I was expelled from the team and was recruited by the demons?

"Is there any news from the wanted warrant?"

Inside the Morningstar Building, Cynthia fiddled with the quill in her hand, expecting good news from the guild members.

"No... Eli seems to have evaporated from the world, not only us, but almost all the guilds in the royal capital are looking for him, it is possible that Eli has been hidden by them. Anna

, who pushed the door in, casually took the hot tea handed by the waiter and reported to Cynthia.

"Really—"

Cynthia leaned back in her chair and looked at the ceiling above her with some distraction.

Actually, if you think about it... Eli is really good to her.

It's not that Cynthia hasn't been pursued, on the contrary, from the time she was sensible, there were not many people who pursued her.

At a young age, she has already obtained the title of earl, and the Carol family behind her is one of the largest rulers in the royal capital.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a teenager who is proud.

When she was still young, there was no one else around her except the flatterers.

Even now, in the guild, few people dare to question the decisions she makes.

Because of this, although Cynthia seems to be easy to get along with, only those who are really familiar with her know it, and few people can get into her eyes.

Even Eli at the beginning, the same.

But...... Eli didn't seem to be the same as the people she had come into contact with in the past.

In the past few days since Eli quit the team, Cynthia has thought a lot.

From the first meeting with Eli to Eli's decision to quit the team, a lot has happened between the two of them.

Perhaps the most special thing about Eli is that he doesn't have that sense of humility as a civilian.

Cynthia's initial interest in Eli wasn't because of his endless maze tactics.

Almost all of the high-level leaders of Morning Star are the children of nobles from wealthy families.

This is true for both Anna and Winnie.

Because of this, the civilians in the guild will always not be able to raise their heads when facing them.

Cynthia saw all these things, but she didn't break it as a nobleman.

But Eli....

From the day he joined Morningstar, it seemed that he had never felt inferior because of his civilian status.

On the contrary, whenever Winnie objected to his decision to attack the labyrinth, Eli would often point at Winnie's nose angrily for her unreasonable stupid opinion.

I remember the first time she saw Eli's appearance, Cynthia couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, Eli is the only one who is extremely gentle with Cynthia.

Cynthia clearly remembers that when Eli was still in the guild, she would remind herself to stay safe every time she developed a tactic.

Every time the troops are arranged, Cynthia is always put in a relatively safe position.

In daily interactions, Eli always brings her a series of unexpected surprises.

The most unexpected thing is that on one occasion, Eli carved the amethyst found in the labyrinth into crystal beads one by one, and strung a delicate and gorgeous crystal necklace for her.

How difficult amethyst is to carve, Cynthia knows.

With Eli's level 30 forging profession alone, it must have taken him an unknown number of days and nights to successfully carve the finished product.

But that necklace... Cynthia never wore it.

Thinking about it now, the look of disappointment in Eli's eyes at that time, she may not have been unaware of it.

Rather, they perceive it, but habitually ignore it.

Since the necklace incident, Eli doesn't seem to take the initiative to talk to her very often.

Even when it came time to retire from the team at the end, Eli's performance was very flat.

At that time, Cynthia still felt that Eli was no different from the men of the past, she just didn't wear the necklace, and she didn't confiscate his gifts.

To this day, Cynthia still thinks Eli was making a bit of a fuss at the time.

......

Thinking of this, Cynthia subconsciously opened the drawer in front of her.

found the amethyst necklace that should have been placed there, and I don't know where it went.

"Anna, before me... There is a necklace here, do you have an impression, I can't find it.

Cynthia pulled out the entire drawer, but there was still no sign of the necklace.

"President, in the previous strategy operation, everyone sold everything in their hands in order to raise money to buy equipment... I remember that among the things you were selling, there seemed to be an amethyst necklace. Anna

thought for a moment, then replied.

I...... Sold it?

Cynthia was slightly stunned, then asked in a trembling voice,

"The person in charge of selling equipment... Who is it? "

She had a bad premonition, a very bad premonition.

"It's Eli... He handled the housekeeping of all the big and small in our guild before. Anna's

words pierced Cynthia's heart like a sharp thorn.

So to speak, she....

Let Eli sell the necklace he gave him?

A strange feeling rose through Cynthia's heart, and she suddenly felt that Eli really wasn't coming back.

Eli wasn't trying to make a fuss, and he wasn't trying to get away with her.

He's real, and he's not going back to the Morningstar Guild.

"Prepare the horse, I'm going to find him."

Cynthia struggled to her feet, her voice trembling.

"Looking for whom?"

Anna was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, and immediately stopped in front of Cynthia

, and said, "President, you are the signboard of the Morning Star and the heir of the Carol family,

do you know what you are talking about?"

Anna's words instantly pulled Cynthia's thoughts back to reality.

yes....

She is Cynthia, who holds the title of count. Carol is also the president of the Morningstar Guild.

If she puts down her figure, it is not only herself who will be discredited, but also the lintel of the Morningstar Guild and the Carol family.

As for Eli, he's just... Civilians.

What qualifications does he have to put down his body to negotiate?

Cynthia took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and regained her cold appearance again.

"You don't have to worry about Eli's affairs, Winnie and I will take care of it."

Anna assured Cynthia.

"Go ahead."

Cynthia's voice was cold, as if the previous mood swings were all faked.

"Definitely."

After Anna pushed the door open, Cynthia turned to stand in front of the window again, staring silently at the crowd below.

Eli, I won't regret it.

To me, you're no different from those men.

I want you back just because I value your abilities.

Cynthia folded her arms, her eyes gradually becoming a little hollow.

So, don't think that your actions that move me can shake my mind.

Even if the morning star leaves you, it still turns.

The one who regrets it should be you, not me.

Cynthia's hand clenched her sleeve tightly and closed her eyes slightly.

Even she didn't know.

The last voice is to comfort yourself, or to force yourself to cheer up.
