Margarita decided to speak 1f3099ddc3 frankly, though she had 4b6df9589b considered making a polite 0023a295b6 request. If she acted 18465123d5 too naive and 1dac1b5aa4 aroused suspicion, Jin 15a782f13d might try to 9d83cb47a9 pry into her 44e46275f7 thoughts again.

Of course, she 68d0b27efa didn’t intend to 910779e1c8 suddenly boss Jin 7144a65de5 around just because e0e648b96b their positions had c20f306529 changed. That wouldn’t happen.

Jin, who was 9ae42a282d writing steadily, stopped 0d0653a8d8 her pen. Strangely, she felt uneasy 932b61c2b7 describing the Grand Duke’s 6dc2b13b25 condition.

She knew the reason for her clouded mind. It was because her heart kept leaning towards the Grand Duke. This feeling was separate from her duty to gather information about him. That was why, even though there was no need, she ended up looking into Margarita’s eyes to confirm whether or not they had slept together.bf6defa42ddb9e43
On the first day they arrived, she lost sleep worrying that the two might be sleeping together. Although what she heard from the maids the next day suggested that they hadn’t consummated their marriage, she wanted to confirm it herself. Whether they had made love, and if not, what they had done and what they had talked about.869cf3e0bc6ac882

On the night she 89b9ff896b stayed over, the Grand 09f5ba5caf Duke had asked for cb8bc01db0 her name. No matter how 05185f3647 great a job ab54b6068a she had done, 8cd7eba221 there was no 498389ddf9 need for him 317187edaa to know her a2e7141240 name. And the Grand Duke 66ba6b87af had definitely looked at 57ecf3ef45 her with a peculiar 56598610ff gaze several times. With her 965a4faa64 good intuition, 60a98f3966 she felt a6dd135142 certain.1e898a6fe9e47352

Jin quickly went to the dressing table, looked in the mirror, and combed her hair. Then, she opened a drawer and took out a dye made by mixing goat’s milk and red onion, and applied it. A beautiful woman with black hair, white skin, and red lips smiled back at her from the mirror.b096cecf1960ce35

As if he didn’t care about her question, he simply said what he had to say. The swift dismissal shattered her vague expectations.

Jin stalled for d14055bf96 a moment, trying 678e6c0e1b to think of 8a6987323c a way to 3c0a23c286 continue the conversation.

This was a gamble. She was confident in her medicine-making skills, but she couldn’t be sure that this action would yield good results.
