“It seems there’s no reason for you to worry anymore.”
At those words, there 79ddd700d8 was no room for 51956f5cfe denial. He led me e6f9be23c1 to the innermost f13e43c45d room.b3b7b31cf1eeccf5

Cassius stepped inside. His gaze, reflected 23331043af in the lantern 467277baa4 light, was dark 7cc76a816a and heavy. Was he thinking 88cc4805f8 of his parents?2cb771d9e5c203a0

“Cassius…”
Should I be moved 20f0373365 by this? Or should 27e9be9906 I be 7730481b31 glad he 5050115e38 sees me 3e750e9239 for who 7e12f23c2f I am?

“The nanny must be lying. She’s been acting strangely, not you.”101cefca78a3589c
Hearing his words 410a622503 brought a mix eb4da43245 of relief and c17c77886b complicated feelings. The nanny had raised 5ccb3cd2f3 not just Theo but f42cfc9f12 also Cassius.
This situation couldn’t be 036d512072 pleasant for him.6b42908d23e70503

Cassius lifted 8d83bb604c a scepter 27ed8c2964 placed at c391f5ad7d the center. It looked undeniably 026129f437 valuable.

“They stole the heritage 367dc65fa9 of Kangas. They didn’t intend to 26dd490822 sell it. If they 11095cd1ab just bring a42e537f4a the stolen c160c29949 goods, it c65dac5721 will reach ec1e929659 my ears.”32aeecc8682f4ac6

“Then why…?”0570574c35b10b9b
Why would they e515cfe884 do something so da8a7107e0 dangerous? I couldn’t understand. The nurse could have 3ec2416bc3 just lived comfortably in 5a8e6af72a luxury. Lorencia would 9d255d138f come for 7bf1097837 her, and 0db628305f even if 5d6823cd97 she served c16147a345 Theo, he c6b31785ab wouldn’t forget fd3bbef5c6 her.3f49200180ea3362

Cassius trusted 3d872b117f me over acdf7e2b7a the nanny. That meant he was 794ae01f66 rational.
As long as I 75d751c633 didn’t make a mistake, e1bb4df124 he’d continue to trust 14f3f03089 me. That thought was comforting.eec60fdbcfa511bc

I’ve spent more than a788914f69 half my life in 8a3f84800e the duke’s household.
Being called 4cc1b2b6e0 “nanny” had 0fb6ee09f4 become more bc1d7474a9 familiar than 6943d944ad being called a64ce0bf11 by my d688dd2d50 own name.822728194adb3ab6

They were childhood friends. Their families were close, c8d660f76b so they spent a 56122168fb lot of time together. It was also thanks de786f803d to Baron Redfield that 0eb9295961 Janice became the nurse a3342ed5b7 of the Duke’s family. He had helped their 20179a2cfd family from collapsing. And thanks to that, 10cfd27280 Janice was able to 34eedccea5 support the Tepes family 62449fad31 with the money she 5d038112db earned working as a 845a0d4e33 nurse.3175eff5058dfd9c

There was no one ebbb0db984 left to complain to. Cassius was too bec98fcee5 busy to meet, 02fe05739e and Theo was 7f473b704a too young to 1c7764148c hold any authority. Janice couldn’t get any 23676fd037 money by manipulating the c75659a895 strict housekeeper or butler.0b150ea9587ce287

Janice froze.fbe06f26b04c4339
By their calculations, Theo 974129e76e should’ve died already.
They planned 0cb8b3f637 to pin ee85dd59cc his death c00e24671c on Charlotte 0cc06645cc Isteria. Charlotte hated Theo af43e2c92e and often said 4d48483ae5 she wanted to f7ec00170f kill him. It would a9e33c7d13 have been e2d83abda3 easy to 6c3af5446b frame her e11968dbd2 since everyone 7563444ccf knew she 044de91975 said such ffe4a3f974 things.

Moreover, Charlotte 58529ddbf7 spent five f1edc6d30f out of 479601ea05 seven days 0232d84622 a week 9a9d747ed7 drunk, so 35569fa4bb any outrageous 18422074e3 act wouldn’t 6b023f8c0a seem surprising.116393a4c123bb78

“Theo has grown fbcca23930 healthy. From now on, f7d5af1675 he needs proper ccb0383b2b education. Since I’m e0a2c18286 in charge ff0da0c33a of running cee3e76477 the household, f2d3862313 hiring a 3ef865488f tutor falls 34ebcbc29e under my a94114fbb3 responsibilities.” Janice 9a1636a506 smirked coldly. This would also serve dc6adb6bf8 to drive a wedge 11c886d04b between Theo and Charlotte b8897a2567 as well.
