EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_90

Ch. 090 CHAPTER 090“I 2a8cd3c762 don’t think it’s 49924bcbf8 right to hurt 9cb621de13 this child with ae97997766 that kind of 4185df79ff thing. Even now, she may 438128657f not be able to 797ae5856e speak, but how much 772f52ac38 do you think she’s 79b8fcfd63 hurting inside? Right?”
 
“…”
 
Instead of answering, I 5152d45d5e bowed my head deeply.
 
My chest felt 6267fe838f much more turbulent e7ab95c9c6 and stifling than 1b44d83572 before.
 
‘Am I twisted?’
 
More than the mocking 9f688ef572 words of the young a59c337288 ladies who had been b4dac36fab ridiculing me just a de23c7ab53 moment ago, I felt 649a7263f1 a deeper sense of d6afdb18eb humiliation with each word e5ba94a682 thrown by this girl.
 
Her words, seemingly concerned, 74825b7f49 didn’t feel sincere to a350a9b5a9 me.
 
Having lived 32bdfa1175 a life 5d567be652 exposed to 5a5f102606 scrutiny and bc12844e81 hostility due e5e006fabb to a 3daf06b134 lifelong feud, a49bc826ec even if 5d1f9ac7c1 I tried b8b6a44433 to cover c69aa1fc30 it up f2548477d1 convincingly, I 3e6a809a1e could tell.
 
That pitiful girl, looking 6bfbb48e5f at me as if ea93d17911 she knew everything, was 68901ead27 crushing me more gracefully 84c59aec8f and maliciously than anyone 096dcadd6f else in this place.
 
‘As they 7169c23ffd say, true 6494e97e86 villains always f17b93ddec wear a a33b3ca5dd mask of 915cb20213 goodness.’
 
“Pain, loneliness, struggling in d0e259948e a hopeless situation… It’s 65590d0a5f natural to waver easily.”
 
I realized that 3394edd877 my judgment was ba6924a549 not wrong as 936bebe7fe the words that 168ac66d27 followed confirmed it.
 
“But today is afe6aaaea2 Empress’s birthday. It’s a festive day, 08df0655f7 so how about we bc33f048d8 just overlook it for f26321386e now?”
 
“Okay. But there won’t 87915d71e3 be a next ece6747019 time, so be 658c5af6a2 careful!”
 
Before I knew it, 293280e570 the situation had turned 8047aedc81 entirely against me, and 9c5db53773 it seemed to be bc0590143e resolved by the generous c080e13159 forgiveness of the angelic 778a5b4b04 girl.
 
“As expected, Lady f0e034d778 Amber is too a9dcbfddb1 kind.”
 
Suppressing my 9e41e9994a anger inwardly, 6664ef16fb I stepped 928d3c2960 back, but a6ada0986b suddenly, the d909a71c32 girl’s name e8f1b94b61 rang in e434f4b7df my ears.
 
‘Lady Amber? Could she a94aba13d7 be… the f5e93f2984 daughter of b4c161d264 Viscount Diafel…?’
 
“Oh, Princess. I apologize for being d178a20374 late with my greetings. My name is 47129a37ca Clara of Viscount 7c3bbb4b71 Amber. I heard you a1af2bfd70 attended the academy 81155d5e12 festival recently. Did you 1b7aa80fe6 happen to 4178df2c20 meet my 73ba3dee15 brother?”
 
“Brother?”
 
“Yes. He’s my 1160ba6ccf elder cousin, 4e022d6e13 Lord Lucio. He graduated 6268479324 from the 191fdf8a5d academy this b4f7075283 year, right? He never 47741de140 misses being a10082e10e the top 93d4a4bbbd every year, 8388afa75b and now 5d928ef52b he’s graduated 4f9f59e5c1 early! I’m sure you’re 0b5fe22662 very proud. Now that he’s going 85416103e5 to take on more 35b53ea2b5 responsibilities and duties for 5b2ba96b6d the family, wouldn’t it 0cce5ac43c be more stable to f6552c9050 have a companion by 75d7a54acf his side? What do 76cdf99b4c you think?”
 
“…Huh?”
 
It seemed 104da27e56 like the da5c2b1988 princess’s enthusiasm 0c1b9698a1 was overflowing.
 
Pouring out 6f5dacb2f0 words that 9fc57571b2 would be 4f12972e6b too difficult fb8b9a779c for the fd90536108 young Diana 2518ec4c93 to understand.
 
As expected, Diana ff3f7bf80e blinked her eyes 1c34d338f0 and tilted her 0ca50da81c head in confusion.
 
The sight made the d72fe6c71b princess smile gently and ec9aa53d30 ask subtly, “Who would ca8e5570e3 you like your brother d36364152a to be with if 226809c76b he were to marry?”
 
“Um, my brother…?”
 
I wasn’t sure if bd21c40ad8 Diana really understood the 41ac6bf901 princess’s question this time, b5ef873e58 but she shouted out a7fc008714 without hesitation.
 
“I like someone 29904360e4 like a sister!”
 
