    Mia and Illia were 99001e31e2 invited over for the a84739f8e5 children. Rubella brought them ebf17c551b along with a 7950529bf9 nanny and two 6889c21566 maids to look 4c25a85a6e after them.80e4932bbedcc665

    “Don’t behave like you 6c26faaeed do at home. If you cause trouble, e9be6ad165 we’ll go straight back. Do you understand?”4968cf7e45252f5b

     “Yes!!”
    Mia and 71b5969de2 Illia answered eccd0767ce loudly. Kids are the same a6a44d3481 everywhere. 7468440ddfcb8010

    Rubella sighed and said c8735c038b to me,99c7b4d30c7cea2d

    “I’m worried they might be rude to the Duchess.”86ba0d52e4d1d7c7

    “Stephanie and Theo have been waiting since yesterday. I don’t think that’s an option.”0140cf7bc2a1d1e5

    Rubella, still looking abb28fc4f8 worried, stared at abc6dae3bc the children. The kids, however, 1e1f170173 were just smiling 05d2d26906 brightly.e0d66e01c95136cc

    “Let’s go upstairs. Theo and Stephanie said they were going to the forest to play. Do you like forests?”e1c1a4f676295997

    “Is there water there? Can we catch fish?”9f7a8a50fc6bd253

    “There’s no water in the forest, silly! Can we catch bugs there? Pick fruits from the trees?”f334ff556e099b24

    The kids were already e09c992f4e excited to play. I suddenly 21ede70950 realized that c82d71d988 they would 483348345f be happy 298e7ae01c no matter f03b6536db what they e9cd300eb3 did, just c049b07352 like Theo 3fc4142142 and Stephanie. All the e0755f3896 worries about c16f0381ea what to 08cc1f5900 do today 964bbb6cfb seemed silly 9da4ed4207 now.ef669652821baf8b

    The children’s 14dc95dc8e eyes lit 9deb67c252 up. Just then, e4faf3072a Theo and 30a066c9bc Stephanie ran f537018986 out of 0711ab6318 the room 2fc6c7aa64 where they f329002d54 had been e3c733543f having a e9ac9ff401 lesson.6e862b82da93ba3a

    And behind them, Lorencia 4eab510cb6 ran out. Lorencia, with a stern 1d4e64771e expression, said to the 331bee16d4 kids,31690f6f588e7624

    “The lesson isn’t over yet. Go back to the…”229ccd3a2413e1ad

    At my 20e725d1b0 words, Lorencia 819b4d3b9c looked up 377423ea2b at me aed2ad92a8 and furrowed ab464c2301 her brows. Then she clicked cd15889736 her tongue.4fd74d35fc267e4c

    What’s with that attitude?9624fa8506cc7c53

    It was 52a45106bb a little 9baf6358fb different from 6ed35f638d her usual 3300e4f143 behavior—rude, even. But I didn’t 07a8ecf0ef want to correct 7e1d1c85be her in front c68fcafe92 of the kids, ffb0f3c9ac so I sent 5723907a0b them to the dbbcbb6138 playroom first. Lady Yurena d3501c6b74 hurriedly followed f322dc9959 the children.ed0e2f048a608812

    I followed 77d45bc3a7 Lorencia into 7d5aa3dc42 the room. She was tidying up aa8bd8a3e2 the space where the d9f11073fa lesson had taken place.406c76d0c444de8d

    Before, I had 71b616daef felt a bit f7d003abda guilty about taking 0b0e050627 her position. But now, that feeling 8c7dd86cb6 was completely gone.b5757c8b3122b871

    Lorencia now looked bab78b6c0f the same as c549c35ecd Janice. It was difficult c1d36cdabe to see Janice 5aa5a5b2d3 favorably, especially after 3b6e46244d being suspicious that ab990d2f04 she had brought 8468cd8cb8 in Count Solovis.d2d308495b22cc9e

    “I think I need an explanation for that attitude earlier.”23a4be2101cc5978

    At my words, 286be5feae Lorencia sighed deeply. Then she turned 4f17fc1b4d sharply toward me. Lorencia pouted her lips dd23094e54 and said,5a67264a3170baa1

    “Class time is my time. If the Duchess doesn’t even respect that, do you think the children will follow me?”2dfe6962af30ef74

    “I already told you today’s lesson would be shortened.”27130d8467b61c2f

    “Just saying that doesn’t mean I have to follow it automatically, does it?”53eb34e4664c0290

    Lorencia retorted. I didn’t understand why she was suddenly acting like this. I thought we had been getting along fine, but now she was being difficult. Of course, she had acted a little differently when she spoke out about the Duke’s corruption, but I thought that was just an isolated case. Maybe this was the real reason?ae4a6efc3b85f418

    “Yes, you should follow it.”f88f94827a59e3dd

    Lorencia opened 1e6f4435f1 her mouth.41ac7f84da324249

    “I’m an employee, and you’re the employer. If you wanted to remove me from this position, you could do so without a word.”5b97175f23a1a05c

    “…Do you think that’s possible? I was recommended by Janice for this position. Janice has been with the Duke’s family much longer than you!”48f979344984a496

