Chapter 25

'She would have thought I was hoping for adoption.'

'But now I have changed my mind.'

I'm secretly laughing at the baroness.

"And ma'am, please take a walk with me!"

"....What?"

the baroness blinked her eyes blankly.

"Do you only want to take a walk? Do you have not any other requests?"

"Yes. I like to take a walk! Well, it's been a while since I've only been here, so I only have a friend Damian. So, I want your wife to be my friend."

"But....."

"Roy busy, Asher's busy, Damian's busy, so they doesn't have time to play with me..."

The baron and his wife trembled as they drooped their shoulders pretending to be gloomy.

"I'm not busy at all…."

Damian, who was trying to refute my gaze, asked me all over his mouth.

I quickly took off my face and glanced at them as if I noticed.

"I won't bother you, so can't you just play with me three times a week?"

"...... ."

The man's wife, whose lips fluttered as if hesitated, slowly approached me.

She bent her knees and set eye level.

"....I'm going to be a burden to Elie."

"It's okay because I'm bothering you more!"

"But...."

"I'm also going to the greenhouse. There are a lot of flowers I want to show."

As a child, the baroness laughed sadly.

Before long she wrapped around me what she had in her hand. It was the scarf I had wrapped around her.

"....It's a glory, Ellie."

Her smile, full of wrinkles, was warm like the sun.

🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸

A few days later, a warm afternoon with a cold breeze.

Me and the baroness were enjoying refreshments in the sun.

Fortunately, the Baroness's condition today seemed to be in good shape.

"So, I was able to come here to write the ball."

"I see. Somehow, coming from such a..... difficult place to the north would have been a difficult decision."

As I explained how I got here, the baroness's said sadly.

In the meantime, no one had sympathized with my heart, so the baroness's comfort was unfamiliar.

It wasn't that the Baroness's felt pretended.

Without this experience, I was right to say that it was difficult to know how to react to her.

It didn't seem like I would get used to it no matter how much I went through that nobles and adults who were much older than me used honours.

"Well.....it was a bit scary, but it's okay! Compared to an orphanage, this is heaven!"

I tried to laugh.

I was used to being condemned, and it didn't matter because I wasn't really hit hard.

'It's about getting capital, and this kind of trial is basic.'

As I sips cocoa, recalling my past life experiences, a warm body temperature settled over my head.

It was the hand of the baroness.

"You have had a lot of trouble."

"uh…..."

Her eyes and touch were so warm.

It felt a little different from when Roy and the other maids were petting it.

Would it feel like this if I had a close grandmother? My heart was a little tickled.

"It wasn't very difficult. All of the children were nice. Of course...... there were children who weren't."

"Is there any children who harassed Ellie?"

"Yes. But the Duke has cleaned it all up... No, he solved it all."

I belatedly corrected my words and laughed naturally.

"It's amazing. The Duke Shuetsu has come first to other people's affairs."

Is that so?

In the novel, the Duke of Shu Etsu was described as a person with a blunt expression but with a friendly heart.

'It's worth knowing just by searching the whole empire to find a friend's son.'

Although the category of that kindness was limited to Damian.

"The Duke doesn't like to go to someone else's job."

"But the Duke saved Damian from the orphanage."

"Probably..... because of guilt."

Guilty? I tilted my head at an unexpected word.

"I'm worried if you can tell me this, but it would be nice to tell me when your memory is intact."

The baroness hesitated a little and sighed.

"Because no one would say this to Elie without me,"

I opened my mouth.

"Did you know that a great war broke out in the empire about 15 years ago?"

She knew the story well. That's why war orphans increased exponentially.

"The predecessors Duke Kleider and the Duke Shuets went to the Great War and gave the empire victory. The two dukes became unparalleled close friends, after going through a tough war."

The Baroness explaining in one voice.

"After hearing the victory news, we welcomed the returning Duke with great joy. But, the Duke was with a woman."

Woman?

It was the first time I heard it.

This is because there is not a single word of this story about the Duchess in the book.

"It's Yuria, who passed away. Yuria was a member of a minority family."

If they were a minority, they were those who fought war.

'Why is that person.....'

As I opened my eyes round, the baroness said.

".....People call the Duke of Shuetz as those who inherited the blood of the devil. Do you know why?"

I shook my head quietly.

"People with the castle of Shuetsu have suffered from madness from generation to generation. Because of the curse that has been passed down from ancient times, it is said that they are half crazy. This is why the Shuetsu manor is called the cursed land."

It floated big.

The novel was focused on Damian, so the work of the Duke of Schuetz was unknown.

"That's why the Duke has no choice but to go to war, because war is the only way to get rid of the madness,"

the Baron sighed.

"But after coming from Yuria, the duke's madness disappeared."

"how?"

"Well..... Minority clan was able to use a variety of magic, so I have no choice but to guess whether it is their power."

The Baroness's continued to explain again.

"That's why the Duke married Yuria. At first, it was a little ... a lot of creaks, but the two of you really loved it so hard. Because Yuria was a very lovely person ."

The face of the baroness, thinking of Yuria, was full of happiness.

'The Baron's wife has such an expression, but what would it have been like for the Duke Shuetsu?'

The only person who got rid of the madness from generation to generation.

'He would have had to bring even a minority clan.'

But what does that have to do with the guilt of the Duke of Schuetz?

As she tilted her head, the baroness said in a slightly subdued voice.

"The magic of the minority clan is different from other magic. You have to pay a price to manifest it."

"Is she going?"

"Yes, Yuria tried to use her magic to get rid of the powers of the devil coming down from generation to generation. That's why the Duchess used magic in the time of the campaign...."

The Baroness's stretched her end and bit her mouth.

When I saw her face full of shade.

That the Duchess is not in this world.

I held the Baroness's hand as if consoling. She laughed lightly.

"...After that accident, the Duke cut off all diplomatic relations. But he continued to send letters to Duke Kleider."

From here on, it was the content of the original work I know.

"Two years later, Duke Kleider sent a letter stating that his son was born. At that time, Duke Shuetz opened the closed gate for the first time. That was the first time he responded."

"Then..."

"Yes. An accident happened on the way the Duke Kleider and the Duchess came over here."

She was referring to the incident that the emperor had caused.

I thought it was just an accident while going to see a friend.

I clenched my fist.

It seemed to me why he felt guilty about Damian.

The loss of his wife, the loss of a close friend.

All of it, you think it's his fault.

'But I think I know to some extent.'

Because I also had the experience of losing a loved one.

When my expression became depressed, the Baroness said in a bright voice, trying to change her mood.

"But when he talk with Ellie like this, I think he's not a very cold person."

The baroness stroked my head with a hand full of wrinkles.

"You brought this pretty and smart Ellie."

"Hehe. Thank you for saying."

'Rather than that..... .'

First of all, Damian wanted to be with me, so she must have had to take me.

It would have been useful to me.

"But Elie. Marriage between commoners and nobles is forbidden. If you were really bothered, the Duke would not know the family that will host Elie."

"....is that so?"

"Yes, yes,"

The baroness nodded with a friendly smile.

She was a very gentle and gentle person. A friendly and warm person.

The person who corrected in this way changed in an instant.

I witnessed it with my own eyes, but I did not believe it.

She said she only wiped my head off.

"Being with Ellie like this, I remember my son."

"Do you have a son?"

My eyes lit up pretending to be the first story I heard Then the baroness laughed as if it were cute.

"I'm sorry, but I can't be a friend of Ellie's. I'm very old, and I'm busy with mine."
