Chapter 496: Reuniting Mother and Daughter

Baroness Vold, Charlotte-sans mother who was now the honorary Baroness, was the third daughter of Viscount Packards house.

The name of Charlottes mother was Elizabeth von Vold. She was apparently only slightly over 30 years old.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Its apparently a normal age to marry for a noble daughter, but my personal feelings about it is that she was a bit young to have a big daughter like Charlotte.

Actually, Id be surprised by her youth even if we meet. The commoners of this world do not marry young. I suppose it was distinctive of nobles.

The sons and daughters of nobles often get engaged in early in their life, and Charlotte-sans mother Elizabeth-san was also betrothed before she had turned ten.

Her husband, a baron, seemed like a nice and gentle person, timid, not physically built, and he was a natural-borne civil servant.

Her father, who was innately good, had probably never even suspected that there was someone among his subordinates was committing a crime. He wasnt mentally strong, so when he was accused of a crime and was deprived of his rank and lost his territory, he collapsed from the shock and died then and there.

Elizabeth-san, who lost her home, lost her husband, and had her daughter taken away from her as a criminal, had also collapsed from the shock, but perhaps because women were mentally and physically stronger, Elizabeth-san returned to her parents home and slowly regained her physical strength, thinking of ways of how to prove her husband and daughters innocence.

Charlotte!

Viscount Packard spoke in a hushed voiced, wanting me to protect Elizabeth under absolute secrecy for a while.

As an Honorary Baroness, it is not necessary for Elizabeth to stay in her mansion in the Capital because she has no official posting.

if I am not mistaken, the culprit behind the dilution of wine in the Vold Barony has yet to be caught. His Majesty and Lord Simon had decided that nothing happened on paper, but for cautions sake, it would be better to be mindful of Madam Elizabeths safety.

It was announced that Baron Vold had died from an illness, and because Baron Vold has no heir, Madam Elizabeth was made to be the successor. That way, the number of Royalist nobles would not decrease, and as for the people who schemed behind the scenes, Lord Simon made the Shadows investigate them, so the Noblists would decrease by one or two.

I dont think it would happen, but Madam Elizabeth might be resented in return.

Very well, Viscount Packard. I will take custody of Lady Charlotte and Madam Elizabeth in the Sanctuary for the time being.

Ohh! I appreciate that, Iruma-dono!

Viscount Packard shook my hand with both of his in delight. He must not be able to help it, since his daughter and granddaughter were cute.

I may as well invite Viscount Packard to the Sanctuary lodging. There, he could relax with Madam Elizabeth and Lady Charlotte.
