Chapter 40

As I had closed ht, Alicia was probably sensitive to es in demeanor

Otherwise, there’s no way she’d react like this to a h relieved by the war sun

“It’s nothing I couldn’t sleep well last night”

“I think you also said that last time… I hope you’re not sick, Sister”

“I’m really fine Don’t worry, I just really didn’t sleep well”

After giving her a sed and looked away

I could still feel Alicia’s gaze onat the side of h I didn’t notice

Soon, I felt the gaze that was hot againstaway

Anyway, isn’t she cute

No ht about it, those tere so similar

Alicia and Cassion

If Alicia was a se puppy

In conclusion, both reses… No, puppies, ainst pups’

That’s why I care about those two

It was a reasonable guess in its oay

“Sister”

When I fell into , Alicia called out to me in a small voice

“Haze and looked at Alicia

Alicia wasn’t looking this way and just blinked But even so, she looked like she was feeling anxious about so

It was toohow tired I looked

She chewed on her lips for a moment before she slowly opened them to speak

“Um… Our nanny… No, Katie Have you heard about her?”

It wasn’t until the name ‘Katie’ was uttered by her pink lips that I understood what she was anxious about

It hadn’t been long since the incident happened, and Katie would reer for Alicia

The abuse had lasted for more than a decade, and the otten

With a gentle touch, I patted Alicia’s shoulder and spoke

“Katie? What about her?”

Alicia had been looking into the distance blankly until then, but she turned to aze

She seemed to look better than before

“The ht now said that, well… She said that Katie can’t talk anymore”

This time, I was the one who blinked

I didn’t expect to hear about this straight fro

“Oh my, how in the world”

It was a problem that I knew about the

I stopped walking as Alicia said this, and she as well stopped in her tracks

“She can’t talk anymore? How did she end up that way?”

When I asked with ulped down Her cheeks became tinted with pink

Why on earth

Alicia sometimes still blushed whenever she facedthis will last, but it wasn’t all that bad It’s cute

“I’m not sure I don’t think anyone knows the reason Maybe it’s the shock of being iuess”

She stuttered a little, shy as she spoke I nodded and listened carefully to her words

“A…ha”

When she was done talking, I let out a s the end of Alicia’s explanation, I was relieved that no one see to be relieved about

There was no connection between Katie’s inability to speak and ‘me’, just how unlikely it was to think about a connection between ht for a while, not saying anything, but I soon asked

“Then shenow I heard that the interrogation isn’t completely over yet”

‘If you don’t have a mouth, you’re bound to speak with your hands’

This hat I felt uncoood that Katie’s lips had been sealed, but she still had enough education to the extent that she was a nanny of a duke’s children

And writing was the basics of the basics

‘Should I go back and twist both her wrists?’

I’ve been thinking about doing this already, but I decided not to pursue the thought

If I do such a thing, wouldn’t that just be tantaeon?

Besides, people would start suspecting why Katie lost her voice all of a sudden

Well, I did still come back there one iven a piece of paper and a pen, she thrashes and refuses to accept thehtened”

This was both surprising and not surprising at all

This was the result of ain to solve the worries that have beenme uncomfortable

‘A mouth that can’t speak, hands that can’t be used’
