chapter 14
I didn’t do anything-3
It is a moment when a person is broken, and sometimes we forget why we are so broken.
What is the reason. what is the reason
Arthur, who was lying down, wouldn’t have thought of it, but Theresia must have known the reason for it.
“…Where is Ned?”
At the cool voice, the attendant trembled.
Inside the room, which was a mess with various pieces of furniture broken, a woman with loose hair sighed.
It was also the woman’s own actions that made the room that way.
There might be someone watching over you. Watching his actions, he didn’t know what he was going to do.
“Oh, no. I am in the basement now.”
“Aha. right. It did.”
Theresia chuckled and burst into laughter.
Ned, who was my butler, eventually lost even that trust.
If you think about it now, wasn’t it award-winning?
My brother is collapsing like that, there’s no way there’s nothing wrong with the food.
Perhaps it was Ned’s instructions to poison the food.
As long as he, who is being tortured now, would tell me about his testimony, that would be the end of the matter.
No matter how much my fiancée did such a thing, that’s why he used poison.
…He was a scarier man than I thought.
Since when had she been hiding such a dagger in her arms, Theresia let out a small sigh and ran her hand through her hair.
Her hair was tangled with blood.
I forcefully pull on it, until I end up tearing my hair out of my fingers.
Even so, the expressionless face of the attendant turned blue.
Even this didn’t hurt Theresia.
It’s been a week since Arthur’s illness got worse.
The doctors who came couldn’t find the cause of the disease, and even the clergy. I couldn’t cleanse the poison.
“The guy who said he would call the saintess.”
“I-I haven’t been able to contact you yet-”
“How many times have I told you to come by today!”
Boom, Theresia shouted as she hit the desk that was still intact with her hand.
As he hit the desk, splinters of wood stuck in his hands and blood dripped, his thoughts about that poison were still in his head.
Possibly from eating food in Germany. I wondered what kind of German it was.
Even the attendant, trembling in fear, looked pathetic.
I’d rather… interrogate like Ned did.
There is no need to be so frightened right now.
Are you angry with yourself? No, that’s all I was asking.
The priest must have asked quite kindly about when he would bring the saintess.
Why are you reacting like that?
The frozen eyes slowly melted again at the sound of coughing from afar.
It was a sound that could no longer be called a simple cough.
Every time it pours out, the whole body’s vitality is vomited out, and it’s enough to know that it’s gradually dying.
“What the hell, what the hell is this all about? The Taylors poison us!”
To Theo, the head of the Violet family, the sound was like thunder from the sky.
He never hit Chuck, let alone the sons of both families were betrothed to each other until a few days ago. Why the hell would you poison yourself?
He didn’t even know the exact truth.
He only listened to Theresia’s words, but even he couldn’t make a clear-cut judgment about the situation.
“…I don’t know either. Why are you doing this to us?”
“Isn’t that just sick? Wasn’t it a place that we weren’t interested in in the first place? Why the hell would they use poison on us…”
stupid.
Is it just to suspect a sick person this far?
I had heard that there were symptoms similar to that disease, but seeing that the improvement did not improve even with medicine, I could tell that it was not a simple disease.
What is pneumonia? No way. that’s poison
The poison that Robert Taylor used himself to bring down the Violet family that used him.
“Father, don’t worry too much. They won’t be able to do anything to us either.”
It was a very revealing maneuver.
If he had only the certificate to find out by torturing Ned, he would be able to attack the Taylor family later.
Stupid Robert, does he think he will collapse with just this kind of trick?
Ha, the corner of his mouth twists at the sudden outburst of ridicule.
It was such a grotesque and bizarre expression that Theo, who saw that smile, trembled slightly.
There was nothing reflected in the cold pupils.
I just looked at my older brother who was lying there coughing blood from his mouth.
There is neither reason nor reason.
What is the difference between now and when he fanatically believes that everything he judges is right?
It was Ned that Theo remembered.
To calm her daughter down a little, wouldn’t Ned, who had been with her since she was a child, help?
Theo opened his mouth to find out the name.
“Come to think of it, Ned is nowhere to be seen. Where the hell are you in the same situation right now? Come find me right away!” “You can’t come even if you look for it.”
Theo turned his head at the words thrown at him.
The only one who didn’t understand that he couldn’t come was Theo.
Each of the attendants lowered their heads, closed their eyes tightly, and tried to avoid what was to be said next.
“Below, the traitor.”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about. By traitor, do you mean Ned?”
“I hid the fact that he poisoned the food. Perhaps we are mistaken for believing in ourselves. I’ll probably open my mouth in a little while. Why, you are in our family. Torture Technician.”
It was only for a moment that my mind went blank.
He couldn’t bear to think that what his daughter was saying was real, so all he could do was stare blankly at her smile.
