Chapter 39
Giselle was still crying. Judging by the continuous sound of cloth rustling, she was clearly struggling.
It was easy to guess why she couldn’t escape. Raven was holding Giselle’s body down.
No matter who saw it, it was r*pe. Too forcefully, he ignored Giselle’s will.
The fact that r*pe was happening in the room, far from love being connected, was too shocking. But what was even more shocking than that was Raven’s voice and attitude.
Venya had served Raven for quite a long time. In all the years she had watched him, there had not been a single moment when he spoke and acted as coercively as he did now.
Raven beyond the door was so unfamiliar that she would have believed it if someone said there was an entirely different person with only the same voice.
‘This is really the love that the Miss wants? Is love with His Highness really being connected?’
While Venya sank into confusion, a pained moan finally flowed from beyond the door.
“Hn, mmngh…”
“Haah…”
Giselle half sobbed as though in pain. In the rough breathing that followed, she could not feel even the slightest emotion of reason or consideration, as if it were the mating of beasts.
At that moment, Venya immediately left the place.
How many hours had passed? After a long while, Raven opened the door and came out, then suddenly left without even greeting Count and Countess Vellasi.
The carriage that had appeared while plunging the atmosphere of the mansion into unease in an instant left the mansion just as quickly, along with the noisy cries of horses.
Venya stood in front of the window and looked at the back of the carriage growing distant with a complicated gaze.
‘Did the Master really violate Miss Giselle?’
Judging by the circumstances, it was certain. But perhaps because she had not seen it directly with her own two eyes, it was difficult to believe. Even more so because she knew Raven’s nature well.
The Raven she knew was not the kind of person who would ever treat a woman carelessly. He was an extremely generous master, and he was not a debauched man who enjoyed playing around with beauties tucked at his side.
That was why she simply couldn’t believe what had happened in Giselle’s room.
‘Could there be some kind of mistake? I must have misunderstood something. How could he force the person he loves, like that…’
At last, as if shaking off the voice that kept echoing around her ears, Venya shook her head hard. It was then that someone knocked on the door.
Knock, knock.
“Venya, may I come in?”
“Ah, yes!”
Only after hearing the voice calling her did Venya snap back to her senses and open the door she had locked. In front of the door stood Anna, whose eyes were tinged red.
Venya’s startled eyes grew round. Seeing her, Anna smiled awkwardly with a face that had stiffened and did not move well.
“I’m sorry. You said you were resting today because you weren’t feeling well, but I came to find you. It’s nothing else. The Miss said she wants to entrust her bath attendance to you. Could you go to her?”
“…The Miss asked for me?”
Venya asked back in bewilderment.
Helping with the bath was not her work. That was the role of the dedicated maids, including Anna.
Perhaps Anna was also aware of that, because she gave a slightly troubled smile.
“Yes, she said that if it were you… it would probably be alright. I couldn’t do it, and neither could Maya or Nova. I’m sorry for asking a sick person to do something like this. But is there any way you could?”
Anna was sincerely sorry for making such a sudden request. She seemed embarrassed because she had never expected she would end up entrusting her own work to someone else like this.
“Understood. I’ll go.”
After thinking it over, Venya answered resolutely.
In any case, she had already wanted to confirm what had happened inside the room. She wanted to ask whether Raven had truly forced her, whether this was truly what Giselle wanted, and whether this was truly the process of love being fulfilled.
At her words, faint relief appeared on Anna’s stiff expression.
“Thank you, Venya. I won’t forget this favor. Miss is in the bathroom now, so you can go straight there. She isn’t that difficult a person, so as long as you wipe her body well with a towel, there shouldn’t be any major problem. And…”
Anna, who had been telling Venya the points to be careful of, suddenly trailed off. Venya had been listening carefully to her words, but a large question mark appeared on her face.
After seeming to watch her mood for a moment, Anna soon lowered her voice and added.
“…Prepare yourself so you won’t be too surprised when you see it.”
