Chapter 482 – #101_Housewarming(8)
#481
One.
The new year has dawned.
Lucy Yesod was hanging out in front of Diana’s bedroom door with a worried look on her face.
“Diana.”
“…….”
After the Harvest Festival, Diana’s condition was strange.
She is lazy by nature, so if Lucy doesn’t beg her, she’s a lovely daughter.
At least she had hoped that she would become a little more lively by taking Shin Si-woo as her tutor, but as soon as he stopped walking, she immediately dug into her room.
When she listened to her visit, she was often heard sobbing and murmurs of curses that she could not quite understand.
At first, she thought that Siu’s absence was the problem, so she tried to arrange a meeting with her, but on the contrary, only an angry reaction was returned.
Lucy is thrilled with her daughter as she enters her late adolescence.
In Gehenna, even though she was the High Witch of repute and Countess Yesod, the undisputed businessman in her mortal life, she was nothing more than her clumsy daughter in front of Lucy.
“Are you going to stay in your room today? You must have participated in charity events.”
“…….”
Just like Count Zemonai, Count Yesod visits Border Town for charitable activities on New Year’s Eve.
As good as that intention was, she was always with the Count, even the lazy Diana.
However, this year, for unknown reasons, she stayed in her room, and the count sought her daughter for a final persuasion.
The Count took a small sigh before the long silence and spoke.
“Yes, if you want to rest, you should rest. I’ll go mom I hope my daughter can recover quickly.”
When the count turned his back like that.
The door opened quietly with a click.
Across from him stood Diana, with a very melancholy expression on her face, her tousled hair.
“Diana….”
“Mom, I have something to tell you.”
2.
About 15 minutes passed.
Count Yesod covered his blushing face with both hands.
It is revealed that her daughter, Diana, was aware of Siu’s embarrassing relationship with Count Ye Sod, as well as Io and her secret hobby of writing.
No matter how much she loved her daughter, no, she was her beloved daughter, so the exposure of such secrets made Lucy feel embarrassed that she couldn’t handle it.
Even the failure of pampering Diana and isolating her from her sexual knowledge is a matter of insignificance in the face of her blushing shame.
“…….”
Yes, the time when Count Sword could not bear to open his mouth and hung his head.
Diana got up from her knees and wrapped her mother in a warm embrace.
She wondered if her troubles would trample on her mother’s pride.
No matter how much there is a parent-child relationship, there are things that are difficult to talk about.
But she couldn’t stand it any longer.
She cares about Diana, who is depressed and confined to her room to become a mother to her, who has been deeply hurt by Shin Si-woo even though she pretends to be okay.
It would be better if she didn’t know anything, but she couldn’t bear to see her mother suffer even more because of herself.
Even if this is a bit of a shock, she decided to tell her honest truth and comfort her mother.
“Mom did nothing wrong. The only bad thing is Shin Si-woo, that horny witch.”
“…….”
“I’m sorry she didn’t listen to her mother until now and pretended not to know. Wasn’t she having a hard time?”
“…….”
“I love my mom no matter who she is.”
In the end, Diana hugs Lucy with her eyes shining like vermillion topaz, full of water.
She misunderstood that her mother’s silent expression, with her head hanging silently, was due to old sorrows or being moved.
Of course, there were impressions.
However, Count Yesod merely bowed his head in a far more fatal embarrassment.
Furthermore, there are several facts that Diana is misunderstood.
“My daughter…. Thank you.”
“What, of course I have to do this much.”
“By the way…. There is a slightly different problem from the truth.”
“Yes… Yes?”
Diana tilted her head as if embarrassed.
The picture of her that she imagined was a picture of her affectionate daughter comforting her mother who was unable to openly share her pain.
But there were certainly traces of gratitude on her face as her mother lifted her head, but there was a flush of shame far greater than that.
“Priority…. My relationship with Siu… I decided to keep….”
“Yes?! No! Yeah? No, don’t you have any pride?”
It was a truly shocking statement.
At the same time, it was a remark that deeply angered her mother.
Shin Si-woo refused the Harvest Festival date course that Diana had prepared.
Even if you already have a lover, you’re picking up ridiculous excuses.
There is no way that such a lousy man would ever propose a relationship to his mother again, and if so, it must be her mother who caught him.
“No… ! I don’t think even Mom knew what kind of trash he was! But she decides to keep seeing it again?”
“Diana…. Her mom knew she had a lover in the first place. She didn’t hide him either.”
“Eh… !”
Was it an affair in the first place?
This was something Diana could never have imagined.
No matter how much her mother was the author of sensual novels, she could not have imagined that she would follow the path of sensual novels that matched eyes with a man with a lover.
“I didn’t know that Duke Tiphareth would be included among those lovers, but….”
Even one of those lovers is Duke Tiphareth.
Diana did not know how to react to her confession, which had contents beyond her imagination.
It’s just her mouth opening with her complicated eyes.
“Still, isn’t it great that we can continue to meet?”
The most absurd thing was that even in the midst of this, a strange color was circulating on her mother’s face.
