I shouldnt have let him go somehow but my sister and Ferdinand were already stabbed

Young Lady, calm down. How can it be the Young Ladys fault that they were caught?

Im so sorry to be the only one left

Arjan covered her face. Her face had been paler than anyone else, which revealed the horrors that had happened in the lounge.

What about Ferdinand? My sister, my sistershes so frail that she cannot last long in such a harsh place

Calm down, Young Lady. Youre already out of breath. Please breathe slowly.

Arjan began to breathe out slowly according to that persons words. Every time she blew out a light breath with her trembling lips, her complexion was regained little by little.

But all of those actions hadnt been caught by Ravens eyes.

Young Lady Clemence.

Even Arjans pitiful appearance was disagreeable to him. He had to find his wife quickly, but he was so frustrated by her dawdling answer.

Dont make me ask me twiceMolitia, where did my wife go?

Uh, youre

Unlike others, Arjan bit her tongue slightly when he was still holding up a cold attitude.

Young Lady Clemence, I want you to tell me right awaywithout dragging those feet of yours.

Sympathy wasnt working for the Duke. Therefore, it was rather necessary to give away the information that she needed to hand over. Arjan then pointed her finger outward, albeit a little wobbly.

she was taken over there.

She was dragged away?

The unidentified man who knocked her out had thrown me off before dragging her away.

Raven proceeded to run again following Arjans fingertips. As he arrived at the garden without losing a breath, he quickly took a look around.

The white-covered garden appeared similar everywhere. The snow-covered world had obscured even the way out.

His eyes were fixated at one place as he turned his head and searched around. He made a quick pause in his steps before heading to the place that was under a wall in the garden.

Its

His eyes began scowling as he lifted the shawl with his gaze still fixed on it. It was a familiar shawlan item that he wouldnt have not recognized in the first place.

This shawl was a gift from Raven to Molitia, herself.

Molitia.

Ravens face was crushed terribly right into the shawl. He finally began to realize that Molitia had already disappeared.

where did she go?

He couldnt just believe what Arjan was saying. She was one of the family members who had always tormented his wife, adding more to his distrust.

At this time of winteryoud get cold easily.

He could never believe it without seeing it with his own pair of eyes. He never imagined that she, who had always been by his side, would disappear in such a vain way like this.

He just couldnt. Ever since the moment she appeared by his side, he thought that she would always be there next to him.

But that belief was utterly broken for the first time. Due to ones negligence. All because of a moments wrong choice.

Molitia.

He just couldnt hide his weeping heart. For the first time ever, he realized what it was that had made him cry.

Even when his mother had passed away in vain, he was stained with guilt and regret, which he had been unable to retain since he couldnt cry properly due to his burning hostility towards his own father.

What did the Marquis call it before? She was more important. She was the most precious thing in the whole wide world.

Please

It wouldve been nice if she were to return and whisper his name softly in his ear. Even if the tip of his nose had turned red due to the cold, he thought that he still could have managed these unstable feelings of his, albeit barely, if she appeared by his side and held his hand.

But she hadnt returned at all. She didnt hold his hand nor did she call out his name affectionately.

She said that she had been dragged away.

He breathed in her faint scent before lifting his head from the shawl. His face, which had crumbled disastrously, was looking much more brutal than ever.

I will slaughter those hands of the man who took off her shawl.

I will crush the neck of that person who had knocked her out.

I will torture the man who dragged her off to the point of not dying just yet.

And I will absolutely get my wife back. Raven then bit down his lips tightly.

In his eyes, there was no longer a trace of the former Raven.

What the hell is this list?

The voice of the aging Marquis rumbled like a thunderbolt.

Huh? But this is the list which was obtained from my master, but

My official seal is not stamped here!

The list that had been in the hands of the angry Marquis was eventually thrown towards the servant. Along with the fluttering paper, the servants face had shown to be lost in thought.

And who the hell are these people? I never invited anyone like this!

Well, that cant be

The servant, who had already turned blue, quickly knelt down. The final cry of desperation from the person who realized that everything had gone wrong as he intuitively fell onto the floor.
