Chapter 82

Chapter 82

Clicking her tongue, Carynne decided on her answer. She hoped that what shed say would sound normal.

Sir Raymond, as I said last time, I continue to live again and again. Thats what I believe.

Ah Yes

Raymond answered begrudgingly, and as Carynne observed his face, she asked.

Tell me honestly, what are you thinking about?

I wouldnt have decided to hold your hand if I knew you were crazy.

Oh my, thats a bit regrettable.

She thought that this was how it would have also been in the past anyway. Contrary to what others thought, Carynne knew that Raymond was coldhearted. Raymond was warm and kind only to Carynne. And flipping that supposition over, it could be said that Raymond acted coy only to Carynne.

She thought that torturing Dullan would be the easiest way to get a hint. However, Dullan would protect himself, and Raymond wouldnt move according to her wishes. Apart from all that, Carynne wasnt sure what kinds of threats would work against Dullan, who already showed that he thought little of death.

Carynne.

Yes.

Please tell me.

Sir Raymond, in my repeated past lives, weve married each other many times.

Um, yes

Time and again, you told me you loved me and told me that youd remember me. But that promise has yet to be fulfilled, not even once.

I see.

Raymond clenched his hands into fists. Suppressed laughter could be seen in his expression. If Carynne hadnt done such a thing at the Hare mansion before, Raymond would have laughed out loud at this point.

Thats what he did in the past. He laughed, then he kissed her, saying that he would love her again. But if she looked at him now, oh, she wondered.

Carynne sighed.

I expected you to react like that, so Ive been thinking.

What are you talking about?

I knew youd look at me like that. Im not crazy, okay?

He continued to have a look that said, How should I respond to that? Raymond, too, let out a sigh.

Alright.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

What exactly are you alright with?

As I said, I dont like complicated things. And Im not willing to break my promise either.

Carynne answered vacantly. He was handling this as a soldier would.

Efficient. Thats good.

So then, please gamble against Baron Ein again and make another bet. Your maid was shaking when I found her. Definitely and thoroughly crush him in a game so that no one could dispute the outcome.

My back is still

Use my money.

Then, Raymond took out a pouch. Its weight sank down on Carynnes bed. Staring at the pouch full of gold coins, Carynne commented.

This is your salary for one whole year, Sir Raymond.

This money was quite literally earned through blood and sweat. It was a small sum compared to what hed earn as a member of the Assembly in the future, but it was quite a shame to spend this much, especially as he had just recently paid Verdic back.

Behind her fan, Countess Elva smirked and threw sarcasm at the man. After she had been robbed of a fortune by Baron Ein before, seeing him be so helpless like this was just too funny to her.

Ridiculous! Everyone Everyone saw, right? Isnt this absolutely impossible?!

Its quite amazing, really

How did she do that?

She really does take after her mother.

She definitely cheated.

Honestly, since she didnt even look at the card

Gosh, was she too drunk on her victory? Carynne shrugged and looked for Raymond. Everyone else didnt matter anymore. Carynne won the wager. And now, she would receive her prize: Raymonds trust.

However, with all these people around her, she couldnt find him.

How the hell did she do that?

Carynne? Lady Catherines daughter?

After that, one time with me

An excited crowd closed in on Carynne, who in turn became suffocated by so many people.

T-This is impossible. Impossible!

As Baron Ein continued to shout, he looked entirely pathetic, nobody paid attention to him. Win or lose, Carynne was the one in the spotlight here.

Everyone welcomed her victory. After all, it was an interesting story to tell. Carynne greeted people here and there as she was passed off to one person and another. In the end, she was only able to relax after Raymond swooped in to save her from that place.

And, Raymond promised to believe her.

This was the prize.

* * *

Pack up. You dont have to be shackled to Mister Verdic anymore.

Are you completely turning your back on him now?

Yes. I have to take responsibility for you now, too.

Its like were two lovers eloping.

I suppose so.

Carynne laughed. And, she had no luggage. Her belongings here were all Verdics anyway. Only the maids packed their bags.

Lets go. Right now Mister Verdic and I have really become enemies, he added.

Carynne took Raymonds hand. For a moment, he was surprised by this, but he soon wrapped his hand over Carynnes. Then, she deliberately turned his head to glare at the Evans mansion.

Verdic was looking down at them from behind one window. By the looks of his face, he was positively seething. She wondered if shed see Dullan, but he was nowhere to be found.

Would Raymond be able to give her true love?

She didnt know. But for Carynne, that was now important. At the very least, shed have to mimic it so that Dullan would acknowledge it.

Raymonds hand was warm. She quite liked this. He was still Carynnes knight, and he rescued her from Verdic.

Everyone was under the impression that Raymond was in love with Carynne. Sooner or later, Dullan would think so, too.
