Chapter 156

End of the Count of Cataberia

I read all the materials in detail and write and sign documents.

“A letter has arrived for milady”

I disconnected my eyes from the desk and received the letter from Tanya.

“Well, from whom … oh, it’s from my father, and there is a letter of the Earl of Cataberia together?”

Dida and Tanya react to his name.

They wrinkled slightly the eyebrows, it looked bad.

The Earl of Cataberia is, in other words, the father of Dorsen.

They are wary of what kind of content it is.

I started to read the letter from my father beforehand with a bitter smile to her reaction.

“From your father,” Let’s solve it in this way “…… Ahhh?

Next, I read a letter from the Earl of Cataberia.

“Ohhhh!”

While I was reading the letter, I was surprised and raised my voice in spite of not wanting myself.

“What kind of contents are these….?”

“In short, it’s to apologize, there is no other things in the letter, straight up and down the sentences are to apologize… …. officially the Earl of Cataberia apologizes about the behavior of Dorsen when he came to the Duke of Almeria territory and caused problems. Is it that father protested? It’s a reply to me because of my father protests?…

-… Anyway, I resigned to the Knights and decided to take Dorsen aside so he can’t cause anymore troubles, so I wonder if it’s possible that you put this case off at this?.-

Dear Father, I wonder if you protested …?”

“His parents seem to have been especially angry with Dorsen except for the second prince that was gladly at the trouble he caused to milady”

To Tanya’s information, I am surprised.

Even though it’s been a long time since then, I have learned about it only now.

“Well, was that so?”

“Because at that time he was at the service of Prince’s Ed “lady”, as the second prince said before, no matter what the official notice says, his lady has the decision …even though his lady was still not royalty”

Immediately after that, a notice of abrogation of the engagement came from the royal palace.

Although Yuri was accepted by Princess Ellia, the abandonment of the engagement with me would have been decisive, so it seems that it was officially decided now.

Still, at that time when Dorsen did that to me I was still a royalty as the engagement was not disolved.

“In that sense, at that time Dorsen had already done something that should not be committed. Is it the called family warmth that action the Earl of Cataberia did when stepping down from the knight position and restricting his son to his house for correction? In a sense, it was to protect him. My father would have noticed that he was protecting him, and that made him angry.”

” In particular, I have heard heard that your mother’s anger and actions were great. “

“Oh dear……”

“It seems that your mother herself interacted with the knights and taught them, as your grandfather is the chief of the military, they had a lot of joined tranings. Since it’s like that, the anger about using the Order as such is probably more than your father.” Chivalry is not something that one would show off and break its rules as one pleases, even for a knight’s hand, is not it? If it’s a knight who wields power against a weak maiden as a knights president who will accept such a person as a knight …  “After misunderstanding the Earl of Cataberia as protecting him only for being his son, your mother was so furious that she was declared to be absent from all of the parties that needed to be attended “

“Mother……”

Because Tanya was indifferent when she said mother ‘s words, I felt my mother’s anger greater.

“Even then, is the Earl of Cataberia leaving the Knights ?… … Then, who is the successor to the position? Just to be sure, can you confirm it? Oh, please also bring these documents at the same time..”

“Ok”

After Tanya went out, I got a deep breath.

I was surprised at the fact that described the letters.

But … moreover, I was happy.

Even if I try to keep it, the corner of my mouth will rise without permission and it will make me smile.

Because of at that time, my father got angry for me.

Even though I was abandoned, even though I knew I was useless as the Duke’s daughter.

Even though I applied mud to my family’s name to such an extent that I could not repair it…

I was working desperately after being given the position of acting lord, at that time I did not want to disappoint them by doing something that did not meet their expectations anymore. …… Of course, it is a different reason now.

…… I am distorted.

Because even though others were killed, others lost their positions for life, I am glad to hear the reason for it.

Because I felt the love of my family in this situation.

As I warned myself as an adultery, the shakes from my excitement made my neck shook and a clear sound reached my ear.

That pocket watch was what Dean gave me when I was checking the eastern territory.

If you decide to go to the city and want to give a present as a thank you gift for the Vortic family’s case as well, please also buy one for me. Was Dean message.

It is like a pair of figures that are two in one picture.

While I’m are stroking it, the joy and excitement that I felt until now settle down.

…… I thought about stopping thinking about this any further,

I do not feel sympathy for them, but why is myself going out of joy?

I crouch the pocket watch at the chest again.

A warm smile emerges from that warm feeling that springs from inside my chest.

What is he doing?

I could not thank him enough for all the help he gave me and the satisfaction it caused me. Always kept helping me…

Not only my work but also helped my heart.

Rely on, rely on … lean on me.

I feel love when I think that help is sharing the weight of responsibility leading to the tomorrow of the citizens, but he sometimes distances himself and makes me feel on my own and sometime makes me stand when I’m down.

That is why I want to do it myself and not depend so much on him.

….It is because I can not be with you as a man with a woman… he said.

I thought so, I pulled out a document and wrote down the plan I was thinking of before.

Just then.

“Long time no see, milady”

Dean came in with a knocking sound.
