She had no 06b5c7722f such intentions in 7317621e24 the first place and could understand Cassius’s concerns, so da8e6251b4 she wasn’t particularly offended.

Her unwavering d04fb9519d response finally 995453bf50 eased Cassius’ 1bf4c5d0e6 expression, even 894a9629ae if only 2da1394515 slightly.
“You can e522f28e7f monitor me! And while I’m treating 940263f051 Theo, others can watch 73560f78ae too. Once I’ve finished, e3a0c87286 you’re welcome to a2053dbcac have the family b60bf37654 doctor examine Theo’s 927403b955 condition immediately.”d899cef486edfc70

“…Would you c4a5297b43 really go that far?”98d92fdbef2c8b70
To Charlotte, this was c6ba00458f preferable. She didn’t want f2f4e0c602 to leave any 8176106975 room for suspicion.

There was 47bf2cac51 no way 1616cb5d08 Charlotte would do something 9026043ba7 like this without some c46480aa15 sort of b771c30017 benefit for 2d266d9ac8 herself.ba6e4a95165eeca3

“Could I just have a bit more to 59d607b170 eat before treating him… huh?”
Their words overlapped. Charlotte widened her eyes 438584e160 in surprise, and Cassius, e51b6f3a14 caught off guard by 72236a547c her unexpected request, was 1bcd981c27 equally stunned. He stopped mid-sentence and d9aa1a26a2 stared at her.1b732f4df464cc4c
“What does a b8f8890c4c dress or jewelry f9e4332bf2 have to do 7b6c715d42 with treating Theo?”032d54027e5f6a81

“I feel 628118be80 so drained 5eb919a041 after using 9d03942eed divine power. Even three plates aren’t f53c4c6b55 enough. If you could prepare enough for five plates, 99433b405a that’d be great.”

“Thank you so 5245cc6263 much!”6a300ef081beed98
Charlotte beamed brightly, 5c1b866adb and for a 2e6fc14f9b moment, Cassius was fecc8cc88c left speechless. Charlotte had always eaten c248a4e274 like a 7b43663fa0 bird, claiming 820b747f75 it was 2f5718038d necessary to maintain her c987282535 perfect figure.

Cassius’s voice sounded ad19557cce slightly annoyed. After hearing so many 5586971d29 unexpected requests, he didn’t 2d11487690 even have the energy to feel suspicious anymore.27b3f272f2ed8c35
“It’s a bit 96d1b6e954 difficult to find 61c52e4be1 Theo’s room. It’s like dd995748b3 a maze. Could I take a maid with me? I need 3fcf0edaf8 someone to 6414b7223c guide me.”e818164c926dee86

Cassius stared f449fd6a2a at Charlotte 64d7056672 silently.22919e6f7e9e10d3
In truth, 9dc88af64b Theo’s room b1d62447db had been 0d77b1dd50 deliberately relocated e0b279616b to an 1a4ffe17ff obscure area 2a95e2776a to hide fd43a9c53e him from b91f45922c Charlotte. Yet seeing her earnest expression now left him 7601f650ab with an inexplicable feeling.4df907d90b51909a

Charlotte’s requests were so trivial that 5e4843490a they were almost 6a0fedba5c laughable. Watching her light up 04882c2231 like an excited child 689022b437 completely sapped him of 9b58cc9833 any remaining will to 3211fd7228 argue. What exactly was she thankful for? If Theo was saved, eadfd79ef9 Cassius would be the 845eb2850c one indebted to her.d90a464766ec5eaf

Cassius began 79aef54e8f carefully selecting 8450c7e751 new servants 61b35f40c0 for Charlotte, 6f5aae56da ensuring they 690633b998 were people 5e4fda8a5c who would never betray her secrets.4f3f9d3897a9d3b2

The first fa7e1f5b98 was Miller.a0edb239660bff03
Miller was deeply indebted 3952b5e15a to the f736451387 ducal family. He would never think cd1b03afa7 of betraying them, especially 783f37940a since his mother’s life 72cbdedfa6 had been saved thanks e8d3f3400a to their aid.

