“Elisha,”

Lucerne called her.

“I like what you are painting [t1v: he is referring to her schemes]. Just keep the line so you’re safe. Do you remember what I said beforehand?”

Elisha meekly nodded.

“I will not damage your property.”

She repeated his order without much thought.

“Good,”

Lucerne said with satisfaction.

“By the way, the fact that Carola’s sex fantasy is you, did you know?” [E]

“If I had known, I would have hated her more.” [L]

Elisha wanted to laugh.

“Why?”

“Impertinent.”

Lucerne looked down into Elisha’s eyes and whispered. Suddenly, her body lay down on the sofa.

“I can only eat my wife’s hole.”

“Hmm… … .”

Delirious kisses poured in. Elisha’s back trembled at the tongue sticking out as if it were going to swallow the root of her tongue. His kisses woke her up faster than the chocolates.

“Aren’t you glad your marriage is fair? Thanks to that, I can possess your chastity,”

Lucerne whispered quietly.

“Shall we?”

“No… … . No, we can’t. Wait until tonight.”

“… … .”

Lucerne’s eyes became ferocious. Elisha was even more frightened. She comforted him by stroking his firm arm.

“The day isn’t over yet.”

At her soothing words, Lucerne’s beast-like eyes fell heavily from Elisha’s lips. He licked her lips tantalizingly.

“We have to go see Carola. If possible, I’m curious and want to take a look at the imperial family’s situation too.”

“Good,”

Lucerne whispered.

“Because there’s a lot to celebrate.”

***

Carola was once locked in a wine cellar for several hours. In the dark warehouse, reality finally settled in.

‘Jacob, I can’t believe you’d abandon Carola instantly like this. This doesn’t make sense—Nonsense…! … .’

Carola wanted to cry. But it wasn’t time for her to cry. If she got stuck on the wrong end of the Cartier family’s vengeance, they could cut her throat, even if it was her.

‘How did we end up like this?’

Carola thought all her problems would be solved last night. She thought there was nothing but fortune ahead for her. But the result was disastrous. She realized that she had fallen for Elisha’s trap.

‘I will kill you. That damn bitch. We’ll kill her even if Carola dies with her. After all, Carola didn’t like her from the first time we saw her.’

Carola felt her hatred for Elisha boil.

‘We should have recognized you from the first time we met. She jumped out into the hallway in her underwear and seduced Jacob.’

Carola married into this house six years ago. Coincidentally, it was around the same time that Count Lor died. At the time, Jacob was busy plundering the territory of the Old Kingdom Alliance so he couldn’t spend the first night with Carola for several days.

She never doubted Jacob’s love. He had even kicked out his ex-wife to marry Carola.

‘I like her. I never thought the daughter of Count Lor would be this pretty. What a waste. But she’s still too young. I’ll have to take a look when she’s older.’

Even before Jacob even had his first night with Carola, he saw Elisha and said, ‘I like her.’ So he took Elisha away from Zain.

Afterwards, Carola took steps to keep Elisha out of Jacob’s eyes. Jacob must not see that woman; she instinctively knew.

After that, Elisha became a forgotten existence. With many beautiful courtesans debuting, Jacob began to enjoy playing with them rather than having a long-term lover. So, Carola also completely forgot about her.

Until Elisha appeared in front of Lucerne, covered in muddy water.

‘The problem is that Carola is too nice. Such a bad bitch should have been punished right away. Then we would be relieved.’

Carola wanted to let go of her wits and wail out loud in rage. She wanted to get out of this situation. But she had no choice.

Jacob didn’t even bother finding her, and the patriarch was sky-high furious. The only reason the Head gave her a decent prison was because the members of the imperial family were still staying at the duke’s house.

‘When the imperial family leaves… … . What happens to me? Will I ever be able to enjoy my old status again?’
