Chapter 206
Isella Evans was, at the end of the day, ultimately a rival. Carynne and Isella could never be friends. The only time they had come close to being such was when Carynne had been Isella’s maid, actively supporting the girl’s marriage with Raymond.
But now, Raymond could not go to Isella anymore—ever.
The bond between Carynne and Raymond couldn’t be severed. And about the Raymond of the past who was with Isella… No, it’s better not to think about it. Carynne closed her eyes tightly, then opened them. Why hold onto regrets? Why try to feel remorse? Don’t sympathize. She’s not in a position to feel pity for someone else.
If she wanted to feel pity, let it be for Tom, for Nancy, for other poor and downtrodden people. Isella was not an object of pity. Isella was the daughter of Verdic. She’s someone to be opposed, not pitied. And more importantly, Carynne has Raymond. And Isella liked Raymond.
She’s a rival. An enemy.
Carynne propped her chin and wrote his name on the paper with her pen.
[ Sir Raymond Saytes ]
Her knight.
The only important thing in this world was this one person. Carynne reminded herself again. Even if she’d decide to live more generously this time, she must not forget what’s important.
The important thing is Raymond.
When would Raymond come? How long must she wait?
“…Oh dear.”
