Cain: "Does Molly feel better now?"

Lief: "Yes. She's not in danger anymore. But, it was in great dangerous Like what Young Master said, she is poisoned..." , shows the boutique ribbon, "Part of the boutique ribbon colour was changed... Molly was stung by the poisoned neddle hidden inside ."

Cain figuring:
It's probably done by a person who is not good at poison. The person didn't calcualte the portion.. If it was by 'DELIAH', it would not counfuse me as Molly ... And so... That 'fellow' behaviour....

Lucinda (to a chambermiad who is going to Cain's room): "You there... I want to speak to the Count. And for the tea, let me help you, can I?"

Lucinda holds the tea tray to Cain's room. She adds something into the tea from her opened ring.

In Cain's Room:
Lucinda: "Acutally... I've known him before, and for personal sake, I don't think it's convenience for me working together with that butler... "

Cain (reading a book) <reading again? Cain must be a book worm. Is that book related to poison, or detective story? Or, Edgar Alan Poe's work?> "It's okay for your resignation. By all means."

Lucinda: " Er?"

Cain (close the book) <finished already? So fast!> "There are many people to replace you. But for Lief, no one can."

Lucinda (wide eyes open): "... I understand then... So, please let me use this cup of tea as my apology..."

Downstairs:
Lief (anxiously): "What did you say?! You let Lucinda serves the tea to Young Master Cain?"

Chambermaid: "Could I ... ? "

In Cain's Room:
Cain drinks the tea and Lucinda is watching.

Lief (opens the door anxiously): "YOUNG MASTER CAIN ! "

Young Master Cain !!

Lief takes away the cup of tea and throws it towards a small aquariam. For a sudden, all the fishes in the aquariam died right away.

Lucinda , frightened
Lief, nervous
Cain, care not

Cain: "I didn't drink, just pretended. That kind of strong sulphur, even added into the tea, still can't drink. For that kind of poison, you used 'Okisaminu' <dont' ask me what it is.. I am clueless, sorry. Anyway, it's a type of poision>, didnt' you? Only the criminal himself knew where the poisoned needle was. Yesterday, your quick response to the fallen boutique was too obvious", catches Lucinda's hand and shows her ring, "I don't know why you hate me. But, I won't be assassinated by that kind of naive way! The poison is kept in the ring, isn't it? "

Lucinda: "And so, you die by falling right away !"

Lucinda pushes Cain away to the balcony.
Lief catches Cain and holds him.

Cain: "Lief... !! You are always response slow, and now you..."

During the struggle, Lucinda nearly fell down. She holds the balcony rail to support herself.

Lucinda (in pain): "Wo....!"

Lief (truns around and see Lucinda is in danger): "Lucinda ... !", tries to pull Lucinda back, "Lucinda... from the past, I wanted to be a doctor so as to save. But after that event, I lost everything... And i was dead once. Me, as a soulless person; the little master, as a love saking person... Because of the existence of Young Master Cain, have I got my life again. And now, the one and only thing for me to live is protecing him. And for your hatered to me, you go for me, not him!"

Lucinda, I got my life again because of him.

Lief: "Therefore, if you intend to hazardous this family again, I now will let me hands off, without hestitation."

Lucinda: "No... No.. I'm so frightened!! Pull me back, Lief .. I will not do anything more.. Please Help ----- !!"

Lief pulled Lucinda back.
Lucinda sits on the floor....

Lucinda: "I HATE YOU.. ! ", cries aloud with rolling tears, "You took away my love, Clyde.. And so, I had to take away your most important thing in life! But, what made me suffering is, no matter how hard I blamed you... you never deny nor punish me - who once betrayed you... ! !"

Lief: "Farewell, Lucinda. Don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I don't have the confidence to control myself."

 

=Later=
Cain (playing the rose petals): "Ar... Ar... So? What's her relationship with you? I was nearly killed, and so I probably have the right to know?"

Lief: "Fiance."
