EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_58

Ch. 058 CHAPTER 058Then, Lucio 3ae377e33e now realized that he b53ecc4768 couldn’t answer any of f77ef8bbb5 my questions.
 
Also, why ab89fadfa3 I am a1f9388380 standing in 68dd796426 the rain 450363ed68 right now.
 
As I blinked, tears 821aad391e flowed. No, perhaps a597ceb239 it was a064834f8f rainwater.
 
“Lia, are you f5ff814301 okay now?”
 
The Duchess approached me 5f550bf5ed and wrapped her arms ea30c6971f around my shoulders, but 4929cee240 I didn’t notice when 9a2f42f13b she came.
 
It was only e3ded511c9 then that I ebf6030321 realized the heat e68f689ae2 that had been 5c9abb59b9 burning in my 96367afd66 heart had subsided.
 
And the wizards around 3461519ced me were standing in d13dfaf733 a circle, doing something.
 
“I’m okay. Everything is d70d8a88be fine now.”
 
The Duchess hugged ad8e6ecbe4 me tightly.
 
I smiled 542e62adc3 and nodded 581c444ac7 at her 2a601139a9 murmuring.
 
“Nothing is 4a24c0c85c fine, madam.”
 
From the moment I 7060478b3d opened my mouth, I 3cb7ba3dab couldn’t control my tears.
 
“I have never been c7765c8b41 fine.”
 
“Lia…”
 
“Is it my 280a602d10 fault that I’m ce009136ff an orphan?”
 
“…”
 
“I’ve never wished for f6a6323fa5 that. But still, 893cf99804 it’s all be95483509 my fault… 42742c9d26 cough.”
 
As I spoke, 4dc4efd8dd I hastily covered 869c35669e my mouth with dab2f74a48 my hand.
 
Suddenly, a severe 21e5142f84 dizziness struck me, ccdd5b25ba and something surged 327cc8c066 in my stomach.
 
Feeling overwhelmed, I aa173cbd9c vomited, and my 699f377e74 palms were hot e2dc46e6c0 and moist.
 
The red substance, unable 586b377562 to be contained in 406daf5bd1 my small hands, fell b67db3553a to the ground along f1bd945707 my arm.
 
For a ab20c7b6a1 moment, I 59b2dcda9b thought I f0048e7e1a was dying 6485f60a08 like this fb7e68aaf7 again and 54b1662d63 stared blankly 8d198b18c0 at the 19c43ed201 blood I 0f74f0d060 had expelled.
 
Gradually, my vision c88d8ad0ff narrowed, and everything 41d215f124 in front of 9c5f0ddceb me became dark.
 
And just as the b8d8b704ea world seemed to spin, 8c54b5b996 my body swayed.
 
“Lia…!”
 
Feeling the hand holding b1a684481a onto me, I lost 85c865c50e consciousness.
 
* * *
 
When Lia suddenly 3ad4580407 lost consciousness, the 2de298aca7 startled Duchess rushed 1328f55dce over and quickly f0a538d762 checked the child’s 5996af6c9c breathing and heartbeat.
 
Externally, there seemed 2889ca0d9a to be no cf58722b70 major issues…
 
“A mana rampage.”
 
Telin, the chief wizard c6eb302292 of Duke Ellard, spoke e06e8ee490 anxiously in a trembling 1fed406612 voice.
 
“Your Excellency, 01d70dedc4 we need c7a6bf1392 to treat 0590d80d9c her immediately.”
 
The Duke nodded in cb648abe9d agreement and held the 7e09c1a1f0 child in his arms.
 
Despite being drenched in 07a3aa2244 rain, Lia’s body was 983c1f0b63 hot with fever.
 
If he hadn’t felt 95f63d5259 the violent surge of 7e55bc7937 mana as soon as d06110b6e7 he entered the lodging, 5376244318 it could have been f45d8c4666 a disaster. The thought sent a 56eab767fe chill down his spine.
 
Similarly, Lucio, who deb8636a0a quickly realized the b65feac205 situation, gave a 4c2afebd5b signal, and it 92b5921f58 was fortunate that f28c82ea1b the Duke’s wizards 2301772070 were already summoned.
 
However, contrary to 6c6a7b2082 the Duke’s expectations, da88e5716e the situation had 619bee6200 only reached this 22417a62cd point because of 912e528f51 Lia’s action to 39ed75c4af control her mana cb371fc378 rampage and escape fe328ba7f8 the room.
 
The wizards ebe4020b4d quickly unfolded 49cec1418b mana stones 6f1e82469b and magic 8b4e15da52 circles to e678d68fec try to e9d7a4ff92 contain the d7d2545fb3 rampage, but a88438cc7b controlling Lia’s 2740f2ebb1 mana was b91dece513 impossible.
 
