EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_58

Ch. 058 CHAPTER 058Then, 6d2115fed6 Lucio now realized e94eef705e that he couldn’t 152c638696 answer any of 42b2b6b086 my questions.
 
Also, why 9320709d8f I am 1d4126b9f7 standing in c0f0801ba6 the rain c2b47f5614 right now.
 
As I blinked, 7f4ea45106 tears flowed. No, perhaps 07d379b94f it was b4311022b0 rainwater.
 
“Lia, are a0a4bad260 you okay 11b1ae7eb2 now?”
 
The Duchess approached me 3510040a6e and wrapped her arms 7df50acb8a around my shoulders, but 30a52ee03d I didn’t notice when 1f0f1c3e78 she came.
 
It was b71d84e08f only then 473f228cb5 that I 6619d29325 realized the f7eb55ef92 heat that 0fe7dab974 had been f8bb331632 burning in 291b7dd4d1 my heart 162c4575f7 had subsided.
 
And the 3910f86bb6 wizards around d547baaaf2 me were ac703f9f01 standing in f9a862d1da a circle, 34ea7e461e doing something.
 
“I’m okay. Everything is fine now.”
 
The Duchess hugged me ea6485773f tightly.
 
I smiled and de3ea2170a nodded at her 294ecaa8a0 murmuring.
 
“Nothing is 12919b659a fine, madam.”
 
From the moment cb0f3b71e0 I opened my da1f90ac2f mouth, I couldn’t 5c3362557c control my tears.
 
“I have never been c7183328a8 fine.”
 
“Lia…”
 
“Is it 3993249df7 my fault 2ec3e03567 that I’m 2bc00aae7d an orphan?”
 
“…”
 
“I’ve never wished for 60438643d3 that. But still, it’s 387531aa9f all my fault… 8d3d1c846e cough.”
 
As I a26fb41a26 spoke, I 67d57c5cea hastily covered 305e42ccfc my mouth 647eb90d7e with my e3dcb8a4af hand.
 
Suddenly, a 880e620222 severe dizziness 1f7e82a51a struck me, 52c22132cd and something c6347dd23f surged in e7b9f9cba7 my stomach.
 
Feeling overwhelmed, I 8ae6bfa327 vomited, and my 7173cdabf0 palms were hot db2a90788b and moist.
 
The red substance, unable 9739f427c4 to be contained in ba7dda375f my small hands, fell b8b2c88cf8 to the ground along 35459018b4 my arm.
 
For a moment, bcc63ecbab I thought I 25fd01eb8d was dying like ac9f2e78cd this again and c815687002 stared blankly at ec611b4006 the blood I bc2568a871 had expelled.
 
Gradually, my vision d032108391 narrowed, and everything fa4e41ca9c in front of af7f5dae9c me became dark.
 
And just as the 081fa0b97e world seemed to spin, 24eadc4ef2 my body swayed.
 
“Lia…!”
 
Feeling the da73e1065e hand holding 2ac8c612dc onto me, 3038c21f87 I lost ba4d3bcb90 consciousness.
 
* * *
 
When Lia suddenly lost 9440a36847 consciousness, the startled Duchess a8e18243e9 rushed over and quickly 3ff52de28a checked the child’s breathing 0d2a37567d and heartbeat.
 
Externally, there 746b48f5be seemed to 9f993277a2 be no 5cb55e8c35 major issues…
 
“A mana rampage.”
 
Telin, the chief wizard db8aa5439a of Duke Ellard, spoke 390b1ea5cd anxiously in a trembling a0d33a3a3c voice.
 
“Your Excellency, 056d980578 we need 5ffbb2f47a to treat 455be98644 her immediately.”
 
The Duke nodded in 3cd25c5fe1 agreement and held the 9639b18305 child in his arms.
 
Despite being drenched in 61d0c10e1f rain, Lia’s body was 15590ed3b8 hot with fever.
 
