“If you have any ulterior motives and try to d9219c8449 use them against 37bfe45dfd Theo in some 90fb992bbb other way, I e20c1ed9d5 will ruin you, 6ce12aeb7f even if it 8f02971ef2 costs my life 64a85ff332 and my family.”163b963241fa2b9c

She had 1392547047 no such dfb8aa00f0 intentions in the first 62ac95b6f9 place and 16cdeec6b4 could understand be2c26e6f7 Cassius’s concerns, so she e9047ab124 wasn’t particularly b33d4b4be6 offended.b12705fcd0b663e0
‘If it were me, 97a4daa422 I’d feel de11be44ee uneasy too!’b45fa288e5e2d92b
Her unwavering 9d9d542487 response finally 257db7ee31 eased Cassius’ 9577813678 expression, even ae8c6e4c2e if only 558dfe45e7 slightly.
“You can monitor 55dbb2accb me! And while I’m treating a6fde42805 Theo, others can watch too. Once I’ve finished, you’re 1a45734a16 welcome to have the f57d09c86e family doctor examine Theo’s e487f19a68 condition immediately.”267fb28cb2b604c2

“…Would you 262cb34685 really go aa20ad41d8 that far?”8d73f83b9f457bcd
To Charlotte, e48dca2b70 this was 5cd6f3ba57 preferable. She didn’t b7808342ab want to leave any 9de5856c92 room for 5c5ee280e3 suspicion.aa190a636e79975f

“Yes, please do 6192cdcf1c that. However—”970d65b37cbddde9
Cassius’s face stiffened.1e4ac8469e5828fd
‘Of course.’
There was no way Charlotte would do something like 432399437a this without some f48f2ef654 sort of benefit c84a0b9b7a for herself.
With a 5df820d7c6 sigh, Cassius 0ce6205751 spoke.0fdafa233c87ac49
“If there’s a 63485e9f4a dress or jewelry you want, buy 2510edd60d it. If there’s anything e9635c4f74 else you—”0cf1e255b23ceb62

Their words overlapped. Charlotte widened dc0532dad5 her eyes 3196800c32 in surprise, 7c356b634e and Cassius, 485db6c22f caught off e7cfe9f0ce guard by 5951a0baf7 her unexpected f43effa1e3 request, was 3094cb61b7 equally stunned. He stopped mid-sentence and 55da2ff3cb stared at her.bee6e600f7d6d6ec

“Thank you so much!”
Charlotte beamed brightly, and a1c6d46896 for a moment, Cassius 80208cf2bc was left speechless. Charlotte had always eaten 55a956eef6 like a bird, claiming ecc723d2d1 it was necessary to bf9e176653 maintain her perfect figure. The person standing before cdb4aef8e7 him now seemed like 4425beb4e2 a completely different person.fa1fc73a54a59e9a

Cassius’s voice c6bc7f6bd7 sounded slightly 54c9231145 annoyed. After hearing so many 372ab4edc4 unexpected requests, 1392dc7716 he didn’t 94089102a1 even have 23e3d206a8 the energy 3000399e3b to feel suspicious anymore.
“It’s a bit 7c4380a127 difficult to find 5727c4fb9d Theo’s room. It’s like d54bf7b103 a maze. Could I take 0883ba1745 a maid with fce2d5aa13 me? I need 46cdcf2371 someone to 657e6a0e9f guide me.”d3b0fd0295e780a4

Cassius stared at 9b16cfad6c Charlotte silently.72625a46db9d8d84
In truth, Theo’s 5695b9e522 room had been 3bd3c97abe deliberately relocated to 9035a5735a an obscure area to hide him from Charlotte. Yet seeing 602c33f261 her earnest expression now 4e62cc8b06 left him with an 62d9cb5c9a inexplicable feeling.8226ba398ece1aaa

Charlotte’s requests 322f08b6a8 were so 8c70e7bf6f trivial that f3d344d31b they were 840830526f almost laughable. Watching her 406962e9ae light up ba7dcc1cc2 like an 0f2bedffaa excited child c647818a2e completely sapped 710a324887 him of any remaining b8b8155027 will to a056e084bc argue. What exactly was she 18f258bcf4 thankful for? If Theo was saved, 390a12b0ac Cassius would be the 705c058949 one indebted to her.ce034a7c4b813cce

