Chapter 116 – I Was Strange
Ian’s parents were perfect people.
Both of you.
The eyes looking at Ian are full of parental affection,
From that alone, Ian could infer how she grew up to be such a healthy young man.
What would it be like if I had parents like this?
At least it wouldn’t have grown this crookedly.
And above all,
You wouldn’t have had any trouble answering questions from your father and mother.
I can’t be more resentful of being born an orphan.
However, I couldn’t lie, so I had to tell the truth to the two people who asked about my family register.
Honestly, honestly.
I was sure that if I lied and said that I was embarrassed or ashamed right away, I would be severely criticized later, so I decided to only tell the truth and opened my mouth.
“I have a father who took me away, but I don’t know where he is now…”
“Baby. You don’t have to make that face. “I didn’t mean to find fault or cause trouble, but I asked purely out of curiosity.”
“Yes…”
“I told you before. You can think of us as your real parents. Of course, I’m not forcing it. It won’t be too late when you can open your heart more to us.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Mom… To think so,
Well, he had a face that made me wonder if the age difference was too young, but…
Anyway, the ideal mother was there.
I kept saying.
“Ah. My mother is gone, and I can’t contact my father… “I do have one older brother.”
“So?”
“Yes. Maybe you two know. His name is Rohan…”
“Rohan? “I’ve heard this name a lot.”
“I’m a professor of elemental science at the academy.”
“Hmm?”
Um, hmm?
From the moment my father heard my brother’s name, he rested his chin with an expression as if he couldn’t remember anything.
Rohan, Rohan… And he rolled the name out of his mouth.
I wonder if I’m the only one who caught that image,
My mother asked my father.
“Tristan. “What’s wrong?”
“No. “Because the name is familiar somewhere.”
“You said you were a professor, right? It might seem familiar. The story may have come and gone.”
“I see. Umm…”
My father had a frustrated look on his face, as if he couldn’t find the itchy spot.
It seemed like everyone in the room, including me, felt it was a bit strange, but as the conversation progressed, we soon stopped caring about it.
“Ian. When does the academy’s next semester start?”
“There are about two weeks left.”
“Okay. Until then, stay here. Both.”
“I thought so. “As long as it’s okay with Eve.”
“Well, I, yeah, if Ian wants it, fine…” .”
“A lot of sesame seeds are pouring out.”
“Tristan. Don’t beat yourself up. “You know what, didn’t you?”
“… “I don’t think so.”
“Is it so? “Can you make it happen now?”
“No, it was a mistake. Ma’am. I also absolutely like what Isolde wants. Hmm. “I forgot for a second.”
“Ho ho ho.”
Geumseul was a good couple.
It seems like my mother is in control, but whatever.
My mother looked at her father with somewhat scary eyes,
Look kindly in my direction again and speak.
“Baby. Do you need a servant or a maid to help you?”
“Oh, no! I think it will be okay.”
“Okay? Why?”
“Boo, I feel burdened…” .”
“Oh. “It’s the same as Ian.”
Listening to my mother,
I don’t know why being like Ian sounds so good.
As I was smiling, my mother said.
“It’s been like that since I was young. No matter who appointed me, I declined. Especially when it comes to things like taking a bath or changing clothes, I feel very embarrassed. .”
“It’s not like I don’t have hands or feet, so who do I order?”
“Hey. Don’t go somewhere else and talk about that. “It may sound like you are ignoring it.”
“I know that much.”
“Anyway… I thought it was because he went through puberty early, but since he never had a relationship and was always looking for women… “I’m getting more and more suspicious, right?”
“Yes?”
“I wonder if you like men. Baby. “If you hadn’t come, I would still have doubts.”
“Please stop talking about that…”
It’s clear that the story came out as a joke,
Ian made a terrible face, as if he couldn’t take it as a joke.
When she saw that, there was a sea of laughter.
The man who seemed so perfect was just a helpless son in front of his parents.
Maybe you thought you were making fun of Ian too much,
Mother spoke soothingly.
“Sorry. But understand. “We, too, are parents who have been in trouble once.”
“What if you get seriously hurt?”
“Well. “Your sister.”
“…”
“I understand now, but the shock we received back then was not that great…”
“Ma’am. “That’s enough of the story.”
“All right…”
I’m sure I’ve met Ian’s older sister once.
From what I remember, Lisa seemed like a very nice person, but I guess her parents’ position is bound to be different.
Thanks to this, the atmosphere calmed down a bit.
“He doesn’t even want to talk to me.”
“That’s because you lost your temper without even listening to me at first, right?”
“… Well, I have nothing to say.”
