Volume 1 Chapter 40 (1/2)

“Sakura, are youreally a spy?”

While Sakura was happy with herself for taking down the big man, the lonely voice of another man reached her ears from the woods behind her

She was shocked to turn around and look into his eyes

Harunobu? Why is he here? How irl is so powerful! Good thing I’h! If you had chosen soe movements” Thea thick beard as he went up to report to Harunobu “Yaht her irl like her could be so powerful! Master, please be at ease I have ordered the bowmen to circle the woods She won’t be able to escape”

“Forget itTell the bowmen, Hana, that without my order, nobody can loose an arrow”

Harunobu called hiest military officer, Hana Toratane When he mentioned the name Kansuke, Sakura soon understood that she had been framed by that man Kansuke pretended to be irritated by her, and used the same method to meet her as before It’d been his plan to let Hana wait for her in the woods, and then he brought Harunobu to co man

She lost, totally Maybe Kansuke was destined to thwart her Anyway, she couldn’t escape fro the pain in her heart

“Why do you lie to me?” Harunobu ca her lips, Sakura stared at his face, and her heart continued sinking This face without any expression was so strange to her Was this the same one who sneaked into her room and promised to protect her?

“I know that any explanation at this ti to you I just want to tell you, even if I have some plan for you, I am not a spy”

“The fears you confided in ht?” He smiled desperately, and his look was cold, filled with a will to not accept the truth “Father toldthis period, anyone but you could be a spy But if you can handle this in an appropriate way, even a spy can be your servant I just want to knowto know your true heart Did you even love me?”

“Harunobu” Her throat choked with sobs Though she wanted to tell him so ? Or was your heart like Yiu’s? Being forced by me, you prepared to defeat me someday at a suitable time? Or will you tolerate it until my death, then take control of the family?”
