Chapter 46: Wild Horse (3)
To the dear Miss Diella,
It has been quite some time since the end of spring, yet the nights remain cold. During these important days for you, I hope you take good care of your health.
The reason I write this secret letter with a quill is because it saddens me to see that you harbor resentment toward me.
Although I cannot express it openly in public, I have no reason to be your enemy, Miss Diella. Above all, I have always wished to be rid of the magic instructor named Dereck whom you mentioned.
As you well know, the Beltus family is not willing to dismiss Dereck. Therefore, my desire to do so runs counter to my family’s interests.
By expressing this intention, I feel as though I’m exposing a weakness to you, Miss Diella. If you see this letter as a lie or a ruse, you are free to take it and present yourself directly to the Beltus family.
If you deliver this letter to my father, it will be reported that a noble lady of the Beltus family has acted against our house. Of course, this would also gravely damage my own position.
The reason I’m revealing my vulnerability so openly is simple—our interests are aligned.
As I mentioned, I deeply wish for someone, anyone, to take away the magic instructor named Dereck.
