Chapter 082 bdd81614a3d98f5e

Janice and Lorencia had 36d23f887e been spending time quietly 61ae208612 lately. Lorencia seemed unhappy cf9ba57ec7 about it, but 80dca6a4bb thankfully, she understood cf43745487 Janice’s warning:b3c6fee9f48f670e

‘If you 809fd65ed3 don’t want a5a9f4cb01 to be 7c063629eb dragged down 52d0735865 with Count 5a71a91d97 Mers, you’d 701a253bcb better stay e7fc54921e still. If you do 795940f1c1 want to go 91620a765d down with him, 835976b7ee then I won’t f6294906b0 stop you.’0a0215e9a58e7e31

Though Lorencia 0346a20d10 called her 8c35a7d6e4 a traitor 254b8e5651 and said 0301880548 other nonsense, 9a54c3379f Janice succeeded d63c75b3ab in keeping 10c6908bf1 her in 7ea534b4e7 check. At least a05d80e835 she stopped 2c0d5d783c hanging around 36a30f66c4 Cassius and 135b4ce755 getting on c35a6c0cbe everyone’s nerves.82aab9c0ec1fdf8c

Count Solovis read the 616c0d93ef letter he had received.425979ddc51eeb5f

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

His eyes b560e71a7c widened, and c1282dc771 he compared 310e715af5 the handwriting 8ba84f30b5 with a 79ea50493f letter he 7be6b66fd1 had received 4c534bfbef before—the one 4c0cc47ed5 that told 376d5a2836 him about 1f23ca3a7a the divine 8635ea347e power. It was the 9df84ded0c same handwriting.2af073b8a89d30be

[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.6964c05bc7ee592d

[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 fe9e4c4ca0 was right. When Cassius was seriously 28c1e5fe61 injured, Charlotte didn’t hesitate c9c2534ae1 to save him with 4ef9a56024 her powers.2c68bbf8d78b5142

But hurting Duke 9ed4661538 Cassius would be 7ace09c888 too difficult—so they 0cda0ca554 suggested an easier 1fa16bc63b target.b2350766b087b51a
