CHAPTER 36 (1). A SIN THAT DESERVES DEATH

"Knight Rafaella? What is the matter?"

The only two people that could approach her like this were Rafaella and Petronilla. Rafaella noticed this, and lowered her pose and spoke.

"I apologize profusely, Your Majesty. I have committed a sin that deserves death."

"Rafaella."

Patrizia already had a feeling she knew what Rafaella wanted to talk about when she walked towards her. However, my goodness, to have this kind of reaction. Patrizia spoke to her with a serious but gentle voice.

"I know what you are about to say. But it is not your fault. I was the one that said I wanted to be alone, and it was nearly impossible for you to find me in that kind of situation. If it is about that, then there is no need for you to apologize."

"But… I should have followed Your Majesty, even secretly. That is what someone should do as your knight."
