The Villainous Daughter does not Dance with the Dragon

"Many in the clan disagreed with her marriage. What a brief thought, such as welcoming people from the West into the clan. Lydia, too, as a national church, accused me of not welcoming that choice... and I followed that pressure in the end. Give me an excuse not to have to obsess over the shape."

scorned, Zigmund said, deepening the frown wrinkles.

"... but you cared about that one, didn't you?

The old Count's choice could have been an error.

But it's also true that Zigmund was alone for less than twenty years after he lost his second wife - officially, I guess not.

I don't know if Zigmund's 'girlfriend' was unhappy or happy...... Because of what I don't know, I didn't feel like blaming the old man for repentance any more.

"... do you mind if I show you Zigmund's watch, again?

"Go ahead, princess."

I stared at the figure painting in the clock.

"I feel like Lucaya."

Lydia may have seen the face of the Count's common son in Lucaya.

"Is it? - I think my daughter looks more concerned... but how did it go? I feel that my memory has become obscure."

"Hurt..., as a child..."

I scratch my sweaty palms and... open again.

I grabbed my collar to keep my voice from rubbing up, but I failed.

"Vincent, could it resemble..."

Give him his name.... There was a very long silence.

Zigmund puts his hand on his forehead and shakes his head.

"... I don't know. I... have only seen her once or twice since my daughter left the mansion..."

"Really?

"And I have always assumed that that child and... my brother... both my grandchildren died..."

The whining Jigmunt Lame's voice was everywhere... lying.

Until Lydia and her therapist Teto came back together, we were silent, just looking up at the statue of the goddess in the popular disappeared chapel. The goddess will not say anything.

Lydia shows up with her therapist Tet and asks Jigmund like a devoted doctor and woman.

Jigmund and Lydia, who had been friends for a long time, seem to be really worried about him this time, as if they had forgotten to throw a hard word at Jigmund earlier.

Get on your knees before him and look up to him.

"... Master Zigmund, how about you move to the capital after this visit? Because there are more therapists in Wangdu..."

"My hometown is Canaan. I can't live in Wang Du anymore."

"... aren't you also born in the capital of the king..."

"This is where we should go home. Everyone in my family is asleep."

Lydia gave the word family a hurtful look - pushed silently.

"Lydia, will you escort the Count to his room?

"But lady, I will escort the lady..."

"It's all right, I'll have the Earl's escort escort send me"

The young man who was escorting the Count received our gaze and thanked us in awe. You'll be sure of your arm because it's enough to hold the Earl's escort. Besides, I moved my gaze to Isaac, who was at the entrance to the temple.

"I'll go to the temple when I'm done with the Chamber of Commerce."

And as I was saying this morning, they came.

"Kirchner, I need to talk to the Chamber of Commerce, please."

I ask Lydia to be on Zigmund's side again. I dropped off Zigmund and two clerics.

The escort's young man turned his gaze on the Count's back in a worried manner. His skin was also dark-colored when it came to the Cardinians. He looked at me like he heard something, but swallowed words politely to see if he had moved on.

"I wanted to talk to the Count about your daughter. Your Lord has reminded me of something sad."

"Are you left-handed?"

I hold the watch in my hand and make a wish to him as my escort.

"Before we go back to the mansion... I have one favor for you."

"To me, is it? Her Royal Highness."

"Yeah, I was wondering... if you could take me to the Count's family's grave"

◆ ◆ ◆

Returning to the mansion, I headed to the Chancellor's room.

Lydia hasn't returned from the National Church yet and Isaac is holding back behind me.

There was no sign of Vincent in the Chancellor's room. Sir Yunker seemed surprised by my sudden visit.

"How is it done, Master Remilia? Can I call you back if you need Vincent?"

I shook my head.

"No, that's fine. 'Cause I'm just here to deliver something I forgot."

"Forgot something?

"Yes."

I snort.

Give me the watch... I borrowed it from Zigmund. Wrap it in cloth and give it to Vincent's stepfather.

I looked up to Sir Yunker, who was tall, with my own hands overlaid in his hands.

Will the Chancellor tease the cloth and see what's in it? Or do you realize it?

"Um, if you don't mind telling me?

"What should we do?

"He said it's unusual for Vincent to accidentally forget something. It's the second time I've ever delivered anything to him..."

Chancellor Yunker was surprised, but I cut the word.

"It doesn't seem, … tell him so"

Sir Yunker raised the edge of his mouth slightly.

The sarcastic expression is reminiscent of the cloudy skies in the north.

"Master Remilia... you say something unexpected. Then it sounds as if my son and you are close friends."

"Shouldn't you? I... I don't know what Vincent thinks, but I think he's my friend."

Confronting the Chancellor in a stretching mood, His Excellency the Chancellor of a grim appearance unexpectedly loosened the air surrounding him.

"No, I won't blame you. Tell my son."

"Thank you. Nice to meet you"

Until I walked down the hallway back to my room, Isaac and I had a conversation without any other love.

Isaac, if I could, I don't want you to tell anyone where you went with me today.

"Why don't you ask Remilia what she wants? I... can keep a secret."

Isaac's black eyes only rubbed, and he was in a hurry. Though you must have noticed something strange because of Isaac.

I was lost but shook my head.

I don't think I can tell Isaac or Father.

"I know. But... I'm sorry, I'll probably talk to you when the time comes."

Isaac had no choice but to clap his shoulders.
