I Became the illegitimate son of a duke

94 – Third Flower (3)

“What’s up?”

The sun has already gone over the horizon, but the West has not yet returned.

If it was the usual Seobang-nim, he would have finished his meal by now, but something must have happened.

I’m really curious, but because of the last incident, many of the servants in the court were kicked out, so I can’t immediately know what’s going on outside.

I can’t go outside hugging Lillian because it’s dangerous, and I’d rather leave it to someone else, so all I can do is hug Lillian and wait quietly.

Haaa… Tonight, it’s my turn to monopolize Mr. Seo, so time shouldn’t pass meaninglessly like this… I hope you come back soon…

Ttogak- Ttogak-

“Ah, here you come!”

After sighing like that, Ines hears the faint sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the door and smiles wide in an instant. These footsteps at regular intervals are Seobangnim’s unique stride, and these crackling footsteps are the sound of shoes worn only by Seobangnim in the palace.

Seriously, what if you come this late?

Ines carefully gets up and approaches the door so as not to wake Lily Anne in her arms.

‘3…2…1… Now.’

“The West!”

Ines shouts at the exact timing of West’s arrival to show revenge and gladness for West’s late arrival. Of course, to the extent that Liliane, held in his arms, would not wake up.

“Why did you… Come now…?”

However, it is Ines, not Claude, who is surprised.

What is it?

Something is… Strange.

Mr. Seo’s expression is too dark and his body is completely limp. It seems that his height has shrunk by a hand.

It looks like a prisoner who committed a crime.

‘And this…’

Sniff sniff

…The smell of a b*tch. That, too, is the fishy smell coming from the bottom of the girl making love.

Couldn’t Chloe be cowardly cutting in the line—- no, no.

‘It’s slightly different from Chloe’s.’

I didn’t want to get used to it, but I can tell by sniffing a lot of Chloe’s smell. The culprit is not Chloe.

Then another possibility is that Mr. Seo had an affair with a woman I did not allow.

It’s okay because Chloe is my second wife, but… I can’t accept that there is a second wife I don’t know about.

A second wife that your wife doesn’t know about ruins the family just like the relationship between mother and father in your memory.

It is an aristocrat’s duty to spread noble blood by all possible means, but with a woman whose means are not recognized—- no.

‘Let’s not think too negatively. Yeah, that b*tch Chloe might have some disease.’

Let’s think positively.

It’s a big disrespect to the West if you hastily doubt the affair.

Yeah, there was an accident before when I was quick to suspect an affair.

Calm down. It won’t be. It’s just a simple illusion.

‘It won’t… It won’t… It won’t… It won’t.’

Ines desperately denies that possibility, but as soon as Claude’s eyes meet, Ines shakes his body and stops breathing.

Those eyes were the eyes of a criminal.

I haven’t seen any of these days when he’s been more tolerant of his men, but I’ve seen his men look like that a lot in the brutal past.

“…Ines, I have something to tell you.”

“Ah, ah… Ah…”

After hearing Claude’s words, Ines was convinced that she was right and wanted to sit down, but desperately endured it, fearing that Lilliane would be shocked by her embrace.

The trembling legs cause vibrations in her torso, which wakes her up and makes Lilliane cry out from her throat as if she hates that her sleep has been disturbed.

“aaa!!!”

‘What… What a b*tch…’

Ines’ temper, which had been greatly alleviated while raising children after being warned by Leclerc, flares up again, and Claude, who sees it, feels the pressure so strong that he can’t swallow and panics.

“What year is it?”

“I haven’t said anything yet—”

“I don’t have to tell you, you can tell. You’re innocent. So… Which b*tch is this? Which b*tch did you flirt with you? Which b*tch attacked you?”

After listening to Chloe’s advice and pondering for several months, I finally realized it.

In order to keep a happy family, firstly love and trust between husband and wife are needed, and secondly, harmony and will between children are needed.

For a thief trying to break that trust… There is only a thorough physical response.

I won’t let you take away my happiness.

“…Wait a minute. I’ll explain everything when Chloe comes.”

…………

“”…””

I told both of them what had happened.

The seduction of Jeanne that started a few weeks ago, me who couldn’t resist it properly, Jeanne’s violent courtship at the restaurant and what happened as a result, everything including my decision to take responsibility for Jeanne.

