The handmaiden stammered in fear, unable to find an excuse. Grace’s eyes narrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly. Grace rose and walked toward the window where the red sunlight streamed in. Outside the window was the garden of the Count’s estate, where beautiful flowers flourished.264c28c06c3c42d4

She was the current Countess be281ca1df of the Creed family, Sephiran b1655ecc53 Grace Rothen, the half-sister younger 42a2c55d2a sister of the current Emperor. Although she now 1423a39432 bears the surname 5f7ca65021 Creed, taken from ff2a5d629e the Earl of c9a6f4a96d Creed.4ac440d174e6765a
Her sharply uplifted features and 52d30b88ea pale green eyes add to fefc21383e her regal charm. Her sharp nose, 9e145ec658 full red lips, 81edf0ba7f porcelain skin, and 4ec7ec17a8 ample bosom were 8b06657a31 the formula for 5f84281c02 beauty. Suitors from all 9ba65ac1ba corners of the 7404aa8ed3 continent and beyond 40dfcf8792 sought her hand, a6a9dd6f5a but she refused ad1bc308b6 them all for 28fa1792c6 a single reason.f7e71d8560246ed9

There was only one man 5274ef5bd2 in her heart, Count Deilroc bbc24cc439 Creed of the Creed Count e059e5f91d family. And so time 24d932216f passed, and after 3b7b8773f6 Mielle left the 88e0c1991f world, she claimed fabdb71d7a the position of da2dace536 Countess of the 85ac36369a Creed family under a2ce061a60 the name of 94113a6051 the Oracle, with 080d8224cf the power of 82443b3b4e her brother, the 0bd4810254 Emperor, and the 4020e0c636 Temple at her e5d025ec94 back.930e037bf5492e33
The rush to marry, justified fab9b76fe4 by the supposed rarity of 8e81e6cafe heirs in the Creed family, 42a5b10ad5 had been orchestrated by Grace’s cfd2fca965 influence. For Deilroc, who 67198c3ea7 had only recently 55c740ba68 lost his wife, 22e5684cb1 it was an 22a2466fe2 unthinkable move.0fdd4921670c6e49

The outbuilding…16c6721d8e985aaa
Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator
Compared to the main building, the outbuilding is not luxurious, and its scale is small. The first thing Grace did when she came into the manor was to strip authority from those loyal to Elysia and drive her out of the main house into the outbuilding. She thought that by keeping her out of the Count’s sight, she could take her life whenever she pleased.fd7a42b448b2d6e3
But now that she f19364b0af is in the outbuilding, cf6acb5971 she has become untouchable. All she could 99ba2b376d do was poison 48a4487a9c the food and f8c59dd6e5 quietly eliminate those 4e5fe71a23 who would defend 330025895f Elysia. She had persuaded those 3702d49b0a who defended Elysia, making 3c808428cd them her people, and 72cbbc0cc2 if they refused, she e8ab2c194a would drive them out ef49f90068 through intimidation or poison 0938c87091 them to death. She would have 07354b6cf0 done worse had 04260fa5b9 it not been f356a1dbac for the unique f8b7c20060 nature of the 77bd788189 outbuilding.ee79564148b626a2

The small size of 952441931d the outbuilding meant that 8bb3c37750 all who entered and 35d0311613 left were conspicuous. As the ‘first daughter’ 601c33cf6b of the Count of 710bd7c127 Creed, Elysia holds the dea2cd30e9 favour of people, and b44a36efc9 for fear of losing a299f42115 it, she commits acts 2ac78c37f3 that are ‘too timid b7c8adf4f5 for Grace’.375b3c776ea15b6f
The day she entered fbc8037b44 House Creed. The day Elysia had never 5b326b9235 once caught Deilroc’s attention. She had swallowed her 90e0122e6e anger, wishing she had 867a250c33 wrapped her hands around b02df4ee32 that slender neck and 2bbec7e99c ended it then and 5962560fdf there when the chance f035f6d777 was in her grasp.884ab8ada1959484

