“I want to ask you a few questions, Yvonne. I’d like you to answer carefully.” “Yeah? Uh, what?”

Despite her tired complexion, the duke did not let go of her staring with cold eyes. “Where have you been so far?”

“I fell asleep in the woods while taking a short walk after I came back from the outdoors. So I’m on my way back in a hurry.”

“So you’ve been in the mansion the whole time?” “Yes, yes, of course.”

“You’re lying.”

The duke made her feel a chill.

“I have confirmed with my own eyes that the empty carriage has returned.” “That, that”

At the Duke’s point, Yvonne looked visibly awkward. She soon gave a hard response.

“In factthis carriage left me behind first. That’s why I managed to get another carriage and come

back to the back door, Duke.”

“The horseman who came back was rambling like a madman. Like he’s under the spell of psychic magic.”

In Yvonne’s excuse, the duke said something out of the blue.

The wizard hired by the Duke shook his head with a look of dismay, saying there was no way to fix the horseman.

‘A foxy old man. Wizard, hired by him and who checked me.’ Yvonne clenched her hidden fists behind her.

“Well, I don’t know! I’m telling you the truth.”

“If you’re telling the truth, why didn’t you tell me right away?” “What I didn’t tell you immediately,”

Yvonne looked back at the people who had been driven to her with wet eyes.

“I thought the Duke might have sent me backso if I pretended not to know, I could stay here

longer”

She finally dropped her head in silence.

The slender tears began to drip down on the chin.

Someone who looked worse than the pathetic figure tried to dissuade him.

“Father, it’s late at night. She is back in good shape. That’s enough. You can scold her tomorrow.” It was Derrick, who couldn’t sleep for a few days and had bloodshot eyes.

Deep tiredness came to his face as he thought the Duke had summoned him and assembled knights to find the missing Yvonne.

“Today, why did you go to the top street?”

But the duke remained unshakable. Yvonne replied with a look of dejection. “The, the top street? I don’t even know where it is”.

“Becky, who was your maid before Penelope’s coming-of-age ceremony, testified that she had been asking others about the location of the top street.”

“Father! It’s not finished yet!”

“Shut up, Derrick!”

The Duke, who glared at Derrick, turned to Yvonne again and continued his words. “When the head maid asked why she said it was to buy the goods you ordered.” While Yvonne was out, the Duke hurriedly called in the maid for questioning.

The head maid had been excluded from the investigation earlier due to the focus of attention on the dead maid and her loyalty to the Duke.

When her testimony was added, the case was reorganized.
