Chapter 29. My Future In-Laws Are Troublesome and Strange

Iris thought blankly.

Why did it turn out like this?

“What a disgrace to this family.”

Why is it me instead of Lillian… why did I, who was the flower of this family, become a disgrace?

Iris was kneeling in Duke Tillard’s Study.

Across from her sat her furious grandfather, with family members standing on both sides.

“How dare you impersonate the Saint? Ruining Lillian’s day of becoming Saint with such appearance!”

“Li, Lillian is not the true Saint, Grandfather!”

Iris cried out in frustration.

“It’s me. I’m the real one. Please just wait a little and the Creator God will give a revelation-!”

“In this situation, are those truly the only words that come from your mouth!”

“Kyaa!”

Iris jumped back in surprise, shrinking her shoulders.

Grandfather had thrown his cane to the floor.

He often threw paperweights at Kuern, but this was the first time such a thing happened in front of Iris.

However, Duke Tillard now had not even a speck of intention to make an exception for Iris.

“You’ve been banned from the Temple. And that’s throughout the entire Empire!”

“Ugh…!”

“Do you truly not know what that means!”

All citizens of the Empire firmly believed in the Creator God.

But being expelled from God’s house meant being lower than even the ‘incompetent’.

“Even Lillian never received such treatment! Even in those days!”

“Ho, how can you say such things…!”

“Those who will no longer continue business with this family are increasing at this very moment. All because of you!”

“…!”

“Support requests have hit rock bottom! There are none at all!”

Iris hiccupped involuntarily.

‘That can’t be…!’

Iris hurriedly looked around.

Kuern, Grandfather’s retainers, advisors and maids…

‘Please, someone help me!’

Iris had been the treasure of this family.

‘Miss, you are truly the flower of the Tillard Family.’

‘What would happen to this family’s artifact business without Miss?’

‘Actually, Miss Iris should have been the direct heir- Ahem! Please pretend you didn’t hear that.’

Just a few months ago, everyone was so kind.

But why. Why is everyone looking at me like that, as if I’m something they can’t bear to see.

“I, I am… still.”

Iris trembled.

“I’m the destined partner of the 2nd Prince. So, I mean, I’ll become the Princess-!”

“Tch! Do you think that Robellia would readily accept you as her daughter-in-law!”

Bang!

The Duke struck the desk with his fist out of shame and anger.

It had already been several days since the 100% compatibility was revealed.

Yet the Imperial Court made no announcement whatsoever.

While the media praised Lillian daily, they didn’t even mention Kail and Iris’s story.

In other words, the ‘groom’s’ side was so reluctant about this union that they were keeping their mouths shut as much as possible.

As a result, only the Tillard Family became more and more miserable.

Because they had judged that since they had Iris, they could let Lillian go anytime.

…Iris could clearly see what her grandfather was thinking.

“Still… I, I’m an S-rank Controller. The artifacts I made are still-“

But then the person in charge of helping run ‘Iris Floren’ bowed his head.

“I’m sorry to report this in such a situation… Miss, you should consider closing Iris Floren…”

“What, did you say? Our sales were still fine!”

“…If you go see the shop in person once, you’ll understand.”

Iris staggered as she stood up.

She stood without permission, but no one stopped Iris.

From behind her, she only heard her grandfather’s shouts as he sighed and swept the books off his desk.

“For this family to lose the Saint! My granddaughter, Elric Tillard’s…!”

Iris hurriedly ran out.

But while running down the corridor.

“Ra, Ramio.”

“…”

“Why… Why are you already out of your room?”

Her younger brother, whose arms and one leg were damaged, was limping around.

Ramio stared at Iris like a ghost.

And before returning to his room again.

“…Trash.”

He whispered barely audibly and disappeared.

No.

No.

It’s not my fault…

But when she arrived in front of ‘Iris Floren’, once praised as the most beautiful shop.

“Ahhh…”

Iris covered her mouth with her hands in shock.

The walls were covered with graffiti in red paint.

‘Shop of the Saint impersonator!’

