The Marchioness covered her face as she spoke of this cousin's story:
"I've sent people to ask around everywhere and learned that she disappeared a week after her husband's funeral, and that was also on a full‑moon night. I was worried about her safety, but I had no idea who to ask for help. God, why must this kind of Fate befall us? How is Maryca now? What have you done to her?"
"She's fine, but she needs to rest."
Shard said with a cold face, continuing to maintain his "cold‑blooded and cruel" persona. Miss Belindel explained with concern:
"This gentleman ran into her when he was helping me with an Investigation outside the city, and they had a fight, so that's why he has such a bad attitude. But don't worry, your cousin is all right now. If you wish, you can come with me to see her in a bit."
"All right."
Only then did the Marchioness's emotions steady somewhat. Although Mrs. Maryca Frost was a Werewolf, she truly regarded the other woman as family.
