“When I met His Majesty, we talked about trade. His Majesty also responded positively, and I cannot afford to hesitate.”
Aurin’s eyes were so full of life that I didn’t seem to need to ask any other questions.
“Yes, do whatever you want. Because I will always support you.”
“Thank you, Euel. It’s all thanks to you.”
“Why do you have to thank me? It’s because your youngest sister had an accident. Ah, it was a little surprising that your father cared for her so much.”
“Ah, that kid?”
There was a coldness in Aurin’s crimson eyes. She always had a bad expression whenever she talked about her youngest sister, but what I was seeing now was contempt and disgust itself.
“She is not my real sister.”
“What?”
“She is the child of a concubine.”
In the Northern Empire, legal wives as well as concubines could be placed according to their ranks. But since generations of Emperors in the Northern Empire were lovers, there were many cases where they lived happily only with the Empress.
So even among the nobility, there was an unwritten atmosphere of not having concubines implicitly. In particular, since it was common for children of concubines not to be taken into the house, the Marquis’ behavior could be said as unconventional.
“Even if my mother didn’t want it, he still let her in.”
“…….”
“At first, he made the excuse that he was pushing her to be the empress. Now that the reason was gone, he showed his true feelings. He said how could he abandon the child? Hadn’t we thought about her mother’s feelings. I guess he liked the girl’s mother a lot.”
It reminded me of Marquis Xuen, who was smiling quietly as if Aurin didn’t exist. I couldn’t imagine how much pain there must be behind Aurin’s calm expression.
“Now even that proud father has to kneel down to me. Since he is someone who would even give up his position as the Marquis for the sake of that child he loves, he must be willing to do so.”
I felt like I was seeing myself in Aurin, who spoke with viciousness.
The reason my mom was sick in my previous life was none other than my dad’s affair.
Dad was shameless. His affair was found out, but Dad rather treated Mom as a stranger to him, saying, “Is love a sin?”
Mom was afraid that I would get hurt, so she hid this for a while and blamed herself. It wasn’t until she was taken to the hospital that I learned all the facts.
“Rather I thank you and His Majesty. Nus must have the same opinion as me on this point.”
The more happy I was and the more things I held in my hands in this life, the more the longing and guilt for my mom in my previous life grew.
To leave my mom there and be happy here on my own. Am I allowed to do that?
I, who should be on Mom’s side, instead staked a nail into my mom’s heart and left. Can I forget everything here?
The answer is no.
“It is my responsibility to receive Nus’ anger and to convince him, so take it easy, Euel.”
“Thank you for saying it like that.”
“But I heard that Nus wrote to you. Are you very busy?”
“Nus? I never received a letter?”
“What? A while ago, he delivered a letter by an errand boy, he asked me to ask Euel.”
“Hmm, it must have been lost in the middle.”
I said it lightly, I already had a similar case in my head.
– I kept writing. Really, I did.
Ethyl’s resentful expression and tone.
“We’re here. Aurin, you can get off first.”
“See you later.”
There was only one person who would snatch the letter in the middle. Did he think that if he did this, I would go see him, or did he think this would go undetected?
Whatever it was, I was offended. I should not go to the imperial palace because he might have anticipated me coming.
Just when he asked why I didn’t come to the imperial palace, I’ll definitely discuss the letter

After Lili Xuen’s incident, I often went home with Gael. After hearing the story of Marquisate Xuen, my parents obviously didn’t tell her anything.
“Gael, do you have any friends?”
“Yes! Look at this, Sister. They give me a ribbon too?”
Gael, who had brightened up a lot, was excitedly holding a pink ribbon that a friend had given her.
“You have a lot of them at home, do you like ribbons that much?”
“Yes! Gael really likes ribbons. Sister, please tie this up.”
“You have to go to a meeting soon, right? What kind of ribbon should you wear?”
The time has come for Gael to attend the gathering for her age group. Before, Mother wouldn’t let her go because she had to adapt to Alin, but now it’s time to show her face.
“Um…….”
Gael, who was struggling, was so cute that I poked her on the cheek.
“Alright, purple ribbon! The one given by Sister.”
My younger sister mentioned an old ribbon I gave her for her birthday when we were in Varen.
“Let’s go with something prettier than that.”
“That’s the best for Gael. It was given by Sister.”
“Sister will give you a prettier ribbon, will you go with that?”
“Yes!”
I said I would give her a new one because she would surely be ridiculed if she wore that cheap, faded ribbon. Gael excitedly nodded her head.
I was going to go as a guardian to the ‘Deuce’, a meeting that Gael would participate in. I had a lot of work to do, but it was nothing to make time for Gael.
And I met an unexpected person in this place.
“Dr. Blest?”
“Who? Ah, Lady Hardland.”
“Good to see you again here.”
Today, a well-groomed Weathering Blest was at the party. With his shaggy hair tidied up and pulled back, he looked quite like Duke Lantia, who was graceful even with his glasses on.
When I looked it up in the nobility book, Blest was a baron family, a distant descendant of Duchy Lantia. Although I don’t think this guy is the next baron.
“I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“I came as a guardian for my nephew. My cousins are busy.”
From where he pointed his chin was a boy who seemed to have just turned 10.
“I was waiting for you, why didn’t you contact me?”
“I thought the doctor was busy because I didn’t hear from you even though you wanted to know who I was.”
“Hahaha. I tried to contact you, but my cousin stopped me.”
“Duke Lantia?”
“A letter to Lady Hardland, I’m going to be buried by competitors because you are so prominent? He thought I was sending a love letter to the Lady. Haha.”
