When Carlton arrived at Edgar’s residence to report Lydia’s disappearance, it was clear that he had already been from pillar to post in search of his daughter. He had come on foot, too, apparently having forgotten that a carriage would have been much faster. The housekeeper had informed him that Lydia had come home just past noon and holed herself up in Carlton’s study, only to leave again in the evening. She had said that she was going to deliver a lost item and wasn’t dressed as though she planned to be out for long.

“Forgive me, my lord. I wondered whether she hadn’t returned here on some errand.” Seeing that Lydia hadn’t come to the door, Carlton immediately turned to leave.

Edgar stopped him. “Please do not fret, Professor Carlton. I have a line of inquiry that I shall pursue.” He called for Raven while his butler prepared his overcoat and hat.

Rosalie was the first face that came to mind upon hearing Carlton’s report. When they had returned to his residence after the concert, she was making a fuss about having dropped something. Raven had informed her that he had handed such an item to Lydia, at which point Rosalie’s face flushed with intense emotion, and she had barreled out of the mansion. Raven had described the object as something akin to an Easter Egg, but Edgar had sensed that it was the Fairy’s Egg that had once belonged to him.

In the spacious manor house where Edgar had grown up, there had been a cabinet of curiosities, a room bursting with articles from all around the world and spanning several centuries that had been collected over several generations. Its purpose was to inspire wonder in the guests who saw it. There were countless objects with questionable histories, including mummies and taxidermies of unknown origins. Though crass, it was quite common for nobles to hold such items dear.

The Fairy’s Egg was a part of that collection. The outside was striped with thin veins, and the inside encased a small amount of water. As a child, Edgar had been taken with the mysterious shadow of the liquid as it moved. He hadn’t known its name, its past, or that it was an agate, and in his naivety he had taken it from his father’s collection. He recalled keeping it constantly in his pocket, but he couldn’t remember when he had lost it. Until, that was, he found out that Rosalie had it.

Edgar had first met Rosalie at a noblewoman’s tea party. She had declared that the fairy eggs used in fortune telling were toys designed to trick children and had produced the agate to show them. In that single moment, the fragments of his memory rejoined.

Tied up and with a foggy mind, he had awoken in a chilly room. He had only half-awoken from a torturous nightmare and found himself deathly afraid of the Fogman’s presence. There he saw two girls, whom he took to be illusionary. He remembered relinquishing that agate, which had never left his side, to them.
