Episode 145

It was late afternoon when Carola went out of her wine cellar.

Seeing the family head's face, Carola cried and clung to her like a child.

“My lord! Please don't abandon the Carola. I'm really sorry. The bad one is Prince Jewel! She tried to insult Carol by dragging her into her temple! Prince Jewel always looked at Carola with her sly eyes!”

It was no use blaming Elisha. Because if she were to tell her that she had fallen for Elisha's trap, she would first have to explain the trap that Carola had her version of. Carola decided to put the blame on Jewel in order to get out of the situation for now.

“Then what is this note?! According to Prince Jewel, you seduced me by giving me this note during mealtime.”

A note fell in front of Carola.

[Anyway with me in white…….]

It was definitely Carola's handwriting. Carola and Jacob used to send cortisans to Jewel in this way, but this was something she really didn't know.

“It's a trap! This is not what Carola wrote!”

“Prince Jewel told me everything. Absolutely not rape. Do you think the people in this family are fools? Carola. You must have been hugging Jewel.”

“Yeah, that's Carola……. On medicine……. She was drugged…….”

“Approximately? What drug? The medicine you brought from your parents?”

As if Gazoo was bewildered, she threw her empty capsule in front of Carola.

“Flowers, the main ingredient in this drug,” She says. That flower is a medicinal herb that only your family handles. And this drug was produced by your family and was discontinued decades ago.”

The family head said, shaking her teeth. Even the head of state knew this drug. It was a drug used by nobles when they did debauchery. The drug was suddenly found in her mansion. Who did it appear through?

Besides, the rumors that Carola had put out in advance reached the ears of the family head appropriately. Gaju heard the detailed story through Gail. She said that there are women from the clan secretly having sex in the temple. It has long been rumored that the temple was used for such a purpose.

And now Cartier was the only woman in the family. She, Carol, was caught in a trap she had prepared herself.

“Carola. I've been petting you, but is this family funny? No matter how much your parents fly and crawl, they are just worms that live on the food I throw at them. Except for the imperial family, there is no other family in this country as noble as ours.”

Caroline's face went white.

“Well, Carola…….”

Then the door quietly opened and Lucerne and Elisha entered the room. Carola looked at Elisha with bloodshot eyes.

“This is that bitch's trap! That's the problem. In the first place, Carola wanted Jain…….”

Carola suddenly came to her senses.

“That woman is bigamous! Because she wrote a marriage contract with another man! She says Carola has proof.”

Took.

The family head threw a piece of her paper in front of Carola's eyes.

“You mean this?”

Caroline's eyes widened. She crawled over and saw her wedding vows. It was definitely a wedding oath written by Jain and Elisha.

“How can I…….”

“Then, didn't they do a basic investigation on such a big case? You must have had a hard time living with a lower-than-average intelligence.”

Lucerne looked at Carola and said something dumbfounded. Even at this time, Elisha thought that his venomous remarks were so great.

She said, “Now that you've investigated Carola…….”

“Didn't you also investigate when you started doing that with Prince Jewel?”

The family head looked at Carola like a bug and said.

“It is the same with not being innocent. Besides, that is heavenly. Why, why only me…….”

Out of the dead end, Carola's true nature came out. She is wicked and pure. She had a childlike personality. She had an expression of regret for Carola.

Gaju did not twitch an eyebrow.

“Lucerne has already told me everything. She tells the whole story of Elisha writing her marriage contract.”

The day she arrived at her mansion to prepare for the memorial service.

Lucerne came to the family home alone.

'Elisha seems to be having trouble with Jacob. When Jacob first caught Elisha, she said she forced her to sign a marriage contract with her man who killed Elisha's father.'

Lucerne calmly and politely spoke to the householder.

'But it's in the past, so I don't want to make it an issue. She even confirmed through Gunsan that Elisha was not already married. The misunderstanding between her husband and wife has been resolved, so you don't have to worry if the story comes to the head of the household in the future.'

Carola was shocked that Lucerne acted like that even in this situation.

'Why? Why do they cover such a woman so much?'

Carola has been watching Lucerne for a long time. He was suspicious and cold-hearted, so he wasn't the kind of person to cover someone up.

