Upon the returning question, Agnes cautiously asked the noble.
“Will you hurt me?”
“What are you talking about?”
“If I say no… will you hurt me?”
Even if there was only one visible choice, Agnes needed hope.
The hope that her future, following this noble, would not be painful.
“…”
Meanwhile, the gazes of two people, unaware of Agnes’s inner turmoil, were directed at the twitching Tamber.
Especially, Jed looked at him with eyes as if looking at trash.
‘Anna told me not to deal with child abusers.’
He seemed to have not only tried to sell the child but also hit her.
The noble who’s in decent health but beats a small child. Why not work productively instead?
Behind Jed, who was disgusted by the pitifulness, the conversation between the noble and Agnes continued.
“If you say no, I won’t hurt you.”
“…Really?”
“I swear.”
“…Then I’ll follow you.”
“Good.”
The noble, seemingly indifferent to Agnes’s dirty appearance, picked her up and turned around.
“Lo, look here! Noble Sir!”
Finally, unable to contain his impatience, Tamber shouted.
He was more afraid of the debt, 100 times his 100 Dergel, than the noble.
He could not sit idly by with his eyes wide open on a pile of debt.
The noble spoke in a low voice without even glancing at him.
“Jed.”
“Yes. I’ll take care of it and follow you.”
Jed approached Tamber as if he had been waiting.
The noble carrying Agnes walked towards the carriage parked nearby, and the street was filled with a thudding sound and Tamber’s scream.
Agnes, praying to leave this place quickly, was stiff and tensed in the noble’s arms.
(This is a time separator.)
Inside the jolting carriage.
The noble looked at the little girl sitting across.
Feet suspended in the air, upright waist, hunched shoulders, hands that did not leave her thighs as if glued.
“People might think I’m going to eat you.”
At the noble’s words, Agnes stiffened even more.
She had been careful even breathing, lest she disturb him, and now she could not breathe at all after hearing that.
“…”
Under her disheveled hair, Agnes’s face, unseen, turned redder.
The noble glanced at her and grabbed both of her cheeks with one hand.
“Ugh.”
The breath she had been holding burst out through her lips, now resembling a goldfish.
Her face turned red for a different reason, thinking of the strange noise she made.
Her cheeks, soft like dough, were stuck to the noble’s hand.
‘Why is this happening…….’
Agnes glanced at the noble’s face.
The noble did not let go of her gaze. With a blank expression, it was impossible to read the noble’s thoughts.
“Um…….”
When a flustered Agnes called out to the noble in a crawling voice, only then did his hand fall away.
The noble briefly looked at his hand, then spat out a word.
“Call me Duke.”
It seemed that he had corrected her address, as she had called him by an improper title.
At the sound, Agnes’s heart thumped loudly.
‘He was indeed a Duke.’
She had suspected it from the first time she saw him.
A tangled aura that seemed to spread from the noble’s heart.
It wasn’t large enough to cover half of his upper body, but it was turbid and dark, as if it had not been purified for a long time.
The fact that she could see that aura meant that the man was a mage.
There were only four families where a mage could be born.
“Is it Serdiya, Ludwig, or Hibetzman?”
At Agnes’s question, tremblingly spoken, emotion appeared in the noble’s eyes for the first time.
It was interest.
Seemingly lacking even basic home education, she rattles off the names of the families without hesitation at the mention of a Duke?
Why she didn’t mention Gerwer, he didn’t know, but he didn’t want to hear the sinister writer’s surname, so it wasn’t very important.
“You are smart for your age. It’s Ludwig. Blake Ludwig.”
He deliberately added his full name because he was curious about the child’s reaction.
If she knew the Duke’s family, she would know his name too.
A name famous as a murderer across the Loksha Empire. How will it come out?
‘I hope she doesn’t cry.’
He found noise distasteful.
But contrary to Blake’s concern, the child muttered the family’s name once and just nodded her head.
Disappointed at her lackluster response, in that instant, the child asked him a question.
“…Duke, may I ask you just one question?”
This time, she properly used the title of Duke.
‘She knows to ask permission for a question.’
Whether she was quick to learn, or contrary to appearances, a child who had received education.
Though it didn’t show on his face, Blake’s interest in the child was growing deeper.
When he nodded his head to indicate that she could ask her question, the child opened her mouth.
“What happened to my greatuncle…?”
“Was that man earlier your greatuncle?”
“…Yes.”
Blake’s eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn’t known they were related.
Worrying about the person who was a child abuser and a trafficker as if he was a greatuncle.
“Your greatuncle is—”
Blake paused for a moment.
He had sent Jed, so that trash would be lying in a hospital bed for a few months.
By now, he would have received a suitable amount of money for compensation and hush money, and would have stamped an agreement not to look for the child again.
‘What should I tell her?’
Blake looked at the child.
“I made sure he can’t appear before you again.”
“…Did he die?”
The voice in which the child said this was emotionless to the extreme.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
