Dizziness and Stomachache
We were told everything, and it was enough to give a stomachache as if I ate a sweet cake.
“Mom.”
“What can I say…”
I couldn’t believe Mother would be so forceful.
But what puzzled me was why she had given the money.
It didn’t seem like a final act of affection.
“Mother, what are you thinking?”
“Hehe, the fun is just beginning.”
I’m afraid to find out what that fun is.
“Even if we banish her from the territory, it won’t be the end.”
I thought that with her status already stripped, she couldn’t do anything, but I was naive.
“She’s a cunning person. Just making her a commoner isn’t enough to keep her in check.”
“That is…”
“Above all, Lord Diaz is shining now. Those who were pushed aside behind the scenes are looking for his weakness.”
I swallowed hard.
I didn’t understand the horrors of high society.
“As for why Lord Diaz was mistreated to this extent… in a way, she’s a typical noblewoman. A devious woman.”
“In a way, Shepherd grew up sheltered.”
Using a woman’s weapons to make people sympathize with her.
Knowing how to gain an advantage for oneself.
It’s terrifying to think about.
“So, I’ll let her swim. Marie, don’t act alone.”
“Yes.”
“Well, it seems the Duke’s family will send a Royal Guard over”
Yes?
What did you just say?
Mother.
“Mother, Royal Guards usually protect the Royalty.”
“Oh? Lord Diaz is a distant relative of the Duke’s family now, no? Because the Monhan family is related to the Duke’s family.”
“Well, even so…”
“It”s okay. I asked the First Knight Commander.”
The First Knight Commander.
“The Margrave…”
“I feel dizzy.”
“It’s okay; you’ll get used to it.”
Will I ever become as strong as Mother?
Will the day come when I have an unshakable, steel spirit, no matter what happens?
“Marie, don’t imitate my Mom; she’s extreme! Seriously.”
“Henry, you are too worried.”
“Yes, because of your carefree behavior, Mom.”
Yeah, it seems impossible for me for a while.
I thought to myself that I couldn’t become like Mother right away.
“Now, we have to expand our business.”
“Yes, you’re right. We don’t have time to fool around.”
“We also need to prepare to crush the enemy forces.”
While I wanted to get closer to Mother’s active personality at all times, I didn’t know that many things were happening behind the scenes.
