally get anemic, that’s all.”

“Then that’s even more problematic, isn’t it? You should recover your memory as soon as possible.”

Matthew, who was examining her, made a meaningful remark.

At first glance, it seemed like advice, but it was a statement containing a warning.

To this, Evelyn widened her eyes and asked back nonchalantly.

“Is that so? I thought I was fine as I am… I suppose there’s something I absolutely must remember.”

“!”

At the question that hit the mark, cracks appeared on Matthew’s face. However, Matthew immediately composed his expression and smoothly deflected the situation.

“Not at all. It was just advice given out of concern. There’s nothing seriously wrong except for some nervous sensitivity.”

“That’s a relief. I think my nerves were on edge from preparing for the banquet. There’s so much to worry about, isn’t there?”

As Evelyn aired her complaints to lighten the heavy atmosphere, Matthew seemed to respond in agreement. Or so it appeared.

“That’s right. The Heteus Banquet is the largest banquet in the South. But when you have too many thoughts, you tend to become oversensitive, so you should be careful not to stress yourself further. After all, there’s a separate owner, isn’t there?”

Matthew, who had launched a blatant attack, pointed to a syringe placed on the silver tray.

“I’d like to help, even if just slightly… Shall I give you a nerve stabilizer injection?”

The syringe with its sharp needle aimed at Evelyn. Like a sharp arrow.

Evelyn, who hadn’t batted an eye even at the rude remarks, naturally withdrew her arm that Matthew was holding and responded leisurely.

“It’s fine. One injection doesn’t seem like it would solve anything, so I’ll try not to stress myself as Matthew suggested. And as for who the owner of the banquet is, everyone will know in time.”

“I’m relieved to see your strong resolve. Then I hope you have a comfortable evening.”

Seeing Evelyn not fall into the trap, Matthew finally finished the examination and stood up.

At that moment, with a splash, the teacup containing rose tea tipped over toward Matthew.

“Oh my! I’m sorry!”
