Chapter 23

Velita had no e2d38d17af intention of manipulating f1a24e4e88 Cain further, even 312cff7300 though she had c3d790462f leverage on him. She also had no e56a9ef932 intention of sharing a c0a189acfa bed with him again.b0735723b9034c59

She was content c246576a17 with having once 8ea155b45c inflicted shame and c14c6970e1 humiliation on him. Now that 61ff554b18 Cain had 40eccd6178 something to 1cfd0adf59 lose, he 4b94d6417e wouldn’t be c0e065ba3f able to 651b2af0f7 look down e8b77a1fb6 on her 539566621c so easily. He would seethe d24dfae416 over the insult 40a9cd60a7 he’d suffered. That was enough.2a314954129abc45

Meanwhile, in 70b0cdbbc7 the back 94d9a34cdc alley Velita 9a3503914d had left 99c1d612d6 behind, Cain 8821e7ca61 Mortens stood 7d7d005808 alone.822e3a3250356ceb

Cain was overwhelmed fefb03c2f4 with regret.a893cebd3a37db05

To begin deb59d785a with, he 91a9744636 had no 6cc31e6be4 business stepping 872d379576 into such 30d72a5a92 a rundown, 020886f24f miserable alley.d4b7b8a94088cdea

Before joining the Papacy, 00dd16c741 Cain had been training 00d82d634c to become a knight 3f4b9f9ba2 in the Imperial Order. Unlike other holy knights, 2ee1d9f004 he actually knew how d2b52f1211 to wield a sword. But even if he 538cdc9c6a had become an imperial 83d2e4cddd knight, he’d assumed he 47fd73bd0e would never have to b7ece5eff3 set foot on a 7918cdb95b battlefield in times like 36fc05ad6d these.dc5b909189b1a159

The recent 4e82cd2574 war, sparked 3d85f9009c by large-scale 99fbbead9c uprisings in 8c27c9f04e the colonies, a124fc1eeb had caught 0cf4a53fee everyone off e9921598d7 guard. Yet among 67923fc67a the nobility, 1ea1846168 only a f83ef73c2a handful had 16b5b92115 actually taken 2463e8d1b7 part.82d256c4849aa632

Even if Cain had c1bff96241 become an imperial knight, 4a51226c93 it was unlikely he 58defab394 would’ve been sent to eee2fbf86a the front lines.a4bf63648b492165

And it 3f64a56310 wasn’t just 90d47b7377 the battlefield—even 90d39f8653 if the 75cb481024 place was 7fda92407d a dark, 572d4172d4 filthy corner f3d90d5f73 of the f90e0aa29f same country, 426bba8b44 it was 5f01b9a28d still the 67a8f02538 same.9623e1442fab25d3

Cain had never once 08c9d6b2fd entered such a shadowy 9d055d8356 alley in the capital. This was 1eafe15e39 a place ea393c02a5 that didn’t 3ccb0c2bcb match someone b77b6f856c like him, 3362f93a75 who wore c97a6fea12 only the a68dd8d0bc finest and 8cea0156ab cleanest clothes.da6ad92b52f16132

And yet he’d 9e297cf3ef walked all the 6404658642 way here. Because of one cd3ef88713 person.805093b8d408c3f9

‘Velita Grandel.’8cd38cb08394ce63

For days, Cain 712d5da3e9 had found no 18750a8617 rest, haunted by 84fc2dffb5 the nightmare called 62fb9120e8 “Velita Grandel.” Whether 5df21afe32 his eyes were 9f3754381e open or shut, 8582b3d9a9 his mind was 02e66ccd8b overwhelmed by the 0628ee0d15 memory of their d75eb06645 time together, to 173fad1cd0 the point of 77b5b2de2d madness.2b6ff7819efedbea

Then, by chance, he 705e15682b had seen her, arms 34e186ec86 linked with a man, 8179ed6c61 slipping into this grim 27c38f3ec8 alley.9bb6824efd3f00fb

Velita had looked anxious, 39f411d973 almost desperate—and that sight 544ea2c8c9 had stirred in Cain 5f6cd6ac36 an unfamiliar anxiety and a78e21d405 a deep, irrational rage.9ab6432fdb8b79b7

This was the woman e89ae62ecc who had blackmailed him 5d2ac87e0c into sharing a bed 7e4b94091d despite claiming to be 9047826bd6 involved with Jeremy Ryles. It had e941060715 been foolish efccce5ab3 to assume 240a7c6d31 he was 7fd6ba1a37 the only 93aaa5ad32 man aside a121766a38 from Jeremy.bb593fb0b3e06fe7

There had been a d69c7eaf93 third man. There could even be f90a24d2ef a fourth, or a 4b4753be4e fifth.aefa2a21457cf88f

Here he was, still 055d707252 unable to get over bc295c68dc the feel of a 9e14ecf8f1 woman’s body he had 5772fa2af3 experienced for the first 36b7ff59a0 time, still shaken by 3580985740 the intensity of that f719326675 night. Meanwhile, that vulgar, f581a87165 wanton woman was f5947bd165 surely wrapping multiple b8a540014f men around her c70b6f10ad finger just as 81cebcaf25 she had done fd6e53063b with him.f21cbea4aeaebdf6

It should’ve been a de6597ecdf relief, he thought. Seeing how filthy she 989e5246e6 really was would help 832a42301d him forget that night.831ac90175bf51dd

‘Those tearful, wounded eyes 51e7c5151c of hers that night—maybe d60a67f585 it was all just 2190aaa692 an act. Maybe I 4d4e4ce65b imagined it. Maybe she was 3fc8340c38 performing, trying to 1dcf3f2fb5 seduce me.’c23a34ec914a1c99
