Chapter 16
She could feel her knees growing heavy for an instant
As she glanced at his face, she looked at the long, dark eyelashes over his eyes that were barely open
‘Did he faint?’
Well, he’s endured this far
She felt his pulse and tentatively checked his internal condition through her energy, and it seeans were intact
However, his waist was torn open, his whole body was covered in scratches and his limbs were broken
It looked horrible when she stretched hians, head, and spine weren’t injured
She stared down at the man
For a man as at death’s doorstep, that face of his looked peaceful
“You’re sleeping well, huh? How can you trust htly at Rosetta’s small whisper
He evidently still felt pain as he slept, his blood-stained lips trickling with roaned
She listened to the man for a mo his dark eyelashes
The temperature under her hand was as cold as a corpse, yet at the saht now, it’s alright Shh”
At the shallow coently raised her hand, his wrinkled forehead shed quietly under her breath after seeing this sie
She touched the ertips, then raised her head
‘Now, let’s get this place sorted out’
It had to be arranged in a way that would fool the perpetrators ould arrive later
To make Cassion look like he ran away alone, or that he died while trying to run away
“I’m afraid we’ll have toto
She looked up at the sky, feeling a bit of remorse for the poor man
The early moon had already risen in the sky
The sunset, which had soaked the world in red, disappeared into the horizon as though it was burning the land
It just occurred to her
In the novel, the man as about to lose consciousness looked only at the sky
The last view he had must have been this world that was bathed in red
Sniffle
Melvin, the horseman, slowly opened his eyes as he felt the horse’s breath blowing over his face
Haaam The man yawned until his mouth opened very wide, and he stretched out his lis
‘Where am I…?’
Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, but his mind was completely blank
In a daze, he scratched his head, then soon heard a voice calling hiaze turned to the voice
His hazy eyes trembled as soon as he saw Rosetta’s face
The hand he used to scratch his head stopped, and a bewildered voice leaked out of his lips
“Milady, why are you here…”
“I’m in trouble, Melvin”
Then, his eyes opened wide as he heard the second thing she said
As soon as he lifted his gaze, he re up, he bowed down and fixed the hat over his head
“Oh, I ize, Milady”
“It’s alright That’s not the point right now”
“Pardon?”
At the rather serious voice, he raised his eyes to look at her again
Rosetta’s face was grave
With the sunset painting the sky red and the round, she spoke with a serious expression and a serious voice
It was an oulp
“If that’s not important, then what must we…”
“We collided with so?
He couldn’t believe she was talking about a collision
Surprised, he looked around in a hurry, but there wasn’t any sign of even rain falling He could neither see a lock of hair or the head of any person, even as he rubbed his eyes as he searched
“Ah, where…?”
“Rosetta pointed a finger instead of answering, and the place where she pointed was right in front of their carriage
Her finger had pointed at one place, then doards the edge of the cliff
“Here, and then there”
Melvin’s face became as white as a sheet as he heard her say that
If that was true, then it was obvious that they had gotten into an accident
Besides, any horseman who had dozed off meant that it was all over for him
“It was a man on a horse, but he didn’t see us because of the shadows of the trees As ere speeding up, he saw our carriage and tried to avoid us, but he just… fell over there”
After her calm explanation, Melvin hurriedly lowered hie of the slope where Rosetta pointed a finger
“…Ohelse The end of the slope was a cliffside
