The sunlight takes a peek behind the line of fluffy clouds above the street the carriage you are currently in passing through, signifying the new hope that you are yet to discover as you are still focused with the internal conflict you are battling within yourself. The hooves of the two black horses leading and causing the same coloured carriage you're occupying on to move paddled across the smoothened, but a bit muddy street that gave the ride subtle bumpy movements occasionally so. Wanting to distract yourself in the meantime, you witness the serene environment as you mentally thanked your current companion in accompanying you.
Albert darted his gaze towards your dazed one, being mesmerised by the beauty outside to still not notice him until he speaks to ask a question once he notices the distressed state you are in despite your comfort. "Have you heard of the Lord of Crime, Y/N? Perhaps he could help you with your problem."
Hearing what you knew quite well because of the spread of information about it, you are more astounded by the fact that Albert seemed to silently present something as what he revealed is just the tip of the iceberg with a reason you are unknown about. Call it your intuition if you will, but you decided to play along after deeming the situation nothing to be concerned about. You blinked twice before facing him, greeting you with his signature smile that helped in calming you and forgetting your problems for a moment. You return his kind gesture before nodding, having a recollection of the title of the prominent individual these days as you shared what you know.
"I have indeed heard of the said name, but I'm not certain on how I could contact him." You gingerly frown, wanting to ask for help to the individual that you find a saviour of some sort after you've grown to understand their actions, but not knowing that you are already talking with one of them.
Albert looks outside as the carriage stops in front of the front yard of a familiar manor that made you confused, smiling with fondness upon seeing the recognisable landscape along with knowing that he succeeded to grant his brother's request. "We are actually travelling to his estate now."
You are undeniably surprised by the revelation in which you thought was quite delivered in a nonchalant manner before you felt suspicious with it all. You were sceptical with the presented opportunity, though it seemed that it was already decided for you. Stepping out of the carriage with Albert's guidance and finally arriving at the front porch of the manor, the two of you were greeted by his brother, Louis, from which he introduced himself before gesturing inside as the two newly arrived nobles followed. The three of you stepped inside a quaint, but still fancy room where another person had already been waiting with his scarlet eyes raking over your features.
