Funeral

Kim Su Won looked at them with an incredulous look in her eyes. They looked… in grief. But why? It was because of them that a young kid was sacrificed. They could not even keep a child safe. What were they duke and duchess for?

She did not say anything. The dream of her original parents, her sister was still lingering in her mind. She was still in pain and shock to see them so vividly that she could have sworn that she felt their touch and could smell their fragrance.

"Emma, my child!" The duke and the duchess approached her, quite lovingly. But she could tell. It was all fake. They were pretending to be so tender towards her. They needed something from her, didn't they?

"Yes, Lord Whittemore, Lady Whittemore?" she spoke, as formally as she had been addressing them always.
