ALL NOVEL chapter 50
50 – Regret (2)
“Really. Do you deserve it?”
Stella’s cold voice.
The already cold atmosphere in the health room has changed to a colder one.
“Are you… A maid?”
At first Count Kindred didn’t recognize Stella, who looked straight at him and spit out vicious words, but then, following her memories, she realized that Stella was her son’s maid.
Long straight purple hair, dark and empty purple eyes. As beautiful as Adele.
Stella’s appearance was not common.
“Not now. She quit being her maid now.”
“How would you feel if you were a maid in our family…”
It was only natural that Count Kindred did not understand her Stella’s existence.
It’s not easy to understand that her maid, who until recently worked in her own house, is now wearing her academy uniform and talking to herself like a sharp awl.
“Does it matter now?”
But Stella didn’t even try to make her count understand this.
As if there is absolutely no reason for you to tell me this.
“It doesn’t matter if you deserve it for Philip Edgar.”
“······What now…”
Stella doesn’t even have basic etiquette.
The Count began to take a sharp stance as if he were going to run at Stella right away.
“Dad! Please… Stop…”
Seeing her father like that, Rihanna started to shed tears.
And.
“The lady… What are you crying about doing well?”
“·······························.”
Stella’s frosty voice was now directed towards Rihanna’s younger sister.
***
“What are you saying to my daughter now!”
Earl Kindred was dumbfounded.
It’s not enough to stop Philip from doing anything to the guy who made his son like that.
Now throwing a dagger at his daughter, Rianna.
So I tried to pour it all out.
“What did my daughter do wrong…”
“Wrong? You said it well.”
He was forced to stop by Stella, who cut him off literally.
“The young lady did nothing wrong.”
“Then why…”
“If it’s not a big mistake to just watch your brother while he gets hurt and sick.”
Stella continued his speech without pausing.
“Isn’t it funny? When your brother is having a hard time being compared to his fiancée by his parents. That he doesn’t do anything.”
“····.”
“Even with that, when my brother starts walking down the wrong path, he doesn’t get him back on the right path. He makes a declaration like ‘Something like you is not my brother!'”
How can that not be wrong?
Stella’s sharp words pierced Lyanna’s heart.
“······Brother…”
Shocked by her words, Lee Anna couldn’t shed more tears as she blankly searched for her brother.
Stella looked at Rianna for a moment as she acted out of her mind.
“You. Self-proclaimed academy professors.”
He pointed to Lapis and Javert and said.
“Are you guys still professors at the best academy?”
It was a situation where he could have been angry enough at Stella’s rude words that didn’t mix with honorifics at all.
“····.”
For some reason, Professor Javert didn’t say anything and just listened to Stella.
“Because of me…”
Principal Lapis was still racked with guilt and didn’t seem to notice that Stella spoke in plain language.
“You guys who are the best professors in the best academy. You’ve set up the case twice in such a short period of time. How is this possible?”
“····.”
“If the young master knew that he was in this situation, he’d rather have him drop out. What the hell are you doing?”
“That’s…”
Professor Javert seemed to want to say something as if he felt unfair at the word dropout.
“Be quiet. I never gave you a say.”
“····.”
“Open your mouth about what you did well.”
Even that was blocked by Stella.
It was a strange sight.
To see the homeroom professor, who could be said to be the representative of the class, get stuck with only one student.
It’s a very contrived scene.
Thinia thought.
“Next. Adele Listonia.”
Stella’s finger now turned to Adele, who was standing on the other side of Rianna.
“······Huh.”
“What are you crying about doing well?”
“I…I am.”
Although she was still Adele, she was shocked that she did not recognize Rihanna’s condition.
Stella’s vicious remarks did not discriminate against anyone.
“It’s actually because of you that the young master became like that.”
“·······························.”
“You became like that while trying to protect you in the forest. But even if you treat the boy well, will you hurt him when it’s not enough?”
“You said you were hurt because of me…?”
Lian? Is she because of her?
‘······· Ah.’
Suddenly, a passing thought.
– I hate you. Adele Listonia.
– So break off the engagement.
Her fiancé, who was trying to get away from her somehow by putting up her ridiculous grounds.
– ······Sorry.
When she asked why she was trying to stay away from her, Lian left a brief apology and turned around.
Her wounds were not unique to her.
“Lian… Ugh.”
