Leon lightly grabbed Dana’s body and turned around.

Dana made eye contact with Leon, who suddenly looked at her, and she dropped her gaze again. She was distressed.

While vowing to take her revenge, she was ashamed to see herself moaning in pleasure in Leon’s arms. It made her seem weak.

Before she could even think straight, her body was lifted. The cold glass pressed against her back, and a familiar, blunt thing rubbed against her damp entrance.

“Oh… Umm… Umm… Hah!”

Leaning against the glass like that, caused it to shake for a while. By the time the pattern on the ceiling was blurred and the sound went dim, she was taken to the bed.

Even on the bed, they continued their lovemaking for a long time.

It didn’t end until she was so drained she couldn’t even lift a hand.

Dana did not give up her stubbornness until the end even though it was unclear to her.

“Leon… I… Let me do it…”

“Stop being stubborn and go to sleep. You can’t even open your eyes.”

Dana did not agree but closed her eyes to the fatigue that came.

He burned a light scent of sleep to sleep deeply.

Not long after she had fallen asleep, Leon called in the maids and told them to be careful not to wake her up as he prepared to go out.

Leon leaned against the wall waiting for Dana, who had been taken to the bathroom. A dark and gloomy expression rose from his lowered gaze.

Revenge against Rian was natural. He was going to crush him thoroughly. It wasn’t like he didn’t understand that Dana wanted to take revenge herself.

However, Leon had greater plans.

I can’t believe she’s really thinking of seeing him again.

Whatever the reason was, the very thought of Dana being with Rian made the blood rush to his head. In addition, because Rian had sought Dana’s life in the past, she could have been in danger again. That was something Leon didn’t want to happen at all.

However, from her reaction, it seemed that Dana would not stay still just because Leon stopped her.

So, to stop Dana from encountering Rian at all, Leon planned to send Dana to the Tertius territory.

I need to send her out immediately.

When Dana woke up, she was in the carriage. As the wagon was crossing the mountain path, it rattled on the stone road and woke her up.

“This is… What the… Where is this?”

She was yet to grasp her current situation, so she stared blankly, and when she learned that this was a carriage, she opened the window in surprise.

“Hey there! Ahil!”

Dana called Ahil who was escorting on a horse next to the carriage. Ahil then immediately stopped the carriage.

“Are you up? In about three more hours, you’ll find Tertius Castle.”

“The castle of Tertius? Are we going back now? What about the Grand Duke?”

Ahil calmly answered a series of questions.

“Yes, we are on our way back now under the order of His Highness. The Grand Duke will come as soon as his work is done in the capital.”

Dana didn’t understand at all. No matter how tired she was, she couldn’t believe that she didn’t wake up at all while coming this far.

And it was obvious, that Leon intended to move her while she was asleep.

I didn’t mean to be so reckless…

As expected, it was clear that he hated Dana’s contact with Rian. Of course, if she was hiding behind Leon, she might be able to achieve revenge without lifting a finger.

But what’s the point of that? Besides, there’s something I have to find. I’m the only one who knows where it is. He hasn’t found it yet, right?

“Can we go now?”

Ahil politely asked the question, and Dana thought for a moment and spoke out shyly. It was something that couldn’t be treated recklessly.

“Wait… I want to get off.”

“What’s wrong with you? Your Highness wouldn’t allow you to get off…”

Ahil didn’t welcome Dana to get off as expected. However, Dana deliberately lowered her gaze and spoke.

“I’m in a hurry… It’ll only take a second.”

At this point, Ahil, although unaware of her true intentions, understood the sign. As expected, Ahil got off the horse and opened the door of the carriage with an awkward expression on his face.

“We will check our surroundings first. Please get off and wait a moment.”

Ahil released knights and soldiers around him to see if there were any suspicious people or mountain animals. When he judged it to be completely safe, he called Dana again.

“You can go this way. We’ll be around you, so be safe and come back.”

“Please… Don’t look back.”

“Of course.”

Dana grabbed her skirt gently and went into the bushes in the direction that Ahil had shown her. She wasn’t actually in a hurry to do business, she needed time to catch her breath and think before going to the castle like this.

If I go to the castle, they won’t let me go out at all.

That said, she didn’t even know what to do. Running away? There was no way to do that if she didn’t even know where she was.

“Where am I? Am I halfway there?”

Dana went deeper to look around a little more. Although there was still time left until evening, the forested mountains were not very bright.

“Don’t go too far”.

Ahil shouted without looking her way.

Dana was about to glance at Ahil when she found something, she stepped back in surprise and couldn’t scream.

Her eyes met with a snake hiding in the grass.

“… S… Snake.”

Dana couldn’t even look properly and stepped back, and something touched her heel.

“Ah…”

As it was, she slipped. She expected to fall on her butt, but she hit the ground later than she had expected.

This was because it was a steep slope behind her. To make matters worse, Dana tumbled down the mountain without stopping or getting caught by her skirt.

She somehow tried to protect her head with her arms, but she blacked out after falling into a deep pit.
