Episode 34

“Don't hurt your face!”

Someone shouted. It was a drunken tone with a heavily mixed dialect. Elisha quickly judged the situation.

Not her trained men. They are probably street vagrants who have been bought by someone.

Elisha was wearing her strappy coat-style dress, layering her outer dress over her inner dress. All of a sudden, Elisha was wearing a petticoat and a bustier.

As Elisha continued to struggle, her men lifted the bag over her face. Her eyes were still covered and she couldn't see anything. They put something in Elisha's nose. It smelled of bright, sour herbs. A faint smell of nutmeg wafted through the smell.

'Navigating scent…….'

Elisha, who had been trained by Jacob in her previous life, knew. The numbing incense was not lethal enough to cause her to pass out, but it made her muscles drowsy. And……. It took a while for the effect to take effect.

“Hehe, let's calm down a bit……. Whoops fuck!”

Elisha clawed her man hard with her ring-clad hand. A pointed black diamond scratched her man's cheek.

Elisha shoved her man and ran out of her alley with all her might.

“Damn it, grab it!”

Her men shouted and followed Elisha. Soon, Elisha was swallowed up by the water of the crowd.

“What is it, is it pretty?”

“Which store do you work at?”

Elisha staggered down the street. Elisha in her underwear was so excited about her festivities that the men who thought she was a barmaid threw off her bondage and started teasing her here and there. Elisha's whole body gave rise to goose bumps.

'No, if it's found like this…….'

The general's wife walked among the commoners in her underwear. It is also the wife of a newly married newlywed. It will become the laughing stock of the entire empire.

It was a good reason for divorce. Elisha crept into her alley directly opposite with her staggering steps. People who were excited about her quickly forgot about Elisha.

'You need to calm down. No……. Anywhere……. We need to find a place to hide her…….'

Elisha walked almost instinctively toward a place where there were no people. She had covered her face with her hand.

'Until the knights come to pick me up…….'

Temporary loss of vision came. This was also a symptom of paralysis. After about 10 minutes, when the effect of the incense is fully manifested, your eyesight will also be restored. Elisha covered her face and blinked her eyes. Lights shone over the hazy world.

“Ah!”

Then Elisha felt a sharp pain in her head. It was only later that she found out that she was in pain. Her bodily sensations were a bit numb.

'Hurt…….'

It was a side effect that sometimes occurs from paralysis. She learned about Elisha.

Elisha stopped her steps. She staggered and grabbed the wall, then she grabbed something with her hand. It was like a low stone wall.

There was the sound of people laughing. Elisha was barely standing on her two legs. Elisha ducked over her fence to hide her body.

She was then

What Elisha discovered through her incomplete vision. She was someone's bright smile. What went up while drawing a binggrae ship was a grin filled with vicious malice. She opened her mouth

“Oh my gosh, madam. What are you doing in a place like this?”

Elisha did not know who she was until she heard her voice.

'Arien!'

She was Lucerne's cousin and the wife of Marco, her second nemesis. Elisha's heart skipped a beat.

“I am lost.”

Elisha barely answered.

“In that outfit? Guys, look at this. Here is the general's new bride. Thank you for making a surprise appearance at our gathering!”

She raised her voice as if she was going to die of love for Arien.

Soon the noble ladies flocked. Elisha looked around. The surroundings began to be discerned blurry in the dim vision. As she wandered through the dark alleys, the place Elisha reached was the garden of a small and pretty building.

The fence was low and the door was wide open, so Elisha didn't even know where I had come in.

“Is this the general's new wife?”

“No way, it must be the Cortijan who ran away while receiving guests.”

“You're good at joking, ho-ho-ho!”

Finished. Elisha's eyes darkened.

The fact that she almost got roughed up will not be an excuse. Her enemies in Lucerne will destroy her for the situation in which she appears in her underwear at her ladies' party. Elisha desperately sought a way out of this situation.

“Elisha.”

Elisha slowly raised her head. It was the voice of an unexpected person. A deep, low voice.

“Roo…… Chern?”

She couldn't believe it He was really standing right in front of him.

“What if I leave? How excited are you?”

Lucerne tutted and clicked her tongue. Only then did Elisha examine his outfit. His attire was sloppy. His shirt was undone up to his abs, revealing his strong stomach and chest muscles, and his belt was undone.

“Great, General?”

