Chapter 249

Translator: Yonnee

—

“We will soon arrive at the castle, Lord Jeremy.”

Reina did not respond to the knight’s voice from outside the carriage. Although her appearance was convincingly altered after she had transformed, her voice was not.

‘Fortunately, Jeremy is usually the quiet type.’

The mountain lodge couple had insisted on escorting Reina to her destination after she expressed her intention to leave late at night.

Feeling uncomfortable due to the inconvenience she had already caused, what more could she reject?

However, she couldn’t ask to be taken right to the elves, so she traveled with the mountain lodge couple as far as the front of the Venzen estate’s border.

As soon as they left, she activated ‘Bharan’s Shadow’ to impersonate Jeremy and donned the peasant clothes the couple had given her.

Fortunately, since Jeremy had deserted his family to follow his lover, the soldiers, knights, and even the guard captain who supposedly had met Jeremy up close, seemed to accept Reina’s appearance as plausible.

The only problem was…

“Lord Jeremy…! How could you leave us so heartlessly!”

…Those who poured out their resentment couldn’t receive a proper response from her.

Nevertheless, because the last farewell had been abrupt, everyone accepted Reina’s, or rather Jeremy’s, consistent silence.

‘Phew… At least I made it this far without getting caught.’

Now, the critical issue was Count Venzen.

‘I heard he adored his grandson terribly… What if my transformation isn’t perfect?’

The captain and knights might not have recognized any flaws since Jeremy was rarely seen by many, and moreover, it was the middle of the night when Reina appeared.

‘But it’s getting light.’

Would the same luck follow when ‘that’ grandson-loving Count Venzen meets the fake Jeremy under the bright sun?

‘No.’

Reina briefly furrowed her brow and then firmly suppressed the waves of worry crashing over her.

‘After all, there’s only one thing I can do.’

Perfectly impersonate Jeremy.

Yes, she was in control of nothing but her own body, so she must make the best use of it.

She decided to simplify the situation as always.

‘It’s either going to be a success or a failure.’

In a situation as uncertain as this, where the next step was unpredictable, maintaining composure was crucial.

With that resolve, the carriage finally stopped. The moment of truth had arrived.

Reina took several deep breaths.

‘Let’s do this well!’

But oddly, there was no fuss from outside to welcome Jeremy’s arrival.

Sensing something was amiss, she tentatively pushed the door open with her damp hands.

And then.

“……”

Between the slowly opening carriage doors, House Venzen’s knights appeared, swords drawn.

“Bind that person immediately.”

Following the heavy command, a black cloth bag was placed over Reina’s face.

Two hours later, in front of the abandoned house at the Bohr domain—

—Reina got ahold of me. First of all, you’re coming back to the capital alone. Then, you’ll go to the Pecorna Mountain Range.

“If it’s the Pecorna Mountain Range…”

—Yes. I know it’s surprising, but Reina is currently with Count Venzen.

Jeremy’s family, also positioned in the south of the Bohr domain?

It was a series of unexpected events, but this direction was truly extraordinary.

‘I thought if she escaped, she would go to the Grand Duke’s domain…’

Could anyone really predict how their lover would act?

—It’s undoubtedly surprising. But let’s hear the details from Reina, and for now, head to the Venzen domain as quickly as possible.

Even if he’s ‘that’ Count Venzen, he’s still human. Surely he must be deeply resentful after losing his prospective heir.

‘How exactly did she persuade him?’

The flood of worries about her seemed to fade away, absurdly enough. Honestly, it felt almost silly to worry about her.

Could there be anyone she couldn’t turn into an ally in this world?

“I understand. I’ll divert the knights’ attention and then teleport to the Venzen residence. Please send a missive there.”

Perhaps due to the notice of Ethan’s visit through the grand duke, Ethan was able to meet Count Venzen immediately.

“It’s been a long time, Your Excellency the Marquis.”

Although Count Venzen was much older, his rank was lower, so he greeted Ethan with respect.

“I’d like to exchange greetings, but please understand that I’m not in the right state of mind to do so, Count.”

And although formally Ethan was above the count, Ethan also greeted him with due respect.

“Then let’s discuss the details as we go to the room where the Saintess is.”

Fortunately, Count Venzen, adaptable as he was, seemed very aware of the urgency of the situation.

‘It looks like he’s been fully persuaded.’

Various assumptions about the process came to mind, but Ethan pushed those thoughts aside and focused on hastening his steps. The details could be heard directly from his beloved.

That’s when it happened.

“Your Excellency, it’s currently difficult to speak with the Saintess.”
