“It’s just my duty as a bodyguard. But…… Are you okay?”
“Huh? What?”
“You have a complicated look on your face.”
“Ah.”
I touched my cheek with my fingertips. I thought it was nothing, but did it show that much?
I’ve felt this way since I was little. The stories about my mother always made me want to cry.
‘Is it resentment?’
The resentment of abandoning me in the bleak Ferdia and leaving. And yet, the vain hope of wanting to know why.
“I’m just a little…… The business with the tower is over, shall we go back?”
I quickly changed the subject, feeling it wasn’t worth fussing over how I felt. Fortunately, Reian simply nodded.
It was just when we were heading to where the carriage was waiting.
“Lili.”
Hearing a familiar voice, I turned around to see Yansi approaching us.
“I came to pick you up, Lili.”
Of course, there was no way the earlier commotion with his sword drawn wouldn’t reach Duke Ferdia.
Sigh. I wished it could have just passed quietly, but that wasn’t easy.
“You can go back with Lili, so you may leave.”
Yansi said, looking over my shoulder. There stood Reian.
I agreed, thinking it would be more efficient to send Reian away now, as there was no need for him to go all the way to the mansion.
I waved briefly to Reian.
“See you tomorrow, Ian.”
Reian hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
“Yes, Elodie.”
What’s going on? He seemed to be avoiding calling me by name on purpose.
As I turned my head, confused, I was met with Yansi’s dazzling smile.
‘Why is he like that again?’
He smiles brighter when he’s in a bad mood. What could be bothering him now?
Anyway, after sending Reian off and climbing into the carriage side by side, Yansi began to whine playfully.
The rumor was rampant that the master of Seomatap had detained you in the tower after threatening and blackmailing you.
What an absurd rumor.
“It’s all exaggerated.”
“Originally, the relationship between the master of Seomatap and father is the worst, beyond what can be described as ‘not good.'”
“Why?”
“Well, that’s not something I can talk about.”
It means he won’t tell me, even though he knows.
‘It must be because it’s about mom.’
Since the name “Arselia,” my biological mother, is taboo in Ferdia.
I knew, but I couldn’t help feeling awkward. Because I, the daughter of my mother, had grown up without knowing what kind of person my mother was.
The carriage quickly arrived at the Ferdia mansion. As soon as I got off the carriage, Carlott, whether he had been waiting or not, suddenly blocked my way.
“Sister, where have you been? Take me with you. I’ve been bored because you’ve been going out all the time.”
“To Seomatap.”
“Seomatap?”
I was about to move towards the outbuilding with a casual nod.
“Ah, sister. Father is calling.”
‘Damn.’
My dream of going back to relax was thwarted.
I entered the main mansion, leading my tired feet from the outing.
As soon as I entered Duke Ferdia’s office, our eyes met.
Without a moment’s pause, the Duke threw a question.
“There was a commotion at Seomatap.”
“It seems the rumor has already spread.”
“Did you meet the master?”
I nodded slightly, and the question continued.
“What did you talk about?”
My words suddenly stuck in my throat.
In Ferdia, mentioning my mother’s name is taboo. Speaking about mom in front of Duke Ferdia was tantamount to a suicidal act.
That’s why I couldn’t speak.
“Elodie.”
At Duke Ferdia’s call, I could only stammer.
“It’s not a big deal, but…”
“Tell me.”
“Can I really say it?”
“Yes.”
“You’ll get angry though.”
“I won’t get angry.”
I don’t know why he’s probing like this, but I felt a little relieved at his words that he won’t get angry.
It’s not a direct word about mom, but the story afterwards will do.
Taking a deep breath, I recited what the master of the tower had said.
“Sylvester Ferdia is a human trash and a messy brawler who touches this woman and that woman even though he has a wife, and throws them away ruthlessly when he gets bored.”
“……”
“He said [dash].”
“……”
I inadvertently looked at Duke Ferdia’s face and took a step back in surprise.
‘You said you wouldn’t get angry.’
You’re angry with your whole body now…!

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.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“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.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
