Chapter 45
It seemed like Yerna hadn’t made an empty threat, as her lady-in-waiting came to check on Sez the very next morning. She came exactly when Sez used to depart for tutoring, as if she was there to keep her in check. Of course, Sez lied and said that she had really stopped the tutoring.
“You can see it for yourself, I’m not going anywhere right now!”
Runa helped her out too. Yerna’s watchdog left, saying that’d she would report back to her mistress. Sez had told Runa the truth about how Rayton made a proposal due to their change of recent circumstances and she agreed. Sez had thought that Runa would worry at first, as she usually did, considering that Yerna would beat her like a dog, or do something even worse, if she found out that she had lied to her. Sez was planning to persuade Runa anyway as she didn’t want to lie to her and on top of that, she couldn’t, considering they were together most of the time.
