I stared at the Captain and Ted, tilting my head quizzically. However, they didn’t answer. With a puzzled expression, I spoke to them again, “Why, did everyone know about that rumor?”
That’s when, from behind, Deadly sister muttered in a low voice, “How could anyone not know about that rumor?”
“…What?”
Upon hearing that, I swallowed hard and looked at Deadly sister.
Was the day finally here to uncover the truth about Dad’s rumor? What if our dad was truly as wicked as the rumor suggested?
Around that time, Bench sister chuckled and said, “Where in the Mirmod family could there be someone without such notoriety?”
Haha, she laughed and kicked her foot once. The candlestick on the table fell to the floor. I stared at the scene blankly and pursed my lips.
“…Sister, you look as cool as a giant elephant.”
Deadly sister’s pupils seemed to shake slightly, but I couldn’t see it accurately.
I put the neatly folded napkin on my lap and concentrated on eating my food. Deadly sister, Bench sister, Captain, and Ted, all seemed to be looking at me. I kept eating, lifted my head, and said, “Why are you all making those expressions?”
“Haha…”
“Ted, do you have something to say?”
“…No, I don’t. Lady Sian’s words are correct. Matthias…”
He looked at me in silence, then opened his mouth hesitantly.
“Treat Lady Sian well. He’s a better father than anyone.”
Everyone nodded as if there were no objections.
It was a contrasting attitude compared to when I mentioned, “There’s a rumor that our dad is a fearsome tiger!” earlier. I chuckled, tried to ignore the strange sensation running down my spine.
That evening.
Ted and the Captain sat facing each other.
After the Captain said aggressively to Ted, “I have something to say,” they occupied an empty reception room in the mansion and began their one-on-one discussion.
“What’s going on?”
To Ted’s considerate question, the Captain twitched his lips and eyebrows simultaneously.
Just as Ted, slightly bewildered, was about to ask again, the Captain’s expression crumbled.
“Even though Matthias said not to mention it, shouldn’t we at least give her some hints? Honestly, I didn’t think much at first, but after getting close to Sian and feeling affection for her, I started feeling guilty.”
“…Are you saying the rumor about Matthias is true? That he’s a murderer, walking down a path stained with blood, and should be told to Sian?”
The Captain’s eyes sparkled.
“Yes! That’s right! Everyone knows about Matthias, but ironically, the only one who doesn’t know is his daughter, Sian. It’s like making a fool out of her! Because he’s a knight, doesn’t he value the truth? How about telling Sian even a little?”
The Captain was so passionate that the room felt stuffy.
But Ted couldn’t respond to his zeal. With a wry smile, he shook his head.
“I don’t recommend it. After all, Matthias told us not to say anything.
If we really delve into it, the story of Matthias being kind seemed like a “white lie” for Sian. However, as he entered his teens, a growing sense of guilt accumulated in his heart. He began to think that everyone bowing to Matthias’ power and deceiving Sian was wrong. The arrow was directed at Ted, who, despite being an adult, was deceiving Sian in this way.
“…Being a knight, is he submitting to power? At least, Ted, you knew from the beginning that this lie was wrong!”
Upon Ted’s words, a sense of betrayal appeared in the Captain’s eyes. The Captain seemed to understand that all of this was an act of deceiving Sian.
“You’re just another underling of power, aren’t you?”
When Ted remained silent, the Captain quickly concluded that everyone around Sian was submitting to Matthias’ power, unable to say anything to Sian.
“You can’t hide it forever. No matter how much Matthias Mirmod says. And is it even logical that Sian knows nothing about Matthias?”
At that moment, Ted, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up.
“Captain, do you always think truth is the top priority?”
“Of course! Knowing the truth is more important than anything else!”
Looking at the Captain with that response, Ted smiled quietly.
This energetic boy had been feeling uneasy about lying to Sian, who had saved him.
Now it was his turn to evolve his sense of guilt.
Ted spoke up quietly, “Captain, may I say something?”
“…Yes, go ahead.”
“Matthias Mirmod does not want to reveal his true identity to Lady Sian.”
“That’s right!”
“Do you know why?”
The Captain, who had been passionately expressing his thoughts, now wore a perplexed expression.
He couldn’t understand why Ted was asking him such a question.
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“Ted, ask again. Why doesn’t Matthias tell Lady Sian that he is a murderer?”
“That’s…!”
Staring at the speechless Captain, Ted continued, “Originally, one doesn’t want to show their flaws to the person they love.”
Ted fully understood Matthias’ feelings, as he, too, had someone he loved.
However, whether the Captain could understand his feelings properly was another question.

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.

The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
