I Became the illegitimate son of a duke

95 – Third Flower (4)

“…”

“”…””

It’s obviously spring, but it’s too cold inside the room, which should be cool. It feels like a knife wind is being visualized and being hacked up without mercy.

After Jeanne’s greeting from tens of seconds ago, only the creepy sound of the night wind hitting the window remains in the room.

“Whoops…”

“This…!”

After a while Jeanne breaks the cold silence.

Jeanne smiled contentedly while stroking her lower tummy, and Chloe, realizing the meaning of the act, opened her eyes wide and was about to run away. Stand tall

You don’t want me to see you fighting?

“You… I said I’d do it for you! You dared to have an older brother—”

“Nice? No, Ms. Chloe can never give me what I want. And owner, is that what Ms. Chloe is saying?”

“What? What did I do?”

“…So Chloe got in the way between Ines and the saint, didn’t Chloe make a mistake too if I said I was wrong?”

“…?? What are you talking about, Ines intervened between us, why did I intervene? Since I’ve been dating longer, isn’t Ines wrong?”

“Hey, you.”

“Why? That’s right.”

I’m going to turn around, why are you guys fighting among yourself?

The arrows of Chloe and Ines, which were focused on Jeanne until just now, are now directed towards each other.

“…Anyway, there’s no reason for me to keep Chloe’s promise. It’s just that you were self-righteous in the first place.”

“…”

A promise? Are you hearing this for the first time?

As soon as the word promise came out of Jeanne’s mouth, Chloe suddenly stood still and said nothing.

Chloe’s bloody eyes turn to Jeanne.

“Yeah… It’s completely muddy, but it’s reduced to muddy water… But the essence is still the same?”

“…You, be quiet.”

“Hmm.”

Chloe’s low voice puts pressure on Jeanne mercilessly, but Jeanne pushes the pressure away with her exhaled breath.

Ines and I are trying to follow the flow of the conversation, noticing the sudden turn of events, but with so little information, we have no idea what the two are talking about.

“I made it clear. Shut up and be still—”

“Ah, was it something I shouldn’t have said? Eh… I promise, I’ll keep it now. Hey, Mr. Ines did too much to get along with each other? Right now, I just have to tell you everything—”

“You, you…!”

Chloe, who has been standing still, runs out with the momentum to headbutt Jeanne.

Chloe completely covered Claudia in her arms so that she wouldn’t get hurt, but the shock wouldn’t be completely eliminated.

Of course, the problem isn’t just Claudia. Chloe also doesn’t know what will happen if she fights Jeanne with her weak body.

I have to stop it.

“Chloe, stop!”

“Brother!”

“I’m not sure why you’re angry, but stop for now. Both you and Claudia. Both are dangerous.”

“But… But…! That b*tch is talking nonsense—”

“It’s bullsh*t, you talk too much. Who said that bullsh*t?”

Seeing Chloe crying in my arms, Jeanne said that, then put her hand on her mouth and smiled.

I am using my whole body to express my unpleasant feelings to Chloe.

…Huh.

“Now, saint. Listen carefully—”

“Jeanne.”

“ㅡ oops…”

Jeanne was about to say something triumphantly, she flinched at my low voice, and as soon as her eyes met hers, she couldn’t say anything.

“I definitely said I would take responsibility for you. But that responsibility doesn’t mean that I will take responsibility for your mistakes.”

“Ah… Uh…”

“By the way… What are you doing?”

Jeanne’s essence is kind, but… But her justification is too much. She just can’t look at it.

Is it reasonable to laugh at and insult my precious wives?

“Do you get along with each other? The essence is still the same? Bullsh*t?”

“Ahhhhh…”

“Jeanne, I must have forgotten because I treated you kindly… Originally, you would never even raise your head in front of these two. You know?”

Jeanne lowered her head as it was, and her body trembled. Even her legs are shaking so badly that it seems very difficult to keep her balance.

Jeanne, who was confident just before, disappears everywhere she comes, leaving only a girl who is frightened and does not know what to do.

“I’ll take care of it for now. But next time something like this happens again… Then you’ll be kicked out of the palace. You don’t have to agree. I don’t need to hear from you.”

