Reyna burst into laughter.
Sitting on the edge of the table, Taylor, seemingly embarrassed by Grandma’s rejection, patted her head.
Taylor defended himself to Grandma.
“Grandma, it’s not expensive for you. I’m friends with Reyna.”
Grandma looked at Taylor again.
“Is our baby your friend?”
“Yes.”
“Is he your boyfriend?”
Taylor just smiled.
“No, he’s not my boyfriend.”
“Why not? Does our Reyna not like you?”
Reyna, with an awkward smile, answered instead.
“Grandma, no. He’s not a boyfriend, just a friend. My best friend.”
“Yeah. Then you can come often.”
Taylor replied affectionately.
“Yes, Grandma. Thank you. I’ll come often.”
Although they were already coming every day.
“Is Reyna taken? By whom?”
“I, I don’t know! They were guys with weird masks. There were several inside the carriage, and, oh, the guy driving the carriage was strange too. They used a towel to cover her mouth, carried her into the carriage, and took her away!”
Brody, rolling his eyes, asked urgently whether to send guards or knights to the northern gate, but Lady Hujak remained silent, standing with a stern expression.
Only then did Brody realize he might be mistaken about something and abruptly shut his mouth.
From Lady Hujak’s perspective, there might be no reason to mobilize guards or go through the trouble of finding Reyna. Neither Lady Hujak nor Reyna had directly communicated any orders, but Brody and Marina suspected the situation where Reyna acted as Christina’s substitute.
It was also conceivable that the Lord and Lady of Hujak might want to inquire quietly about Reyna’s affairs.
So, Lady Hujak might not be eager to search for Reyna noisily. That point was understandable.
However, Brody’s momentary hesitation was because he thought Lady Hujak might not want to find Reyna, and maybe Lady Hujak even wished for Reyna to remain missing.
Perhaps Lady Hujak was involved in what happened to Reyna.
Brody realized he had chosen the wrong person to visit and became pale, shutting his mouth.
From Lady Hujak’s perspective, ‘Reyna’ might be an annoying existence.
If she wanted to rescue Reyna, she should have approached the knights first, not the Lady.
Kai, Lionel, and Arthur.
Brody, looking at Lady Hujak with lost eyes, suddenly fell silent.
“…”
Finally, Lady Hujak opened her mouth and asked.
“Where was she kidnapped?”
Surprised, Brody asked back.
“What?”
The questioning continued.
“Who saw her being kidnapped besides you?”
Brody became tense.
Could it be me… Am I in a dangerous situation now?
Brody’s mind raced instinctively for survival.
“I, I did. In the stables… in the back garden of Sir Arthur. And the carriage ran to the north gate, so there should have been servants there too. Reyna resisted the villains fiercely.”
And Brody quickly added.
“Ah… Those who saw the carriage probably saw it all. Reyna… a woman in a dress was kidnapped and taken away in a carriage! There might be someone who saw it from outside too.”
Lady Hujak frowned, biting her lips.
Brody felt a chill down his spine.
What will happen to me if I’m the only witness?
Lord Hujak glanced at Arthur.
“…You’re really… impressive.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
Lord Hujak’s gaze shifted from Arthur, who Brody had brought, to the red fox being carried by the servants.
The red fox was an intelligent creature that Lady Hujak had never succeeded in hunting. It met its demise with a single shot from Arthur.
Until the fox fell with a thud, Lady Hujak hadn’t even noticed it.
Arthur raised his bow with a nonchalant expression.
“The bow you prepared for me is excellent. It’s enjoyable.”
“….”
Lord Hujak looked down at the crossbow in his hands with a melancholy expression.
…Is it the difference in weapons?
Lord Hujak had a crossbow with bolts, while Arthur used a bow.
Sensing Lord Hujak’s gaze on his weapon, Arthur, raising his bow halfway, asked.
“…Would you like to try pulling it?”
Lord Hujak didn’t show arrogance.
“Never mind. Who are you trying to tease?”
Even Lord Hujak knew he didn’t have the strength to pull such a strong bow.
“If you like that bow, I’ll give it to you. Take it. You’ll use it more effectively than me.”
Arthur chuckled.
“Thank you.”
Lord Hujak grumbled silently.
Something like… pulling a crossbow next to someone pulling a bow seems awkward.
Arthur didn’t miss the hint of discomfort as Lord Hujak held his crossbow, and he raised his bow.
“…Shall I pull it for you?”
Lord Hujak didn’t show resistance.
“Fine. What’s there to joke about.”
Lord Hujak was aware that he didn’t have the strength to pull such a bow.
“If you like the bow, take it. You seem more useful with it than me.”
Arthur smirked.
“Thank you.”
Lord Hujak muttered without words.
It’s somewhat embarrassing…
Though his pride was hurt, he did have a remarkable story to tell, having gone hunting with Arthur and participating in the chase.
He also felt a growing sense of familiarity with Arthur.
That’s enough.
“….”
Arthur’s gaze fixed somewhere.
Lord Hujak followed Arthur’s gaze, wondering what he was going to shoot.
A knight was riding towards them.
The horse stopped in front of them.
“Your Excellency.”
Lord Hujak and Commander-in-Chief Your Excellency.
Both Excellencies turned their gaze in that direction.
The knight spoke to Arthur.
“There’s an issue at the mansion. It seems you need to go back and check.”

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
