Estelle’s clear blue eyes shook greatly. Her white, long eyelashes trembled. Even the hand holding mine, Estelle’s hand, was shaking.
“Your, Your Grace, why?”
“Why would I?”
Yohan didn’t kindly answer Estelle’s question.
“Why did the man you married annihilate your family?”
He carefully observed the woman’s reaction. Her heart was beating fast, she looked perplexed, and the warmth in the hand that gently held mine disappeared.
“I don’t know. Your Grace never told me anything, how could I know?”
Estelle lowered her head for a moment, then spoke.
“Did your parents suffer from false charges and were arrested?”
“No.”
Estelle raised her head slowly and met Yohan’s gaze. There was a sense of anxiety and trembling in her slouched shoulders.
“He was arrested for crimes he committed.”
Falsely accusing someone of treason and turning it around was also treated as treason in the Empire.
That’s how severe a crime treason was. Especially in the case of the Duke of Blanchett, where the entire family was uprooted and disappeared.
“But then, how can I blame Your Grace? Even if you destroyed the Duke of Blanchett, if it was a justifiable act.”
A bitter smile hung on Estelle’s lips.
“Even if you really annihilated the Blanchett Duke, it would be justifiable.”
There was an unhidden sadness and a seemingly crumbling sorrow in her words. Yohan unknowingly clenched his fist in the hand he didn’t wrap around the woman.
“She’s really an interesting woman.”
He always thought she was pure and innocent. He even thought she was too blind in her trust in her husband.
As a human being, anyone would embrace some suspicion towards a stranger. But in this case, it seemed too suspicious to Yohan, so he tried to tempt the woman more and find something hidden inside her. But now it was even harder to know.
“Why, is my reaction so different?”
That his parents, whom he loved so much, were destroyed right in front of him? Even if Yohan hadn’t witnessed the family’s tragic downfall, he would have vowed revenge.
After all, he was the devil who would repay several times over.
But Estelle, with her wideopen eyes, even asked Yohan.
“Have you ever been hurt by the Blanchett family? Is that why you personally destroyed the Blanchett family?”
“Well.”
“But then, it’s hard to understand. So why did you bring me to this house?”
She didn’t even realize that she was aiming to kill him, and her eyes, blindly trusting and looking at him, were surprisingly lovely.
It was earlier than expected, but it seemed like he could end the act now.
“But I can’t do that.”
The reason was simple.
“I can’t end it like this.”
His gaze returned to her slender neck. It was a thin, delicate neck that could be covered with one hand.
“Because I can kill you anytime.”
With a gentle smile, Yohan said to Estelle.
“Don’t worry too much. Even if the Duke of Blanchett falls into treason, your situation won’t change.”
“Why?”
“Because I want my wife to stay with the Duke of Blanchett.”
The gentle smile on Yohan’s lips deepened.
“So, my wife just needs to stay the way she is now.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Betty realized that the atmosphere around the Duke of Blanchett had changed a lot recently.
“Betty, tomorrow is the day when the Madam will meet the Duke and Duchess of Libertan, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“Then, bring this to her.”
The head chef prepared a special snack for the Madam and secretly gave it to Betty.
“You can give it to her anytime, but she doesn’t usually ask us for favors.”
“Perhaps the Madam will like it.”
“That’s right. Tell her to cheer up.”
Betty took the snack given by the head chef and walked away.
Even those who used to dislike the Duke of Blanchett no longer hated Estelle. She was too pure and innocent, and that was not like a Libertan.
“Everyone thought the Madam’s purity was annoying.”
But without anyone realizing it, everyone began to accept the Madam just as she was. Even if they didn’t say it out loud, their actions clearly showed it.
“Even Patricia Hanoyangnim is the same.”
Patricia was one of the most hardline figures in the Blanchett family, along with Erich. Even if Estelle was an adopted child, Patricia couldn’t forgive her and even wanted to torment her without trying to understand her.
But now Patricia seemed to sincerely serve Estelle.
“Betty, assist her with everything so that the Madam is as comfortable as possible. Even though I’m busy, there will be children who want to follow me. When that happens, mention my name to encourage the Madam to follow me.”
“Is it really okay to use your name, Your Grace?”
“It should have been done naturally for the new Madam. It’s just that I’m doing it now.”
Betty was amazed at the change in so many people.
“But what was more surprising than anyone else was…”
It was still their master.
While Estelle was still unconscious, Yohan seemed strangely out of his mind.
“That was the first time the master was so shocked.”
Yohan, who always controlled his emotions well, was extremely surprising in releasing emotions he hadn’t managed to capture.
