“Wh— what’s the matter, now!”
The Head cried out because he felt like his stomach was about to explode.
“Oh, no. You can’t look inside the coffin!”
said Elisha. Gaju approached with great strides. He looked into the coffin. It was the first time everyone had witnessed such an outburst of fury in the Head’s eyes of the family head.
[Elona de Cartier. Rests here.]
[Ramund de Cartier. Rests next to her.]
Inside the coffin was the nameplate of the deceased Duchess. And next to it was a nameplate engraved with the name of the still-alive- family head. The Lord’s face turned red.
“You— now… … . On top of my name and Elona’s… … . Did you do this?”
Gaju had been observing Carola’s strange behavior. He found something strange. By any chance, Carola must have made a mistake. There must be some hidden conspiracy… … .
However, the situation changed when she insulted the family head like this. The family head strode towards Carola, who was leaning on the arms of the ladies-in-waiting and couldn’t come to her senses.
Slap!
Gaju slapped Carola hard on the cheek. She still hadn’t come to her senses.
“Ah, here… … . Yes, this is… … . Carola.”
Then Lucerne winked. A tiny, separate shadow hidden in the coffin was attached to Carola’s body and moved.
Last night, Lucerne separated Shadow into tiny shadow demons. And he left it in the coffin. And the shadow, when the time was right, burst the capsule Carola had brought with her inside her coffin. However, the two of them were asleep all the time due to the sleeping pills Lucerne used. As soon as they opened their eyes, they inhaled the drug remnants remaining in the coffin and fell into a frenzy.
At that time, Lucerne’s Witchbeast stabbed Carola. Lucerne’s magic beast could attack people with an awakening effect.
“Ah!”
Carola came to her senses.
Then, coming to her senses, Carola looked at people with dumbfounded eyes.
“My Lord? Carola… … . What happened to Carola?”
But soon, as if recalling her memory, Carola’s face went white. Her body trembled.
Memories began to flood in.
‘What did Carola just do? With Jewel. In the coffin… … . Jewel definitely looked like Lucerne. Are you saying she’s acting rude in front of people?’
Carola then found Elisha looking at her. She was very aloof. Watching her cynically, like a bug. At that moment, she realized she had fallen into a trap. Goosebumps ran down her back.
‘No, it can’t be like this. Elisha was supposed to be here!’
Carola found Jacob among the people. She sighed and approached him.
“Jacob, help Carola. This is all a misunderstanding. Carola didn’t.”
But Jacob’s condition was strange. He was breathing heavily.
He could put up with one or two of Carola’s adulteries. But at this moment, Carola had properly touched Jacob’s wrath. Calling out Lucerne’s name in front of the people and doing it in front of her husband.
“You damn bitch! Betrayer! This bloody bitch ruined everything!”
Jacob kicked Carola in front of people.
“Kyyaa!”
Carola fell on the floor and looked around her in bewilderment.
“C—Carola has fallen into a trap! It’s all that bitch’s work! There’s no way Carola would play a prank with the Lord’s nameplate!”
she pointed to Elisha and shouted.
But no one listened to Carola. She felt the people’s gaze. It was a look that indicated her downfall.
Disgust and contempt. From the two men she believed in. The enmity and fury of Gaju and Jacob.
Now, what mattered was not the truth. More important was the fact that she had earned both men’s hatred. The Cartiers were generous to their daughters-in-laws. But if anyone fell out with them and earned their malicious acrimony, it was over for them.
