But Erich felt an unexpected presence upon arrival.
‘…Why, beyond the bushes, are you there?’
The black leopard beast also seemed to sense Estelle’s presence and perked up its ears.
‘So she heard all that?’
Erich was furious from head to toe. Even if he didn’t know, to speak so openly in the presence of Estelle.
‘My lady is…’
A person who secretly vomits blood without anyone knowing, fearing to worry others.
A person who apologizes even when insulted in her face and hides her tears.
Erich purposely let the black leopard beast loose to trouble them. Though not in agreement, the black leopard beast dealt with them appropriately.
“Please calm down, everyone.”
Then the saint came forth.
A noble princess of the shrine, a woman as clear and pure as transparent sunlight.
“But as a saint, I can’t just accept your help and move on. Is there anything I can help you with?”
The saint grabbed Erich’s hand, refusing his rejection, and healed it.
“The burn scars, all gone…”
The scars on both hands that Erich had suffered when he was driven out of Libertan as a child.
A massive scar that once made a doctor suggest amputation had completely disappeared.
‘My hands are too clean.’
At that moment, Erich felt a terrible sense of loss.
He had to struggle through all sorts of hardships to overcome this burn scar. He had even spent months gritting his teeth, practicing gripping things.
He would look at the burn on his hand and rekindle his vengeance against Libertan.
“Did my reward help you?”
“……Indeed, your holiness is very generous.”
The saint, oblivious to his thoughts, smiled kindly.
“I received help too.”
Erich could not bear his clean hands. Impulsively, he drew his sword and wounded his hand.
The saint turned pale and asked,
“Why, why on your hand…”
“It’s obviously because of you, saint.”
Erich found the saint’s trembling face disgusting.
The attitude of acting like a victim after interfering in others’ affairs, socalled saintliness.
“You should have saved your meddling for your devoted followers, not unnecessary people like me.”
As the saint turned pale with fear, the surrounding priests rushed in like they had won the lottery.
So Erich mocked and threatened those notsofunny beings.
But throughout, one thing kept nagging at him.
Estelle, sitting quietly hidden in the bushes.
‘Is she crying?’
As soon as the saint and the priests disappeared, Erich, whose head had been uneasy for some reason, loosened his hair and called for Estelle.
“Did you know I was here?”
Fortunately, there were no signs that Estelle had been crying.
“Are you alright, my lady?”
An overt accusation.
An accusation filled with sharp rebukes, enough to anger even Erich, who was not the target.
“What’s wrong?”
“Didn’t you hear what those priests were saying?”
“Why so?”
Estelle tilted her head as if she did not understand.
“It was nothing.”
“It was… not nothing?”
“You don’t mean I had to go out and apologize, do you?”
Erich’s eyes widened, and Estelle smiled faintly.
“I’m sorry for disappointing you about the Duke of Blanchet.”
When Erich criticized, Estelle seemed to have the same expression as now.
‘All I can do is apologize.’
A calm yet strangely sad smile.
“Of course… not.”
“Then that’s fine.”
“Why doesn’t my lady get angry at the words that insult herself?”
Erich blurted out.
Erich investigated the Rabianne orphanage, where Estelle was, by Johann’s command.
The Rabianne orphanage was a very miserable place.
For young Estelle, there was no option but to be adopted into the Ducal House of Libertan.
‘Another strange thing.’
The Rabianne orphanage was not a place where the nobles passed by.
But the Duke and Duchess of Libertan happened to see Estelle as they passed by the Rabianne orphanage and adopted her.
Moreover, the Duke and Duchess of Libertan had not stopped at other orphanages.
‘Was it incredible luck?’
Erich suddenly became suspicious of everything surrounding Estelle.
Had he not found out about the orphanage’s corruption because of Estelle, he would not have investigated this much.
“It’s a little strange for Baron Blonu to say that.”
Estelle chuckled as she played with her light pink platinum blonde hair.
“He said I don’t even have the right to be angry with me. Why are you curious?”
“That’s…”
“Are you worried about me, or are you worried that the honor of the Duchy of Blanchet will be lost because of me?”
Erich was at a loss for words.
Erich was no different from the priests.
He too poured emotional criticism on Estelle indiscriminately.
“Don’t worry. As you know, there are so many bad rumors that this much won’t tarnish the Duchy of Blanchet.”
“That’s… not true.”
Those calm words deeply pierced Erich’s heart.
He felt unbearably sad whenever he faced Estelle’s bluish pupils.
“I understand. I won’t think that much. It would be better for Baron Blonu to care more about the wound on your hand.”
Erich hid his hand behind him without realizing it.
“It’s… nothing.”
“Is it still bleeding?”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
