The Erotic Painting's Heroine Strikes Back Chapter 8
"She told me that once I finished the paintings, I should take them to the bookshop to sell, and she'd reward me well. I'm just a painter. I paint what people pay me to paint. I didn't know what any of it was for, I swear it."The moment he'd been brought in, my mother had started backing away, her face drained of color. Her lips were moving, barely making a sound. "No, it wasn't me. I didn't do this. My lord, he's lying!"The painter reached into his money pouch and pulled out a banknote and a hairpin, holding both above his head. "My lord, I never spent the silver. And she gave me this pin as part of the payment. It can prove everything."I recognized that hairpin immediately. It was a rose pin, one my mother had worn for years. Now, it was sitting in a painter's outstretched hands.My mother sank into the nearest chair and sat there, unable to utter a single word.My father looked at her with pure disgust. He walked to the writing table, picked up the quill, and wrote without

"When I got inside and saw it was Yvonne, I understood. She was the one who sent for me. Now that things have come to this, we're already husband and wife. I'm willing to marry her and spend the rest of my life with her."Yvonne screamed. "I never sent for you. I'm not marrying you! I'm meant to marry into a good family. I would never marry someone like you."But her body was covered in red and purple marks, ambiguous bruises scattered across her skin. She had already been intimate with Samuel and had been caught in the act in front of everyone.If she refused to marry him, she would never be able to marry anyone else in her life.She crawled on her knees toward me. "Charlotte, please... I don't want to marry Samuel. I can't marry a poor scholar. I'll be your servant or whatever you want me to be. Just take me with you to the palace. Please."A laugh slipped out of me before I could stop it. "Yvonne, where does that confidence come from? The palace isn't a place you just wander in

The door to my bedroom was shut. The women crowded outside, and through the wood they could hear sounds coming from within that made every face in the corridor go red.My mother clenched her teeth. "In broad daylight. An absolute disgrace to this family."She drew herself up. "That wretched girl. I won't let this go unpunished. I'll strangle her myself."She pointed at the servants. "Break the door down."One of the manservants kicked it open. Inside, a man and a woman were entangled on the bed, their clothes completely removed.Some people immediately covered their faces, unable to look any longer. The more timid young ladies even let out frightened screams.My mother flew into a rage. "Charlotte Young! You have some nerve—how dare you commit such indecent, shameless acts! "Drag her out here. I'll kill her myself!""Who exactly are you dragging out, Mom?"The people in front of me spun around. I was standing at the back of the crowd, stretching on my toes to peer over their

Yvonne dropped to her knees in front of me, grabbing the hem of my skirt with both hands."Charlotte, please. I'm begging you. I have nowhere left to go. Just let me come with you to the palace. I swear I won't compete with you for his attention. I'll do whatever you say, I promise."Her voice cracked. "After what happened today, what decent family is going to take me? Please, just give me somewhere to stay. Besides, His Highness will take other women eventually. That's just how it is. Wouldn't you rather have someone you know beside you than a stranger?"I stepped back and pulled my skirt free from her grip."You don't need me to give you a place in this world. Mom will find you the best match she can. And if that doesn't work out, she'll take care of you for the rest of your life."I turned and walked away.The story of what happened at the royal ball spread through the capital like wildfire. It was all anyone in noble circles wanted to talk about.My mother had hoped to find

Every girl in the hall turned toward the doors.Benjamin walked in from outside, and the entire room dropped into a low bow or curtsy."Greetings, Your Highness."I was still on the floor, tears running freely down my face, looking utterly heartbroken.Benjamin reached down and helped me to my feet. He sighed and turned to address the room."I was attacked in the back garden a short while ago. Ms. Young threw herself in front of the threat to protect me, and the burns on her waist are the result of that. She saved my life."He stepped aside and nodded toward the woman behind him. "I had a court physician treat and bandage her wounds. She can tell you herself what she saw."The lady physician bowed, her voice clear and steady. "When I treated Ms. Young, there was no birthmark of any kind on her waist."Yvonne's eyes went wide. "That's impossible. She's lying. Charlotte must have bribed her."Benjamin's expression cooled. "She's a palace physician in royal service. Are you sayin

Yvonne pressed on. "Your Majesty, this matter is too serious to ignore. There must be an examination."An examination, right here in the middle of the royal ball and in front of everyone? She really wouldn't stop until she'd completely destroyed me.Eleanor studied me in silence for a moment. "Charlotte, can you explain yourself?"I shook my head. "Your Majesty, someone is deliberately trying to ruin my name."Eleanor nodded. "I believe you. The Duke of Northwatch runs a strict household. His daughter would not conduct herself this way."With those words, she'd made her position clear to everyone in the room. She was calling Yvonne a liar. Yvonne went pale. She turned to my mother. "Aunt Madeline, you're Charlotte's mother. You know the truth better than anyone. Tell them."My mother stepped forward. The look on her face was one of deep, sorrowful disappointment. "Charlotte, I'm your mother, but I can't help you cover this up. How could you do something like this?"Then she tu
