But Lian's method of treatment was truly bizarre.
Catherine even suspected she was being made a fool of.
But then again, no one would be foolish enough to trifle with someone infected with the plague. Wasn't he afraid of being infected himself?
The loyal maid, Mina, clenched her fists. Several times she wanted to rush in and stop the golden-haired man's beastly behavior, but the righteous old knight, Kage Mori, held her back.
"You must trust Lord Lian. He is our last hope."
"But, Miss Catherine... if something terrible happens to her..."
Before Mina could finish, she saw Kage Mori's gaze turn cold.
"Is there anything more terrifying than death?"
Mina said no more.
At the same time, Knight Kage Mori made a silent vow. 'If Lian not only fails to save Miss Catherine but also defiles her, I will give my life to stop him and make him a soul claimed by my sword.'
