Chapter: 562

Even the moonlight did not enter the dark prison.

Marchioness Croychen, leaning against the cold stone wall, forced herself to sleep.

The Marchioness had been in prison for several days in a miserable condition.

Neither her daughter nor her husband came to visit her.

She wanted to contact them, but she had no way.

‘They will definitely save me.’

She held on to that belief, but she wasn’t sure either.

She confessed everything the moment she witnessed the maid being whipped.

Because if she didn’t, she would end up in the same situation as her.

Although she is not from a high-ranking aristocratic family, she has lived a prosperous life.

She could not have imagined that she would be tortured by the lowly.

She had confessed, but in return, she was now unable to get out of prison.

‘But he’ll save me. I am his wife.’

The Marchioness reassured herself with such hope.

Although her biological daughter, Florin was unlikely to help her.

“Who?”

Astelle, who was checking the budget of the Empress Palace, raised her head when she heard the maid’s words.

“Lady Florin is here.”

“Lady Florin?”

Florin was still an unmarried lady, so she couldn’t enter the Empress Palace unless she had special business.

‘Is it because of her mother?’

Astelle didn’t expect her to come here.

She had no reason to come.

“Tell her to come in.”
