NovelEnglish“Aren’t you sorry for your dead grandmother-in-law? She was such a perfect woman. If she knew, she would consider you a disgrace.”
As the head of the family got irate, Gale became restless.
“Lord, please don’t get upset.”
“Please breathe easy, Gaju.”
At that time, Elisha spoke calmly.
“I hold no resentment. It’s all in the past.”
“Look at Elisha. This child doesn’t even blame you.”
“This… … . This doesn’t make sense. How—? You set up Carola in this trap… … . You—Bad bitch—”
Carola’s whole body trembled.

“What’s going on, Lucerne?”
“It appears that there is a knight who tried to leave the Order without permission.”
The commotion that occurred this morning could never spread outside. So not only employees but also knights were ordered to temporarily cease from going out. Therefore, a knight who went out without permission was treated as a deserter and could be severely punished.
“Who was it?”
“It’s a knight named Zain.”
The patriarch’s brow furrowed.
“Isn’t that Jacob’s knight?”
“I suppose so. Running away at a time like this? I thought it was strange, so I asked them to bring him in,”
Lucerne said. Soon Zain was brought in.
He had a black bruise around his eye. It was the work of Lucerne’s knights.
“Why did you run away?”
Gaju looked at Zain and asked expressionlessly. His whole body was shaking.
As soon as Zain and Pansy came out of the barn, Pansy was taken away by the people of the family home. Zain couldn’t even notify his superior, Jacob, to save him.
Jacob would be gnashing his teeth at them. If Zain had violated Elisha last night as ordered, things wouldn’t have gotten this messed up. He had an accurate premonition:
‘There is no way for me to get out of this alive, Jacob will take his anger out on me.’
As soon as Zain went to the knights’ quarters, he was taken into custody by them and bound. While desperately running away, Lucerne’s knights descended and captured him again.
“It’s—I am… … . Well—that… … . I don’t know anything. Please spare me.”
“Zain! Tell them! You’re married to Elisha. Aren’t you? You need to find your wife!”
Carola spat out to Zain as if she couldn’t stand it. At that shout, Gaju glanced at him. The patriarch traced his memories and finally remembered that the knight who killed Count Lor a long time ago was Zain.

“Ah, well—”
“The man is currently engaged to Carola’s maid,”
Lucerne said briefly.
“Then bring that maid first. If you whip her in front of him, he’ll probably get let out about why he’s acting suspiciously.”
The Head spoke briefly.
“Please forgive me!”
Zain begged.
This morning. Lucerne trampled on the fallen Zain and spoke.
‘Tell the patriarch what Carola ordered you to do. Then I’ll protect you from Jacob. If it’s all Carola’s fault, you will be able to avoid the blades of the patriarch and Jacob.’
Lucerne was a person with overwhelming strength. Zain crawled in front of an absolute wild beast like a cat usually does.
As always, foolish cats were the first to try to avoid the current horror.
