Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 67

Aria did not see Count Chateau’s future directly in her past life. But she could barely predict how he would live.

‘He is a person who eats well and lives well until the end.’

He was no one who would give his life in vain like this.

“You.”

Then, as if Cloud cut off her words, he called Marronnier firmly. Aria and Marronnier looked back at the knight, blinking their big eyes, startled.

“Hmm.”

Then, Cloud suddenly showed signs of a sudden stagnation.

“Didn’t the chief handmaiden warn you to watch out for that?”

It was then that Marronnier had realized Cloud’s existence.

“Um, but that’s…”

She mumbled and stretched her words.

“I always give priority to the Young Madam. I don’t think there should be anything hidden from her. The chief handmaiden will understand that.”

“It’s an ugly incident to hear for those who are still young. Please refrain from it.”

A fifteen-year-old said Aria was young.

Of course, Aria is the youngest among them, but in terms of mental age, she is the oldest.

‘What is that, it doesn’t suit you.’

Why are you covering your mouth all of a sudden?

Aria looked at him very suspiciously.

Cloud scratched the back of his head as if in trouble.

“Anyway, more important news than that.”

Then Marronnier spoke to her, completely ignoring the knight’s warning. And that she is ignoring it openly in front of him.

Aria admired her maid, whose courage was not ordinary.

“After the death of Count Chateau, the Imperial Guard started an investigation. Well, the orphanage run by the County was a hotbed of crime. Can you believe it?”

Marronnier’s shoulder trembled as if she had all the goosebumps out.

“Isn’t he a famous philanthropist among the nobles?”

“…..”

“They did a test on children to develop a new drug? They said that children with outstanding abilities or appearance were scored and sold like slaves and received subsidies.”

In the orphanage of County Chateau, there were children who were promoted externally and children who were used from behind.

Even the Siren, Aria, had to go through a long time before the truth was revealed to the world.

“That’s all the news I’ve heard. Now, the whole Empire is in turmoil because of this incident.”

Marronnier ended her talk there. As a thank you for telling her, Aria scooped out the Mont Blanc cake and shoved it into her mouth.

She hugged Aria tightly with a happy smile.

“Actually, I don’t know if I can say this, but it’s retribution.”

Listening to Marronnier, the current public opinion is, ‘It’s a shame for a nobleman. He died accordingly.’ Public opinion was not good even among the nobles, let alone the common people.

‘Because they thought that even if they did the same bad thing, their dignity would be lowered if that fact was revealed publicly.’

Even if they did their crimes behind the scenes, at least they always had to be elegant and noble on the outside. It’s funny, but that was the life of the nobles.
