The Tamed Heiress - Chapter 49

Owen, who had been quiet for a while, spoke. His tone was more relaxed, but the content was cruel.

“If you’re serious, you’ll have to work harder on this marriage. If things go wrong because of her, what do you think will happen to her after that?”

Owen’s words were that of intimidation. Watching Leon’s face distorted, Owen turned and came out as if he had nothing more to say.

Owen, walking a few steps down the hallway, also had anger on his face.

“To go through the same thing and threaten the same thing. I think it’s a mean thing to do.”

Obsession and stubbornness resided in both men. Owen was helping himself, so he had no intention of bending to Leon’s will. He shook his head excitedly and called in Chedron, the butler.

Leon cared about Owen’s words, but he cared more about Dana’s whereabouts.

He hurriedly commanded the knights and soldiers, ordering them to search inside and outside the castle and even in quite distant areas.

Along with a detailed description of Dana’s appearance, he even added a condition that he would give a big prize to the one who found the guest. Then his knights began to search for her with enthusiasm.

Rian was sitting alone in the large office at the top. It was afternoon, but no news had been heard yet. He had already beaten his subordinates several times.

Rian chewed his thumbnail and recited them low.

“I should have broken the legs of that girl…”

That would have been a problem when she went to Grand Duke Tertius, but it would have been enough to just say that she was injured in an accident.

While trying to figure out how to deal with her if he brought her, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room.

“Sir!”

It was his servant who called Rian. He was a servant of the Duke of Hamilton, but Rian turned him into his own person by seducing him with money and valuables.

“What?”

To Rian, who was asking in a sour way, the servant looked sorry and said the matter.

“Master ordered everyone to come into the house. He came in-person to the mansion.”

“… Father-in-law?”

Rian, who was sitting arrogantly with his knees crossed, stood up from the chair frowning. Anyway, he was in the shadow of the Duke of Hamilton, and he had to obey his words.

And to some extent, he had to keep his affairs secret, so it was better to go back quickly before the Duke knew more.

“Okay, damn it. Nothing is going to happen.”

On his way out of the merchant group grumbling, he told the person passing by there firmly.

“If you find her, keep an eye on her so that she can never run away. Okay?”

The person who received the one-sided notice from Rian was puzzled because he didn’t know what it meant. He was an outside merchant, and he just stopped by the office because he had something to sort out for a while.

Shortly after Rian left, Harbert came into the office with a troubled look.

“See her right now? Oh, my. He didn’t reply all this time, but suddenly like this…”

He replied that he would meet Dana right away at the Grand Duchy. It was absurd for this to suddenly come out of the castle where there was no answer the whole time, but he couldn’t even bite it. (TN- As in bite the opportunity)

“Hurry up and find a girl.”

* * *

Harbert urged the servants more, and the servants also became impatient. This was because they notified them that they would cut their salaries by a week if they didn’t find her.

“Oh, my. Does this make sense? How can you find someone with such information?”

“Right, blonde hair is rare, but it’s harder to see blue eyes with blonde hair. I searched the village thoroughly, but I didn’t see such a woman.”

In an alley near the top, they grumbled and gathered. The darkness was slowly coming, so it was too much to go around the village anymore.

At that time, the servant, who was scrubbing the floor, accidentally hit his colleague as if he had found something while looking at the upper building.

“What is it? Why?”

“Hey, look over there.”

Where he pointed, a blonde woman was coming out with a basket. He couldn’t see the color of her eyes, but he had to check for now.

“Let’s go.”

The rest nodded and followed him out.

After finishing organizing the dinner, Dana was going to store the utensils in the warehouse.

However, a group of people walked from the opposite alley, staring at her. They were wearing familiar costumes, so it was easy to see that they were employed at the top.

“Anything you want to say…?”

“Oh, the color of your eyes! Blue!”

“Really? I found her. I found her.”

Without answering Dana’s question, they exchanged words between themselves and suddenly two people grabbed her arms as if restraining her. Surprised, Dana tried to shake it off.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“I was wondering where she went and she was right in front of me.”

“I know, phew, now we’re going to rest.”

When Dana struggled to pull out her arm, they grabbed harder and blocked her mouth with their hands.

“I told you to be quiet and take care of it. Let’s hurry up and take her.”

“I guess it’s right because she’s trying to run away. Well, blonde hair and blue eyes are not common.”

After getting out of the castle, it was already the second time being dragged out without knowing the reason. They didn’t seem to have a bad purpose, they seemed to do what someone had told them to do.

Trying to get out of it was hard and useless.

Dana gave up rebellion and was dragged into the merchant group building with both hands bound. Some people peeked at her, but they only made a sad face and did not help.
