Chapter 17

Melvin, whose eyes atery, had his head down Then, he jumped as he heard the lady’s sweet, hushed voice

What did she ure it out Rosetta’s serene atmosphere was unreadable

She continued to talk as she looked at the injured man

“I’ll take that man with me and have him treated, but let’s keep it a secret that we picked him up from this place Actually, isn’t this situation unfair?”

“Wh-what do you mean by that, Milady?”

Rosetta tilted her head to the side, as though the ansas obvious

Melvin stared blankly at her, then turned his gaze towards the injured man

“We were cut off on the road, but that horse over there got frightened and ran away I’m not sure about you, but don’t you think it’s unfair? I’ll be fine, but… you could lose your job”

Her voice which lulled him to a stupor had a mysterious power to draw hi without saying a word, he nodded unconsciously

‘Coht’

Wasn’t it hie normally, but the other horse surprised itself

And then that other guy went over the edge all by hie—no, it would be unfair if he would be asked to take full responsibility for this accident

“That’s true”

“Also, I heard that quite a few servants will be dismissed and replaced soon”

“Pardon?”

He had been staring at the carriage, but his gaze turned back to Rosetta

Her voice becareat secret

“A lot of servants are about to be dismissed But I, for one, think that you’re the best horse time So, let’s keep what happened here today just between the two of us, hm? What do you say?”

“Even… even so, would that be alright?”

It was a desperate question, but the pendulu to the other side for quite a while now

Rosetta se who had acquitted a sinner

“Of course It’s not like we’re abandoning this ets treated”

“Mi… Milady…”

“Don’t worry When he wakes up, I’ll talk to him and smooth over this incident I was the one who asked you to take h it wasn’t on our itinerary, so I should at least do this The only thing you’ll need to do is keep your lips sealed tightly If anyone asks or raises any suspicions and our words don’t match… I’ll just be called a liar, but you’ll becohtly…”

“We never came here in the first place I looked around at the city according to the schedule I have, then you dropped ht?”

As her gentle whispers continued, Melvin’s heart gradually stopped pounding nervously

In the end, he wanted to hold her hands in his and cry

He wouldn’t be blamed at all Instead, the lady would even deal with all of it herself

Not only that, but she was also even worried about his job and suggested to just keep it all a secret

How could a noble do so much for a mere horseman?

“Yes, of course, Milady I’ll keep it to orously, his eyes grateful for the chance that he could still keep his job He clasped his hands together tightly, still holding the handkerchief that the lady gave him

Rosetta’s smile widened as she looked at Melvin

She soon reached into her pocket and took out a shi+ny gold coin, holding it out to the horseman

The eyes that were soaked with emotions just now opened wide

“Milady… this is…”

“A bonus You must have been so surprised today, but I know better than anyone that none of it was your fault I’ this to you so you can relax later”

“You don’t need to, Milady…”

“Coift frohtful’

Even if the mythical saintess would descend upon this land, she would be nothing coether so that he wouldn’t shed any tears, then he held out his tre hands that still held onto the handkerchief

It was inore the lady’s sincerity

Soon, the gold coin was placed on top of the handkerchief, then she old coin sparkled under the light of the early lie rattled

The eyes, which looked out thethrough the slightly opened curtains, were cold

‘Now, Melvin’s lips had been sealed’

There was a reason why she deliberately shut the horseman’s mouth shut

There was a li loose lips

Of course, there were definitely people who could be shut up in one go with money, but there were only a few of theh to stop at just a taste?

Rather than money, the other ways to effectively shut people up were trust, conscience, and fear

She was ready to take advantage of every option available to her

All four methods were applicable to Melvin, so he wouldn’t dare to leak information

Outside the , the sky had darkened

The carriage continued travelling under the bleak night sky

The ath to induce a romantic air, but the unconscious man opposite her was in such a bad condition that such a frivolous romance was far from her mind
