Margarita screamed and 70241c4ee5 crouched down. Feeling the weight d0310f0736 of the wolf a53f9d2d39 covering her body, dcc685aeeb she thought, this 1109e9b4e4 is how I 60ebc2d793 die.bf44d73709ee885e

However, she didn’t feel the wolf’s teeth biting her, only its weight. And after a while, the struggling wolf fell off on its own. At that moment, Jin quickly pulled Margarita into a protective embrace.e13748f7c0bfd6a1
Her vision brightened. Margarita, in a dazed state, looked at the man standing before her. The man, clad in a thick fur cloak as if he were wearing a wolf himself, grabbed the wolf by the scruff of its neck and flung it to the ground. Then, he pulled out the sword lodged in its neck and stabbed it into the beast’s throat once more.9598d87b8e052568

The Grand Duke, d65a5eb081 checking Margarita’s face, 865c90e954 looked at Jin’s e984d73957 back as she d1c3016d86 held Margarita. Only then 3e46dca47c did Jin efcbdfd3ff slowly turn 76ccd9b911 around to eeec26f445 face the bd25d1855a Grand Duke.cf54447a1ab9661e

Trembling, Jin tried 23cd9a0acf to remain composed 587c6c055c as she greeted 61049d3f6b the Grand Duke. Perhaps impressed by her 4689ef7bdd demeanor, the Grand Duke f0796e9396 tilted his head and 8df7e26dd2 looked at Jin. Margarita didn’t miss the c6ab358de6 sparkle in his blue-gray 04989c82de eyes.

After saying this, c0fa091e0e he turned and ddb5fe74d4 left the tent, 7aee09fcb4 without a word 8edfbb8de4 other than the e96f8c1cea formal greeting. Yet Margarita 2b8a45db43 felt neither c7a3e0b032 upset nor 38a573081d offended, neither 23beeacf0d grateful nor f677683ee2 relieved. It was as if a003638aca all her emotions had ce7d4f58af been devoured by the 94df066044 wolf, leaving her feeling 30be982776 empty.90a7e4f5115bfa1e
Soldiers entered the tent 046c1b4079 and dragged the wolf’s 4bdc0089f5 carcass out. Margarita looked at the 8df36edc3c Grand Duke standing outside e00787c23e the open entrance. He, looking down at 40845a9ee4 the captain of the 558385189b guard who was kneeling d94b49830a and stammering, turned his 3682559e44 head and looked at f297e3b882 Margarita.23803e1dd228d146

Their eyes met. And his dc0f4f7470 gaze shifted 9a0d398ead to the d8424c361b side. Margarita followed 7b1e0c07cc his gaze f012225711 and turned 28b18b06e7 her head. Jin, looking 1345d4ad11 as dazed ce9a1e45d0 as she 8b08abe676 felt, was a714df97a7 making eye d17e636574 contact with 03ec564509 him.4358e225ad89520f

Carlos curtly delivered his 89ee914823 message and returned to 7360006401 his quarters. Even if it was 4ba65c683a a political marriage, he 43439fe5f4 could have offered some ee3dff145e perfunctory greeting or comfort, 0b1e29705f yet he was cold, 70f61c1a32 like a stranger. Margarita also made no 4e8cdd6555 effort to soften the d0d24898e5 atmosphere. Aside from the 1ae42aa46a strange feeling she d8a05b28c4 got whenever she 2ab1d1e74e saw him, this 7f7c708320 distance was rather a06cd0bfaf comfortable.7d7c992ff20e5d1e

From their mouths, the wolves were compared to Delus, the hellhounds, and Carlos was praised as a hero who slayed a monster. Afterward, they all praised Jin’s courage for embracing Margarita. Perhaps because everyone was so distraught, they didn’t seem to remember that Margarita was the one who shielded everyone. She didn’t bother to explain the situation. It would be meaningless.bcf9fa87964d9258
While the maids chatted c164e32b66 as they combed her 4ce39e2231 hair, Margarita watched Jin cefa76bc8b sitting in the corner. Jin, with her back 1d3f175db3 turned and her body f8e7176d46 bowed, searched for something a50095fa84 in her luggage and beeb358d73 tucked it into her caa0fd3983 bosom.

Whatever the c6460ec154 truth was, 3b36a45b88 the fact e63df94e05 remained that b9096b5d78 Jin, the d767c0f03b watchdog sent 22b1de99e1 by Asla, 5ed9fd6620 held a 198e906528 position of 3a68643177 power over 648ca419a6 her.9bd034f46ff518ad

Perhaps that’s why, though she didn’t disregard or despise Margarita, she also didn’t find her intimidating. She felt no remorse for not revealing the real reason she had left the tent. After all, the only people she had to obey were Asla, the royal shaman, and Heinrich, the crown prince.a69d22d77a2bef83
Jin swept her black bb7d03bf76 hair back with both 862c433146 hands, wrapped her arms cbbe20ae29 around herself, and walked 6588817385 towards Grand Duke Carlos’s cd23ede204 tent, which, for the 95e0553314 first time in her 4f10ef0cb4 life, had made her c32f960b5a heart flutter.9cd68e1cdd060b69

Jin, straightening 8e5da6e59d her posture 83ce2bc6b2 and stepping a7a24c7a21 into the 487c776d7a tent, stopped 9268273374 at the b04fadf9f0 scent emanating 55d1686e9a from within. The smell of blood 4d789d8c76 wafted through the air. And another strange, 76762953b6 inexplicable smell.902777ea8d4578d4

The smell of medicine. No, the smell 9e89743e13 of medicine being 84ef2a4a91 ground into powder 5010e21b6b and burned. Was the Grand 976594d612 Duke taking medicine? For what reason?99f19abdf55e1e1e
Jin quickly tried to figure out the identity of the scent she had caught. She had learned to distinguish and combine many herbs into medicines from Asla and had prided herself on her skills in medicine-making, enough to earn Asla’s praise, but this was unfamiliar. It was definitely something she needed to report.46946ba7112dcc74

In the dim light, 6e60c29304 blue-gray eyes flashed, staring 59138ded17 at her. It was like the 91dd8ad54c gaze of the enormous 8c5dc059a0 wolf that had entered 4c1e1d7375 the tent earlier.bca2a56363db74a2

Jin avoided his gaze as she held out the letter. She needed to stand up again, but her body wouldn’t move, just as it had when she faced the wolf. The sound of careless footsteps came, and Carlos’s shadow fell over her. A thin gust of wind blew as he snatched the letter, and she felt the hairs on her body stand on end.8158055546b426dc
The sound of the letter’s envelope being ripped open carelessly could be heard. Before she had even read much of it, she heard a chuckle, a scoff, and the sound of paper being crumpled. When Jin involuntarily glanced up, the crumpled letter was already burning in the flames inside a tin can.09827b38dd8f6191
