212 [212]

Karen imagined Isella agonizing over her telegram.

Karen's postscript attracted Isella's interest, but it was a bit weak to say that she would do such an absurd thing. And no matter how much he paid, Isela did not nod and was sure to suspect more.

But Karen knows the past Isela.

I remember Isela's worries that she had confided to. I know Isela from the time when she had a similar relationship with a friend.

So Karen quickly added a sentence to the troubled Isela.

"Help me run away from home.

It was a request she made to herself in the past.

Isela was overwhelmed by the control of Berdick Evans.

Of course, he would have known his affection for giving good things. I can't help knowing. I know what I do is a deviation. I know, but the time comes when I can't control my urge.

The heart of wanting to run out at any moment. I'm not trying to give up my affection, but I want to see a different world even though I know it. I couldn't give up the scenery that was going to see.

Isela knows that she knows that she is immature and full, so she knows that she has to press it hard and explode someday.

"I feel so stuffy because my husband won't let me take a step out.

"They won't let me go out for the next five years.

And Karen's prediction was right.

I swear Isela wasn't a sympathetic person.

However, the appeal for freedom, and the message that anyone in his age, who is comfortable, rich and loving, barely sends by telegraph without his husband's knowledge, shook Isela's heart.

If he married Raymond, he'd be worse than that. If Raymond wanted to treat his married wife that way.

Isela called Zion while reading the message.

"Lord Zion, let me ask you a question. Do you like Lord Raymond or me?"

"You don't have to ask."

Zion smiled softly and bowed to Isela.

Isela tore a note and laughed.

"Then let's go hit Lord Raymond in the back of the head."

I'm sure it'll be a pretty funny thing.

***

Zion glanced at the window.

Karen pretends to go on a hunger strike, shakes Raymond, and Zion visits then to turn his attention away. And in the meantime, Isela was planning to pull Karen out. But Zion was a little nervous.

Raymond was always a person who understood the situation naturally and never let go of his nerves without consciousness. He would easily notice who was walking and who was lying without making any effort.

Can we make it?’

However, when I visited Raymond in person, I was filled with confidence that I could succeed.

'I think we can make it.’

"So Karen told me... Isn't this just too much? I can't sleep without her."

"Oh, yes."

I tried to hide it somehow, but my eyes were reddish and my voice was full of tiredness. And the subject of the conversation kept hovering around his wife. Raymond, who had never seen before, looked very easy.

Zion tried to coax Raymond out of fear, but Raymond continued to be stubborn about Karen, contrary to what seemed like a pushover.

"I'm thinking about five years from now. That's when the baby's born and the crisis is over."

"Five years. . . . .may an accident explode if you oppress your wife like that?"

For example, now.

Zion walked slowly around the table where Raymond sat. Go to the window and see the carriage moving little by little. The sound, of course, is not heard at all. It was fine.

"Lord Zion, try not to give too much advice to other people's family affairs. Who dares to advise a married man when he hasn't get married?"

Raymond had no idea and was passionately talking to Zion about the importance of marriage and the safety of pregnant women. Zion refuted Raymond appropriately and did not doubt his success.

At first, it was a little burdensome to deceive Raymond, who had been beholden to him in many ways, but when I saw that Raymond was tightly blocked, I felt less guilty.

"He said he was supposed to follow his wife.’

Raymond is now missing the important truth by repeated luck.

Zion wanted to teach him the virtue of his husband, the joy of obeying his wife. If Raymond knows nothing else, isn't he as good as Zion about women? Zion believed so and was not suspicious.

"It seems like the conversation keeps getting out of the way.”

"…oh, haha."

Xion quickly pulled out of the window frame.

Raymond sighed and took a sip of the tea.

"Lord Zion, are you really bored?"

"I wonder how Lord Raymond is doing, and... Oh, I sent what you said last time to the baroness's family, Haier's mansion."

Raymond had previously commissioned Zion to use strange tools, minerals and herbs. This is because even though Zion is not directly involved in Evans' business, it is not difficult to find it by using a small stretch of network. Raymond nodded at Zion's words.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

"But didn't I say thank you for sending me the goods before?"

