Morning. The bell rung nine times as a carriage departed from Xavier's mansion.
Xavier and Eulene's expressions went back to their usual states. The heaviness they had been feeling last day seemed to have completely disappeared.
Xavier was the one to compose himself and come to terms first. He had already done it during their trip to Bailey Avenue.
As for Eulene, she had to sacrifice some sleep—more than just a bit of it—to wash away all the burden. She did not beat around the bush and accepted this as fate, bringing peace back to her Dao heart.
The sleep that came after—refreshed her even further.
Eulene was wearing the silk dress she had worn through the first case—the silk dress gifted by aunt Maisel. As for why she did not wear the premium item she bought just yesterday, Xavier warned her against wearing something flashy today.
After all, they departed from the house today with the intention of 'looking for a job'.
