The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 117
It was a defeat worth recording in Sylvester’s otherwise near-perfect life.
He had gone all the way to Twanette Street, deliberately parading Elodie before everyone just to get a single line in the paper—but Leon Krundel had stolen all the credit.
Themis, who had already read the newspaper and knew its contents, lightly asked Sylvester, who was still glaring at the headline:
“Is Duke Krundel our Lily’s next prospective husband?”
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
“We’ll have to wait and see whether it remains a misunderstanding or turns into truth. After all, you’re both young.”
Sylvester tossed the crumpled newspaper down as if discarding it, then turned his gaze toward his wife.
“Themis.”
“Oh my, did I say something wrong?”
She looked back at him with a ready smile, as if prepared to deflect anything he might say with laughter.
He wasn’t entirely speechless, yet Sylvester only let out a sigh. This wasn’t why he’d summoned Themis—to engage in such pointless chatter.
‘Where should I even begin?’
Knowing his counterpart had likely anticipated everything already, he couldn’t decide what to say first.
After a long hesitation, Sylvester finally managed to speak.
“Themis, there’s something I must ask your forgiveness for.”
