Kapitel 63: Chapter 11. Secret meeting

My eyes widened.

— W-what… What did you say?

The Marquise gave me a quick glance, looking around.

— You heard everything. Hurry up and leave while there's still time.

I froze in a stupor.

«Are you really going to let me go…?» I asked, dumbfounded, because I did not expect such a thing from the wife of the owner of the house.

— yes.

I was scared. In the blink of an eye, it became clear for what reason she took me for a walk. This was done not at all for the purpose of «relaxing», but to give me the opportunity to escape from here…

— B-but why? — I volunteered, — Why are you doing this?

Obelia Windsor hesitated for a second when I asked her this question. At that moment, she returned the sad expression with which she usually looked at me.

Hesitantly raising her hand, the woman still stroked my hair. A faint smile froze on his lips.

— Is it really that important? I just want to get you out of here.
