After the Decisive Battle
After hearing everything from Marie, I headed to the Monhan residence.
“I see… I’m sorry.”
“Not at all.”
I didn’t want to hurt my Father-in-law any further, but the truth had already been conveyed.
“I saw the records from the lawyer… it’s unbearable.”
“I suppose so.”
But how much did Marie, who was at the scene, get hurt?
Not just physically, but her heart was torn apart, and on top of that, she was repeatedly told that she would be killed.
“It doesn’t matter what I say now, but…”
“Marie won’t forgive them, right?”
“That girl is kind. I can endure to some extent, but if it were the other way around, I wouldn’t be able to forgive them, either.”
Why did he marry such a vicious woman?
No, it would be the end of the story if I said that, but I can’t believe that they could be this crooked.
“That woman probably wanted all of your Father-in-law’s affection… even though he was trying his best.”
She’s just too greedy.
Her desires kept increasing, and her cravings became more intense.
In a way, that woman might have been unhappy.
Always wanting more, never satisfied.
She didn’t realize how fortunate she was.
“The verdict in the trial is guilty. The situation will be tough from now on.”
“What will happen to them?”
“They can’t pay bail, and their future is already decided. Some people might rejoice at their downfall…”
“No one will be troubled, I suppose.”
They caused a lot of trouble and don’t understand how terrible their actions have been.
They will realize it when they go out and see that they’ve lost everything.
In a way, being in jail might be safer…
“For now, I want Marie’s emotional well-being to be the top priority.”
“I understand.”
“I never thought it would come to this…”
“Marie is looking ahead properly.”
I earnestly hope that my Father-in-law won’t blame himself any further.
When I returned home, my current issue become…
“I think torture to be necessary, after all.”
“The current charges are not enough. The guillotine is too lenient.”
“Yes, we can’t allow them an easy death.”
The three people before me were plotting something horrifying right in front of me.
Lady Oriana and Lady Eliana, my Mom.
When these three gather, nothing good happens.
“Henry, what are you spacing out for?”
“That’s right. When they assaulted Lady Marie, we should have them flayed and hung upside down in a crocodile’s nest.”
“I want to poison them, but that would only cause a moment of suffering, right? I would prefer to make them experience living hell.”
It’s fine if those two get the death penalty, but when these three are involved, it turns into a hellish scene.
For now, I should inform my Father-in-law so they don’t go too overboard.
