That very night, Veronica went outside the temple with the diary.
Catherine tried to stop her but it was to no avail. When she wanted to tag along being worried about her friend, Veronica forbade her. In the end, Catherine only grumbled complaining that her friend wouldn't tell her anything.
Veronica promised that after she came back, she would tell her everything. After that, she used the backdoor of the kitchen and slipped away into the dark alley. This time, she had changed her clothes before leaving. She would never be foolish enough to get out in her nightclothes again.
She wanted to go to Arthur's but she forgot the way to his house's back door. So, she decided to go to the library. Since it was close to the market square, it was easy to find it. As usual, the night market was open and people gathered in a group here and there. She completely avoided them and pulled her hood to cover her head and face.
"Isn't it the pretty lady? Isn't it too late to go out?"
