A few days passed and Elric came to the council irregularly. Even if he came, he used to visit council prison to interrogate Mr Aldrich where Evelyn didn't go and stayed behind in the cabin with Alfred. She didn't get a single second to talk to him. She even went to his manor after the working hours but he used to go somewhere which she wasn't aware of.
Earl dropped her in front of the council building. She hopped out of the carriage and heard him say,
"Eve, I won't be joining you for dinner today."
She looked at him and saw him smiling nervously. Furrowing her brows, she asked him, "Are you not feeling well?"
He shook his head and replied, "I am going to meet someone. So…"
"Whom, Earl?" she asked, being curious.
"Will inform you later," he replied.
