Molgas lips were sealed as if glued shut. She couldnt say a word.

Virgo was in the same state. He could have asked what she had done, what this was all about, but he remained silent for a long time.

Eventually, Viego approached Molga.

No, he passed by her, the frozen woman.

Why why arent you saying anything

Molga, belatedly realizing, turned to look at Viego, but the oppressive darkness had already swallowed his retreating figure.

The next day.

As soon as the day broke, with sleepless eyes, Molga made her way to Viegos room, her face pale with worry. She needed to devise any excuse for where the medicine had come from and why she was there in the late hours of the night.

She was relieved it was Viego who had caught her. He was the only one in this house who Molga could sway over

Viego.

Yes, grandma.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Viego was as composed as ever, engrossed in some documents. Judging by his expression and tone, it seemed as though nothing had happened in the early morning hours.

Um about last night.

Grandma.

Molga hesitated.

Viego, rising from his seat, approached her slowly. Then, in a hushed voice, so that no one else could hear, he whispered, Grandma, youre like a mother to me. You know that, right?

Well, I

Ive always considered myself almost like your son, grandma.

I feel the same way. Who else would be my son if not you?

I understand your heart better than anyone else in this house. So

I wont say anything. I hope this wont cause unnecessary trouble.

Ah

Molga took a deep breath, clutching her startled heart. It felt like her heart, which had fallen to the floor and dried up, was beating again.

Viego was saying he would pretend not to know anything about this and not ask any questions.

Sigh. Molga, exhaling a sigh of relief, looked into Viegos eyes. There was a bitterness, but his love for her remained unchanged. Just as always.

I heard that Father has been making unilateral decisions that disregard your dedication to this household. Thats why your heart has been troubled.

Well, I just

But you shouldnt have to come forward like this, grandma. If it had fallen on someone other than me, it would have become a bigger issue.

Im sorry I should have asked you for help from the beginning.

Yes. So please trust me and wait a little. There wont be a situation where you and the twins must leave this house. Viego held Molgas shoulders and smiled gently. Molga sighed with relief.

Yes, it was needless worry. Viego had always been a reliable child since he was young

There wont be a situation where you and the twins must leave this house.

alive. Viego thought of the unsaid words and closed his eyes tightly.

Then, there was a small thud. On Larks desk, the pouch of medicine taken from Molga appeared. When Lark signaled to Ren, who was standing nearby, Ren shrugged and discreetly put the medicine pouch away.

Thank you for the valuable evidence, Young Duke, Ren said.

I didnt expect to receive such crucial assistance from you. Lark smirked, If you hadnt suspected the grand duchess, it would have been difficult to unravel this tangled affair. Have you developed a good sense for such things?

Lark, who had been silently watching Viego, still seemingly in shock, raised an eyebrow and said, Anyway, thank you for your cooperation. With this, we should be able to sufficiently bring down the Bert family. We needed evidence that they were still in contact.

The Bert family? Viego was taken aback. The Bert family was Molgas maiden family.

You think the grand duchess could have made that medicine all by herself? How do you think she acquired it?

Viegos eyes flickered. There was a lightning-fast thought racing through his mind.

To buy you some clothes.

Huh? Clothes?

I couldnt even give you a birthday present. It was your first birthday as an adult.

Well, that was mainly because of my dads personality, preferring to hand over a black card instead of buying a separate gift

But somehow, it made me feel good.

Hehe. But where Before I could finish my sentence, the carriage came to a stop.

It was a very familiar sightLuntens boutique street, the main branch of .

Oh, Dad, just a moment.

Why? Get off.

No, Dad? Do you not know this place well? You cant just walk in. You need to get a waiting ticket, and it takes half a day

Ignoring my frustrated stammering, my dad forcibly got off the carriage and held up a small slip of paper between his fingers.

127.

Already got it covered. I told Goth to pick up the waiting ticket this morning.

Wow, youre so prepared. But still, we cant buy clothes. Its a reservation system. Even if we go

I knew that too. Its reserved under Victors name for November. I reserved it along with the accessories shop for your birthday gift. They said the waiting list here is long, so they couldnt fit it in for your birthday.

Wow a thoroughly prepared man who would never make a woman wait!

No, no, this is not the time.

I had no choice but to be dragged by my dad towards the store. In front of the store, there was an employee checking waiting tickets.

Welcome to .

Here.

The employee, after verifying the waiting ticket my dad presented, smiled brightly. Youve arrived just in time. Currently, the tailor is serving customer number 126, so you can enter. Please wait inside for a moment.

Lets go.

Ugh, Dad

Becky would probably be a little surprised. Still, she was a smart business partner who would handle the situation discreetly, so I wasnt too worried. This ridiculous situation of receiving clothes I had designed as a gift from my dad in my own shop is simply too!

With a jingling sound, the door opened. And

Oh, shit.

I stared with my mouth agape as I saw Becky and familiar faces seated at the table.

Oh my, Princess!

The empress.

Oh dear, what a surprise. I didnt think Id see you today.

And Lady Endelturn.

Wow, Rubette!

Even Lisbeth.

Such were the identities of customer number 126.

Becky, who had been dealing with royal customers, looked at my dad and was taken aback. Her pupils trembled as if a bomb had just hit her. Perhaps my own eyes werent much different right now.

My dad immediately recognized the empress and greeted her, Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress.

Nice to see you, Duke Diollus.

The empress, who had greeted us warmly, introduced Lady Endelturn and Lisbeth, then commented, You look really good. You came to manage the shop with your father, didnt you?

Ahhh!

My dad, who was standing next to me, hesitated, and I couldnt find my voice, frozen in shock.

Thats when Lisbeth dropped the bomb. Hehe. Long time no see, Rubette. I was so surprised when I found out you were the owner of !

Well, uh I

Youre the one who gave my brother your business card before, so he could help me buy a dress quickly, right? Hehe, I was so touched. Thank you.

It was over. I felt like a speck of dust, and all the strength drained from my body.

My dad, who had been standing silently, asked, What does that mean?
