Lucas sighed but didn’t press further, knowing it was a lot to ask. Instead, he approached the cell and kicked the bars with his foot.
“Hey, Joseph Oser. Wake up. Sleeping now?”
Joseph, bound and dozing off, responded to the noise and raised his head.
“Little master?”
Then, spotting Rosette standing behind Lucas, his eyes widened.
“Little lady!”
He crawled towards Rosette on his knees. However, the chains binding his arms and legs prevented him from getting closer. Yet, he strained against the taut chains.
It had been ten days since Rosette had seen Joseph. In just those ten days, Joseph had become gaunt. The worry on his face undoubtedly was about his sister, Melody.
“My sister, Melody…”
Tears fell from Joseph’s eyes. He barely managed to speak through his cracked lips.
“Please save Melody.”
Over the past ten days, Duke Adrian scoured the mansion for other spies, eventually finding one.
The culprit was a servant helping in the kitchen.
Despite intense questioning, the servant remained silent. They discovered that he was the one who had poisoned the carriage, but the mastermind behind it and Melody’s whereabouts were still unknown.
Duke Adrian had promised Joseph, as a reward for changing his heart and helping him at the end, that he would save Melody.
However, as time went on, Joseph began to lose hope. He feared that the kidnappers would not have left Melody alone.
Moreover, Rosette, who had assured that Melody was alive, had been unconscious and unable to regain consciousness.
There was no glimmer of hope left. For the past ten days, Joseph felt as if he were living in a hell on earth.
But today, Rosette appeared before him.
Joseph rubbed his hands together in front of her.
“I’m begging you, please find Melody. If she’s dead, at least let us have a funeral for her.”
Lucas, feeling sorry for him yet mindful of Rosette’s condition, scolded him.
“Hey, why are you telling her that?”
“Didn’t you say that Melody is alive? Do you know something, lady?”
In truth, Rosette didn’t know anything specific.
However, considering Joseph’s continuous captivity in the Dallas household in her previous life, she deduced that Melody must have been alive until then.
If Melody had died, there would be no reason for Joseph to remain there.
Frankly, Joseph, though prominent in swordsmanship, was not significant enough to be kept hostage.
What did that imply?
‘There must be something about Melody.’
So she concluded that even now, after the plans had gone awry, the Duke of Dallas wouldn’t have killed Melody.
‘If we find Melody now…’
As Rosette was organizing her thoughts, a familiar yet stern voice of Duke Adrian echoed.
“Lucas, Rosette, what are you doing here?”
“Father!”
Lucas, momentarily startled, shrugged his shoulders but then grinned.
“I wanted to ask Joseph something.”
Duke Adrian’s demeanor became slightly fierce.
“That’s not for you kids to handle, it’s my responsibility.”
“But…!”
“So, you two go rest. And to bring a sick Rosette here…”
Duke Adrian signaled the knight who had brought them.
As the knight tried to take the children away, Lucas quickly shouted at Rosette.
“Hey, youngest! Do that thing again!”
“…?”
“Piak… I mean, Pippi speaking!”
Understanding Lucas’s request, Rosette infused mana into Pippi who had followed her. But having already expended a large amount of mana, Pippi could only utter fragmented words.
[Joseph Oser! Sister! Danger! Save! Hurry!]Joseph’s eyes widened.
“My sister, is she in danger?”
This time, Rosette voiced her own uncertainty.
“I don’t… know.”
“But just now…!”
“If we leave her… she’ll be used by Duke Dallas. Just like I was. Worn down emotionally, used only as a tool for killing.”
Rosette, unsure of what kind of child Melody was, knew she didn’t want that fate for her.
After gathering her thoughts, Rosette spoke firmly to Duke Adrian, ignoring the pain in her throat.
“We have to save Joseph Oser’s sister!”

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.
