Chapter 38: Denise (4)
“I asked about the Duplain estate, and it seems Lady Aiselin plans to come to Raspah Cave in person. The servants are already busy preparing for the trip.”
The next morning, Bella, who had gone to the estate to collect supplies, brought back news. It wasn’t good news for Denise.
“…”
“What should we do, Lady Denise?”
“What can we do if Aiselin herself is making a move? Who could stop her?”
Denise’s expression grew complicated. Although she was a girl full of confidence, she couldn’t help but think that the man wouldn’t be able to refuse Aiselin if she came in person.
In fact, he would probably respond quite positively. Sinking into her luxurious tent, Denise finally let out a long sigh.
“It seems I must admit a slow defeat. That man, as unyielding as a folding screen, will never teach me magic, no matter what I do.”
“That’s right… winning someone’s heart isn’t easy.”
