Chapter 75: Midnight Search

DAHLIA:

How can I be so naïve? All the signs were there… That sudden encounter in Hildt, the way that he seduced me and pursued me… They were all there, so why did I not see it?

“Dahlia, don’t cry… Don’t cry… Tell me properly, hmm,” my father said, drying my tears with his hand despite the amount that was streaming down my face. “What do you mean by that? Where did you see that Shadow wolf?”

Before I could even speak, there was an urgent rap by the door.

“Countess… The prince and his men are here,” Lina said, a look of fear written all over her face.

I quickly dried my tears and smoothened my dress and hair.

“Did they say why,” I asked Lina.

She shook her head. “They said it’s urgent.”

“Papa, let’s see them first,” I said to my father who had already composed himself as if nothing had happened.
