Oliver, who was in Delphinium’s atelier, muttered.
No matter how much he thought, the wind was making his head throb, so he was habitually pacing around the atelier. Due to his hasty steps, his shoes made a clattering sound as they hit the floor.
‘No damn letter.’
Of course, it hadn’t been long since Hindley entered the count’s estate.
However, after introducing him with all the courtesy, he didn’t expect his ‘trivial’ request to be completely ignored.
Last time, Aria went as far as abandoning her pride, stopping Hindley as soon as Bentley’s class ended.
“Lord Lothern, do you have something to say to me?”
“Yes? What would you like to say?”
Hindley Lothern, in response, tilted his head for a moment, then began talking about his sons.
“Bentley is a very exemplary and intelligent student. Even at the age of ten, he easily reads literature from the secondary education curriculum. Although he has talent in math as well, he is particularly interested in subjects like politics and history…”
With a feeling of frustration, Oliver listened to his lengthy praise.
He could tolerate hearing about his eldest son to some extent. However, it became difficult the moment Morgan’s story came up.
“Morgan hasn’t done his homework this time, so when I asked him, it seems he hasn’t grasped the concept of multiplication itself yet. For students like him, it’s more effective to memorize the multiplication table through memorization-focused learning rather than understanding…”
“Enough, enough. Besides that, what I asked you last time.”
“What did you ask last time?”
Hindley looked completely dumbfounded, blinking his eyes as if he didn’t remember.
“Did Count Delphinium ask me for something? I don’t recall…”
Oliver’s patience was cut off. In situations like this, it was a more clever strategy to smile and gain favor with the other person while asking for what you wanted.
“Well, well. Aside from that, I asked you last time.”
“Ah! You mean that.”
As he spoke, Hindley finally seemed to remember, smiling as if he had just thought of it.
“But other than Miss Bonita, I haven’t had much chance to encounter anyone. So, I don’t know well?”
“…Huh?”
“But still, she didn’t seem like a bad person. She laughed a lot.”
“You damn child.”
No wonder he felt like turning his insides out.
Oliver regretted choosing the person in the first place.
‘I usually don’t make such mistakes.’
He was fundamentally a very strict and rational man. That’s how, seven years ago, he was able to use Aria to quietly snatch away his elder brother’s daughter and deceive everyone.
‘I was too hasty.’
Yes, he was excessively flustered.
The appearance of the lady, whom he believed he had completely removed, had already shaken his mind.
He never imagined that Aria wouldn’t kill the baby and would secretly hide it in the countryside.
He swept his black hair aside as if it were a habit.
‘Well, it’s okay. Even without that stupid home tutor’s help.’
He hadn’t put much expectation on Hindley Lothern in the first place.
He just planted it as a way to keep an eye on trends. It was inevitable since there wasn’t enough time to infiltrate his loyal servant into the Duke’s estate to use them.
‘I’m actually expecting something else.’
Fortunately, Bonita’s birthday was approaching, which happened to be perfect timing. Oliver, recalling the teddy bear he had given to his niece as a gift, soon burst into laughter.
‘If I had properly left it in her room, it would be about time for it to have some effect.’
Similar timeframe.
“Miss Bonita, what’s the matter?”
“Ah… I have a slight headache.”
Hindley sighed inwardly as he watched Bonita, who was grabbing her head while trying to memorize the letters.
“If it’s too difficult to continue, would you like to take a short break?”
“No. It’s better to finish quickly and move on to math.”
Upon hearing that, Hindley looked at Bonita with approving eyes. Most of his other students were usually in a frenzy, trying to somehow delay their most disliked subjects.
“All right. Then let’s look at a few words related to the alphabet as examples.”
“Yes…”
The response came in a weary voice.
‘Should I take a 5-minute break?’
Hindley turned his head to check Bonita’s condition.
Then he froze like ice.
“…Miss Bonita?”
Bonita, whose arm was propped up, had her head unconscious and touching the desk.
