I also know that the childs father is not Viscount Seal.


    As soon as she heard those words, Viscountess ils world seemed to turn. The real vi didntugh, though she was smiling in the head of Viscountess il. She also had a very mischievous smile.


    You have to be calm.


    She hid her trembling hands and smiled lightly.


    I used to be clumsy like this. My husband even thinks its lovely.


    It was as if dropping the fork was nothing.


    The Viscountess wiped her lips with the napkin and opened her mouth again.


    I wondered why Princess Vi wanted a private meeting with me. Was it possible that the reason was so immature?


    In ils mind, Vi was just Veratouxs Iron-Blood Princess.


    A cold-blooded and cruel princess of Veratoux, whose blood was made of iron. She was only twelve years old, and she was an undisputed genius who earned the name of Iron-Blood, and was a girl who was more Veratoux than anyone else.


    You must never let your weakness get caught.


    Then, her life would be difficult


    She may live her whole life in fear.


    Princess Vi is making a very big mistake with me now. Are you going to tarnish my honor?


    She had to push harder. For Viscount il now, her best defense was an attack.


    Im going to make the issue public.


    Really?


    Yes. This is more than insulting me, its an act of mocking Viscounty Seal.


    Vi pretended to be rxed and sliced the steak.


    She had been through a lot of this before. Dealing with her father, who was the King of this world, Viscountess il was rtively easy.


    I have a great dog.


    Dog?


    The world calls that dog apanion sword.


    Ah.


    Companion sword.


    It was a name Viscountess il knew.


    Isnt that the boy that the Iron-Blood Princess took over five years ago and is raising as a servant, and is known as Sir Hicksons only disciple?


    Thats right. Though why would I make a human a dog?


    Is that rted to the topic now? Im talking about the princess who insulted and ridiculed Viscounty and me.


    Its because he has a great sense of smell.


    She actually found out yesterday that he had that ability, but thanks to him she made this excuse possible.


    Its probably the first time youve heard of it. Its been a thorough secret.


    Im not interested in Princess Vis secret. I dont want to know. Rather, I ask for an exnation for insulting me.


    Vi shrugged her shoulders. Her appearance was very rxed. On the other hand, Viscount il felt something ominous in thatid-back look.


    Does she really know something?


    Desperately pretending to be rxed, her inner heart was burning. She had no idea that a twelve-year-old girl could have that level of freedom and pressure. Viscountess il thought the rumors about Vi Veratoux were somewhat exaggerated, though not at all.


    My dog can smell people. There is special magic with different smells in humans.


    Vi chuckled.


    However, he said that Viscountesss body smelled of two people. I knew that she had conceived a child.


    .


    The Viscountess nodded her head.


    She decided to admit she was pregnant because she decided it didnt make sense to hide it anymore.


    Its true that Im pregnant. If thats the case, shouldnt it be right that the princess should have congratted me rather than insulted me?


    But, interestingly enough, he said it smells like someone elses?


    This was a lie.


    She knew this because she was Han Ah Rin, who had read the novel.


    Why does the child in the womb have the smell of another man?


    Do not mess up my mind with baseless nder.


    The Viscountess stood up from her seat as if she had nothing more to hear.


    Our enjoyable meal will end here. I think we will see you next time at an unpleasant ce and with an unsatisfied face.


    Why does he feel a gentle magic from it?


    The Viscountesss body, who had been walking back, stood still.


    The babys father must have had abundant magic. But, it doesnt seem like the magic of a warrior. It would not have been of a lower status. Shall we stop at this point?


    .


    Did hee down from the high mountain? He must have whispered about love with sweet and tender words.


    Vi knew the name.


    The second son of the Louisbarten family, Cervon Louisbarten From Mount Para, known for its ruggedness. The second son of the Louisbarten family located in Mount Para was her affair partner.


    Viscountess il almost copsed because her legs lost strength.


    You know it all.


    What happened that night was a mistake. That night, the fireworks were beautiful, the moon in the sky was beautiful, and the smiles of the people were good. The wine was really sweet that day and the night breeze blew pleasantly.


    I What should I say?


    Her brain turned white.


    Vis voice was heard.


    It must have been a mistake.


    She recited it as she sees it in the novel.


    That night the fireworks must have been pretty. The moonlight must have been exceptionally blue.


    Stop.


    It must have been nice to see people smiling.


    Please stop it


    The wine is especially sweet that day, and the night breeze blowing by the river


    Stop!


    The Viscountess covered her face.


    She knows everything. She really knows everything.


    The Iron-Blood Princess knew everything


    Knowing everything, she came here to grab and shake her weakness. She had the blood of the devil and the tongue of a viper.


    Her hands and feet were trembling.


    What the hell do you want from me? Why do youe and threaten me? What kind of grudge do you have between you and me?


    She then sat down in her seat and began to sob.