At first, I thought about changing the content because I was afraid that Jeanne would be harmed if this fact was revealed, but it felt uncomfortable as it seemed like I was deceiving the two who believed in me. Did.

Jeanne said that she was not here and had her take a break in her separate room. It’s because you don’t know what will happen if the culprit is right in front of you in a situation where Chloe and Ines are sure to get excited.

‘Eh…’

The atmosphere is too heavy.

The pressure of the eyes felt all over the body and the stillness so quiet that even breathing was not heard.

Because the head is bowed down, it is normal to not know the expression of the two, but you can clearly see the expression of the two as if there are eyes on the back of the head.

…I’d rather howl, get angry, or be scornful.

“Brother, please raise your head.”

“Chloe…?”

After several minutes of silence, it was Chloe’s warm voice that broke the strange silence.

After hearing that, I looked up and saw Chloe with a benevolent smile on her face. A warm smile, not a sarcasm or a laugh, an expression that can hardly be seen as being angry.

“It’s not her brother’s fault. It’s a little disappointing that Jeanne didn’t tell her that the b*tch had been flirting with her for weeks, but… She resisted to the very end, didn’t she?”

“Is…Isn’t it?”

That b*tch…?

Chloe’s words were perfectly calm, like the tranquil waters of a lake. Except for the word that year.

“Above all, I really like his attitude of taking responsibility as a man. The reason I like him is because of his kindness.”

“Me too… I do.”

“…?”

What is it?

Something is strange. Instinct is ringing the alarm.

The two people’s words are very merciful and generous, but on the other hand, they are too awkward. The more I listen, the more my heart gets nervous.

This feeling… Yes, it’s like there’s a cutter knife cut into pieces in delicious chocolate.

“The fault, all the fault… Belongs to Jeanne, not to Mr. West.”

“Your brother resisted to the very end, so you showed us enough trust.”

“Uh… That’s…”

Those eyes, the eyes of Chloe and Ines.

It’s night and there’s only one light source, so it’s normal for pupils to grow… But the pupils of the two are too small.

“Ugh… Ah…”

“Ugh…”

It is natural for a newborn baby to cry out loud when something unpleasant or frightening happens.

But Claudia and Liliane, who are now in their arms, don’t look like that at all. She desperately holds back her tears and watches her mother’s eyes.

“That… No, it was my fault. This wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t been more firm in my refusal.”

“You did your best. Don’t beat yourself up too much.”

“Sure, leave it to us from now on.”

Leave it…? What?

Uh… Uh…

‘f*cked up.’

I know the feelings of the two very well.

You must want to metaphorically kill the thief who cheated on her precious husband.

But these two really have the illusion that they will kill Jeanne literally, not just a metaphor.

I thought he was kind-hearted even though his words were a little rough, but now the two of them can’t seem to show that kind of side.

It’s as if I’ll pass all my faults on to Jeanne and then get rid of them and make it [I didn’t do anything wrong in the first place].

Of course, it would be an illusion, since the two of them really couldn’t be involved in such a terrible thing, but it’s true that they were that anxious.

“Chloe, Ines. Wait a minute. It’s true that Jeanne was wrong, but I was also wrong. So—”

“No.”

Huh?

Why do I hear voices from behind and not from the front?

“I’m sorry, Holy Son. I couldn’t stand it and came.”

…Ah.

Why are you here?

Since she didn’t know what would happen, she told me to wait in the private room, but Jeanne ignored it and came here.

Jeanne is apologizing to me with her mouth, but her expression isn’t like that at all. She has the face of a girl as if she had played a bad prank.

“”…””

The two of them were talking about this and that just a while ago, but that’s not the case now. It feels like going back to the beginning.

From the moment Jeanne came in, their eyes stopped looking at me.

The hostile gazes of Chloe and Ines pass me and turn to the person responsible for this incident.

“Ah… Hello. Please take good care of me in the future.”

Jeanne’s smile is very refreshing, like the fresh spring breeze, but her tone is like the cold wind of winter that can freeze animals and plants to death.

Chloe and Ines didn’t open their mouths to Jeanne’s words, instead answering by just staring at them.
