"But, but you're injured," Avie Scarlet said anxiously. "What exactly happened, why..."
Jose remained silent.
Today, he had heard that Matilda Murphy had woken up, so he left the Manor to see him.
However, when he went there, he lost consciousness again.
And on his way back to the Manor, Jose was attacked.
"They thought I was dead..." he said softly, "which is why I was able to return alone. But now is not the time."
"But you need treatment," Avie Scarlet urged him. "You are a prince, Your Highness. If you call them, they will certainly let you in. Or should I..."
"Why are you here?" Suddenly, Jose interrupted Avie Scarlet.
Avie Scarlet was startled.
In the moonlight, she could now see Jose's entire silhouette, and his eyes focused on her.
His gaze... was sharp.
"I... I was going to get clothes for the Director." Avie Scarlet held up the package in her hands.
She told Jose everything about her situation.
