While Owen stopped by Sophia, the maids of the west side palace were nervous about the news.
“Then the woman at that time really…?”
“Yeah, they’re going crazy that she’s gone now. Would you have imagined that a woman would be staying in the Duchy?”
“Ah, I heard His Grace kept her hidden and saved it quite a bit. If he knows we kicked her out…”
Then one of the maids said firmly. She was the one who told me to let Dana out most actively.
“We’re just following Sophia’s words. How can you go against the orders from the top?”
She tried to put off the responsibility, subtly putting aside the fact that Sophia was not of a complete mind. Other maids knew, but they actively agreed whether they knew that was the only way to live.
“Right! We just followed orders. At that time, if something happened to Sophia with her excitement, it would have been even worse.”
“In addition, the soldiers sent her out themselves, right?”
Quiver-
The maids quickly became quiet when they saw Owen come out as his voice grew louder. They put their hands together neatly and bowed their heads. Frowning eyes came and went under him.
The visit of the other owner of the Palace, which Sophia had been looking for so much, was another interest to them.

[TW- Sexual Assault]
Wearing a colorful dress that she had never dreamed of in her life, Mary’s hands were tied to the bedpost.
Rian bit a cigarette and sat naked next to the bed. Mary flinched in fear as he came closer.
“Now, Mary. Say it again. Yeah, if you do well from the beginning, you can move on quickly.”
Rian spoke in a friendly voice and stroked her knees to her thighs with his hands. The skin under the skirt that went up was swollen red at first glance.
“I… I… Dana Deniz… It’s Zi… Black, delegate all powers… entrusted to… I did. In addition…”
Mary said what she had memorized and looked at Rian. Rian nodded as if to try more.
“… Oh, next is… So… Oh… Argh…!
When Mary stuttered, Rian put his hand into her groin, grabbed her pubic hair mercilessly, and squeezed it.
Shivering with pain, Mary sobbed silently. After pulling out the strands between his fingers, he glanced at Mary crying.
He didn’t think they looked very much alike, but those blonde and blue eyes reminded him of Dana anyway.
“It’s not that difficult. I’m not sure if it’s because of your shallow blood, but your brain is bad. Dana wasn’t a noblewoman, but she wasn’t this horrible.”
He was naturally relieving the stress of his daily life of pretending to be a good person and respecting his father-in-law the Duke, and his wife.
Although he had never treated the real Dana as harshly as her, he felt the same pleasure as in those days, harassing a woman who looked like her.
“Open it.”
Rian approached Mary closely and briefly ordered. Mary turned her head, spreading her thighs on her own in tears.
The inside of her thighs were all red, and Rian rubbed his pen*s over her swollen clitoris in her entrance.
“Uh… Uh…”
Mary shook her head as pain and unwanted pleasure alternated. Her body reacted faithfully to continuous stimuli.
“Dirty girl, she’s so cheap in the midst of this. Listen, if you mess up that day, you won’t be able to die and you’ll live as a bitch for the rest of your life.”
“Oh, no, no… Oh…!”
The soft desire was helplessly crushed as he penetrated her. There was no way to do anything about it because her wrists were tied. She had been beaten by him so much, she didn’t know how many times.
I shouldn’t have accepted things in the first place.
She thought it was strange, but she suddenly accepted it because it offered such a large amount of money. But now she couldn’t even quit as she wished.
“Keut…!”
Rian bumped roughly several times and quickly trembled again. Mary was exhausted and collapsed.
[TW- the scene has ended. Rian was teaching her how to introduce herself. And other information with SA]
Knock, knock, knock.
“Sir, please come out for a moment.”
At the sound of the voice outside, Rian stood up and dressed. Then he went outside without even paying attention to Mary.
The room used to be used when Dana was at the shop, and now that Dana was away, only Rian often came in and out.
Some people at the shop knew what was going on in the room, but they didn’t care much and didn’t go near the room.
When Mary came to her senses, it was a quiet night everywhere. Her whole body hurt so much, including between her legs.
I was fooled. It was meant to be like this from the beginning!
Mary, shaking in despair, suddenly found out that the cloth wrapped around her wrist had become quite loose.
She twisted her wrist around, paying attention to the footsteps outside the door. Perhaps due to Rian’s clumsy tying, soon Mary succeeded in pulling both hands out through the loose knot.
Mary knew that there was a secret door in this room. It was because when she pretended to have fallen asleep the day before yesterday, she saw Rian escape through there.
Contrary to her nervous mind, Mary escaped the room very easily and ran as far away as possible without looking back.
It was the next morning when Rian found out that she was missing.
“Come here, now!”
His carelessness was the biggest reason, but Rian shouted and brushed the people at the merchant group.
In his shamelessness, Harbert spat out swear words, and in any case, gathered the servants from the shop and ordered them.
“Blonde hair and blue eyes. She wouldn’t have gone far. She is a woman who knows our secrets, so bring her quietly without making a fuss.”
The servants received only two clues. Naturally, he did not tell them who she was and what to look for. They grumbled inside at the absurd instructions but went outside for now.
Both Harbert, servants, and employees were ordered like commoners, but their subordinate love for money was as strong as their difference in status.
