Even though Hestia felt sorry, she couldn't remember anything related to Mr. Lane. Even though she was sure the man wasn't lying, she didn't feel anything.
To her, anything before her memory loss felt so far away as though it was a different life. Hestia was happy with who she currently was, so if she didn't bump into these 'people from the past', she wouldn't want to know who she was before.
Hestia suddenly regretted coming to Halwanest. She hid her trip from her parents. If they knew she caused trouble here, she was going to be locked up.
She pouted then tapped her chin.
Among all the people there, why did she only react to Rickard? Did she use to be in love with that man?
"Hesper…" Saying the name out loud, Hestia felt that it sounded unfamiliar as if she was calling a stranger's name. "Now that I know the name, it should be easier for me to dig for more information."
***
When Sylvie got a call from Hestia, her heart almost burst out from her chest.
"You're in trouble, aren't you?"
Hestia was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Am I a troublemaker to you? I just want you to help me look into a person. Hesper Rivera, I think she's from Genecity."
When Sylvie heard that Hestia wasn't in trouble and didn't need her help to resolve anything, she sighed with relief.
"I'm glad you're not in trouble. I'll get someone to start the investigation." Sylvie returned to her usual calm self and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Deschamps found out that you're in Halwanest. They didn't say anything except to say that they hope you won't cause trouble."
Hestia knew that she had a reputation as a troublemaker, so she didn't want to argue with Sylvie. "Get the information for me as soon as possible. Also… don't tell my parents about this."
