When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 54

“Forgive me, Madam.”
“……..”
“As a knight, I cannot receive this from Madam. That is the first code a soldier must follow. One should be wary of occurrences that can result in one’s heart being drawn to a particular Master. Secondly, a sense of deprivation and jealousy could arise among each other in the Order of Knights.”

Except for Redra and a couple of knights, the rest acted disrespectful towards Laritte and therefore were punished to starve for days on end.

Redra and her followers had a good meal. That was natural and non-discriminatory. But she didn’t want to receive any more than that.

Others wouldn’t have denied Laritte’s drink if they were in Redra’s position. But, Redra was too uptight.

“……Ah, I see.”

What Redra was worried about was getting Laritte’s low response.

‘Have I offended her?’

But Laritte had something else in mind.

If it was discrimination to give a drink to a certain soldier, then she should give it to all of them. Whether the other soldiers considered her as the Duchess or not, she didn’t care.

Her past had been too rough.

This discrimination was just a cute little speck of it.

“Goddamn it! I’m so thirsty.”

One of them grumbled. Another knight wiped his neck with a thick cloth.

“Do you want water?”
“That water is hot. Besides, I can’t focus because of the trashy meals we receive nowadays!”

The knights were parched, just like grass under a scorching hot sun.

“Did you see that carriage stop at the main building? I think they bought strawberries. I wonder what those were for.”
“Quit dreaming. We won’t see those at our tables.”

One swung his sword, but it missed the target on the scarecrow. He dropped the sword out of shame. Thankfully, it was just a wooden sword, but the knight was furious.

“Darn it! It’s all because of that illegitimate girl!”

Although they didn’t say it out loud, everyone agreed.

The other person stopped him out of courtesy.

“That’s enough.”
“Why do you want me to stop? Madam is happy to see us starve.”

He understood that proper food was restricted for those who acted poorly before their master. But living on an empty stomach would certainly make them angry.

It led them to think that Laritte, the Duchess, was aware of everything going on.

However, Laritte was completely oblivious to this truth, and therefore, she didn’t come to see it.
