The Law of a Balanced Plate (I)

"Try not to act weak. To begin with, that trash was just mistakenly born. He did not even consider he was the cause of the death of the late duchess." The other beside the one who talked responded.

How did the conversation come into this? They just warned him and then now, they added something about his past.

"You better be careful. If you ever see someone with black hair and red eyes, then you better run or call for help."

"Thank you." Immediately after they warned him, Bendry uttered thanks and left.

Hearing him spoke the same language caught the two librarian's eyes but they could not say another word as Bendry immediately went away.

"..."

Gossips.

Bendry realized that, that word also existed here. Where humans are, gossips never fail to exist.

Something in him was in agony... Remembering the villain's childhood, the Bendry was kicked by his sibling and told him he was the cause of their mother's death.

Duchess Rianne Serventine.

With a snow white hair and a pale white skin, everyone likened her to the discription of a legendary snow queen. Here eye were crimson, having the shape of a cat's eyes. Anyone would feel hypnotized by staring at it for longer than a second.

Although she was still a mystery to everyone including her husband, those who knew her could not get her off of their memories as a lovely treasure.

They could not ... and they would not especially for the duke.

Duchess Rianne was just simply a lady. The same as any other ladies in the kingdom, though some cases, she would surprise everyone with anything. The is why the duke loved her so much. She was like an open piece of paper. Her intentions were pure.

After their marriage, they began to have four children. All the servants in the mansion could clearly see that their family became more lively. They were the embodiment of a happy family. So perfect that other nobles would get jealous of the couple.

Unfortunately, those happy memories ended after the duchess gave birth to the fifth child. A child with black hair and red eyes.... The duchess turned pale. She was devastated. She trembled while holding the baby. Fear covered her entire countenance.

Since that moment, she rarely goes out of their house and would usually stay in the garden.

Everyone in the mansion knew that she regretted giving birth to a child. She regretted it. She kept saying she regretted giving birth to Bendry.

It only reached a month after giving birth to Bendry. After a huge calamity ended, the duke arrived in the mansion still wearing his armor that reek of blood. He heard the sudden news. He hurried his steps to his room just to see a lifeless body of the duchess. Without knowing why, the duchess killed herself with a knife slicing her neck.
