Redemption of the Yandere Villain

106: You Should Have Idea

Following the end of dinner, Eugene dedicated the remainder of his afternoon to enjoying leisurely activities with Timber and Eunice. As the sun began its descent, Eugene made his way to Euric's office, intending to pay his brother a visit before departing from the manor.

"Brother," Eugene greeted as he entered Euric's office.

"Hmm. Sit down," Euric responded, gesturing toward a nearby chair.

"I know you're aware why I wanted to have a private talk with you."

"Indeed. I never intended to keep the matter from you," Euric began, his tone sincere. "I know you well, Eugene, and I wanted to handle it myself before bringing it to your attention. With your responsibilities as the future grand duchess, I didn't want to burden you with additional worries."

Eugene chuckled softly, shaking his head. "But brother, Kaizer has never burdened me with conforming to the expectations of a future grand duchess. Why does everyone assume that I'm too preoccupied with studying matrimony duties?"

Euric's expression shifted to one of surprise and concern.

"What do you mean?" he asked, his tone tinged with disbelief. "Not engaging in matrimony classes implies that your husband has no intention of keeping you as the grand duchess indefinitely, suggesting that you are replaceable."

His features contorted into an ugly sneer. "Does Kaizer plan to divorce you in the future?"

Eugene raised an eyebrow, his expression betraying his disbelief.

"Your thoughts are running wild, brother," he remarked, a hint of incredulity in his voice.

Euric frown, "Eugene you are too confident, you better be wary of others. There are a lot of beauties in the empire, if Kaizer is tempted, no matter how high the status of Shradinza Household, we can't whisthand a pressure from the grand dukedom."

Euric's frown deepened. "Eugene, you are too confident," he cautioned. "You should be wary of others. There are plenty of beauties in the empire, and if Kaizer were to be tempted, no matter how high the status of the Shradinza Household, we couldn't withstand the pressure from the grand dukedom."

Eugene chuckled softly.

"Brother, do you think anyone could simply challenge me?" he asked, his tone confident. "Everyone knows my temper; I'm certain they wouldn't dare to get entangled with me or with my lover." He sneered slightly. "And if Kaizer were to ever betray me, what could I do? Not all dogs are loyal to their owners, but the one I've kept for a long time shouldn't be so easily tempted."

Euric tilted his head, confusion evident in his expression. "Dog?" he questioned.

Eugene shrugged off the matter and said, "Forget it, let's talk about Eunice."

Euric nodded in agreement, reaching for a report gathered by his private investigator. "Here," he said, handing the document to his younger brother. "This details the events that transpired at Baron Derithielle's mansion, including the number of attendees, including those of lower status such as the servants."

Eugene quickly scanned the contents of the report.

It detailed how Eunice had been poisoned around two o'clock while exchanging greetings with Baron Derithielle's daughter. The tea had been served by a close servant of Lady Derithielle. Witnesses attested that the tea served to Eunice was the same as that served to Lady Brittany. Shockingly, Eunice was the only one to experience symptoms, vomiting blood shortly afterward. This alarming incident led to the conclusion that someone had plotted to assassinate the sole princess of House Shradinza.