Sion knew for a moment that he had made a mistake by talking around.

"I did, but I don't think I've been well appreciated since, so I was wondering if there's anything to fall….”

"You've definitely sent 30 diamonds in the future. Why do you keep saying that from the beginning?.”

“…….”

"Lord Zion."

Raymond looked at Zion with a suspicious look.

"Well, I miss my old comrade these days because I've been hanging out with her. Lord Raymond is married, and I'm here to see if you're bored."

"Ha…. Hey, you."

"I'll be on my way then."

Zion ran back quickly.

No matter who looked at it, there was no choice but to doubt it.

Xion kicked his tongue at his mistake. I shouldn't have had a stupid conversation with Raymond when I first saw him go blank.

"…James."

"Yes, my lord."

"I'm going to Karen's room right now."

"You're not going to see Lord Zion off?”

However, Raymond no longer responded, but stepped up and moved quickly to the front of Karen's sit-in. At a quick walk, the old butler ran away panting.

knock, knock

"Carran."

"I remember your anger hasn't gone away yet."

Raymond knocked on the door without answering back.

knock, knock

“…….”

"…Master, it's late at night….”

Bang!

Raymond raised his hand as if to knock and smashed the door. James roared when he saw a hole in a solid door made of walnut trees.

"Master! This will surprise you...!”

But there was no one in the room.

In addition, it was a mess as if it had been a mess.

And there was a note on the bed.

Dear Raymond.

I'll send the bill home.

Karen

"…the wagon's leaving now!"

"Xion?"

"Right now!"

The carriage set off quickly.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Nancy screamed in the rattling carriage as she moved in a hurry. Karen tried to cover Nancy's mouth, but it was so dark that she couldn't see it. The carriage rattled like mad. Nancy's scream and the rattling noise of the carriage leaving in a hurry could be heard talking.

"I'm going as I said. All right?

"No problem. Let's get going."

Isela's voice was faintly heard from a distance and disappeared again.

Can we get away from Raymond?

Karen bit her lips in the dark, grabbing the handle in the carriage.

It's not easy to get pregnant.

I'm crazy! Dear Lord Raymond!

Zion started the carriage, cursing inwardly.

"I should have prepared more thoroughly...!’

The horses began to run.

The proper speed, safe and unquestionable speed should be calculated.

"Xion Electra!"

"Heez!"

It was a distance that ordinary people couldn't see and hear, but nervous Zion heard Raymond shouting in the mansion far away.

And the 'Hey, you bastard!' curse after that.

"Giddy up! Save me, boys!"

When the horses were whipped, they clattered down in the dark. It was a dark road, but fortunately, the road that had just been maintained stretched out straight, so it was not difficult to speed up.

in rapid succession

We must move quickly towards the village. Only then could Raymond get away with it. Four horses pulled the carriage mad. It is a light and strong carriage with the Icela family's pedigree. And Zion was good at driving wagons in the dark.

Zion drove the carriage with a proper whipping. You should not be so relaxed. In a hurry, in a hurry...Zion ran for a long time and turned his head.

"I won't stop right now!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

I should have not looked back.

Zion looked back and screamed.

This is because Raymond was chasing the back of the carriage with a devilish appearance. The eyes glowed like animals in the dark with brilliant green. Raymond's horse was running frantically. Raymond didn't run along a straight road like Zion, but he ran like a wild man.

Instead of soothing the horse, he was making it even more excited, and he seemed crazy himself.

"Sion, you son of a...!”

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Zion shouted.

Half were intended, but half were really horrified. It certainly wasn't a deathly fault, but the moment he met his eyes, he didn't seem to let himself live. Zion swung the whip hard.

Slap!

A whip whipped the horses' hips, but no matter how hard it was, they could not get away with the horse running alone. The distance between the two was gradually decreasing. But I can't give up. Zion shouted and calculated the distance. Maybe it will succeed as it is.

Bang!

"Mi, mi, mad...Lord Raymond! Kill me!