“He’s not the type to listen to me very well. Ian. Please speak carefully in the middle. We are okay with who our daughter is…”
“I’m sorry I feel like I’m passing the burden on to my son for no reason.”
Judging by the nuance of what you say,
It didn’t seem that difficult.
Since I’m not in a position to discuss other people’s family affairs, there’s nothing I can do for you.
“… Ah. It’s already time. Ian. Baby, go in and rest. “It must have been hard to get here.”
“Yes.”
“I said I didn’t need an attendant… You can ask Ian what’s in the mansion. “I’ll call you when it’s time to eat, so make yourself comfortable.”
“Thank you.”
“I have work to do, so let’s go out together.”
“Yes. Mother.”
Ian and her mother got up and left the room.
I was going to follow right away, but…
At that moment,
My father called me.
As if there was still something left to say.
“Hey.”
“Yes?”
“Did you say it was Christmas Eve?”
“Yes.”
“It’s nothing special, but… “I wanted to ask you something.”
“Please speak.”
My father seemed to be thinking for a moment, but
In the end, he said it as if he had no choice but to ask.
“It’s Alchemia, do you know?”
“Yes.”
It was a natural thing for me.
Because that was Brother Rohan’s castle.
Although I was adopted as an adoptive daughter, the name of the family that I could not receive as I was just a woman without a drop of blood came out of my father’s mouth.
“Let me ask you more directly. “Your brother’s name is Rohan Alchemia, right?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. Thank you for your answer. It’s okay to go out and take a look. “I’ll see you at dinner.”
I nodded and followed Ian outside.
Was it my mistake that I heard a sigh just before closing the door?
…
…
…
With only Ian and I left,
I followed Ian around, looking around like a country girl who had just arrived in the city.
The Ernest family’s mansion was incredibly large and had many strange things, as if to prove the family’s reputation.
I’ve definitely had the experience of living in Alchemia’s mansion, but perhaps it’s because I’ve spent most of my time in the basement, or maybe it’s because of the size of the place itself, but there are things I see that I couldn’t see before, right?
Above all,
There are a lot of users in Alchemia that I’ve barely seen before.
“Ian, Ian, I saw… ?!”
“Yes? “What?”
“Shh, your voice is too loud. Hey, that guy, that guy… !”
“That person? Ah. Lily. “Could you come over here for a moment?”
“No, I’m not saying call you… !”
The maid called Lily followed Ian’s call and came to us.
“Did you call me, master? I’m glad to see you again after a long time. Ah. This person, of those rumors…”
“Is there any rumor?”
“Because it’s Ian. Oh. Was that rude?”
“It’s even rude.”
I was so shocked that I hid behind Ian and couldn’t say anything.
Ian felt my reaction was strange and sent Lily back.
When she was completely out of sight, I slapped her arm and started whining.
“Boo, what if I call you out…” .”
“He is a good person.”
“That’s not what I meant. Ugh, I was just watching because it was fascinating.”
“What’s surprising?”
“You’re a maid!”
That’s right.
It was a maid.
I told Ian about it because I was literally amazed at the sight of her with her hair beautifully braided and neatly dressed in white and black clothes while she was cleaning.
“… Well, it was a little different from what I thought…”
“In what part?”
“Oh, the clothes…” .”
“Hmm. “I guess I know.”
“…”
I became like a mute on honey.
Ugh. I couldn’t say anything.
That was the problem.
The clothes are so neat.
Of course, as long as that was all there was no problem at all.
Actually, if you think about it, it’s common sense that you should be neat and tidy since you’re working.
“My face turned red. Eve.”
“… “Don’t make fun of me.”
“Now you know why I was so freaked out, right?”
“Ugh…”
Not only Lily, but all the maids in the mansion did that.
It was far from what I had thought, but when I think about it again, I was wearing clothes that I should wear to work.
In the maid uniform that I made myself,
I was finally able to understand why my master was so freaked out…
“It’s short and tight both above and below.”
“Huh.”
“The entire upper breast is exposed, and the thighs are even fastened with a garter belt.”
“Oh, Mo, your voice is so loud, Ian…” !”
“On the neck, what, a rattle? So you say you like leashes?”
“Well, I was wrong… ?”
“Whoa…”
Ian spoke as if he was letting out all the anger that had been building up,
My eyes became a little dangerous and I looked all over my body.
I felt like I was going to get burned by that gaze,
Hey, I covered myself while screaming desperately.
“My eyes are so naive that I wear clothes like that. I really feel like I don’t know anything, so why bother touching it? Huh?”
“I did it wrong, I did it… ?”
“Do you have any idea of what I was enduring?”
“I don’t know…”
When I put out my flippers,
Ian just sighed as if he was shocked and then sighed as if he was dumbfounded…
