“I don’t end anything moderately. Neither when correcting a mistake, nor when holding a woman.”
April couldn’t breathe for a while because the sharp gaze seemed as if it would cut her throat at any moment.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Mia, who had been knitting by the window, was startled to see someone entering her garden in the dark evening.
On closer inspection, it was Adel, and her staggering walk and pale face seemed unusual.
“Adel! What happened?”
She threw her knitting aside and hurried outside.
“Can I see Baron Bonita?”
Adel’s hand was as cold as ice, and she seemed out of her mind somehow.
“Come inside first. What happened at the palace?”
“A little……”
After bringing Adel inside, Mia quickly asked the maid to bring some warm milk tea, and sat down by the fireplace, rubbing both hands.
Adel’s hands continued to tremble in Mia’s hands.
“Are you all right, Mrs. Oswald?”
Hearing the commotion, Baron Bonita, who had been in the study, came out too.
Mia’s husband, Baron Bonita, was a chubby, goodnatured man. Despite the considerable age difference between him and Mia, he was known as a loving husband in the village. Sadly, they had no children yet.
“I’m sorry for coming so late. I have something to ask you, Baron.”
He was in charge of palace document circulation, so he was wellinformed about the palace.
“To me?”
“I heard that a palace guard was attacked by a beast recently. I want to know what the corpse was like. And about the silver wolf as well.”
Baron Bonita was taken aback. Many were curious and whispering about that strange event.
But Adel’s face wasn’t curious; it was desperate. As if she had something to do with the incident.
“Well, that’s not my responsibility.”
“Can you introduce me to the coroner then?”
“That would be difficult. The emperor ordered that this matter not be made public. Especially regarding the silver wolf, there’s an embargo.”
“Why……”
“There’s no good to come of ominous rumors in the palace. And a silver wolf? Isn’t that an absurd story?”
“It exists! The silver wolf does!”
Adel, who had been trembling pale, shouted with conviction.
“Did you see it?”
“Not that, but……”
In fact, Adel had only heard rumors, and had not seen the silver wolf.
“Then it doesn’t exist. If we leave this rumor alone, soon there will be golden wolves and rainbow wolves as well. Rumors are like that, ma’am.”
Mia, who had been anxiously watching, handed over steaming milk tea.
“Come on, Adel, calm down and have some warm tea first.”
But Adel pleaded again with Baron Bonita with a desperate face.
“Then please confirm one thing. How many claw marks were on the corpse?”
“Claw marks?”
“Yes, if it was attacked by a wolf or leopard, there should be four claw marks. But if there are five, that’s strange.”
Adel remembered it very clearly. The five distinct claw marks imprinted on the body of her mother, who had returned a gruesome corpse!
People in the village also thought that was the strangest thing. If it was a beast with five claws, it was likely to be a bear, but there were no bears in the northern part of Kalaim. So they said that the strangelooking silver wolf might have five claws.
“I understand. I’ll ask the coroner.”
“Thank you.”
Only then did Adel take a sip of the milk tea handed by Mia. But it hurt as if her throat was burning, and it was hard to swallow.
Certainly, here is the translation for the provided passage:
“Let’s have a meal before going.”
Mia was worried about such Adel. Her pale face clearly seemed to indicate something unusual had happened.
“No, I need to go and check the house, I left it in a mess.”
“Are you really okay?”
“Yeah, I’ve been to the palace and I’m tired, so I need to rest early. The tea was good.”
Adel smiled and greeted the Bonita couple before turning away.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The distance from Mia’s house to Adel’s house was just a 5minute walk. But the way back home seemed too long and tiring.
With every breath, hot steam poured out, and her whole body shivered. Her physical condition was definitely not normal.
Maybe it’s because she was shocked too many times today.
The princess is pregnant with Christine’s child, the appearance of the silver wolf that killed her mother…
Bad things don’t come alone, they say, and that must be true.
But at least when she returns home, there won’t be any more bad things happening, so maybe that’s a good thing?
When she arrives, she’ll have to heat up the wine with cinnamon and fruit and drink it hot. She’d like it if she could sleep soundly and forget everything that happened today.
But Adel’s wish didn’t seem to come easily.
A tall man stood like a statue in front of the mansion, which was not even lit.
Even from a distance, the faint figure was enough for Adel to know who it was.
As she approached, the silvery hair reflected in the moonlight mysteriously shone. It seemed like something not of this world.
“Chris……”
“I’ve come to get what I want, Adel.”
Is this the finale of today’s bad things?
Adel took a deep breath and steeled herself.
Never show him a weak side. Don’t waver.
That way, her heart won’t get hurt.
“Come in.”
The empty house was dark and had no warmth. She had rushed out without caring for the fireplace, so even the embers were all out.
Adel quickly raised the wick of the lantern and lit the inside.
“You must have been really in a hurry. I didn’t expect you to rush here in a month’s time for a blank paper agreement.”
“There’s plenty of time.”
Disbelieving, Adel shook her head.
“You must want to marry the princess as soon as possible. You need that for the emperor to allow it.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Isn’t it? You were in such a hurry you couldn’t even wait for the wedding… The rumor has already spread throughout the palace.”
Adel tried to speak as calmly as possible, but somehow it sounded like she was scolding him, and she didn’t like it.
“The princess is pregnant with my child?”
Of course!
When those words came out of Christine’s mouth, it felt like she had been shot. Even though her head believed it, a part of her heart wanted to deny it.
