“Maybe she didn’t run away from home, but went out with a purpose? With a lover she had for a long time.”

 

“It’s obvious just from the rumors. She’s so crazy about men.”

 

“I get annoyed every time I hear that rustic southern accent. Why does it sound so barbaric?”

 

Look at these guys. I expected it, but I’m a little bit overwhelmed.

 

Although Freya’s poisoning attempt seemed to have been buried to some extent thanks to my runaway disturbance, I knew that there was still public opinion about me and my family.

 

I won’t be able to pry or reveal anything openly.

 

It had become a matter of joining the Omerta family as well as the temple and the Vatican.

 

No matter what the real intentions behind Izek’s banquet were, my position was clearly better compared to before, and all they were covering for me. It was as good as a public announcement.

 

Therefore, a slip of the tongue could lead to the Omerta family being involved– which wouldn’t be tolerated.

 

But they could talk behind my back as much as they wanted. My runaway could also be made into a scandal in some way.

 

It wasn’t that I didn’t expect that there would be such public opinion, but I still wanted to give them a hard time.

“M-My, My Lady, we’re…….”

 

“…Erkl!”

 

“M-My…”

 

They looked blankly at me, shedding crocodile tears.

 

“I, I, I…”

 

“Woo–”

 

“Really, really, I really did nothing, un, I didn’t think I was that bad..”

 

As I burst into tears, covering my face with my hands, they clung to each other in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
