Frowning at Rozalia, who was looking outside with a puzzled expression, the Viscount casually uttered words.
“I think it’s time to leave for today.”
Worried, Rozalia stared at the Viscount’s face.
Although his condition was good now, when he wasn’t feeling well, the Viscount couldn’t even find the kitchen in the spacious mansion.
That’s why most of the mansion’s rooms were abandoned, and only the Viscount’s room was being used.
“Grandfather, is it okay for you to have dinner alone?”
“Do you think I’m disabled? Go home already!”
Knowing well that the Viscount’s irritable behavior was just a pretense not to reveal his vulnerable side, Rozalia lowered her head without saying anything and took her unyielding steps away.
Whether she left or not, Rozalia felt uneasy watching the hunched back of the absent-minded Viscount, who continued playing chess. Looking at his somewhat lonely figure, Rozalia thought that she probably shouldn’t mention the Viscountess’s matter for a while and decided to leave the room.
With a heavy heart, as she left the Viscount’s mansion as expected, she saw Klaus in front of the carriage, visibly startled.
“Your Excellency, what’s going on here?”
With a puzzled expression, Rozalia asked, and Klaus replied nonchalantly, “Since I happened to pass by, I thought I’d stop by and give you a ride.”
Rozalia, perplexed by Klaus’s words, scrutinized the carriage. It seemed like it had been at the window for at least 30 minutes…
Glancing at the carriage, she noticed the coachman yawning, looking tired. It felt like the carriage had been waiting for quite a while, but Rozalia decided not to dwell on it too much and replied confidently, “You didn’t have to, but thank you; I’ll gladly accept the ride.”
Saying that, Rozalia boarded the carriage, and Klaus followed with a dry expression.
As expected, the inside of the carriage was filled with silence.
Suddenly, the situation that had occurred in the study a few days ago came to mind. The awkward silence continued, and the strange atmosphere from that time seemed to resurface.
Should we have just gone separately…?
Lost in thought and gazing out of the window in an awkward mood, Klaus surprisingly spoke first.
“You’ve been commuting to the Viscount’s mansion almost every day lately.”
After saying that, Klaus, staring intently at Rozalia’s face, continued with his words.
“Even my son doesn’t go that often.”
Although Klaus’s tone was not particularly warm, given his personality, Rozalia, who didn’t know Klaus’s intentions, tightened her lips uncomfortably.
“Are you fulfilling all the duties assigned at the Duke’s residence?”
With Rozalia’s straightforward question, Klaus fell silent.
Even he didn’t understand why an annoyed tone had slipped out.
Perhaps it was because of the thought that, due to becoming the guardian of Antonio, the Viscount, he might leave the Duke’s residence and go to the Viscount’s mansion?
As he contemplated this far, Klaus, feeling increasingly uncomfortable, furrowed his eyebrows.
As long as he repaid the debts, what did it matter where he went?
Of course, considering his ability to repay debts, he was indeed an attractive talent, but this was just a perspective of seeking talent.
That’s how it had to be.
Yes. Antonio’s sudden emotional surge was just a delusion.
While he hadn’t approached women to share emotions and intertwine bodies, thinking of it as a waste of time, he was still a physically healthy man.
Meeting Rozalia would make that clear. He was ready to admit the emotions he felt towards her as much as he felt them.
Everything will become clear when Antonio’s younger sister, Rozalia, is encountered again.
“How’s Rozalia doing?”
To Klaus’s sudden question, Rozalia was momentarily taken aback.
“Rozalia…? Well, um…”
Avoiding eye contact, Rozalia looked out the window.
At that moment, Klaus, who had cleared his throat, calmly continued speaking.
“Considering what you and Rozalia have been through, and faithfully repaying the Duke’s debts…”
Unexpectedly, Klaus’s lengthy words left Rozalia puzzled as she looked at him with confusion.
Seemingly uncomfortable with her gaze, Klaus, avoiding eye contact, finally uttered the words he had in mind.
“It would be nice if the three of us could have a meal together.”
“What…??”

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
