Chapter 276: Those Who Have Limits Are Bound to Reveal the Rock-bottom (2)

My options were limited.

Fortunately, among the misfortunes, Marlin Young-ae recovered her body somehow, but she still had to rest.

In fact, the expression "fortunate among misfortunes" also did not fit well with the current situation.

Duchess Catherine was busy shaking in anger, and Countess Elise was also wearing a blank expression, as if the shock had not dissipated yet.

I also had a bitter taste in my mouth.

I hadn't been paying much attention to Marlin Young-ae, but it wasn't a good feeling to see her hurt as we often met each other.

Even in this situation, the thought still in my head was how to solve this problem.

'What can you solve? Fuck...'

This was a problem with no answer.

In the first place, she was one of the members who were deciding about entering Charlia's camp, and they would prove to be an indispensable force.

They were the real deal. They were on the border with the Republic, the central force of the Eastern aristocracy, and had powerful military power.

They were different from the old men who were just trying to reap benefits from Charlia.

She was not only rude to such a customer, but poured hot water on her, so there was no way to find a resolution.

On the surface, they might have bad feelings for me, who urged them to soak in Charlia's camp.

It would make no sense to reconcile them.

I, too, had to choose between Charlia and Duchess Catherine.

Marlin Young-ae, who was asleep, was still holding my hand tight.

It was then that Duchess Catherine's heavy mouth opened.

At first, it seems like she was saying words of consolation to me after reading my apologetic face.

"There is no need for Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung to be sorry."

"I'm really sorry."

"No. You haven't done anything wrong. Even if I were the Honorary Bishop, I wouldn't have expected this to happen."

"I'm deeply ashamed."

"No. Really. But..."

"Yes."

"I understand what Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung is thinking and in what direction you are trying to move, but I think it'll be difficult for us to be together in that direction."

'Damn...'

This was an obvious result.

If they said they would be with us despite this situation, I would call them saints, not nobles.

"I know you've been caring about us, you've made room for us, and you've helped us in many ways, but..."

"I can understand. Duchess Catherine, Count Elise."

"Of course, considering Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung, we will not join the forces of the Second Princess. But..."

There was no way to end this situation just by not participating in the forces of the Second Princess. I knew their anger would not be relieved so easily.

It didn't matter if she was a member of the imperial family. There was indeed a limit.

If today's affairs spread to the aristocratic society right now, Charlia would surely be attacked. Even the filthy old men on her side would probably run away from her.
