The second son’s news was over. Next. “Derrick, he is..?”

“He didn’t come home yesterday either.”

The butler hesitated to reveal the truth due to his owner’s heavier voice than before. “The report said he was in a village near the capital.”

“Why there?”

“I received a report that he witnessed lady Penelope”

“You crazy bastard!” Gwang-!

As soon as the butler’s words were over, the duke distorted his face, and violently punched the desk. “There’s a nonstop mountain of work, but he still in the middle of it!”

He’d rather chose Renald who was drinking or playing around.

The Young Duke of the Eckart house, who had never lost his coolness and reason, had changed strangely at some point.

The glaring eyes grew more and more quaint, and since Penelope’s disappearance, he had completely changed and gone mad.

He couldn’t control the guy who had to go out to find her on one day, throwing away all the work he had to do.

“Huuu”

The Duke breathed a deep sigh with a throbbing head at the constant news about Derrick. After Penelope left the mansion, the house’s in a mess.

“What is that child doing?”

In a few minutes, the Duke’s face became 10 years older when he asked the other one.

“She’s still in a desolate state, but I think she’s deeply distressed because the maid you just assigned didn’t take care of her properly.”

Being in the most ambiguous position in the mansion, the butler vaguely omitted the subject. “Huuu”

The Duke breathed out another deep sigh. Yvonne, who had a bruise on her stomach that was black and blue marks, has been sick for several days without eating properly.

The head maid, who said she was beaten together because she couldn’t witness the assault in person, ran wild.

But another witness who was there, Emily, claimed to be the culprit went missing from prison the next day. The case was buried because all the suspects had disappeared. All that was left were rumors that she was a “fake lady” who ran away from home after beating a real lady.

In addition, while paying attention to Penelope, which took place recently, another thing has become completely neglected. Then the butler informs again which reminds the duke of Yvonne’s crying face, say that she missed the duke, weighed heavily on his chest.

“But she’s feeling much better, and she said she had a good breakfast today.” “I have to go.”

The Duke got up from his seat with a moan and a groaning sound. The butler looked with astonishment. “Do you mean it?”

“I can’t ask a sick child to come.”

The Duke had never visited the room in person since Yvonne returned to the mansion. Furthermore, all the attention was paid to Penelope’s recent series of incidents, and she was completely neglected.

Yvonne’s half-hearted face, which she had been crying for a long time, weighed heavily on his chest.

Soon after the Butler’s instructions, the duke reached Yvonne’s room, which he had set up on the first floor of the mansion. Which is room for guest.

When he realized it, her soft voice touched his ears.

-I… Can I take a look at my room? I’m still wondering if it’s still the same…
