Chapter 109.2

“I thought so too, but my father stopped me. Although red eyes were no longer a curse mark, and it was all thanks to you, there are still many people who harbor prejudice against red eyes. The capital is great, so my father reasoned that Kai would be uncomfortable.”

At first glance, this sounds like a good reason. Moreover, it could be deduced from this that Marquis De Flon was terribly fond of Karion. However, Yurina, who knew the content of the novel, found these words unconvincing.

Marquis De Flon stayed with Karion in the capital even before it was revealed in the original story that he was Blessed. But he turned out to be Blessed, but he was worried about Karion and only stayed in the manor?

‘On the contrary, since people know about Blessed, it makes more sense to think that he didn’t want to find out that he had one.’

This made it more certain. Marquis De Flon tried to hide Karion’s identity. Unlike the original, the fact that he wasn’t sent to the Crohn Royal Academy seemed to be an extension of that.

But the question is ‘why’ did he try to hide that fact?

‘Let’s find out about that the next time we meet Karion.’

Yurina collected her thoughts and invited Lydia to stay for lunch, but Lydia lightly shook her head.

“I ate a lot of tea food while drinking tea, so my stomach is full. Besides, I was invited to a tea time today, not a meal, so I think it will only be a nuisance if I stay longer.”

It was a courtesy anyway, so Yurina didn’t regret her refusal.

“Next time, come to our mansion. I was treated undeservedly by the young lady today, so I want to repay you.”

Originally, once invited, it was polite to return the favor. However, Yurina had no desire to do so. Even though Lydia, who handed her the offer, was innocent, she couldn’t trust Marquis De Flon.

Reynard, who had come to the front door earlier, also shook his head slightly towards Yurina.

However, Yurina hadn’t talked to Karion yet, so she couldn’t just say no and end the relationship. She decided to resort to the method she had been discussing with Raynard over the past few days.

“I would like to see the roses at the De Flon mansion. You said that the roses in our garden are more beautiful, but I’m sure De Flon’s roses are good too, and I …”

Yurina suddenly fell silent, covered her mouth with her hand, and coughed. Lydia’s face suddenly showed concern as the cough continued for some time.

“Lady Carthia, are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m okay. Thanks for your concern…”

Cough.

Yurina coughed again and glanced sideways at Reynard, who was waiting beside her. When her eyes met, he shook his head slightly.

‘Isn’t it bad?’

When she asked with her eyes, he answered with his. I don’t think it will work.

‘It worked well when I was young.’

It was time for Yurina to hang herself because she felt embarrassed. Lydia was fidgeting with her and asked Betsy, who was waiting beside her, to call her doctor.

“My lady, are you okay? The air in the room must have been cold when you went to bed last night.”

Betsy shook her feet while looking at Yurina, then hurriedly ran into the mansion, saying that she would find a doctor. Yurina took a deep breath and smiled.

“I’m sorry. After the hunting competition, I went all the way to the manor, so I must have overworked myself.”

“As expected, you seemed to be in a bad state that day…”

“This is true. But it will be better if I stay at home and rest. Actually, I had a little sleep last night, so I must have been a bit tired.”

“But why? You need to get a good night’s sleep to improve your stamina.”

Yurina smiled shyly and whispered in a slightly excited voice.

“But I can’t sleep because I was so excited that the lady is coming. When I was talking with young lady, I completely forgot how tired I was, but since you said you’re leaving, I must be in trouble. Still, seeing the young lady like this, what’s the problem with having trouble sleeping?”

“Oh my…”

Lydia took a deep breath through her nose as if overwhelmed with emotion, and then gently held Yurina’s hand.

“I didn’t know until now that lady Carthia thought of me so much. I was worried, because I saw how you shunned before. But it turns out that everything was like that?”

“I really avoided you. I was a little shy, but I absolutely did not avoid the young lady.”

“Then I am happy. Oh, you don’t feel well, I can’t invite you over. How about I come back with Kai next time?”

“I can’t cause such trouble. Of course I will visit De Flon with Ray.”

“You don’t have to!”

Lydia shook her head vigorously.

“Please do not refuse my sincerity. If the young lady’s condition worsens because of me, I’ll be so worried that I won’t be able to sleep properly.”

“I really can’t cause the young lady to worry. Then, would you like to drink tea with me next time? Young lady and Sir Karion are always welcome.”

“Sure! Kai will definitely like it too!”

Yurina looked at Lydia, who was waving her arms excitedly, and then winked at Reynard.

‘Does it work?’

He crossed his arms and studied Lydia’s expression with narrowed eyes. There was no way Yurina’s acting would work, so it was clear that he thought Lydia was pretending to be deceived even if she knew.

He didn’t change his skeptical expression until Lydia left in the carriage.