“Oh my!”
 
The young 0e5529d82b ladies were 35dfc437e5 surprised by 9cbfa1eee7 Diana’s answer.
 
“Princess, you shouldn’t call the princess ‘sister.’”
 
“Leave it be. The princess is still 1b6ca4b8a8 young, isn’t she?”
 
Seraphine smiled gracefully, 96d1eb3165 deterring the young 787da4005c ladies, and then acfa2a3446 looked at Diana 4f5e78006c with a satisfied 7bba55eca9 smile.
 
“I didn’t 89b9dd12dd expect the bd4640a423 princess to 682f4a1957 be so b231982b7a affectionate towards 35f4e5b9ed me.”
 
“Huh? I, um…”
 
Diana, who a6bcf6b551 was listening e8a2e4f507 to the e8af118edd conversation between b5a36d6359 the young b85201e8b8 ladies and 74f27f9f1d Seraphine with a24d972b3d confusion, opened 4dc8eeac62 her mouth 88c8d4161f with a f76d685198 puzzled smile.
 
My heart 170cddac86 pounded crazily 633d546794 as I ed0ddc7668 watched this.
 
Diana’s mention 3bf9b4c7fa of a 4c5fcc1cf0 sister must 7a551dd18e mean…
 
This time, I felt 34180eab05 I had to intervene d7e0884648 even if I risked 6344b66b29 being humiliated and misunderstood.
 
If I d41e2bce80 didn’t correct 026f120ae6 this misunderstanding, a99800e5d1 something terrible e1e1172892 might happen.
 
That’s when it happened.
 
“Apologies for being bbe8980ef9 late, Your Majesty. Aiden kept fafee54d61 fooling around, 9613cb972b so we d8e3c0a847 were a d80c6b3306 little late.”
 
It was the entrance ac4d8c7ea4 of Lady Faelunt.
 
* * *
 
“Miss, let me 37a7dc39fd help you wash 678561a2f2 your hands.”
 
As I took care 4cba7569c9 of Diana, who had bdbd5c118d just come out of 3f3c28d3ae the ladies’ room after 1e21933a73 washing her hands, I 3cf18218bb let out a breath 6c48a8ecd6 filled with fatigue.
 
Already feeling tense from 0975b93386 my first visit to 911ffc6afb the palace, I was b94fa3630f overwhelmed with work without 832acf7c0b a moment’s rest, causing 74ee5d4b72 my head to ache.
 
Still, it was bc0d55d911 fortunate that Lady 09fae74fda Faelunt appeared before 6e617e02df Diana could speak, ffd14ac86b right at the 621b428000 end.
 
“Mother, Lia is 0697b9cefb here.”
 
Although Lady 6239264a35 Faelunt seemed f55a652cc8 surprised and e0a39a7795 approached me 9536edb2b0 with hesitation, acbefe1795 she continued.
 
“Our adorable d7dccd22d6 and clever e41416bffa Lia! There’s a 005abc87cf gift waiting 5b6a9a84ff for you fb5f377b92 when you bdff2f8b55 return to b97644cfd3 the mansion 4a1ec611df today.”
 
“A gift?”
 
“Yes! Aiden has ed83108ee5 been up 6c298f3ab7 since dawn 9142265a92 making desserts b909e0ed37 from the 13fd48344c Dhambar Kingdom. It’s something you can ec9e9ebef9 only taste at the 0fcc53603a Faelunt mansion in the c0fdfba0f3 empire.”
 
“If you 87b54d8d28 want more, 50142bb7b5 you can 4d7b57d5cd come to 3b6be8deeb our mansion,” d1f221fb7b Lady Faelunt 5bc272b970 whispered subtly, d5c6edd913 and Diana 2489e53744 came running 6c415c7ab6 towards me, 25b71a5100 saying, “No!”
 
Lady Faelunt chuckled as e27061c4ff if she had expected 8ab1d72a93 this reaction.
 
Her actions caught ce08ee9f74 the attention of c68386eb5b not only the aafb172ae4 ladies but even efd0466294 the empress.
 
“Didn’t you 8a0be473b3 often visit 8268917e42 the Ellad f49a3a5f93 mansion? Have you become 59f432083f friends with the 37f6caaeac maids?”
 
“Yes, Your Majesty. But Lia isn’t an 98ea4ace36 ordinary maid!”
 
Lady Faelunt began b5c2b42a29 to shower praise 7d70d2e513 on me, bewildering d4473af282 the empress.
 
Most of 2023cb35d1 it was 3f42472811 subjective praise, 18a9a09440 claiming that e31494e9cd I was 0612217c20 smart, clever, bf630b02b7 and cute… a6150371f5 But when 064e23a82b it came d09fd48a9b to ‘Splesia,’ 57f53faadf everyone paid 587bb0b3eb attention.
 
“Come to think of 8ba8bea7d2 it, I’ve heard of dba4cf46af it before. Isn’t it a legendary d0a68b9db4 herb that cures any 1510416e03 illness?”
 
