Heliot remained silent as Lilou raised a new proposition regarding their plans. As she spoke, he couldn't help but wonder how come that lady just a few days ago and this woman was the same person? Not just the way Lilou speaks, but also the grasp of her understanding was different. "I know nothing about this order." Heliot abruptly cut Lilou off. "I received no order to kill anyone. No one will dare order that."
Lilou narrowed her eyes slightly. "Heliot, I understand we are years ahead and you might not have received the order yet."
"As I've said, no one will dare."
"Even if no one dares give you such an order, do you understand if I know you made that all up..." Lilou trailed off as the lines between her forehead deepened. She cast Samael a look, and he had also furrowed his brows. "It was strange for Prince Heliot to receive an order from someone. Even if it was an order from someone on the mainland, there was no reason for Prince Heliot to act on it without any deep reason." Fabian rubbed his chin mildly, standing behind Samael's chair, where he could see Heliot properly. The side of his lips curled up in amusement, jumping to an interesting conclusion. "Does that mean Karo was under a threat and Prince Heliot had no other choice but to accept this request?" Rufus chimed in, and just with the Barrett Brother's mumbling, made the rest realize there were still many things they didn't know about. "Even if that is the case, Heliot had let Lilou off back then. Karo was left untouched," Klaus mumbled, recalling their lives before the regression. He then pointed at Rufus. "You had worked with him when you were the emperor. Even married his sister as the empress."
"They were in the talks of divorce," Fabian happily added, warranting a glare from Klaus and Rufus. "Please do not misunderstand. I'm simply adding details lest we need them."
There was something they all had in mind, but they just couldn't point out what it was exactly. "Did you see him?" The silence was once again shattered when Tilly's soft voice caressed their ears. She kept her unchanging countenance, watching everyone look in her direction, before she set her eyes on Rufus leaning in the corner. Rufus pressed his lips into a thin line and then glanced at Heliot's side profile. "No," he answered. "The last time I've seen him was when we finalized the wedding. We still "Did you see Eli after the wedding?" Tilly repeated, making Rufus' brows knit. "What do you mean..."
"After the wedding. Your wedding." Tilly cut him off abruptly. "Did you see Eli physically?"
"Tilly..." Lilou called under her breath, mouth falling open, grasping what Tilly was insinuating. Rufus pressed his lips into a thin line and then glanced at Heliot's side profile. "No," he answered. "The last time I've seen him was when we finalized the wedding. We still exchanged letters, though... although he stopped responding months after the wedding."
"How can you not think something was wrong if he stopped responding?" Klaus immediately raised a question, drawing a conclusion in his head.
"He told me." Rufus' reply was quick. "In his last letter, he told me he would be on an expedition. Hence, he might not respond to me until he returned to Karo."
Lilou let out a short and dry laugh as she lowered her eyes. She shook her head mildly, while everyone bore a grim expression. Even Fabian's smile lines faded, staring at Heliot with sharp eyes. "That made sense, then," said Fabian solemnly. "If he wasn't lying about it, then there's only one reason those on the mainland agreed to let the Madam go. A leverage that is equal to the Madam's death."
"His own life." Samael massaged his temple while Lilou looked at Heliot in disbelief. The latter tilted his head to the side, clueless at what they were saying despite having a vague idea of what it was. "Hah..." Lilou clasped her chest, recalling all the memories she shared with Heliot and the strange things he would tell her out of nowhere. Her eyes shook, staring back at Heliot with guilt and gratefulness dominating her heart. There were many mysteries Lilou had overlooked because, before the regression, the story centered around her and Samael, not knowing the silent sacrifice of those around her. Be it enemies or friends, Lilou had no idea about their sacrifices.
