Chapter 11

Rosetta looked at Katie while she was in that state, enjoying the sight in a small way

‘That’s pretty nice’

Katie had built Damian’s trust in her for more than a decade

Rosetta, on the other hand, had been living life as though there was sand constantly running down her throat for almost a decade and a half

Besides, Rosetta had been scolded for a sireat excuse to paint the clarity of their relationshi+ps well

Rosetta looked at Da hand with the other

Fro at her even as the older woround

But his tight lips showed no signs of opening

‘Nohat are you going to do?’

She and Katie did their best to plead their cases

All that’s left noas Daement

Indeed Whose words would he believe?

Would he choose to believe the situation before him, or the trust fed to him over the years?

“Rosetta”

After a while, those tightly shut lips opened

Following the single word said by hiazes, so alike in their golden hue, met each other

“Yes, Older Brother”

Rosetta aze with a nonchalant expression, then stood up fro onto the couch beside her for support

The hand that she was holding in the other slipped out, leaving a trail of blood

Thanks to this, the legs that supported her body were also greatly shaken

Her face betrayed her exhaustion because she had shed a lot of blood

Damian’s forehead suddenly crumpled

It was the same expression when he saw the wound on Rosetta’s face a few days ago

With his forehead still wrinkled, his eyes looked to the ground, then went back up

“You…”

One step

The stiff body !

As the door opened along with the loud sound frouest entered

It was as if the raindrops had been burnt to ashes

The dark sky reht that flashed through it was, its darkness would never go away

One person was about to fall on her knees a the floor

One tried to stand, but stuh the air, lips clenched

And one other ran across the rooolden hair fluttered in the air

Her thin ankles raced across the roo with her bloomed like flowers

“Alicia…”

The naht to Rosetta

Rosetta was the only one in her sight in the first place

At that st everyone in the room, opened her arms unconsciously

Alicia jumped into her arether onto the sofa

“Alicia? You… How…”

Rosetta ly

It was definitely Alicia in her arht now

But Rosetta knew for sure that Alicia should be in the walk-in closet

This scene was meant to be a direct hit to Katie

The more Katie inflicted pain onto Rosetta, the more damned she would be

But Alicia wouldn’t have endured such a scene

Or perhaps it was Rosetta ouldn’t have stood for it

Frankly speaking, it would have been helpful to have someone else distract Katie

And she could have used Alicia to elicit more sympathy from Damian

”Lady Rosetta seems to have locked up Lady Alicia, but I don’t knohere she is now… I-I think the Young Master should go see Lady Rosetta as soon as possible”

At the agreed upon ti hi Alicia at the closet was the best choice for Rosetta

Moderately wide, and the right height

It was a place where she wouldn’t be able to get out by herself

Marie said she already bought the cooperation of Alicia’s otten her out

According to Rosetta’s plan, she would have released Alicia froeon…

But here Alicia was now, burying her face in Rosetta’s e heavily

It seemed like she ran from her room all the way here

Rosetta raised her hand to stroke Alicia’s golden hair, but she soon realized that her hand was covered in blood, so she lowered it again

Instead of patting her head, Rosetta spoke instead

“Why are you he—”

“Oh, goodness! Milady, you’re alright!”

But Rosetta was cut-off by Katie’s sudden exclamation

Katie jueration—like a person on death row, thanking the heavens for a second chance at life

Alicia, as still in Rosetta’s arms, was stunned She flinched at Katie’s voice, but she slowly raised her body up

Rosetta’s chest strangely felt empty

Then, a blank look was directed at her

Rosetta felt guilty for some reason As if she was a sinner

Well, it rong of her to lock Alicia away…

Feeling this strange conflict within her, Rosetta avoided Alicia’s gaze

“Oh, Milady, it ’s fine Your nanny is right here beside you now”

Taking advantage of the fact that Alicia was staring at ain—with tears welling up around her eyes, looking very solemn

“Milady, please come over here”

Alicia’s body tre eyes, which were akin to the pendulu between Rosetta and Katie
