The contents of the letter handed to me by Henry contained expressions of dissatisfaction and offers of assistance towards me.
Among them were hastily written insults towards Henry and words that were unforgivable towards Mother.
“I no longer have any anger.”
“Mother used it as an excuse for drinking and laughed. Said she could write a novel.”
“That’s right.”
There’s no need to read any further.
They demand that I return to the territory to provide support.
And it seems they also wish for a reconciliation with Father.
—Come back immediately.
A failure like you has no business in the Capital.
If you return now, we will forgive you.
“What do they want?”
The contents of the letters were all similar.
“What about their letters to Father?”
“He’s now a Count. He’ll receive the title of Marquis later. Of course, Lord Prime Minister is seemingly keeping an eye out for them… or something like that.”
“Do you think Lady Oriana would allow it?”
It’s a well-known fact in society that Lady Oriana and Father are close acquaintances.
It’s unlikely that she would approve.
“He’s probably destroying them before they even arrive.”
“That’s true.”
Knowing Father, he would also take measures before causing trouble for His Majesty or Lord Prime Minister.
“Are they pretending to reconcile for the sake of the territory?”
“That’s impossible.”
Women can’t remarry immediately after a formal divorce, no matter the reason.
“They say it’s a false divorce.”
“It’s been officially accepted, though…”
I hate to say it, but those people don’t seem to understand the concept of the law.
If it doesn’t suit them, they won’t listen to the common sense they learned in the Capital. I’ve been denied all along, but living in the Capital has finally brought me back to normal.
She abandoned me to dote on my older brother, so they should get along for the rest of their lives.
“What will you do?”
“It’s already decided, isn’t it? It’s too late now.”
There’s no love left at this point.
It seems like they’re clinging to family sentiment, but considering the mistreatment I’ve endured so far, I don’t want to get involved now.
“I’ll write a letter just once. They won’t understand, though.”
“Yeah.”
“However, we need the appearance of handling it calmly.”
I really don’t want to send this letter.
I don’t want to be involved anymore, but since I’ve become a member of the nobility, it’s not wise to act solely on emotions.
“Let’s have a lawyer handle all these letters.”
“Yeah, better rely on a lawyer for the letters.”
“Yes.”
Meeting in person would be troublesome and would inconvenience Mother.
That’s why I thought about sending a letter and completely severing ties.
However, the problem was not so simple.
