《TML? IDWH》chapter 29
Advertisement
The next day, Royer filed a complaint on behalf of the Baron. Since this was an incident among the nobility, an immediate investigation was carried out.
The investigator, who came to confirm the case, Luna and Baron explained in detail what had happened that day.
On the other hand, Polkan, the duke's lawyer, denied everything that had happened and filed a complaint against Luna for the attack on Fersen.
Meanwhile, Luna, having written a letter for Fersen, handed it to Royer, along with a check for his help.
"If you need more money, just tell me."
Luna did not have a huge amount of money yet, but she was ready for a lot if only her plan was a success.
"This will be enough."
Royer exchanged checks for gold coins, and met with a man who worked at the Duke's mansion.
Royer's man worked as a maid at the mansion. In addition, she witnessed the situation in the mansion when Anteres hit Fersen.
"Sylvia hasn't seen each other for a long time. I came with a request."
"Is it because of what was in the mansion?"
"Yes, but not really, I called you because I wanted to give you something ..."
Royer replied, placing the bag of gold coins on the table. When she tilted her head to check the contents, she froze in surprise.
"This ... is that ...?"
"This is a reward for your work."
She has never received such a lot of money. The maid clenched her hands into fists, fearing that this was some dangerous undertaking.
"This is of course a lot of money. But I will refuse. Money is good, but my life is more precious."
"Your life will be safe. All you have to do is leave one letter in secret. "
"I don't know what it says! Don't you know that writing is the most dangerous thing in the world? "
"I made some more because I knew you would say that." And don't worry about the content. The recipient will like this letter."
Royer then placed another bag of gold coins on the table. Taken together, this was a huge amount.
"If things don't go according to plan, you can take all that money and go wherever you want."
No matter how dangerous it was, it was big enough money to change your life.
So she seriously considered the proposal, looking at the bags of gold coins lying in front of her.
Thinking she asked:
"... What happens if I get caught?"
"If you deliver the letter, we will provide you with a safe place to stay. At the Carmen Hotel. I will rent a royal room there in my name, so you can stay there for a while. We'll even provide you with a couple of mercenaries to guard if you want."

Calmed down, she got up from her seat, picking up a letter and bags of gold.
"What if I run off like this without leaving a letter?"
"Nothing. My client is not that kind of person, he will not follow you. But I believe that you will not do this, because you are a good person."
The lawyer replied with a soft smile, saying that he completely trusts her.
Blushing, she pressed her lips together, turned away abruptly, and returned to work without regret.
A few days later, Sylvia, with a clear head and a letter in her hands, went to Fersen's room, grabbing some cleaning supplies just in case.
She did not arouse suspicion in anyone, since she had been in charge of Fersen's room for a long time.
"Mister Fersen ... you are asleep again."
In recent years, Fersen has slept a lot. Of course there were days when he was awake, but that was very rare. Perhaps the reason was that he spent a lot of time at work, but she felt that he just wanted to escape reality through sleep.
Thanks to this, it seemed to her that the work would be easy.
"Now I'll just quietly leave it here and go ..."
Pretending to clean the room, she looked at Fersen and carefully pulled out the letter that was in a pocket.
Then she placed him carefully on the bedside table so that he could see him as soon as he got up.
It was a very simple task. Moreover, for such a sum of money. All she had to do was leave the room with detergents and escape at dawn ...
"What is it?"
Suddenly she heard Fersen's voice behind her.
"Hey, what did you leave there?"
It was a cheerful voice, it was impossible to say that he was asleep. Sylvia, hearing his voice, petrified like a statue, and slowly turned her head.
Then, picking up the letter, Fersen frowned.
Sylvia panicked, terrified.
"AAAA.... What to do? ... What to do!? Maybe it's for the best !?"
Sylvia thought, her breath caught in her throat, but Fersen, looking around the letter, recognized Luna's handwriting, written in small letters on the back.
"... What? ... Is this a letter from Luna?"
Hearing a surprised voice, Sylvia nodded.
"Is this really a letter from Luna !?"
The astonished Fersen opened the letter as quickly as possible. Then his gaze fell on the beautiful, elegant handwriting of Luna.
[Dear Fersen.
I have known you for so long, but my heart hurts from this unpleasant situation. So we hope to clear up this misunderstanding as soon as possible ...]
He was touched by the beautiful content of the letter, in which Luna seemed to be sincerely asking for reconciliation. Looking at the ceiling, Fersen took a deep breath and again asked Sylvia.

