Chapter 45 – Part 2
“Lady Mariette, it’s time for you to go under your warm and fluffy blanket. You’ll catch a cold if you keep on looking out the window like that.”
“Yes~”
I couldn’t take my eyes off the window and only shifted in my seat.
’I think I heard a horse neigh a while ago.’
If my hunch was right, it was probably the sound of Luca and her brother’s carriage heading home. But the garden was so large, and it was night so I couldn’t see the outside too well. I heard a neigh soon after.
Was it that bad?
I quickly shook off the flood of regrets. If I let it be this once, I might have to give up something too big one day. I might even come to forgive the temple that drove my mother to her death and made my family like this.
‘That’s never going to happen.’
I had to be cold-hearted and stronger to be able to punish them without forgiveness. I remembered the man in white as I wiped my face dry.
‘I will never forgive you.’
“Look, Miss. You’re sleepy, right? Hurry up and come down here quickly. Come on~”
While I was earnestly vowing to get revenge against them, Pihne reached out her arm to me. She seemed to misunderstand that I was wiping my face because I was drowsy.
“Oh, I’m not sleepy yet.”
“Isn’t it already past bedtime?”
“But…”
“No, you need to sleep early to grow taller and stronger, alright?”
“…Nng.”
I wanted to stay up a little more, but I couldn’t refute the truth in her words. I had no choice but to hold her hand and come down from the window, stretching out my hands in front of me. Soon, a warm towel passed through my hands and face.
“Pihne, you know….”
“What is it?”
“What will happen now to Luca’s father?”
Pihne rolled her eyes as she searched for an appropriate answer. “Since Sir Dante dealt with him himself… it will be done in no time. Were you worried because of that?”
“Huh? I’m not worried, but Dad seems to be very angry…”
So Dante was the one who took care of him. I was worried that he would be decapitated, but I was glad that he avoided death.
’I can’t have blood on Daddy’s hands! How can I protect him?’
Putting oil on her hands, Pihne dabbed my cheek.
“He disdained the master and lady. That’s something he shouldn’t do as one of the family’s vassals, so it was only proper that he was deprived of his qualifications. It wouldn’t be enough even if he was to get down on his knees for hundreds of days and nights, no, even in a thousand days and nights. If it was me, his limbs would immediately… ahem.”
’Huh…? I think she said something vague in the end.’
I nodded, thinking that I must have heard it wrong. When Pihne’s fingers rubbed my eyebrows, I involuntarily closed my eyes and opened my mouth. “Fine, then….”
“Yes, Lady.”
“As Pihne said, should I forgive him if he gets down on his knees and apologizes?”
Pihne’s soft fingers stopped at the bridge of my nose, and I slowly opened my eyes.
She had a resolute expression on her face, “No, there’s no need for you to do that at all. You have no obligation to forgive him.”
“Even after apologizing?”
Pihne nodded. “Yes. The wounds you suffered won’t heal even if he sincerely asks for your forgiveness.”
I opened my eyes and looked up at her. Her eyes were smiling in half-crescents.
“When you feel a lot better, you can think of forgiveness. It’s alright even if you don’t. Honestly, I don’t think you should.”
“I see…”
“I’m saying this again, but this is absolutely not the lady’s fault. It’s only natural to be punished when you’ve done something wrong.”
“Mm.”
In fact, I wasn’t referring to Viscount Rochelle, but to everyone who bullied me and my mother. I think this would happen more often in the future.
“There’s nothing for you to worry about, do you understand? It’s all done now. I will turn off the lights after you lie down.”
“Ye~es!”
I hid my innermost thoughts and hurried to the bed, grabbing my blanket and raising it to my neck with only my head sticking out. “Pihne, I’m lying down.”
She burst into laughter as she waited for me. “Then have a nice and beautiful dream today, Miss. Pull the rope to call me whenever you need me for something, okay?”
“Yep. Good night too, Pihne!”
Soon, the lights went out, only a small lamp by the bed emitting a soft light. I closed my eyes tightly until I heard Pihne go out. When she finished cleaning up the room, Pihne finally left the room.
’One, two, three, four… twenty.’
She was probably far away now, right?
I opened my eyes and got up, kicking the blanket away.
