Capitulo 79
Episode 79
Seeing Allison confused, Robert hid his mixed feelings.
«I was late. It’s been a while, everyone.»
Eric also showed up later.
It was the first time the three of them had met since Professor Gregory’s funeral.
Robert winked at Eric, letting him know that Allison was confused.
Allison was a proud woman and confident in her choices.
Even if you tell her that the Grand Duchess, who you believe in, is the cause of everything, she won’t believe it.
They showed Allison all the materials they had brought.
Tatiana who stepped in to do her job, both as accuser and instigator .
Allison was completely shocked when she heard that it all came from the head of the Grand Duchess.
Hey, that’s a lie.
Allison, I thought you had embezzled the funds. So I didn’t say anything.
At Robert’s muttering, Eric shrugged his shoulders.
At that point, everyone was crazy.
When the time was right, they helped each other and replaced each other.
They invaded each other’s territory and eventually became a mess.
Me, I thought you resented me and destroyed your study notes.
The disappearance of the research materials was a big problem for Eric, who was still in school.
But he didn’t accuse either of us. He thought he was the cause of it all, so he quietly covered up the case.
It was also the reason why his standing in school wasn’t as good as it used to be.
No, the Grand Duchess couldn’t do that….
Her head hurt too much. Allison ran away from them.
The two of them didn’t catch Allison. They knew how confused she would be now.
Even those who knew the Grand Duchess only externally, it was hard to accept that fact at first.
But for Allison who has been working for Tatiana for several years, maybe more.
What if Allison doesn’t believe us?
To Eric’s concern, Robert responded with a dark face.
I can’t help it. We have no choice but to do what we have to do.
He put the price of coffee on the table and got up.
Let’s go. I’ll be late for my appointment.
* * *
Robert and Eric were sitting across from me.
A week ago I set up a meeting between Eric and Robert. Since then, the two have not been in contact. I waited patiently.
And yesterday, I got a call from them.
«‘Coming together’ means the two of them have come to an agreement.»
Perhaps the story they would tell me would be advantageous to me.
I opened my mouth to offer them tea.
Are you here to tell me the good news?
Robert, still haggard, but shaving and carefully pulling his hair back, smiled and opened his mouth.
That’s right, princess. The offer you made. Eric and I are going to take you up on it.
Thank you very much. I will prepare a contract soon. And for the safety of both of us, I’ll attach someone to you.
A person?
They both looked at each other a little surprised.
They quickly agreed, perhaps because he remembered what his family had gone through.
Robert also had a look of incomprehension at first, but then nodded.
They too seemed to realize now that the Grand Duchess, who had made them this way, was no ordinary woman.
At this realization, a faint fear appeared on their faces.
Robert, pale-faced, raised his head and looked at me.
Hesitantly, he opened his mouth cautiously.
You seem used to this sort of thing.
Do I look like this?
Yes. It doesn’t surprise you at all, and you seem to know how to deal with it.
I lowered my head a little and hid my smile.
This was no big deal to Tatiana.
In this world who knows Tatiana best is probably me.
I guess I do. Because there’s always a detail.
At those words, Eric had a more anxious face.
This is because, unlike other people, he has even become involved in her family.
Also, unlike Robert and Allison, Eric had a wife and a daughter.
It was understandable to be so anxious.
I said to reassure Eric.
He won’t touch your family again. Because I had it written in advance.
I personally accused the human trafficker Tatiana had hired that time.
Tatiana should have known that by now.
Knowing that I’m protecting them, she won’t be able to manipulate them.
Like Raymond, who loved her.
Well, then, I’m glad…
I’ll send the gentlemen to your house.
Thank you princess.
Eric bowed his head several times to express his gratitude.
After they returned, I prepared myself for the situation once again. After experiencing it with Niveia, I did my best not to repeat it.
Fortunately, Tatiana did not react much.
I went ahead with my original plan. Since more than half of the people had gathered, we needed a building right away.
It was decided to use the land owned by the farm family on the block across the street from the original site.
Establishing a hospital required a much more difficult and complex procedure than expected.
The problem did not end with choosing a hospital director.
Finding someone to work there was a major problem.
I did the paperwork ahead of time, but it won’t be easy. Those two don’t have a very good reputation at the academy.
As in the case of Niveia.
They were all professionals, and it was good to work in a trusted place to change jobs.
He didn’t seem to think that a hospital run by two doctors, known to be obsolete, would work.
Then it would be a problem to create a hospital where anyone would want to come to work.
I knew some magic words that would say ‘everybody wants to work’.
To do that, I first had to see Aster.
* * *
Aster looked at the letter that had been sent to him.
The letter, written in clean, refreshing handwriting, was a letter requesting a meeting.
It was an incredibly simple text that was sent by a person whose marriage proposal was recently rejected.
Hmmm.
It also made him feel better.
Even though he was the one who refused.
He calmed himself as he rubbed the letter with his fingertips and lifted it to look out into the sunlight.
What he wanted to see was true.
Blue eyes that didn’t know what they were thinking, red lips that spoke sly things.
It reminded him of the swish of long, fine-grained black hair that spreads a distinct fragrance with every conversation.
He was serious.
He was still conflicted.
But the worries were short-lived.
Instinct triumphed over reason.
It wasn’t painful enough to die if I didn’t see her, but the desire to see her grew in an instant.
Aster wrote down the correct date and returned it.
From the moment he saw her letter, Aster’s day seemed to be on cloud nine.
Daily life, which was always dull, became colorful and colorful when an appointment with her was arranged.
The promised day had arrived. She thought about calling Andrew again this time.
Aster had very little pleasure, but he wanted to call him when Karina was meeting him. It was to get Andrew to meet.
It was nice to see him meet Karina and to see Andrew’s hardened face.
But these days, there was no intentional call.
He didn’t want to show Karina’s face to Andrew, and he didn’t want to see that ugly face with a strained expression either.
Aster stared out the window and saw Karina walking with her hair down and wearing a pale orange dress.
Even though she was quite far away, he could recognize her immediately.
Aster has been watching Karina for quite some time.
Perhaps Karina doesn’t remember the first time they met, but the two had seen each other a long time ago.
Rumors that the runaway prince was hiding in the academy under a different identity.
He went to the academy with magic to change his hair color and blur his imprint to catch his brother himself.
* * *
Karina was a lovely girl who was still young.
Her plump cheeks remained, and now there was a time when there was still sweetness in the cold, wrought eyes.
And though Aster did not know it at the time, it was the time when he began to ache for Tatiana.
Secretly organizing his mind as he watched Daniel and Tatiana approach.
It was already planned, and he thought it would be fine because it was expected.
But is it because of living abroad without family?
There were moments when emotions welled up through the cracks of weakness.
This son of a bitch!
Karina screamed in a corner and kicked a tree with her booted feet.
Aster, who was about to take a short walk on the way back after watching the academy students, found her.
Aster saw her for the first time, he thought she was crazy.
An aristocratic young woman screaming and kicking a tree.
It was unheard of.
It was a really intense scene, insulting someone while intermittently mixing profanities.
«Who, who are you?»
It was only because he was standing at a distance and watching Karina that he was caught.