"When did she give it to you?"
"I ... Actually .... I did not receive the letter personally from her, I was simply asked to give it to her. So I don't know exactly when ...! "
She could not tell who exactly gave her the letter. But that was enough to convince Fersen.
"Well ... then ... can I go ...? I still need to clean other rooms ..."
Sylvia said, but Fersen peered intently at Luna's letter and just stood there in silence. His eyes shone with joy as he read her letter.
As a result, Sylvia bowed deeply and hurried out of the room. Her destination was the Carmen Hotel provided by Royer.
***
The arguments on both sides were harsh, so in the end the trial was still conducted in a closed manner, with a small number of people, but many had heard of it.
Rumors spread quickly, and several nobles even visited the courthouse. They were the kind of people who loved rumors.
Since she needed a letter in return, Luna went out into the courtyard a little earlier, and waited anxiously for Fersen.
"Don't worry so much. We can win this case without a letter. You just need to be confident."
Instead of empty words, Royer gathered enough evidence using the various connections he made at the Duke's residence.
This should have refuted Polkan's assertion that "No one held the baron, and he could leave at will."
"Trust me. I have already agreed on everything. Nothing threatens us in this court. I will do everything possible."
Luna smiled slightly because Royer was so confident. The Baron also said that he trusted Royer and he was calm.
Fersen appeared soon after. It was not long before the trial began.
When he entered the courtroom and found Luna, his eyes lit up like those of a dog that met its master after a long separation. This was the result of the letter from Luna.
Seeing this, Royer exhaled slightly, realizing that Luna's operation had been successful.
"What the hell did you write to him? He looks like a tame dog ..."
To Royer's direct question, Luna answered with a smile.
"Nothing. She just said that I didn't want to lose him because of a misunderstanding. That we are too special and precious to each other."
Royer sat with a shocked face and said quietly:
"I don't think you're serious, but I'll keep it a secret from Antares."
Of course, I was not talking seriously, but there was no need to keep it a secret. If Antares heard this, he would most likely burst into tears of laughter.
"Then all that remains for me is to receive a reply letter. I'll hurry up and be back soon."
Royer said and tried to get up from his seat, but Luna grabbed his arm.
"Let's wait. Don't humiliate yourself."
"Then how do you plan to receive the letter?"
"It's simple. "
At the moment when Luna replied in this way, Fersen, who was heading to the place of the accused, suddenly turned and headed straight for Luna.
"BUT!?"
Accompanied by lawyers and servants who did not understand what was happening, he approached Luna and quickly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Luna.
"Please do not judge harshly and sorry for any misunderstandings ..."
"I will."
Luna smiled sarcastically at Fersen, who himself brought a letter of confession. It was a bright smile that he received from her for the first time in his life.
Fersen, blushing, nodded to the Baron, then turned and walked towards his lawyers.
This happened very quickly, the escorts had no chance to interfere with him.
The letter was already in the hands of Luna. And since the case was in court, it will no longer be possible to take it away by force.
Luna shook the letter she received. A few meters away, she saw a surprised Polkan asking his servants why the hell Fersen gave her something.
Royer was so shocked that he froze for a while, then held up his thumb up to look at Luna.
"He seems to like you very much, Luna."
Royer said, shifting his gaze to Fersen, who at that time was vowing to speak only the truth.
Perhaps after reading the letter, he hoped that Luna really wanted to resolve the misunderstanding and befriend him again.
"I really want to make up, I want to correct, no more misunderstandings, I promise."- Fersen suddenly spoke, addressing Luna.
But Luna knew it was just words, and soon he would be mad with obsessions again.
"Luna, you must part with Antares. If he cheats on you, I will kill him." Fersen continued.
"I won't do that." Luna said casually.
The Baron, meanwhile, calmly observing the situation, said:
"My girl is not guilty of anything!
"In the end, it's all because you don't want to part with Antares. All because of him, he clouded your mind! "- Fersen raised his voice.
"No! You got it all wrong! This is not so! "Luna exclaimed.
What the hell does it all boil down to Antares? Luna was angry to herself.
Luna wanted to change the course of the trial, so she hastily opened a letter written by Fersen.

When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