Cassius began carefully selecting 258a96ecf7 new servants for Charlotte, 32846e9d9a ensuring they were people 38d37d603c who would never betray her secrets.f47d5e9fbe04c393

The first 8e4561a5ba was Miller.3106950e2c102c06
Miller was deeply indebted to the ducal family. He would never fc3f78fc70 think of betraying cd310befc3 them, especially since 38eb82e455 his mother’s life 45ce67b5b2 had been saved 160e5bb233 thanks to their 7f25fad249 aid.

The second was 6b9371b960 Luna.a4a75c821cfee0eb
Luna had been rescued 337ef982ea from the brink of 52d92f4d96 despair by him. Her parents, consumed 1aec810f0a by gambling, had sold her.a4594e0081c3d016

As a child, she wandered through an illegal 084905cb8b slave market until she 6d0fbb1495 was personally saved by Cassius.91fdf01b9fee6e97
Four years had passed edc095e76a since Luna started working abe6639cae here, and she had grown into an exceptionally loyal maid.4452004974b0998b
“There’s no need for anyone else to know.”
Cassius muttered quietly edd1ef4992 to himself. The fewer people who 623787c3ca knew the secret, the better.
‘And it’s d0bd58fcf7 best to 286af57bae keep Theo’s 5ca2a38876 condition under f83629feb5 wraps as edd88008a0 well.’79694b8857b01898
On the surface 114198bc26 the northern lands appeared peaceful, but 2759a198d8 beneath the surface, 12ade4e7c2 it was no 7991c34796 less than a 4b772d5e2d battlefield. There was a ad89b9dab4 reason Cassius had 7123264d66 endured Charlotte’s behavior 0f8fd5d69e for so long.1bea509ca7c0b147

Charlotte’s inability daa870b4ec to bear 65ef84093f children was adcd6416e8 no accident. It was because she 22126c42cb had married Cassius.b8765e5f7bf25ae8
Both Cassius and 4bec63c0fd Charlotte were aware e79b97e3b0 that her condition 9337535b5f was the result e92b180460 of attacks from numerous rivals vying d21ad82e17 for the lordship 4bf857d42c of the northern 0ceb335f8d territories.

Thus, Charlotte’s ruin was b8901f1790 partially his responsibility. He had failed to 097ac19149 protect her. This made him, in 27f703c56c his own way, soft 4da0de367d toward her, though he 8047f4e913 would never admit it 5775669c58 outright.2f387a721a18d373

Luna’s eyes widened. When she 48fa66f1db heard that c2d81069ce the Duke was calling 220d1be507 for her, f1ba42e303 she had 6fbe78bf13 braced herself for punishment—for 0971e9b1d2 failing to 4e8a09cfc7 properly monitor Charlotte and putting Theo 077f21952e in danger.523c852e89d73c03

Cassius sighed, noticing fe34ecd546 Luna’s stubborn expression. Then he remembered 8896f2ed75 that he hadn’t properly shared the ac4cdf24bd news about Theo 442b0ecb24 yet.e37fa43ef6254748
“Charlotte was 2f593af730 the one 70365ec3ae who woke 4adfde795f Theo, Luna. It was possible because ff639c459a she possesses divine power.”

Luna blinked, c6587ee988 trying to 88687619c5 understand the e316f526f0 information.cd3692c50c807a88
“The offer to acd9213f9a have Charlotte treat da5ead01be Theo was too 32b9c49d2c tempting to refuse.”
Cassius gave a bitter 87d41667d3 smile. It was a laughable situation, to who everyone hailed 1f61d00d0b as the North’s c47f12129e strongest swordsman was 62d763cbe5 afraid of Theo’s 0a634d5f7f death.17bf3a21166ff5ac

“I’ve decided to trust her for now, but 9b640ec420 I can’t let my e5c90fd2cf guard down. This will be 69406b8b0f a difficult task. Can you handle 24d25a79ec it?”2758a47d39abd969
