I feel something is not good. This knight named Marco seems to be a very rigid person. Such people are often very disciplined and a bit stubborn, especially when it comes to etiquette, and sometimes they can be very fanatical.

For example, now, he keeps staring at Erica next to me with a cold face, because this guy didn’t know when he put Polly on his lap and sat down. This is a very rude thing. But Erica herself

She didn't care at all, still playing with Polly's hair as she pleased, although just looking at her movements, it looked more like she was braiding Polly's hair.

The reason why I didn’t say that she was braiding her hair was because the hairstyle she braided was ugly and messy. She would braid a flower and then tie it into a knot. If I hadn’t been concentrating on the conversation with Chris, I would have thought

Give her an electric shock to make her behave for a while.

"Marco, have you ever met a maid named Liz?"

"Please wait a moment, Ms. Argyle." After Marco said this, he opened the roll of parchment in his hand and read it. It seemed that the names of the maids in the house should be recorded on it. He read it very carefully before reading it.

He put away the parchment and said solemnly.

"Ms. Argyle, there are two maids named Liz in the house. One has gone home with compensation not long ago. According to the mark in the record, her home is in Ronan Castle. And the other Liz

Currently incarcerated."

"Imprisonment? What did she do?"

"Stealing and being disrespectful to guests."

Now I'm worried. The Liz in the front is obviously unlikely to be Polly's sister, and her family is in Ronan Castle, so she should have a good family background. As for the latter... I don't dare to be sure right now.

.

"Can you bring the imprisoned Miss Liz here? We need to confirm whether she is a relative of this little girl."

"OK, just a second."

After Marco finished speaking, he immediately stood up and left the room. I leaned back on the sofa and thought about the problem. At this time, Erica, who had been silent since just now, suddenly spoke.

"how's it going?"

"Which one are you referring to?"

I weakly replied to her question. To be honest, my mind is a little confused now, because the incident about the Envar ruins came so suddenly and I was a little at a loss. If things develop even worse, I can only ask two other colleagues for help.

, and if the worst-case scenario is what I expected, I don’t know how much worse it will be when they come over.

"Who else? Polly's sister."

"Oh, this is a bit troublesome."

"what's the situation?"

"There are two people named Liz. One has gone home so it is unlikely that he is the person we are looking for, and the other is in jail."

"prison?!"

"Well, the reason for stealing..."

"Is it her?"

"I don't know. Aren't we waiting for someone to come over and let Polly confirm it?"

"oh."

"Put Polly down and make her sit up, or I'll shock you."

Erica hurriedly put Polly back on the sofa, and then she pretended to be obedient and drank the juice, although the glass was empty because she waved her hand to refuse when the ladies tried to refill her glass just now.

"Are you bored?"

"Sure. Can I go next door and smoke one?"

"cannot!"

Erica smacked her tongue in dissatisfaction, and then played with Polly's hair dishonestly.

"What did you just say to Chris? You two looked so serious from behind."

"There may be some trouble about that ring."

"what happened?"

"We may go to a faraway place in a few days..."

I briefly told her about the Engvar ruins and the underground passages, and instead of feeling nervous, Erica became very excited.

"So we're going on an adventure to hunt for treasure?!"

"Exploring is okay, but treasure hunting is not necessarily possible. I guess if you are lucky, there may be nothing there, but if you are unlucky..."

"If you are not afraid, how can you get treasure if you are afraid of hardship? This is the essence of adventure. I have always been looking forward to trying to receive a mission similar to that of a treasure hunter."

Seeing Erica's inexplicable excitement, I was too lazy to continue talking. Anyway, if I encountered danger, I could only take her and escape first. It seemed like it was time to prepare a teleportation array at home.

"Well... I have to find a way to get Dr. Jones's costume. I remember there should be a cowboy hat in the closet, and a whip... I should be able to buy it here... But I don't have a Webley Mk IV, but I can use it

Colt SAA can replace it..."

I listened to Erica muttering to herself, and suddenly asked on a whim.

"Who is Dr. Jones? Your friend?"

"A character from an old movie."

"old movie?"

"Well, Raiders of the Lost Ark, a classic treasure hunt movie from the 1980s."

"The 1980s... What a pity, I haven't seen it yet."

"Uh... don't worry, I bought the DVD of that movie and I'll show it to you when I get home."

"Forget it...we may be very busy during this period, let's wait until later. What do you want a whip for?"

"Because Dr. Jones's weapon is the whip."

"Then his fighting ability must be very poor..."

"Movies, of course, need to be artistically processed. You can't let him carry a machine gun and shoot the natives like Rambo, right?"

"Who is Rambo?"

"..."

After that, we started chatting again and again. Erica wanted to go next door to smoke a cigar in the middle, but I stopped her. Then she pestered me again and again, and finally she reluctantly agreed because she had no choice.

Got her.

I really don't like the smell of cigarettes, and I don't like smelling it on her.

Polly and I waited in the reception room for a long time before Marco came back. Behind him was a chained woman and two guards. Although the woman was a little haggard, she was still clean, and she didn't look like she had been tortured.

It seems that he was simply imprisoned for a period of time.

"Ms. Argyle, we have been brought to you."

I nodded to Marco and walked over with Polly who looked confused. But before we could get close to her, the woman suddenly rushed towards me. However, she was quickly blocked by the two people behind her.

A guard subdued her, and then I walked over just as Marco was about to teach her a lesson.

After seeing me, this woman raised her head and looked at me fiercely, which surprised me a little, because I thought it was the first time I met her today, and I couldn't figure out why she was so hostile to me. But I

There was a hint of hatred in her eyes, and she immediately realized why.

She probably knows the cause of her sister's death, and maybe that's why she hates me so much.

I gave a helpless smile and was about to help her up, but suddenly Polly rushed out from behind me and hugged her.

"Liz!"

"Po...Polly?! Why are you here? Could it be..."

Liz raised her head again and stared at me fiercely. To be honest, by this time I was starting to admire her imagination. It seemed like she was imagining that I was targeting her. I didn't understand her "victimization".

"The thought", because I did kill her other sister, so she automatically put me in the position of the bad guy.

"Unlock her chains."

"What? Ms. Argyle, you..."

"What do you think she can do to me?"

"……All right."

Marco reluctantly ordered the guards to unchain Liz's hands and stepped aside. I originally wanted to have a chat with the two sisters alone, but looking at this situation it was unlikely, so I didn't.

While continuing to care about Marco and the others, he invited Liz and Polly to sit down on the sofa.

Liz was very wary at first, but she was surprised to see Polly walking away from me obediently, then hurriedly ran a few steps to follow me, and dragged Polly who was about to sit next to me to sit opposite me.

.

"Miss Liz, why are you so hostile to me?"

"...You killed Nancy. I found her after I returned to normal, and she died silently in my arms."

"Then you are so hostile to me? Want to kill me to avenge your sisters?"

"I...I know I am no match for you..."

"Really? Then how do you plan to kill me?"
