Knowing that she was going to attend a gathering at night, Johanna picked a gown from the walk-in closet and began tailoring it.

As she still needed to do her hair, she did not put on the gown so soon.

At four in the evening, Johanna and Zephyr left the castle by car. It took the car over half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. Dozens of minutes later, they finally arrived at a district.

The car came to a stop in front of a tattoo shop. After Zephyr came down from the car, he opened the car door for Johanna.

Once Johanna came out, Zephyr held her waist and led her into the tattoo parlor. At the same time, the bodyguards that came down from the other cars barricaded around the tattoo shop.

There were several people in the shop—men and women. The moment they saw Zephyr enter, they bowed politely before him.

“Mr. Zephyr.”

Zephyr pushed Johanna into a seat. “Tattoo her.”

Johanna knew that the Carlo family's insignia was a crow, and Zephyr had a crow on his left arm as well. However, she did not want a disgusting tattoo like that on her skin.

“I'm allergic to anesthesia,” Johanna said, trying to make herself seem fragile. “Can I just have a tattoo sticker?”

“I have to brand what's mine.” Zephyr brushed his finger across her cheek. “If you're allergic to the anesthesia, I'll tell them not to give you a shot.”

He then leaned closer to Johanna and said, “Why don't we do it while they tattoo you? That way, you won't feel the pain, hm?”

Sickened, Johanna shoved the man away.

Zephyr laughed and took a seat on the couch before checking his messages on his phone.

Meanwhile, the tattoo artist pulled up Johanna's sleeve to sterilize her arm before injecting topical anesthesia into the part of her skin where the tattoo was going to be. After that, the others came over to do Johanna's hair.

The sky outside the tattoo parlor gradually darkened.

Right then, Zephyr received a call.

After he picked it up, he walked over to glance at Johanna's arm. The image of a crow was already half-done.

Zephyr leaned over to kiss Johanna's ear before telling her, “I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first. The bodyguards will send you to Kaiser Villa later.”

“All right.” Johanna had been hoping that he would leave since a long time ago.

Once Zephyr was gone, Johanna no longer felt suffocated. When her eyes scanned the area, she noticed two bodyguards in the tattoo parlor.

She had no chance to run at all.

Half an hour later, a crow tattoo was tattooed onto Johanna's left arm. It was striking, and the sight of it made her nauseous.

When Johanna stood up and grabbed the bag on her way to the dressing room, she paused in her tracks and turned to get a pair of scissors from the tattoo artist.

The tattoo artist hesitated.
