"......"

"His case and hers are quite different, Dad."

Carius looked at his father with contempt for her father, as if he had no affection.

"... Wow." Duke Superion was speechless and sighed.

Carius spoke as if admonishing his father, "How could the same be said for Lelia? Her father is... Think about it and tell me."

"But, this guy!"

Eventually, a large bump appeared on Carius' forehead.

Carius grabbed his sore forehead and thought, 'My father's power is still there. It was actually heartbreaking to see my old father when I came back after 6 years... That's a relief.'

He sighed in relief and rubbed the bump on his forehead.

However, contrary to Carius' thoughts, the Duke of Superion was in poor health.

His health began to deteriorate after Lelia left the estate.

No matter what he ate, his taste buds did not change, and every day was quiet and melancholy, and his body and mind became weak.

In fact, the Duke of Superion thought that Lelia might never return.

Even though Emperor Perseus was an idiot who couldn't even recognize his own children, Lelia's parents were still her parents.

As her grandfather, he raised her with affection in his own way... Still, he wouldn't have been as good as her parents would have been for her. He had thought that Lelia left to find her parents, and he prayed and prayed that she would be healthy and happy even if she never came back.

Yet she came back so quickly!

He thought although she wore a man's outfit and she came back with a weird hairstyle, it wasn't a big deal.

It didn't matter to him as long as she came back in good health.

"Anyway, Dad. Are you going to keep it from being revealed to Emperor Perseus forever?"

When Carius asked the question, the Duke's face crumbled.

"Would he believe what we say?"

"But she said he still hasn't found the whereabouts of the nanny, who knows all the facts."

"......"

When the Duke didn't say anything, Carius responded in a tone of wanting to push as far as he could.

"But... We don't know what's going to happen anyway, so let's wait until Emperor Perseus finds out himself. If the emperor finds out, won't she be taken to the Imperial Castle right away?"

The Duke let out a heavy sigh.

In fact, he had been thinking about this issue for years.

Lelia has grown into a beautiful young lady who resembled her mother.

There was no need to prove anything, with or without her nanny's testimony or anything else.

If she appeared in Elizabeth's favorite white robe, Emperor Perseus would immediately recognize his daughter.

'He wouldn't know when Lelia was a child, but she's grown now and needs no other evidence...'

She resembles her mother so much.

Seeing Lelia like that, the Duke sometimes felt guilty.

For Lelia's sake, he wondered if he should tell the truth to Emperor Perseus.