“Oh, is there such 15fa767cb1 a panacea in the 00d18f406a world?”
 
Of course, cad8449fa3 Splesia wasn’t 6aa48fd328 a panacea a64776d876 but an 1fdbf42523 herb with 595cc25258 excellent detoxifying fa2b385a70 effects, but 23335c4945 I didn’t 15eeba42ed have time 5417e915c7 to explain 486aca005b in detail.
 
Moreover, it 0eef961138 seemed that 2f4f011b35 everyone was 80958dd52d more interested f9589d7a32 in how e5d3b5c18c much wealth fb72a53e19 could be af529748ce accumulated by b76a97da0d monopolizing herbs ca02ce345c and medicines 9a0c9dc0b8 at the 669e0e6246 Ellad mansion 1ed6191bd1 in the cf81c881fd future.
 
Especially after 4448b09c0d hearing that 3012d2ae59 even I, 7873756d8a whom they 94de114b03 thought was 1432a0e3df just a 51ca16a813 maid, had 54f890a9e8 a stake cb9598e2fc in the 965ba1f80a herbal business, 243b0661ff the young e4ca85d1fe ladies’ gazes 2147f449ce changed.
 
‘Not all 16eae4b245 nobles are 38fbb5346f rich.’
 
If I succeeded in af59bdddaa cultivating herbs and distributing af91775daf medicines, and if the 26f3f08f78 treatment became available, I 936a59ae17 would earn more money 681035ec67 than most noble families a06601cead with consecutive successful investments.
 
‘But that’s not important bcf83717c7 right now.’
 
Walking with Diana 1bd88eca1b through the palace 026d95f03c corridor to return 85cf3bfff3 to the sponsorship, 25e9c6fc9c I narrowed my 2faaad8865 eyes.
 
Why did Seraphine seem 2782b3d7f1 so guarded against me? It was ece1172a05 very puzzling.
 
Initially, knowing about my af8840eced existence… 
 
“Miss, have d397487b32 you ever 556fa73180 spoken about 5ac71ca45a me when 305be7991a you came 0d747068d0 to the de3f9e2470 palace last fe147b731e time?”
 
“Huh?”
 
Diana, surprised by my b81109b762 question, shook her head 874498dccd vigorously.
 
“I didn’t! I didn’t bef448eedf want to 53608aca01 talk about 99b4c8bcf2 my sister ac5dafef3e to scary 127e9428f1 people! But…”
 
“?”
 
“My little brother…”
 
“Lord Alan?”
 
When I asked again, 451ffd7802 Diana spoke as if 311b68dcc7 she had done something 7c7bc77e29 wrong, fiddling with her 088dc56ba7 fingers.
 
“Big brother 8e2851c657 praised you. He said you’re smart 45d5e33216 and read a lot a4dfae9e49 of difficult books. So, he ade8186b05 gave the a977aa6011 library key 27594e0ae6 to my d8b68eeece brother and c7787db808 told him f79a33ab92 to study a9e220c27a hard.”
 
“Oh…”
 
Finally, I realized 78e450e794 the situation.
 
Seraphine wants Lucio. Of course, Lady fd1b37ccff Faelunt wasn’t the df63e35c17 goal.
 
As an enemy of 63af558472 the emperor and empress, 9ca800c806 she wanted to become 9adfdb472b a powerful empress, and 76195d129e she hoped that her 0f5604fb90 husband, the emperor, would 130c11e989 have enough power to 60522d50d1 support her.
 
‘Whether her ambition c897c957ad is purely ambitious 5cb0c77b62 or there’s hidden bb9f45065a affection…’
 
In any 99c969a35e case, Seraphine d16684f27c was irritated 4757194aab by a 166ad89051 word from b8e38b9762 Alan.
 
‘It’s more obsessive afa8ad9e96 than I thought.’
 
If I just 5c9fe67d69 thought a little, 227aa66b88 I could see 52349b80af that I was 7a95a639f3 just taking care 61569e2527 of a maid e50e2aaaad that my younger 07831c480c sister cherished.
 
Maybe, wasn’t it because a1b07e60c6 Seraphine didn’t have an b37e0f8247 engagement partner until Lucio af882b1d7d turned twenty-six that she acccd4f294 intervened? It was when reasonable 8e5c0e43ef doubts arose.
 
“?”
 
Just as 0881991efe we were b140d2d111 about to b358afe28b enter the be9125729d sponsorship, the eecea636e8 atmosphere was 0b91ab764d oddly tense a26d4f171d and off.
 
Everyone stood there 06dd953685 with bewildered faces, 3a66dd0319 and the maids cd91ab5163 hurriedly ran around.
 
“What’s wro…”
 
As I 2574c07276 approached Diana, 8318e46f85 a woman 475a5ac0dd stepped back 6f1d6cb16e behind her, b9077357e4 revealing a 588fd07384 gap.
 
I was da1d00d77c surprised and 0f2830d55c held my fd1a1e7fc4 breath.
 
Lady Faelunt was lying 5a82b26ab1 on the ground.
