Elisha shook her head slowly.

“It’s not so.”

“Give me the letter.”

“No.”

Lucerne realized it was the primary time she had mentioned no to him. However he was already proper in entrance of Elisha.

“I don’t wish to be uncouth to you.”

Lucerne whispered most tenderly.

“Give me your hand, Elisha.”

“… … .”

She seemed up at him.

“… … Promise me you received’t be offended. I simply acquired this letter.”

Elisha mentioned eventually. Lucerne nodded with a stoic look.

She held out the letter.

His chilly eyes scanned the letter very slowly.

Her mouth tasted bitter. Elisha needed to carry on to one thing to reassure herself. However there was nothing for her to seize onto.

His eyes stared at her letter. She noticed a horrible fury seep by means of his chilly glare. She needed to shut her eyes.

‘… … ah.’

And she or he thought Lucerne would flip away from her. However, as an alternative, he unexpectedly reached out to her to assist her physique.

“First,”

Lucerne mentioned curtly.

“Return to the room.”

Elisha was barely respiration. Her face was pale like a sheet of paper. She barely managed to nod.

However that was the restrict. Elisha simply blacked out in Lucerne’s arms.

I shouldn’t have drunk, I shouldn’t have been so riled up, Elisha thought, feeling dizzy.

Issues by no means turned out properly when she was so labored up. As anticipated, she thought to herself, euphoria or pleasure didn’t go well with her.

***

Chris Ellot Pian.

Chris,

Ellot,

Pian.

And Martin, Lecove and Avran. As well as… … .

Elisha couldn’t overlook the names she had seen in her previous life. The day she noticed these names, she witnessed Lucerne’s rage for the primary time.

Mendacity in her mattress, half unconscious, the recollections of her earlier life occupied her head once more.

Most of her earlier life was hell. And the reminiscence of that day was the worst of all of them.

***

Elisha’s reminiscence remained on that day after being held in Lucerne’s arms in a flower-filled spring.

That day was additionally the start of summer season.

She was holding an outdated mirror on her lap. She seemed within the mirror a number of instances, inspecting her ugly face distorted by burn scars. She did it in an try and carry herself again to actuality and understand her place. However it didn’t work a lot.

‘Why do I hold fascinated by him? I have to be loopy.’

A small change passed off inside her. A small flower of fervor bloomed in her coronary heart. It was a depressing and tacky little flower.

However it was the one flower in her life. She couldn’t sleep for days attempting to manage her feelings.

However early sooner or later, Elisha admitted it to herself:

Lucerne. 

Considering of him was the one pleasure she had in life.

It was the guts of a girl who had nothing, was hideous, pathetic, and terribly blind.

After which, a couple of days later, Carola summoned her.

“Do you bear in mind? The day Lucerne acquired offended and stormed out of the Duke’s eating room. Carola mentioned that day: ‘I’ve one thing so that you can do.’”

“… … .”

“My orders are easy. You write a letter and summon Lucerne. The place… … . It needs to be right here.”

“I can’t do it.”

Elisha rebelled in opposition to Carola for the primary time in a very long time.

“Mimosa. Deliver the whip.”

Mimosa strode ahead. Elisha was shocked and backed away in shock. Her giant handmaid, Mimosa, was as sturdy as a median man. Up to now, she had suffered for days afterwards when Mimosa had solely overwhelmed her along with her naked fingers.

“There’s no means the final will come out simply because I invited him.”

“It’s not so that you can choose. Do what Carola tells you to do. Even in the event you don’t, Mimosa will do it. She is a grasp at imitating handwriting, bear in mind?”

There was no means for her to refuse this time once more. Elisha had no alternative however to observe her command.

On the time, Carola was operating a secret membership known as the ‘Crimson Membership’ below a borrowed identify. The membership’s major use was to launder cash to evade taxes. In actuality, the establishment acted as a courtesan lodge and venue for entertaining Jacob’s distinguished visitors.

Within the innermost half, visitors had been supplied a room the place varied secret transactions had been performed. A spherical desk with a white tablecloth was positioned in the midst of the room, lined with fake silk wallpaper emblazoned with suggestive pink flowers.

‘There’s no means that man would come to a spot like this.’

Lucerne didn’t slot in right here. He was a noble and delightful man. Possibly Carola had misplaced her cause as a result of she needed Lucerne a lot?

She had given her an odd order right this moment.

‘Set the VIP desk and put the names of the invited visitors in entrance of every seat. Make certain it’s seen as quickly as you enter.’

Carola handed her an inventory of 14 individuals.

The listing was frankly odd.

“Chris, Ellot, Pian, Lecove, Avran… … .”
