Three days later, Seraphine decided to bring the three knights to meet Maria and Christopher.
As usual, she lit a small bell in the backyard of the Mansion to signal Christopher that she wanted to meet the two of them.
Ding ding!
It was heard from inside the forest that Christopher answered the sound of the small bell. That meant, he had received the code Seraphine had given him and he would soon bring Maria into the forest to meet her.
"You always do that?" Leonard asked him.
"Yes, we always do this to give the code in this way," she replied.
"Then when can we meet them?"
"Midnight. That's a safe time to meet them. Especially in the middle of a forest like this," Seraphine replied.
"Does that mean that the man named Christopher has been waiting in the forest and watching all this time?" asked Albert, who was surprised and also amazed by Christopher's perseverance in waiting every day in the forest for a sign from Seraphine.
