Thank you for translating another chapter!

Since I've been waiting for this moment, of MC meeting his past Gf; I am actually getting hooked again on the story!

I can't make sense of this:

• He and Teresa made a suicide pact.
• Why? How was that supposed to help?
• From this, it seems that she even prevented him from murdering her malefactors. (And keep in mind that she already had her hands dirty with espionage and betrayal, so she's far from a saint.)
• By dying he removes himself from being a pillar from the kingdom.
• And if she dies, that seems unlikely to save her brother. More likely the brother would be killed as no longer useful.
• And if she didn't die in the suicide pact, then it's pretty clear that she betrayed him.
• And why doesn't Maria see it that way? Why isn't she asking why Teresa isn't dead, as per their pact? Maria should be blaming Teresa, not blaming herself.
• And keep in mind that it's been roughly 15 years. She ain't a spring chicken anymore.
• Incidentally, Maria isn't the same as Albright -- we've seen hints that she's leaning more towards men these days.

Man's asking the right questions

How high is the chance that the mysterious black-haired figure is Teresa’s brother?

I don’t remember much about this manga, but usually in this type of setting, the hostages aren’t always aware of the situation, and if they know nothing, they don’t need to be silenced. If my suspicion was right and the figure is indeed the brother, he might have come to uncover the disappearance of his sister.

That was one of the first things I thought when they mentioned the brother in this chapter. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a vengeful male figure grew out their hair before seeking revenge.

That's possible... Though to my mind that it only works with manga/asian logic. From western POV, you're very unlikely to mistake a man for a woman. But a lot of JP stories have the idea androgynous beauty standards. (E.g. Jinshi from Apothecary Diaries.) (BTW, aside from facial features, there's body build and movement to give it away.)

The encounter scene made very little sense to me. Supposedly all that Maria saw was the hair of a person wearing a cloak. How was this possibly enough to for her to be certain(?) that it was Teresa? At most her reaction should be "Oh, a person from totally-not-Japan!"

BTW: JP trope... A small island, far to the east, which is the sole source of people with black hair and black eyes.

Why would you not stand by the criminals until the authorities show up? Even if they're tied up, there's no guarantee they'll not escape or, in this case, be killed before they're taken away.
