Chapter 24

Their eyes old

Neither of them turned away

Rosetta stared at hih she was aiave you tiain So choose noill you follow me, or…”

Her lips stopped

Inside that rooo, she had paused like this as well

She would stop her words fro her lips and delay as to follow

That’s why he was left i what it could possibly be

What would she say now

The lips that had been closed tightly opened right then

Carefully, as though a red floas secretly bloo from a bud

“Or will you just die”

The flower that bloomed was poisonous

The cold wind bleeen them

Was it because the weather had been unpredictable for a while, or was it because the alley was cold no matter how deep into the summer they were?

“Will you kill htforward question, Rosetta nodded

“I can’t let the person who heard about my plans stay alive I’m a detail-oriented person And I’aze never deviated from Cassion’s eyes

With tension in the air, Rosetta continued speaking as her eyelashes fluttered

“But I won’t kill you with my own hands”

“Then?”

“If I just return you to the state you were in before and take you back to the cliffside, the person who caused that accident would come and take care of you for me”

Unfortunately, that was truly plausible considering his family

If Leo or the duchess would find out that he was still alive after the scene of the accident had been checked, they would definitely have hie accident was such a good opportunity for theht of stairs

It was clear that the only result of this kind of accident would be ‘death’, unless there was soave hi hand, or if he returned ho this far, Cassion suddenly realized so

“…But how did you knoasn’t just an accident?”

The wo to do with the duchess or Leo

But wasn’t she talking too casually about this, as if she truly knew that there was a ‘criminal’ behind the ‘accident’?

‘How the hell does she know?’

One of Rosetta’s eyebrows visibly rose

Against her normally calm features, this reaction was quite different

“Is that important now?”

“It’s very important”

“Will my answer help you make your decision?”

“Yes It’ll help”

Rosetta looked into his eyes, seeing his deterhed inwardly

‘Sure I knew this would happen’

Rosetta nation

She had already guessed that she could be asked this question at least once

In the first place, if Cassion hadn’t asked her here, she had the intention to talk about it someday in the future

A seed of doubt would one day bloo suspicion

Seeds buried in one’s heart would o awry

It would rot and fester, and everything would eventually become suspicious in his eyes

But when she knew for sure that Cassion was on her side, she would have explained everything then

Rosetta’s gaze headed back to Cassion

Even when her gaze wasn’t on hi his constant doubts on her, she smiled and wondered what she should answer

Of course, she already had some excuses prepared in advance

That she heard the carriage’s crash by chance, and when she went to investigate the loud noise, she saw that the horseuilt on the horseuessed that it wasn’t an accident And sure enough, she saw his body lying unconscious at the base of the cliff

That, in fact, as soon as she recognized hiht that she should just turn a blind eye He was another noble and he was part of one of the other three major families of the country She supposed that it would be troublesoot involved in all this

But she just couldn’t leave him there

Because he was Cassion

Because he was the eldest son of the Carter Duchy, the one who couldn’t wield itimate child herself, she felt a sense of solidarity with hi her back secretly as well

And… she was lonely

So she wanted hiht he would understand how she felt

However, she thought that she needed soe risk for her as well

That’s why she asked hirant her ‘wish’, and he replied that he would

—This was the excuse that Rosetta had prepared in advance, to explain why she noticed that it was not just a sirant her wish

But…

‘I wonder if I should do that’

As she faced Cassion now, she didn’t like the idea of giving him these excuses

In the end, these were all false

Would she rather make excuses?

Truly?

Did she really need to lie now?

If Cassion would reject her proposition, she was going to abandon hi like returning hiinal state, but she’d still throw him back over the cliff

Dead or alive

She knew that already

She didn’t know if this was the obvious choice

However, it was the best choice for Rosetta

Cassion was a ‘villain’

It nificant role here

There were no other supporting roles

Wasn’t he that kind of character?
