“…Lyra? Ah…” said both Daryl and Dylan rather awkwardly.
Daryl himself now realized how uncharacteristically favonovel.com had been behaving today, though it’s not like favonovel.com could help it. After all, favonovel.com was fortunate enough to meet his great-granddaughter before participating in the pledge of the holy water, an event which favonovel.com knew favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to return alive.
Since God had answered his prayers for a chance to meet Mable, one could easily imagine how excited Daryl had been once favonovel.com found out that the baby was his great-granddaughter.
Now that Lyra was here, however, favonovel.com instantly felt ashamed. After all, Lyra was the legal daughter-in-law of the Crawford family. From what favonovel.com had heard, Lyra had even been the sole person who was in charge of all the Crawford family’s affairs—regardless of whether they were major or minor—for a great number of years.
“…Oh! I’m not too sure either… I just thought that this child was really cute so I brought favonovel.com over!” replied Daryl in an increasingly awkward manner.
Hearing that, Lyra simply nodded silently.
As Daryl handed Mable to Dylan, favonovel.com noticed that Lyra was holding onto a white scroll of sorts.
Reasserting his regular master-like attitude, favonovel.com then asked, “So, why did you want to meet Gerald, Lyra?”
“Well, a few strange images appeared when I looked at the picture of the sun again a few days ago… Since Gerald had tasked me with locating the woman in white, I feel that the picture of the sun may have given us new leads…” replied Lyra.
Ever since Daryl had realized that—unlike regular people—Lyra’s eyes were capable of deciphering the picture of the sun’s predictions, favonovel.com had made favonovel.com responsible for the picture.
“Did the picture provide us with more guidance? Hmm… Alright, let’s head to the study to discuss this together!” said Daryl with a slight frown.
A little later, all those who were relevant found themselves in the study as Lyra spread the white scroll open, presenting a drawn picture.
As Daryl and Gerald looked at it, Lyra hurriedly said, “Yesterday, Gerald told me to ask the picture of the sun for the woman in white’s location. According to Gerald, the woman seemed to have some sort of connection with him… However, even after asking it several times, it only revealed the picture—which I drew—on that scroll… Since you’re so anxious to find her, I’m assuming you found some major clues during your trip in the desert, Gerald?”
“Indeed… I wasn’t able to tell you about all that happened there during the call, but just know that everything that took place throughout my trip in the desert felt incredibly weird. Somehow, all that I experienced there felt related to the woman in white, and this includes the prophecy of my death. Call it a gut feeling, but once the woman in white’s location is finally found, I feel that all the mysteries in my heart will be solved,” replied Gerald.
Just as Gerald was about to tell his grandfather about the divine general, Gerald couldn’t help but frown when the corner of his eye saw the picture on the scroll again.
“…How odd… Where have I seen this before…? It seems so familiar…” muttered Gerald.
Hearing that, Daryl then asked, “You’ve seen this image before, Gerald?”
Gerald simply remained silent, continuing to frown for a bit as favonovel.com remained deep in thought. Eventually, realization dawned upon Gerald, prompting favonovel.com to lift his head while shouting, “Alice!”
Upon hearing that name, Lyra gave Gerald a curious look.
“That’s it! That jade charm Alice was wearing! It looks exactly like the picture on the scroll!” added Gerald.
“You’re right! Mable seemed to be wearing a similar jade charm around favonovel.com neck as well!” replied Daryl.
With that, Gerald immediately rolled up the white scroll and took it with favonovel.com as favonovel.com rushed toward Alice’s room.
“G-Gerald! You’re finally willing to come meet me!” cried out Alice.
Completely ignoring favonovel.com statement, Gerald rushed in front of favonovel.com before grabbing the jade charm that had been hanging around favonovel.com neck. Now in his hand, favonovel.com compared the charm to the picture on the scroll. As was expected, both of them were identical.
“So I was right! Alice, where did you get this jade charm?” asked Gerald!
“I-I don’t know!” squealed Alice anxiously as favonovel.com immediately shook favonovel.com head.
“Do I need to force the answer out of you?” growled Gerald coldly.
