87 - Restlessness Desire

"Here's the thing. To get out of here and strike back at Frederick, the first thing you have to do is win back Matthias' love," he said with a serious look on his face.

"Speaking of which, Isabelle. You ... How did you meet your biological parents?" he asked suddenly, which made me jump quite a bit too.

"Er ..." I mumbled while racking my brain. "Frederick was the one who brought me together with them. But I don't know the details. You can imagine, right? Being trapped here thanks to his ridiculous manipulations doesn't leave me much time to talk freely to my parents."
