My Fiancée Hates Me novel Chapter 68

Garett walked me back to my dorms while holding my hand. We parted a few ways before that, and Garett gave me a light peck on my forehead.

"Let's ride together in my carriage," Garett said.

"Yes," I answered him.

I went towards my dorm. My doorknob was perfectly aligned for some reason. I usually left my doorknob slightly unaligned before leaving to make notice if anyone came and tampered with my room. That set went missing from my room during that time at Kaya Ouchi's judgement day, so I have to be careful about surprises.

Today, I definitely felt it.

There was a presence in my room. I do not want to alert authorities. It is better if things are settled quietly.

I opened the door and threw in my scarf. I then pulled my dagger and pushed the assailant towards the wall and held a dagger by his neck.

"My Lady..."

"Vance?"

"Yes..."

I removed my dagger from his throat and closed my bedroom door.

"Would you like some tea?" I offered.

"After all of that?" Vance asked as he held his throat. "Some tea would be nice..."

After I made him some tea, I sat on my bed. I then loosened up my clothes and took off my coat.

"Why are you in my room?"

"I had something to discuss with you. There are suspicious movements around Kaya Ouchi."

"Suspicious movements? I did not think it was over...Could it be because of Prince Erik's birthday party?"

"She has been gathering followers of her father Baron Otis and rebels of the kingdom behind the scenes."

"Rebels...Are they the same group from the first cycle?"

"I believe so...I have written a list of the names I remembered from my execution and some descriptions and drawings of their faces," he said as he handed me the list. "I believe that this is more than half of them on there."

I took a look at the list of names and the faces depicted.

"As I thought, I know all of them...I can probably guess accurately about the rest of them."
