Suppressed anger echoed in the room, and the two people in the room were speechless for a moment.

Duke Bell let out a long sigh, he looked at the daughter in front of him with dim eyes, and whispered

: "You don't even want to call me father......

" Looking at Duke Bell, Sandy let out a sneer:

"Heh. "

Why do you have to let me come back

?" "Even if I don't take over this position, isn't there still

Shelley?" "Isn't he your own son? What are you afraid of

?" Squinting at Duke Bell, Sandy continued to ask,

"There is one more thing that I have never understood...... "

Why do you want to make the fact that Shelley is an illegitimate child known?"

And why did they not treat me as an illegitimate daughter, but as the eldest daughter of the Duke?

This question has been bothering Shelley since she came to Duke Bell's palace and was treated differently.

"Something happened in those years

...... "Some things, not so simple......

" did not explain to Sandy, Duke Bell skipped the topic, he turned to say:

"Are you really reluctant to come back?"

"I'm sorry about your mother's affairs......"

"Her bones have long been sent to the cemetery by me, and what you see in her hometown is just an empty grave."

Hearing this, Sandy tried to rush to Duke Bell and grab him by the collar, but stopped after taking two steps.

Glaring

at him viciously, Sandy turned and strode to the door.

As she was about to leave the door, she turned to look at Duke Bell who had returned to the shadows, and whispered

, "Mother, she can't go to heaven anymore...... I hope you don't go either. "

I curse you!!

suicide is a grave sin in any church, even in the religion of evil gods!

Facing the closed door, Duke Bell let out a long sigh, rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and whispered,

"You will be back."

"Definitely. "

In heaven, alas,

......" "There is no place for me for a long time......"

......

Angry feet rang through the empty hallway, and Sandy couldn't control her emotions anymore as soon as she left the bedroom, and her high heels almost crushed the marble floor!

"How dare he threaten me with his mother's grave?

" "He's a scumbag !!"

"He doesn't understand the value of human beings at all, and it's not just where his body is stored!"

Mom's home will always be in that cozy little village, not in this cold ducal palace!"

Nearly crushing a mouthful of silver teeth, Sandy closed her eyes angrily and breathed a long sigh of relief, trying to calm herself down.

"Long time no see, Ms. Sandy. A

clear and gentle voice sounded in front of Sandy's eyes, dispelling her anger a lot.

Sandy looked up and saw her brother, Shelley, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

He was also the only one of Duke Bell's sons who would not make her feel disgusted.

The man in front of him, except for the traditional silver-gray long hair of the Bell family, did not look like a member of the Bell family at all.

He was not strong, and Shelley was tall and strong, but he was not as strong as the Duke had been when he was younger.

He is not lustful, and he lingers in the circle of noblewomen, but there are no scandals related to him.

His face was softer than the others, a little less angular, a little more gentle.

His temperament is warm like a warm spring breeze, which can always soothe the mood of others.

And most importantly, Sandy never felt a malicious gaze here at Shelley.

The kind of eyes that other men look at their bodies with lust.

Even Congreve and Bowen didn't do that

......!" Long time no see, Shelley. Interrupted

by the excitement, Sandy straightened her expression and nodded slowly, intending to leave.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood, is something going on?"

Hearing this, she stopped, and she looked back to see Shelley's expression, who was looking at her with concern.

Looking at the worried face, after a little hesitation

, Sandy said, "I said if, if I become the next Duke of Bell

, what do you think?" I said that I was not willing to fight for that position, what would you do?

As soon as the words came out, Sandy stared at Shelley's expression tightly, wanting to know what he was thinking.

To her surprise, Shelley's expression did not change in the slightest, and he still looked at him with concern and asked aloud

, "It's not important, you tell me first, what happened to you?"

"If I can, I will do my best to help you!" Sandy

wanted to know what Shelley was thinking, and Shelley also wanted to know what she thought.

For Sandy, a beautiful woman who also has long silver-gray hair, Shelley actually has no evil feelings and prejudices in her heart.

Although she may be the only blood of Duke Bell, Shelley is not too wary of her.

