Chapter 112
Monica could feel a twitching pain between her brows
Elsie should have gone outside to test the whip. Now, the room was a mess again.
Elsie, belatedly realizing her surroundings, noticed she’d just caused a bit of destruction.
Pat the joy of having her Tiery Whips fully restored drowned out everything else.
She muttered,” thought… I really thought I’d lost it forever,”
Her body trembled slightly. Then, suddenly, the turned and threw herself into Jessica’s arms just as the latter was getting up
She said, “Jessica, thank you, I’m sorry, thank you, h so sorry…”
Jessica was nearly knocked over by the impact.
Ignoring Monica’s slightly exasperated glance, she just shook her head.
Monica didn’t say a word, carefully swept the scattered wood chips off the floor, then quietly signaled the servants to leave.
Elsie cried for a long time. But it wasn’t overp
r getting her whip back. It was because Jessica and Garbisch were genuinely kind people, yet she had hurt Garbach. She’d even scarred his face.
Jessica didn’t say much. She simply waited until Else cried herself out, then smiled and said, “Would you like to try some of our Novigrad pastries? The cook at my house is actually quite skilled”
A piece of pastry was handed over to Elsie.
Elsie took it and started eating while still sniffling, making Jessica feel both helpless and amused.
At last, Elsie calmed down a bit.
Elsie suddenly grabbed Jessica’s hand. “Where did he go?”
“Who? My brother?” Jessica asked
Elsie nodded. “Jessica, take me to find him. I want to apologize to him in person.”
Jessica smiled. “That’s not necessary. As long as there’s no bad blood between you now, it’s enough. He is straightforward and open–minded. He won’t hold a grudge over something like this.”
“But his face.” Monica hesitated.
Jessica said, “It’s just a superficial wound, it’ll heal in time. Besides, he’s a man, Even if he ends up with a faint scar, it’s no big deal. He won’t care.”
Elsie wanted to say that she cared. After all, it was her fault.
She said, “General Garbisch went to the hunting grounds, didn’t he? Malik mentioned it. He said Novigrad is about to hold its Autumn Hunt soon. He wanted to come too, to see how skilled your warriors are at horseback archery. But he doesn’t know if he’ll recover in time.”
Jessica’s heart stirred slightly. “I heard… Prince Malik was injured? How bad is it?”
Ceon had admitted to injuring Malik but hadn’t told her the extent of it.
Elsie replied, “Nothing too serious, just flesh wounds. No damage to bones or tendons. But he’s got quite a few of them, so it’ll be a rough recovery.”

She still didn’t understand what was wrong with Leon. He’d pone and bea
parent reason, leaving kin
Elle said. “Oh right, Leon is at the hunting grounds today too. Jessica, let’s I need to find General Gabisch and apologize:
Jessica hadn’t wanted to go, especially to avoid further entanglement with Lean
But Elsie insisted. In the end, with no other option, she went with Elus
The myal hunting grounds were located on the outskirts, It was spacious and vast. Even if they went, there was no guarantee they’d run inka Klar
Truthfully, Jessica was still a bit worried about her brother’s injury. She hadn’t gotter chance to give him the medicine she’d brought.
The hunting grounds weren’t usually heavily guarded, but with the Autumn Hunt approaching, more soldiers had been posted recently for patrol
Garbisch was in charge of the inspection this time. Since Jessica was his sister, no guards stopped her.
“Jessica, I’ll go ask where General Garbisch is Wait here for a moment,” Elsie said, then walked off
Jessica stood under a tree. Just as she watched Elsie disappear into the distance, a sharp, mocking voice suddenly rang out behind her. “So you have been chasing after him all along. You really have ho shame!”
