Chapter 171 171. Kidnapping, Part VII
Editor: Aelryinth
Feeling as if she had left something behind, she headed for the family lounge of Duke Kiellini, and a servant in a royal uniform approached. "Are you Princess Kiellini?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"Mrs. Raban left a message that she would return to her mansion first, because she was not feeling well. She didn’t know where the princess was, so she couldn’t tell you and returned, so she told me to find you and tell you."
Julietta was surprised at the words of the servant. "Did you think she was too bad?"
"I don’t know. Mrs. Raban said she would send the carriage back, but it’ll be a while since she left. I’ve got a royal carriage ready, so please take it."
"Did my maid go back with her?"
"Yes, the princess. There was no one in the princess’s lounge." He was afraid that Julietta was going back to the lounge, and he stressed that no one was there; he calmly escorted her to the entrance of the outer palace.
Julietta felt strange that Simone had taken Vera back with her. However, she couldn’t think deeply about it because of what had happened in the Prince’s lounge a little while ago. Still, as she reached the entrance to the palace, she quickly caught a servant passing through the hall, just in case. It was to prepare for one situation.
She quickly told the servant to deliver her words to Killian, who had just kicked her out. "If you happen to see Marquis Oswald or Count Adam, tell him that I’m sorry that my aunt was sick and I had to go back to the mansion early. Thankfully, the imperial family prepared a carriage, so I took it."
Julietta then followed the guide out of the palace. At the entrance to the palace was a carriage with patterns of silver and black red, the symbol of Prince Francis. Unable to memorize the patterns of each of the Princes, she thought it was simply another royal carriage, but looked closely at it and tried to remember.
"Leave." As Julieta got into the carriage, the servant closed the door and she heard him giving an order to the driver.
Soon after, listening to the carriage leaving, Julietta recalled what had happened in Prince Killian’s lounge a little while ago. She still felt a throbbing sensation at her waist and sides.
Julietta shook her head hard and tried to forget the strange sensation of the moment. ’What did the Prince think? He knew I was pretending to be the princess, but he asked me to go back without saying anything. Did he think it had nothing to do with him? Did he think it would be advantageous for the jewelry business to just bury it this way?’
She should be glad that she got out of there safely after being caught, but she didn’t feel that way. Feeling sorry and anxious, she stamped her feet in the carriage.
The carriage carrying Julietta who was at a loss as to what to do headed for the Harrods’ mansion as Christine had commanded.
"Huh? Did it arrive?"
While she was thinking otherwise, the carriage stopped and Julietta waited for the carriage door to open. After a while, Julietta laughed as it didn’t open. It suddenly seemed so ridiculous to be used to a mere month of aristocratic life and wait for the door to open as if it were only natural. Since he was a driver of the Imperial Castle, she thought he would not stoop to open the door himself. She decided to go out in person rather than wait until the butler came out and opened the carriage door.
"Huh?" However, she only saw a strange building, not the familiar mansion of the Duke. Julietta approached the driver, suddenly feeling anxious.
When she was about to say to go back to the mansion of the Duke, wondering if the driver had made a mistake, someone behind her put his hand over her mouth. He dragged Julietta and as he forced her into the building a woman waiting there came out. "Why did it take so long?" she demanded
All Julietta’s struggling eyes saw was a woman with a hood pressed deep. The woman spoke nervously, purposely not looking at Julietta. "Hurry up! You’ve been ordered to not let her laugh again, so please treat her harshly. I’ll come back and give you the rest of the money after you are done working."
Julietta stopped struggling to memorize the woman’s face. She had to find out who had kidnapped her.
Eva handed the man the gold coin she was holding. Her eyes met with Princess Kiellini’s. Surprised at the vivid green eyes in the dim room, despite the dim light, she hurried out of the mansion as if she didn’t want to be there as soon as the man received it.
Eup, eup, eup. Julietta shook her face desperately to call out to the woman who was running away, but could not shake the ruthless hands clamped over her mouth.
’Who kidnapped me? Who the hell?’ She had never seen her before. However, looking at the dress and fine hands under the hood, she seemed like a fair-grown aristocrat, a noblewoman.
Julietta couldn’t figure out who the hell kidnapped her as Princess Kiellini, but she soon realized that it wasn’t important now. The woman told the man to treat her harshly. It wasn’t to get something or get a ransom by kidnapping. She could feel the malice intending to destroy her.
Calming herself down, she repeated endlessly, If I go into the tiger’s den, I just need to wake up. Wake up. I haven’t been hiding myself my whole life to end here. Get a hold of yourself. Let’s wake up.
Julieta bit down on the hand blocking her mouth as hard as she could.
"Argh, you bitch!" With all her strength, she tore at the man’s hand, and the man who was holding her shouted in pain. The hand that had blocked her mouth was loosened for a moment, and she bit his finger hard. The man couldn’t hold her any longer, and threw her to the ground.
"Did you bitch go crazy and want to die? I tried to treat you nicely as a noble lady, but you want to die!" The man stepped on Julietta who fell to the ground, and began to kick her. All she could do was curse and kick him.
He crouched in front of Julietta, clutching her hair and drawing her face into the light. "You’re a really good-looking girl, as everyone said. I’m very lucky to have a bitch like you. I think I can only have you once or twice in the given time, but I’ll let you have an unforgettable experience until you die."
A huge man licked the back of his hand, which was still bleeding, and then dragged Julietta by the head, stopping after a few steps. "Hey, noble lady. I was gonna use a bed for fear of your back hurting, but my lower man is angry because he’s in a hurry. Let’s just do it here. One more time would be good for me and for you. If you only have sex with a bunch of aristocrats all your life, you’ll never have the experience of being as ecstatic as tonight. So let’s do it here. Huh?" The man gazed down at the befuddled Julietta.
Julietta came to her senses at the man’s words as she was rolling on the ground with the pain and shock from having been hit for the first time in her life. As she raised her head to stop the man, thinking that this was not the time, she saw him coming with his pants down. She screamed with disgust. "Yipe, it’s dirty! Ugh, I feel like throwing up."
The man was briefly embarrassed by Julietta who was sickened and disgusted, not screaming with fear. "Dirty? I washed myself three days ago!"
"Ugh, I served the Prince’s bath, but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it straight in the eye. Oh, it’s dirty! U-we-wek!"
The man’s face frowned as Julietta repeatedly retched. "Do you think I’m that stupid, that you’ll be able to run away by diverting me like that? Don’t be funny."
The man straightened Julietta’s upper body as she struggled, and then unhesitatingly stripped off her top.
"What’s this again?" The man saw the cravat which had been tied by Killian, gave up releasing the tie behind her back, and immediately lifted her skirt instead, because the tie was wrapped tightly and not untied.
"What are you doing?"
The man laughed as Julietta was struck with abhorrence and shouted. "What do you think I’m going to do?"