She had to tell her that. Also, Rihanna, who was forced to do it even though she really didn’t want to.
She must have been hurt. Maybe she’s hurt many times worse than her.
The moment I realized that fact.
Adele started crying more sadly than anyone else in the world.
Her face as clear as white jade was filled with transparent tears. Her always proud figure fell on her knees to her dying childhood friend because of her.
“······Next.”
Stella looked at Adele, who also started to cry sadly for a moment, then turned her head to look at the other person.
The main character of the next line of sight was Philip.
“Philip Edgar.”
“Because of me…Because of me…”
“······I want to defeat it with magic that is several times stronger than the magic that the boy received, but at least he seems to be aware of his mistakes.”
Since Philip had already begun to be strangled by Count Kindred, he had been insane.
Stella didn’t seem to feel anything worth saying.
“Next.”
The next turn was Tinia.
“You know I don’t like seniors very much, right?”
“······Yes, I know.”
Unlike the vicious language so far, which was all in short language, Stella was using honorifics to Tinia.
Tinia was very touched by that fact.
“It’s better than the other humans here… But the senpai isn’t much different either. How can the mentee not notice that the mentee is blind?”
“······Sorry. I should have paid more attention…”
Because he didn’t completely get out of that sharp and pointed vicious remark.
I couldn’t help but accept it even though I thought it was strange.
As I said before, it is also true that the situation would not have reached this point if she had quickly noticed the condition of her junior Lian.
“Because of me…”
“Please.
“······From now on…?”
Tinia doubted her ears.
Apparently, her junior is lying dead on the bed as if she will never wake up.
Doesn’t Stella’s words mean that her juniors will wake up as if nothing happened?
Tinia wasn’t the only one who thought so.
“Now… What did you say. Lian could rise?”
Earl Kindred, who was just watching this contrived situation, came to his senses and asked Stella.
Stella made an expression that she really didn’t want to answer Count Kindred, but she answered in a low voice, as if she couldn’t help it.
“······ Although it hurt her head badly. Not to the point of death.”
“I’m glad… I’m glad.”
Hearing that his son could live, the count seemed relieved as if he had forgotten all about his rudeness.
“······Do you deserve reassurance?”
Until Stella’s dagger, which was pointed at everyone here, was pointed at the Count.
“It’s you and your proud wife who are the culprits of all this. Are you relieved?”
“How could it be because of my wife and I! My wife and I raised Lian with love…”
The Count’s words did not follow.
He stopped what he was saying with an expression that said, “I’m sorry,” As if the count himself, who had been talking until then, was stabbed by something.
“Yeah. You know. You don’t have the right to say that.”
“I… Lian…”
“How did you raise the young boy? How did you compare him to a fiancee who is a genius while not thinking about the heart of the hard working young boy?”
“·······I.”
“Because the young boy, whose self-esteem has been shattered, eventually starts to fall into a bad way, did you treat him as a missing child right away?”
“····.”
“How you and your wife raised the boy.”
Saying that, Stella’s purple eyes were filled with miasma.
As if I’ve been waiting for this to happen.
“Why is the boy like this right now? It’s because of that goddamn Philip Edgar. Has the boy become sick? It’s because of that beggar Adele Listonia.”
“····.”
“But the root cause of all this is because of you.”
“Ah…Ah…”
“It’s because of you and your proud wife.”
You understand?
At Stella’s words, which go beyond piercing the heart and pierce the count’s soul.
The Count gathered his last energy and shouted.
“······So. Then what did this division do for four years!”
“····.”
“Me and my wife… If my wife and I couldn’t do our parents properly, shouldn’t you at least protect our son…”
Your role. The role of the head of state. Parental role.
The tears and cries of the ugly father who couldn’t play all three roles reached Stella.
And.
Stella heard that.
“······You. You dare say you know something.”
He seemed genuinely angry.
As if everything was just a joke up until now. A strong sense of magical pressure filled the health room.
“Kyaaak!”
Let the screams of Rianna and Tinia engulfed in it echoed.
Hwaak-
The magical power that was holding everyone down disappeared in an instant.
As if nothing had happened.
“······What we can and cannot do is different.”
Only Stella’s sentences filled with regret.
“So please. Take good care of the young master.”
Please.
Remained in the quiet infirmary.
With tears of regret shed by everyone here.