“That… That… That’s…”

“… Jeanne, you look very tired. Go in and cool her head.”

“Yes, yes…”

Jeanne, whose body is shaking, bows her head and leaves her room, desperately trying to keep her balance, and I briefly shake my head while looking behind her.

Tsk… I am very surprised that Jeanne would do such a thing.

Until now, everything Jeanne has done while working as her maid has been reported to me. In the report, Jeanne was an innocent girl who was undeniably kind and innocent, and was recognized by the people around her, as if she had been drawn in a painting.

Although Jeanne normally behaves befitting a saint, her emotions become very intense in certain areas, such as the fact that she killed all the corrupt priests as she felt, and the fact that she just showed endless hostility towards my two wives. .

It would be nice if she could learn a lesson from this incident and reduce that aspect a lot.

…………

“Haaa…”

“…Looks like a lot happened during the evening.”

The next morning, Leclerc sees me sighing deeply and says so. It’s as if he’s talking to his grandson, who has a woman problem because he couldn’t take care of his lower body properly.

What’s wrong?

I didn’t do anything wrong, I’m a victim.

[…Everyone must be very tired. I’m sorry this happened. Chloe, let me help you. Ines wait in the room in the meantime.]

Last night, after Jeanne left, she doesn’t remember much.

The thought of reassuring the two of them just took over my head and made me act on my instincts before my ego.

I couldn’t even ask what Chloe and Jeanne had promised because I was so distracted. Since it was already in the past, it was a little out of shape to go back and ask, and since it seemed that Chloe didn’t want to talk about it, I decided to turn a blind eye to it for now as long as there were no problems.

Whew.

“Leclerc, wasn’t it your job to take care of the servants and servants? Why on earth did no one come to rescue me while all this was going on?”

“Yes? That’s because His Majesty—”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“I can’t…”

Leclerc will be very unfair.

I must have put together a near-perfect guard duty system, but it would be impossible for Jeanne to break through and attack me.

Surely, Leclerc must have thought that I deliberately stole the servants and servants.

Since the servants and servants answered as if they knew nothing, Leclerc must have judged that I had silenced them.

But it happened because Jeanne manipulated her mind, not me.

“Leclerc, be more careful in the future. What would she have done if Jeanne had been an assassin?”

Leclerc’s face, which was stained with bewilderment, is now stained with fright.

That’s right, of course.

If I didn’t force the servants and servants to leave and crack down on their mouths, it means that it was Leclerc’s fault that Jeanne attacked me.

Either the attendants and servants were the problem, or the guard duty was not properly organized.

Above all, it seems that what I said really touched me. If it had been the assassin instead of Jeanne, it was obvious what would have happened to her.

‘I feel a bit of remorse… But I can’t help it.’

How would Leclerc react if I told you that all of this was the work of Jeanne?

Perhaps he would deny it with a nonsensical expression on his face. She couldn’t imagine that a little girl could sneak around without her attendants and servants.

However, what Jeanne has is not that kind of skill, but a supernatural ability.

It is said that it is a world with magic, but there is no magic powerful enough to interfere with people’s minds, so if Leclerc knew, wouldn’t he try to expel Jeanne, saying that such a dangerous person could not be placed in the palace?

If that happens… Leclerc will be in great danger.

I don’t know why, but my instincts strongly warn me not to do that. You can’t reveal anything about Jeanne even to protect Leclerc.

“…I’m afraid, Your Majesty. I’m going to fix that field right now, would it be all right if I leave?”

“It is allowed.”

After receiving my permission, Leclerc rushes out of the office, and I look behind Leclerc and sigh briefly.

Rest in peace to the servants and attendants who will serve Leclerc.

“…Let’s do something.”

I feel so bad, but I have to work more because I feel bad. Work is a very good tool to erase your thoughts.

“Let’s see… Huh, time flies.”

Leclerc has left, but the documents he brought with him remain and are on my desk, and compared to other documents that have been around for the past few months, those documents have a very high level of importance.

The fruit of long preparation is finally seeing the light.

“The opening of the university…”

Students, professors, campuses, tools, books, etc. Are all ready.

The only thing left now is time.