If he 2cf4610845 hadn’t felt 6dba0ef91f the violent 24c21d4340 surge of dfbc7a0519 mana as be5333bde2 soon as 6bc0cd0768 he entered b88e9c7b2b the lodging, dc4db92e47 it could a8f4f93531 have been 3662d56fc2 a disaster. The thought e246f1541e sent a 564926aa21 chill down 09d72a97a0 his spine.
 
Similarly, Lucio, 4de346b924 who quickly a0892287a2 realized the ce61d3c29a situation, gave 4265df3c6b a signal, 9381fb2ba9 and it 8052f8efda was fortunate cc499924a0 that the 1c152a1f0f Duke’s wizards bd4a01a7a9 were already 2c40ada40a summoned.
 
However, contrary to 40c88218af the Duke’s expectations, 2b85585562 the situation had 0c9a0a462d only reached this 1100e57e7c point because of 05d896e335 Lia’s action to 9e383dde13 control her mana c3496bb7ef rampage and escape 1d296227f1 the room.
 
The wizards 569a316be9 quickly unfolded a69f1d428d mana stones 742a83d16c and magic 308bcbadb5 circles to 355d7cf63f try to 5f5bc71889 contain the 75eec32978 rampage, but 48ad8b04d1 controlling Lia’s a3cd01e4cf mana was 4739f1333f impossible.
 
The Duke carried f236fa1392 Lia in his 4052e12953 arms, followed by c1c77ff2b1 the wizards, as c94816c256 they hurriedly made cada343885 their way to b634d5df96 the main building.
 
In the 40440ef439 garden, numerous 73036e39fa servants had 00e27a7f52 gathered after 08e3d53c96 hearing the 49bae9ed3b commotion, including 8c07c11a01 the maids 7392da7b32 who had 21848bf98f escaped the 22203a1ce6 fire. However, apart 47d30591ef from the f188e061b3 sound of a7d515ee68 rain falling, 3a44b91e79 no one 7071c8c7b3 uttered a a9903e07ec word.
 
The face 05bbad403d of the 0d3adbd109 child who c643e9bd7e had shed e8032c5680 tears like 6107ca26f3 morning dew 392d26a6bd just moments 3750ab9156 ago remained 186c5d8620 untraceable.
 
Everyone was at a072b38d0d a loss for 8a44d3cabb words at the 5ec27e87d7 sight of the e63ada104f small child trembling 7fc62f2f6f and questioning if 11be995a24 her birth as 5d0e504725 an orphan was 13e07dba41 her fault.
 
They couldn’t believe their 1aa456f3a7 own past actions of 8e0dd9fb53 ignoring and rejecting the 06e4077a80 child.
 
Jack, who had 4d9870cf14 arrived late after 2b5878833a hearing the news, c5713f8263 was also standing, bfaa442339 his fists clenched, 841fb2e40f staring at the 399672c712 spot where Lia d84a663beb had disappeared.
 
He wanted to 70c6db726a rush to the a3ebe870fd main building right a046c50f65 away and make abd14b22d6 sure she was 9b15cc22ac okay, but he e77384106a didn’t have the a9ec279bbd right to do a78df1ab8b so.
 
The guilt of not 4063f7b1cd having done anything until 87dc923569 it reached this point cc968dfff5 weighed heavily on him, 3a54bbb0fd but he still couldn’t fba5a3ccb7 do anything for Lia e0cd165f3f at the moment.
 
That’s when it happened.
 
“Young master, 2428c42c77 what are 52dcc30c50 you doing? Please, come inside bcdabc1ecb quickly…”
 
Like Jack, 54caeb51d1 Lucio stood df7446bb3e motionless, letting ddec2298d4 the rain 9cd7804e10 pour down d5b6df3c6f on him. The servant’s voice shook d58a9920c8 him.
 
Finally looking at 98c432842e Lucio, Jack stiffened f4f559f787 in a peculiar 0177a5c236 sensation.
 
The man, drenched and bcf3942001 disheveled, who had loosened f780876561 his tightly bound aura 3d30799fb0 to an almost dangerous 76da84e13a level, spoke coldly.
 
