Leon lightly grabbed Danaâs 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 Leonâs 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.
âOh⊠Umm⊠Umm⊠Hah!â
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 didnât end until she was so drained she couldnât even lift a hand.
Dana did not give up her stubbornness until the end even though it was unclear to her.
âLeon⊠I⊠Let me do itâŠâ
âStop being stubborn and go to sleep. You canât even open your eyes.â
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 wasnât like he didnât understand that Dana wanted to take revenge herself.
However, Leon had greater plans.
I canât believe sheâs 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 Danaâs life in the past, she could have been in danger again. That was something Leon didnât 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.
âThis is⊠What the⊠Where is this?â
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.
âHey there! Ahil!â
Dana called Ahil who was escorting on a horse next to the carriage. Ahil then immediately stopped the carriage.
âAre you up? In about three more hours, youâll find Tertius Castle.â
âThe castle of Tertius? Are we going back now? What about the Grand Duke?â
Ahil calmly answered a series of questions.
âYes, 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.â
Dana didnât understand at all. No matter how tired she was, she couldnât believe that she didnât wake up at all while coming this far.
And it was obvious, that Leon intended to move her while she was asleep.
I didnât mean to be so recklessâŠ
As expected, it was clear that he hated Danaâs contact with Rian. Of course, if she was hiding behind Leon, she might be able to achieve revenge without lifting a finger.
But whatâs the point of that? Besides, thereâs something I have to find. Iâm the only one who knows where it is. He hasnât found it yet, right?
âCan we go now?â
Ahil politely asked the question, and Dana thought for a moment and spoke out shyly. It was something that couldnât be treated recklessly.
âWait⊠I want to get off.â
âWhatâs wrong with you? Your Highness wouldnât allow you to get offâŠâ
Ahil didnât welcome Dana to get off as expected. However, Dana deliberately lowered her gaze and spoke.
âIâm in a hurry⊠Itâll only take a second.â
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.
âWe will check our surroundings first. Please get off and wait a moment.â
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.
âYou can go this way. Weâll be around you, so be safe and come back.â
âPlease⊠Donât look back.â
âOf course.â
Dana grabbed her skirt gently and went into the bushes in the direction that Ahil had shown her. She wasnât 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 wonât let me go out at all.
That said, she didnât even know what to do. Running away? There was no way to do that if she didnât even know where she was.
âWhere am I? Am I halfway there?â
Dana went deeper to look around a little more. Although there was still time left until evening, the forested mountains were not very bright.
âDonât go too farâ.
Ahil shouted without looking her way.
Dana was about to glance at Ahil when she found something, she stepped back in surprise and couldnât scream.
Her eyes met with a snake hiding in the grass.
â⊠S⊠Snake.â
Dana couldnât even look properly and stepped back, and something touched her heel.
âAhâŠâ
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.
