Fantine curled her lips.

"Of course I know this. Didn't Faro already determine that he was the culprit of the pollution? Since there is a demon living in his body, it is normal for the deep power to be involved in his body."

However, Orfnigan's tone was serious.

"No."

"In addition to the deep energy left by the alien demon, there is another completely different deep energy in his body."

"Someone used that kind of deep power to forcibly invade his soul, which caused him to become a fool."

Fantine's face changed slightly, and her voice trembled:

"You mean..."

Orfnigan said in a low voice:

"That colleague of yours is not a simple person. He has been pretending to be weak and seems to be trying to hide something."

A gust of evening breeze blew, clearing up Fantine's confused thoughts a little.

She murmured to herself, looking at the street where Faro had disappeared.

"What on earth are you hiding...Faro."

------

Faro walked back to the mansion alone late at night.

It was already late at night.

The soft moonlight enveloped the earth, the stars and the moon were bright, as if covered with bright silver gauze, and the whole city fell into silence.

The demons lurking in the darkness have been eradicated, and the people of Einburg can sleep well.

But some people can't sleep.

That's what Faro did.

The inexplicable irritability and pressure made him unable to sleep, and the cool evening breeze could not relieve the boredom in his heart.

Faro is a little confused now and doesn't know what to do next.

Should he leave the empire with his family? Or should he continue to look for witnesses and report to the court?

But how could these second princes not think of...

Farlow was distraught.

Just don't think about these things.

Empty your mind completely, hoping to find some peace.

"call--"

At this moment, he actually missed the time he spent with Claire.

Faro once thought that everything she did to him was for some other purpose, so he resisted.

But he never thought that she had no ulterior motives behind this. Instead, he had always looked at Claire's concern with tinted glasses.

This made him feel extremely ashamed.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Claire's voice and appearance occupied his mind.

It seems that she always has a cold and indifferent face in front of others, and only when she is in front of herself will she let go of her sharpness and show her warmth.

And the moment I snuggled up with her seemed like a dream.

He always forgets Claire's identity as a villain and unconsciously immerses himself in this sweetness.

Farlow didn't hate the feeling now.

When Faro returned to the mansion, no lights were on.

He had informed his servants at home in advance that he would not be back until tomorrow - it was common to not be able to catch anyone after waiting for a whole night.

Just as he stepped into the front hall, he caught a glimpse of a slender figure.

Judging from the outline, it is a woman, and it seems that she has been waiting here for a long time.

"Claire...?"

Faro was shocked.

"How will you be here?"

He was just thinking about Claire, and now he was about to see her, which made him feel excited.

"I was planning to come to you tomorrow. I know about the second prince..."

"Master."

The dark shadow spoke.

The voice was not as magnetic as Claire's, but it was clear and gentle.

"I'm Vera, I've been waiting for you."

Vera nodded slightly toward Farlow.

His expression was reserved and respectful, yet with a hint of sadness.

It was just that the light was dim and Faro didn't notice it.

"Oh, Vera..."

The girl sensed a hint of disappointment in Farrow's tone.

"Thank you for your hard work. You don't have to wait for me. Go and have a rest."

Vera's mouth twitched.

Chapter 62 Take Me Away

Vera's mouth twitched.

She had been waiting since nightfall for Farlow to return.

He also repeatedly asked Xiu Ge whether Faro would be at risk of certain death if he went out tonight.

Even after getting the answer that it would definitely not do so, I was still worried.

Even though she was exhausted, she still insisted on not resting - if Faro didn't come back safely, she would never be able to sleep well.

Now he finally came back, and he seemed to be safe and sound, without any injury.

She just breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy.

Faro's next words made her heart chilled.

Claire...

Why does Faro care about her so much?

She also wanted to get Faro's attention, but Faro was so exhausted that he no longer had the energy to notice this. He just said that she had worked hard and asked her to go and rest.

Watching Faro walk back into the room, she could no longer control her emotions and shed two lines of tears.

"Come on, why do you have to make a wish for others?"

Shuger sighed.

"You're going to experience more of this in the future."

"You've obviously paid a lot behind the scenes, but you don't get any reward. He doesn't even know you've done so much."

"Do you regret it now?"

Vera bit her lips tightly and said nothing.

But those misty tearful eyes were still looking in the direction where Faro left.

Shug is a being known as an extraterritorial demon. People generally understand it as an evil spirit that has no emotions and can only use forbidden and twisted means to corrupt people.

But in reality this is not the case. Its lifespan is longer than that of a dragon. It has lived for several epochs, and its understanding of emotions is much more mature than that of humans, whose lifespan is only a hundred years.

But even it couldn't help but lament Vera's current predicament.

"Are you thinking of confessing to him now that you signed a contract with me to help him avoid his destined death, and that you have been silently paying for him behind his back, but he has no idea about it."

Shuger asked.

Vera wiped away two lines of tears and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"What would happen if I told him? He wouldn't believe it. He would just think I was making it up to gain his sympathy."

"Besides, how could you possibly agree to me exposing you?"

"You are already living in my body. If others become suspicious, you will be courting death."

When Xiu Ge heard this, he retorted:

"Whether he believes it or not is his business, but the second half of your sentence is wrong."

"What do you think I am, some lowly demon like dust?"

"It is true that I can move around in the world because I am living in your body, but I am not afraid of humans. Even if the strong men of the entire empire come to surround me, they cannot kill me."

"So I'm not afraid of being exposed at all. What I'm afraid of is that my host will be exposed. You could have been another carrier of me. It would be a shame if you were killed."

Vera frowned:

"So you're not actually afraid of the Empire?"

"Yes."

"If you feel that Faro trusts you enough, there's no harm in telling him. I can see that he still cares about you. If others knew that Shuger was inside you, you would definitely not survive."

"So he won't reveal information about me to others."

Xiu Ge's tone was normal, as if he was just saying something trivial.

But Vera was thrilled.

If Faro could really understand the truth, then his attitude towards himself would definitely change.

This was a life-saving favor, no less than that of Claire.

She needs an opportunity.

Faro was surprised, moved, and sincerely thanked her for her efforts. Then he felt guilty for not knowing that Vera had helped him so much behind the scenes.

Finally, I wanted to double compensate her.

And she didn't want anything else, she just wanted Farlow.

Vera's frown relaxed, and her mood became relaxed and light-hearted, just like the haze in the forest being blown away by the mountain breeze.

Seeing that her mood had improved, Xiu Ge couldn't help but shake his head.

"Human emotions are so superficial and unpredictable."

------

The next morning.

The sun hasn't come out yet, and the clouds in the sky are still a dark blue color.

Farrow's eyelashes fluttered and he opened his eyes.

He didn't sleep for long, but he had many dreams.

All of them were about Claire.

Even though he went to bed very late last night, he got up unusually early this morning.

Just because that name flashed through his mind in the hazy early morning, he no longer had any desire to sleep.

The intoxicating face in the dream just now disappeared as I woke up.

I suddenly felt a strong sense of loss in my heart.

He was going to find Claire.

I have to tell her what happened last night.