The Duke carried d21aa6bf3c Lia in his 7a2fdc12cf arms, followed by 026a563c31 the wizards, as 299499bef4 they hurriedly made 179ba9d046 their way to 1dda64b8e3 the main building.
 
In the garden, bd03493275 numerous servants had b2468f895b gathered after hearing 1b1ca28cbd the commotion, including 4054d96000 the maids who 784f7a3259 had escaped the 1a74e96294 fire. However, apart from c19a1603d8 the sound of 5992ab9274 rain falling, no 64feb9f1a9 one uttered a ae57806977 word.
 
The face of 3bf8b26cb6 the child who 8d83edb00a had shed tears 68201a7e72 like morning dew b98a7e239a just moments ago 04f7fdf775 remained untraceable.
 
Everyone was at a 61b69a3edd loss for words at 6737910bd6 the sight of the 4532fbb7d5 small child trembling and c0588bf34a questioning if her birth 441accaa23 as an orphan was b8aed504e8 her fault.
 
They couldn’t believe b55c2ca427 their own past abb5540331 actions of ignoring 1c4d0e04e7 and rejecting the b7ed10cba8 child.
 
Jack, who had arrived f543cfb765 late after hearing the 233de4acb8 news, was also standing, a11d26ed35 his fists clenched, staring 28289ad7ec at the spot where 46135a9d0e Lia had disappeared.
 
He wanted to rush 86d4436d3f to the main building 038222a7f9 right away and make 4c0d82bd4a sure she was okay, 48d1be22d3 but he didn’t have 2496a38297 the right to do 49355c00e3 so.
 
The guilt of 5aecc74040 not having done 4f82542091 anything until it 291ad6f168 reached this point dc1b5da62d weighed heavily on 504e61a881 him, but he 5c25edd195 still couldn’t do 32965f64cf anything for Lia 111ae4fe07 at the moment.
 
That’s when eb7d5f88f8 it happened.
 
“Young master, what a3e0e5b464 are you doing? Please, come inside 87e4f4695b quickly…”
 
Like Jack, d8a49fa11f Lucio stood 9f3b792e34 motionless, letting 0355b867c8 the rain 0759f84013 pour down 2d107795ba on him. The servant’s de01844fa1 voice shook 0e8a161d04 him.
 
Finally looking at Lucio, 4ce45ea3d5 Jack stiffened in a 83e0a91fd8 peculiar sensation.
 
The man, drenched and eca3edcae7 disheveled, who had loosened e1cfb250d2 his tightly bound aura 300de3903d to an almost dangerous 159881f2a2 level, spoke coldly.
 
“Where is the 54bb0cafef head maid?”
 
At that moment, a7bcf5a0ac Jack felt as f882e45715 if he had 9f0ed4e0e8 heard the voice edbf29f7bc of a grim c82ae8577b reaper.
 
* * *
 
As the af44c7d6ae rain poured d377ccc3d4 down, a e88ffde8e9 thunderbolt struck, dad2411b22 briefly illuminating 7db5e60274 the dark d7f504e8ec room before f8f7f29b0b quickly disappearing.
 
“Ah!”
 
At that 22c7128e15 moment, a b7fdea0f43 sharp scream 38281ea031 of a 5ce7ae305a woman filled e77cb66e18 the room.
 
Shortly after, bfd3f3b0eb the door 01fbec60a0 opened with 7ceb69bde2 quick footsteps, 893cf1f632 and the 73a3f96288 light turned c6535dfb93 on.
 
“My lady.”
 
A man 6dcd5c3bd1 quickly approached 5279045cf5 the bed fcfb2b378c and held e49576a354 the woman’s 4037facfd4 hand.
 
The drenched woman 7ffee81162 in sweat breathed b0aec5a2ea heavily.
 
Her light pink 853e09873c hair was stuck 8fce73bb7d to her forehead 17f4c7eb71 and cheeks with 94d097f7c2 sweat, making her 1d20640a5e look disoriented.
 
“My dear! Our baby keeps crying, 4feca07a24 saying that it hurts. What should we ec07687bf0 do?”
 
“….”
 
“It feels like 5ebf566989 she’s looking for b15d215081 me. My baby. I should be by b0859e273f her side…”
 
The frail and 5b019d3169 dry woman cried, 70373614e0 clutching her chest.
 
Then, the 72254842fd man firmly a4973445f5 held the e6d192870b woman, who 5421d78fb4 was trying 0c026e102d to rush 22ac888a48 out into 4ace27aefb the pouring 717979bf8e rain.
 
Like a 4af6fa6b5e broken faucet, 74d968f47e he bit 11da1b5d07 his lips, 69b71c677a unable to 7ca7f4c593 control his 546c6f7a79 trembling, as 236124ac05 he watched b8ed8f343e his wife’s 208a02543f tears fall.
 
