Episode 121

After that, Raymond wiped away his tears and began to perform.

It was a really heartbreaking performance.

Was he that kind of person?

Sasha mumbled a little, startled.

Maybe the Duchess’s people would have seen Raymond like that for the first time.

The Raymond they saw was crazy about Tatiana.

When it came to putting his face out there in society, he was sometimes well-behaved.

Even his often eccentric behavior seemed to be acceptable to some extent thanks to his superior magical abilities and the original’s deterrence.

The trial began with Raymond’s performance.

The Cassel family, who used to be everyone’s idol, had become the bad guys of the world.

The aristocrats associated with them have a similar atmosphere.

It felt strange, but it wasn’t as scary as it used to be.

The original world’s deterrence was also greatly weakened, and he did not know that he could exert a great influence in this world.

I no longer had to fear that strange power.

I think the other party’s lawyer was also engrossed in that performance.

I swallowed a bitter laugh at Sasha’s words.

Cassel’s lawyer, who soon came to his senses, called a witness.

I’m asking for a witness to prove that Princess Pioneer is behind this.

And, as expected, out came Tatiana.

After getting married, her hair, which she had worn most of the time in updos, was straightened, making her look younger.

Wearing a dress made of sky blue chiffon and tying her waist with a pink ribbon, she felt faint.

She was the same as Tatiana of the past, stimulating her protective instincts.

«Yes, if you want to take on Raymond, you have to be on that level.»

She was excited to see two one-time lovers standing in court accusing each other.

* * *

Tatiana smiled bitterly as she watched Raymond take Karina’s side before her eyes.

She hoped it would be like that.

Raymond continued to refuse her visits while in prison.

After going to the Duke of Malphyrion’s residence, he had visited her several times.

They met a few times with Daniel’s consideration, but he didn’t even make eye contact with her.

There was no way to change the heart of a man who didn’t even see her the same way.

Does the witness swear to tell only the truth?

Yes.

Tatiana responded with a dark face.

Raymond’s gaze on her was incredibly piercing.

«Oops.»

Have you ever seen her with those eyes?

Tatiana looked straight ahead with tears in her eyes.

It all started when Princess Pioneer became jealous of me.

Seeing the effect of the object floating in front of her, Tatiana felt a little relieved.

The affect above Raymond’s head began to stir noticeably.

«Done!»

At that moment, Tatiana held her breath.

She felt something warm rise from deep in her chest.

Uhg!

It was handful, a blood-like liquid gushed out.

Red blood splattered like petals on her white dress.

Tatiana looked up and looked at Raymond.

His astonished look, and then even the embarrassed Daniel.

It was strangely slow to see people running towards her.

Tatiana even saw Karina, who was in the audience on the second floor, look surprised as she leaned back.

y…

«Andy.»

Only Andrew couldn’t see her in this mess.

His gaze was fixed on Karina the whole time.

* * *

The moment Tatiana looked at the crying people, she jumped out of her seat.

Miss?

That idiot.

She used her powers on so many people.

There will be no life left in her.

Where is she going?

As soon as I got off, Sasha stopped me.

Sasha, wait a minute…

No way, miss. The Duke has ordered that whatever happens today, never allow the young lady to intervene in the trial.

I kept my mouth shut when I heard even my father giving orders.

Sasha whispered a little apologetically, but with a firm expression.

As soon as I sat back down, Tatiana spilled a handful of blood.

I rose from my seat without noticing that the dress I was wearing was dyed red.

Tatiana!

Several ran into the courtroom.

Raymond, who earlier belittled Tatiana, and Daniel, who took a step back.

And even Wilhelm, who didn’t know when he came.

Everyone was shocked and didn’t know what to do.

The judge declared a break and called the medical staff.

Tatiana was carried out on a stretcher.

All the men who had gathered when she was injured took a step back.

Even Wilhelm looked worried.

Oh my goodness.

People chatted as if it were an interesting sight.

Finally, Wilhelm and Tatiana headed for the hospital.

Sasha went out to prepare the carriage.

As I watched the people leave the courthouse like the ebb and flow, I was lost in thought.

Karina.

I turned around, startled by the sudden voice.

Andrew in a hooded robe approached.

Finally, the two of us alone.

Y-your wife just got sick, aren’t you worried?

She’s going to pretend she’s depressed because she’s at a disadvantage again.

She mumbled like it was no big deal.

I wanted to talk to you more than if she collapses or vomits blood.

I looked closely at Andrew.

I didn’t know what Tatiana had done, or how he became so obsessed with me and not Tatiana.

But those black eyes must have been tainted with distorted magic.

«If I remove that magic power, it will return to its original state.»

I cautiously stood in front of him.

Andrew shed tears as if he was delighted that I didn’t run away.

Karin.

When Andrew reached out and touched my cheek, I stepped back and put the purifier on his arm.

«Ah!»

However, the purifier quickly turned black and fell to the ground.

It seemed to have exceeded the limit that could be purified.

What is this?

You’re crazy.

That’s right. I’m crazy Can I be crazy about the woman I love marrying another man?

A burst of laughter erupted at his words.

To hear a man say that he loves another woman and that same woman is more useful than his present love is crazy.

At my words, Andrew became very agitated. Finally, he showed his human emotions.

There was an ominous feeling in his eyes like shame, regret.

Miss!

Sasha, who appeared late, screamed.

Andrew saw her and took a step back from me.

Sasha, who intervened between me, said, looking at Andrew.

The car is ready. Let’s go.

I grabbed my bag and umbrella and tilted my head slightly toward Andrew.

Then tell your mistress to take care of your health. Especially not to cry anywhere.

It wasn’t something I was saying because I was worried about Tatiana.

If she died without knowing, wouldn’t it be too useless?

She had to know what the price was for trying to win other people’s hearts with tears.

Feeling the archduke’s gaze glued to my back, I left the seat.

* * *

After that, Tatiana failed easily and could not get up.

In the end, Tatiana’s testimony was to be replaced in writing.

The Cassel family’s plan to use her to portray me as a typical villain had gone wrong.

The trial went smoothly and in our favor.

And today.

Finally, the day came for Julius Cassel to take the witness stand.

Raymond was anxious several times and checked with me on the status of the witnesses.

I told the story that the witnesses had arrived safe and sound.

His Majesty is also watching, and as my mother is on your side, she cannot be arrogant.

Yes it is true.

He looked convinced, but his hands were shaking with anxiety.

I looked at his hand and looked away.

Raymond then looked at his hand.

hahaha. It’s still here.

He smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh.

And buried his face in his palm.

When I was a kid in the research institute, the day Julius arrived was a scary day.

I shook my head without saying a word.

As he came and went, some kids disappeared without a sound. There was no such thing as a standard. Sometimes they were older than me, and sometimes they were younger.

Raymond clenched his fists and muttered.

He was desperate not to be like the missing kids.

Young Raymond lived in a cruel world.

I couldn’t help but feel sympathy for him.

But that didn’t mean I forgave everything he had done to me.

Speak in court.

Raymond shut his mouth at my words.
