I left my seat and got up.

The wine glass fell, staining the expensive tablecloth scarlet red, but it did not bother me at all.

I stared at Cassius coldly.

“Lord, what kind of joke is this?”

“Obviously, I have confirmed earlier, you only talked about your parents and Miss Ophelia. Am I wrong?”

“….”

As I blinked my eyes, tears rose up.

When stress was extremely high, Evelyn’s body would be unable to withstand and this happened.

I clenched my teeth and held it back.

‘Wake up… Only then can you survive, Evelyn Garneid!’

Composing myself, I opened my mouth slowly.

“So, by making me stay here… What are you going to do?”

Cassius thought for a moment.

“Well, talk?”

“If you are looking for someone to talk to, then go to the salon.”

“But, the salon is not you.”

“If you use me as a companion, you will be disappointed. I am not very eloquent.”

“You are modest.”

Before he continued his words, Cassius leaned over and the smell of musk reached me.

“In my whole life, I have never seen anyone as entertaining as you.”

I am sure that is the case.

Crazy people are always fun to look at from a distance. Just like I thought it was funny when I got to know Cassius Brudenell as a character in a novel. However, now that it has come to reality right now, it was not fun at all.

I widened my eyes.

I have no intention of sitting here and joking around with Cassius.

“Then, just send Ophelia back. Right Now!”

“…As you command.”

At that, he clapped his hand and called for a servant whom I had not even noticed until a moment ago.

Soon, the attendant appeared with Ophelia.

“Sister…?”

It seemed that she had sensed something unusual.

“Ophelia, go home first. I have to… talk to Duke Cassius here first.”

“I do not want to!”

Ophelia’s reaction was intense. “I will stay with sister.”

“Ophelia.”

I called her sternly.

“Are you disobeying my orders now?”

“I… I do not want to go back alone. Please!”

I sighed.

The situation was completely understandable.

Of course, she does not want to go back.

Without me in that house, there would be no one on Ophelia’s side.

Besides, to the extent that Ophelia has been a great will to me in this world, it seems that I have also become that kind of existence to her.

Even though what I did was nothing compared to what she did for me…
