I closed the diary and stood up as I noticed Ashley was back.

"Leon!" She screamed as she began running towards me.

She jumped immediately into my arms, making me scoff for an instant.

As I let her down I decided to gently pat her head, trying to comfort her.

"You did good." I told her.

"I'm sorry if I was, uh... Where's Lucia? " She asked as she looked around.

"Don't worry about it. Come on, let's move on."

Later...

Ashley and I were just getting out of the room with the armors where I retrieved some kind of cup. I reloaded my shotgun as I tried to count the number of bullets I had left.

Enough for three shots.

"Leon?" Ashley said as she suddenly patted her hand on my shoulder.

I raised my head towards her and noticed she was looking at a painting in the gallery. It stood out from the others in a very fascinating way.

"Still, it's strange similar they look..."

Everything around us seemed to try to tell us something.

A bit curious, I removed slowly the painting from the wall and gently put it on the bottom of the wall.

There was a little golden plate behind.

In honor of...

"...Felicia Salazar, our beloved queen? That's weird." Ashley added.

We both shared a look.

Something tells me this could lead us to the truth no one knew about...

Lucia's POV, Present

"Lucia? You're slowing us." Ada spoke coldly. I looked around and noticed we just got into another part of Saddler's base.

"Sorry. I was just lost in my mind." I replied as I shook my head.

I'm starting to get tired.
