The Tamed Heiress - Chapter 62

It was a long time after midnight.

Harbert couldn’t even get off work, and he stretched his neck in front of the building at the top and looked toward the castle.

The three people who were sent out during the day still hadn’t returned, and no news had been heard.

“What are they still doing that they are not back yet? Huh?”

“They didn’t get caught, did they? That Dana Deniz is not real.”

Harbert took a breath and suddenly screamed at the servant who said it.

“Do you have something to say? If that was the case, soldiers would have flocked to the merchant group. Do you have an idea or not?”

“But… It should not take this long.”

The servant said what he thought without giving in as if he was familiar with Harbert’s nature. For a servant, he had his own head, and Harbert acted more or less like a secretary.

“Whew, I’m frustrated. If I knew I’d be this nervous, I wouldn’t have tried it from the beginning.”

All this happened because of Rian, who killed Dana in vain. Thinking of Count Rian, who left no news of where and what he was doing after leaving, Harbert ground his teeth, frustrated to his stomach.

“No can do, let’s hurry up and send someone to find out. At this rate, I can’t live under suspense.”

“It’s late now, so even if I send someone, they can’t go into the castle.”

“Hey, what did you say? Send someone in the morning!”

“No, you told me to hurry up and send someone…”

The servant grumbled and eventually left the room, but Harbert still lingered and could not sleep until dawn.

As soon as the longest night of his life had passed, he quickly sent someone first thing in the morning. But he only received a reply after urging several times.

Harbert opened and read the letter, doubting his eyes, he read it carefully once again.

“What are they talking about?”

The contents of the letter were roughly like this. Herman and Stein came to the Grand Duchy and touched something very precious, and for that reason, they were punished and locked up.

“What did he touch to get his arm cut off? What if I’m on fire for no reason?”

Harbert finished reading the rest, worrying about his safety rather than worrying about Herman’s arm being cut off or not. What the hell didn’t make sense was this part.

“To hold Dana Deniz accountable as a representative, they will have Dana Deniz for a while. However, we will not do any harm…”

It was uncomfortable and not very good content. The longer she stayed there, the more likely she was to be found to be fake.

If it is revealed that he deceived the Grand Duke, the entire merchant group, including himself, will be destroyed.

“Rian is a nobleman, so he will get out of it somehow.”

Harbert read the letter to the end, shaking his ridiculously grown beard.

“…You’re doing business? With us? Didn’t you mean you weren’t going to do it?”

The previous content had a negative nuance, and in the end, there was a positive conclusion that they would eventually sign a contract with the Deniz merchant.

For the first time since learning the letters, Harbert seriously pondered whether he was dyslexic. No matter how many times he read it, it was the same content.

“Ha, that means she finally made it!”

Only then did Harbert sweep his chest with confidence. If he went back to the beginning and decided on a deal with the Grand Duke, he would have said no.

“To be nervous like this… Why did he write like that?”

From the standpoint of the Grand Duke, he already knew that Dana was false, and just letting him know in a letter like this pretending to be deceived was a kindness, but Harbert, who did not know that, grumbled to himself.

If Rian hadn’t killed Dana Deniz in vain in the first place, there would have been nothing like this.

When he thought about sharing the fruits that he had suffered for with him, his stomach somehow seemed to hurt.

While trying to come up with one thing or another by himself, the servant who brought the correspondence hurriedly spoke.

“Working-level officials from the castle are waiting below.”

“What? Already?”

Surprised, Harbert hurriedly went down to the first floor with a letter in his hand. As the servant said, two well-dressed men were waiting in front of the door.

“Oh, welcome! What are you doing? Why didn’t you bring them tea? Come on, sit over here.”

The two were only junior officials in charge of their duties in the castle, but they were also aristocrats. Even so, with excessive kindness and flattery, Harbert began to talk to them for a contract.

Dana fell asleep. She woke up once in a while. She had so much to say but she fell asleep after delivering something to Leon, who was looking at her.

“I didn’t run away… I just went to the west side palace… Things suddenly turned out weird.”

“West side palace? Didn’t I tell you not to go there? What took you there?”

“I don’t know. It was just a sudden sound… And then…”

Leon has been angry all along since he assumed that Dana ran away, but he was angry in another sense when she said she didn’t.

After saying that, he looked at her sleeping again silently, patting her gently on the top of her chest. If she didn’t run away, he could find out from now on. Because she was by his side. Of course, listening through Dana’s mouth would have been the fastest, but Leon just wanted to let her sleep more.

“Don’t wake up and sleep now. I’ll be out for a while.”

After saying that, of course, Leon headed straight to the west side palace. He took no one but headed there quickly.

However, on his way, he saw someone and walked slowly. The opponent also slowed down when he found Leon.