A traitor… He knew better than anyone else that that couldn’t be the case.
stay there underground
The expression on her face hardened so that she couldn’t even laugh anymore, but Theresia, without noticing it, was muttering something she couldn’t understand.
Poison, at least in Theo’s opinion, it was hard to see my daughter’s fiancé as such a miserable person.
Besides, there was no way that Ned, who worked the longest in this mansion, would intervene in putting such a poison.
Robert was still in Theresia’s head, who couldn’t even feel the eyes staring at her as if in vain.
The poison he must have smuggled in, how to get the antidote.
It’s been a long time since her father disappeared from her eyes.
‘…As expected, I need to kneel down.’
In the meantime, there have been several times when I have sent letters pretending to be remorseful.
I was just waiting for a reply to come back. Maybe… I wanted to see that mug in person.
“Father, don’t worry too much. I will solve it.”
I whisper to my father who is sitting on the floor.
It was probably because of the shock of his older brother falling.
In fact, how would you feel if you knew that it was all because of one person?
Theresia still believed that this situation could be resolved.
No, isn’t it natural?
What Robert wants is for himself to apologize.
I don’t know how far they’ve figured it out, but if they plead for it while blaming it appropriately, maybe they’ll give you an antidote.
If there is a situation where they don’t give it, it will rather be a handshake for Robert.
“I’ll be gone for a while. It won’t be long.”
The sun was still shining bright outside.
I hated that year too. He was so serious right now, and even Heaven seemed to be laughing at him.
Wow, Theresia, who crumpled the letter in her hand, stood up.

“…So, they say they’re heading this way now.”
I nodded my head listening to what Leonard said.
I thought the reaction was quite slow, but maybe I was in my own delusion.
She was a weaker woman than I thought.
I thought of the poison I didn’t put in and asked for an antidote.
“Originally… did you have paranoia?”
“No, there was no delusion. It’s just that my family’s not feeling well, so my head is going crazy.”
I knew very well that she had no such thing as paranoia.
Maybe what I said triggered my mind, or if not, I think I sincerely doubt the situation.
I burned a few letters, but is it finally coming?
Reynolds, who was looking at my sudden smile with a puzzled look, eventually asked me about the preparations, whether he remembered what happened last time.
“By the way, don’t you need to prepare anything like last time?”
“Well. I think it would be better to be prepared this time.”
It was hard to imagine how Theresia’s feelings would be when she came to this place.
I thought it would probably be quite urgent, but somehow I thought it would be quite serious.
Seeing that he’s talking nonsense about poison and antidote, he must be apologizing for this incident.
It’s not just about going back to that level. After thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth with a small gesture to Reynold.
“One car will suffice. I will be out early.”
“All right.”
All the while I was getting ready to go out, fixing my clothes, what was on my mind was the last time I had spent with Theresia.
The time I lived in order not to miss the possibility of living even a little,
what to throw away. I lived my life forcibly holding on to things that were no problem even if I threw them away.
Didn’t you live with the thought that if you made a mistake even once, you would die?
Every moment, every circumstance, a little mistake was my death.
When I think of the time when I died just because I made a mistake, I couldn’t figure out what the world wanted from me.
“Are you just going to die?”
There was a time when I lived like a tenacious person to resist it, but now it’s like wishing for that kind of death.
The steps toward the garden felt lighter than ever.
Even though this meeting is not very pleasant, isn’t it rather that I blow the 100 times I’ve built up towards the past.
But it was fun. To the point where I couldn’t stop laughing for a moment and smiled.
I just thought it was a really good day.
It seemed as if the grass I stepped on and the lush greenery of the garden were smiling at me.
The warm sunlight bathes your body, and the warmth of summer surrounds you.
I saw two tea cups on a round table in the garden, and a kettle full of chamomile tea in the center.
He pulled out a white chair and sat down, waiting for Theresia to come soon.
Only Ronald tried to stand next to me, but I shook my head and said it wasn’t necessary.
“There may be situations you don’t know about.”
“There is no such situation. You do not have to worry.”
The way Theresia tried to kill me was also very diverse.
I knew very well how to deal with it.
And would you have spent 100 just playing around? No matter how angry a woman was, she wouldn’t be able to brush a hair on me.
hee hee-
I opened my eyes to the sound of a horse crying in the distance.
Maybe the woman I’ve been waiting for has arrived.
He straightens his posture, like a gentleman waiting for the woman he loves. Right away, he recalls me from the previous episode and smiles softly.
another angle, another angle.
The woman I once loved, the woman I loved.
That’s why I laughed, and there were many times I wore a mask to suppress my desire to cry.
It was time to say goodbye to such a woman.
The only parting gift I can give her is being as polite and warm as possible.
I can assure you, Theresia’s appearance when she saw me was probably a mess.
This laughter will be the worst poison to her.
