Volume 2 - Ch 5
Editor: Lord Asmodeus
What?Wait a minute, Daniel. I thought we were talking about setting up a place other than the castle because of the danger, right?You said it was because there were too many extra people in the castle to protect me, right?
Yes, sir.
So why do I need to take Angelica and her friends to such a dangerous place? Do you have a reason?
Its a good thing that Im on a pre-wedding trip with a couple of good friends, but I dont want to take my loved ones to a more dangerous place than that.
Im sure that Danielle, who is supposed to have a clear idea of what Im thinking, proposed the idea. I understand that it makes sense. But even so, in a situation where I knew there was a risk, I immediately said, Okay. Well, lets all take a trip! I dont think so.
Id like you to explain why you came to that answer first, instead of just giving a conclusion.
While thinking about this, if you look intently at him as if to encourage him to continue his story
Unfortunately, there are some unsettled people in this country. Therefore, if remaining in Royal Capital is also a risk to those who might be harmed, especially Kyle-sama. We thought it would be better to take with us those who are vulnerable.
I cant read what hes thinking about, but he tells me smoothly, with a gentle smile on his face. However, the point being, which is not at all appropriate to tell with a smile, is what I dont want to hear.
What is the insecurity of this country?
Too dangerous to remain in Royal Capital you mean, to stay alive?
Or
Kyle-sama. You now have some of the nobles in this country who have a grudge against you and those around you. Dont you think?
Danielle asks me this question while looking at me with amusement, her face twitching with all her might.
I dont understand other peoples feelings, and its not uncommon for a member of the royal family to hold a grudge or two without even realizing it.
And yet, the fact that shes asking me this question at this time means that theres someone who obviously has a grudge against me, and also has a certain amount of power.
The people who suffered the damage were the neighbors, former teacher Brad and his family, the Redford family, and the Woodroid family.
Im saying that they are the disruptors of this country, and we know that there are problems in the neighboring countries, so Im excluding them. Brad will spend the rest of his life in a white room at the hospital, and his parents are a long way from this country. Ive heard that its a small country in a place, and a house that has already been demolished, so Ive ruled that out too. That leaves the Redford and Woodroid families.
The Marquis of Redford, like that brainiac Roberts father, isnt the type of person to hold a grudge. He is a man who values chivalry and gentlemanly conduct, so he is sometimes ashamed of his sons failures. But theres no way hed ever think of revenge from recrimination. And of course, his wife is also someone who hates such things.
Im sure youll be able to find out whats going on in the world. No matter how much he loved his son, he would harm the royal family and high-ranking aristocrats, according to the common sense of an aristocrat. How unlikely is that? His wife is a bit of a troubled person as if she were an adult just like the selfish daughter. But even if Huey had become a snob in aristocratic society, and his chances of taking over the reins of the family were completely gone. Im sure youll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the city. When you think about it, theres no reason for the Woodroid family to be grateful, but theres no reason for them to resent you.
Then what in the world
I put my hand on my chin and tried to think about the families involved in this case and their connections, but I couldnt find an answer.
It seems that Count Woodroid has a very strong grudge against Kyle-sama, right?She seems to think that Aprils disgust with Master Huey is because of Kyle-sama. Yes. Furthermore, I believe that the opportunity for Douglas-sama and April to communicate with each other was also brought about by Kyle. He was even angrier when he found out.
I raised my hands in surrender and gave a small shake of my head, and Danielle gave me a ton of information with a pleasant smile.
The content of the information is really shocking, and then he goes on to tell me the astonishing information: It seems that they are steadily preparing to impose economic sanctions on April and the August family for betraying Master Hue.
Whats the matter with you?
What are you talking about when you say and do what your stupid little boy says and does?
Im so shocked, my mouth drops open.
As expected of the person who raised that Hue. It seems that Mrs. Woodroid was the perfect person to bring up Huey. It seems.
Okay, so thats why there was no alimony from the Woodroid family to the August family. And the August family should be told that the August family has helped them so much because theyve been fiances. If so, theres nothing to say about it.
On the face of it, its supposed to be that the August family refused to pay the amnesty, but in reality, it was probably the Woodroids who put the pressure on.
The Earl of Woodroid, as I recall, was so passionately in love with the lady that he desperately wooed her into adopting him as his son-in-law. Apparently. Ive heard that he would never say no to her actions.
I guess he couldnt take her opinion personally this time either. But he didnt ask for the return of all the aid money, was it because he was remorseful or was it because of his conscience? Was he just trying to save his own skin, or was he just trying to protect himself from what others might think?
April is sent to the school with the help of the Woodroid family to support Huey in the future. He said he was attending. It cost a lot of money to attend school. They were helping him with all of that, but they broke off the engagement, so theres no reason to help him anymore. I was afraid that I would be asked for a refund.
If they demanded a refund, the amount of money would be far less than what they would be entitled to, even if they did receive compensation. The reason why Earl Woodroid didnt ask for it is that he wanted to be able to successfully defend himself without denying his wifes plan. It may mean that they have taken it into consideration.
But its also true that its difficult for April to stay at the school at this stage.
There are two main types of expenses at the school: tuition and living expenses. The tuition fee is paid in a lump sum each year, so theres nothing wrong with that. But the dormitory fee has to be paid every month and there are also food and miscellaneous expenses in the dormitory. The cost of the goods that will be provided is also a moderate amount.
Until now, it is said that the Countess Woodroid had been supporting all of them, but they have decided to give it to the August family. You cant afford to pay for it. The August family is poor and cannot afford to send anyone but their successor to the school. If you think about the cost of your younger brother entering this years school, you cant afford to spend a fortune on April. As a result, April was left with no choice but to quit the school.
As a result, April has no choice but to quit the academy, and her life as an aristocrat ends with the socially unpopular assessment that she quit the academy even though shes not going to marry.
.and that was the way it was going to be. Mrs. Woodroids plan.
Perhaps the Earl of Woodroid would have explained it that way and convinced the lady.
But the truth is, no matter how bad her publicity may be, it doesnt affect her future outside of her marriage that much.
In fact, when he asked her to counsel Douglas, he promised her that in return for asking an unmarried woman to take care of a man who is not her fianc, she would be hired as Angelicas maid of honor at the palace.
So when the time came, I was going to pay for the schools expenses as part of my handmaid training.
Well, now that Douglas and I are engaged, it seems that the Lawton family is going to support all of Aprils expenses, though.
Ive been thinking about this for a while now and Ive been acting accordingly.
