At the heavy sound, Cedric looked back half.

“This is a magic tool called a kin reader. It tells us about each other’s blood ties.”

“Now…… did you bring pagan things into this castle?’’

“Yes.”

“Selina! You’re so……?!”

“But this thing is fascinating.”

“How can you disappoint me like this?”

“Listen, Uncle.”

I explained every single thing that happened in Aina Village.

Even the fact that Zachary is the new head of the barbarians.

“…… But the result of the kin reading of me and Zachary showed four lines which mean we are cousins. I couldn’t understand, how?”

For a moment, his chest, which was shaking violently, suddenly stopped.

As if time had stopped for only Cedric alone, everything about him was frozen.

“Why did I get this result?”

“……”

Cedric’s body swung round.

His face, which had been flushed with anger, was now white.

“What…… what did you just say, Selina?”

His long fingers were trembling.

I looked at him without emotion and said it calmly.

“My relationship with my father’s extramarital child is cousins.”

Cedric couldn’t even blink an eye. It was to the point where I doubted whether he was breathing.

Knock, Knock.

Just in time, someone knocked on the door outside.

I raised myself slowly.

“Well, we can’t fully trust a magic tool that the pagans use.”

“……”

“The Zachary and his brother may not be my father’s extramarital child.”

Passing by Cedric’s side, I whispered.

“Maybe Lord Patreon is colluding with my mother and trying to deceive me.”

“……”

“I’ll look into it again.”

I looked back just before I left the door of the study, but Cedric was still in that state.

Like a broken robot, like an old tree firmly rooted in its place, it just stood tall.

I couldn’t even guess what was on his mind.

‘Oh, you stuffy.’

I left him without regret and left the study.

I wanted to check first whether the Zachary brothers were really my cousins and whether the magical tool had malfunctioned.

Cedric didn’t fall until a long time later and sat down on the sofa.

‘They are cousins……’

She wasn’t stupid enough to not understand Selina’s words.

The inside of his mouth was dry.

His emerald green eyes, which were moving frantically, suddenly stopped in one place.
