The door was slammed shut.
Ask looked at everyone in the room with his mouth half open.
Emperor Otto was in a state of dismay, the Acid Dragon had an indifferent expression, the Fantasy Dragon covered his face and sighed, Sealed Furnace Fire Otto had a complicated expression, his brother Ludwig shook his head, and the Duke of Bavaria felt overwhelmed with guilt.
Six people with six different expressions left Ask dumbfounded, thinking, is this the most bloody drama of the year
Then he remembered something and said quickly:
"I'll go get her back."
"Please." The Duke of Bavaria said hurriedly.
Even the word "you" was used, which shows how confused the Duke was at the moment.
But if you think about it carefully, asking the two "fathers" such as the Duke of Bavaria or Emperor Otto to persuade her will definitely be counterproductive; instead, someone like Ask, who has a better relationship with her but has nothing to do with her complicated family relationships, is a more suitable counselor.
So after saying something to everyone, Ask hurriedly left the room.
"Excuse me, have you seen a tall blonde girl?" He called out to a hotel waiter passing by in the corridor.
"Oh, she seems to have gone to the stairwell," the waiter said, pointing him in the direction.
Ask rushed to the stairwell and saw two paths ahead: up and down.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, his mind recalled the night at Weisbach Palace when Eleanor slipped out from the family banquet to see him.
She should... choose to go to the rooftop, right
More importantly, if she chose to go down and leave the hotel from the lobby on the first floor, it would be difficult for him to find her. But he firmly believed that Eleanor did not want to escape once and for all - she just wanted to find a place to be quiet.
Going up the stairs to the rooftop and walking out of the stairwell, Ask saw that the rooftop was empty with only a few pigeons perched on the railings.
Oops, did I guess wrong
He sighed in frustration and was about to go back downstairs to continue searching when he heard a voice behind him:
"Captain... you really came to see me."
"Eleanor?" Ask turned his head and saw Eleanor leaning against the wall beside the door, her hands gently supporting her body, her face gloomy.
"You're here." Ask breathed a sigh of relief, "Eleanor..."
"No need." Eleanor said softly, "I know what you want to say."
"Then tell me what I want to say?" Ask smiled.
"The strong won't have such troubles, so you have to become stronger," Eleanor whispered.
"Hey, am I a super monster?" Ask complained excitedly.
"What is a monster?" Eleanor asked.
"It's a monster that keeps telling you to 'become stronger.'" Ask made it up.
"Oh." Eleanor lowered her head, looking somewhat uncomfortable and frustrated. "Asker, you don't need to enlighten me. I have actually figured it out."
"Have you figured it out?"
"You see, people can never choose their birth." Eleanor gave a forced smile, "but they can choose what kind of person they want to become."
This was quite accurate and insightful, so Ask knew that she was not being stubborn, but was just feeling a little depressed.
