Yuri Hsien heard Lapine’s voice yelling at Kendall that it would be fine, and thought:
‘How could she do that?’
In Yuri Hsien’s opinion, Lapine was a typical naive girl. Raised by Kendall since she was young, she had been mindless, enjoying everything in Windsor after her marriage to Ulgen.
[Lapine, I want that! Can I have it?] [What’s up with you? I’m Windsor. But you don’t even greet me?] [Count Venrail? That’s lower than Windsor.]She was a reckless girl who never learned noble manners, and because of that, Lapine was almost isolated in noble society.
It didn’t matter that the name Windsor was attached to Lapine’s name. No, it would be more correct to say that Windsor’s status was gradually falling to match Lapine’s level.
Whenever Yuri Hsien heard how Lapine was tarnishing Windsor’s reputation outside through Andersen, who was driven out by Kendall, her mind was reeling.
Dozens of ancestral masters and hundreds of family members valued and protected the name Windsor more than their lives. It was being ruined by an outsider who did not even know its true weight.
‘Others might have enjoyed Lapine’s recklessness.’
Those who praised Windsor in front but secretly hoped for its fall.
‘How pleasurable it must have been to watch Windsor selfdestruct because of the daughter.’
There must have been some who regretted it, but they didn’t even open their mouths after Ulgen disappeared.
‘So I knew well that Lapine was even more rampant…’
She knew that Lapine’s abuse towards the servants was worse than the abuse towards herself. She thought Lapine’s unreasonable behavior was outrageous. But was it arrogance?
‘How can she do that to even her mother?’
Even if she was caught redhanded, it wouldn’t be like that. A man wouldn’t even do that. Yuri Hsien inwardly clicked her tongue. The more she knew Kendall’s mother and daughter, the more absurd they seemed.
As the situation seemed to be concluded, Yuri Hsien quickly approached Ulgen.
“Father, are you okay?”
“Yes… I’m fine.”
Ulgen finally replied with a trembling voice as if he had grasped the situation. Yuri Hsien, feeling both sorry and pitiful for Ulgen who had faced a harsh situation as soon as he arrived, tightly hugged him.
“You must have been startled.”
Yuri Hsien whispered. Ulgen quietly stood and slowly shook his head.
It would be a lie to say he wasn’t startled. He almost died just now. Without memory and unknowingly, he almost became the same as that melted marble.
The fact that his heart, facing Yuri Hsien, was hammering is true. But strangely, in a way, he felt relieved.
‘It’s like… a diseased tooth has been pulled.’
He didn’t know what that feeling exactly was due to a lack of memory, but he had a vague thought like that. It seemed like a piece of a puzzle that had been badly misaligned had been fit.
“Rather, I feel like it turned out well. Instead of constantly worrying about that woman, I think it’s better that it ended like this earlier…”
“Father…”
Yuri Hsien, realizing Ulgen’s words were not to comfort her but were sincere, felt heavyhearted. Ulgen’s fervent expression could not be false.
‘Maybe Father was really brainwashed by Kendall?’
She didn’t know Kendall could use magic, but the strangely glowing golden pupils that Cali covered, Yuri Hsien saw clearly too.
‘Now something makes sense.’
Ulgen, who was so in love with his wife that he begged others to stop him in public, loved his wife Lillian to the extreme. After losing his wife Lillian, he poured all that love into Yuri Hsien.
‘That’s why Father forcibly remarried without proper consultation with me… So that was it.’
At the time, Wergen was like a moth jumping into the flame. Not every marriage has to be consummated by Iheta Mountain, but the marriage with Kendali was in no way beneficial to Windsor, whom Wergen cherished second only to Yuri Hsien.
“I swore in front of my mother’s grave that I would do my best not to feel my mother’s absence.”
Marrying Kendali was something that went against Wergen’s beliefs.
Furthermore, the carriage accident that befell Wergen. That day, Wergen had no plans to cross such an unstable mountain by carriage. It was the day of the regular meeting with the nobles.
“But you said you had a promise with Kendali, and you volunteered to go over that mountain to pick the blooming flower.”
It was absurd, even in retrospect.
Yuri Hsien was lost in thought for a moment when she heard Andersen instructing the servants to clean the floor.
“Hurry and move. This is none other than the place where our great lord of Windsor is staying.”
“Yes, we will restore it right away!”
Andersen, although a dismissed butler, had managed Windsor for a long time, so the experienced servants greatly complied with his instructions.
Yuri Hsien, who had come out of Wergen’s arms, inadvertently looked outside the door, and Daisy was standing there.