    It was a mistake that day.


    It was a mistake, she thought, and she didnt get caught by anyone. She returned to her daily routine and maintained her original position. While she vowed that she would never do the same again, Viscountess il swore she wouldnt act foolishly, and she reflected.


    Even if its a mistake, it doesnt change that its wrong. Viscount Seal was worthy of respect. He was honorable and upright.


    .


    The Viscountess also admitted it.


    She was born into a fallen aristocratic family and grew up to this extent. Even though she did not be a high-ranking aristocrat due to her birth limitations, Viscount Seal was one of the aristocrats with a solid foundation.


    Viscount Seal was wonderful as a man and also affectionate as her husband.


    I have only you, wife.


    I love you with all my heart.


    He always confessed his love to her with in words without any rhetoric.


    He always stood firm by her side like a beautiful tree.


    The Viscount was always reliable and strong


    However, on the other hand, he was a little bit boring. So, that night, she was enchanted by an interesting person without realizing it.


    Tonight, I want to toast to Madams eyes.


    Forget everything and enjoy watching the stars with me.


    Vi looked at the Viscountess with a desperate expression on her face.


    The seeds were sown. Now, it was time to harvest.


    I have no intention of threatening you.


    Lies.


    I swear by the name of Veratoux.


    The Viscountess, sobbing at those words, raised her head and nced at Vi.


    Are you swearing on Veratouxs name?


    Its forbidden. To swear an oath in Veratouxs name is only permitted to the head.


    Vi shrugged her shoulders.


    So, if the Viscountess opens her mouth, Ill be cut off from the nomination for session at once. A frivolous mouth doesnt qualify as a sessor.


    .


    We now have each others weaknesses. Can you believe me now? Im sure the Viscountess will know better how important the position of Veratouxs sessor is to me.


    Of course, it was a lie.


    She was not at all interested in the position of Veratouxs sessor.


    The sessor was Medea, Vi had already decided that in her mind. Though to il, Vis words came to her quite convincingly.


    If its not a threat, whats the situation?


    I want to be friends with Viscountess.


    Friends?


    That child in the womb has the talent to be a wizard. Its a tremendous talent.


    That child was the one who would be the Great Warlock. He was also one of the main characters who tormented Veratoux and Vi at the end of the novel.


    She didnt want such a viin to be born.


    I need power. So, this is an investment for me.


    Investment?


    Viscountess il felt more at ease.


    Rather, this was much more relieving. The word investment for the future touched her more than the abstract word friend.


    Princess Vi is an iron-blooded princess who will do anything for her purpose.


    So, she seemed to be talking like this now.


    Adopted daughter who cannot get help from her maternal family. While her abilities were outstanding on her own, she was at ease when she understood that the adopted daughter, whocked external powers, was in the process of expanding her powers.


    To be precise, I want to invest in the child in your womb. It would be great if it could help me when they grow up.


    Vi stared at the Viscountess for a long moment before she opened her mouth.


    Viscount Seal is a smart man.


    Yes.


    Does the Madam think so, too?


    I think so.


    Then, does he really know nothing?


    In an instant, the Viscountess body shuddered again. Her heart felt like it was pounding goong!


    I know. He truly loves the Viscountess.


    .


    Would such a person think of marching for the sake of his childrens and familys honor even though he knew he was going to die? Leaving the one he loved the most in the world on the estate? Knowing how sad his wife would be?


    For the reader, Han Arin, that was the part she felt sorry for.


    The Viscount had his own circumstances.


    He was a noble who values honor, though he was not a man to decide to die over her beloved wife. Had he not known about his wifes affair, he might not have chosen death


    In other words, the Viscountess affair caused the Viscount tomit suicide.


    If I hadnte as a special envoy, the Viscount would have gone to war against Veratoux. And, perhaps by now the Viscount is not of this world.


    .


    Because in my opinion, he doesnt seem like the person who would choose his death, leaving only his wife.


    Vi got up from her seat.


    The choice is yours, Viscountess. Im a member of Veratoux. As a white Veratoux, I look at everything from an observers point of view.


    Saying so, she walked towards the door.


    Your own fault can only be corrected by yourself. And, a nobleman is responsible for correcting their own faults.


    Finally, she added a word.


    I feel that Viscount Seal will forgive the Viscountess even if you have done something worse than an affair, because he loves you so much.


    And so, she closed the door and left.


    A day has passed since then, around 12:30 in the morning.


    Knock, knock.


    A knock was heard.


    Princess Vi. Can we talk for a moment?


    Of course, it wasnt a typical visit. There was no official notice, and there was no talk beforehand. Besides, the time was 12:30.


    In general, it was a time when we did not meet.


    Viscount Seal?


    When she opened the door, she saw Viscount Seal with an emaciated face. In his right hand was a longsword.


    Though it was a little strange


    Blood was dripping from the sword.