Raymond shot the gun. Zion shouted with astonishment.

But Raymond shouted back.

"I missed you! The carriage can't stop right now!"

"How can I stop Lord Raymond now that he's following me?"

"It's dangerous, you son of a gun! Slow down the carriage right now!

It's safe if you don't follow me!

Zion wanted to scream, but he trembled with fear as Raymond got closer and closer. Raymond seemed to regain his composure as he drew closer and closer and closer.

"If you don't slow down the carriage, you won't let it fall next time."

He turned calmly.

"I'll shoot the earlobes at first. I told you before, so don't turn over the carriage.”

"What, what?"

"If I move too much, I might make a mistake and miss it."

"…If you fall back slowly, I'll pull over the carriage….”

"Well thought."

At this point, he did his best.

Zion swallowed his saliva.

Slowed down slowly, calming down the excited horses. We were almost there before we knew it. Zion sighed.

When the carriage stopped completely, Raymond approached the door of the carriage. Opening the door of the carriage, Raymond sighed deeply. I'm scared to face Karen's face even after chasing her like that.

"Carran, I understand your feelings, but... You're so mischievous. Please don't do this again."

“…….”

"Now that we have enough walks, let's go back."

"…close the door."

Raymond almost fell down as his legs relaxed for a moment. His voice sounded strange.

No, no way... no way.

Take a deep breath and rub your eyes. It can't be. Why here?

"…Icella."

"Do you have anything else to say?" Lord Raymond. I'm very upset right now, so close the door."

What was in the carriage was not Karen, but Isella, who was very annoyed with her face. Raymond's face was distorted beyond description.

"No, that can't be... Definitely."

"I said close the door. What kind of violent behavior is this?"

"So, Karen....”

Raymond made an impression.

When an unexpected person came out, my head seemed empty. Raymond, however, frowned and swept through the carriage.

And I noticed that the inside of the carriage where Isela was sitting was narrower than it was seen from the outside. They are usually used separately, but they do not block the top like that. Raymond squinted his eyes.

"…may I search the carriage, Icela Evans. I think my wife is riding here."

"I just heard a gunshot. What the hell are you doing?"

"Who has a husband to let his wife run away?"

"You won't run away if you do well.”

"…please move aside. Or I'll force it."

"Lord Raymond, please apologize to Miss Isela."

Xion replied in a cold voice.

Raymond clenched his fist and opened it again. Then he sighed deeply and said again.

"I'd like to investigate whether my wife Karen Seyertes is in this carriage, Miss Icela Evans. We ask for your cooperation."

"You suddenly ran to surprise us and even shot us. Is there a reason why I should cooperate?"

Raymond tried to say that the bullet did not go near Zion and headed for the field, but he also felt shameful and stopped.

"Lord Zion rushed out, and my wife went missing. I don't think it's so strange to speculate that she might be in the carriage she left. I'd like to check the back of the carriage by opening it. It would be hard to be in a place like that during pregnancy."

"There's no one in the back of this carriage.”

"I want to check with my own eyes.”

Raymond was persistent, but Isela was also not easy. She never let go of Raymond during her countless repeated lives. In order to do so, it had to be forced by force. Raymond was running out of patience. But while it was getting more and more ugly, Zion stepped in.

"Lord Raymond, there's really nobody in here."

"Then why did you run away?"

"Because I'm coming after you."

"Open it for now."

"You know it's rude to say no, right? Of course, I understand Lord Raymond's situation. He really loves and cares about his wife."

Zion assuaged Raymond by adding a hasty retort before he lost his temper.

"But if you say it's not in here, and you're Goddess, you'll have to take responsibility."

"I don't think so.”

"Then open it."

"Xion."

Zion backed off slightly. Isela called for Zion, but Zion raised his palm and dried it. You have to push and pull each other appropriately. Isela tries to take more time, but if she tries to stop her further, the prank could lead to an accident.

"But Lord Raymond should be responsible."

with a rattle.

Raymond opened the door without answering.

***

Karen laughed out loud.

In a carriage far away.

There were two wagons from the start.
