Chapter 124.1

However, the words that came out of the maid’s mouth again were the same as those just heard.

“It is forbidden to treat him until Karion repents and apologizes…”

Lydia felt her eyes turn white in an instant and got up to go pick up the doctor herself. However, Karion, who noticed Lydia’s intentions, grabbed her arm and forced her to sit down.

Looking into Lydia’s eyes, he shook his head. His request, even if unspoken, was so obvious that Lydia couldn’t even remove her hand.

‘But…’

Lydia’s pupils widened sharply. Here she slowly examined his swollen eyes and lips. Karion was still holding onto her ribs. From the way he was breathing heavily, the wound was more serious than it looked.

What can I do, I can’t just leave it like this. A person passed by Lydia’s head while chewing on her lips.

Yurina looked at Betsy as she served tea with a worried face.

‘You can take a break.’

Upon her awakening the next day, Betsy’s face was pale, like that of a patient with a fever. The reddish lips also faded a little and turned purple.

Carthia’s doctor, who examined Betsy, said there was nothing wrong with her health, and Reynard also told her not to worry as there was no sign of black magic in her.

‘Even if they tell me not to worry…’

Yurina involuntarily tried to sigh, but covered her mouth while watching Betsy. She wanted her to see the doctor and get some rest for a few days, but Betsy refused to do so, so she couldn’t force it any further.

‘I’m glad that Tony’s illness had nothing to do with Marquis De Flon.’

When they got back to Betsy’s house, Reynard checked everything over again, wondering if he might have missed something. However, there was no trace of black magic anywhere.

That said, it was said that this wasn’t planned from the beginning, but was concocted belatedly by Marquis De Flon, who obtained information that Betsy went on vacation.

‘Well, it would be foolish to play tricks on Tony when he was found out about the hunting competition.’

So Marquis De Flon would have held her breath a little longer and waited for the opportunity to come. Opportunities like this are rare, so I would have been more prepared.

So this time, Reynard and Yurina were relieved that Tony didn’t get sick due to black magic.

“I’m sorry, Betsy.”

As soon as Yurina spat it out, the flow of tea from the teapot stopped. Betsy froze, obviously surprised, and held out the cup with her left hand. The handle of the cup, as usual, turned to Yurina’s right.

“Why are you apologizing, lady?”

“I just think you had to go through all this because of me.”

Fortunately, Betsy didn’t spend long in the hands of Marquis De Flon and immediately returned home. But Yurina didn’t even want to think about what might have happened if they weren’t lucky.

‘However, we can not say that we were lucky.’

Betsy had already been kidnapped by them once.

According to the stories of Betsy and the knights who were found stunned near Tony’s house, the attack happened in broad daylight and happened in an instant.

The two knights escorting Betsy’s carriage lost consciousness, but didn’t sense that anyone was approaching or waiting for them.

Betsy felt strange when she heard the neighing of the horses, tried to contact Yurina using the artifacts, but didn’t make it in time and passed out.

‘You said you couldn’t remember exactly what happened.’

No one knew what happened after that. Did Yurina suspect that Karion attacked the wizard who kidnapped Betsy and brought her back? Or maybe it was Karion himself who attacked the carriage in the first place.

Not knowing that Karion was still on her side, and having met the warlock in her own home,  it seemed that she was quite confident in this plan.

Thanks to Reynard,  she hadn’t been kidnapped by the warlock, but if she hadn’t found Betsy, Yurina might have gone crazy to find Betsy without even having a proper plan.

She was glad it all worked out. She was scared, but now that they’ve caught one warlock, there is no doubt that Marquis De Flon is a warlock.

But still doubts remain.

‘Why did Karion bring Betsy home?’

She wondered if it was Lydia, but he replied that Lydia didn’t know about this. To say that it was another plan of Marquis De Flon, but that plan was ruined by Betsy’s return. From her point of view, it would have been much better for Betsy not to come into her hands.

‘Then why…’

She was thinking for a while when she heard a knock.

“What’s the matter?”

The young servant entered and bowed.

“Milady, Lady De Flon has come to visit.”

For a moment, Yurina doubted her ears. Given the circumstances, her visit might not have been welcome. Moreover, coming without an invitation was a step that the nobles wouldn’t have dared to take.

‘Do you really think we’re close enough to come without an appointment?’

No way.

“And why does she ask to see me?”

“She said she has a request for you, my lady.”

“A request?”

What kind of trick is this again? No matter how much she thought about it, Yurina waved her hand without hesitation.

“Tell her I’m meeting with another important guest right now. Tell her to come later.”

“All right.”

However, the servant soon returned to Yurina again. Unlike before, he has an embarrassing face.
