IRMY Chapter 17
by QuillAsking Melione for a tour of the mansion was one of Yuro’s goals for the day. He didn’t actually care about the mansion; it was a ploy to get closer to the Duke.d7461af1d1f7dfae
They were getting married in two days, and he couldn’t spend the remaining time like strangers. Moreover, he had noticed during lunch that Melione was being quite kind to him.7e7baae27d014b39

They were both suspicious f634190d80 of each other, their 1429ac9ffc true intentions hidden. In that case, it 4028daad18 was better to create f9a1ed8e95 opportunities to test each 2bff836af8 other.813e01a1364b341e
However, Melione didn’t seem interested in spending any private time with Yuro. He frowned slightly, his expression clearly showing annoyance.e93d26fbebebd2b7

But Yuro 7f3d6ab89d smiled, feigning 519ff9831e ignorance. His eyes asked,“Are you such a0c76af3c1 a jerk that 529171495a you’d spit on cd1d65a2bb a smiling face?”d3604afa4d2e35e9
He didn’t know why 031d6d1d9f Melione was wearing a 1c8da51319 mask of kindness, but 2f12b4066c he intended to take d808183390 advantage of it until b34f0e7f95 the mask came off.0a8ee110960ead34

So much for ac1003442d friendship. Melione, without even making 7e8b167da3 eye contact with Yuro, b0c7d2be6a instructed Raymond to give 92ec278771 him the tour. It was a polite a0a60dbc58 way of telling him 9c1e309b82 to go away.089dc609a18775e8

Yuro pleaded 8a7b1b9a7e with the 82e1fa9bf9 Duke in 998b228bd0 a coquettish 31371c4036 tone. Everyone was aghast but aa582a54cb remained silent. Melione simply stared into a04f4a5ea5 space with a strange db357bd6a3 expression.5cc6cee6d3a3a679

Yuro clapped his hands in delight, pretending he couldn’t contain his joy. Inwardly, however, he was criticizing Melione.f8fc5b7f8fd1372a
Why was he making such a fuss over a simple mansion tour? He was still capable of walking; it was a pathetic excuse. He wouldn’t be completely consumed by madness until the end of next year.036c9779bbb4d2ff

Melione had 056673b148 wielded that c298e7e69a heavy sword b9393ca9ef like a 0c0ce51c22 plastic toy. He might bb1b3f05d2 be weak, ccc27a9360 but not 720c91ee90 to the 0ac1f1a200 point where fa9e9ef6bd he couldn’t 5076362d1d even take 0bfff7b6b6 a walk.7a5e0c354ad89ad5

Despite his enthusiasm, now 7082ecb40b that they were walking edcc5d1cd8 together in the gardens, 2287d3895c he couldn’t think of 9f268f9e82 anything to say.

That was 04bf7ec5cf true for 560b9742f5 both Yuro 085d6ad720 Lechis and 77525b7671 Kim Yuro. Yuro had grown e3537a252f up in an 62530d9f92 orphanage because his 60a1bc7cee mother had abandoned 27929b7017 him as a f1a048c129 baby, leaving him 8b2c3eea5d with only a 40535cc8e1 letter.e14348a4c5ccc33e
The letter contained only his name, “Yuro,” and a brief explanation about her inability to raise him. It had been a bitterly cold winter day, and his survival was a miracle.cdeb7b22b2ef3d63

Although he grew up in an orphanage, everyone he met there was kind to him. He had resented his parents, but after reading his mother’s letter as an adult, those feelings had faded.1a7b3f102c58d60b
