"If I die... you must die with me, Your Highness. That's... the last thing I can do for her."
There was pain in Marquess Lount's eyes as he spoke. But in the end, his grip on Cecilia did not loosen. Cecilia reflexively squirmed to free herself. Cecilia could use her killing technique to kill Marquess Lount. However, if she did, she would arouse Robert's suspicions about her true ability.
The only thing Cecilia could do was try to be a normal person. She squirmed, trying to get free even if it was difficult.
"Your Highness!"
Cecilia's vision was blurry because the oxygen supply to her body was cut off. But Cecilia did not give up. When death was in front of her, her instincts worked hard to find a way for her to survive. Cecilia hit Marquess Lount's chest with her elbow. Once, twice, Marquess Lount still held on. But on the third blow, he finally coughed again and gave Robert time to attack him without hurting Cecilia.
SWOOSH!
"Bow down, Your Highness!"