He could simply be pretty. However, a relative weakling like Elisha was not something that Lucerne had to sacrifice to gain.

That was the common sense of the world Carola had lived in. Lucerne was a man of the same world as her. She had to make common sense work for him too.

If it's good, the relationship between Lucerne and Elisha should have been shaken before the ceremony. And as conclusive evidence, he should have thrown her out after seeing Jain and Elisha sleeping together.

It all came back to Carola like a boomerang. Carola felt like she had been hit a few times over the head.

“Compared to the attitudes of Lucerne and Elisha, you and your wife……. No carola. You are the biggest problem Jacob is also insane. No matter how bad Count Rohr was with our family. Are you trying to get Elisha married to the man who killed Count Rohr?”

Previously, the family head would not have blamed Jacob for his actions. It didn't matter whether Elisha married Jain or not.

This is because Elisha previously belonged to the slave class in this family. But now things have changed.

To the current head of household, Elisha was a person. The patriarch's favor turned slaves into humans and animals into spiritual objects. Ordinary people were made into very noble people.

Such is the class structure of the Cartier family. And Lucerne's protection was at the foundation of the household's favor. So, under that protection, it was possible for Carola to fall into a rank far below Elisha.

“Aren't you sorry for your dead great-grandmother? She was such a perfect woman. If she finds out, she will consider you a disgrace.”

When the householder became excited, Gail became restless.

“My lord. Calm down.”

“Calm down. Lord.”

At that time, Elisha said calmly.

“I do not resent anything. It's all in the past.”

“Look at Elisha. That kid doesn't even resent you.”

“This……. It's nonsense. How……. Putting Carola into this trap……. Bad year…….”

Carola trembled all over her body.

Then she heard a knock on the door. Lucerne went first and went outside the door. A knight whispered something to Lucerne.

“What is it, Lucerne?”

“It looks like there is a knight who tried to leave the knights without permission.”

The commotion this morning was something that should never have spread outside. So, employees as well as drivers were ordered to temporarily stop going out. Therefore, a knight who went out without permission was treated as a deserter and could be severely punished.

“Who are you?”

“This is a knight named Jain.”

The housekeeper's brow furrowed.

“Isn't it Jacob's knight?”

“It seems so. Running away at a time like this? It was strange, so I asked him to bring it.”

Lucerne said. Soon Zain was brought in.

Jain had a blue bruise over his eye. It was the work of the knights of Lucerne.

“Why did you run away?”

The family head looked at Jain and asked expressionlessly. Jain was trembling all over his body.

As soon as Jain and Pansy came out of the barn, Pansy was taken away by the people of the house. Zain couldn't even ask his superior, Jacob, to help him.

Jacob would have been grinding his teeth at them. If Jain had violated Elisha as ordered last night. If that were the case, things wouldn't be so messed up. That hunch was right.

'I'm going to take out my anger on Jacob, so there's no way for me to live now.'

As soon as Zain went to the knights' quarters, he was restrained by them. While desperately running away. Lucerne's knights had stormed in and were about to recapture Zain.

“I……. That……. I don't know anything. Please save me.”

“Jain! Tell me! You're married to Elisha. Yes? You must find your wife!”

Carol Laga looked at Zayn and she spat it out impatiently. Hearing that cry, he glanced over at Jain. The family head searched for her memory. And I barely remembered that the knight who killed Count Rohr a long time ago was Jain.

“Is this the fault of the daughter-in-law I admire the most?”

“That is…….”

“The author is now engaged to Carola's maid.”

Lucerne said briefly.

“Then bring the lady-in-waiting first. If you beat him in front of him, you'll be blown away as to why he behaved suspiciously.”

The housekeeper spoke briefly.

“Please forgive me!”

Jain begged.

This morning. Trampling on the fallen Zayn, Lucerne spoke.

'Tell the householder what Carola ordered you to do. Then I'll save Jacob's life. If it's all Carola's fault, you'll be able to avoid the blades of Gazoo and Jacob.'

Lucerne was a man with overwhelming strength. Jain crawled in front of a real beast, like a wild beast.

As always, the foolish wolves were the first to avoid the current horrors.