Sandy was ten years older than Shelley, who also received some care from Sandy when she was younger.

And the two of them are in a similar situation, they can be regarded as sympathetic to each other, and they get along quite well.

As for the relationship between the two, it's like an ordinary friend who doesn't have a deep friendship.

Neither close nor distant.

“...... Is this what Lunte's canary does?"

Unable to resist his enthusiasm, Sandy hesitated for a moment and asked,

"...... Nothing, you don't have to care.

Sandy looked back at Shelley, and she raised her voice and asked

, "What do you think about my question?"

After a careful observation, Shelley thought for a moment and said,

"I don't have any idea about that position.

Spreading his hands, Shelley chuckled and said

, "It's true!" "

If I could, I would have wanted to leave here ten years ago, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity and ability."

"But luckily, I'm an adult, and I'm good enough to go out and take risks.

"So I'll get out of here soon and get ...... Freely.

Looking at her thoughtful expression, Shelley decided to take this opportunity to say something:

"Actually, I know the meaning of your arrival today, but you don't have to think too much.

"It should be yours, why not?"

"The tragedy of the past does not need to be borne by the people of the present."

"You're different from me, and you need the power to avoid something from happening.

At this, Shelley looked at Sandy, whose expression was gradually changing, and he laughed happily, and said as if he meant something:

"After all, as long as you have that status, you can avoid the same thing from happening."

Hearing this, Sandy's calm expression completely changed, and he said with some uncertainty:

"You...... Do you know something!?"

No way! Nobody should know!

Our business...... Impossible!?

Shelley looked at Sandy kindly, and kept looking at her nervous before he smiled and shook his head

, "Maybe it is, maybe it doesn't, what does it matter?"

"

The marriage is really disgusting!" said

Sandy, who blushed with her beautiful face and looked at Shelley with wide beautiful eyes.

"You!!"

you tell me clearly! You know what???

almost screamed, Sandy was about to go up and grab Shelley to ask for clarification, but Shelley easily dodged away.

"Alright, Lady Sandy, I still have something to see the Duke, so I'll take my leave. Quickly

shaking off Sandy, who was wearing high heels, Shelley walked happily to the duke's bedroom.

Seeing him walk away with ease, Sandy gave up the chase and asked with a sigh

, "...... Why don't you call him father?" Shelley

, who had gone away, turned his head, the morning sun shining through the window on his delicate face, and his blue eyes looked clearer in the sun.

Shelley looked back at her, squinted his eyes and chuckled,

"Why do you have to say some things so thoroughly?"

"My dear sister ......"

Shelley chuckled a few times at Sandy, who was speechless, and turned to walk away.

Watching Shelley's figure disappear into the depths of the corridor, it was clear that the sun was shining on her body and it was warm, but Sandy felt that her body was a little cold.

“...... For

a moment, she seemed to see some kind of dangerous monster hiding in the shadows and licking its minions.

She shuddered at the thought of the cold light that flashed in Shelley's eyes just now.

"It turns out that he is not as weak as he seems.

"That's right, really weak people can't survive in that circle. "

......

There was a knock on the door of the duke's bedroom, and Shelley stood still in front of the door, not pushing the door and entering.

"Ahem, ahem...... Who?

" Standing with his back against the door, Shelley said respectfully

, "Good morning, it's me, Lord Duke, I wonder how your body is?"

The coughing inside stopped, and the old voice of Duke Bell came from inside:

"...... What are you doing here?"

Shelley didn't care about the Duke's stiff tone, and said with a smile

, "Of course I'm here to care about you, after all, your physical condition has not been very good. "

By the way, I'm here to ask you what I should do about it. "

Yesterday, when I was going with the Temple of Justice to purge the cultists of the evil gods, I came across some annoying puppies. "

I accidentally slaughtered them all, I don't know if this will affect you somewhat?"

For a moment, the room fell silent, and it took a long time for a sound to come out.

“...... Hmph! It's just a pack of wild dogs! Slaughter it, slaughter it! Don't tell me!"

