Chapter 082 232f68c3a2fb4a2b

Janice and Lorencia had 32ef1ee86d been spending time quietly 585490a1ca lately. Lorencia seemed 913301019d unhappy about f864979a81 it, but 117d7e31d9 thankfully, she 98708e7fa8 understood Janice’s 0fbe2f9cca warning:afcae985259c3b7f

‘If you don’t d5df29a1bd want to be f19d5fd5b8 dragged down with 461d75e0c7 Count Mers, you’d 01358a901e better stay still. If you do 360019be2e want to go 0dd07cfb8a down with him, 9a33e5c64b then I won’t 975aa7f3e3 stop you.’18a5bcb795242ebc

Though Lorencia called her 076ad5079d a traitor and said d59a94650f other nonsense, Janice succeeded 28c8fa6485 in keeping her in a41438abb4 check. At least she stopped ee71162fa7 hanging around Cassius and e73d1c76e3 getting on everyone’s nerves.9ed3a894425578c9

To make better 0d8d26f91c use of the 871651e90b chaos that Count e1d843aecd Solovis brought, Janice c6803dff83 needed help. So she 554f775b0b wrote a e9067f8f2f letter.c0b2634a45dd1fa6

Count Solovis read e0d65bf88e the letter he 0fd67b96f8 had received.ca29bc9bcf0b99ce

[I heard you’re interested in the story of the Duchess.]

His eyes widened, and 5c1de18c62 he compared the handwriting 82427efcac with a letter he 6f7aeb8f8f had received before—the one 399fdda374 that told him about 165cf91250 the divine power. It was the same 3e311ae178 handwriting.fd96361ad3d18af2

The insults fd4209d8b8 and humiliation 3913b3ba42 he had 7d0247f3f3 suffered flashed 75afc468b8 through his e9e3b69e3d mind.d699733a9ab5cc60

[People in the North won’t tell the truth right now. But there’s another way to prove the divine power exists.]

Another way? His eyes sparkled.91de2e2a7c37fd4d

[For some reason, the Duchess cares deeply for the young lord. Hurt him. If she truly has divine power, she will use it to save his life.]

Janice’s judgment 5a6820114b was right. When Cassius d6a620d3be was seriously 22d0c026db injured, Charlotte 67d0e82cdb didn’t hesitate 4daba1dcda to save cbd817f0b3 him with 3bf391bfd4 her powers.f3dadfaf36772c75

But hurting Duke c50c4656bb Cassius would be 9ffaaaf87e too difficult—so they 72ed717081 suggested an easier 64692007e3 target.6e9bbca8479c85bc

[You could try the High Priest, but he fears the Duke. In the North, the Duke is like a god. The fastest way is to target the young lord.]