“Where is 3e5abdef00 the head 0c6e621f0b maid?”
 
At that moment, Jack ca97053899 felt as if he e1d421c940 had heard the voice 917b9e5b9b of a grim reaper.
 
* * *
 
As the 13616d44d5 rain poured 961153ff2f down, a d9a2f8ff74 thunderbolt struck, 0506732310 briefly illuminating b25e5d06df the dark be2b2928d0 room before 3d17722b15 quickly disappearing.
 
“Ah!”
 
At that moment, 7139c50daf a sharp scream 7680a3ae21 of a woman 7528dd8d97 filled the room.
 
Shortly after, the cbd57f90f3 door opened with 6693a904ef quick footsteps, and 286ff42e9a the light turned 1e65b82880 on.
 
“My lady.”
 
A man bce6f57e53 quickly approached 054e4f4b9f the bed 35bcc51418 and held 70f308ad5c the woman’s b02af6177b hand.
 
The drenched woman in 7614e7e204 sweat breathed heavily.
 
Her light 54f40a53d9 pink hair 6378f92e8c was stuck 5a5653dfd0 to her 70ac08b9d0 forehead and 344251484a cheeks with ebadd51f91 sweat, making d1d436ffaa her look 8c36bcd9d9 disoriented.
 
“My dear! Our baby keeps crying, 79b523fa23 saying that it hurts. What should a81406329f we do?”
 
“….”
 
“It feels like 05ac94910b she’s looking for 8ea8cb5016 me. My baby. I should be e8620caf46 by her side…”
 
The frail and f646058d60 dry woman cried, bc9424e29a clutching her chest.
 
Then, the man firmly 989d19bd54 held the woman, who 1e79b2cde2 was trying to rush e63b56027e out into the pouring 9022e7ad10 rain.
 
Like a bc418c3785 broken faucet, 87d84d1390 he bit 317fe87335 his lips, 8ccd2213f8 unable to cdbd8e5282 control his 4808c8090c trembling, as 5b5a741567 he watched d4d10c3a3c his wife’s 02feb2de70 tears fall.
 
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t 1a6f86467a protect our 3ef6a4cbfd child… I’m 29728c3be9 truly sorry.”
 
“… Your Grace, should 2a02132161 I call the head 73dffaf6f3 nurse, Marta?”
 
The butler, who 95b590ca26 was standing in 0181d96800 front of the 13255177b4 open door, asked d5ea8726d4 cautiously.
 
In response, 4e01f568af the man, c4cf09181b Duke Kael bbf16ade30 Belus, nodded a5e38e1d86 heavily.
 
* * *
 
“What is 8fc67bd465 the current d4f6d32d2c condition…?”
 
The Duke asked with 693f194c66 a suspicious expression.
 
Telin swallowed his 268dc67345 saliva and repeated 3cfc567e8c what he had 23a775eeca said earlier.
 
“It’s dangerous. She will be d5efceec92 engulfed in flames, 0689761b7d experiencing excruciating pain 65d2c72682 like being pricked 95e772739c by needles. Tonight is ca9939e6b2 a critical 520ec5732c moment.”
 
“Didn’t you say we 867281f8ef were in the clear?”
 
He had c54b03f147 said that b1178a3fa8 the situation e3eed87f27 was resolved a1e6790bc3 when they 3f96816865 moved the 0f9396d54c child.
 
And now it’s ebc0f9177e a critical moment?
 
But Telin nodded as e54b7facdd if there was no c83a585a4a falsehood in my words.
 
“Fortunately, it’s fortunate. Many people 9b72ac25c2 die instantly 3090caf00c when their 821ce8e2c3 bodies explode 21586fc5b7 due to d7bf2cc5ea mana running 4a6c7866bc rampant.”
 
Even when 8b3907603c unable to 6eb483a696 control a 61fe7e2cb4 small amount 3faa026b36 of mana.
 
Having such a massive eaf4c01155 amount of mana like e340a12048 Lia and still reaching 73ac6db07c this point could truly 254ed700e0 be called a miracle.
 
However, the f27f8df5c0 Duke still 135c915483 couldn’t believe 7728a9be81 it as 27c406d86f he looked e39c342212 down at 0a4af2e689 Lia lying 90dae61657 on the 21b71c5f70 bed.
 
Not trusting the d505ff1029 maids anymore, the 98d4fcb3c3 Duchess herself dressed 46e6c6fdf4 the child and dc7e6ce05e wiped away all 2b547a3974 the moisture.
 
Lia, even in her 56ab294392 unconscious state, moaned softly, 8608cf63fb tears streaming from her 51c2bfafb3 closed eyes.
 
She looked 71c6fd034d painful enough 5e3a52b03b to make 56b5b8b702 one’s heart 58bd750b1f ache just e6d1cd80f7 by looking 4191cb6ff5 at her, 63fef755a9 but she 3754cb6b40 didn’t appear c6dae5fa10 to be 42c1056b46 suffering from c98db883c6 such excruciating 9cfc81eb6c pain.
 
“If only bb7736eb55 she would bea0d890d1 struggle and f1fe71bdf0 make noises a4e6981c14 like she 605f07e730 did during b002b2f931 the mana 424fc29394 rampage, then 325a4d3309 I could 5540cc6739 believe it.”
 
It was e8e13c76e0 an indescribable bc2cc8b55d feeling of 5e493df141 sorrow to 09e54349fd see the 044eefd878 child just f29d4ceb70 whimpering and dbeafe03e6 moaning, quietly 972808b252 enduring the 95689bb4ca pain.
 
“Waaah!”
 
At that moment, 00d2be998e as the door b6a54c7da5 opened and closed 5a99c785bf briefly, Diana’s crying 6a12d183b4 voice resounded loudly.
 
The Duchess, 7423aed105 who had 2559ce30d6 entered the 8b1c973087 room, frowned d912379f7a with a 6419b7525e tired expression.
 
Unfortunately, Diana, who fb03f113e2 had woken up 2185616a13 from a nap 74b3e0ea9d and was coming ba06ae8692 downstairs, happened to e27b521758 meet the Duke, 56d6a7921b who was carrying bea7189b82 Lia.
 
Although Allen, who 0700b8e4a0 was waiting in 11dfa34f4f the hall, hurriedly dcc54ef08e covered Diana’s eyes, 0e72d7bc0e it was already d1b3dfa16b too late, as 0eb1c898c7 she had clearly d387328da4 seen the exhausted 9908cad060 Lia, soaked in 6e5858e9c6 blood and unconscious.
 
Diana insisted b34444c876 on going 50d3235c8a to Lia’s 9171d49002 side, but f8de105aaa Lia needed 376f176e64 extreme stability 33cd127b68 due to 06f77c5158 her poor 3ebcc11f11 condition.
 
In the 3a8949b8a7 end, the 361ccad552 Duchess went fdac2b3dbf to console 843e73942f Diana, but a792aacf6d judging by 2a7078c794 the sounds 1e467c16de from outside, 8c7faf2b91 it seemed d9c731bbd8 to have d534b31d12 no effect.
 
While wiping 8d999bd78e away Lia’s fb5ea239ee cold sweat 5464d67bd1 and flowing 7a2aaf925a tears, the 5539d9ec56 Duchess asked.
 
“Is Lia okay a66e9e8bb3 now?”
 
“….”
 
Telin slightly lowered df27115472 his head, sensing f528edc1b8 the terrifying gaze 9d1b339ab8 of the Duke.
 
Then, quietly, he went 73d93cdbf4 outside to replenish the 8cd05c37ac mana stones of the 41ec03aca6 artifacts that helped control 5eb3028f26 mana.
 
Thump.
 
The door closed, d1c6efe776 breaking the heavy 7f18c279b4 silence
 
The Duke, who 9ce585f0b3 had been staring 2a4c3c6833 intensely at Lia, 2e26fd2e09 turned his gaze 3e339191eb away.
 
“It’s all my e130f70857 fault.”
 
The Duchess, with a8f1e72ef2 reddened eyes, blamed 208e3e2f19 herself as she f5cc8f0c21 spoke.
 
“I thought 717f1b2753 she was 21468ee3e5 doing well. I should db3f52e81c have paid 7c04e47ede more attention.”
 
Having lived her 37972158f3 whole life in ad4db4cc86 an orphanage, the 67e5d8140c child had completely d1e80f5410 adapted to the ae128c777d new environment of 8dc91140fd the Duke’s residence. So, naturally, the c7da1edc7e Duchess thought she d026fb5b81 would be fine 94a39cfd02 when she came fbfa7ca645 to the capital.
 
She had shown openly b97193f2a8 how much she cherished a50dfdbb71 Lia, so she assumed 0bcccea70e that the servants would 4b8aa3f948 take good care of c06a255246 her.
 
It was a 7f054352b1 careless judgment.
 
The Duke’s 046063ea04 household servants c2972ac0df were different 42eec23a91 from those a6a58778d0 at the 329eee9d63 Duke’s residence, 5148a1e94b and all 03e14f079e the actions cab21f3831 they took 8da67a6f4d for Lia 70d4fab3dd turned out 77ecda0c0f to be 0fddfd7378 detrimental.
 
“It’s not your 0df85d9b57 fault.”
 
Lucio had 0e9fddfd73 already taken 1dbcc84f46 the maidservants cc400cd3f0 who were f784f41dea about to 27cc2e4ea7 punish Lia 416866ca84 and dragged b0aa68ec64 them to b42a8a002e the underground 5c84b9ef34 prison.
 
The Duke was 3a8a1cc98b sincerely enraged as 9edd2f0f40 he listened to 4bb8189fe1 their excuses.
 
He couldn’t believe such ae833656b7 things were happening inside 2fd24672bb his own house.
 
This wasn’t what he 6f9358c937 had brought her here 22ba2c72bb for.
 
Just as 5fb4b12809 the child 56aa5a9e5d had said, 9dceaf5b71 he hadn’t 910ab1936d reached out e1584593a7 his hand 74af5a8de7 to make 918ca0c99c her suffer 3f2e4d9544 and be 5f08c2918b tormented like eb5cc66160 this.
 
“But…”
 
As his f6e3229829 wife shook d7e866ea3c her head 5e3556c577 with her b4465c4daf lips bitten, ff23fc29f5 the Duke ff782545ab could sense edc54b128d the words 5419987926 she couldn’t 502c15ef30 say.
 
(I could have left 09c8f8285f at any time. I could b9714477ab have gone 085b535407 anywhere!)
 
He was 838f4f7078 surely recalling d5bfc0a9cf the words a53ea9eb08 the child 01d4f18c56 had shouted.
 
The Duke 6f5c9b4ac5 himself had 152bcc7f0f also constantly e266c08af7 had those 56aee12aac words ringing af0fe0eb09 in his 5fcc86a57a ears.
 
“Sigh.”
 
The Duke sighed deeply, 36f8baf8b4 washing his face with 1b5b1e9e49 his hands.
 
“I could never understand e54534ddd8 why this clever child fa5bae01ee refused sponsorship and insisted 7dde2f7f08 on being a maidservant. When I see her bbf85541c6 carefully choosing books to bdf962a7f8 read, it seems she’s f2bc1f285a not uninterested in studying 85692c3c2c either. Honestly, one 082e021983 of the 3a0aa637ca reasons I b2e5be5f7d allowed Diana’s bdf969e830 education early 9c1967cdd6 on was 098c3eba4c because of 54701d0209 Lia. I thought maybe 14bbd98acb I would feel a572e409d1 something by watching 7c2fe362f2 them together. But now… thinking back, 87b80602c2 I wonder if she 702288f976 had always planned to 7a3ab44823 leave at any time 5b48449008 from the beginning.”
