PT | Chapter 7.3
A few days ago, when Aubrey returned from an outing, the butler had sent a book to Lennock on his behalf. The book contained sexual education for adolescents, something teenagers should read before coming of age. At the time, Aubrey had thought it was just being overly nosy, but now, in hindsight, it seemed completely unnecessary. Why had he sent that? Aubrey pressed his lips tightly together, avoiding the question. Lennock, seeing his reaction, watched him more intently. “I’ll tell the…-

Even if he met Madeleine, he had no idea what to say. And if the conversation went well, the problem was that if he ended up getting involved with her, it would be a huge issue. He definitely didn’t want to marry her. He sighed deeply. Then, it suddenly occurred to him that while he heard the person coming in, they hadn’t left yet. Aubrey turned around and saw Lennock standing at the bathroom door. “…” Aubrey froze as he saw Lennock standing there, completely unexpected. He couldn’t…-

PT | Chapter 7.1
It was when Aubrey was about five years old that he came to live at the marquis’ estate. Before that, Aubrey had lived in a small village situated on a hill in the mountains. If you were to imagine a small village in a remote area, you’d probably picture neighbors helping each other, living a self-sufficient life. But that wasn’t the case there. The few people living in the few buildings knew each other well, but that place wasn’t really their home. They were the ones tasked with watching over a…-

“You owe me for the life of luxury you’ve been living here because of me,” was what the Marquis meant. Aubrey had known this well, and yet, it still left him disappointed each time. Even though he had long stopped expecting anything from his father, there was still a part of him that couldn’t help but feel disappointed. It was the blood that ran through his veins, after all. He still found himself hoping, even though he told himself it was futile. “Understood. I’ll apologize to Madeleine…-

He had tried to be clever and avoid causing any further problems, but it wasn’t easy. If it were that easy, he wouldn’t have struggled so much in past cycles. With that thought, Aubrey looked at his father. He wanted to complain about the pain in his back from the whipping, but instead, he would make up an excuse that his stomach had been upset. “Father-.” “Did you plan to leave the house right after graduating from the academy?” It wasn’t immediate, but he had planned to leave…-

“Father, you wouldn’t really send me back to the academy like this, would you? I’m in my final year. If I quit now with just half a semester left, what will people say?” “They’ll probably say you’re a fool who couldn’t even finish getting your diploma.” Gray’s mocking words made Aubrey’s eyes gleam. The idiot had taken the bait, Aubrey thought, and with a bright, innocent smile, he pointed at Gray. “Oh, are you speaking ill of Father right in front of him? My, you’ve…-

Aubrey sat in the warm bath for quite a long time. The butler, with a sense of timing, had added body products that helped with fatigue recovery and muscle relaxation, filling the water with a pleasant fragrance and making the temperature just right, which made it incredibly comfortable. After sitting there long enough for his body to fully relax from head to toe, he finally got up and headed back to the attic. By the time Aubrey was done with his bath, he had felt quite good. But the moment he stepped…-

“I once thought you didn’t really hate me.” “…… What on earth are you talking about all of a sudden?” “I thought maybe you liked me but didn’t know how to show it.” Aubrey didn’t even respond to this. Instead, Lennock, who was looking down at him with a look that seemed to say, “What the hell is this crazy talk?” continued speaking calmly. “Since you grew up outside and then entered the Marquis House, I thought you might have felt some kind of affinity with…-

Ding. With the cute sound of a bell, as Lennock’s figure disappeared, Aubrey immediately grabbed the heating pack and placed it down. Staring quietly at the heating pack on his thigh, Aubrey slowly lifted his head. He then checked the picture hanging on the wall again and furrowed his brows in a deep crease. “……” The calendar of the continent was divided into two periods: before and after the year 400. This division marked the point when a man, who attempted to explore the realm of the…-

Honestly, his father wouldn’t care about Dalton. What bothered him was that his father’s business had failed, which in the end, helped preserve his father’s honor and wealth—but he didn’t realize that. With a smirk, Aubrey folded the newspaper in half and handed it to Amon. “Why stop reading? People from the Wiidin family aren’t the ones to miss a new business opportunity. Why don’t you invest in it?” “I don’t get involved in doomed businesses.” “Oh? I think it might…-
