This was their goal. Xio instinctively decided to hide this matter and never tell the masked man.
/She rubbed her baby-fat cheeks and walked out to the street, preparing to take the public carriage back to Jowood District.
At this moment, she saw a brown carriage passing by, and her eyes were immediately attracted to the coat of arms on it.
The main body of the coat of arms was a flower and two rings. There was nothing special about it, but Xiu stared at it blankly, his eyes seemed frozen.
She didn’t look back until the carriage was far away, and her mood suddenly became extremely depressed. Even after returning to the house they rented together, she didn’t completely improve.
Realizing that something was wrong with his friend, Forsi poured two glasses of red wine and carried them over.
“What happened?” She sat across from him and pushed one of the glasses of wine to Xio.
Xio looked down at the red wine and was silent for a full two minutes before speaking in a slightly hoarse voice:
