For a moment, both of their eyes turned to her foot.
“He said that if you rest well for a few days, it should not hinder you from walking.”
He continued to look at her foot, recalling the moment he had seen her in Cone Square, limping towards him. He had not forgotten that moment all day, and it had followed him.
“Yes.”
The moment their eyes met, Carson felt uneasy. However, he could not understand why.
It was difficult to judge whether their conversation was natural or not in this situation. She had a peculiar atmosphere that bewildered her counterpart.
“But, Your Highness.”
“Just call me Count.”
“Yes, Count Raymond. Where is my maid now?”
“I sent her back to the Swenden mansion.”
“Is she not injured?”
“That is correct.”
“Ah, then what about the woman who was riding the horse?”
“That woman……”
Carson thought he saw emotion cross Ines’s face for the first time as he talked about that woman. Even when talking about the wound behind her head or whether she would be able to walk properly, she had shown no concern.
“I have locked her in the basement of the mansion. Her identity has not yet been fully determined.”
“You don’t plan to release her soon, do you?”
“Of course not.”
Ines nodded. If Lena’s rambling words were true, then the one behind this event was certainly the current lord of Risonia.
If she could prove that Count Graham was behind the assassination attempt on the royal family, it would be a great weapon for Ines.
“Can I see that woman later?”
“Why would you like to?”
Ines, who had impulsively said she wanted to see Lena, bit her lower lip at the sudden realization. It was only natural for Carson to look at her with suspicion and caution in his eyes. But she could not just let Lena go now.
“Just…… curiosity.”
“Do you know her?”
“Who?”
“The woman imprisoned in the basement.”
“Why would I?”
Ines’s large eyes rolled evasively in front of his scrutiny.
Seeing him slightly furrow his brow, Ines felt she had to divert the situation for the moment.
“Ah…….”
As Ines tilted her head to one side, as if in pain, and touched her forehead with her hand, the corner of Carson’s mouth twitched upward.
Her clumsy acting made him certain that the woman before his eyes knew something. As if she had foreseen the raging horse that would trample her brother, there was no hesitation in her movements in the square.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I feel a little dizzy.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“Then I will call the doctor.”
“Please do.”
Prince Carson von Raymond got up from his seat without hesitation and walked to the door. As he was about to leave, he turned to her, holding the doorknob.
“I have informed Lord Swellden of everything. You need not worry about that part. And Lady Swellden, you cannot leave this mansion until you are fully recovered.”
He left the room without waiting for an answer. Watching him say that she could not leave, Ines realized just as easily as Lena that she was imprisoned here.
(This is a time delimiter.)
A week had passed since the incident, but Lena had made no confession. She only repeated that she had been in the square, intoxicated by the drug, and had done what she did in a state of insanity. Those who had attacked Carson that day were all dead. There were certainly survivors, but the only news they received was that they had died in the security forces.
Despite thorough investigation, there were no marks on them that could identify them. For Carson, who had just arrived in this territory, it was not an easy task to understand the current situation of the mercenaries operating in the territory.
He had also investigated Ines, but aside from being the only daughter of a lord, there was nothing particularly unusual about her. Judging by her background alone, Ines Swellden was all too ordinary.
“He will be here soon.”
As the head butler said that Ines would soon come to the office, he nodded and approached the office window.
‘Ines Swellden, Ines Swellden…’
Tapping the window frame with his finger, he turned to the door at the sound of a knock. And his eyes met the woman who had entered.
She slowly approached him, bending her knees slightly in a formal manner. At that moment, he realized what had been bothering him every time he looked at this woman.
“You said you are 20 years old?”
Carson began with a question, without accepting her formality. Asking a noble lady her age was clearly a breach of etiquette.
Though they were both nobility, he was still of royal blood. Therefore, his question did not feel strange at all.
“Yes, that’s correct.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
