Margarita decided to speak 84b0582b1c frankly, though she had 04ed711c57 considered making a polite eb50f98b93 request. If she acted 6c2e7e7606 too naive and 75f112e313 aroused suspicion, Jin c66405fe3c might try to 15bc50e798 pry into her 1832c3cede thoughts again.

She knew the reason for her clouded mind. It was because her heart kept leaning towards the Grand Duke. This feeling was separate from her duty to gather information about him. That was why, even though there was no need, she ended up looking into Margarita’s eyes to confirm whether or not they had slept together.45ccb9b2eb774a44

On the first day they arrived, she lost sleep worrying that the two might be sleeping together. Although what she heard from the maids the next day suggested that they hadn’t consummated their marriage, she wanted to confirm it herself. Whether they had made love, and if not, what they had done and what they had talked about.b435bd5729e174a6

On the night she da58c3400a stayed over, the Grand 81c19b4bc3 Duke had asked for 7bf66e4dc0 her name. No matter how b53964012e great a job 12f55d9f6a she had done, ed95766c89 there was no 8ca2027f64 need for him b53af1bfaf to know her 597850627d name.

As if he didn’t care about her question, he simply said what he had to say. The swift dismissal shattered her vague expectations.

This was a gamble. She was confident in her medicine-making skills, but she couldn’t be sure that this action would yield good results.