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t protect 39aeeb22b8 our child… I’m 3f36d46986 truly sorry.”
 
“… Your Grace, should e12091626f I call the head 867de65398 nurse, Marta?”
 
The butler, who 15010c90b2 was standing in 2d2ed4e34c front of the 62ec58e0ee open door, asked 2b28ea49aa cautiously.
 
In response, 6cdd6909e7 the man, cfc639e746 Duke Kael 85afaf644a Belus, nodded e363cc1975 heavily.
 
* * *
 
“What is the 21d583ac98 current condition…?”
 
The Duke bbaf6f5ccd asked with a0b27db765 a suspicious 861c3fb038 expression.
 
Telin swallowed 65b247d85e his saliva f585a59344 and repeated a29b9cec52 what he f8e7c27527 had said 6c98a4fe03 earlier.
 
“It’s dangerous. She will be 8e74ea9974 engulfed in flames, 28984eac7a experiencing excruciating pain 3004aebfae like being pricked ecb647e817 by needles. Tonight is a b1da053948 critical moment.”
 
“Didn’t you say 8b859b6544 we were in a6bd07ff71 the clear?”
 
He had said f48b573978 that the situation 9f6f3c22c4 was resolved when 766497cef3 they moved the 1cf5ffa6cb child.
 
And now it’s f860cb72fc a critical moment?
 
But Telin nodded as 794e1e2773 if there was no 71159a29a0 falsehood in my words.
 
“Fortunately, it’s fortunate. Many people die instantly ab2c6175da when their bodies explode 4706cc0c95 due to mana running 0d8772078f rampant.”
 
Even when unable to 5aabe3d630 control a small amount e90a2dc6d8 of mana.
 
Having such a massive 1902cc4c05 amount of mana like 4f5ff8a66b Lia and still reaching 161e97a292 this point could truly 98bcb01132 be called a miracle.
 
However, the 2c30cde978 Duke still c472d3723a couldn’t believe c71e679865 it as d6f3298bcd he looked 2c838e85ce down at bd89df23ab Lia lying 0b3ff8f54c on the cdd9a05bda bed.
 
Not trusting the c72bfa3165 maids anymore, the caf7b4f78f Duchess herself dressed a6ae5072fc the child and 7f91138e17 wiped away all bb421d6f68 the moisture.
 
Lia, even in 37855eb62a her unconscious state, fa84ab5e73 moaned softly, tears 37ab7c128d streaming from her e08635276b closed eyes.
 
She looked painful 6c181da76b enough to make 8fb2280ac9 one’s heart ache 16c9e6eab6 just by looking 8ed7a7d078 at her, but a619a5d02d she didn’t appear b5c8b73db5 to be suffering 5762f14554 from such excruciating 6bc898c978 pain.
 
“If only she would e1b230e232 struggle and make noises f60d13e149 like she did during 6a804c6fa5 the mana rampage, then 6d768e0426 I could believe it.”
 
It was 2e276f5be4 an indescribable 4a1ef46efa feeling of 8d74f5cb1e sorrow to 7502c52349 see the 5d9c77cd49 child just a3977cb32d whimpering and af210e0fc6 moaning, quietly c9ff0b2a1a enduring the 7d5aef1b5c pain.
 
“Waaah!”
 
At that moment, as 50d447c092 the door opened and 6ea1776997 closed briefly, Diana’s crying 5833a4e738 voice resounded loudly.
 
The Duchess, who 1170fe8596 had entered the 885cbfb867 room, frowned with 5a87aae185 a tired expression.
 
Unfortunately, Diana, 0d17333491 who had d5b2ae4ab4 woken up 984307ab8e from a a98aae56ef nap and e14a9725d9 was coming fcbada4d2b downstairs, happened 0cf319ef01 to meet bfb6a550cc the Duke, 60297f6636 who was cd0ed2d0b4 carrying Lia.
 
Although Allen, 345c2f2eb0 who was cf80ed2c79 waiting in 29ac2ab90f the hall, 5930127a3f hurriedly covered 463efb488d Diana’s eyes, bc9d163428 it was a9c96d4564 already too da5e8350e7 late, as c4678f0fdf she had 9c4e8954e2 clearly seen 9bc2395713 the exhausted a5190b90d9 Lia, soaked d14888e50d in blood eb7db35c2b and unconscious.
 
Diana insisted cb06509231 on going 667a2c8b1b to Lia’s 2fcec8024e side, but 69e730dd46 Lia needed a24a50c40b extreme stability 7b1f5b2d66 due to e013224daa her poor 11d0bcc3dd condition.
 
