Forgotten Juliet Chapter 19
Shortly after the family of Count Monad left the imperial palace in a carriage, some of the guests also decided to leave the banquet hall earlier.
“Oh, it’s His Highness!”
“But it’s the middle of the ball…”
There were Duke Carlyle and his knights.
Some of the nobles began whispering in amazement as they watched him, but no one dared to stand in the Duke’s way.
“It was a waste of time.”
Lennox Carlyle had nothing more to do here. He has seen enough already.

Besides, he didn’t originally come here to hang out with idiots who danced carelessly in their gaudy, ridiculous costumes.
Moreover, visiting the capital in the summer was a rather spontaneous decision.
One of the three men he left behind in the capital contacted him and said that he might have found what he had been looking for.
Few of Duke Carlyle’s closest associates knew that for many years he had been secretly looking for one thing.
It was a relic given long ago to Duke Carlyle. However, it disappeared ten years ago in the chaos that followed the death of Lennox’s father, the previous Duke Carlyle, when the seat of ruler of the Northern Lands was empty and his relatives committed various atrocities.
“You will find it soon.”
Hadin, the dark-clothed man who followed the Duke, said softly.
Although Hadin had served the Duke for a long time, he still didn’t know exactly what the item was.
All he knew was that this item looked like an ordinary gem, but unlike ordinary gems, it also had magical powers.
Hadin knew that his master, for whom neither things nor people had value, was simply obsessed with finding this relic for many years.
“Let’s go back to the auction house located to the south and research everything there again.”
“No, no need. As soon as I finish urgent business here, we will head North.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
When Lennox reached the main entrance, he suddenly turned around and gazed at the banquet hall before leaving the imperial palace.
“Are you looking for someone?”
“…No.”
He felt a vague unease, as if someone’s gaze had followed him from the moment he entered the hall, but some time ago this feeling disappeared, as suddenly as it appeared.
Lennox watched the people in the brightly lit banquet hall for a moment longer, then turned away and said:
“We are returning.”

“Oh my God, don’t do this!”
“Get out of my way!”
Being half-conscious, she could only distinguish someone’s voices that barely made their way through the fog that descended on her mind.
“Damn it, don’t move!”
“Lily!”
“No, Cassius!”
Then someone screamed, but the scream was abruptly cut off.
