Bab 61: The Clown

Selma Payne's POV:

My father had discussed Carolyn's strange behavior with the southern Duke. But, surprisingly, the southern Duke had flatly refused to investigate Carolyn.

"This is an insult," he retorted. "An insult to my daughter and me."

No matter how much my father tried to persuade him, he would not agree. It was as if he did not care whether his daughter was in danger. However, his excuses were always to protect his daughter.

What a contradictory father and daughter pair.

In the end, the southern Duke relented and agreed to let the security department conduct a witchcraft inspection on Carolyn. However, it had to be done secretly, and Carolyn couldn't find out.

The Moonlight Festival was the day of the operation, but my father had never said it would be carried out on the float. But, unfortunately, the float parade didn't stop from morning to night, so there was no way for the inspectors to get close to Carolyn.
