Chapter 117

Meanwhile, Brisa was being guided by a maid from the Marquis Manor to the annex.

“The Former Marquis has an allergy to dog fur. Please understand that we’re having you stay in a place a bit far from the main building.”

“It’s fine. It’s cozy and nice.”

The guest room in the annex wasn’t large. Moreover, due to poor financial conditions, the furniture also looked quite old.

The maid pointed to a large, fluffy cushion under Brisa’s bed and said.

“Here, we’ve prepared a sleeping place for that… wolf-dog.”

The cushion was quite large, sufficient even for Leopold who had grown considerably in size.

However, Leopold did his best to push the cushion away from Brisa’s bed with his front paws.

Sleeping in the same room as a noble young lady was something truly unacceptable by his standards, but at some point when he came to his senses, this was how things had turned out.

So gathering what little dignity remained, sleeping as far away as possible was his best option.

But this room was too small for a noble’s quarters, so he couldn’t even get sufficiently far away.

Leopold, who originally slept with Brisa at opposite ends of the room, became troubled.

Of course, no one noticed his distress.

“We’ve already prepared bath water as well.”

“Then please take care of the wolf-dog first. May I go out briefly to meet Langsi and Alpheus?”

“Of course. I’ll assign a maid to guide you.”

Brisa gave the wolf-dog a pat before leaving the room.

Leopold, who had been running for days and had even wandered through the forest, welcomed the bath.

After washing clean and lying down on the cushion, thoughts came flooding in.

‘About my identity… I should tell her now…’

For reasons unknown, Delmia had returned to normal.

But why hadn’t he returned to normal?

When Brisa looked into his eyes and made her request, his reason returned, so why did the transformation continue?

He felt he should first discuss this phenomenon with Hilberry and probably confess to Brisa.

‘Ah.’

But just imagining it was too horrifying.

“I’ll formally apologize, Leopold. Please forgive me for judging you based on appearance alone and subjecting you to sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and even castration threats?”

“I’ll forgive everything, so could you grant me one request? You don’t need to use the expression ‘shameful death’ on my tombstone, but please don’t carve lies like ‘resting in peace’ either.”

“Here… lies… Leopold, resting uncomfortably in this land…”

It seemed he needed a bit more mental preparation.

Whether it was because it was too painful to think about any further.

Or because fatigue had accumulated from running to the Southern Region for so long.

His eyes closed on their own even though Brisa hadn’t returned yet.

“I’m not sure about the Western Region. It’s a place skilled in political maneuvering with no weaknesses.”

Maximus’s words echoed in Leopold’s ears as he fell asleep.

Maximus was mistaken.

The Western Region was where the curse first manifested. It had started with his father.

That was probably… because his father had refused marriage with the Imperial Family and married his mother instead.

‘Then the person who started the curse… wouldn’t be the Crown Prince but someone from an earlier generation.’

How much would Hilberry suffer if he learned this fact?

He would shed tears of blood while cursing the Imperial Family.

At the same time, he might inevitably regret that if he had just listened to Valerie’s advice and simply arranged a connection with the Imperial Princess, he wouldn’t have lost his son.

Baron Forman, his maternal grandfather, might also beat the ground in regret for marrying off his daughter for nothing once he learned the whole truth.

His jet-black hair resembled his mother’s, and his golden eyes resembled his father’s, they said.

If perhaps he himself was the tragic remnant born of a wrong union.

He fell asleep while unconsciously letting out a groan.
