Chapter 90 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (¼) **** She thought she had heard something, so she chuckled, but then came to her senses. It was because she was looking forward to getting on a carriage. Then someone got out of the carriage and rushed up to her. "Teacher, no, Countess...! What are you doing in this dark, dangerous place........!" Tears welled up in her eyes at the familiar sight. The welcoming voice belonged to Pietro, Viscount Engel’s son. *** "..................master."...

Chapter 89 **** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (3/3) *** "No, wait..................." -click. There was the sound of a gun being loaded. Everything was suddenly as quiet as a mouse. Louise feared that she had been hearing things, or that a bullet was about to fly out of nowhere and pierce her body. But whether she died here or was taken to Domus, the outcome would be the same. She gritted her teeth and called out again. "Help, help me, please...! Here, there's someone in the wagon!"...

Chapter 88 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (2/3) *** After biting down on the rope until she thought her jaw was going to fall off, she managed to untie the knot. She rose to her feet, barely free, and realized she would need a sharp tool to untie her wrists behind her back. Louise glanced at the decorative locked chest. Maybe there's something useful in there. If it contained pottery, she'd break it to use it. ...................... At first glance, the lock looked decorative and...

Chapter 87 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (⅓) *** But if he expressed such an opinion now, the arrow would go straight to Ferdinand. And Ferdinand was clearly Caius’s man. It was hard for him to understand, but if Ferdinand had stolen Louise, it was because of the marriage of convenience to strengthen Caius’s imperial power. He knew how important the name of the imperial family was to his lord after twenty years. With that in mind, it was easy for Michael to envision...

Chapter 86 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (5/5) **** Ferdinand pulled out a letter with a sullen face. "Your Majesty, it's................... You need to see this." Caius took the letter and opened it quickly. His handsome face grew cold as he read the neatly written words. [Dear Caius. I have given you the pearl, and I trust you will succeed in restoring the imperial throne. I hope I was of some use to you during my short stay by your side. But who am I to you, who will ascend higher,...

Chapter 85 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (4/5) *** "No wonder I take after my father, unlike my uncle's cuckoo cub." The Emperor spat, not hiding his agitation at Caius's sarcasm. "Nonsense! You're making up all that crap, and the mark will appear on Leopold, too, because he's still young............!" Then Caius asked, amused. "By the way, have you seen Leopold today?" "What? Why is he..................." The Emperor's face suddenly turned pale as he shouted. Then he grabbed Michael by...

Chapter 84 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (3/5) *** But Ferdinand continued, as if to blame her. "I think Stefan is turning in his grave. The second Ermoli to betray him?................. You don't know what your parents did for him." Louise’s stomach churned as she listened to the brazen man's words. Did this mean that her parents were innocent after all, and he was so sure of it, yet he pretended not to know all this time? No, he hadn't just pretended, for it was Ferdinand who had...

Chapter 83 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (2/5) **** Even though she knew he enjoyed her misery, her tears.................. Louise could not be sure of anything. She climbed the creaky stairs, feeling like the only fool in the world. Once inside the small room, she was forced to sit down in a chair. One of the two men pointed a gun at her, while the other stood in the doorway and watched. Even if the men hadn't been armed, Louise would have had a hard time getting away from the two...

Chapter 82 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (⅕) *** Only then will the man of her heart understand how she feels. That she would not betray him, that she would stay by his side. The man who didn't trust her for a second didn't end up taking her to his final destination, but loyalty could only flow one way. ..................Love, too. Louise turned to the soldiers as they walked slowly through the city, sitting on the horse’s back. "Have you.................. been stationed outside of...

Chapter 81 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (2/2) *** "..what................?" Louise questioned innocently, but Pauline smiled broadly. "I know it's not quite time for His Excellency to return, but I can't imagine what you’d be waiting for. I'm sure you’re expecting news." Louise couldn't help but smile back at Pauline. "I didn't want to give it away, but.................. I've been found out." "Oh, Madame. Please be honest with me. Even if we have to wait, it'll go better if we wait...
