They quickly surrounded the area, leaving Lina with no choice but to suppress her rather inappropriate thoughts, straighten her expression, and deal with the aftermath of the assassination attempt.
To her surprise, the person leading the group was the Duke of Anjou. Perhaps because he had rushed through the forest at full speed, his usually pale face was now flushed an unnatural red. He was breathing heavily, a handkerchief pressed against his mouth, and his expression was far from pleasant. Nevertheless, when he saw Lina standing there unharmed, he seemed to breathe a small sigh of relief. He clearly wanted to lose his temper, but after forcibly suppressing his anger, he asked in a low voice, "How are you? Have you been injured?"
