Duke Omerta finally opened his mouth. With a complex look trying not to lose his dignity and claiming to be stunned my father-in-law said,  “It won’t be long before he dies.”

He was hinting that if he did something people didn’t like, he’d die. 

What a nice way to speak about one’s son.

“Ellen, did you join in?”

“No, I’m just as stunned as you.”

The father and daughter, who exchanged gazes, now looked at me.

Ah, no, why are you looking at me? I have no idea what this is at all! I’ve never even dreamed of this!

“A greenhouse in the courtyard is clearly a Southern-styled garden.”

My father-in-law was right. Though glass greenhouses could also be built with the northern climate.

But I’d never meant for Izek to make one here! I just explained it to him because he asked!

Whether or not they looked at it my way, the diligent workers who were instructed by the Strongest Northern Personality Destroyer only focused on their work with mysterious equipment.

Every time the land was divided, the gnomes that jumped out screaming and squeaking were thrown straight into a bucket of holy water.

This was just like treatment of moles.

“Well, this change is not bad because it used to be completely desolate before.”

Thank you, Ellen. As expected of you…

“She won’t run away from home with something familiar nearby.”

“It makes sense, but all of this was once…” Her father looked bitter for some reason.

Elenia soon pursed her mouth, but did not reply. Were they talking about her late mother?

“…If you don’t like it that much, you can just tell him to stop.”

“When did he ever listen to me? He’ll get angry and grab his own father by the collar.”

My tongue-tied father-in-law turned to me again. It seemed that he didn’t like it. He probably thought I was starting to manipulate his son.

Well, he’d be in trouble if Izek fell in love with me from the duke’s point of view.

He had the plan to make Izek divorce me one day and arrange a more fruitful marriage…

“How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine, I’m sorry to have troubled you. I won’t let this happen again.”
