The Return of the Female Knight

CHAPTER 37: the only time 2

The first thing Mirabelle did when she woke up the next day was ask about her mysterious savior.

"Sister, where's the guy who looks like my teddy bear?"

"…What?"

"I mean the black-haired guy. Didn't you see him yesterday? "

Elena pretended not to know about Kuhn. There was no explanation he could give his sister. He was unable to explain that he was a man that the crown prince had assigned to him, let alone say that an outsider stayed in his room late last night.

"I don't know who you're talking about."

Mirabelle's face curled up in disappointment. She already looked extremely ill, but with a pouting expression on top of that, Elena could not help but feel a hint of guilt.

"Why are you looking for someone like that?"

"…"

"Do you want to thank him for helping you?"

"… I told her not to go, but she left."

Mirabelle gripped the coat jacket around her. It wasn't until he woke up, free from the fog of pain, did he remember what he looked like. Before Mirabelle suddenly lost consciousness, she recalled the last few words she had with her.

"I'm not a teddy bear."

Anyone would feel embarrassed if they were suddenly asked if it was a teddy bear, but he replied with a strange calmness. Mirabelle might be giggling if not for her condition.

The man's blue-black hair was very similar to his teddy bear color. It is not a common color among the population. Perhaps in his feverish haze, he was eager to see the bear come back to life.

"Please, let me go. I need to bring someone else. "

"It's okay .. Please, stay here. It would be useless if the doctor came. ”

"You need to see a doctor."

Kuhn was forced to pull away from Mirabelle's grip several times, but each time Mirabelle pulled her coat harder. He doesn't want to be alone. He hated being left alone in pain.

Kuhn could easily pull herself out of Mirabelle's grasp, but she seemed to be arguing with herself with what to do. Kuhn looked a bit distant from Mirabelle, but it was rather comforting compared to her unfortunate or sad appearance.

"Don't .. leave me alone."

"…"

"When I'm sick .. I hate being alone."

"…"

"It's okay if you stay a little .. so please stay here …"

Every wave of pain that befell him was like the pain of death. At that moment, he thought that he did not want to be alone when he died.

"… Young Miss, the world is deserted."

Those were the last words Mirabelle remembered. When he woke up again, he wondered if it was a dream. A man who looked like his teddy bear was indeed real.

However, the coat held in his hand was not from a dream. He asked her not to leave, but her words had no effect. He felt a little sadness.

At Marquis Selby's house.

Helen frowned at the woman who was brought in. He had heard that this woman, who had been dismissed by Blaises, was having trouble on the streets, but he did not realize that she would be this dirty.

"If I knew she'd look like this, I'd bathe her first."

Helen quickly took out a scented handkerchief and covered her nose, and gracefully stood in front of the woman who was lying prostrate on the floor in front of her.

"Is your name Sophie?"

"Yes, yes, Madam! I'm Sophie who works at House Blaise. "

"But you're fired?"

"Oh, I …"

Sophie's voice disappeared. He was forced to leave House Blaise as punishment, and did not dare to say anything just in case Elena came to his neck.

Seeing that Sophie was mute from fear, Helen threw something out of her pocket. The clink of gold coins resounded loudly on the floor, and Sophie raised her head in surprise and looked at Helen. Helen furrowed her brows when she saw Sophie's dirty face.

“This will be your reward depending on how you do it. Now, I want you to answer whatever I ask in detail. Why were you suddenly fired from House Blaise? ”

“I – I got kicked out because I knew that Elena would sneak out to meet men every night. So he fired me to shut up! ”

Hearing Sophie's furious rage, a cruel smile twisted on Helen's lips. She already knows the rumors to some extent, but she must find Sophie, the witness of the event. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to pay such a large sum to the maids.

"Can you tell me everything later?"

"Oh, anything. You saved my life."

"Ho ho, I'm looking forward to it."

Helen had already planned out how to take revenge on Elena in her head. How dare Elena humiliate him with salty tea? Elena would avenge the humiliation Helen suffered in the most severe way.

"standing. I guess there's not enough time to tell me everything you know about Lady Blaise. ”
