Chapter 111: Chapter 111

Damn it.

Perhaps such rumors spread because Carsein stayed with Tia at the estate for several months. The rumor, which initially seemed to be mere gossip, was spreading more and more because the noble factions actively began to spread it.

“I need your help, mother.”

I visited my mother for the first time. The rumors circulating in social circles had to be stopped there. When the rumor was spread by the pro-emperor factions, it was my father who stopped them, but if the noble factions spread it, I needed my mother’s help without inviting their suspicion.

I turned my eyes away from her with chocolate-colored eyes. She was thrilled by my unexpected visit.

‘Don’t mistake me for forgiving you just because I asked for your help once, Mom. I just came to you because I needed your help.’

Damn it, I felt really bad.

I clenched my teeth, thinking of my young lady who Carsein cared for kindly. I felt terribly bad because I had to define myself as a friend of Carsein, but anyway, I made those young men and women of noble families that my mother invited with extreme care recognize that the rumor about Tia and Carsein was a groundless rumor.

I thought I handled the matter in a way that my young lady didn’t know about it. I almost thought so, without that stupid woman.

“The rumor that Lady Monique and Carsein are lovers… ”

I sharply stared at the woman who thoughtlessly babbled about such a groundless rumor.

I wanted to kill her. I was so annoyed.

Her skin turned white when she noticed my murderous look, but I didn’t care. Anyway, my lady couldn’t see my contorted face. Everyone except Carsein and Tia stiffened, surprised at my rough behavior.

‘These guys are comfortable around me as I am so kind and generous to them.’

Looking at each of their faces turning white, I considered their families. Should I blow them out of the water? Anyway, I really felt bad because I showed my lady’s kindness and warmth to them.

“I’m fine, sir. As I can’t stay here any longer like this, let me leave a little early,” said the woman who gossiped about the rumor.

Good. That’s your smartest judgment today, although you made a bungle of things.

I don’t know what I would have done to you if you had annoyed me a little more.

Carsein is Lady Monique’s lover? How dare you say that so recklessly? Tia is mine. She is my woman. She is my one and only woman. I won’t give her to anyone. I found her first, I fell in love with her first, so she is mine. How can you associate my lady with that guy?

I said, “Lady Nuen, it’s a gem mine. It’s a very dangerous place. You don’t know when an accident will happen. There are many people coveting it.”

“Oh, really?”

“I heard rumors that there are many who are coveting the mines of your father’s estate. You had better be careful, Lady Nuen. ”

“Thank you.”

I smiled, staring at the stupid woman who replied with a trembling voice. You had better watch your language; otherwise, I will ruin your whole family. What an eyesore you are! Just beat it, if you understand me. I was in a bad mood because of this stupid woman.

However, my raging anger disappeared like melted snow when I saw the girl smiling brightly at me.

‘Ah, Tia, my lady, my angel, all of me. You are my one and only love.’

Even if everyone shuns me and is scared of me, you will always smile at me. I’m fine even if it’s because you haven’t seen the darkness within me because you thrill me and make me feel elated.
