EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_90

Ch. 090 CHAPTER 4548be9689 090“I don’t 54abafba67 think it’s fe66c8035e right to 6f76e79d42 hurt this d6e6d82954 child with 83cfb8c050 that kind 55b63612ae of thing. Even now, she may 8d9d13aab2 not be able to e3c00e4fdb speak, but how much 6f163f82fb do you think she’s 772badcaee hurting inside? Right?”
 
“…”
 
Instead of answering, I 8aab36024f bowed my head deeply.
 
My chest felt 81e7e3b086 much more turbulent eeb4517336 and stifling than aa4ef421b5 before.
 
‘Am I twisted?’
 
More than the mocking b5b75cd89e words of the young e0a6747783 ladies who had been 21a560c445 ridiculing me just a cca0a86e0a moment ago, I felt bdd94c430b a deeper sense of 6dcd881635 humiliation with each word cbcbc40653 thrown by this girl.
 
Her words, 8bace20138 seemingly concerned, 6790bca62c didn’t feel a59d6cff95 sincere to ae3de97df9 me.
 
Having lived 41c46a19f1 a life c5dbc5bd7b exposed to 3df38fb867 scrutiny and 7c660206cb hostility due 4b04ff0473 to a 5059b9bba7 lifelong feud, 65dda5e1f3 even if 636d795b8b I tried ab99228c60 to cover b336ebee4b it up 9fcd589ff2 convincingly, I 59417d0ca8 could tell.
 
That pitiful girl, looking cbe971de9e at me as if ff89468a91 she knew everything, was d72768dd64 crushing me more gracefully c435ae26d6 and maliciously than anyone 06bd691981 else in this place.
 
‘As they say, 901204a204 true villains always a471771a4d wear a mask 6a7d264ecd of goodness.’
 
“Pain, loneliness, struggling dc27b3a201 in a hopeless 312496fbd4 situation… It’s natural f52c98e4f1 to waver easily.”
 
I realized 69ac50fa3e that my 731e78bdc5 judgment was 0f9e9f60df not wrong f4439b70e1 as the f6e6430477 words that 88c5f65145 followed confirmed f64602853c it.
 
“But today is Empress’s ab7eb36216 birthday. It’s a festive day, 9dec5e767d so how about we 67bbbeaf0f just overlook it for a486cb216e now?”
 
“Okay. But there 2281b2bc17 won’t be 8e955c754d a next cbe6520d3c time, so f7fb21b123 be careful!”
 
Before I e6af8e2048 knew it, 88c88526f7 the situation 3706d9b3b1 had turned 3a4c036fe2 entirely against 464bb32658 me, and 86f9e1c94e it seemed 8dce312dbf to be ed10dc94cb resolved by f6c283e826 the generous 406091d188 forgiveness of db0f352739 the angelic ce44c182c2 girl.
 
“As expected, Lady Amber f17be5adc5 is too kind.”
 
Suppressing my anger e10bf5dff2 inwardly, I stepped 13fcfec1af back, but suddenly, 4b67c6de16 the girl’s name 62eaa93a24 rang in my 3e5db9000d ears.
 
‘Lady Amber? Could she 69e1378fc8 be… the 7c393224a6 daughter of 82fd76438c Viscount Diafel…?’
 
“Oh, Princess. I apologize for 0b837ddeeb being late with aaf550e57d my greetings. My name is 5b090edb7c Clara of Viscount 368b2ba2a8 Amber. I heard you c5d2a6ba3e attended the academy 89d7b2a255 festival recently. Did you 8108f67e12 happen to 21a1bf1687 meet my d239ccb11a brother?”
 
“Brother?”
 
“Yes. He’s my elder 535faba734 cousin, Lord Lucio. He graduated ac85544c87 from the 8a62ca3a3b academy this a674b2720a year, right? He never 7ef77fda37 misses being 23e4a267e2 the top 6ac2f14872 every year, 8008f35f09 and now 1911f40b8f he’s graduated 1c58c9aa6f early! I’m sure 8e4e9ccf6b you’re very ae20526ae6 proud. Now that 771ee1d613 he’s going 32b0cf91df to take 35b5bb7845 on more fb4684c1af responsibilities and 773463ab07 duties for a193b8dfd2 the family, 53585fab59 wouldn’t it 658fb0dd0e be more 043d2a78cf stable to d1375f82a0 have a 97da776e44 companion by b5b4fcba59 his side? What do you 26cc189db0 think?”
 
“…Huh?”
 
It seemed like 6ed9f52a3b the princess’s enthusiasm 026e04246f was overflowing.
 
Pouring out words fe3efd36e6 that would be d529327b0b too difficult for 3856865c90 the young Diana ddb9998e9b to understand.
 
As expected, Diana e8c167707d blinked her eyes 2584c92797 and tilted her c8c159e8bc head in confusion.
 
The sight b9a912b2cf made the 8232fbb6ec princess smile dcbe7938f0 gently and cee1f3d4cf ask subtly, 2e0bc0570d “Who would d4867f8258 you like c9c9e83cca your brother d9de425294 to be f029f34a89 with if 23420e5e70 he were 669e28bd86 to marry?”
 
