Unsympathetic Relatives
We went on a difficult journey after being forced out of our territory.
The carriage was not like those used by the nobility we had before.
Judged not to be a noble based on my appearances, we were turned away at the gates.
I had been riding in an uncomfortable carriage all night and day long, on my way to my sister's house.
"Let us in."
"You cannot barge in without any prior arrangement."
Just because we didn't send a prior notice doesn't justify this treatment, right?
After all, I'm her sister!
"We are family!"
"This is absurd... Madam had already severed ties with the Ranford family. You are the ones who turned her away at the funeral."
"Not only did you officially cut ties with her and did not let her participate in the funeral, you even shamelessly demand funeral expenses from her."
What a rude servant!
Truly fitting for a rural noble's servant, so uncivilized.
"Just call her over! That’s an order."
"Why must I obey your commands?"
"How insolent! Someone, call the guards and throw them out."
We're tired from days of an unfamiliar journey, and they don't even show any compassion.
"Don't mess around! I am..."
"What is the matter?"
"Miss!"
It wasn't Anita who came out from the door.
The person was dressed in fine clothes, looking just like a noble lady.
"Oh? It's been a while, Auntie."
"What?"
"Who the heck are you..."
"Oh my, aren't you the foolish son who ruined my engagement ceremony? What a dirty appearance."
"What did you say!"
She was clearly making a mocking expression.
But I recognize this expression.
It resembled Anita’s...
"No way..."
"You finally noticed?"
"Miss, please step aside. Your body is too important."
Upon closer inspection, her belly was slightly swollen.
Could it be that my niece is pregnant!
I haven't heard anything about her getting married, and I heard her fiancé got injured in a carriage accident.
"What is going on? Were you married?"
"Yes, thanks to your generosity. Uncle Diaz arranged a luxurious wedding for me with Lady Anesia’s assistance."
"Why weren't we invited to the wedding?"
If your niece is having a wedding, you would expect at least a word of invitation, right?
Isn't it terribly rude not to send any invitations?
"Oh my? Who said they didn't want to attend a rural noble's wedding? How selfish can you be after letting my Mother pay off your debts?”
"What are you talking about? They are sisters, so it's only natural, right?"
"Exactly. It’s only normal of her to help me when I am in trouble."
It's unthinkable not to provide financial assistance when I'm in such trouble now.
