Chapter 15
He knew how much Laritte loved this old villa.
The first floor was always free of dust (The second floor had been abandoned.) The walls were clean too.
Before he came to this house, she had also bought a seedling and raised it well.
Little flowers used to bloom every day on the table where she usually took her meals.
Laritte told him.
But each and every one of them was a lie!
“No, it can’t be like this. I should be the one to do it.”
Ian turned around, clutching the invitation.
Laritte tried to snatch it from behind.
“If you go alone and fail……”
“…..?”
“I can confess to the government that I was the one who invited you.”
She was really stubborn.
He frowned and glanced back at her.
Her face was still calm.
“Or you’ll be executed.”
“I wouldn’t be.”
“Really?”
‘How can you be so sure?’
When she asked again, he hesitated.
She was the last person to know about his whereabouts.
‘What if he actually fails?’
Looking at her calm expression, he felt shivers running down his spine.
Laritte knew Ian as much as he knew her.
In the end, he had no choice but to surrender to her.
Ian strode towards the door leaving her behind. He deliberately raised his voice so that he could be heard clearly.
“All right, if we’re going to attend the banquet, we have to wear formal clothes. How much does a ginseng dress cost? But before that, I’m going to have to sell some wood.”
“…..”
“Of course, you don’t have to help me. It must be hard to cut those items.”
‘I can see you’re already struggling.’
When he didn’t get any response from Laritte, he sighed before he went to search for the ax.
Ian was still standing in front of the porch.
