Episode 146

It was an instant to abandon Carola, who had been his backwater for a long time and had a lot of affection for each other in his youth.

Jain immediately said servilely.

“Actually. I am in a very difficult situation.”

“What do you mean?”

“It is true that I accidentally wrote a marriage contract with Lady Elisha in the past. But I didn't lay a finger on his body, and the marriage fizzled out. Lady Elisha was not even fifteen at the time. How to get married! It is something I regret very much now.”

“If you're right, it's all in the past. What's the trouble?”

“That……. Carola keeps forcing me to attack Lady Elisha and resurrect her marriage……. I didn't want to get caught up in the affairs of the duke's family. So there was no choice but to run away!”

Jain knew at least that he had to hide the plot of the night before. What would happen if he found out that he had made up his mind and tried to rape Lucerne's wife? The neck will definitely fly off.

The mindset of those with ugly hearts was obvious. Pass the blame on to someone It was a natural step for Carola, who was in crisis, to become the target of the transfer.

“What? Jain. You said you liked it too! Married to Elisha, she said she wanted to take her possessions from her Lucerne!”

Carola hurled her curse at Zayn. Jain had known Carola for a long time in the first place. So she thought of Carola more like an old friend than a lady. Arguments in this case can easily become private and messy.

“So. That's how you seduced me. If I had passed, I would have approached Lady Elisha at least once since she came here. But I kept refusing. But if you keep bullying and harassing people, that woman is insane!”

In front of the housekeeper, they fought messily and spattered. Seeing this, the gaze went cold. Her self-defeating testimony made Carola seem more like a sane woman.

“Get that guy out of my sight right now. And get rid of her and lock her up.”

“Please save me! Didn't you honestly confess everything?”

Jain begged.

“My lord.”

Then, unexpectedly, Lucerne opened her mouth.

“I heard that Jain was a knight who worked under Jacob for a long time. They say he once saved Jacob's life.”

“It is.”

Gaju gave a short answer.

“Then I take over the recruits. Jacob must have taken his anger out on him. It is not good for a loyalist who even saved the life of a member of the Cartier family to be treated coldly in public. I will properly put it as a knight under my command and send it to the border area in the future.”

It was very dangerous near the border. The birthplace of monsters was lurking in every corner of the empire. Often, going to the border was accompanied by the meaning of going on an expedition to the place where monsters originated.

“If you survive there, I will keep you under my command.”

“But didn't that guy kill Elisha's father?”

The family head's question was directed at Elisha.

“Let it be. In fact, I've rarely seen my father's face. Whether a person lives or dies on the battlefield is fate. I do not hold petty grudges.”

Elisha was a bit cold-hearted when she said it. Satisfied with Elisha's answer, Kaju nodded her head.

'It's border crossing. Even if you get far from success, you can survive as long as you keep your senses.'

For once, Jain was satisfied with that. When the disposition of her father was decided, Carola was next.

“Elisha. What do you think she will do with Carola?”

“I think she doesn't think Carola is an evil person.”

“…… What?”

Elisha said calmly.

“Sometimes people do strange things against their will. They say they are intoxicated by some kind of madness. Even though I'm stuck in a laundry, I know about Carola a few times. There were times when they took care of us lovingly, but they often came to the laundry and did strange things.”

“…… Is that so?”

“Elisha. I have to be honest.”

Lucerne soothed Elisha as if encouraging her.

“She said, 'What did Carola do to women?”

“…… She would often beat up kids who were pretty.”

Many of the young girls from aristocratic backgrounds had good looks. She was Carol, and she would regularly step on the women she thought would catch Jacob's eye beforehand.

In addition, during this time in her previous life, Elisha worked as a bookkeeper for Carola and Jacob. At this time, her carola's depravity was already considerable. Elisha, she went through it right next to her and she remembered it all.

Elisha calmly recounted Carola's misdeeds over the past year. However, all of them made up like rumors heard in the capital.

“Is that what you usually do?”

It was only natural that the family head's face hardened.

“I'm sorry. She had no intention of telling a story.”

Elisha said in a calm manner. If it had been before, she would have thought of Carola's depravity as cute.

However, once she is hated, even her pretty points tend to be seen as her flaws. Elisha only had to provide grounds for the householder to criticize.

“Okay. You must be punished.”

“No. I mean. I don't mean to speak badly of Carola.”

“…… What on earth do you want to say?”

“I think Carola needs treatment. That's why she sometimes does great things. Otherwise, it is not by nature evil. Why would you do these things?”

“…….”

The householder shut her mouth at Elisha's words. Elisha had already guessed the intentions of her family head.

'There is only one way to fix this. She's like Carola going mad.'

In order to resolve this incident, from now on, the family head and the emperor will do their best to turn Carola and Jewel into photons.

You cannot assign intention to what madmen do. I just had to make it with the tartar of two sexually deranged people. After the two were buried, the relationship between the two families would be sealed without any problems.

“Okay. You're right. It must be that Carola suffers from severe madness.”

“My lord. Not so. Carola's mind is fine!”

“Noisy.”

The family head cut off Carola's words with her single sword.

“Take Carola to her forest godhouse. And she forbids meeting people from today. Because she will need time to get better.”

“Are you going to pass on the punishment for insulting your grandfather's coffin? Your deceased grandmother must be sad.”

Lucerne said bluntly.

The family head hesitated at the word 'grandmother'. He sharpened his teeth.

“Okay. Of course you should be punished for that. She seems to like Carola to lie in her coffin, so she prepares a wooden coffin and locks her in it for three days. She doesn't even allow a drop of water to be given.”

“Well, wouldn't it take ten days for her self-reflection?”

Lucerne snorted.

“Go, my lord. Then Carola dies. Please save me Lord!”

Carola let out her screams. Gaju didn't even pay attention and spoke nonchalantly.

“Then let's do it for four days. That way she won't die. Shut her mouth and take her away.”

The duke's servants dragged Carola out.

“Eup, oops!”

The sound of Carola's muffled screams echoed through her room. But even she is Jain. No one cast a pitying glance at her Caroline.

'Carola. I'd rather die now.'

Elisha looked at her pitifully.

'Hell will begin in the future.'

She wanted to bite her tongue.

She said, 'Twice she tried to put me in a chest or something like a coffin. She should be happy to go in as well.'

But she knew that Elisha actually liked Carola to be thrown into her casket rather than her coffin. So she was very sorry.

*​ *​ *​

The highlights didn't end there. It was the same with the royal family.

Two days have passed since the incident. The annex where the imperial family stayed was not easily approached by people from the duke's family. In front of them, the knights of the imperial family were escorting them without leaking water.

Listening to the words of the attendants who ran errands in the duke's house, it was said that there were several loud shouts in the mansion. The emperor was a man with a strong body and a loud voice. It is said that he burst into anger as if he would catch and kill Jewel.

Elisha was confident that there would be quite an interesting scene being created there as well.

The next morning, Ilione came to Lucerne and Elisha.

“Lucerne. Elisha. I don't know the exact reason behind this. But it must be clear that the two were involved. If you can reveal the true nature of Jewel, it's the perfect thing for me. Because Jewel was a very big obstacle for me to inherit the throne.”

Instead of arguing with each other, Ilione spoke directly to the two. The princess, who went to the battlefield, her communication was clear and quick.

“Come to the annex now. Very quietly go with me I have a duty to show you how things are going.”
