Chapter 14
The ht around the corner, she startedplans
How to approach him
How to lure him in
How to make him Duke
Truthfully, the third step of this plan wasn’t soht about it for a few days, so she decided to think realistically
What’s urgent right noere the first and second steps
First, she would need to think about what to talk to him about, but Rosetta and Cassion weren’t exactly socialites
Both of them stayed away from the social scene, so they never saw or talked to each other before
It was going to be a probleed to see him
Would it be possible to persuade him with only three days left?
She couldn’t just say, ‘Hey, why don’t you becoht by the Carter family as she helped out Cassion
‘At least, until Cassion becomes Duke’
Until she was certain of this
Then, there was only one thing she’d choose
She needed to approach hi, and at the same time, to create a situation where he wouldn’t dare to reject her proposal
And she kne both conditions would be e accident
While she recalled the past few days, the carriage stopped halfway up the e, she checked on the horselance, she could see the cliff path through the gaps between the trees that were standing diagonally due to being on a hillside
‘I think that’s enough’
There wasn’tas she kept the tiht find them at once
If the trees covered this much and the slope was like this, then she wouldn’t have to worry about being caught
She thought it should be fine
She could see the bottom from the top clearly, but the top couldn’t be seen fro the branches she held onto, she went back to the carriage
“I apologize, Milady, but we shouldn’t stay here for long”
When she got back to the carriage, the horselanced towards the sky, concerned
“The sun is setting When the sun goes down, these reerous Not only the erous As expected, it would be better to bring a knight“
With his continued lanced at her
And she answered with a quick glance
“It’s alright No one dares to look at the color of ave to Damian
She said, ‘I want to clear my head It’s hard to stay where Katie used to be,’ when she asked for perht on her, but she refused by using the saave the horse to haveto keep under wraps
In the first place, she kept it a secret that she had come to a remote mountain
‘By now, they’ll think I’ve arrived at the hotel or walking dohile still within the Duke’s territory’
If they had known that I’d stop by this ht on her
“Even if I look like this, I’m still a Valentine I’m confident I can protect enerations, the Valentine Duchy had always been a house of warriors or knights Even wo to Rosetta’s memory, both Alicia and Rosetta already kne to handle a sword and they’d s to become a warrior
It was a must
But more lessons on swordsmanshi+p were optional
To be honest, both Alicia and Rosetta were only trained with the basics, so if the horse was obviously a dog’s death
If they knew she was one of the Valentine’s Ducal Princesses, then they’d definitely ai for ransom
Sometimes it was better to just keep people in the dark so they wouldn’t concern themselves so much
“Don’t worry yourself I won’t be here for long, I just want to see the sunset before we descend the mountain”
“Yes, Milady”
At Rosetta’s words, there was a htened the string on his pouch as though he was excited to leave
The horse, which had been chewing on an apple until recently, looked at the closed pouch forlornly, but the horsean to prepare for their descent
He arranged the pouches and put theloves and reins over and over, then soon squatted down next to the carriage to take a look at the wheels
Rosetta looked at the sky quietly again
The sky was the only indication of ti because she didn’t have a watch
The sky had become redder
And not only the sky, but also the world beneath it
The green leaves of the trees were tinged red by the sky, looking as though it had becoh it was still summer
‘I think it’s about time…’
If it’s that time, then it wasn’t dinnertime anymore
‘Cassion, 19 Exactly a week before the acade the hour of dinnertime’
The novel’s information in her mind was accurate
She had moved forward after Katie’s arrest, but that was only within the Valentine household, so nothing else in the world had changed
After leaning against the carriage, I sloalked toward the horse late, so she had to prepare this side as well
After walking silently, she stood behind the horseman
Covered by the shadow of a tree, Rosetta’s own shadow did not appear, so the horseman didn’t notice her approach
“Hey”
“Oh—goodness!”
At her sudden call from behind him, the horseman turned around and yelped
She didn’t er, quickly stabbed a pressure point beneath his ear as he faced her
After the pressure point was touched, the horseman lost consciousness and couldn’t even close his eyes Then, he collapsed
