Chapter 81 (1/2)
Night fell over the inner city, and with it, a quiet over the streets of the Royal Ballroom
On one of those streets was Elizabeth; a girl that had just left the Ballroom She hurriedly disee, only to head for another one down the street a few hurried steps later
”Teacher, I have arrived” she said as he entered the parked carriage and shut the door, looking at the only other person acco her
It was an elderly person, sitting gingerly across froe
This was the ‘teacher’ that Elizabeth had addressed, this figure clad in a long robe of viridian with a cautious expression His chest rapped in rolls of bandages, as if covering a fresh, still bleeding wound
This man was the same one Benjae from the Academy of Silence
”Are you ready?” The elderly e warned Elizabeth with a heavy tone, ”Once we depart, you will have to leave your parents behind, possibly never seeing theain”
Elizabeth sat solemnly, and without words, nodded her head
The teacher, also silent, turned around and instructed the driver to set off
With a crack of the whip, and sound of horses echoed down the silent street, and the carriage ed froo turned around and did the same
On the journey
”And don’t get too edo with the Church, other factions are working in the dark, behind the scenes Soo underway eventually” the teacher warned He then whipped around again, looking at Elizabeth, ”For your own safety, we have to bring you back; we can no longer teach you ic in the capital”
Elizabeth frowned a little, but ed to show a calm smile, and replied ”I understand”

”What’s happened here?” Benja the street as he stepped out froe
Just a o, he was already shook to the core by Grant’s ho to go home and have some solitude However, it seeht, and decided to offer him a road block on the way home
”If I hts questioned
”I am Benjamin Lithur” He frowned and answered
”What on earth, was it tihts all over the place questioning people at this tiht to himself
”Ah, a nobleman froht nodded, but froht hint of disrespect ”You’ve just came out from the Princess’ birthday ball, no?”
Benjamin nodded, and said: ”I’ve had a bit too much to drink and I don’t feel very pleasant I’d like to be on my way home”
As the words left his
What was the Church up to this time?
However, after looking at the knights for a while longer, Benjaed his mind
