Chapter 48

Count Brumayer pointed his finger in a frenzied manner.

“Laritte wouldn’t have been born without me! That little girl dared to–”

He choked on his words as soon as Ian appeared.

“The Count has never thought of her as your child, so how does it matter now?”
“D-Duke!”
“Very well. If the Count relentlessly curses Laritte, I shall hold no judgment before ending his life. I’ll make sure of it.”

The Count stuttered in response.

“W-Where is Laritte…..?”
“She doesn’t wish to come out here. I doubt she has any reason to care about you.”

Rose, who was hiding behind the Countess, yelled.

“It can’t be true!”

Ian flashed his smile at Rose.

“I see the lady still hasn’t come to her senses. She came all the way here.”

He took heavy steps toward Rose.

“Have you been dreaming when Laritte saved your life?”
“Eek!”

Rose hid behind the Countess in fear again.

The Countess fell to her knees on the floor.

“I beg you! Please have mercy on us! There’s nowhere we can go. Doesn’t our family’s property appear as dust in front of the Duke’s?”
“Indeed. Why have you come here then?”
“T-That…..”
“Do not worry about your journey from now on. I hear the Marquis lacks the resources to rule the cold north. Many people keep freezing to death.”

Ian gestured to his knights.

“Prepare to send them to the North.”
“Yes, Captain!”

The knights obeyed and captured the Brumayers with both arms.

The Countess realized that their entire plan had failed. She screamed.

“Then, Duke! How are you any different from us?!”
“Hmm.”

Intrigued, Ian raised his right hand, and the knights stopped dragging the family at his command.

“Go ahead.”
“We admit that we’ve mistreated Laritte! But we had fair reasons!”

Ian once received a report on Laritte’s frail figure to have numerous injuries.

The fact that those injuries had to be covered by clothes was very pressing.
