I was really driven out.
“Isn’t it too harsh to send me out emptyhanded?”
I kept knocking on the firmly closed iron door, but it was to no avail.
Being thrown on the street without fully understanding the situation, how pitiable.
With misty eyes, I gazed at the light flowing from the mansion. Had it been winter, I would surely have felt like the Little Match Girl.
“If you’re going to drive me out, do it tomorrow morning. We were family, after all, how could you…”
I stopped, appealing to sentiment.
Some may have good relations, but most siblinginlaw relationships are like enemies fighting on a battlefield without guns or knives.
“Don’t you even have humanity?”
I yelled at the top of my voice, but there was only silence from inside.
Two days ago, I woke up in a room I couldn’t remember at all. Dazed, I was swept along by the events in front of me, just passing the time. Then, just as I was getting my bearings and planning for the future, I was driven out.
Should I be happy just to have found my memories, even though they have nothing to do with this place?
I understand that they hate me enough to drive me out without a second thought as soon as my brother died. But to cast me out in the night, without anything?
‘No, if they say my husband died because of me, maybe that’s understandable…’
Luella immediately had to correct her thinking and discreetly looked around.
Since there was no such modern thing as a streetlight, the surroundings were plunged into utter darkness. The way forward was blocked.
“This is serious. I’ve been driven out before I even knew anything substantial about Luella Rominin. Where to go, what to do, I can’t grasp anything.”
Not knowing who my relatives are, or anyone I know, everything was dark.
Thinking about it, I understood why this situation had arisen.
Before falling, I enjoyed luxurious meals and had maids who called me a lady. I wore expensive jewels on my dresses and went to parties.
Since my siblings and I came here penniless, it must have all been bought with my sisterinlaw’s money.
But then, her husband died. Even worse, they blamed his sister. Who would want to keep spending money on a sisterinlaw in such a situation? Even if I were in my sisterinlaw’s position, I would want to drive her out.
“But what do I do now?”
As if answering the question I had asked into thin air, someone’s voice reached my ears.
“You were driven out due to the notice posted in the square. Balder’s guild has declared hostile actions against you.”
The iron door that had just been slammed open, and a man appeared. Startled, I looked at him, and he handed me a cloak.
“Who are you?”
Since I had lost my memory, I could ask who he was without hesitation.
“I’m a servant of the Kamunga family. Shunaga pleaded with me to give this to you.”
“You came to give me this?”
I was about to be moved by this unexpected kindness when the servant answered.
“I came out to convey my mistress’s words. The coat is just something I brought along.”
Still, he had listened to the request. There must have been some underlying kindness.
Even if it wasn’t true, I wanted to think so. Otherwise, I would have been too discouraged by the grim reality.
“What did she say?”
I wanted to leave with a flourish without listening. But what if they asked me to come back in? I had to listen.
“Since Lord Kamun has died, my mistress says she has no further business with you. Your connection is severed forever, and you should not expect any help. Now, I will go inside.”
It was as I had thought. The servant finished speaking and went right back inside without giving me a chance to object.
It was a desperate situation, but my sisterinlaw’s words weren’t wrong. I understood them fully.
My confused feelings settled, and my anger subsided. Since they had told me so cleanly, there was no need to further exhaust myself here.
I looked around once more, and after that, I checked the square window that was right before my eyes.
Without any interaction, what was simply floating in front of her eyes changed as if it had life. The colorless buttons all changed to their own unique colors, and color was added to the small map on the right.
Should she say that the screen, where everything had been frozen except for the clock, now felt properly activated?
Physical force, such as pressing with a finger, was not needed to manipulate the game screen.
She tried to move it in her mind without raising her hand and staring at the game screen. Fortunately, it moved quite well according to her will. It was not easy yet, but she thought it would be fine once she got used to it.
She had to be thankful for this method, as she could not wave her hands like a mad person in front of people.
Looking around here and there, she pressed the button to go to the standby screen just in case.
There was only one character in the character selection window of the standby screen, and it was written as Luella Rominin.
“It was real.”
