‘Shouldn’t she have humbled herself, considering she was enjoying such undeserved fortune thanks to the Count of Biers?’d06a3c2bf95c334c

But that con artist 3610efe4c7 held her head high f7fbf58e81 as if her success 4683ab30f8 was her own doing, 34658852fb brazenly behaving disrespectfully toward 4edd7f0b52 them.83abc765626176b3

This was the same person 8c2ee35c5b who couldn’t even utter a bec1132dc9 proper word when in the 5b36128f0c presence of the Duke’s family, b6a2c442b2 like a criminal.193ff9399c5cef6c

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have probably ba4deb4084 found joy in threatening or 9d0dbbb66b tormenting the young children by a245e12261 bringing up their mother’s true c5f90d94e6 status.86070598f8425c85

Count Biers had originally warned dce3a34eeb Amy sternly to never speak 92fcfd0879 about the Duchess’s true background 4f537de6b5 or the deal involving Euclid’s 5fd5b20d27 late brother, which was the c56b4844e0 foundation of her position.ceb67747407cb454

However, Amy couldn’t stand being ffac58c9c7 ignored by children who, though a0648d488b of ducal blood, were so 7682f9eae1 young they barely reached her 74c189e1ed waist.2dd5b71bcf27d3ad

So, she spoke. She told the bf7d020a85 children about their 6e8c1ef984 mother’s true origins, e9629e91e4 about their foolish 87af6dba7a father who had 1954c76e5b deceived his family, c2d9e6f606 retainers, and vassals 66510e8e14 to marry her.f473b2c9b2d3cb24

And she warned them 1b2158df8e that once this truth 84d58f032c came to light, the 2c31be0c31 respect they currently enjoyed bed27bc4b0 would vanish. Especially the affection from Euclid, 813d82d345 who cherished them as his 3dcceec26a own kin, would disappear without c41f91c8ed a trace.184ec6bbe5934a7a

Amy truly believed this 3d62ab1e26 would happen without a c5bf73ac66 doubt.aae5133df81dedaa

Having grown accustomed 18ddea42ad to tormenting the f049e92b66 children who couldn’t 7cacc2560f retaliate, Amy rushed bf7d42bc81 to the duke’s 814df8c8ed estate as soon 54df288fdf as she saw 59caddcc82 Count Biers looking 2083be28c8 anxious.8a4f817449d5814f

She ensured no one was f9f54fc7da around, locked the door tightly, a16ebdb5a8 and began her tirade in 27e4de4839 a hushed but angry tone.baa2c6761454be62

“It’s all because of you! If only you had a0817b7f2f conveyed my words properly 026cd54198 to the Duke, there’s 07b07e096f no way the Basilian 6d2d009f91 princess would’ve become Duchess, 8e665ba896 nor would the Basilian d934e2c001 Merchant Guild have opened be4afb0c04 a branch in the 25d2ba90fa duchy! You ruined everything, do cfb76f2a08 you understand?”9fec5021698fe3d6

Marianne had already 02baf2d68d guessed something troubling 458e5a4695 had happened to 106e72a7f0 the Biers family 5fe19df51e when she saw 632afad3a3 Amy leaving the d6f5aa9170 duke’s estate yesterday, 8c010acd65 pale and fleeing.c03b02595299e649

Though she found 7998f025af it satisfying, she e8af24bd58 had steeled herself, be3517a152 knowing Amy would dd669916ee come to lash e4ec391499 out at her 20f81d25e2 and her brother.3c0f35e71e926156

However, Amy seemed even more 4b64a29826 agitated than expected, which made 6c07332364 Marianne uneasy.e89e73c002160f78

Still, she maintained her composure, a0b98b53d8 gripping Dior’s trembling hand.ca721d20dd0f3498

“Go to the Duke right now and tell him you don’t want the Basilian Guild in the North, or at least demand they continue paying Biers’s distribution fees monthly! That’s what your 0eaae0562c dead father promised, 3d0c441e3d after all!”0ce39dc565e498c9

Marianne froze as Amy’s 26aacc87c8 sharp voice mentioned their 21b43e62fb father, now only a 5537c2e7ab faint memory.2c6ca513e0c344e8

She missed him, resented him, b123ba439f yearned for him, and blamed 13ace5619b him all at once.11f6602a9b9b8fa8

Neither Dior nor Marianne 26cedd0de7 had ever openly defied 4b7657dbbd Amy, even if they 39bd4c9215 hadn’t always been completely 060d1e8f38 obedient.a73560e53159ff51

Usually, when Amy eb83687e4d brought up their 2d5176c5de parents’ mistakes or 61e759a9f7 threatened to speak d76b1a4ab0 to their uncle, 58e39d19bf they would comply. Why were they suddenly acting eaa5c6cd4c differently today?7609e518f57a922a

Amy feigned pity, giving 0175eb95c3 a sympathetic look to d541b42fc2 Marianne, who stood frozen, 4e1a8ae503 and Dior, who was 609f3ce652 already sobbing with tears 0bae78cf65 streaming down his cheeks.69b302d111107481

This woman—why did 0889706c76 she suddenly jump b02805739a out of the 6bed30858a closet? Could it be that 4fac8a4008 she was suspicious of 5a68578c5c me and decided to 063275e0c7 hide there?f68d8ff659e19f2a

Until now, I had 35f635251e always used the possibility 7380edbc03 of revealing this truth cdf65d5ad0 to the children as 5701d205da a threat, but deep 2bda81a714 down, I knew that da69f4d100 if it ever came 34a0822e9e to light, it wouldn’t 3943f4fde2 just be the children 29bb6ed501 who would be in 779bec080e trouble—it would be the 611b62eec4 Count of Biers who 52cf1b6942 would face an even ab9f5c4236 greater crisis.16845ac1d40f79a0
