Don't Trust the Heroine

CHAPTER 6

"Speaking of which, why is the young miss willing to go this far for a mere orphan?"

"I thought that indulging in the client's private matters is forbidden? Did the business integrity of the Stained Ravens plummet?"

"Ah, I apologize. I was just surprised. Alright then, should I take care of it right away?"

"....Yes. But the orphanage will close soon, and the government will take control of it for the time being."

The process and administrative procedures of finding new orphanages to accept the children would take a long time. Therefore, Lanthan's orphanage had to be placed under the direct control of the government office.

It was difficult to approach Suzanne directly because a government official was protecting her. He took a liking to her and even gifted her a brooch once.

She was planning on taking measures to move the orphanage to areas under the Rodenherg's jurisdiction.

"Hey. No matter how high the nobles' rank is, our organization prefers not to collide with the imperial government. If you request for us to 'kill' her, we'll do it later."

"...."

Madenna bit her lower lip and slowly said, "Enough chit-chat. Will you accept the request or not?"

"I'll serve you, milady. Just send us the amount that's written there, and I'll send you the bill later."

"Alright."

"Magnificent! I hope we can work again in the future, Countess."

Jack disappeared out of the window, just like how he entered. He left extravagantly in an exaggerated manner.

Madenna closed the window and flopped onto her bed.

She wanted to live as far away from Suzanne as she could.

However, judging from Suzanne's nature, even if she didn't receive any support, she would always try to use others to satisfy her desires.

First of all, Madenna would keep her under surveillance to check if she was doing anything dangerous.

'I don't want to risk it unless she does something directly to me. But if she acts as she did before my return...'

Madenna was filled with determination.

She had a lot of work to do if she didn't want to repeat those catastrophic incidents.

She had to change the future.

Farren had deep wounds, but they soon recovered after getting treatment from the doctor.

The doctor untied the bandages that had been wrapped around Farren's face.

Madenna had seen his face before her return, but she was still surprised to see his handsome features.

The 12-year-old child possessed a beauty that could catch anyone's eyes.

The doctor was also surprised; this was his first time seeing Farren's uninjured face.

"Are there any more problems...?" Madenna asked anxiously, studying the doctor's expression.

The doctor shook his head and continued the treatment.

"There won't be any more problems, milady. As long as you don't forget to apply the prescribed ointment once a day, the remaining marks will disappear before long."

"Great, thank you."

After the doctor stepped out, Farren slowly touched his face.

He might have felt a little stuffy because of the bandage.
