Chapter 288: Watching You-II

The carriage continues to drive to its destination as the snow had stopped raining from the sky. Elise looked at Ian, waiting for his explanation. Since she met Mr. Beel, there was one single question in her mind that didn't change to date. The question was whether she could put trust in Beelzebub despite the mystery he carries. 

"It was Lucifer who told him to fetch the necklace from your house once he crossed the Hell's Gate," was Ian's honest and quick reply. He recalled the night after they came back from Saltige, where Ian had rested Elise in her bed. 

'The lass is asleep?' questioned Beelzebub, who had been standing with his back leaned to the wall opposite to the door.

'You got many explanations to do Beel,' Ian said with a smile on his lips that grew stale as the flame on the candlestick which was hung on the wall beside them flickered as if a wind had blown the flame when there was no opening possible for the wind to enter.
