When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 20

She could endure the slaps on her cheeks as a punishment for a crime she didn’t even commit.

But this?

Laritte’s legs became numb.

She didn’t fall to the ground, thanks to the people who caught her from behind.

Rose heard her shriek through the cracks of the door as she closed them.

She rushed down to the first floor, smirking. As she reached the floor, she met the Count.

Rose asked, catching her breath as she was walking at a fast pace.

“So, what exactly is going on, father?”
“We don’t know. Your mother went back to check on in the castle as soon as she heard about the Duke’s appearance. I’ve been waiting to hear from you….”

The Count said sweeping his chin, where he had begun to grow a beard, with his fingers.

Why did Ian Reinhardt appear in the castle?

If it were him, he would have lived the rest of his life in hiding.

Rebellion was one of the most serious crimes in the world.

Even if the royal family did something merciful, why did he have to show up in the castle when he was a traitor?

There must be some reason.

The Count fell into a deep agony.

“Looks like we’ll have to get separated here.”
“If possible….I’ll come and visit you in a few days after I’m done with my business.”

After Ian and Laritte bid each other a goodbye, they began pacing in opposite directions slowly.

As he glanced backwards, he was able to confirm Laritte entering the Banquet Hall.

Unfortunately, he didn’t hear the words, “The Duchess, Laritte Reinhardt, is here.”

It was a chance to know her real name.

Ian kept moving.

Every single moment he had spent with her at the villa flooded into his mind.

The first one was when he tasted her meat stew.

“Do you like it?”

That was the first thing she said to Ian.
