"Cristiane!"

"Guhhhhhh!?

The ladies groaned unexpectedly at the unexpected mother's tackle.

What the hell do you mean?

"Cristiane... Cristiane...!

Mother is crying with a whisper as she holds me tight and calls my name like a rumor. It just hurts so bad if the emotions are being converted to arm power.

"Oh… Mother…?

"Oh, Cristiane... my God!

The sobbing mother, after all, is not in a state where the story makes sense. It's just that it felt so much warmer... warmer than the sight I remembered then... for holding me in my arms.

Elise, let him go.

When the mother releases her hand with regret to stop the father, the silence gradually comes to the scene. After a long silence, your father laid his hand on his forehead and looked up to heaven.

You must have been in this pose before I preached when I bothered your father. I kind of miss it when this is the time. To get my last sermon, I opened my legs a little and put myself together with all my strength.

I'm sure there will be unprecedented reprimands awaiting. But I'm ready. Come on, Father!

And your father opens his mouth.

"... Cristiane, I've already heard what happened at the school.... Mr. Gression told me you were breaking your engagement."

"… Yes"

"I also heard the reason for the destruction…"

One beat, your father stared me straight in the eye.

"Do you have any idea?"

"?... No"

I wonder what it is. In the sight I saw then, I didn't ask this question. I think your father was just yelling, calling, and asking for heaven that he lost his upbringing.

"You're saying it's a crime."

"… Yes"

As soon as that happened, your father's anger increased all at once. Something black from my back looks all shaken up.

Shit... the anger production, maybe from now on.

"Cristiane... I hear that while you have a fiancée, Master Grecion has been very kind to you and that Miss Linaria. Still think you didn't even complain?

Huh...? Is that...?

"Well... well... I wasn't particularly interested..."

'Cause I knew it would. For me, I knew that Lady Grecion and Miss Linaria were going to get along, and I couldn't even hold my pinky fingernails to be interested in that.

Hearing my answer, your father's anger finally culminated.

Hii, no, no...!

Oh, Father, I'm scared...!

I'm a thousand times scarier than that sight I was yelling at!

"You didn't say anything or advise me to do, and then you complied with your promises after being wronged!

The whole room was frigid and trembling in rage. If I hadn't stomped my foot, I'd be so scared that I might have lost my hip.