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The smile on his face did not change in the slightest, and Shelley shook his head and said

, "I see, I know what to do with it in the future." "

I don't have any other questions, you can rest well......"

"...... When you have nothing to do, you can go out and bask in the sun. "

After calculating the time, Shelley felt that things on Elena's side should have come to an end.

Then he said dryly

, "Then I will take my leave, Lord Bell." "

You...... Why don't you call me father?"

Shelley turned back to the door and smiled brightest

, "What are you talking about? Of course I would like to call you father!"

"Goodbye, Father. "

Good dreams!"

he said, turning and striding away.

"Alas......"

In the room, Duke Bell sighed as he looked at the door that had been closed.

He lay down again, looked at the ornate crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and slowly closed his eyes.

......

Shelley had already sorted out his expression before entering his small building, after all, he didn't know what Elena's perceptual attributes were.

If she could feel her own expression on the outside, adjusting her expression at the door would expose a lot of problems.

"Lydia, I'm back. "

“...... Hmm, Elena, how did you get here...... Uh......"

Shelley's prepared lines got stuck in his mouth, and the surprise on his face didn't need to be faked at all, because he did see a scene that exceeded his expectations.

At this time, Elena and Lydia were both sitting on the bed, and the two hugged each other.

????

(Shelleysan, the lily of the hometown bloomed......

Elena took off her armor and held Lydia in her arms in a knight's suit, patting her gently on the back, her mouth still whispering comfort.

Lydia, on the other hand, rested her chin on her shoulder, looking confused and confused, and a little unloved.

Both of them turned their heads to look at Shelley at the door, Lydia looked helpless, and Elena restrained her gentleness and looked Shelley up and down.

"Ahem, Lord Elena, ......what

are you going to do, princess,

and you won't let go of my maid???

"Where did you go last night?" and who is that woman

......?" And who is that woman you're holding?"

Perhaps thinking that what she was saying was a little too ambiguous, Elena changed her words and said

, "They are dangerous, and I need to know about them." "

Hmm...... Shelley automatically translated her words in his head:

"I don't think she's a good person, do you have a leg!?"

Ostensibly embarrassed, Shelley knew that the critical moment had come!

He looked at Elena with a feigned hesitation, sighed at her determined gaze and said

, "The woman I am holding in my arms is a secret guard, she is responsible for my safety, she was seriously injured in the battle with the devil.

Taking

a deep breath, Shelley continued

, "As for the other person, I can't tell you who

she is......" "What I can tell you is that she is indeed a noble woman, and we only met a few days ago. "

You know that's not what I'm

asking!? glaring at Shelley with some anger, Elena hugging Lydia tighter, and asking,

"What happened last night

!!

?" "

[True, but not quite]

"I'll ...... after that

" Elena hugged Lydia tighter and asked anxiously,

"What happened after that!?"

[

For a short time]

glanced at Elena and the ...... in her arms Lydia!?

Why are you fainting soon!!?

cheeks twitched, but at this time, I can't break the gong, I can only wronged you first......

Shelley could only bow

his head and continue: "I woke up in her bed, something irreparable happened between us......"

[It's all the truth

] [although it's not today]

Shelley's expression was very painful and tangled, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Elena, he didn't dare to show his expression to him.

"I want to keep in mind my character, I am an infatuated knight who loves her deeply in Elena's eyes

!" "Steady and steady, concave good character! Can't show your stuff!"

Although she had already guessed this result, Elena was still a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"He's just an aristocratic bastard who has unrequited love for me. "

“...... But, why is my heart so uncomfortable

?" She was silent for a while, looked at

Shelley who lowered her head, suppressed her emotions and asked calmly, "How did you meet?"

Some surprise, Shelley thought that Elena would turn her face and leave directly on the spot, he raised his head to look at Elena who was trying to keep calm, hesitated and said,

"We just met four days ago.

"Her status in Lunt was that of a widow of great status and wealth. "

Congreve stunned me in order to get in touch with her, and then sent me to her room as a gift. "

What??? Congreve idiot!!

looking at Elena's expression, Shelley quickly explained:

"Not what you think, the widow is just a disguised identity for her to reduce trouble.

