Chapter 1112
"After all, Ranfik is now... Hmm, if he really thinks that Camille will become his spear in his plan to overthrow the Savatiers and wants to take advantage of this new member of the family, things will still be very favorable for us."
Camille had not thought of this either, but what Hesper said did make sense, so she nodded. "Tomorrow will be the key to everything."
Sherese stood on the side with a serious expression—— After all, Camille only took on this risk because she had assumed her own identity, and even though both of them shared their childhood together, Sherese still felt a little sorry for her.
After all, she knew how much Camille did not want to take this risk.
‘She’s successfully avoided her responsibility of coming to Leafdelle Island before this. I bet she didn’t expect to get herself involved in this matter after all this.’
Noticing Sherese’s gaze, Camille sighed and gave off a faint smile.
"Forget it, I guess this is my fate. It seems that no matter what, I’ll still have to accept it wholeheartedly."
After all, she had accepted Brigette’s help back then, and even if it was not a debt that she should be bearing alone, she still had to repay it. Camille did not want to owe anyone anything, even if the kind lady was already too dead to see whether she would actually try to repay her kindness.
Thinking of this, Camille lowered her gaze, and Hesper could see that something was wrong with her emotionally, but all she could do was leave everything to her and depend on her, so she winked at Sherese and pulled Rickard out of the room.
Although they did not bring it up directly, everyone tacitly agreed that Rickard knew all the details. After all, they could not take Rickard as a fool—— Rickard’s willingness to stay by their side throughout this whole process without asking any questions was already the utmost respect that they could expect from him.
"I wonder how Ranfik will name his choice." Back in the room, Hesper frowned. "I always thought Ranfik wouldn’t be that dumb, but what Sherese said wasn’t wrong... In the end, we still can’t be sure of what’s on Ranfik’s mind now.”
"Yeah." Rickard held Hesper’s hand. "You’re overthinking again."
Hearing Rickard’s words, Hesper finally came back to her senses, took a glance at the time, and realized that it was getting late. She had to go to the hotel early the next morning, so she really should grab a good rest now so that she could be at her best in order to face Ranfik tomorrow.
Rickard turned off the light, while Hesper laid down and closed her eyes.
"Rickard, I’m not afraid at all now."
"...How come?"
Hesper remained silent for a moment then chuckled. Her voice was shrouded by the darkness, so it felt a little sweeter than usual. "Because you said you’ll always be with me, supporting me."
After saying so, Hesper seemed to feel that what she just said was a little sickening, so she turned around instantly. "That’s it. Good night, Rickard."
"...Good night, Hesper."
——
The next morning, Hesper got up very early. Probably because she did not dream all throughout the night and did not suffer from insomnia, nor did she think about anything while she was in bed, she had had a good night's rest.
Sherese did not go with them. After all, if she were to appear in front of the public alongside Rickard, many people would immediately link her to him, thinking that she was his younger sister. That would be no different from self-exposure.
