Chapter 41 – Part 2
I was out of breath trying to say it all at once. I practiced and practiced again for this.
“Huh? What the Princess said was true. Those are the words Viscount Rochelle always lives on,” someone whispered.
“No, what are you—!” Viscount Rochelle stretched out his arms and waved them.
I took a breath again. “So I told her that I would go and ask my dad, but she suddenly pulled me back. She then told me, ‘You’re an illegitimate child’. Since unnie pulled me, I fell on the ground on my butt, but Aaron came just in time and helped me.”
I said my last words deliberately looking up at Dad.
‘Then he will praise Aaron, right?’
“Uh, Your Excellency… this is….”
“Viscount Rochelle.”
The viscount staggered. Dad roughly sat down on the chair as if he was tired of looking at him. “I thought you were busy with your hobbies, but you also seemed to be working hard educating your children.”
‘Hobbies?’
Viscount Rochelle trembled at once. “This is only a misunderstanding. If you can give us a chance to clear this up—”
“I thought the gold mine you were entrusted with was well-maintained, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“Yes? The gold mine… hic!”
The more Viscount Rochelle rambled on, the more the other vassals exchanged glances with each other.
“I guess that one mine wasn’t enough to pay off the gambling debt.”
Oh my, he was even gambling? I watched the situation with interest.
Viscount Rochelle was the bad guy earlier, but my Dad was like the villain now.
He knelt. “Yo-Your Excellency!”
“I sat back while you were busy coveting my predecessor’s assets one by one. I thought you could do that since you are his younger brother. Isn’t it only natural?”
“I-I-I’m sorry. I will restore everything to its original state as soon as possible –”
Viscount Rochelle’s face was dying, but it was the end, unfortunately.
“I also turned a blind eye as you stole the relics of my predecessors here and there. I thought it would be fine since you are the younger brother.”
“…”
“Wouldn’t it be better to sell it to me, Viscount Rochelle? Then I would even have doubled it.”
The embezzlement seemed to be no joke. It was clear that he was coveting Descartes’ assets while my dad was looking for me and my mom. I didn’t know he was this bad. Things got bigger than I thought, so I had no choice but to sit still.
‘I was just trying to scare him for a second to help Dad…’
“Sorry! Sorry! I just—” Viscount Rochelle exclaimed.
My father smirked.“No wonder the monthly accounts were so poor. Should I teach you how to write accounting fraud? Ah, I should send Dante at least. At this rate, Viscount Rochelle will only be left with his children.”
“…Heuk.”
“But you are selling it to me.”
Viscount Rochelle choked. Perhaps because of Dad’s overwhelming energy, or the weight of his own sins. All the servants who were attending to us quickly stepped back, understanding the atmosphere, and the vassals were all at a loss.
“I see. Do you see me as a fool?”
“…”
Dad bowed his head. “Uncle.”
“Yo-Your Excellency…”
“I’ve been ignoring you all this time.”
Viscount Rochelle was terrified and eventually wept.
“But you shouldn’t have touched my child.”
Those words struck my heart.
Dad straightened his bent waist. As if it was a sign, Dante and the guard made me stand behind Dad.
“Take him away.”
The dinner with the vassals was utterly, completely, perfectly ruined.
“Your Excellency! Please forgive me! Please give me a chance!” Viscount Rochelle cried out desperately as he was being dragged away. Seeing their father being dragged away, the brother and sister duo started crying. It was natural for them to be scared.
‘Phew, yes. This should be it.’
I beckoned Pihne quickly. I then whispered in her ear, “Pihne. Can you help these siblings?”
Pihne looked reluctant, but she soon nodded her head.
“Unless His Excellency gives a separate order, I will take them to the annex.”
“Thank you!”
I met Dad’s eyes for a moment as I was whispering to Pihne. Since when was he looking at me? I hesitated and looked back to my Dad, wondering if I’d just made things worse.
He gestured to me with his fingers. “Come here.”
