Chapter 21-2

Duke Adelairas Mansion, Hanettes room.

Hanette finished her makeup and looked at herself in the mirror.

Unlike other noblewomen, she did not overdo her makeup and only finished it to a satisfactory level.

The necklace hanging around her neck still bothered her, but she reluctantly accepted it, thinking it was worth thirty gold coins.

I received thirty gold coins and gave away eighty. I took a huge loss, didnt I?

Hanette chuckled and left the dressing table.

No matter how many times she thought about it, it was a stupid thing to do, and there was no need for her to have done it.

But instinct overrode reason, and she ended up spending another eighty gold coins to give the item to Sion.

Hmph. Because he was scammed Eighty gold coins flew away just like that.

Hanette still regretted what had happened, but strangely she felt somewhat at ease.

Of course, she still didnt know why she did it.

If she hadnt acted then, she might have ended up resenting herself.

What was he going to do with those gloves? Ill ask him later

As Hanette was lost in thought, she heard a knock on the door and slowly turned her head.

Sion, who had finished getting ready to go out, was coming into the room.

Sister, lets talk for a moment before you leave.

What do you want to talk about?

Youll know when you see.

Sion quickly locked the door and approached Hanette.

Hanette tense up for a moment, but a smile naturally formed on her lips.

Im grateful for what you did back then. If it wasnt for you, I wouldnt have been able to buy it.

Of course, you should be grateful. Im the only one who can help you.

How did you get the money? Hanette insisted.

Why do I need to explain it all? Didnt we agree not interfere with each other.? Sion replied.

When did I interfere? Just explain it to me, Hanette pressed.

Why do you even care? I didnt do anything that would cause me to lose money, so just take it and be done with it.

I wont take it until you explain it properly, Hanette replied firmly, giving Sion a stern look.

Sion, like Hanette, relied on receiving an allowance. It wasnt an easy feat to acquire 80 gold coins in such a short amount of time, especially in their situation.

Ugh I said Id pay you back the money, so why arent you taking it? Sion replied.

I cant take it because it doesnt feel right. What can I do? Hanette argued.

Are you seriously saying that now? Do you know what I have to go through? Sion.

If thats an issue, then explain it to me. Is something bothering you? Hanette.

So, youre not going to take the money? Sion.

Why would I take that money? Ill just consider it as throwing away 80 gold coins, Hanette replied.

Sister! 80 gold coins are not a small amount of money! Sion exclaimed.

I know that. You must have had your reasons for doing what you did. But I also have my reasons for not taking it. Would I pay attention to money I lost once? Hanette replied.

For a moment, Hanette considered what Sion had done to earn the money.

He probably went to Lord Laird or his brothers to borrow money.

If Duke Adelaira learned about this, it could cause quite a complicated situation. So maybe thats why, they gave Sion money to avoid making things worse.

I should have just stayed quiet, Hanette thought to herself, feeling awkward.

If Robbins or Yenid had found out about the 80 gold coins, they would also find out Hanette was secretly saving money.

Depending on the situation, she might not be able to receive her allowance or even lose what little money she had.

Hanette understood Sions intentions, but it seemed like he didnt understand hers.

He had probably done what he did out of kindness, but he didnt realize the consequences of his actions.

Kids these days dont understand my heart. I just wanted to help, Hanette thought to herself.