Arien looked at Lucerne with her trembling eyes. Lucerne didn't care and put the cloth draped over her arm over Elisha's shoulder. He hugged Elisha.

She said, “I was with her wife, and she seems to be a little agitated because her wife has been drinking too much. Isn't today a good day? It would be nice if you could pretend you didn't know that I was messed up like this.”

He said casually.

Elisha couldn't see her eyes well, but she could sense that the ladies were all putting on breathless expressions. A woman couldn't take her eyes off Lucerne's untied shirt.

Arien stuttered and asked.

“Where the hell have you been together?”

Lucerne's gaze returned quietly.

Lucerne was looking at the bushes in the dark space behind the garden.

“So……. The bush over there?”

Gulp, the ladies standing next to Arien swallowed their saliva.

“There was no one in the backyard. We were supposed to have lunch here, but the fire caught on before we even got to the hotel room.”

Lucerne looked at Elisha and said in a whisper.

“If you were going to stop halfway, you should have said no from the beginning. Are you going to play tag?”

An aristocratic man and woman who were excited at a ball eating together outdoors was something that happened once in a while.

The problem was that most of those couples were infidels. The general had a meal with his newlywed wife in the garden.

Not bad, but……. It was a scandal that everyone would love. Imperial aristocrats go crazy when it comes to scandals, and everyone seems to want to believe that this is the truth.

“I think your wife is not well. It's okay?”

“I am ashamed of it.”

“I need to hear the voice of Mrs. Didn't she say she was lost?”

Arien asked, biting her lip. There was resentment in her voice.

“I'm fine.”

Elisha was blushing up to her ears. She leaned her cheek against Lucerne's hard chest.

“I got embarrassed in the middle……. She asked to go to the hotel room. He said he would reserve the room. But I was so drunk, I mistook the location of the employee stairs.”

“That's right. When I see this woman, I can't come to my senses. You should refrain from drugs and alcohol from now on.”

“Approximately……. You made her wife do her medicine?”

One of her ladies, with a plump body, looked at Lucerne and asked. Her lucerne saw her. Elisha thought her Lucerne was looking at her like an idiot.

“I ate.”

“…….”

“Ah, it is a therapeutic drug. They pay for it on the battlefield.”

It was obvious what kind of drug it was. It may be a stimulant or a hallucinogen disguised as a pain reliever. At least the noble ladies of the place thought so. Everyone shut their mouths and looked at each other.

Lucerne kissed Elisha's temple.

“We must go up and continue, my little one.”

“Yes. Go quickly.”

Elisha barely nodded her head. He took Elisha and walked casually into one of the hotel rooms.

Elisha couldn't even breathe until Lucerne put her Elisha on her bed.

“How are you here…….”

“Because what is engraved on the nape of your neck is not a decoration. My knights sent a messenger right back to the hotel saying you were missing.”

Lucerne said. Elisha recalled that she had just felt a strange pain, like a headache.

'Lucerne uses the pattern to find me…….'

It seems she didn't know if her head hurt or the back of her neck hurt because of her numbing scent. Her sight was fully restored and Elisha was aware of her situation. Only then did her tongue move properly.

“Were you around here? How did you come so soon?”

“This is the hotel we are supposed to meet.”

Elisha ran in as soon as her feet landed, and that was where her Lucerne was waiting for her. It was luck. She didn't know what would have happened to her if she had jumped elsewhere.

“Thank you for your help.”

Elisha said softly. Her lucerne looked at her as if asking her to explain. Elisha told her what happened to her.

Although she was attacked by rogues, she immediately ran away, inhaled a strange scent…….

“What did the incense smell like?”

“It smelled of sour herbs. It smelled like nutmeg and a bit of cloves.”

Elisha knew that the smell she smelled was her numbing scent, but she didn't say that much for fear of arousing suspicion. Distinguishing between poison and incense is something only spies learn.

“It smells like paralysis.”

Lucerne said. Lucerne asked her Elisha if she had seen her men's impression of her, and Elisha answered as she remembered.

She said, “I was wearing my wedding ring. The men tore my clothes first without touching anything of value. Perhaps it was someone's order. If a robber accidentally attacked a woman, the body would be searched first.”

“Okay.”

Then Lucerne rang her bell, roughly trimming her clothes. When the hotel bellboy arrived, Lucerne gave brief instructions. The bellboy came carrying something on a tray.

“Drink.”

Lucerne held out her cup to Elisha. It smelled warm.
