Chapter 227: A coincidental encounter
"My lady, we couldn’t find the person. It seems like they left as soon as the auction ended. The guild’s attendants didn’t notice their departure either." A heavily armored knight reported to a beautiful red red-haired young woman.
It was Carmine.
"...What about that woman?" Carmine asked, her eyes narrowing.
"We... We couldn’t find her either. And it seems like she changed inns too." The knight replied with his head low.
"Tch, escaped huh? What a coward." Carmine clicked her tongue in irritation mixed with satisfaction.

...No, I can’t let her get away like this!
She had to pay the price for humiliating her, insulting her family, and his highness.
"Send people again, search thoroughly." Carmine’s voice was sharp, a chilling resolve hardening her delicate features. The knight nodded, turning to issue the orders, but Carmine wasn’t finished yet. "And inform the city guard. I want every gate watched, every carriage inspected. She can’t have gone far. Bring her to me, no matter what it takes."
"Yes, my lady." The knight bowed again and quickly took his leave.
"I have to show you what it means to mess with a future queen," Carmine muttered to herself as she was left alone, a dangerous glint passing through her eyes.
That’s right. She had to act like a queen from now on if she didn’t want to embarrass her husband in the future.
