Chapter 340 (2/2)

“Thank you, lady.”

“Well, sir, I think this might be a karma thing here. Are you free for a moment? I’m the third daughter of Viscount Bevon…Sir?”

“Ouch!” Jiun screamed while drawing back from the three talking among themselves when someone snatched her wrist from behind. Caresin quickly grabbed her wrist and turned her back. She could now see his blue eyes clearly.

“You…?”

He opened his eyes wide, then squinted with a suspicious look. She got goosebumps at that, but she desperately pretended to be calm. She did not know what would happen if he found out her identity here.

“Thank you, sir.”

When she lowered her head hesitantly, Carsein opened his mouth after remaining silent as if he were thinking about something, “…No way. She is already dead. ”

“Pardon?”

“Oh, nothing. By the way, are you related to the Monique family?”

‘How did he know this?’ She was stunned, but replied as natively as possible, as if she knew nothing about the family.

“Monique family? You mean the noble family?”

“Yes. Don’t you know? ”

“I’m only a mere commoner. I have nothing to do with the noble family.”

“Hmm, really?”

My mouth dried up when he asked me suspiciously. She felt like his brief silence felt like eternity, so she bowed her head even more, hiding her face.

‘Please give me a pass.”

Did her earnest wish make true? Tilting his head a bit, Carsein waved his hand lightly and said, “Got it. You can go now.”

“Thank you, sir.”

She breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to him. Then she stiffened her legs and quickened her steps to get out of his view. She was scared what would happen to her when he reported this incident to his commander, so she thought it was the best policy to leave the place as soon as possible.

She thought that she survived her encounter with Carsein without being caught, but the very next day she was ordered by Marquis Monique that she would be forbidden from going outside her dwelling.

“Can’t I go out even today?”

“Sorry, lady. You had better not go out for the time being. ”

Jiun sighed at the old man, as always. She put up with his rejection until now for fear of possible repercussions due to her open resistance, but her patience was slowly running out because she had been confined to her place for almost a month.

‘What did I do wrong? Of course, it was my fault that I encountered that noble woman that day, but little did I think I would bump into Casein de Lars there.’

She bit her lip with an annoyed expression. When she was forced to choose between the two options by the emperor, she didn’t want to give up her life even if she was despised by the emperor and Aristia. But because of her extreme stress for more than six months she even thought that she would have been better off being killed honorably than living like this.

‘Yes, nothing is going to stop me now.’

When she thought as far as that, she opened her eyes fiercely and stared at the old man. Normally she would listen to him, but today she didn’t want to. If she had to die like this in extreme stress, she would rather speak out at the risk of her life.

“Please allow me to see the marquis.”

“Why are you suddenly saying that?”

“I’ll do whatever you want, so please allow me to see the marquis. Anyway, you are reporting to him about me everyday, right?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do it, lady.”

“Oh my…you’re really driving me nuts. I’m going to do whatever you want. Why are you harassing me like this?”

The old man, who silently watched her yelling hysterically, nodded slowly a little later. He might have been surprised at her hysterical reaction because she was quiet and obedient until now, but there was no change in his blank expression, as if he was used to her attitude like that.
