At that moment, Sally said that the former Duke and Duchess Felix died at the same time.

Is it simply an unfortunate coincidence that the husband is killed by a shapeless arrow exactly at the same time when the wife dies giving birth to a child? Moreover, the behaviour and actions of her father, Duke Alberton, after investigating the two deaths.

It was difficult to rule out the possibility that magic was involved in this work. Arthur refuses to consider the possibility at all, but she thinks differently.

Perhaps its time when she must tell Arthur about the contents of Duke Albertons notebook. With that thought in mind, Grace spoke to Sally first.

Im sorry I asked you again about what you already told me, Sally.

No, its all right. Do you have anything else to ask?

No. Thank you.

If you have any other questions or need anything else, please feel free to let me know.

Upon hearing Graces thanks, Sally immediately understood the meaning of those words, bowed deeply and went out of the drawing-room.

The door closes, and now its just the two of them in the drawing-room. Arthur asked Grace, who had sent Sally out sooner than he thought.

Did you ask Sally enough?

No, I still have a question, but.

Then shall I call Sally back inside?

No. You dont have to. What Im going to talk about now is, Arthur, I just want only you and me to know, thats why I sent her out on purpose.

Just me and you?

To Arthur who asked with a puzzled face, Grace lightly nodded her head and said.

Yes. Actually, just like you, I thought it was nothing like a fairy tale, and that it was ridiculous that there exists magic through which a man could bring someones life back by connecting his own life with that persons life. But I cant help thinking about it because of the insinuation my father, Duke Alberton, made about your parents death in his notebook that I stole from Alberton Castle.

Did Duke Alberton mention magic directly? Did my father bring my mother back to life?

Arthur asked, looking at Grace with astonished eyes.

Grace put her index finger to Arthurs lips, who involuntarily raised his voice in surprise, and then quietly continued.

Im sorry, but please lower your voice. Or else there is no benefit in letting Sally go.
