Liz ran. I even ran through the long hallway in the second temple, looking forward.

The cleric Lloyd said earlier.

"I asked the chief clergyman to talk through it. His Royal Highness Keefa will wait in the hallway in front of the hall where we met before this."

"Thank you!

"You're so uptight... that ring?

I looked at the ring that Claire gave me in Liz's hand and pointed at it as if Lloyd was surprised.

"It was buried in the ground - just like His Highness Keefa's rusty" Sa "bi ring. Yeah, if I get the rust off that old ring, that's exactly it."

"Really?"

The ring that Keefa held dear as a child was similar to the silver ring addressed to Cecil, not the gold ring that the Gurud lady wore -.

Liz grabbed the ring again.

I don't really know the details. The truth five hundred years ago, too, could be what Eugene had in mind.

But I'm glad. I can't wait to see that there's even a little Cecil in Eugene's mind, but above all the fact that what I've been hoping for has come true.

Liz laughed.

"I'm coming, Mr. Lloyd"

"Oh? Oh... there you go"

I laughed small as Lloyd looked at me like I didn't know why.

At the promised location, Keefa was already here.

You felt Liz's signs, turning slowly with hesitation, and gazing at her as if she was a giggling Albino daughter running indifferently.

Liz didn't care, holding her breath and saying, "This!" and gave him the ring.

As soon as he did, Keefa solidified with a stunned face and opened his mouth as if he were dreaming.

"This... why is it here? Why did you have it... buried with me in my grave?"

"I didn't bury him. Theo Howard left it and passed it on from generation to generation, and now the descendants of the Howard family gave it to me."

Keefa opens her eyes.

"Now... hey, Claire?

Liz was surprised.

"You know Claire?

"Just the name. I've never met him in person. I heard you were here as a candidate for the Virgin."

And as he floated in the heat, he snapped, "Did you, Theo..."

"Theo Howard shows up someone who absolutely has to give him this ring one day. So he left me saying," Don't ever let go until then. "

Keefa's eyes seem to hang on Liz's words.

"Well... Theo's guy, he's always crying that he has magic, but he can't use all sorts of magic, and he sneers at me every time. Oh, my God... you could have used some fine magic."

Looking at the ring, with loud eyes, but laughing happily was certainly his father's.

It's Liz's - Cecil's unknown Eugene face. My chest ached a little over the matter, and Liz told me to whisper.

"Theo is Eugene's son, isn't he? He said he was adopted."

"Oh, yeah"

"I also heard Eugene never married anyone in her lifetime."

"... oh, you're right"

Keefa turned away from Liz and nodded. Liz stared at Keefa's side. My cheeks are pulling as if I wanted to hide something.

Liz told him carefully.

"The ring was to me - you tried to give it to Cecil, right? I thought Eugene married that Gurud lady."

Keefa shrugged her face as soon as she got there.

"What are you talking about? You must be the one who married the other guy."

(What?)

"What are you talking about? Cecil's not married."

Returning with the thought that it was natural, Keefa looked small.

My cheeks glowed as if I had won the feeling that I was more sincerely happy than suspicious, but that was an instant event. Keefa said in a low voice, chewing her lips off so that she could stop herself immediately.

"You don't have to lie. I got a letter from you, and I couldn't believe it and I actually went to make sure of you.

But you weren't in that collective room, and the room was teasing, and people searched but couldn't find it. And then your aunt, the landlord you admired like your mother, told me that Cecile had married another man and left the room. "

(Huh?)

I just have to be pompous. 'Cause I don't know what that means.

Cecil hasn't sent out any letters.

I was certainly close to my landlord's aunt who lives downstairs. She was a very sweet, people-loving aunt who made me as good as a mother to Cecil without a parent. Even after Eugene went to the Howard family, she snubbed Cecil, who cried when she didn't come back, and came to see me personally after she had an epidemic.

And yet you lied to Eugene? Why?

"I don't know...... Cecil's not married to anyone anyway. I can't get married. After that, something that died of an epidemic disease some time after Eugene went to the Howard family."

"Huh?" Keefa asks back. From that tone of voice, I knew it was really my first ear.

Slowly keep your mouth in one hand as Keefa blinks her eyes. He seemed desperate to put his thoughts together in his bright white head.

(You have big hands. long fingers too)

Keefa's gaze came back to Liz thinking about something irrelevant. My neat face is blue as if it were someone else.

"Dead? Cecil, right after that..."

"Well..."

Liz turned away.

Because Keefa's face staring at Liz was too pitiful to be seen with too much sadness.

"Then when I went to see you, you were already... So the room was teasing, there was no luggage, there was no sign of you..."

He has turned his eyes to Liz in earnest Shin, even seemingly old in an instant, even against the wall as if he had lost his flutter and power. He looked like he was desperately trying to face it straight even though he was in a lot of shock.

"- So he died?

"Huh?"

The groaning blurred voice was not well heard.

"Did you die alone...?

Liz breathed. This is Eugene. Yeah, okay. Eugene asked me.

I have no words. I guess Liz's appearance, which solidifies as frozen, was above all eloquently a sign of affirmation.

"It would be a lie..."

Keefa held her head off her face with both hands as she groaned and sat cheating on the spot along the wall she was bringing.

"What's going on? What am I..."

Liz took her gaze off and looked out the window because she didn't want it to be slight.

From the large windows that line the hallway walls at equal intervals, the overflowing greens appear sparkling with light. And what difference does Keefa look like?

Did Eugene think Cecil married another man? And he said he dumped Eugene.

They mistook each other for abandonment, betrayal.

And even if we were mistaken, did we keep thinking about each other?

That's ironic.

Liz glanced back at Keefa. That scratchy, bloody, full-bodied figure is going to fall with just one more stab.

I asked quietly to try not to irritate him.

"I told you before, didn't I? I thought we might be confused with each other. You were right. But there's still something I don't know. Let me hear what happened to Eugene."

Liz's, and the fact that Cecil didn't know five hundred years ago.

In response to that word, Keefa slowly began to look up and talk -.