Before her regression, Elysia e0c6dab398 had not been without bfb8a0774c effort. She had started 7000887cfa writing letters to 7a7cafbec9 Count Deilroc to f68734805e change things between 0bb7c5bc70 them. For some reason, he did 733d6da810 not seem to mind. He invited her a831d6ce2e to dine with 8e887c8333 him and seemed accbfc0c1f forward to receiving d4ab6ab1d4 her letters.39fc059971ec3035
From New Year’s Day, when she turned ten, to the day before her kidnapping, she wrote to him for six long months.0284668c0a9a75cb

Last night’s kidnapping was a warning from Grace, who found the behaviour repugnant, and that warning had worked on an already exhausted Elysia.70be5f1f4bf16458
After surviving the kidnapping, the a9ddc1a61c pre-regression Elysia had given up fc79f7ef78 on everything, fearing retribution from 3d995a4d68 Grace. The handkerchief she had finished 39252a54d3 just before being kidnapped, embroidered faa394954e with the count’s initials, never 05dbf31cad made it to him.a1e609dd5b29249d

I had thrown c8a6909e4b it away with 7675c7c7af my own hands.0d008973b2d8490f
Elysia looked down at the 5a0a012eaf handkerchief in her hand and 07e4dc40cb thought to herself. The reason she had started 708dfa2ec6 writing letters to her father, c176557e5d Count Deilroc, was simple. To protect those she af64148f34 cared about and those 9b78e3acd9 who cared about her. To do something to 746ce05323 change her pathetic position 6754368067 of watching them die 3b9b53f25d before her eyes and bef73d1181 being unable to do 3433f33022 anything about it.852bd478235a4b87

But the courage 5b389bfb06 and determination she 9c764f3cc3 had summoned up 9f5baaa40b had slipped from 6b78899d5a her hands after 76d4068f78 the kidnapping, and 321c9b3605 she had lived d5722a40ff as if she f5661af1b2 were waiting for 8a9703bc0f her death ever ed62b10636 since.b1fdb3d184eca439

“Why does it stick so easily?”b49d75dec84c3d19
She had expected it would take some time to get used to calling Deilroc Dad, but to her surprise, it felt oddly natural. Because he is from the Earl’s family, with that bloodline, raised under their discipline, she subconsciously tries to understand him rather than because of his true feelings for her.0f398c85ae01d0de

He would be embarrassed to 211f94c046 be in the same room f741c364b2 as an unmarked child. An unknown indifference to 1e7a42b266 the unmarked child and e5dd7dbffb a disgust that goes 6af4862b28 beyond him. It was a different emotion 425a9ff8d0 from hatred.c3e26c61214fe518
Before her regression, less c18efa6aeb than three months after 4dde78ff6e she started writing letters, e86b0abf07 Deilroc had once invited 4a4b411ea1 Elysia to dine with 7cdee9273c him.

Changing into clean e9fe7d1e1c pyjamas, Elysia plunged 4d6fb778c0 into bed. She crawled under the covers a12d986b82 with a squeak.

Something had happened the d0b61aca72 night before, but their 2c6b11647a young mistress did not f0322aa041 comment. After staring at her 23e0b39a92 for a while, she 17896c5866 thanked them for being b55b550598 alive, apologized for waking 3f332d8d56 them, and explained how 6b14f55a3a much she had wanted d6127088d6 to see them again. The young mistress, b6c08e554d the one they 4b083d0322 were supposed to 8b7a3e3bea protect, had instead 267be2d7df offered to protect 6e6505a38d them.e016fe07798eacdd
Elysia was fearful. At the slightest 3cfad65ca2 provocation or threat, 6fde6e04a7 she would tremble, 17d9c3bd6f her eyes brimming 5ab4964808 with tears, and a43a5b67bf she would vomit.

It was as if their mistress had become a different person overnight, and it wasn’t just Larry and Cecile who thought that. Elysia’s other handmaidens seemed to feel it too.e2c40b29846ba294
Elysia’s handmaidens were chosen with great care by her long-serving headmaid, Larry. They were trustworthy people who would not hesitate to lay down their lives for Elysia, and many of them already had. The causes of their deaths were varied, each one leaving Elysia struggling to even eat in peace.d3ac9a2e3df2c28d