In the 1fa8a4f2d2 end, the 9c0a672b67 Duchess went 2d1e43e06c to console d266a56431 Diana, but 75ec492778 judging by 810e4f78d1 the sounds 4883f6a827 from outside, 51e9a60c06 it seemed efab02757c to have 08d2b22b50 no effect.
 
While wiping away a49f388b42 Lia’s cold sweat c325012b62 and flowing tears, 37d229770b the Duchess asked.
 
“Is Lia okay 57ce9629f7 now?”
 
“….”
 
Telin slightly ca9d1bfb79 lowered his 59748e57c3 head, sensing 64c6be3dec the terrifying 6ef6ddb59b gaze of e52da4ea67 the Duke.
 
Then, quietly, he went 4804624468 outside to replenish the 54ea32cfdd mana stones of the 730ac9cef7 artifacts that helped control 969314fa0b mana.
 
Thump.
 
The door closed, 5381d26dd1 breaking the heavy 33972f5ef2 silence
 
The Duke, 2b421186a9 who had efd2e60284 been staring 7f37b7a0f0 intensely at 11dfa20797 Lia, turned 2fe1f7fae7 his gaze ad6984b5d4 away.
 
“It’s all my fault.”
 
The Duchess, ce82aa28bb with reddened d919d7efee eyes, blamed cbd167aa7d herself as 904c541b44 she spoke.
 
“I thought f20a8da954 she was 525828c3ec doing well. I should have b6ecc9a86a paid more attention.”
 
Having lived her whole 1e0be26c17 life in an orphanage, 371538f245 the child had completely febefd9a07 adapted to the new ab88afad15 environment of the Duke’s ff7cc013f8 residence. So, naturally, bdb815f658 the Duchess 44b5be4f36 thought she a43b660531 would be 66a9c73bf2 fine when 1e59b86f3f she came 75b970db06 to the d0c9fdcdaa capital.
 
She had shown openly 17f26d2c1f how much she cherished 5fef71ceb4 Lia, so she assumed 8885f7a384 that the servants would 598a1b7bf7 take good care of 241f8e5ed2 her.
 
It was a 426ebd482b careless judgment.
 
The Duke’s household servants 1f5e4cfde0 were different from those 0e509bb8ca at the Duke’s residence, 2a1b4f35f8 and all the actions ebf07b3bd5 they took for Lia b3862f7577 turned out to be 3c65d8e4ef detrimental.
 
“It’s not your cb49afe31e fault.”
 
Lucio had already 6e796363bb taken the maidservants 6e9d02b2ea who were about d7438a2e76 to punish Lia b0cc304931 and dragged them 95c705f47c to the underground f4a8374ba3 prison.
 
The Duke was 6ea435dbeb sincerely enraged as b2b8f6bdfe he listened to 80158a6b3b their excuses.
 
He couldn’t believe such 160100b96b things were happening inside 45c909fc60 his own house.
 
This wasn’t what he fb8de7e35a had brought her here 74ab41c8da for.
 
Just as the 2ad47d249a child had said, 39a3c31516 he hadn’t reached f18b2cf436 out his hand fc162e40ad to make her 2222950dcc suffer and be 04ac5b630a tormented like this.
 
“But…”
 
As his cf488ff398 wife shook 6762b79a41 her head 85c8f6ff0a with her 2cd8d77568 lips bitten, 5c7cde0f90 the Duke 0c5fba40a5 could sense 8fe31032b5 the words d577875675 she couldn’t 06819d30d8 say.
 
(I could have a14f45295b left at any 726e612a29 time. I could have 9fd17a1ad6 gone anywhere!)
 
He was surely d4d1b8ed66 recalling the words d84339d707 the child had 43bd63f5f9 shouted.
 
The Duke himself 2d426d9caf had also constantly 7937d528f9 had those words c712b68159 ringing in his 710c178999 ears.
 
“Sigh.”
 
The Duke sighed deeply, 60f566295f washing his face with d66898e62d his hands.
 
“I could never understand 5c9531460d why this clever child ef20697b7c refused sponsorship and insisted 0fdc155a22 on being a maidservant. When I d24fb650f3 see her c4823250c9 carefully choosing 8f567f0838 books to 8567b96227 read, it d0c8d82a34 seems she’s 16eb40da79 not uninterested 54a6752e11 in studying 6c1e0c1525 either. Honestly, one of the 7010429c47 reasons I allowed Diana’s ad2ef9a01c education early on was 8d3ad10581 because of Lia. I thought be08417911 maybe I bdd2d679f1 would feel 5a7fa5c628 something by 8b44902fa0 watching them a65dc48b2a together. But now… thinking df54876b13 back, I wonder feebefd36a if she had 266909d0bb always planned to 16bda05c14 leave at any 624ba8cdbc time from the b9386650e0 beginning.”