‘Be punished by heaven’

‘Disgusting and rotten’

Meanwhile, the nearby ‘Mariposa’ was truly bustling with customers.

People in line were shouting.

“Hey, keep the line! I’ve been waiting since dawn today!”

“The confetti made by the Saint! Don’t you sell that!?”

No further explanation from staff was needed.

Iris entered through the rear entrance of the shop covered in graffiti in a dazed state.

Dust had already accumulated inside the shop.

Iris sat down on the floor, clasped her hands together and prayed earnestly.

“Creator God, I will not lose…! I will never give up…!”

Then Caspian Bolivar and the Oracle appeared together.

“If only I could meet Sir Caspian again.”

Wouldn’t there be a chance to hear God’s words?

But then, a chilling laugh came from behind her.

“…My goodness, what Markus said was right? He said Iris’s sibling was looking for him.”

“…!”

“Why do you want to meet Sir Caspian? ‘Original’ Saint.”

Iris hurriedly turned around.

And seeing a familiar face after a long time, her mouth fell open.

“You are…!”

* * *

An official document came down from the Imperial Palace addressed to Lillian and the Villain.

…Acknowledging the merit of the Crown Prince and Saint’s heretical inspection, they were given the right to interrogate first, but there was an oversight in allowing the captured heretic to use black magic…

The Crown Prince and Saint shall attend the Imperial Palace meeting to clarify the circumstances.

It was written at length, but it basically meant they should be punished for cutting in line and then ruining valuable evidence.

I knew this would happen.

‘I knew they wouldn’t just let it slide after seeing Caspian’s condition.’

Who? The Second Prince’s side.

There’s no way they’d stay quiet when black liquid was flowing from the body of someone they barely managed to catch.

‘I didn’t think everything would just be resolved by sending the guards outside.’

So Lillian attended the Imperial Palace meeting together with the Villain.

He kept supporting her until she sat down in the meeting room, which made her feel slightly sorry.

“Ren, you don’t have to hold me up this much…”

“You came right after your fever broke, so of course I need to be careful.”

“Rather, are you okay on your side, Ren?”

“Hm?”

Lillian placed her hand on the Villain’s cheek. The Villain flinched at Lillian’s touch.

‘He must still be in pain. Looking at how his face is turning red.’

Why won’t his fever go down? And he’s supposed to have an S-rank body?

Lillian found it strange that the ‘Ability of Annihilation’ was picky, but this man’s recovery speed was equally bizarre.

‘Is it because of the black magic after all?’

Moreover, he had taken the hit in her place while protecting her, so she couldn’t help but worry more.

Just what kind of nightmare about Lillian had he been having?

However.

“What disgraceful behavior in a meeting.”

…At the Original Male Lead’s irritated voice, Lillian let out a sigh.

The Villain showed no irritation or anything else.

“He must be quite upset that guy died, so he called us here. I guess they were close after all.”

“That was the adverse effect of brainwashing, as the Saint revealed.”

Oh, how shameless.

But acting foolishly to check compatibility couldn’t be entirely blamed on brainwashing, could it?

Kail spoke to the nobles.

“What we will address today is the Crown Prince’s interrogation. Even though there was merit in the capture, the fact remains that the witness died due to careless interrogation.”

Lillian laughed inwardly.

‘This time he’s being smart.’

If he attacked the Saint, it was obvious he’d end up fighting the Temple.

That would become troublesome, so he was saying he’d just go after his older brother.

“It is only right that the Crown Prince’s side take responsibility for this.

Baltazar’s people became angry.

Then Lillian rose from her seat.

“Your Highness. The interrogation is becoming a problem because there were no results, is that it?”

“Saint. You seem to think you have speaking rights every time.”

“Oh my, of course I do.”

Lillian smiled brightly.

“And as for results, there are more than enough.”

Let’s not forget.

Life in Perniers is rough and harsh. Just as much as my previous life as a self-employed person.

Here, recording audio and video is just…

Such obvious wisdom for living.

And Lillian had been armed with such weapons when she met Caspian, and now she had perfectly edited them as well.
