Jared Murphy, along with her fiancé Olivier Alway, was facing her father, the Duke of Alway.
Recently, my father came to my room to discuss the punishment of Olivier's belly sister, Emilia Alway, who was to be caught uncovering the evil that her mother had done.
I didn't really seem to want my mother Hannellone to hear it, but my mother also knows one thing.
On top of that, I thought it was really motherly of me to ask my father for generous treatment.
Olivier is not asking for heavy punishment with regard to Emilia. Yes, I should have told my father, but I was wondering why he was trying to decide on his sister's punishment until he came to see me.
"Father, I think you asked me to be generous about Emilia."
"Um. I know. But I still wanted to hear your opinion once and for all."
Sometimes the evil of Cornelia came to light, and Jared felt as if the slightly strained one in the Duke's temperate atmosphere was disappearing.
I guess it made me feel easier because for years I was able to uncover the work of a side room that I couldn't uncover.
Nevertheless, Cornelia has not yet been caught. I hear that she gave up badly and asked her parents to hide it from her.
"It was because Emilia changed her mind that the Cornelia affair came to light. That is a fact that cannot be changed. But once Emilia also tried to join Cornelia, and there are things to be punished, such as spreading bad rumors against Olivier for years"
"... right. How is Emilia doing?
"If she's that kid, she's under house arrest, keeping an eye on her own room the same way. Me and my brother Tobias have minimal contact with maids. But don't worry, I'm not treating you badly."
"Tobias?
Olivier explained to me when Jared tilted his neck at a name he didn't know.
"My brother, the eldest son of the House of the Duke of Alway. He's twenty-three years old, and he's a graduate of Royal School."
I see, and Jared was convinced.
I could see one end of the reason Cornelia tried to become a regular room by harming Hannellone.
If Toavis Alway is the eldest son, he is the one who will succeed nature and the governor. The Duke has publicly declared that he will let him inherit from among his excellent children, but still the status of eldest son is too great.
"Tobias is my beloved son, but he has nothing special to excel at. It's not just ordinary people, it's brilliant skin. But knowing the mistakes my mother and sister had made this time, I completely renounced being my heir. I also accept and will not nominate Tobias to succeed."
No doubt Cornelia will be outraged.
I know I didn't work evil for Tobias, but it's definitely one of several reasons. Even so, my son himself gave up his inheritance because of himself, so I think I'm going to make it that I don't know what's in life.
"So what will Tobias do in the future?
"Luckily for you, that kid is not that close to other brothers and sisters as a brother. Instead, brothers and sisters weren't bad friends originally. Even Conrad, who is magical and jealous, had a good relationship with Tobias. But the children were also naturally distanced because their mothers were unfamiliar with each other. Tobias and Konrat have been estranged, but the other siblings... honestly, I'm gonna have a headache."
The Duke sighs out loud. The troubles seemed endless when the killer targeting Hannellone named Cornelia was revealed.
"Tobias is going to let the next Lord assist him. Tobias himself says it doesn't matter, but it also seems like there's something else I'd like to do. I promised to talk again, so I'd like to hear about it."
"Really, Tobias has other dreams besides his own."
"If you have a dream, I want to support you. Tobias also knows he didn't take part because he was just studying in the territory without knowing anything about evil. I just have a fiancée, and I think we might be able to talk."
"... it was Tobias who was thought to be closest to the next term, so if you heard you abandoned your succession, your fiancée's family wouldn't look good either"
"I don't like aristocratic society because of this - and I'm sorry. You can't let me be stupid. I'll take care of Tobias as a father. But the problem is Cornelia."
As soon as he uttered the name of the side chamber that tried to harm Hannellone, the Duke would look like he had chewed up a bitter worm.
At the same time, I felt anger from the Duke.
No matter how familiar you are, I guess you can't forgive me for trying to make Hannellone a deceased.
Jared is not familiar with Cornelia. It's just that to make Hannellone a deceased, he hired adventurers and, at the end of the day, even Vault Toyfer, an assassination group.
I know you're an emotional person as far as I can hear you talking about it, but I also doubt how such a person could have made a connection to and hired Vault Toyfer.
Thinking about it, I don't think it's Cornelia acting alone.
Most importantly, the Duke of Alway also has a connection to Vault Toyfer, so he may have done well, but it seemed difficult in Cornelia's figure to listen to.
"Cornelia, are you still resisting?
"Unfortunately, I'm resisting. My family story showed that I fled to my parents' house, so I moved the Duke's soldiers, but I can't overdo it because if I take too much care of it, it could be received by civil war and other countries. I bargained with my father-in-law only once, but I didn't talk to him."
To the duke sighing like tired, Jared, of course, could not find a word to put on Olivier.
