When rain meets with mud. That's how his voice sounded like. It was muffled and deep.

Perhaps because of the wooden door between them, his voice sounded even more despondent.

But before she could think about it, Ravia was surprised by the uninvited guest and bounced off her bed.

“Tidwell?”

“Yes. It's me. I came because the light is on. Are you still awake?”

What's wrong with him? Ravia gave a chilly voice to his calm reply.

“Well, I'll go to bed soon. Would you like to come in if you have business with me?”

“No, I won't.”

His rejection came in haste. Did he find it difficult to step into a woman's room recklessly this late at night? Or is it because it was bothersome for him?

'You're not really here to say hello, rather, your purpose is to monitor me.'

She told Herod that she wanted to get along well with Tidwell, but she didn't mean anything like brotherly love.

When she said 'I want to get along well', it was more like minding each other's business and being casual, rather than being in a close relationship.

Tidwell came in with the thought of killing her from the beginning. Therefore, it was best to say that she wanted to get along well with him like a fish who met with a rabbit. Since her existence alone was a threat.

Ravia blew out the lamp beside her so she could send him off with ease. In an instant, half of the room turned dark.

“I was reading a book and didn't realize it's already late. I'm going to sleep now. Are you going to stay there?”

She kindly explained what she was doing to Tidwell and indirectly told him to leave if he had nothing to say.

He must have only been interested in what I was doing anyway, so he would leave without saying much. She thought so.

“I wanted to have tea with you last time. Do you remember that?”

The response from the man behind the door was unexpected. Tea? All of a sudden?

Ravia closed her book and crumpled her blanket, blinking blankly.

“I remember. Didn't we take a walk because you don't like tea that much?”

Actually, Ravia was the one who took him out for a walk because Tidwell said he didn't enjoy tea, so it was quite brazen of her. But he didn't deny her words.

“I'd like to have a cup of tea with you since I couldn't do that last time.”

He just whispered in the dark.

“I'll see you at the Orangerie tomorrow at tea time.”

It was a brazen reply to a brazen remark. Tidwell spat out his words before Ravia could answer anything and walked away.

'Why on earth?'

Thanks to that, Ravia was restless and couldn't sleep all night.
