"To be honest, thanks to the revelation of one of Cornelia's cases, it's gratifying that the other side chambers who were desperate to fight over the tracks have grown up. Thanks to you, I can concentrate on Cornelia"

Perhaps the side rooms also found out that the Duke is not just a gentle, sweet man.

A familiar young man, and after Hannellone left the mansion, his relentless attempt to absolve Cornelia, who had reigned as the most powerful side chamber, would have shown the end of those who crossed the line that should not be transcended.

"My father-in-law was originally a sweetheart to Cornelia, but I never thought I'd take refuge in this one."

"What's over there?

"I was told to lighten my punishment, otherwise I wouldn't be able to give you my daughter."

To the duke with a bitter look, Olivier, of course, has no words for Jared.

It frightens me that it was something I could well say for my daughter, no matter how much, to lighten the punishment, etc., while trying to take people's lives.

"What does your father intend to do with Master Cornelia?

"No matter, I will punish you severely. You can't forgive Cornelia for the most sinful, because you remove Tobias from one of his successors and also punish Emilia for what she deserves. Originally, I'd like to be charged with attempted murder, but the only evidence is Pfile's testimony. He doesn't mind if he testifies, but then he'll be tried again, too."

When Yennie was kidnapped, the Duke felt no less beneficial to Pfile, who turned to Jared to protect the mansion.

A boy who tried to take Hannellone's life once, but as a duke it should be extremely complicated because he saw the sight that Hannellone had allowed and still seemed to enjoy living with him.

Still, to avoid clouding Hannellone's smile, he says he doesn't want to do anything that would result in Pfile being brought to justice.

Once I put it in my nostalgia, there is a sweet spot on the Duke's side, but the sweetness is also for my wife this time, so I didn't know.

Jared himself, it's not funny that once a hand-in-hand pufile is tried by a third party. If the time comes to be judged, I want to judge with my own hands. And it is also about fulfilling the promise of rematch.

"I would have pleaded guilty myself if Hanne had been harmed, but Cornelia plans to have him placed under house arrest in the territory, also in view of what Hanne allows nothing else. Only a limited number of people are allowed to meet, and no information is given. I'll only let Tobias and Emilia see each other once a month."

"... frightened. Your mother forgives you, Cornelia?

"That's right. Hanne forgave Cornelia, but he doesn't seem to want to leave any resentment on Olivier or Emilia any more"

"Resentment?"

The Duke nods at Olivier's questionable voice.

"If I turn down Cornelia by ignoring Hanne's voice, I hate to say this in front of my daughter, but it's an execution. I aim for my life, and I've sent assassins so many times that it's inevitable if I don't have to go public. But if you do, Tobias or Emilia may resent you, even though you deserve it. Not just about you, Jared, Trane, and me."

"Mother..."

"If you want to give Emilia a chance, you can't execute Cornelia. Without a doubt, Emilia, who revealed her parents' sins, feels guilty. If I can, I want to avoid that, too. So I'll keep you alive, but that's all."

Jared felt his spine get cold in the Duke's hard voice.

Without a doubt the Duke of Alway is angry with the side chamber Cornelia. But he was about to swallow Hannellone's plea and anger for his daughters' future. Still, you can't swallow all the anger, and that anger leads to Cornelia's house arrest.

Sounds good when it comes to house arrest, but it will probably be closed.

It is now on this occasion that the more you resist not wanting to be caught with your father, although you may have a slight pity for Cornelia, the less temperament will disappear.

Life may not be taken, but it's easy to imagine living the same afterlife when you're dead.

"But the Cornelia thing is fine now. The problem is, Emilia. I'm sure one of Cornelia's cases came out bright thanks to that kid, but of course what I've been doing against Olivier, it's also true that I missed Cornelia's place and tried to help her once. Nevertheless, as Olivier said, I want to give you a chance"

Evil like his mother is the only thing he doesn't work for, but he also has to be punished for revealing what he did to Olivier for years. But Olivier did not disagree with the kind desire to give Emilia, who was still young and had changed her mind, a chance.

"What do you think?

"I think it's good. I do not care that rumors have been circulated. I forgive you, Emilia, because your mother can forgive you. The truth is, there was only one thing I couldn't forgive -"

"What's that?

"It's what got Jared involved because of our engagement. And Yennie too. But you told me you didn't care about Jared or Yenny, so that's enough."

"Jared...... I apologize again as Emilia's parent, I'm sorry. And thanks for telling me you don't care"

"No."

The words were short and Jared responded.

Behind Jared's brain floats Emilia, whom we met the other day.

I am grateful for taking the risk for myself and Yennie, and for using Pfile. Either way, it's also true that Cornelia was thankful to have reinforcements from her because she was hitting on Vault Toyfel and Rosa Lowen because she was asking for them.

And Pfile kept his word and kept the mansion, Olivier and Hannellone, and Trane. I can't thank you enough.

Yennie also said something that Emilia noticed when she was imprisoned, and there is no sign that she resents her.

So Jared was also unwilling to disagree with giving Emilia a chance to change her mind.

"As far as I'm concerned Emilia, I want her to go to school until graduation with surveillance inside the school. I'm not sure if I'm lucky, but this one was done under the water, so it's not rumored. I'm not even gonna let it get rumored."

I have also heard that the families who had already assembled in Cornelia were captured and disposed of.

No family would do anything stupid, such as look at the tough Duke's response and tell someone about this one. What worries me is the other side rooms and Cornelia's parents, but the side rooms shouldn't want the Duke of Alway's family to be in a bad position because of Cornelia either. Cornelia's parents won't want to rumor about her daughter's demise again either.

Then it should be possible to avoid rumours as much as possible.

"Regardless, you will be placed under house arrest in your room for any time you are not attending school. If we don't do this, Emilia's position will be in jeopardy."

"I guess so. Does Cornelia have anything to say about Emilia?

"I won't tell. My stepfather seems to be fine if only my daughter can handle it. Instead, they even seem to neglect their grandchildren, who put their daughters at risk. I think it's really stupid. In fact, Cornelia's brothers and sisters are taking a leap to get Cornelia out of the mansion somehow"

I mean, it's decent except for Cornelia's father.

"Naturally. I'm trying to be as calm as possible to avoid making things rough, but if my Duke's family is serious, he's not an enemy, such as Cornelia's home. I don't do that because I'm not willing to judge anyone but Cornelia. But there are things that my father-in-law would also think of me if he sheltered in vain. And Cornelia's siblings are afraid of it."

Sooner or later Cornelia will be expelled from the mansion by the hands inside him, the Duke affirms.

No matter how many fathers shelter, if your siblings are trying to chase you, you shouldn't have a place, albeit your parents'. You may be able to sit down in a glamorous way, but Cornelia has no choice if a clan that doesn't want to turn the Duke's house against its enemies drags down its father, who is its only ally.

"As for Emilia, I understand. What are you going to do after you graduate from school?

"I have three years to graduate. In three years, if you can grow big, then we'll show you the way again. I don't really want to narrow down the possibilities for the future because I'm reflecting on it now"

"Right, I think that's a good idea. And if you can, I need a favor."

"What is it?

"It's weird to say instead of forgiving Emilia, but think about what's going to happen and let me see that girl"