    When I heard 0b1d4bfcd9 that, I understood. Lorencia was looking down 098574c697 on me. The faint 11348ea8b1 look of 522fced28c contempt in 6c8eff7f4e her eyes 51c8416bd0 made it 93065a9bbe clear. Why? I had never b8dd9d232d had a problem 6b5a20b158 with Lorencia before, 42c13e52ff and we hadn’t 4ceba55500 clashed.e6d9e55d27042bca

    She had 45f81d3696 been a fffa0501ff good teacher, 2b743a0b0e and I cbe8e81af7 was satisfied ab9b97dd16 with her.92d6eec8d08196b5

    Of course, privately, Lorencia 3865d6a7b9 and Janice weren’t exactly f55dc55373 likable, but I never 5ebcbc5506 let that show.a83755b27ff6156c

    “Are you trying to say Janice is above me?”37825ef7758b2364

    “Of course not. I just think that because Janice has shown loyalty to the Duke for so long, the Duke will listen to her more than to you.”60ded91c2463edc8

    Lorencia said this 827f71e27e in a strangely dcb6f27e15 twisted voice. I could tell what ed324308ac she was thinking now. Janice had survived a206a5e9b4 in this house 181ff5f04d for so long, ddebfc379a no matter what 68ac67fdd8 she did. Even though she no 33cd881448 longer worked as a 22eae6d6c2 nanny, Cassius had allowed 937157f545 her to stir things 79c91ae340 up in the Duke’s fe9d7b01c8 household.6c8f29487317a141

    No matter her dddcf39439 intentions, to Lorencia, 66f36aeab9 Janice must have f0ca138208 seemed like an a4fb186ec4 unbreakable wall.e4a15884cdf858fb

    “If that’s f83d0d5515 how you c1aa371629 think…”
    “Ahh! Aaaahh!”bfde6294fdc07c43

    Before I could reply, 9688a9a320 a scream rang out. I ran out of f19f93703d the room. That was Lady 720fff4548 Yurena’s voice — b8f35f9ce3 she never screams. Something was wrong with b5221df92d the kids. Lorencia followed me.9bfc7151e79f8470

    The children were supposed 276f1490e1 to be in the 417869be61 playroom, getting ready to 8f34288dc3 go out. What could’ve happened?d9cfa6d077be2275

    I opened the door fe0ca70439 wide. The kids were f03e1fa9da pale. Yurena was soaked in 53143d37f9 blood, and Theo—
    “Theo!!”
    “Oh my God, c68815676b Theo!”e2a8f65d61fdd510

    Lorencia rushed over 6f0506bece and grabbed Theo 9e535478b8 tightly. He was coughing a7184ff8ea up blood and d95f707257 struggling to breathe.
    “Get a doctor now!” a7d1713d1a she screamed.b2fe4fd913a55c0e

    I finally snapped out f5a999a02d of my shock. I pushed 44d8cebc5c Lorencia aside ec16d4bf10 and pulled 922857b474 Theo into 7ebdbf3dfe my arms. He was coughing hard. I checked 26aa1e7ad9 his body c568e2d63d — it 4a79506ba0 wasn’t magic. The leftover 28d4733423 magic in 758ec1fe7c his body c01f0a1c8a had been 14ff3942f8 weak for 42a03293b3 a while 27eaeaf859 now, thanks 10b9c0bba4 to Stephanie.37bcbb3f55a62385

    So this meant 43624d0feb someone else had d3f5314acf hurt him. I turned to 7af5b7fc93 Stephanie. Whatever had hurt Theo, 46418f8918 she might be able 0e5a4d3369 to help.5fccc2a2ce91b014

    “Stephanie, can you help?”
    My voice c67c75c225 shook even 1b181b27be though I 843b6c389f tried to 9c6a906c3e sound calm. Stephanie walked over from c64f4dea5f her nanny’s arms and 7f26868433 placed her hand on 3324c2c71b Theo.
    “Do you f24847225e feel anything?”
    “He’s not dead yet.”
    “I know that.”
    “He ate something bad. Something poisonous. It’s tearing 02ac0252da up his 16ec9ec700 insides. He’ll die soon.”680aae8fa2dede05

    I bit my f8f6ca6c80 lip hard. There was 1d0c9a7c08 no time 6f6e23f80a to figure 0b0fa0553d out who 96c69f9dd4 did this. First, I had b53e4cdcbf to save him. It didn’t ff39e8fa88 matter who 3c8444209e was watching ed6746f093 or how c9e1865190 much life 113576094e I had 1b3bb9fb0b left — f4fe9c49d1 I poured ab47cb6859 my holy 30e21df256 power into 9afa762392 Theo.83ac9c3dc3ed9a50

    My energy flowed into 064357c7ae him. Someone screamed 5e4adf4ed6 again, but 733c2cb98d this time, 795c3c3460 it was f509333a9c a cry 2f613bdc24 of awe.29735ca9e9e1c8e7

    Cassius and 0509b5ff58 I locked 65ab3cdb18 eyes. Theo’s breathing calmed, and a205bc0c72 he opened his eyes. At the 2a508b3b08 same time, ee178955e6 my body 63b92bd9aa collapsed.0d313437ccaddb0b
