At that moment, in the Duke’s office of Ferdia mansion.
Upon the aide’s report, Sylvester Ferdia narrowed his brows and inquired.
“Where did she go?”
“She went to the Sorcery Tower’s Somnia branch.”
“Why that place of all…”
Sylvester sighed, rubbing his throbbing forehead.
Although not every day, occasionally he would send someone to report Elodie’s whereabouts when she went out.
It wasn’t comfortable for him to send his daughter, who had been attacked before, out without any means of protection, even if the mercenary king Ian was by her side.
And of all places, she had gone to the Sorcery Tower’s Somnia branch.
Wasn’t that the territory of the Tower Master and Grand Sorcerer, Isis? Also known as the insane little devil.
‘It should be fine.’
It would be okay if she only paid a visit, as long as she didn’t blabber about being a Ferdia.
In the first place, Tower Master Isis was selfloving and had no interest in others’ affairs.
Except for one person.
As Sylvester thought thus, the aide’s additional report followed.
“There was an incident surrounding the young lady.”
“What incident?”
“The Sorcery Tower’s magicians appeared en masse, surrounding the young lady and her mercenary escort, and took them to the upper levels of the tower.”
“Ah…”
Damn that Grand Sorcerer.
“What should we do, Your Grace?”
“He knows she’s my daughter and is doing this on purpose to provoke me. Send Yansi to bring Elodie back. Without any friction, if possible.”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
Sylvester guessed the Tower Master took Elodie because of him. Unaware of the truth.
(This is the time separator.)
“I mean, it’s made to take down Sylvester Ferdia. Isn’t it impressive?”
As I stood stiff with astonishment, the Tower Master tilted his head.
“Why such a reaction? Is this great invention that surprising?”
“Yes, indeed, it is surprising. Hahaha.”
Not the magic tool, but your goal.
To think you would be surprised by a weapon to take down your own father.
Unaware of my inner thoughts, the Tower Master laughed contentedly.
“You really know how to please people.”
I don’t know if my nonfather’s attitude pleased him, but the Tower Master looked happier than when we first met.
“You’re quickwitted and very smart. I really want to have you as my assistant.”
“I refuse.”
“I didn’t even offer this time.”
Whether his heart was hurt by my knifelike refusal, without even offering, the Tower Master frowned.
I smell a familiar Carlot from an unfamiliar Tower Master.
After all, I was fairly skilled at handling this simple type of human.
“Anyway, it’s really impressive. But why are you attacking Duke Ferdia?”
“I loathe that man with a trembling hatred. There’s something I want to take as well.”
What do you want to take? I was curious, but I didn’t ask further for fear it might become irreversible.
‘I didn’t know the relationship between Sorcery Tower Master and Duke Ferdia was bad.’
Up until now, I was merely keen to catch the eye and didn’t have the leisure to look around.
That’s why I had no interest in the family situation or the Duke’s affairs.
Similarly, I didn’t know much about the Tower or the Tower Master. There was no one around to tell me in the first place.
The Tower Master being a child is a bit surprising.
“What is it? Why are you looking at me with such an unpleasant gaze?”
“No, it’s just… you don’t look like what I thought, Tower Master Isis.”
“Don’t tell me you thought I was a real child when you saw me and called me a little one?”
I couldn’t find words as he thought exactly as I had. The Tower Master laughed, ha, ha, as if it was absurd.
“This isn’t my real form. I have soooo much magical power that I usually look like this.”
Again, at his selfloving words, I clapped my hands soullessly.
“You have so much magical power. It’s really cool. You’re the best.”
“Khm, I am a little cool.”
“The Sorcery Tower Master of all Tower Masters is the Sorcery Tower Master of Somnia. You’ve turned Somnia upside down.”
“Stop it. No matter who I am, such praise is embarrassing…….”
The mage tower master turned his gaze away, blushing. He really looked embarrassed.
Still, he avoided my gaze and changed the subject of the conversation.
“The actual reason I’ve been looking for you is something else.”
Wasn’t the reason that I was the first investor?
“Your name is similar to someone I know. Of course, it’s probably a coincidence.”
Thump.
Why? My heart was pounding so hard it seemed to ring in my ears.
Could it be? It couldn’t be, but I cautiously asked just in case.
“What’s the name of the person you know?”
“Arshelia.”
“……!”
It’s my mother’s name.
It could be a coincidence, but a strange intuition told me it wasn’t. The mage tower master was acquainted with Duke Ferdia.
It was definitely my mother.
In the end, I couldn’t hold back and asked.
“Do you know my mother?”
Do you know my mother?
“Mother?”
The mage tower master squinted and tilted his head, seemingly pondering my words.
It wouldn’t matter if he found out that I was Ferdia.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
