Chapter 168.4
In a house owned by a noble family at the Royal Academy of Magic in the Kingdom of Claydale, a girl wearing a pitch-black dress was enjoying the aroma of tea on a large terrace.
“I’m bored.”
Her long, black hair, which seemed to eat up the light, swirled and tangled around her toying fingers.
Her skin was unhealthily pale rather than white, and the dark circles that made her look as if her eye sockets were hollowed out made her look more like a pariah than a sickly woman.
She was one of the Crown Prince’s fiancées, Countess Carla Lester.
But there was a smile on her mouth when she said she was bored. But it was not a cheerful smile that made people feel at ease. It was a smile of amusement that made others uneasy.
Carla was ordered by the royal family and her father to stay under house arrest at the school’s mansion.
This was because Carla attacked the Holy Church in the capital, killed all the devotees who were called saints, and harmed Nathaniel, the grandson of the Baron of Vestments, who was the temple’s head.
Although a settlement was reached with regard to the Holy Church, perhaps because of some behind-the-scenes matters, the ugly news never disappeared. The royal family wants to be associated with a powerful noble family, and Carla’s father, the Earl of Lester, wanted to be associated with the royal family, so Carla’s punishment was limited to house arrest.
Carla’s father’s aides came to check on her several times to keep an eye on her.
