When the mans rough hands tried to take off her pants, Julietta tried to escape with a frantic wave of hands and feet. She missed the panier hoop that made the skirt to swell by inserting the wire or whale bones in a circle.

Was it just to protect themselves that noblewomen wore those cumbersome things in their skirts? Julietta, who had been thinking about the wrong side of her dress for a while, regained her wits at the mans words. She wanted to get out of this situation, so she could barely hold on to her spirit instead of falling into a trance, and she heard the man put on airs in her ears.

Dont lose your strength in vain. The time given to me isnt that long.

Julietta was pushed back on the ground by the mans strength and she asked, Who is making you do this?

I dont know. I was been ordered to rape the woman in the carriage coming to this mansion today for money.

You said you didnt have much time? Is someone supposed to come?

I dont know. If I play with you for an hour or two, someone will come to pick you up, so lets have fun before he comes.

The man put his stinking mouth on her as he talked. The man began to tease her thighs, shrugging from one side to another, weighing down Julietta with his upper body as she writhed and avoided his mouth.

Julietta spoke decisively at the horrible sensation. I warn you to stop here if you dont want to regret it.

I think Ill regret it more if I stop. Theres a woman under me who I cant even look at for the rest of my life, so I wont regret this even if I would die. The man focused on what he was doing, laughing at the way she stared and warned him.

Julietta asked the man in a hurry when she could no longer stand the danger. Wait, whats your name? At least I want to know who Im with. I dont want to feel like Im being forced to do this.

The man smiled grimly at the green eyes of the noble lady looking up at him, who stopped all the struggling and lay quietly. I dont usually reveal my real name because Im doing a dirty job. But Ill tell you in particular this time. I hope youll call my name with great pleasure. James Bowman. My name is James Bowman. Now, put it on your head. The man tried to go on with what he was doing after saying his name.

You said you wont really regret it?

The man answered Juliettas warning in a dry manner. No, I wont. Come on, girl. Expect what will happen. Youll soon see heaven.

Hold, hold, hold on! Wait a minute, Julietta said to the man to calm down again, who was gasping wildly and smacking his lips.

What are you waiting for? I dont have time. The man was irritated by her dissuasion.

Julieta finally began to struggle one more time.

You bitch! I even gave you my name, but you are just nagging. The mans big hand hit her cheek without mercy. Julietta was distracted by the shock.

You really wont regret it, do you? Even if youre going to die?

James Bowman snorted at Juliettas grimly mumbled words.

Are you going to kill me? How? You can resist me only now. Now, wait. His hands touched the inside of her thighs.

Julietta stopped hesitating further and mumbled, closing her eyes tightly. James Bowman is more beautiful than Julietta. Damn it, Manny. If this ability you told me is fake, you will die at my hands. Julieta repeated the command Manny had said was her ability several times.

Tears were streaming down from her closed eyes. But she closed her eyes tightly and mumbled the command frantically without feeling them.

What if this ability is fake? After a moment, she couldnt feel the heavy mans body weighing on her. When she opened her eyes, the big man who smelled bad had disappeared without a trace.

Despite the fact that she had said the w9rds, Julietta looked frantically around the empty hall with frightened eyes. It wasnt long before she believed the man had really disappeared, and she was convinced she was alone. She lay face down on the ground with a thump. Even after all that, she had to fall into guilt and relief without moving for a long time.

Oh, my God. It was true! Oh, thanks to all the gods. And Im sorry, but it was an inevitable choice. Oh! Im sorry and thank you. Thank you and Im sorry. Thank you. Im sorry. Thank you. Im sorry Julietta shed tears and repeated her gratitude and apology in the empty hall of the mansion where no one was present.

Vera left the lounge to meet Julietta, who should have returned to the family lounge at this point, saying, My heart is stuffy. As the party was at its peak, the corridor where the lounges of the high-ranking nobles were quiet without a person.

Huh? Isnt she Princess Kiellinis maid? After attending the party, Oswald was returning to the Princes resting room and found the wandering Vera.

Hello, Your Excellency the Marquis. Vera politely saluted the Marquis, whom she had encountered several times in the dressing shop.

Who are you waiting for? The princess is in His Highness Killians lounge.

Vera finally put on a look of relief at the Marquiss words. Oh, it was about time she came to rest, but she didnt come and so I came out.

Oswald tilted his head at Veras anxiety. Has the princess not fully recovered from her illness yet? From your face, Im afraid shes in some serious pain.

Unable to say she was worried because of the tight corset, Vera gave a vague excuse, and Oswald nodded as if he had known. She hasnt completely recovered from her illness. Anyway, shell be in His Highnesss lounge, so dont worry. If theres any problem, Ill send someone right away.

Thank you, Mr. Marquis.

Oswald walked lightly to Killians lounge. Your Highness, this is Oswald. May I come in?

Come in.

Oswald made his presence known even before the attendant spoke, and opened the door to the lounge as soon as he had an answer.

What about the princess?

Killians eyebrows crept up in the face of Oswald who was deeply disappointed when he couldnt see Julietta, who was supposed to be with Killian. Whats that look?

No, I deliberately got out of the lounge and expected some progress, but I feel empty that the princess isnt here. Oswald headed for the sofa with the lack of interest, and paused. Huh? But its weird.

What?

I was just passing by the family lounge of Kiellini when I met the princesss maid. Shes waiting for the princess who was supposed to come to rest. But shes not here, and she was not at the party. I didnt bump into her in the hallway. Where is she now?

Killians brow slightly frowned at Oswald who tilted his head in wonder. Didnt the princess go back to the lounge?

Yes. Did she go to the garden to get some air?

No, it cant be. She cant walk around in that dress. She should have gone straight to the lounge, but its weird that she wasnt there.

In that suit?

Killian jumped up, ignoring Oswald who looked as if he had done something. Go to the party hall, find the princess again and bring Mrs. Raban back to the Kiellini lounge.

Killian picked up something from the sofa and left for the family lounge of Kiellini.

Your Highness.

Didnt the princess come back to the lounge?

Vera was surprised and tried to greet Killian, but she was immediately blocked.

Only

No? Wasnt she in the lounge of Your Highness?

Killian threw the corset he was holding to Vera, who was bewildered.

This, this

I untied it because she was suffocating.

Vera was embarrassed by Killians answer. Then, then, then, where is the princess?

Thats my question. Where did she go in that dress? I thought shed go right back to the mansion of the Duke. Killian said so and then turned back and headed to the party hall.

Your Highness, Your Highness. Oswald came running, gasping his breath even before the Prince took a few steps away from the lounge of the Duke. He pushed forward a servant he brought behind him.

Say to the Prince what you said to me.
