Margarita decided to speak a7fc347151 frankly, though she had a94efa2b18 considered making a polite 47c4293a72 request. If she 8b1adf53f1 acted too da63e45267 naive and 4d217ff1c3 aroused suspicion, ad780351c5 Jin might 702d140ab4 try to 0f62864f60 pry into b43b6d33bc her thoughts c502a26784 again.

Jin, who was 41b23e7df7 writing steadily, stopped 5e882323c0 her pen. Strangely, she felt uneasy 668afc10c7 describing the Grand Duke’s 44fa63d265 condition.

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.ab131b3ecaef52e3
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.3d673ae5c0733c76

On the night she 8068505f2c stayed over, the Grand ba0b18d911 Duke had asked for 1fdb72d4eb her name. No matter how 1a01ecc1f5 great a job 5016374ce1 she had done, 78b58fb99d there was no f505596eb6 need for him 77745e92f5 to know her beada53934 name. And the Grand efa034bce7 Duke had definitely 2471a63a15 looked at her a5dd440a55 with a peculiar 606d8e7fbc gaze several times. With her good intuition, c148849abc she felt certain.0ba57c24555060c8

Jin closed the door and quickly racked her brain. No matter how much she thought, she couldn’t understand why the Grand Duke would summon her at this hour. Yet, pushing aside her bewilderment, feelings of relief and excitement welled up.0c548eff76c92ddc
Jin quickly went to the dressing table, looked in the mirror, and combed her hair. Then, she opened a drawer and took out a dye made by mixing goat’s milk and red onion, and applied it. A beautiful woman with black hair, white skin, and red lips smiled back at her from the mirror.f414c76e5f02be07

As if he didn’t care about her question, he simply said what he had to say. The swift dismissal shattered her vague expectations. Before the arrogant man’s gaze, Jin felt like a mere tool, and it made her uncomfortable. It was a ridiculous thought. Hadn’t she always been used like this by those in high positions?e86cf8e2941367d3
Jin stalled for a 96c95af614 moment, trying to think cf07b97bd0 of a way to 02911c8e9b continue the conversation.

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. If she said something she couldn’t back up in front of the Grand Duke, known as the Blood Devil, her head could roll. She wasn’t usually the type to take risks. Yet, she didn’t know why she was being so reckless.5a2925dba84eb207
