Chapter 46

Ophelia and Sir David, who seemed to have become a cockroach couple, when I did not see them, did not leave each other’s side.
[ T/N: Cockroach couple is a term used by single people to belittle couples, or to say that their behavior is annoying. ]

“Oh no, Lady Evelyn…!”

“Be quiet, Ophelia.”

“Young Lady of Garneid, this is—”

“Sir David, please be quiet.”
​​
I touched my forehead.

How long has it been since I left that they have become so close?

Of course, I noticed and was aware of the fact that David fell in love with Ophelia at first sight. Still, I have never dreamed that Ophelia would be so engrossed in him that she would be marrying him.

“…I need to ask you one thing, Sir David. Are you dating my sister?”

“Miss Ophelia and I are dating on the premise of marriage.”

At his bold reply, the faces of the Baron and Baroness Marquell turned sour. On the other hand, seeing Ophelia’s brightly smiling face, I could guess the situation.

“You two, go out.”

I resolutely turned to Ophelia and David, suppressing the urge to shake my head. The scene that will unfold from now on would not be very pleasant, and I did not want to taint Ophelia’s ears.

“Yes, I got it.”

Was it an illusion that David’s face, who hurriedly took Ophelia away, looked so bright? It was not that important, anyway.

With that thought, I turned to Baron Marquell and his wife.

‘It looks like they must have a lot of money.’

It was the impression as soon as I saw them.

Since they have spent a lot of money in the past, I could roughly estimate the value of the clothes and jewelry they are wearing.

‘My head hurts.’

If he was a baron whose spending was comparable to that of Count Garneid, he would have naturally thought about his son’s marriage partner. Though suddenly, his son brought Ophelia and made a fuss about marrying her, so he could not help but get angry.

‘Still, that does not mean they are allowed to pour their abusive words on Ophelia.’

Besides, I also wished the two of them would be together like they wanted.

“I heard what you said about my sister.”

“….”

“No matter how different Ophelia is from me and my mother, she’s definitely my younger sister and a member of the Count Garneid. Please, mind your manners and treat her with respect.”

“Young Lady of Garneid.”

Baron Marquell, whose face turned dark red, opened his mouth. His hands were shaking with excitement, and he seemed very angry.

“Don’t say anything you don’t mean.”

”What are you talking about?”

I asked innocently.

“Ophelia is definitely my precious little sister.”

“…I understand that the Young Lady loves the illegitimate child. Though you can’t see the Young Lady and illegitimate children as having the same bloodline.”