That was the most absurd thing, and Diana frowned at her.
She sensed that she was blunt when dealing with Diana, but she did not know that she would be called an idiot when it comes to relationships with men and women.
Isn’t she a pathetic woman who is completely fascinated by her pillar West and brings home documents to her?
She was contemplating who to be angry with, and whether she should harshly admonish her mother in this spot.
Her Diana’s remarks were heard that made her troubles disappear completely.
“Siwoo might suggest a new methodology for inheriting the stigma. She can live with Diana and her mother forever.”
“Yes… ?”
It was a ray of light about Diana’s long-held, unresolved concern.
3.
A charity event that started at dawn as soon as the New Year’s day dawned.
Caravans belonging to various witch families lined up in a row on the white rocky square, and were loaded with warm clothes and blankets to distribute to citizens, baskets of preserved food to fill the table throughout the winter, and children’s toys.
The children in line to receive the doll, the woman in a head scarf and an apron, and the young man returning home carrying a load of firewood are all smiling lively.
They chatted while drinking black tea from a large tea pot, and in one corner of the plaza, a temporary performance hall was set up, where bands played musical instruments.
It will also be a good thing.
Siwoo participating in a charity event.
Siu, who had just been carrying his luggage, came out to a quiet place to smoke a cigarette.
Amelia is away for a while to extract spices, and the Counts of Gemanai go from house to house, hand-carrying baskets of food for the elderly who have difficulty moving.
The twins were working hard in the carriage to rehearse for the upcoming performance.
These days, it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been alone like this because I’ve always been with someone.
Thanks to that, I was able to lean my back against the wall of the alleyway with a relaxed mind, light a cigarette, and catch a glimpse of the noisy liveliness.
In fact, unlike Border Town, where most are slaves or smugglers, the citizens of Taro Town are guaranteed a fairly high standard of living.
No one dies of starvation, no beggars sitting on the street begging, no one dying of sickness.
As long as there are witches, there is no fear of crimes big or small.
As a slave, Siu cast a compassionate eye on the citizens.
He felt a sense of kinship with the fate of being deprived of his freedom for serving the witch and confined to Gehenna for hundreds of years.
However, when I looked at the aspects where not a single worry came to my mind, I even thought that those worries were for nothing.
They were enjoying their own simple happiness in their own position.
Although science and technology lag far behind the present world, it is impossible to enjoy the benefits of civilization….
At least, it cannot be denied that their expressions look brighter than those who are busily walking in the middle of a bustling city.
Then, suddenly, someone’s voice came from the side.
“Excuse me.”
Probably for a charity event.
Dress modestly, but look comfortable for activities.
An apprentice witch is seen wearing boots and a cape covering her shoulders.
She was Diana Yesod, who once had a complicated relationship with Siu in many ways, with pale silver hair and beautiful scarlet eyes.
“100 million!”
On the eve of her harvest, she hadn’t met her since she was struck down by Diana’s ten-thousanders.
Therefore, the runaway she saw that day was still deeply ingrained in her mind.
However, it is different from the expectation that sharp shouting will fly straight away along with fierce selling.
Diana lingered, patting the frozen ground with the tips of her boots.
“Oh, long time no see.”
“Yes… Yes?”
“Are you okay? That… Recently injured….”
“Ah yes. Now I’m brisk.”
We were exchanging awkward regards in an awkward atmosphere.
Diana bowed her head suddenly.
She was a quick change of attitude and apology, just like when she suddenly became angry the other day.
“I’m sorry for the random misunderstanding… !”
Until now, Diana had cursed Siwoo for his atrocities, which were no different from those of a beast.
So when she heard that he was involved in the commotion in Taro Town, she didn’t mind.
No matter how much he saved Diana from danger, his atrocities in playing with her mother and abandoning her were unforgivable.
However, through a conversation with her mother this morning, I learned all about the truth and misunderstanding.
The fact that the two had a casual relationship in the first place.
Moreover, it was her mother who first flirted with Si-woo, who had a lover.
A belated realization that Diana was distraught over her delay in succession and that she had placed excessive expectations on Siu on her own.
Finally, even though he doesn’t know how, he may hold the key to solving Diana’s long-standing worries.
Diana’s tyranny must have been a blow to him.
No matter how Diana is, she can’t help but bow her head and enter.
If his judgment is twisted, it’s a new method and something could disappear.
“I…. I know the whole truth.”
“Ah….”
“It’s also about the relationship and succession between your mother and Mr. Siu.”
“Uh….”
With that one word, Siwoo came to mind.
Copy of lost magic power.
Count Yesod tried to study the succession of his ancestors by using the radiation action of the stigma that occurs when he and Siwoo cum inside each other.
But nothing happened yesterday with Amelia and Sex.
He was about to have a conversation with Count Yesod about this.
“By any chance, where is your mother now?”
“Yes?”
“It is an important matter…. Can I talk to the Count for a minute?”
Siu accepted Diana’s apology and asked Count Yesod for guidance.
