The next time I woke up, I was tied to a chair and had cold water splashed on my face. They interrogated me. They asked what happened then."Why did the lion die?""Why are all those slaves dead, but you are still alive?""Damned! Whore, what did you end up doing?""Do you have some mysterious power? Babble! If you report honestly, you will be safe.""If you have some strong power, we can recruit you. When you work for us, you will enjoy special benefits. You want money to have money, and you want power to have power.""The dirty bitch! Don't blame us for being cruel if you refuse to cooperate.""You idiot! Stupid!""..."Because I used forbidden magic, my mind and body suffered severe consequences. On the outside, I looked healthy, but on the inside, I was destroyed. My mind was foggy, almost all the bones in my body were broken, and my internal organs were seriously damaged.However, my body is still regenerating because I have half an immortal heart.I'm often in a state of confusi

I recuperated for another half a month and still couldn't wait for Arthur. The person who came to see me was Dylan.I haven't seen him for a long time. He looks a lot different. Her hair was cut short and neat, and her skin became bronze brown, adding to the feeling of firm muscles. His body no longer had the gentle breath like before but instead had a vital breath like a soldier who had just returned from the battlefield."Lucinda, long time no see!" Even Dylan's voice became a bit more serious."Long time no see, you look very different." I smiled."Better or worse?" Dylan asked."It looks worse!" I teased him."Oh! Bad? I do not think so! Many girls are falling for these muscles!" Dylan said, showing off his muscular biceps."Not my taste!" I smile.The atmosphere between us became more cheerful."I heard stories about you. Are you Okay?" Dylan asked after me."I'm fine now!" I confirmed.I've gotten a lot better. The body was almost ninety percent regenerated.We talked for a whil

In the afternoon, Arthur asked me to come into his office to talk to him.We sat facing each other, a table apart. I felt the atmosphere was heavy and stuffy like I was in an interrogation room facing a police officer full of murderous intent.I thought, "Is what Arthur wants to tell me about me sleeping in his bed? How should I answer if he questions me about it? Damned! I don't know how to explain to him, and I also don't know why I'm lying in his bed."The temperature in the room was cold, but I was still sweating from stress.The first question Arthur asked me was, "Are you angry?"I was a bit stunned and then quickly denied it. I can't be angry when sitting facing a block of ice.I remained silent and bowed, waiting for Arthur to question me."I give you two options. One is to know all the secrets of the Douglas family, and you will have to stay here forever. The second is instant death."I had predicted this in my heart ever since I helped Arthur control his curse. So I wasn't s

Arthur was angry when he learned that I was assassinated by four of Rosabella's servants, but he couldn't do anything to Rosabella because her four servants took full responsibility. They did not let Rosabella get involved in the slightest.After that, Arthur, for my safety, took me to Ms. Irene's resort so that I could become Ms. Irene's caregiver.Meeting Ms.Irene again, I felt sorry for her when I saw her lying on the hospital bed. The last time I saw her, she was still healthy, walking with me on the white sand beach. Now, she can only lie in the hospital bed; a ventilator maintains her weak breathing. Her eyes were no longer clear, gloomy as if obscured by a mist.The doctors who examined her said there was no way to treat her. They advised the Douglas family to prepare mentally because she could die at any time.The resort announced its closure. This place has no guests and becomes strangely deserted and quiet.In the following days, many strangers visited Ms.Irene. I know they

Ms. Irene's funeral was solemnly held at Douglas Palace. According to the custom of the Douglas family, the dead will be cremated. After those rituals were completed, the funeral was still maintained because many guests had not yet come to pay their respects.Many people came to visit in the early days, and many stayed overnight. The palace servants were busy serving those strange guests.On the third day of the funeral, Rosabella again troubled me.Even though I am Arthur's servant, I have to do the same job as the other servants because there are not enough servants to serve the guests.I was still a little upset from my previous argument with Arthur, so I avoided him during this time. He was busy entertaining guests and didn't pay attention to me.I was caught by Rosabella while serving tea to the female guests. Rosabella was chatting with those guests. She took this opportunity to order me to do many things. Some examples are that she will ask me to get more sugar, then a few minu