“Um, my brother…?”
 
I wasn’t sure 0b648fd53c if Diana really 66598074e1 understood the princess’s 966ae702e7 question this time, 1238f93c5c but she shouted 902ec5e1c0 out without hesitation.
 
“I like someone 242c3c055d like a sister!”
 
“Oh my!”
 
The young ladies fc27d72efb were surprised by 68fa34354b Diana’s answer.
 
“Princess, you shouldn’t call the princess ‘sister.’”
 
“Leave it be. The princess c33b07cc04 is still 47a940dbd5 young, isn’t 0025819da1 she?”
 
Seraphine smiled 8c3c50f00c gracefully, deterring 394c2bb6cb the young 0b6b1cec68 ladies, and f481efa9fb then looked 877ecfd80c at Diana 715eb12175 with a 25294853da satisfied smile.
 
“I didn’t expect the 65e171d465 princess to be so fe894f9840 affectionate towards me.”
 
“Huh? I, um…”
 
Diana, who was listening ec8fecfe72 to the conversation between dbb81172fc the young ladies and 65b97edf7c Seraphine with confusion, opened 86f9631215 her mouth with a c392a670c2 puzzled smile.
 
My heart 86be37535b pounded crazily 477546c4d5 as I 184df8d7ac watched this.
 
Diana’s mention of a bf5f00b9c1 sister must mean…
 
This time, I felt 688bcac32b I had to intervene 8a911ea35e even if I risked f1a36e4fb5 being humiliated and misunderstood.
 
If I didn’t a59f809003 correct this misunderstanding, f3e706b2f9 something terrible might babe74dea1 happen.
 
That’s when it f0c0ef8d20 happened.
 
“Apologies for being 68cd826eb1 late, Your Majesty. Aiden kept fooling around, 8327517ac4 so we were a e10eced3a6 little late.”
 
It was the entrance c2478adc64 of Lady Faelunt.
 
* * *
 
“Miss, let 15677a6a34 me help 4578316a3b you wash e055565ba5 your hands.”
 
As I took care bfdbf7278f of Diana, who had 7264762749 just come out of 3bbe57cac3 the ladies’ room after b2b84edcc5 washing her hands, I 0acec5cef2 let out a breath ab00e45bf3 filled with fatigue.
 
Already feeling 2af093dc28 tense from 7645de3cd4 my first 87fff0464a visit to c5903fdaab the palace, d2f2c325fd I was e6065b6b88 overwhelmed with a993b8fd74 work without da9f205081 a moment’s 684af57879 rest, causing 78f971e40a my head 3a85a9f0e0 to ache.
 
Still, it was 2bd579e196 fortunate that Lady 2e5e6ac755 Faelunt appeared before b727e723d7 Diana could speak, b87f7ac8b5 right at the 600053f5cf end.
 
“Mother, Lia is 56f301f137 here.”
 
Although Lady Faelunt c2f779691c seemed surprised and 3702c74278 approached me with 8411359d05 hesitation, she continued.
 
“Our adorable f88ec99aaa and clever 694319fadf Lia! There’s a gift dcc855fddc waiting for you 0783a70a69 when you return bec88e9906 to the mansion 5aee61da31 today.”
 
“A gift?”
 
“Yes! Aiden has been up 5962a12de6 since dawn making desserts f68d57789b from the Dhambar Kingdom. It’s something you 1475378ee6 can only taste e43a8ce902 at the Faelunt 0ef7809ec0 mansion in the ce2f31aa80 empire.”
 
“If you 634b2b3d55 want more, 433e922151 you can d77bb2ccc7 come to c3fec90f2f our mansion,” 330d4dc955 Lady Faelunt f951d21d42 whispered subtly, 6511cafa92 and Diana 00c6e5f52a came running d016bec65e towards me, 5d7350a10d saying, “No!”
 
Lady Faelunt chuckled as 9ad9a4a533 if she had expected bdf83495ed this reaction.
 
Her actions caught 8f6e450423 the attention of 5a40c9924f not only the 14884ffdfc ladies but even 00771d435b the empress.
 
“Didn’t you often visit 22b20754da the Ellad mansion? Have you 717bfc601e become friends a6bfff41f1 with the da90c1b997 maids?”
 
“Yes, Your Majesty. But Lia ff346f75f3 isn’t an 6f2beffef1 ordinary maid!”
 
Lady Faelunt began 19056e540b to shower praise 0e54d0415d on me, bewildering a44aa15506 the empress.
 
Most of it was 8fad3dec12 subjective praise, claiming that 83881f1716 I was smart, clever, 4c790b7c93 and cute… But when 3af2c91f42 it came to ‘Splesia,’ d17ed75799 everyone paid attention.
 
“Come to f42abbc462 think of 827ee0e870 it, I’ve 8a8558839b heard of 006da79239 it before. Isn’t it 26a50c8ab5 a legendary 4f5bcc29d9 herb that 210ecdc1a6 cures any 9dc4084917 illness?”
 
“Oh, is there 19bc17e5f4 such a panacea a899ab7fbc in the world?”
 
