Limit to Patience
Endure.
I have to endure it here.
I must not let my emotions take over.
It would be meaningless if I don't make them confess everything.
Even though I thought that way, my heart was telling me:
—Hit them right now.
These two are hopeless.
They act as if they are the center of the world.
"Especially someone like you should understand your place in business."
"Yes, you should move according to our instructions and work to make our lives easier! Who do you think supported you all this time?"
My wet nurse raised me until now, and then Father provided for my upbringing.
"You becoming the top student at the academy is out of pity. Otherwise, it's impossible."
"Someone like you who doesn't even understand their place, how laughable. Is the Capital's academy full of dull minds, or did they become interested in someone with a different color? Maybe you sold your body?"
"Mother, embracing such a useless person only dirties yourself. Huh... if that's the case, Henry must be quite crazy, too."
Terrible... even Henry.
What will happen to Father, who has been tied to such a greedy and despicable woman?
"I didn't willingly let Diaz embrace me. Yet, he's always been mediocre."
"Indeed. Having such trash as a father... truly not worth living. Well, things have improved now, so if you lower your head, you might get another chance."
"Yes, Shepherd could inherit the Countdom in the future... but there’s an obstacle."
"Then why don't we remarry her publicly and get rid of the obstacle! Maybe she already has a lover under the King's pity?"
"True."
They are rotten to the core.
While reaching the limit of my patience, I clench my fist.
"What's with that look?"
"You've been silent for a while now. Do you have any complaints?"
"No, just refraining from using vulgar language for a while..."
But I couldn't endure it.
I lifted my face, suppressing my emotions as much as possible.
"It might be better to refrain from making such remarks in front of Lady Mirial."
"What?"
"Although she is a mid-tier noble, Lady Mirial has started her own business and is now famous in the social circles. Which reminds me, is it true that you are going to marry Lady Mirial and enter her family as a son-in-law?"
I already know that the engagement has been broken, but I pretend not to know.
"You bastard!"
"Don't mention that woman's name in front of me!"
I got slapped hard with a fan.
"Madam!"
I appealed to the Guild, who were standing by.
All the windows were open, and our voices could be heard outside.
This is where the abuse begins, where everything starts.
But these two said things they shouldn't have.
"Even though you are but a lass! How dare you..."
"Yeah!"
I intended to stay quiet until the end, but I changed my plan.
These two don't deserve any mercy.
I will crush them thoroughly!
