Transmigrated as the terminally ill villainess

Chapter 60: (Vasilius backstory)

I woke up and looked around in confusion.

My room..? Why am I here?

I am sitting on the sofa in my room with an open book on my lap.

I looked at the big clock at the end of the room, showing 7 in the morning.

... What happened? Did I fall asleep while reading a book?

I read the title of a book that I've never seen.

"The truth of holy light..? Religious book? Thi- cough..."

My throat hurts so much... How long did I sleep?

I got up, put the book on the table, and rushed out.

This is strange. I don't remember reading that book last night... And the content of the book is not something I usually read. I don't even believe in God.

After opening the door, I thought guards and maids were wandering around in the morning as usual, but the hallway was strangely quiet.

... I have a bad feeling.

I walked slowly towards the dining room, still trying to remember what happened last night.

On my way, my feet stopped when I saw the servants standing silently in front of mommy's room.

"I DON'T CARE! YOU'RE ALL EVIL! THIS IS ALL YOUR SCHEME! BRING MOMMY BACK!" Lania's scream made my heart race.

What's this...?

Feeling anxious, I ran and pushed through the crowd of maids to enter the room.

Fuck... what the hell is this...

My eyes were glued to a rope wrapped around the lamp and Mom's neck. Mom's limp body hung in the middle of the room in a white dress and a pale face.

Lania was detained by a servant, while Dad stared at Mommy blankly while being held by 2 guards on his shoulders.

I approached while shaking all over my body. "What are you doing..?"

I looked at the servants who were silent in place. They looked at me in surprise as if they had seen a ghost. "What are you doing standing around like idiots? Are you crazy?! GET MY MOM DOWN RIGHT NOW! CALL THE DOCTOR!" I ordered in a loud and hoarse voice, ignoring my sore throat.

"Young Duke... The Duchess is beyond help. Right now, we should wait until the detectives arrive so that this incident can be resolved without any problems." Said the butler, who came forward to face me.

FUCK! You're the one who's beyond help watching a person hanging like that you piece of shit!

"Are you disobeying my orders?! To hell with detectives! It's their job to uncover this incident. Your job is to obey the orders given by your masters. Are you crazy to leave the Duchess you serve hanging like that?! And all of you!" I pointed at everyone with visible anger. "You should listen to and carry out the orders of my Dad or I, who now second in command after him, not listen to the butler's orders! Who the fuck is your master here?!"
My harsh words caused the butler startled, then he ordered the servants to move with some hesitation.

I saw Lania struggling in the Knight's arms with tears streaming down her face. Meanwhile, my Dad was stunned with a blank gaze directed at Mom.

Ha... This is driving me crazy...

The servants laid my mom on the bed, making sure her position looked comfortable.

I went over and sat on the chair next to the bed.

Mommy hanged herself..? Impossible, right? Someone as cheerful as Mommy couldn't possibly hang herself...

Is she depressed? Why tho? She looks cheerful every day, even when we last met...
