Skretil's Ignorance Walker

After untying Zoe, Caroline took Zoe to the street and found a bench to sit down on. Zoe, who had escaped from danger, finally relaxed and leaned next to Caroline to enjoy this rare moment. Ordinary times.

"Zoe, what happened to you? Who dares to do this to you?"

Thinking of what might have happened to Zoe, Caroline was very angry. After Zoe was fine, Caroline began to ask Zoe.

"They were the accomplices of the two guys who attacked the palace last night. They kidnapped me. Also, I met Bryce Gabor and Katniss Lajoche earlier, and they rescued me. But then he threw me into the river and left me to die."

"Are they the guys on the wanted list? It's no wonder. It's okay. After we catch them, we must let them get the punishment they deserve."

After hearing what happened to Zoe, Caroline said fiercely, "You dare to attack members of the Guards, you are like a dead person. When you find them, you will probably have to shed a layer of skin."

But, do the current Guards still exist?

"Caroline? What's wrong? Why are you looking so sad?"

"Huh? Ah... no, it's okay, don't worry..."

Zoe noticed that Caroline's face seemed a little ugly, but the latter smiled bitterly and shook her head. Zoe didn't delve into this, she just looked in the direction of the palace.

"When are we going back?"

"Going back where?"

"The palace? What, don't you want to go back?"

After hearing Zoe's words, Caroline became silent. She also looked up at the palace above. The grand and chilling buildings seemed so gloomy in Caroline's eyes at this time. If you observe carefully, , you can also see that it is constantly exuding an ominous magic power, but why didn't you notice it before?

Or did you just ignore it on purpose?

"Sorry, I have a mission, so I won't be going for the time being."

"That's it. Then you go on your mission as soon as possible. I have to go back and report to the captain as soon as possible."

Seeing that Caroline was unwilling to go back, Zoe nodded, and then she stood up and planned to walk to the palace. She had been missing for a day, so Miral must be worried when she came.

"Don't!"

However, Zoe was suddenly pulled back by Caroline. Just as she looked back at Caroline in confusion, the latter quickly let go.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Recalling the situation of other companions, Caroline didn't want Zoe to face this reality. Even their former captain might have lost his will and turned into a walking zombie.

"Then I go back?"

"Wait a minute, that's it... Actually, the mission I want to perform is with you, so you don't have to go back, just follow me to do the mission."

Seeing that Zoe was still planning to return to the palace, Caroline had to find an excuse to deceive Zoe, but her guilty look was clearly visible to Zoe.

"really?"

"Of course, do I still dare to lie about military information?"

"Hmm...too."

But fortunately, Zoe was not so wary of Caroline. Zoe agreed with Caroline's statement.

"But I still want to go back and take a shower and change my outfit. Look at what's happened to me."

With that said, Zoe showed Caroline the various damages, scars, dirt and wet clothes on her body, looking like a deserter who had just returned from the battlefield.

"Then... let's go to where we live. It's more suitable there, isn't it? If you go and see the captain, she might scold you again."

"Uh, that's right. Let's go then. I'm just going back to have something to eat."

Hearing what Caroline said, Zoe also nodded. She recalled the time she spent with Miral. It seemed that she spent most of the time being scolded. She might as well go back to where she lived, which was fine. It's my own little nest.

So the two of them came to the building where the members of the Queen's Guards usually rented. Although the members of the Queen's Guards are the Queen's confidants, their daily wages are actually not particularly high. In addition, they have to wait until they finally have a rest. Most of the members of the Guards did not have much savings due to their wanton spending, so they chose this place with very cheap rent as their own nest to enjoy their own room.

"Huh? Why hasn't everyone come back? Are you so busy now? Are they all on missions?"

From downstairs, she saw that almost no house in the whole building had lights on. This surprised Zoe, but she also saw that Eva's room had lights on. As the only room in the whole building with lights on, it was very strange. It's conspicuous.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and change your clothes and we have to go do the mission."

But Caroline was not in such a mood to observe other rooms. When she recalled the appearance of her companions now, she did not dare to look at those rooms, because those were where the memories of her former companions and herself were.

"I know, I know, don't push me..."

After quickly pushing Zoe back to her room, Caroline waited outside Zoe's house. During this period, her mind kept recalling the daily life with her companions. Whether it was when they first entered Lily Castle for training or when they first served the Queen under her command, every bit of the past had been lingering in Caroline's mind, causing her to shed a few tears.

"Caroline, why are you crying?"

It happened that Zoe had changed into a clean uniform and came out at this time. Zoe was very confused when she saw Caroline squatting in the corner with tears in her eyes.

"No, it's nothing. Let's go after changing."

"But I still want to eat something before I leave. I haven't eaten all day."

"Go out to eat, I'll treat you."

After that, Caroline came to Zoe again and pushed her to leave. Caroline didn't want to stay here any longer, but when the two of them just left the floor where Zoe's house was and came to the next floor, Zoe It suddenly occurred to me that the lights at Eva's house were on, which meant she might be home.

So Zoe ran to Eva's door and started knocking on the door while Caroline wasn't paying attention.

"Zoe! What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Caroline wanted to stop Zoe, but when she ran to Zoe's side, Zoe spoke.

"Don't worry, I want to see how Eva is doing. She went with me to fight the guys who broke into the palace last night. I didn't know her situation after I was beaten away."

But as Zoe kept knocking on the door, there was no movement at all in the room. A somewhat strange Zoe called Eva's name at the door, but still no one responded.

"It's strange. The light is obviously on. Could it be that Eva forgot to turn it off?"

Confused, Zoe inadvertently twisted the door handle. However, what she didn't expect was that the door was opened directly by her. It seemed that Eva had not locked the door.

"Huh? Could it be that she forgot to lock the door?"

With doubts, Zoe and Caroline entered Eva's home together.
