Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
“What else could possibly be considered a sin if not failing to stop your master from walking a dangerous path and not even thinking to alert anyone nearby!”
Amy, unable to shake off Alicia clinging to her arm, lowered her raised hand and shouted toward Marisa, who had sunk to the floor, clutching one cheek.
As Amy said, those who served a master should always prioritize their master’s safety and act accordingly.
But what had Marisa done?
She had helped Alicia secretly slip out of the Imperial Palace without any guards and told no one.
And the result of that was precisely the bandage wrapped around Alicia’s wrist.
Amy didn’t know the exact details of what had happened, but merely imagining her master having been in danger somewhere beyond her knowledge made her blood run cold.
Gritting her teeth as she glared at Marisa, Amy continued.
“What would you have done if Her Highness had never returned!”
“I’m sorry.”
“What if Her Highness had been even more seriously injured!”
“I apologize, Mrs. Campbell.”
Marisa rose from the floor, composing herself, and offered her apology to Amy in a flat, even tone.
Perhaps it was because she couldn’t detect any remorse in Marisa’s demeanor that Amy, about to raise her voice again, fell silent upon seeing Marisa standing tall and facing her with unwavering composure.
She realized Marisa had something to say.

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
