The Earl’s Bad Wife

Episode XXII: Every Tabernacle Dorothea von Signake

That was three years ago now.

My father asked me to gather not only me and my oldest sister who live in the capital, but also the other sisters who live in the province.

That year was the second year of Helmina's social debut, and the first year could not be celebrated, so if we all talk about having a grand feast, my father can stop us.

He said he wouldn't tell Helmina about this gathering.

I just got a sinister look when I asked why, and he didn't tell me that day.

Same day.

After all, it seemed like a difficult story to get everyone together, and only six people got together.

Elke the eldest daughter, me the second daughter, Cassandra the fifth daughter, Charlotte the fourth daughter, Alexia the sixth daughter, Bianca the tenth daughter.

The gathering was in the royal palace, in a hidden room.

Always calm, my father keeps a wrinkle between his brows and does not try to utter a word.

The look on my mother's face sitting next to me was also dark. I was even with my uncle, the king, so I'm just a little surprised.

And when they were all gathered, they opened their mouths, which my father had shut hard.

He said he was here to discuss hermina.

Hear the heavy voice and you'll see that it's serious.

My sisters and sisters heard it and had a surprised look on their face.

Bianca, the second sister from below, asked her father.

"Father, what's wrong with our lovely Helmina?"

"Something's gone wrong."

Everyone waits for my father's next word.

My mother had tears in her eyes and wiped them with a handkerchief.

And surprising facts are emanated from my father's mouth.

"- The story is that there was not a single application to marry Helmina."

Ha, I can hear my sisters and sisters breathing.

I was surprised, too, and almost dropped the cup I had in my hand.

My mother bursts into tears.

My uncle was on the tannic side, like I'd never shown him before.

Is it true that there was no application for marriage in Helmina?

Even I, who at the time had just joined the Knights and only looked like a boy, said that I had several applications for the year of my social debut.

Elke sister says with a trembling voice.

"Hehe, Hermina, is the most beautiful of the sisters, and you thought it was a flower in the high ridge, and your lords got your asses in it."

In response, my father said, "I don't think so."

The room has heavy, awkward air.

My father also said that I had never seen anything like this before.

"Do you know why?

Everyone shakes their heads in unison.

My youngest sister, Hermina, is the perfect woman who deserves the word "talent".

I don't think it's possible that the sister doesn't have an application for marriage.

But my father said that's the problem.

"It was too perfect, so no one could accept Helmina as his wife."

I look at it for the exact reason. Oh, my God. I thought.

When asked why that had happened, Hermina said she was making a lot of noise in the social arena.

"First of all, the first thing is..."

Those involved in the engagement suddenly received an offer from the man to dissolve it. If you ask me why, I can do whatever I want. The engagement is dissolved without an apology, and the female side is given a back finger that it has been abandoned.

The woman was a friend of Helmina's.

When she heard the story, her sister went to the man whose engagement had been dissolved and asked her to apologize.

However, the offer was denied, and Angry Hermina says she signed up for a duel.

"A duel took place on the condition that if Helmina lost, she would lay low and apologize to her ex-fiancée if the man lost -"

As a result, Hermina beat the man.

I apologized to my ex-fiancée and thought that the woman had rarely decided to marry another man of high stature - not to.

I taught Hermina swordsmanship. I lean over unexpectedly.

"This is not the only noise"

Intense rhetoric about "transcendence theory" with the head of the Marquis of Charlieburg, who is also a philosopher, stuffing the second son of the Viscount of Santerium, who runs a tailor, that he is interested in the work of a seamstress (Couturiere), pointing out to the three Amblers, who hobby for wild play, that he is not walking in the woods, and taking artisan-faced treats to the Leaverlotte, who runs the confectionery business…

The other sisters darkened their expressions one after the other.

"You know why I don't come to Helmina to talk about marriage, right?

Hearing my father, we snort deeply.

What aristocratic men want from their marriage is sociability and submissiveness.

Helmina seemed to lack it.

One, unconvinced, Bianca complains to her father.

"Isn't that what happened because your father hasn't been looking for you so hard?

"No, I brought up a few stories from me, too."

My father didn't say it until the end, but Bianca, who perceived it all, whispers "Ah……" at first sight.

Apparently, he just didn't talk about the marriage and refused to offer it.

