"Secret..."

Elisha had a sad look on her face. Then she murmured one after another.

"And the last dance with Ephel... I can't believe you're spending the last day only with Ephel. That's too much."

"Elisha's been with me all day since we came here. I've danced with you once before."

"That's enough..."

Elisha had a sulky look on her face. Then Cassis interrupted the conversation.

"Right. Have a good trip. Evelyn."

"Cassis!"

Elisha exclaimed in anger. Compared to Elisha, who was astonished, Cassis's expression was calm.

As Elisha tried to express her dissatisfaction, she quickly calmed down and fell silent when she made eye contact with Cassis.

After a while, Cassis finished drinking the honey tea and said.

"I'm going to rest in my room today. I'm feeling a little under the weather today."

"Uh, yeah. Go in and get some rest."

"Yes. Have fun, too, Evelyn."

Cassis rose from his seat with a light smile. It was that moment.

"Cassis!"

I grabbed Cassis as he staggered.

I was startled when the boy was suddenly about to fall after finishing his honey tea.

"Ah. I suddenly feel dizzy."

Cassis waved his hand a couple of times as if he were okay and said.

I let him go reluctantly, and he slowly walked to the stairs.

And not long after, Cassis stumbled once again. Elisha tapped me and said.

"Evelyn. Why don't you take him to his room instead?"

"Uh. I should.”

I got up and helped Cassis. Cassis looked at me and said in a weak voice.

"Thank you, Evelyn. But don't you have to go to your meeting spot?"

"It's all right. It's not that far from here if it's Marronnier 3, so I can take you to your room and go."

Does he think I'm one who would ignore a sick child?

I inadvertently reassured Cassis by saying the place of the appointment.

"Ah. Marronnier 3."

Cassis murmured softly and headed for his room in the internal shaft.

***

Ten minutes after Evelyn went to see Ephel.

Cassis, who entered the room with the excuse of being sick, quietly left the room.

He covered his trademark silver hair with a hat and wore a mask.

As if he shouldn't be seen by anyone.

Cassis went to Elisha's room and called her.

"Elisha Forem. Come out."

At Cassis's call, Elisha opened the door. Elisha's attire wasn't much different from Cassis's.

Elisha asked secretly, wearing a wide-brimmed, veiled hat.

"How was it? Did you figure it out?"

"Marronnier 3."
