Chapter 146

Surely the first time of course.

Carynne went to Nancys room once again, which she had visited only a moment ago. Having kept her promise, its now time for her to do what she needed to do.

Oh, right. If I kill her this time, should I let her kill me again next time?

Turning the gun in her hand, Carynne mulled it over. In the end though, she shook her head. She had already died a lot before this, shes sure Nancy would let it slide.

Knock, knock.

It was different from when she had stricken the door loudly before. Now a little calmer, Carynne knocked on the door normally for a long time instead of pounding on it roughly. Knock, knock, knock, knock, until it would open. Quite some time later, the door slowly opened, and a murmur from inside leaked out.

Milady, its still dawn

Nancy opened the door, evidently irritated and tired. Then, she rubbed her eyes as she peered at Carynne. It was the same reaction as before. So, too, did she say the same thing.

Did you have a nightmare?

Yes, I had a nightmare. Actually, Im still in the middle of one. But now, I am going to experience a new morning. And youll have to help me.

Yes, can we go back to my room?

U-Um, Milady whats that?

Nancy asked with a shaky voice. Carynne found the maids question to be a little funny.

You know what. If you try screaming here, Ill shoot you in the face right away.

With a sweet smile upon her lips, Carynne shoved the pistols barrel at Nancys forehead. Nancy shut her mouth right then. Carynne brought a finger to her lips and slowly led the maid out of her room.

We have a lot to talk about, dont we?

The story that Nancy recounted, trembling voice and all, was just as Carynne had guessed beforehand.

Catherine introduced Nancy to Carynne, who had been constantly depressed as a child. Then, Nancy made her think that she was inside an illusory fairytale world.

Why?

She wanted you to experience something new, not just get pregnant and have a child. I guess the Madam wanted you to live a more pure and more beautiful life.

Her mother seemed to have spoken more frankly and in more detail to someone who wasnt her father. Carynne chewed her lower lip and said,

I dont understand.

Carynne mumbled as she fiddled with the gun. She couldnt understand it herself. Why did her mother urge her to take this path that repeats over and over again? Why did she make it like that? In Carynnes eyes, what Catherine had done to her was of no regard to her at all.

But at that time, Milady, you had already heard the story, and you were extremely anxious and depressed.

So the only things Ill do in my life is get pregnant, give birth and then die? Thats it?

Dont do anything strange to my body anymore.

Carynne was sick and tired of it all. Shes sick of this darkness, sick of trying fumble her way through the abyss just to find the truth.

I havent completely regained my memories, but some fragments keep coming back to me from time to time.

Instead of waiting more, wouldnt they come back faster with my help?

If anything at all could help, should she just get whatever she could from Nancy? She could die as soon as possible now anyway.

I still wont release you though.

But that really wont work, Milady.

Why should I believe you?

Nancy pondered for a moment, then soon gave out a suggestion.

You can give me more money.

The nerve of you.

As if Carynnes words were the signal, it seemed like Nancy was henceforth determined to act shamelessly. She conveyed her true feelings and spoke clearly.

My only motivation is money. If you give me more money than His Lordship, I will cooperate with you completely.

That sounded plausible.

Carynne knew that Nancy had itchy fingers somewhat. In her own way, Nancy was efficient with both her work and her bad habit, but because the latter outweighed the former, she couldnt stay long wherever she worked and tended to get kicked out before long. Furthermore, her bad habit couldnt totally be covered up by her hypnosis, thats why Nancy would just cram anything she wanted into her pocket.

Now that Carynne thought about it, was it perhaps because House Hare needed Nancys hypnosis that theyd been turning a blind eye to her actions all this time?

You stole Isellas necklace, too, huh.

Why didnt I ever suspect Nancy, Carynne thought. That day, when Isella had a tantrum, the girl had slapped Nancy, too.

Whos Isella?

She hadnt appeared yet? Carynne ignored Nancys recent question and answered another one.

Fine, Ill give you ten silver coins first.

Nancys eyes went wide. Ten silver coins was her salary for three whole months.

How will you pay that, Milady?

I stole Dads key.

I couldnt do that either, so how

If you succeed in this, youll get ten gold coins in the end.

Hearing this, Nancys gaze burned with a strong, fiery determination.

The contract was thus established.
