They looked so alike.
The late Viscount Berca.
Gwen stared blankly at him.
Looking at the subtly shimmering golden pendant, it almost felt like he had come back to life.
There was no direct connection between the Viscount Berca family and Gwen’s family.
However, Gwen was quite familiar with Viscount Berca.
To be precise, with the viscount’s father, the late Viscount Vandea.
He was someone Gwen admired.
If it weren’t for Cedric’s courtship, he might have worked in the Berca Viscount family.
That was Gwen’s original goal.
“You… By any chance… How old are you this year?”
Gwen asked Neran with a trembling voice out of the blue.
Neran’s forehead involuntarily furrowed at Gwen’s sudden question.
‘Why is he suddenly asking about my age?’
Asking about someone’s age was impolite, regardless of gender.
He, who had been immersed in aristocratic life longer than anyone, could not make such a mistake.
Could it be… He recognizes me?
Neran scrutinized Gwen with a sharp expression.
‘Gwen is from the Marquis family.’
Gwen was undoubtedly a nobleman.
But he was a nobleman from the borderlands, with no connection to Neran’s family.
Moreover, he had long been the butler of the Wentz Marquis family, dedicating himself to his duties rather than mingling with other nobles.
‘No. There’s no way he recognizes me.’
Neran cautiously glanced at Gwen’s expression and caught the trembling pupils in Gwen’s eyes.
Seeing Gwen staring at him with a vacant expression, Neran felt that he shouldn’t answer correctly, as if it might not be good.
There was nothing wrong with being careful.
He answered, pretending to be older than his actual age.
“I am twenty-three.”
Gwen, as well as Rose, was surprised by this answer.
‘What? We’re the same age?’
Until now, Gwen had thought Neran was younger than him.
‘Something’s strange. Did I misunderstand?’
Rose smirked.
She had thought Neran was younger than herself.
‘Strange. Who told me that?’
Even when she wracked her brain, she couldn’t remember. And belatedly, a sense of betrayal overwhelmed her.
‘I’ve been lenient because he was younger than me…!’
Rose’s gaze toward Neran burned fiercely.
Being lenient was over now.
Now that she knew he wasn’t younger than her.
And another person who was surprised along with Rose, Gwen.
He, with a disappointed expression, lowered his eyes.
‘Twenty-three… If the youngest son of the Berca Viscount family were alive, he would be around that age by now.’
He asked just in case, but as expected, it wasn’t him.
The youngest son of the Berca Viscount family had a different age.
In Gwen’s eyes, a somewhat bitter feeling was apparent.
‘Yeah. He couldn’t be alive.’
The entire Berca Viscount family was exterminated over a decade ago.
Upon seeing Neran, Gwen had hoped that the bloodline of the Berca Viscount family might still be alive.
“I even had a moment of confusion when I saw that red hair.”
The youngest son of the Berca family had silver hair like his mother…… And decisively, there was no one in the Berca family with red hair.
Moreover, Neran was originally known as a noble from another country.
Gwen found himself amusing with foolish delusions.
Even if he faced the extinct family’s bloodline, Gwen was the sinner in their eyes.
A corner of Gwen’s heart was always heavy.
He believed that his role played a significant part in the annihilation of nobles who followed the benevolent emperor.
Gwen felt that everything happened as he revived the Wentz Marquis family.
The person who raised Cedric wholeheartedly was none other than Gwen.
The crumbling Wentz family was revived, not just because of his abilities… If it weren’t for him, the Wentz Marquis family, with Cedric at the center, might not have become a center of turmoil.
Although everything was Cedric’s fault, Gwen felt a sense of guilt.
Even after several years, there were still nights when he couldn’t sleep because of his guilt.
He had served his master faithfully, but returning was a dreadful and oppressive ordeal.
‘Yeah… How could I welcome his bloodline?’
He swallowed his dry spit and looked at Neran.
Even though he thought that way, he was somewhat disappointed that Neran wasn’t from the Berca Viscount family.
In a quiet voice, Gwen said to Neran, “You must have suffered a lot after coming over from another country.”
“No, not at all. I came here because I wanted to. I’ve learned a lot coming to the Artem territory. I am grateful to the Duke for trusting me and giving me the position of a butler.”
Neran looked sturdy.
He was quite different from his playful son, Frederick.
Gwen subtly glanced at Frederick behind him.
Unaware of Gwen’s gaze, Frederick was busy admiring the Duke’s mansion.
Gwen praised Neran in his mind for being steady.
“You are much more dignified than those of your age.”
Rose firmly resisted Gwen’s praise, her expression suggesting she couldn’t accept it.
‘Neran is nothing more than an immature guy.’
However, contrary to Rose’s perception of Neran, he showed a much more polite side than what he had displayed to her.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
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.
