There was no way those barbaric authors had spared the blood of an adopted child. But they wanted to believe it so much that they did.
Then Estelle apologized to Betty instead.
“I’m sorry. You would have been less shocked if I had told you in advance.”
She shifted all the blame to herself as if making excuses. But it wasn’t a scar that could have happened by accident.
“And these scars happened by accident because of my fault.”
Estelle’s fragile smile caught Betty’s eye.
“So you don’t have to look so serious. Despite what it looks like, it didn’t hurt at all.”
That smile held a light as if it could shatter at any moment. This woman, whom everyone hated and despised as a lucky girl.
The innocent smile that had felt lovely and harmless was too cruel.
She was neither a lucky girl nor a princess of the hateful Libertan.
In the end, Betty completely fell apart.
“I will definitely keep this scar a secret.”
And she decided to take the woman’s side.
Although she had no power and was pitied by everyone, she wanted to be on the side of this pitiful woman who everyone hated and despised.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The Duchy of Libertan regained its lost energy.
It was because they were able to solve all their large debts at once by sending off one adopted daughter. The Duchess of Libertan went to the Duke of Libertan with a wine glass in her hand.
“It’s really fortunate, isn’t it, that the girl had such a use.”
“Yes, it’s fortunate she made some repayment before she left. But…”
The eyes of the Duke of Libertan landed on one spot in his office.
“She was a good girl.”
It was exactly where Estelle had stood when her soul had flown away.
‘The girl always stood in that spot, trying hard to be loved.’
After sending her away, unlike before, he began to worry strangely about her. She was just a girl taken in for use.
‘She can’t be living well in the Duchy of Blanchet.’
He deliberately knew that fact and didn’t say a word to Estelle about Libertan.
That the Duchy of Blanchet was the family that had brought down the Libertan by accusing them of treason, and that they surely hated Estelle and would take revenge.
‘Is this really the end?’
At first, he thought he had sold the useless adopted child well as a sacrifice for his anger. But the more he thought about it, the more strange it felt.
‘With just Estelle, he won’t end his revenge.’
It was a grudge that caused the downfall of an entire family. It can’t be concluded so easily.
‘But it’s true that he didn’t take the opportunity to bring down Libertan.’
The Duke of Libertan was sure that this contradictory part was a trap.
“My lady, we had a string attached to the Duchy of Blanchet, didn’t we?”
“Are you talking about those incompetent people who couldn’t even warn us about the Duchy of Blanchet’s trap in advance?”
Duchess of Libertan Roselia frowned and nodded her head.
“They were so busy that they couldn’t withdraw in advance. Is there something you want to do with them?”
“I guess I need to check on the internal situation of the Duchy of Blanchet”
At that point, commotion started beyond the office. The noble Duchess of Libertan’s forehead furrowed.
“What’s this noise on such a good day?”
Even worse, the rough footsteps and screams were getting louder and louder. The palefaced head butler hastily opened the door. There was blood on the butler’s body.
“Duke, it’s a big problem. You need to come out right now.”
“What’s happening?”
“Knights from the palace have rushed into the mansion…!”
Then, the palace knights who arrived behind the butler pushed the butler aside and stomped into the office.
“What on earth is going on with the palace knights here?”
However, the palace knights did not respond at all. Only after the situation was sorted out, a very outofplace man slowly walked in among the knights.
A man in a tailored black suit, unlike the palace knights in armor.
The man who slowly walked in scrutinized the Duke and Duchess of Libertan with perfectly restrained gestures.
“You all look better.”
“Duke Blanchet?”
Duke Libertan glared fiercely at Duke Blanchet.
“All the debt issues should have been resolved. What is this about, mobilizing even palace knights. Don’t tell me our deal”
“The debt has been cleared.”
Johan jeered with a poker face, his lips curled up. His arrogant gaze seemed to crush Duke Libertan.
“This is a different matter.”
Upon standing in front of Johan, Duke Libertan involuntarily shrunk back due to the overwhelming pressure emanating from him. Duke Libertan opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
“What other problem are you talking about?”
“Treason.”
Johan, who had taken a step, elegantly patted Duke Libertan’s shoulder.
“The crime of treason from the Duchy of Libertan has been exposed.”
“That, that’s nonsense…”
“How could you commit such a terrible crime?”
Johan whispered lowly into the ear of the trembling, palefaced Duke Libertan.
“This is just the beginning, you can look forward to it.”