"She's actually an unmarried lady, and she didn't know about my presence. "

【...... That's right]

"That's how we met, and her status is very noble...... If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have intersected. "

[None of them are lies, but none of them are really truthful......

[Confess! You're not actually a succubus, you're a lust demon!?]

...... Don't get out of the way now, hey!"

you guys...... Are they lovers now?"

Shelley shook his head silently, sighed, and

said, "Although it happened, she said that it will take time. Releasing

Lydia, who had passed out, Elena got up and walked up to Shelley, looked him in the eye, and said word by

word, "Can you let her go?"

Closing her eyes in pain, Shelley hesitated for a long time, then shook her head slowly but firmly, and whispered

, "Not because of who she is, nor because of anything else...... There's really no way I can leave that responsibility behind. Feeling

like something was tearing open in her heart, Elena bit her lip and didn't look away from Shelley's eyes full of sadness in her tangled eyes.

He was obviously just a bastard bastard ...... of inconsequential bastards

He was right to do something ......that didn't start and give up

Obviously this is the case, but why am I so sad?

Years of royal education kept her from collapsing on the spot, and her voice trembled a little and said,

"...... That's right. "

What you do proves that you are a good knight......

" "I'm leaving, you have to treat Lydia well, she's a good girl." Forcing

not to look at Shelley, Elena walked past him and walked towards the door step by step.

Shelley

, as if he had made up his mind, raised his head and slowly stretched out his hand, grabbing Elena's small hand.

Originally, with Elena's reaction speed, it was impossible to be caught this time no matter what.

However, there are some things that the wisher will take the bait.

Without shaking off Shelley's hand, Elena shook it back slightly, turned her back to Shelley and whispered,

"...... What are you going to do when you grab my hand?"

Shelley's

hands trembled a little and began to exert force slightly, and then said excitedly

, "Lord Elena, I actually

......" "That's enough!"

Elena's soft cry interrupted Shelley's spell casting...... It's not (laughs), acting.

She shook Shelley's hand back vigorously, then shook it off vigorously, and said calmly:

"Pay attention to your current identity......

" "Some things can only be buried in the heart." "

Yes, the pain in his heart will not be less than mine......

But, maybe that's fate......

For the first time, Elena began to lament fate, and for the first time, she began to hate such an arrangement.

"I'm gone

......" "Lord Elena!" Shelley hugged Elena from behind, he rested his head on Elena's ear, and said tremblingly

, "

I will never ......"

Without breaking free, Elena put her two hands on Shelley's arms, interrupting Shelley's ...... performing, she whispered:

"Okay, don't say it anymore, it can only be like this for a while." "

“...... Yes, Elena-sama. "

Time passed silently, and the two ...... in the room None of the three spoke.

One can't help but know what to say, one is thinking about the next move, and the other is ...... I haven't woken up yet, it's pathetic!"

"Let go, I'm leaving." "

“...... Be. Afraid

that the expression on her face would be exposed, Elena did not look back and walked directly to the door.

Stopping in front of the door, Elena asked

, "You said you couldn't tell me her name, so what should I call her the next time I see her......?"

Lady Melly, as others call her.

Nodding her head clearly, Elena decided to give up just like that, and said with a forced smile

, "Yes, I see." "

Shelley, we...... Goodbye. "

Uh-huh......"

The door had just twisted open, and before she could take a step, Elena was standing in the doorway.

Two women teleported in front of Shelley's door, one was a skinny brunette woman wearing a mask.

And the other one is the ...... I saw yesterday

“...... Lady Melly?

" Natia watched Elena walk out of the room, raised an eyebrow, and said,

"Hello......"

"Little girl. Look

at Natia's haughty expression (Elena's perspective) and the contempt in her eyes for herself (psychological).

For a moment, Elena felt as if something had collapsed in her spirit! A

voice echoed in her head:

"You must not let go! Why should I be an exiter? He obviously likes me!"

"You robber, I will never give Shelley to you!".
