Looking at them in the dark, the light of his red eyes were even clearer. His silver hair shone like the shattered sunlight.

He approached her, bent down, made eye contact with her, and kissed the back of her hand.

“It is an honor to be called by you, Master.”

Behind him was Quilt, who seemed to have been summoned along with him.

“Since when did you know about it?”

“…”

Reinhardt paused for a moment at the sudden interrogation.

Narrowing his eyes, he glanced at the unoccupied table which had another dish on it, and then clicked his tongue.

“Did they already come all the way here?”

“The Crown Prince looked for me and asked for my help.”

“Asking to borrow Master’s hand about the insect’s murder case?”

As Reinhardt tilted his chin at an angle, his hair fell down. Reinhardt’s gaze fell upon Ceylon for a moment, then he shifted to Valletta.

‘Murder case?’

There should be something else besides that. Valletta’s eyes twitched and she opened her mouth again.

“You don’t know about the Lost incident that is happening as well?”

Reinhardt’s eyes narrowed and then the corners of his mouth curled up. Seeing that he spared no words, it seemed like he didn’t know about it at all.

In the flowing silence, Reinhardt licked his lips slowly.

“Who knows.”

“You… If you didn’t do it, say it clearly. Don’t let the people around you misunderstand you.”

Reinhardt’s eyes slightly widened at her criticizing voice. His pupils that had dilated slowly decreased. He let out a low laugh, leaned forward, and smiled with his eyes curving.

“It sounds like Master believes in me completely.”

“You didn’t do it.”

The expression on Reinhardt’s face disappeared for a moment at Valletta’s voice, who replied as if it was an obvious fact.

As if embarrassed, he patted his lips with his finger.

“Why do you think so?”

“There’s no way you would leave a survivor.”
