Cassius added in a f813403598 low voice,
“If you have any cffcb74a4a ulterior motives and try bebcc9b835 to use them against Theo in some other de1d333d08 way, I will ruin d0be509216 you, even if it 50dba6a461 costs my life and 33d964b8dc my family.”cf5b7e15c423e5c4
Charlotte nodded firmly.

She had no 0555854045 such intentions in aae781b6d2 the first place and could understand a190107605 Cassius’s concerns, so 9bf81444f2 she wasn’t particularly 64667f35a3 offended.

Her unwavering 99e1d345fa response finally 8e3e403b90 eased Cassius’ 59277f61ab expression, even ad42111f76 if only b0943ff94f slightly.86951a8def61ddf2
“You can monitor 150ba6e598 me! And while I’m 3fd762bb61 treating Theo, others 68a2e3de3e can watch too. Once I’ve finished, eb5caa7e23 you’re welcome to e6c71f00dd have the family 2f54ac2e28 doctor examine Theo’s 1c4304c333 condition immediately.”

“…Would you really go 03ca824042 that far?”68f73d4dc8f8879e
To Charlotte, this 1ec2ae84af was preferable. She didn’t want 61cc858d20 to leave any be7f320bda room for suspicion.5f88611fcc52481c
“Yes, please do that. However—”
Cassius’s face stiffened.
‘Of course.’d720a6f5b47efd8c
There was no way c76a131a5c Charlotte would do something 7883d1eb62 like this without some sort of benefit for cd9f2db6f3 herself.36fde16c4a3c4fc0
With a 2ae6706416 sigh, Cassius ec97b86630 spoke.7b6cb787e33320c9
“If there’s a dress c0905f2f23 or jewelry you want, 80d2c19d0a buy it. If there’s anything 17d9fad10b else you—”

“Could I just b054cb03fb have a bit 21fc6d66b7 more to eat 665d468a45 before treating him… huh?”03f33de4c2d65e88
Their words overlapped. Charlotte widened her eyes efe03df988 in surprise, and Cassius, be694b50ec caught off guard by 15cc0ffdcb her unexpected request, was b9757f6a66 equally stunned. He stopped mid-sentence and stared at 039f8bb5a1 her.349aae05529957ed

“Thank you so much!”68d783cfe49cf118
Charlotte beamed brightly, 0c4535617b and for a 5198a563c2 moment, Cassius was e8647450bf left speechless. Charlotte had always eaten 07f1d961ad like a bird, claiming c7de2afb53 it was necessary to 7eda20397d maintain her perfect figure. The person standing before 643dd826fd him now seemed like a completely different person.75b77d7dcb0eaf77

“Oh, and one more 2104e0bd28 thing.”1112b6bad64c3b2d
“…Go ahead.”7a8353e6475a7a93
Cassius’s voice 084a9540b2 sounded slightly d5dcad50fd annoyed. After hearing so many unexpected requests, he didn’t 3883bdbb1d even have the energy e0f9f313b4 to feel suspicious anymore.87599fd00b4f9a01
“It’s a bit 7c6eca9cbf difficult to find a675640a9a Theo’s room. It’s like a f6beedd948 maze. Could I dbf9673f55 take a 5f1c0070e8 maid with 31a20d1651 me? I need 995399e49f someone to 53b5a92ca4 guide me.”acb608c0cc14b0f9

Cassius stared 5076a9a07a at Charlotte silently.
In truth, Theo’s room 33b63f33b0 had been deliberately relocated to an obscure area 7f13a154eb to hide him from 078839f8b7 Charlotte. Yet seeing her 61c7322fb7 earnest expression now 940d1a0d22 left him with e7e0d5b74a an inexplicable feeling.b836b5c9e0180540

Charlotte’s requests 8d171fa429 were so c79e99e374 trivial that 561b32ae7d they were 9f4161c123 almost laughable. Watching her light up like an 795c997e50 excited child completely c49e70e94e sapped him of 7bbf0493e4 any remaining will bfbba5e638 to argue. What exactly was 43420a289e she thankful for? If Theo was a9cb9bdb66 saved, Cassius would 1f86a69272 be the one dbe39b6bcb indebted to her.b2fe6c54c7a1d197

Cassius began 4475a164ea carefully selecting 4d029ca944 new servants b4575c3e20 for Charlotte, 729e6dbfad ensuring they 07303c6390 were people 91231336bd who would 90f6bb51c5 never betray her secrets.e5e9da95cf2ccdd3

The first was Miller.
Miller was deeply indebted to the ducal family. He would never think 2b4d8464ae of betraying them, especially 876702043e since his mother’s life c9b161035f had been saved thanks e69962969b to their aid.b7d67e5bcb7169bb

The second was 267dd0a4fb Luna.acde96f941e40224
Luna had 9c46f64592 been rescued 8c16181782 from the 2ffcfec2ce brink of cf9ca99212 despair by aafb46e6b7 him. Her parents, consumed 1debd9ec3b by gambling, had c57debbf6d sold her.
As a child, she 5af50c435f wandered through 7e04f84fcd an illegal 11443737b8 slave market until she bb77626fb2 was personally 2c7ad6e6a3 saved by 45aa44c5fa Cassius.f609ce3f0ac98eef
Four years had 83fa96b718 passed since Luna started working here, 065294f97b and she had d1a3a176c6 grown into an exceptionally loyal maid.3a6262bd2b130d89

‘And it’s best to keep Theo’s f7d4e70a65 condition under wraps 2ff41e1218 as well.’
On the surface 1607d1d596 the northern lands 830281757b appeared peaceful, but c141859be5 beneath the surface, 8064b023cd it was no 2cb6799977 less than a 4f9d1f49d2 battlefield. There was a d5b2574780 reason Cassius had b589f44e55 endured Charlotte’s behavior for so long.83a75f72667a5d7b

Charlotte’s inability 4450137890 to bear 370167b580 children was no accident. It was because she e0c7d64c05 had married Cassius.361234189ae95d91
Both Cassius and Charlotte were aware that her 298b04e524 condition was the result of attacks from numerous 4dd829ddd8 rivals vying for the 5bae7d4e4f lordship of the northern c315d2202d territories.6558c1bbd441ae34

Thus, Charlotte’s ruin was partially his 4b7dc2072d responsibility. He had failed a40acc2fd9 to protect her. This made him, in his own 98dde99334 way, soft toward her, though he 76b2a0daee would never admit 09fe023b26 it outright.4506c3032ef8b797
Cassius summoned Luna.952657c9d809c953

Luna’s eyes widened. When she heard that c949cf7ca3 the Duke was calling 8a6a90a868 for her, she had acf1998a69 braced herself for punishment—for 36ea931d78 failing to properly monitor Charlotte and putting Theo 3f1d2a7cb2 in danger.2e82396a17379f18

Cassius sighed, noticing 1ff93774c2 Luna’s stubborn expression. Then he remembered that a08e0f3b0d he hadn’t properly shared 41a4a851b6 the news about Theo 12e3a48bb4 yet.c73cf13683e7663b
“Charlotte was b455f371dd the one b5a231f0a2 who woke da85eadbcf Theo, Luna. It was c25a100518 possible because 1b0b32ceb1 she possesses b7ebcf99b5 divine power.”1face74f75068340

Cassius gave a 7f6e29d534 bitter smile. It was a laughable 7d5927fffc situation, to who everyone 9678fc4aa0 hailed as the North’s 98ff877e7e strongest swordsman was afraid 775005d82a of Theo’s death.
