I’ll Be The Warrior’s Mother

“I don’t know why he had a sudden change of heart, but I’m sure it’s not a lie since his forehead was bleeding. I feel very refreshed inside.”

Ben was relieved like a person who lost a decaying tooth.

If Thomas truly reformed and got a new tongue, it would resolve the suffering and troubles that Ben had faced.

Yelena was dubious, but she congratulated him first.

“That’s great. Did something happen to him during the vacation that caused him to come to his senses?”

“That’s possible. Oh, or it might be that moment when people suddenly grow up all of a sudden, and maybe that bastard, no, that guy, no, Sir Thomas had a moment like that.”

The third change in title was very positive.

In any case, the butler and the duchess shared the unexpected good news from the morning.

The good news of the day didn’t end there.

“…Hello, madam.”

“…Good morning, madam.”

The two maids Yelena met at the entrance of the dining room greeted her and quickly disappeared.

Yelena recognized the two maids.

It was Anri and Marie.

Not long after Yelena came to the castle, she punished them with flogging and fasting for their wrongdoings.

Since then, whenever they saw Yelena, they were busy running away instead of greeting her, but their attitude subtly changed a few days ago.

“…?”

She didn’t really care when they ran away, but she found their attitude change strange.

At that moment, Lula, the head maid who also saw the scene, spoke to her.

“You saw Anri and Marie.”

“Lula.”

“They’ve been grumbling for a while, but they finally gathered the courage to say hello to the madam. It’s a bit presumptuous for me to say, but please think of them as cute.”

“They were grumbling?”

“Didn’t the madam uncover the terrible things that Incan Marezon did to in the Duke’s castle?”

“Yes, I did.”

“It seems to have had an impact. In fact, there are quite a few maids who actually feel indebted to the madam.”

“…”

“If Incan hadn’t been discovered, they might have been the future victims.”

Ah. Yelena finally understood.

She nodded her head.

“I see. Thanks for letting me know, Lula.”

“Well. Personally, I am always grateful to the madam.”

Lula, who had cared for the servants Anri and Marie since their childhood, said so and withdrew.

Yelena briefly watched where Lula disappeared before entering the dining hall.

Thanks to this, she remembered the name that she had completely forgotten.

‘Incan.’

The accident – which Yelena firmly believed was a punishment – caused him to lose his sexual function and left him buried in society, so his life as an aristocrat was virtually over, but there was still a problem left.

A letter from Viscount Marezon, expressing his official position on Incan’s matters, had been expected to arrive after Incan was sent back to his family.

But Yelena hadn’t heard any news about the arrival of the letter.

‘These guys seem to be deliberately procrastinating.’

And during breakfast that morning, Yelena heard something unexpected.

“What?”

Yelena stopped cutting the food on the plate.

“What happened to Incan?”

Kaywhin kindly repeated the same answer.

“The Viscount of Marezon has given Incan a custodial sentence in the manor. The duration is for a lifetime.”

Just in time, the letter from Viscount Marezon arrived at the Duke’s castle early this morning.

The letter stated the punishment Incan received within the family.

“…Is that true?”

“I believe so. No traces of fabrication were found in the correspondence.”

In other words, they had checked to see if there were any signs of manipulation.

Kaywhin also seemed to have been surprised by the contents of the letter.

Yelena blinked and thought.

‘Incan, did you become an abandoned child?’

Manor imprisonment. For the rest of his life.

As the name suggests, Incan would not be able to leave his estate all his life.

Many aristocrats spent the rest of their lives confined to their estate.

However, voluntarily not wanting to leave their estate and being forcibly confined to their estate for a lifetime naturally had completely different feelings.

In addition, she heard that Incan frequently left his estate throughout the year on the pretext of delivering herbs.

‘But he’s confined to the estate.’

It would probably feel like a torturous death.

‘Seeing as how he used the expression ‘lifetime’ in the letter that will remain as evidence, it means he really has no intention to let Incan out of the estate in the future…’

Yelena thought of two possibilities.

Incan was the hated child, and Viscount Marezon wanted to take this opportunity to treat him as a child that never existed for a lifetime.

Or Incan’s health, whether physical or mental, was severe enough to require treatment and isolation for the rest of his life.

‘Or it could be both. Either way, it’s great.’
