This Time, I Became the Fiance of a Duke’s Daughter. But She is Rumored to have Bad Personality, and Ten Years Older

"My daughter is not an assassin, but she is proud to say she raised too much. I can't die as much as I took a little poison. That's why when I heard that it was poisoning, I had my doubts. And I've been exploring that there has to be a reason."

"Wait, wait, Wahash. Are you sure it was suicide? No matter how much poison you tolerate, if you consume lethal amounts, humans will die."

"Listen to me till the end, Jared. Without a doubt, Liz chose to die herself. If so, what the hell was the reason you had to?

Wahash's words were an inquiry into Jared, as well as into Karina.

Jared turns his gaze to his mother-in-law. For him, too, I want to know why my mother had to turn down her life herself.

"Let me know if you know, Karina!

To Johann's wish, Karina kneels down and spills a whimper.

"Mother!"

No one is thinking of doing anything to her, including Wahash, even though Loyk hugs her to protect her.

I just want to know the facts, that's all.

"No way, your mother really... how could..."

If you look at her, you can see as long as she's not so dumb. Together, we were just waiting for the truth to be told out of her mouth.

And finally, Karina spinned her words with her trembling lips as her son hugged her.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, Mr. Jared, sir."

Karina's apology coincides with her admission that she was involved in her mother's death.

Jared didn't want to believe it.

I couldn't accept the death of my mother, including the involvement of my mother-in-law, who loved me gently.

"You loved me as much as you loved my real son, didn't you?

My voice trembled. I want it to be some mistake. I hope so, but my heart tells me she's not lying.

It is too bad a hobby lie to try to fool ourselves. Above all, in front of Liz's father, he's in danger of being killed if he does that.

Karina also has no fine dust, such as a reason to lie about her involvement in her mother's death.

"I love you. Because he's Liz's son."

"Then why are you involved in my mother's death! Tell me why!

"I was like a sister to Liz. But..."

Karina almost said something, but suddenly she mumbles. When I glance at my son, who hugs me, my will dwells in the eyes that were shaking with guilt and anxiety.

The will belonged to a mother who tried to protect those she loved no matter what.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, even if they killed me"

"Don't be ridiculous, Karina! Tell me, tell me, why, Liz killed herself! Why!"

"I'm sorry. Sir, but I can't tell you."

- Oh, my God.

Johann gets angry at me just because I can't grasp Karina anymore. But it was Wahash who got rid of him like that.

"Yes, don't blame her. Johan, calm down."

"Assuming you mean that girl!

"That's why they say calm down. She has a reason not to. I don't want to risk my son's life, do I?

"- How could you do that?"

Eyes open and Karina is amazed. But she wasn't the only one who was surprised.

No, I still can't believe my stepmother is involved in my mother's death, either, Jared. And Olivier hugging Jared. Even Johann, who was heavily elevated, was so surprised that his anger sank, as he was made to bathe in cold water.

"What, me, is it?

More than anything, it was Loyk who surprised me.

It is harsh on a young boy just to say that his mother was involved in the death of Liz Murphy, his admiring brother's mother. Because they told me that my life was in danger so that I could chase him like that.

"I took the time to find out everything. I have sympathy for your plight. At the same time, I'm even thankful that you loved Jared."

Wahash was the only one who understood Karina on this occasion.

"What do you mean?

"Jared, remember. Who was the last person you saw the day you were taken away from the facility?

"... why are you asking me that?

"You don't remember?

"No, I remember. I had a family who used to follow me. He was a nice guy. What's wrong with that guy? Sure, I heard you quit knighting because you broke your body."

It is the man who was my father's man and my family who remembers me. I always refer to Jared as "Boy," and I have memories of him telling me a lot of stories.

Jared, returning to the Wang capital, asked what was wrong with him because he could not see him in the mansion, and found himself quitting his knight because of his physical condition and working somewhere in the Wang capital.

"Johan, do you remember that guy?

"I remember. He was a trusted employee of mine. Certainly something I've said about wanting to stop being a knight because of my physical condition. I asked my family not to stop, but they couldn't hold me back because they felt responsible for one of Jared's cases."

He was also one of Johann's men. He seems to have been greatly disturbed when Jared disappeared. I can't help it. I would have been by my side as an escort, but even though I was strongly ordered by Annette in the side room, I prioritized her errands without doing her original job. As a result, I sent Jared away on my own.

But Johann, who knows Annette's temperament, didn't blame him.

"Unfortunately, he's involved, too. And one of Jared's masterminds is Annette Daum."
