Kapitel 163: Talk on 'Spices'

"Where might he be hiding?" Evelyn asked as she returned back to the palace after another failure.

After searching for three days continuously, all they could hear was 'Ask Christina. She might be knowing.' She was pissed off listening to the same again and again. Wondering how people got deceived so easily, she wished Elric was there to clear the rumours. 

"Or probably, you should ask, Why is he hiding?" Earl replied as he pulled the reins, making the carriage halt in front of the entrance of the palace. 

They were out in search of Elric or at least hoped for a clue but found none. Disappointed, they returned back to the palace as the sun was already set. 

She sighed at his words and replied, "I wonder that too. Why does the Lord of the great province need to hide? Who is he afraid of?" She pondered, stepping out of the carriage. 

"Well, are you going for the occasion held at Harvard's?" He asked.
