Lara’s room was stained with blood.
It used to be full of white and elegant things, but now it was disastrous.
The attendant, who had been called by the Marquess, sprayed hemostatic agent on Lara’s wrist and put on the bandage with his hands shaking.
“Isadora has no choice but to accept my offer. Because she’s stupid.”
Marquess of Bailey stood in front of a door, far from Lara. He was talking to himself while smoking a strong cigarette.
“If I just wait, she will come in with her head down. Both you and that woman are emotional, so you can’t make heads or tail of something and keep on acting your way.”
Lara could tell without asking about it.
Her father must have sent a message to her mother. If she wanted to save her daughter, restore everything.
One might wonder what the point of restoring everything was when the knights of the royal family had completed their investigation, but Lara could see why he did this from what he was muttering about.
“I can’t hand over the House of Bailey to her—to that lowly merchant who knows nothing but money…”
Everything was because of that damned ancestry.
After his father’s name was stripped off, there would be only her mother and Lara in the House of Bailey. The King will try to bestow a suitable reward upon Isadora, the major contributor to this incident. If the King recognizes her mother—the richest person in Hautean—as an official Marquess instead of her banished father, wouldn’t anyone speak highly of the King for making a wise decision?
After hearing a scream, the owner of the riding suit boutique ran out in surprise and found Eunice and Ximena, who collapsed after being assaulted by the kidnappers.
They were in bad shape.
Their heads were torn and bleeding, and their faces had become swollen.
Ximena, who was hit in the stomach with a fist, could not straighten her back for a while even after waking up. The boutique owner urged them to go to the doctor and told them to go report the incident to the watchmen station. But as soon as they came to their senses, they ran at full speed in the carriage and went to Isadora.
“Lady Isadora!”
There was no need for a long explanation.
A carriage and men that appeared all of a sudden, assault and kidnapping.
Eunice burst into tears, saying that they both had immediately lost their consciousness, so they didn’t know where Lara was taken.
“I’m sorry. I should have stopped them from taking Lara… I should have asked the carriage to be on stand-by first before going out. No, I was wrong to call Lara out…!”
Isadora was with Sebastian in the office of her hotel.

“Lara…”
Isadora’s face lost its color all at once.
“Ma’am!”
Sebastian helped Isadora who was staggering.
She clasped his forearm and took a deep breath twice. Then, she quickly issued an order.
“Call a doctor. Both of you need to be treated first. Sebastian, contact the knights of the royal family and let them know about this.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“What about Demian?”
“He has gone back to the arena.”
“Call the wolves, tell them to bring Demian and to go to Bailey manor.”
Sebastian went around the hotel to pass on Isadora’s order with a voice loud enough to make the hotel resonate.
“I’m sure my husband did it. Because he knew I was the one who reported about him.”
Isadora left Sebastian at the hotel for communication and set off personally to Bailey manor with her carriage.
Demian, who had returned to the arena after being away for a long time, was just sleeping himself out when the wolves suddenly came and informed him that Lara had been kidnapped.
He made no response whatsoever.
As soon as he got up, he grabbed a weapon, kicked the closed door, and ran out.
“Hurry up!”
The mercenaries also ran after Demian.
Shocked by the ruckus, the arena warden came running. But Demian’s room was already empty.
“Quick, faster!”
Before leaving, Isadora said to the wolves.
If they had to kill the Marquess of Bailey, so be it.
If they had to kill everyone in the house, so be it.
They did not have to worry about the consequences.
She would take responsibility for whatever happened, so she asked them to save Lara at all costs.

Isadora said with a pale face that she would break Marquess of Bailey’s limbs even if a single cut was found on Lara’s body.
