The news of Riley’s wedding, which was supposed to be confidential until its announcement, quickly spread among the servants of the Earl of Eardalin.
“Did you hear? The eldest lady is marrying Earl Ermeintz?”
“That insane old man?”
“Yes, the desperate old fool obsessed with that young girl!”
“How did a man who was once hailed as a hero and cheered by all end up like this? Even if Earl Ermeintz is desperate and out of his mind, his family’s prestige is still significant. What could he be thinking to marry the daughter of a remote little lord?”
“Fool, that’s precisely why it’s possible for him to marry the daughter of a remote little lord. No matter how great Earl Ermeintz is, who would send their daughter to marry a man with so many flaws and defects?”
“Is it that bad?”
“The bad reputation has reached even this remote place. How could it be in the capital? If he were a son, it’d be different, but who would want to send their young, fresh daughter to marry Earl Ermeintz?”
“Indeed, his obsession with only looking for offspring at that age is insane. Ugh, really disgusting.”
The servants seemed to chatter loudly on purpose. Even with the door closed, their conversation could be heard. It was clear that they were doing it deliberately.
Riley tried to remain calm and not pay attention to their words.
But it was impossible to divert her attention completely, as if it were not someone else’s matter.
“There’s a rumor. It’s not just young women he seeks but specifically inexperienced young women.”
“Ew, really?”
“Yes. He’s a sexual pervert, not just desperate. Such preferences have been known since he was young.”
“Then the exwives that were cast aside…”
“They’re all the same. The rumors are horrible. Those who left alive are all insane. The rest are mysterious, even in life or death.”
“Then the second lady…”
“She won’t be any different from the exwives. But we all anticipated it, didn’t we? The lady is not the real family of the Earl, and he kept her just to sell her to a suitable family! Only the second lady herself didn’t know, right?”
“Poor thing.”
“Poor? She’s an orphan without parents, and she’s lived comfortably. It’s only natural to do so for the family.”
I never lived comfortably, not once, not for a moment.
Doing it for the family?
I’ve lived my whole life being mindful. Always eating alone. Wishing was a dream I couldn’t even dream of, and the menu was different.
If they enjoyed luxurious and abundant meals three times a day, the leftovers were distributed to Riley after the maids were served.
Ashamed to present her, they locked her up and then shamelessly claimed she was fragile and needed to be handled with care.
They were people who didn’t even provide basic education. Even when her younger sister Claire attended the academy for higher education, she was locked at home.
Moreover, they continuously hurled insults. Not only her uncle, her aunt, Claire but even the servants. They looked at Riley with contempt, like a bug, and took it for granted to ridicule her. For them, disparaging and mocking Riley was a kind of sport.
‘Now that I think about it, maybe my uncle always thought I could run away.’
So he confined, oppressed, and controlled me.
Maybe he had been planning to sell me when the time was right, continuously brainwashing and making me obey.
But was it true that he only obsessed over inexperienced women? If so, just how disgusting and vile was Earl Ermeintz?
At that moment, shuddering in disgust,
Thump, thump, thump, loud footsteps approached, and the door swung open.
“Riley!”
It was Claire, who was a sister by law but in reality, a cousin.
“Is it true that you are attending the reception?”
Riley nodded in response. Claire looked at Riley, as if dumbfounded, and scolded her.
“Why are you going to the reception? What right do you have? What are you, who’s not even a real family member?”
“…It was uncle’s decision. It has nothing to do with my will.”
“You should have said you weren’t going to the reception, who do you think you are to attend with our family? Do you even know what kind of event that is?”
“…….”
“What could you possibly bring to the event with no proper education? You would only disgrace our family name. What should I even introduce you as? The mere thought is disgusting. Don’t you feel sorry for the difficult situation I’m in, having to introduce an inadequate sister like you? Tell father immediately that you will not attend the reception.”
“The Lord of Horizon’s Tower sent an invitation to me as well. It’s a matter my uncle cannot refuse.”
“Ah! Who doesn’t know that? Stop behaving so obediently, and show some defiance at times like this. Don’t you have a mind of your own? Doing everything that you’re told? It’s because you act so stupidly obedient that you’re ignored by those below you. Go tell father that you won’t be attending the reception. Make a scene, be stubborn for once! You’ll ruin my glamorous social debut with your nonsense?”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
