26. Unexpected Guests (2)

It was not difficult for Her Highness, the royal Empress, to destroy their family business by convincing the rest of the aristocrats to do it too.

“That’s why——”

The man paused and avoided her gaze before making an outlandish request.

“Ariad, can you ask the Empress for help?”

“What?”

“I want to stay in contact with you. I can’t help but do this since you keep ignoring my request. Ariadne, you’re the only one I can trust. You might think I’m shameless, but….”

A cold, ragged hand that seemed to have suffered a lot grabbed So-hee’s right hand neatly settled on the bed.

“Please.”

So-hee sighed inwardly as she watched the old man’s closed wrinkled eyes.

How could she explain to him that the damned Empress did all of this because of Ariad?

Despite trying her best to prevent the deaths of the Pearsons due to treason, another rough and muddy road had formed in front of her path.

When she didn’t respond, the man opened his eyes and gave her a hopeful look.

So-hee felt frustrated, seeing Ariad’s father in anguish.

This development had dug deeply into the weakest part of So-hee.

Her parents had abandoned her when she was young, but now, she was forced to make a promise she couldn’t keep.

“Yes. I’ll ask the Empress for help but don’t expect too much.”

She would be lucky if Her Highness didn’t curse her after bringing it up.

As her future in this web novel started to darken, the ray of hope shining on the old man’s face sitting in front of her made her release a good-natured laugh.

It felt rather awkward when the corners of her mouth were shaking.

The second visitor came in before the old man had left.

Fortunately, both her curiosity and confusion quickly subsided.

“Hello, Ariad. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Rosaline of the Eurecia family. This is my sister, Erica.”

“What?”

The wicked women in her webnovel expressed a gentle smile.

The orange-haired women in identical buns smelt of strong perfume, making her eyes water.

As So-hee coughed, Rosaline hurriedly pulled a tissue from the table.

“Here you go.”

She smiled faintly as she handed her the tissue.

Where did this pleasant behavior come from?

What was it?

Her novel’s plot development was getting harder to predict.

So-hee took the tissue as she continued to contemplate.

“What’s the matter?” She asked.

Erica held out a hand from behind her back.

She was holding a yellow notebook.

“I brought this to you because I thought I should tell you immediately. You have no idea how shocked we were after reading this.”

It must be something scary.

From her statement alone, this notebook wouldn’t seem to bode well for Ariad.

So-hee took the notebook and flipped over the tattered covers.

The tension which heightened as she read every page cooled down.

The story was pretty familiar.

When they noticed Ariad losing interest, the two sisters shouted urgently.

“Ariad. If you go a little further, you’ll see something amazing!”

After skimming through it, So-hee closed the notebook.

She was aware that Kelly owned this.

Now, she understood why they were making such a fuss.

Most of the diary’s content was about Joshua and her feelings for him.

She wrote about the garments Joshua had donned on a particular day, the expression he wore, and Kelly’s desperate determination to be more courageous.

Sohee got a glimpse of Kelly’s feelings growing as the neat letters filled the pages.

Ariad might think this was a disaster but So-hee, who had written the diary herself from her own words, felt  her heart go numb.

“I saw all of it.” She said casually as she handed the diary back to them.

The two sisters’ golden eyes were filled with confusion.

“What?”

“I saw it. She can write very well, don’t you think?”

Of course, she could write very well!

Ho ho ho ho ho~

So-hee smiled proudly at how delicate her handwriting looked in Kelly’s notebook.

Both women had strange looks on their faces.

Rosaline bit her lower lip and spoke. “Well, you read it properly, right? Don’t you think Kelly is a fox? How dare she challenge you of the crown prince’s affection when she doesn’t even deserve it! Are you sure you’re alright?”

Did they think that Kelly’s enemy was her comrade?

They might have noticed Kelly’s rising status after receiving the Empress’ approval.

That was why they were desperate to have more allies.

“Well, I’m fine. I can’t help but like her as well.”

Kelly was no threat to her because Joshua was definitely into Ariad.

Rosaline and Erica spoke to her with a light and detached tone as they gossiped about other people’s affairs.

Still, disappointment was a black cloud above her head as she left the room while limping.

So-hee fell on the bed when the door closed and hugged her soft blankets tightly.

“I’m sleepy. What’s wrong with me these days?”

Before she knew it, her eyelids grew heavy until they closed.

She lifted her thick blanket over her head and thought about going back to sleep.

*KNOCK*

*KNOCK*

It sounded like it came from the window.

Her hand holding the blanket floated in mid-air as her third guest showed himself at the window.

After confirming the unexpected visitor’s identity, So-hee’s nostrils flared.
