"My lady guessed right. Dotore did cooperate with the Queen. He probably also made the so-called 'memory erasing' medicine."

Pantalone took a sip of warm water:

"His funding application has the Queen's seal."

"Well, thank you for telling me this," the girl smiled, "What about you?"

"Are you planning to join forces with them?"

Pantalone did not answer directly, but spread his hands on the table:

"As you can see, miss, I'm already here."

The girl said "hmm" first, then raised her eyes with a scrutinizing look:

"so what?"

"Based on this alone, I can't trust you, Mr. 'Rich Man'."

The honorific title suddenly distanced the two people far away, and the tone became more serious, as if he was deliberately reminding Pantalone:

You are an ex-con.

Pantalone looked a little disappointed, but neither the girl nor Dadalia could tell whether he was showing true feelings or just pretending.

"I thought the lady had forgiven me."

"After all, I have been punished enough these days."

punish?

When Dadalia heard this, his hand under the table clenched unconsciously - he just felt sad for a few days after hearing the news of his death, and that was considered punishment?

So what does it mean that his young lady has not seen the light of day this year? What are the pains and compromises, struggles and sorrows of this year?

So what does it mean if the young lady has exhausted all her traps and escaped?

Yes, these are indeed not caused directly by him.

But if he hadn't handed the girl into the Queen's hands so easily, how could the subsequent series of things have happened?

Pantalone really dares to say anything.

The girl was still confronting Pantalone on her face, but she quietly reached out to her hand, broke open Dadalia's clenched hand, and inserted her own hand into it:

"Do you think you should be forgiven?"

Pantalone looked at the table thoughtfully - not because he was evading guiltily, but because he seemed to be really thinking about this issue seriously.

"Miss, I will never forgive you for treating important people."

"The reason why you are so angry and resentful is--"

Pantalone raised her head and looked at the girl:

"Am I already a little important to you?"

The girl was stunned, and Dadalia was also stunned, but the hand she was holding slowly tightened.

None of them expected that Pantalone would have such a tricky entry point.

Dadalia felt that the little hands nestled in her palms were cold and trembling, and glanced at the girl worriedly.

Do you want to admit it?

The girl felt a ringing in her brain.

Her thoughts were suddenly revealed, and she suddenly felt as ashamed and angry as if she were naked.

But, but, how could she admit it, how could she accept that she thought a person who had hurt her was important.

Like Dotore.

She still didn't want to admit that she had loved him deeply and passionately.

Even those little heart-pounding moments gathered in front of her eyes, attacking her overwhelmingly.

Besides, Dadalia is still by her side now.

The girl subconsciously looked at Dadalia, but she met his undisguised worried eyes.

When he met the girl's eyes, Dadalia was stunned for a moment, then smiled comfortingly and tenderly at the girl, and then mouthed -

It’s okay, accept your heart.

Unexpectedly, Dardalia would say this, and the girl was inevitably stunned again.

Accept, my heart?

Even if it's despicable, even if it's unreasonable, even if it's a little bit mean.

Do you want to accept it too?

The warm hands just wrapped around her, and the rough palms rubbed against the back of her hands, as if they were having a silent conversation with her.

Emotions flowed from the place where the two people's skin met, including worry, support, and comfort.

There seemed to be a steady stream of courage flowing to her body along the interlocking hands.

The girl took a deep breath and looked at Pantalone's eyes with unclear emotions:

"Yes."

The girl held Dadalia's hand unconsciously and tightened:

"When I can only rely on you, it's impossible that you are not important to me, right?"

"And you betrayed me when you were so important to me."

The girl suppressed the inexplicable grievance, exhaled again, and finished what she wanted to say:

"How do you think I can forgive you?"

"..."

Pantalone's eyes opened.

In Dadalia's understanding, every time this Nine Seats opened his eyes, it was because he had some dangerous thoughts.

But this time it was different. There was shock, sadness, and annoyance in his eyes.

This expression, which was extremely rare on Pantalone's face, only flashed across her face. Even when she reached Dardalia, she wondered if she had seen something wrong in the blink of an eye.

"Well, the lady is right."

Pantalone smiled, but it always seemed a bit bitter.

"So it's okay, Miss, to regard everything I do as atonement and apology."

"At least give me a chance, miss."

No one continued to speak.

Pantalone looked at the girl with great sincerity, waiting for an answer.

Although Dadalia didn't want to be isolated from this conversation, he also knew that he was just an outsider during that time, and in fact he had no right to intervene.

And the girl is doubting.

She is no longer the person who had no way to go in the past. She now has a vast world, and her paths to the future are all densely intertwined.

She has a choice now, she doesn't have to choose anyone.

So she can doubt, choose, and bear the consequences with confidence and boldness.

Even if Pantalone turned around and leaked this place, it would just be a matter of finding another place for her.

She had very few things and was careful enough in her work. She could completely erase the traces of human habitation in this place before her captors arrived.

"Miss, you can think about it slowly. This is my certificate of submission."

As if he just remembered, Pantalone took out an envelope from his arms and pushed it in front of the girl. Before the girl could open it, he stood up, bowed slightly to the girl, and left without looking back. This room.

"Miss Pantaro...?"

As soon as Dadalia stood up, the girl grabbed her clothes.

She had already unfolded the envelope.

Inside, is an address.

As if the text description is not detailed enough, a map is included.

In fact, unless you go to the scene, you can't tell where this kind of thing is.

Although the girl only went there once, she went there blindfolded with a scarf——

But the girl intuitively knew that this was the latest and most rigorous and safe laboratory built by Dotore.

That's the place where things that are "her but not her" are placed.