"Women like Helmina were out of hand, which was the main reason."

What my father was trying to hide is also evident in Bianca's allegations.

At last, she cried as she raised her mother wah.

There will be no imposition of that either. It's too sad that my beloved daughter can't get a daughter-in-law. It would be an unacceptable fact.

All of this was due to our sisters' knowledge and skills to Helmina.

Elke, the eldest daughter, sewed, I taught swordsmanship, Corianna, the third daughter, Charlotte, the fourth woman, confectionery techniques, Cassandra, the fifth woman, gave a variety of knowledge, and Zizzerier, the sixth woman, struck in too high an aesthetic, Alexia, the seventh woman, gave her heart to love nature.

One by one is not a big deal.

However, it may not have been a good idea for Helmina to learn the basics and boost them independently.

When did she acquire the ability to lose a man's face?

"It's a pitiful story, but a man is a self-respecting creature..."

My father didn't try to tell me any more before my mother was here, but I know what he wants to tell me. That no one would want to welcome a woman more capable than myself as his wife.

"I know what it feels like to have given you all sorts of things to protect Helmina."

Neither did we impart knowledge or skills in a meaningless way.

Now it's a very incredible story, but back then, Helmina was a very dear child.

He was so cute, he used to make fun of me from the boys.

Hermina felt sorry for herself without being able to say it back well, and few days came back crying badly.

Although we were able to protect it, I wondered if adults would stick their faces in the children's issues.

So we gave Helmina a variety of knowledge and skills if it led to her confidence.

I was relieved to see that I could protect myself, but I never thought that would be the wrong choice now.

In dismay, Charlotte asks her father.

"If your father was Mr. Helmina, who remained dear, he would have found someone to marry early, would you say?

"As it stands, I can only say yes"

It was a cruel word.

Because of us, Helmina might not be able to get married.

"If Helmina deserves something, it's the Queen's seat."

Before we knew it, we seemed to be educating Hermina about the Queen.

I feel responsible and they all have a dark look.

Prince Wang is already married. There is no way in other countries such stories are rolling around.

"I got you all together today to discuss what we're going to do about Helmina's dowry."

Finally, today's agenda comes up.

My father asked everyone.

"- Who wouldn't know a man who's more generous, stronger than Helmina, and smarter?

No one can answer my father's call.

If you are a strong and kind person, you know a few of them from the knighthood, but it is a mystery whether you have a broad heart to fulfill and embrace Helmina.

I definitely want to avoid getting married and struggling with not fitting each other.

Everyone had a bitter look because they thought the same thing.

In the quiet with Singh, my uncle, who didn't say anything until now, makes a statement.

"……… only one person, I have an idea"

Hearing the words, my father was hacked and my mother stopped wiping her tears.

I turn my eyes to my uncle with a desire for salvation.

"I am a man who is a foolish educator, but a man who is quite clever and has a heart as wide as the sea"

His name is Erich von Veimar. I was born in the Count's house, and I have a good family.

"Brother, why didn't you give me an introduction before?

"No, I've recommended marriage to him before, not a ride"

I wondered who the hell the man was who showed difficulty in marriage stories from the king.

But I don't know if that's how much diagrams you need to match hermina.

We were about to find a good opponent, so this day's gathering would be dissolved.

Quickly, my father apparently made an offer of marriage to Erich von Veimar.

However, a few days after the offer, they refused.

The reason is because I'm busy at work.

As it stands, my uncle, who brings a reply, says he must be in the middle of burning his hands on education.

That's why Hermina missed her wedding date.

Fortunately, he didn't care about it at all.

Then we were all looking for someone to marry, but all the results would be unbroken.

Then three years later, a miracle occurred.

In the wake of my father's death, he told me that my uncle would again tell Aerich von Veimar if he would marry Hermina.

When he responded to the second offer, he replied.

The whole family will be thanking Erich von Veimar.

Thus, Hermina married.

My mother and sisters, who saw the wedding costume, said it was a big cry. I couldn't be there because I stopped giving birth.

Hermina said it was a big deal, but because the circumstances were such that she thought that she would never be seen as a bride for the rest of her life.

I was worried, but I didn't think I could handle it if I watched Aerich von Veimar smiling next to Helmina.

Please be happy, and I sincerely hoped that you would do well.
