Chapter 16 (1/2)

What a good actor.

He’s so good looking and he acted well.

If he were in my world, he would’ve blown everyone away as a brilliant Hollywood child actor.

I unexpectedly discovered my nephew’s new hidden talent, but it was such an irony that I couldn’t be happy in this situation.

As much as I was desperate, Luca was too.

This was a conflict of desperation from two opposing sides.

But there was another desperate person here.

The one determined to take Luca to Winterwald at all costs, Rüdiger.

As soon as Luca stated that he wanted to stay put in Emden, Rüdiger’s eyes shook with anger.

Then, Rüdiger and Luca’s eyes met.

In that short moment, as if the two made a pact, they exchanged understanding glances.

Excuse me, can you not be so obvious when you plot a scheme in front of me?

Rüdiger cleared his throat and began to speak.

“Well… If you consider remarriage, would it not be better to find your spouse using Winterwald’s resources rather than finding them with no help in the village of Emden? It also appears that marriage is not your top priority right now… Since the child looks so distressed, let us all go together.”

Luca’s face frowned when he heard of matchmaking, but his voice boomed.

‘Y-Yeah! That would work! It’s good for you, mom, and for me too!”

What. I said before that it’s not good for me…

But when you look at the conditions objectively, there was no reason for me to not go.

It looked like I was throwing a fit instead.

If someone mentioned that I was acting like this because I wanted compensation, I couldn’t disagree with them for the misinterpretation.

I couldn’t stand the helplessness I felt as the deadly plague approached me, I pleaded with Luca with a tearful voice in one last attempt.

“What if I get mistreated over there, hm? I’m only an outsider if I go there, Luca. Think about it. I’m the sister of the woman who gave birth to their dead son’s illegitimate child. Do you think they’d want to take a woman like me in?”

“Wouldn’t it be alright, since you are that very woman who gave birth to their deceased son’s child?”
