Grand Duchess summoned me again after that horrendous punishment. My back was still painful and every step had me frowned in agony. What would she do after this? Was this not enough?
'Why are you frowning, Ramuja! This is what you choose!'
I kept that in my mind whenever I thought about this injustice. It was my own stupidity and carelessness that I was entangled with Young Lord. I could've been invisible and led a peaceful life in this mansion, but I jumped to this tiger den myself.
'Strangely, I regret nothing.'
When I saw Young Lord crying for me, I regretted nothing. I was still unsure whether he was just toying with me as usual. But deep down, I wished that he was not. I wished that tears were genuine.
I knew I was nothing but a slave, but was it wrong for me to have a hopeful thinking? To have someone laugh for me, cried for me, thinking about me would be wonderful.
