Hughes told Ronald that there was no problem with the time consumption.

When I arrived at my destination in a horse-drawn carriage, exactly sixteen minutes had passed.

Driven by money, the driver's bold driving and the guarantee of technology still helped Ronald save a few minutes of time.

"Thank you, sir."

Turning to hand over the carriage to the owner, Ronald walked into the Lilac Path Garden.

Twenty minutes ago, the thing with the name 'Lumir' had been in this place.

With the double assurance of royalty and Claudia's friend, Ronald had great confidence in the accuracy of this prophetic spell.

So is this guy still here......

With great caution and prudence, Ronald began the search.

During this season, there are plenty of decorative greenery around the Lilac Path Garden, and it's well maintained.

Flowers such as primroses and begonias that bloom in early spring are often seen here.

In a city like Springs, with such a fresh and pleasant environment, it's no surprise that there are people who like to spend time here.

In the case of what Ronald witnessed directly, the noblewomen and girls walking in the garden were at least in the double digits.

——It is a veritable rich area.

So while no one was paying attention when he just came in, Ronald whispered:

"Volume 11, page 260, item 6."

"Its name is Styx.

The black water flowed down to the foot of the dark and precipitous cliff.

……”

After activating the spells of 'rage' and the lie detector in succession, Ronald continued to go deeper into the garden.

Surrounded by the ability to sense emotions and the discernment of a lie detector, he can now search with a very high degree of accuracy.

So Ronald walked through the garden with a rather flamboyant footstep, and he didn't mind at all that the maiden in the garden was looking at him.

But in reality, that's what Ronald is aiming for.

Ronald is well aware of the usefulness of his face, and what kind of emotional fluctuations ordinary girls will have when they see it.

If someone in the Lilac Path garden sees themselves in fear.

Then this guy is most likely Lumir in disguise.

Only this guy would have such emotions because of what happened to him in Montenegro.

Even if the opponent can quickly control his mentality, Ronald is sure that he can seize that fleeting moment.

However, the truth is a bit disappointing.

Maintaining his ability to sense emotions, Ronald walked around the Lilac Path Garden as fast as he could, but even though many girls cast admiring glances at him, it still didn't make anyone feel even a moment of fear.

Rightfully so, Ronald sighed slightly.

I guess I'm still a step too late.

Ronald didn't think that this situation would leak the news, so Lumir's departure was either a coincidence, or the other party also had some kind of efficient investigative means and then detected his arrival in advance

Which one will it be......

"First...... Sir, can I excuse you? ”

Just as Ronald was thinking so, a well-dressed girl approached at the instigation of her friend.

Ronald nodded lightly:

"Excuse me?"

Standing a little cramped in front of Ronald, the girl took a deep breath after speaking, and then continued to raise her hand and squeeze her handkerchief and salute:

"The ......"

"Sir, I see that the weather is fine today, would you like to go with me for a cup of afternoon tea?"

"Forehead ......"

Faced with the girl's invitation, Ronald's expression froze.

After the crossing, he made up a lot of homework, including some on aristocratic etiquette.

The girl's gesture of pinching her handkerchief and saluting at this moment, as well as the act of inviting herself to tea, are already 100% clear.

This girl hopes to develop a relationship with Ronald between men and women.

It seems that not only did he not find Lumir today, but he will also refuse the girl's invitation......

Thinking so in his heart, Ronald immediately put on an apologetic look:

"This young lady, I am very ....."

“……”

"Sir, can you listen to me first?"

Ronald was only halfway through his words when the young girl, who had been in the social circle for many years, sensed that he was about to say no.

So immediately interrupted Ronald anxiously, and the girl almost rushed to say:

"Elmoth, I'm Claire, the daughter of Earl Elmoth!"

"If you are willing to drink this afternoon tea with me, I believe we will have a more pleasant process of getting along in the future!"

“……”

Ronald was briefly stunned.

This girl...... This girl is really bold and straightforward.

In addition to the obvious invitation to Ronald at the beginning, she now even directly reports her wealthy family background in the hope of impressing Ronald.

This kind of initiative and generosity......

Ronald actually doesn't hate it.

It's a pity that now he has no plans to fall in love with a girl, and Ronald has his own things to do.

I quickly built an excuse in my mind that might help.

Ronald shook his head with a regretful expression:

"This lady, I'm really embarrassed."

"I'm here to help a friend find a girl. About twenty minutes ago, he met a beautiful lady here. However, the other party seemed to have something urgent, and immediately left this side in a hurry. My friend couldn't catch up with the girl because I was waiting. ”

"I came to Lilac Path Garden after talking about it at the door."

"After all, if the two of them have fate, then it's better not to be interrupted by reasons like mine."

“……”

"Ah, is that so?"

Hearing Ronald's explanation, the girl's expression was a little stunned at first.

After Ronald looked carefully on his face, and then felt that the man in front of her was indeed in trouble, she shook her head with a complicated expression:

"Sir, you are so gentle."

"But if that's the case, then you can wait a little longer."

"If we can, my friends and I might be able to discuss this and give you some help."

It was a bonus.

Ronald's original plan was to deal with the young girl and go to the people in the garden to inquire about the news.

But if, as the girl said, let the other party discuss it with her friend......

It is easy to see which method is more convenient between strangers and acquaintances.

So in a very sincere tone, Ronald nodded in thanks:

"If you really can, then I'll bother you."

“……”

In the face of Ronald's thanks, the girl smiled slightly:

"Then sir, don't mind telling me your name now, do you?"

Ronald replied without hesitation:

"Ronald, Ronald Adler."

"Just call me Ronald."
