More strength entered the hand that held Bonita. For a moment, Bonita pondered which side she should put more weight on – her curiosity or her consideration for Mom.
Normally, it would be the latter. However, this time, the rising questions were hard to suppress. What she heard just now was as shocking to Bonita as it was to Luke.
“I honestly don’t understand. He supposedly cursed Aria in the first place… Why did he spare me by disobeying orders? It would have been easier to just kill me.”
Yes, that was the most difficult part to comprehend.
Aria loved Bonita but didn’t love her. Perhaps the affection she showed Bonita was only a slight affection she had cultivated over a long period of time.
‘But why—’
Why did Aria spare her?
Questions outweighed emotions.
Aria, who heard Bonita’s question, flinched. She stopped walking, and after a moment, she answered.
“That’s…”
“…”
“I don’t know. Why did he?”
A gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face.
She stared into the air as if reminiscing about the past, then spoke.
“…I don’t know either.”
Meanwhile, at a similar time at the Hyaecinth Viscountcy.
“Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom!”
Hazel turned her head sharply towards Alan, who was shouting so loudly that it stung her ears.
“Alan, I told you it’s enough to call someone once. And you shouldn’t run in the hallway.”
“Yeah, you need to calm down a bit, big brother.”
Cassius, who was sitting next to Hazel reading a book, jeered annoyingly.
To that, Alan frowned deeply.
“Shut up, Cassius!”
Derek, who heard that, added with a smirk.
“He’s right, Cassius.”
“Why is he like that again!”
Thanks to Alan, who got excited and ran a lot, Hazel had to step in to calm the children.
“Derek, don’t tease your brother. Alan, you too. Do you want to be disrespectful to your brother?”
“Yes, Mom.”
“…Hmph.”
Unlike the quiet Derek, Alan turned his head and reacted mischievously.
“Alan Hyacinth.”
“…I was wrong.”
However, faced with the continued attacks, Alan eventually lowered his tail. He seemed to realize that if he resisted a little more, he would end up spending a few hours sitting on the annoying ‘thinking chair.’
Noticing the quiet behavior of her son compared to Derek, Hazel seemed to forgive him for this time only.
“So, why did you come running so loudly?”
“That… What if we invite Bonita to our house again… What do you think?”
Hazel, who was sitting at the desk, put her paperwork aside at the mention of Bonita.
“Do that.”
“Huh? Can I?”
“First, send a letter. Then, when it’s time, tell her to come over. If they decline from their side, there’s nothing we can do.”
Seeing the approval from Mom, Alan’s expression brightened. The other two brothers were the same.
Afterward, as the three sons ran off to write letters, Hazel, who had been watching, got up from her seat.
‘Finally found her.’
After storing the landscape drawn by Bonita in her memory, she had been trying to find out where it was.
It was not an easy task.
In contrast to the empire where photographs were popularized, the kingdom still preferred portraits. Even the few available photographs were used for recording people rather than landscapes. Therefore, she employed someone skilled in handling a camera to take pictures of all the alleys within the kingdom, going through the trouble of finding similar landscapes.
‘If only I could show that painting to someone, it would have been easier.’
However, she couldn’t reveal the fact that she was investigating the family that took the painting.
With a sigh, she soon went outside, holding a photograph.
‘…Well, it’s done. I found it.’
Tomorrow’s schedule is a rainy day.
She decided to visit this place herself.
“Renan. Where are you going?”
“Ah.”
Renan, in response to the question from his elder brother Dylan, adjusted the hat on his head and replied.
“I have somewhere to go.”
“Is it a business matter?”
“Something like that.”
He shrugged.
Seeing Renan like that, Dylan briefly raised his head in amusement at the unresponsive figure of his brother. Soon, he nonchalantly bid farewell to his younger brother.
“Alright, be careful on your way back.”