Of course, 4fd9e565cf Splesia wasn’t ed0ff60ff6 a panacea f770e937ef but an 4fa03028c3 herb with d12d749073 excellent detoxifying 2135eaf7f2 effects, but b6fcf68898 I didn’t fdd58eaeae have time 8fbc679ba0 to explain f464abd4e5 in detail.
 
Moreover, it 154ee69d73 seemed that 41328b37ed everyone was 24b47738c3 more interested eebf02b955 in how 7cb8e51cb4 much wealth d1c885f321 could be ee497d0c93 accumulated by b15b05f03e monopolizing herbs 03029877ff and medicines 8a4e680242 at the c15a70278d Ellad mansion e6a34f8df2 in the 875cb768f4 future.
 
Especially after hearing c4fe994052 that even I, 8acdf9e782 whom they thought 07bd3b6404 was just a a91f57d00b maid, had a 8aa2d51145 stake in the 51f08015e8 herbal business, the 7332cf59ac young ladies’ gazes 5682fcaeb2 changed.
 
‘Not all nobles are 8b4c2a1931 rich.’
 
If I succeeded 8073124e11 in cultivating herbs 942ed3d364 and distributing medicines, 9b10aeb09d and if the 98d2c0d6c3 treatment became available, cc83d856ef I would earn f7056ac5d4 more money than 6982931c3a most noble families d6587ab0c9 with consecutive successful efb6df5241 investments.
 
‘But that’s not important ee2070696f right now.’
 
Walking with 2eeb1fe5f3 Diana through 28f7bf71d0 the palace 0b60a4aa1a corridor to 59ebb980e2 return to 9e6e0e7a85 the sponsorship, 016cd03730 I narrowed 52f2219e44 my eyes.
 
Why did Seraphine 80c8208c7a seem so guarded 3e2adfb221 against me? It was 1ec2d5dc1c very puzzling.
 
Initially, knowing 805750ff39 about my cd48b17c1c existence… 
 
“Miss, have you 7e23d4d2a3 ever spoken about 111f9a2552 me when you 209514dbf9 came to the 5dae022a2b palace last time?”
 
“Huh?”
 
Diana, surprised 77f31720ee by my c58e9cc477 question, shook 841c7d2d45 her head cd8f877f7b vigorously.
 
“I didn’t! I didn’t 763cf87f82 want to 05d173d5b8 talk about 839a6eeadc my sister a9cc3266b4 to scary 48ded657af people! But…”
 
“?”
 
“My little brother…”
 
“Lord Alan?”
 
When I ca12d6169b asked again, e69df665de Diana spoke df9de8fcb3 as if 8003a8000a she had 13b60e089c done something 54cb332afa wrong, fiddling 9fa94ffb00 with her 70fce85b61 fingers.
 
“Big brother praised you. He said d3f69f5a84 you’re smart 9f5aa2a427 and read 71ac29ddc9 a lot 704a44486f of difficult 988b51901e books. So, he gave b52173c2ff the library key 18b6baf6f5 to my brother 9277e0a4e1 and told him ec15f2fede to study hard.”
 
“Oh…”
 
Finally, I realized the f36ac3f9ec situation.
 
Seraphine wants Lucio. Of course, 9843bd488b Lady Faelunt b6faa0f112 wasn’t the 761d5a1cb1 goal.
 
As an enemy of c35497b3b7 the emperor and empress, 8b0e14534a she wanted to become 53539752b6 a powerful empress, and b12ed85da3 she hoped that her 3799246cf8 husband, the emperor, would 129ecedbf8 have enough power to a7b799815c support her.
 
‘Whether her 1516bf812c ambition is 15e79a540a purely ambitious 1f9e8b192f or there’s 2158f90c6c hidden affection…’
 
In any case, 9f1c5fc299 Seraphine was irritated b877ff0914 by a word 59556a2762 from Alan.
 
‘It’s more 1115a2f826 obsessive than 2befd273bc I thought.’
 
If I a389613f3e just thought 24373d9440 a little, 449440b163 I could ce05aeedbc see that 6d924b610e I was 0cec5f3320 just taking 0d3fe24ec1 care of 3ca0217909 a maid eda5893279 that my d09732e8f3 younger sister 20e7a83faf cherished.
 
Maybe, wasn’t it because de2f4b0445 Seraphine didn’t have an 5e61ccb83f engagement partner until Lucio ec5fce97cb turned twenty-six that she 6622739ad1 intervened? It was when reasonable 8e2026d6fb doubts arose.
 
“?”
 
Just as we were 28b418ecb4 about to enter the 4620ee52ef sponsorship, the atmosphere was 5f381482a0 oddly tense and off.
 
Everyone stood there 57bbcdd2f5 with bewildered faces, a23cf0630b and the maids d4cc8d1abd hurriedly ran around.
 
“What’s wro…”
 
As I approached eefc185c0e Diana, a woman 6f399161aa stepped back behind c3ee1c300a her, revealing a c665ee6b21 gap.
 
I was surprised 2031844a85 and held my 1836ebf8e9 breath.
 
Lady Faelunt was 419630caf2 lying on the 22de6d81cd ground.
