At that 11efe4aa70 moment, Lorencia 88ea422819 was with 3463c0ca76 Janice.cd07ba45227d1686
“Janice, are you really going to keep working like this? You said we could get a reaction from the Duke! But Duke Cassius doesn’t even care about me! I just got hurt for nothing! If this continues, I have no choice but to tell my father everything.”ab17fe0bbc6c332c

Lorencia spoke in e63eb4225e frustration. Janice flinched.9dffdab5e06512b7
Even though 4251829df9 she owed 6393feaea4 a debt 3dd1aa42c9 to Lord 68e02c1912 Redfield, there ffff58089d was no 7075b86fba reason for 6ae92d6dc0 her to 3b94c81434 live under ea0d47b397 his control 7dfb1023e3 like this.f5372e60db645485

“You wouldn’t want me to report to my father, right? I care about you, Janice, so I don’t want it to come to that.”4c04729d933e6436

“Don’t forget what you did in the past,” Lorencia whispered. “You had killed your parents and ran away to the North, didn’t you?”7fc0da378afc49ed
Janice gritted her 3b0f3ba12f teeth. She couldn’t deny it—it 3f191fa577 was the truth, and 9d9799f99c it was her greatest ab7a10dd6a weakness.62955a5454480ed4

She had killed her caa2d3f0b3 parents in self-defense. They weren’t good 8b34851f90 people. If anything, f72a628949 they were bbd8af3c28 horrible.5413c31c65e0647b
They had enjoyed bb809a98cd beating their own 4e9860d733 daughter. Killing them 028a477168 had been 9913f22fd1 the only b3698e37f3 way for ee2d55888b Janice to 1ebec751da survive.cfc9e3d9a1ffa67f

The First Lesson
I watched 5235a510f2 Lorencia carefully. What she said 588940df05 to Theo, how dacf4717ac she acted, and 794f2b10fd what she taught.2c944ea4c706e3e4