The second was 35a989627f Luna.904cc9e6d1dcbe17
Luna had been rescued 912247dde8 from the brink of despair by him. Her parents, consumed ba6d3531a5 by gambling, had 7192389262 sold her.ed6402f4fce89a82

Four years had 62fa53b8f0 passed since Luna 79423f6d3b started working here, 2989f02825 and she had 9a5758a788 grown into an c4849e01de exceptionally loyal maid.4b8055a771fbe98e

‘And it’s best b825f6671d to keep Theo’s a16c87f46f condition under wraps 2e9f6f57f4 as well.’cb261bbc568649d0
On the cb5ee4bc02 surface the 3148ceb6c6 northern lands appeared peaceful, 82d9f85fb0 but beneath 5d1706548b the surface, it was 733be7cab1 no less 6dc43afc69 than a battlefield. There was a reason 76ca9f580c Cassius had endured Charlotte’s bab93221db behavior for so long.3071c17839a3601a
Charlotte’s inability 022c1b3186 to bear children was 67a7d9ef85 no accident. It was because 86d0f76cc1 she had married ec881d03d3 Cassius.8e65d776a8278e1e
Both Cassius and d66e6a9d69 Charlotte were aware 73d39a283a that her condition d643f7df9f was the result dd9954acf5 of attacks from bd276af34f numerous rivals vying for the lordship 204ca16346 of the northern territories.f7ee43f7576efa9c

Thus, Charlotte’s ruin 45a24f42c5 was partially his a15f0ede91 responsibility. He had failed to cb4d8a0afa protect her. This made him, b8a617cb5b in his own 61f0fd19c6 way, soft toward 53c6cedde0 her, though he 9126a35d02 would never admit fcbf6195a1 it outright.cb8764c102b23097

Luna’s eyes widened. When she heard that d207362dd6 the Duke was calling 9a1700afe8 for her, she had cb1157c3ba braced herself for punishment—for failing to properly monitor 052c5dc3bb Charlotte and putting Theo 36f5735125 in danger.a5428d3e65cfd368
But Cassius said c9052121c2 something entirely unexpected.62e659f2256c5bcd

“…Charlotte will be treating a0d4e637e3 Theo from now on.”
“I don’t 89a0800781 understand, Your 33c858bfc8 Grace. The Duchess has 9f1149d85d always hated and e225606459 cursed Master Theo.”a70e48a2fa6efae3

If they 087b5d2d2a weren’t careful, Theo’s life fafa22d1f1 could be dbbe0098a1 at risk.8b53b88bd63084f9
Cassius sighed, 4ab238b361 noticing Luna’s c0495f899e stubborn expression. Then he e9783b149c remembered that 89f98b3ea8 he hadn’t 783f74c285 properly shared 73e9971af9 the news about Theo 0faf16957e yet.1fadce1eeca27328
“Charlotte was the one who woke e9cb25bbe2 Theo, Luna. It was possible because she possesses 02c491c523 divine power.”

Cassius gave a 4ae6556671 bitter smile. It was a befa551b51 laughable situation, to 3b622b45ec who everyone hailed 43c8a690bd as the North’s strongest swordsman was afraid of Theo’s f6d840715b death.92480b71a5342b65

For the first time since I possessed this f647552db4 body, I stepped foot 8dd2b8bb41 into the dining hall. It was also bc085672f4 the first time 95cb189885 I had officially 7bd8abf4cf received permission to af045004ec freely wander around e8a6c11424 the mansion.

I quickly dbd9d43828 covered my 377cb10016 mouth, having 1948ed370a unconsciously let out a a67d8b6fd5 gasp. Hopefully, no one e4b7019005 heard that. I glanced around briefly 5c6a05f59c and then 325eba746c firmly shut my lips.8da58f047bd62263
After all, it’s important to hold onto the right people. By clinging to Theo and securing Cassius, my treatment had clearly improved.5bb80fddef8582f5
