Ride to the council was surrounded by an eerie silence. Evelyn looked out of the carriage window, blankly, staring at the trees sprinting back. Usually, the rides were quiet but there's a difference between silence and peace. Now what they were experiencing was a silence that was filled with awkwardness.
Earl tried to make a conversation with her, shifting her thoughts to something else, but everything failed. Her responses were bland. For a few questions, she didn't even reply anything and simply nodded her head as if he could see her.
Reaching the council she hopped out of the carriage and strolled towards the cabin. Entering the cabin she along with Mr Saemus and Alfred worked on the new case that was reported recently. Many times Mr Saemus thought out loud about Elric but she remained silent as if she didn't know who the person was.
Seeing her stoic face, Mr Saemus asked, "Did something happen, Miss Evelyn?"
