While meeting the family, Eldie became increasingly convinced of her thoughts.

Even if she considered them family and accepted ‘my daughter’ as her father and mother, Zen was not normal.

“Don’t speak ill of our new sister, Eldie. And Iris Witlo, where did you learn that snobby attitude?”

Zen was thoroughly enchanted.

The Zen that Eldie knew should have doubted Rishi more than anyone else, and it was right to oppose their marriage. But Zen was wagging his tail like a dog following its owner, far from doubting Rishi.

“What exactly did that woman do to you?”

“What did she do to me? I don’t know why you’re so prickly? Rishi didn’t do anything to us, nor is she tormenting Kay. Everyone is happily living well, why are you interfering and causing a fuss?”

“What kind of tone is that to your brother……!”

“Brother my foot. We’re busy so bug off.”

Zen, who was busy decorating the wedding hall, waved his hand as if annoyed.

Eldie sent a look of ‘Isn’t this strange?’ towards Nella, who was next to her, but Nella only responded with a smile that said ‘It’s understandable.’

‘The only sane person in this mansion is me. No, maybe Kay……’

The last person she could trust was Kay.

Perhaps Kay first noticed something strange about Rishi and chose to marry her to keep her close and observe.

Kay couldn’t see souls, but he had a keen eye for people.

Eldie decided to trust her brother.

“Kay!”

Without knocking, Eldie opened the door to the study and entered, first examining Kay’s soul.

Kay’s soul was shining quietly as always.

“Eldie.”

While sitting in his chair, Kay only raised his eyes and glared at Eldie. He looked displeased, but Eldie didn’t care and said,

“That woman, there’s something strange about her.”

“I hope the person you’re calling ‘that woman’ is not my wife.”

“I’ll be honest. Yes, at first I thought you were crazy for marrying the daughter of the Duke of Witlo, and I just didn’t like that woman. The flower of the Witlo dukedom. It’s ridiculous, that kind of thing.”

Kay nodded, encouraging her to continue.

“I was cautious and I dealt with that woman with a bad feeling. But at that moment, that woman’s soul moved strangely. I almost got sucked into it. Eldhert Green was almost sucked in.”

“Hmm.”

“She has a suspicious soul, brother. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s as if… should I say another soul is mixed with that woman’s soul? Something is attached to that woman. That woman is not ordinary, brother.”

“I know.”

Just as she thought!

Eldie shouted in joy internally. She knew Kay would have noticed.

“Rishi is a very special woman.”

But somehow Kay’s expression was strange.

“The more I see, the more new she seems. Always surprising me.”

Kay looked extremely pleased and happy. Eldie had never seen Kay smile like this before.

She was as shocked as when she saw the suspicious soul from Rishi, no, even more so.

“What are you doing now, Kay?”

“What did I do?”

“Why are you smiling so stupidly? Are you crazy?”

“Did I do that?”

Kay touched his mouth with one hand.

“Well, they say love turns you into a fool. It seems I’ve become a fool.”

Eldie was speechless. She stared blankly at Kay with her mouth open, then shook her head.

“Everyone’s gone mad.”

“You’re the one who’s mad, Eldie.”

Erasing his smile, Kay slowly got up and walked towards Eldie. The cold gaze he gave Eldie settled down.

“I chose Iris, and Iris became my wife. Yet today you disrespected Iris by calling her Witlo.”

“Jamie, that brat……”

“Eldhert Green. I would appreciate it if you did not disrespect my wife.”

Kay grabbed Eldie’s shoulder tightly.

It was a strength that seemed to shatter her shoulder bone.

Eldie could tell how angry Kay was, and how much more angry he would become if she ignored his request.

Eldie liked and respected Kay, so she didn’t want to earn his hatred. So, she didn’t want to believe this situation.

“Kay, don’t tell me… are you abandoning your brother for one woman?”

“It’s not just one woman, it’s my wife. If Rishi disrespected you first and tried to harm you, I would fight with Rishi for you. But it seems to be the opposite situation now, Eldhert.”

He was right.

“I don’t want to fight with you, but you need to understand why I’m doing this. That woman… No, Iris’s soul is definitely not normal. You believe what you see in my eyes, don’t you?”

“I do.”

“Yet for that woman, Iris, you’re going to cast me off like this?”

“Regardless of what form Iris’s soul takes, I trust the Iris I’ve seen and experienced up to now. And, Kevrant. I’m not casting you off, I’m reprimanding you for being rude to my sisterinlaw.”

The strength in Kevrant’s hand gripping his shoulder increased.

Kevrant studied Kevrant’s pupils. His pupils were firmly lit with trust towards Iris.

If Kevrant trusted Iris, there must be a reason. Kevrant believed that Kevrant was not the man to be captivated by Iris’s peculiar soul.

“I’ll hope your choice is right. But even if your choice is wrong.”

Kevrant brushed off Kevrant’s hand.

“I won’t treat you the way you’re treating me now.”
