The day after the small storm.

It was about a month later, though.

The unpopular woman Silvana called me to the house that served as the school.

She said it was a confidential matter.

Today’s classes were over, so there should be no one else there.

Most of the time, when a woman comes up with something confidential, it’s a bad idea.

But since I’m the lord, I couldn’t ignore her.

When I entered the classroom, Silvana came running up to me.

“What’s going on?”

The unpopular woman Silvana looked like a Buddha in hell.

“Ah! She’s here! She’s here! It’s about Del. I want you to listen to her.”

I don’t understand.

“Why me?”

The unpopular woman Silvana put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

“It’s because a man like Al is the perfect person to listen to a woman’s problems.”

“Don’t women usually do that?

“No, women are always complaining to each other. That’s why …… Del is by far more superior in mass. You know the rest.”

“You mean, she was just being swept away ……”

The unpopular woman Silvana was trying her best to talk me out of it.

“Well, yeah. And Al is the feudal lord. You have to solve your people’s problems!”

“No, the lord of Ravenna has no right to intrude into the private lives of his people ……”

If I do that, there’ll be no end to it.

First of all, I’ll die!

The unpopular woman Silvana asks her with her hands together.

""

“No …… I understand that, but…! Please do something about it!”

The unpopular woman Silvana is driven by emotions and does not accept theories.

It’s really troublesome ……

I sighed deeply.

“It’s only this time ……”

Let’s get it done quickly ……

From now on, I will let Mil or Kiara go through her.

Yeah, that’s good.

◆◇◆◇◆

When I was taken to the other room, Delphine was waiting for me.

“I’m sorry, my lord …… Vana told me that I should tell my story to Milord.”

The unpopular woman Silvana fluttered her hands and fled quickly.

“There’s no guarantee that me listening to you will help ……”

Delphine smiled calmly.

“Vana told me. She said that if I told milord my story, I will strangely feel refreshed. Vana’s intuitive way of saying things has never struck me as strange.”

Is that so ……

I had no choice but to listen to her.

The outline was as I had heard it.

But hearing it directly is very heavy ……

They started dating when she was 18, when she started working as receptionist.

He promised to be with her when he made it big in the future, and …… she supported the man materially and emotionally all the way.

When she turned 23, the man’s range of activities expanded.

He started to work in other cities and didn’t come to her as much.

But he still showed up once in a while.

It was around that time that she was advised to start saving money for her future marriage.

I guess it would hurt his conscience if he threw her out penniless.

If you have a conscience, don’t do two-timing ……

It’s just the guy’s theory.

He probably thought it would help if she could rush into a relationship with another guy while he was trying to buy some time.

It was too messy to even be a plan.

It’s a story that can’t be boiled or baked.

And it was six months ago when he said goodbye to her, just by letter.

It’s no wonder she was stunned.

She heard through the rumors that he had married another receptionist.

The Guild are left to their own devices, unable to intervene in private disputes.

And, she couldn’t take it anymore, and quit the guild.

While she was holed up in her house, she received a letter from the guild asking for a reading and writing teacher for the unpopular woman named Silvana.

She didn’t even want to see what the guild had to say.

So she put them together and left them there, but …… she didn’t feel like burning them down.

Or, more correctly, she didn’t even have the energy to do so.

And then she just forgot about it.

After she calmed down a bit, she remembered something she had neglected and found it when she was sorting through.

I came here because I have nothing but bad memories of being there. (T/N: She said.)

It’s a staple situation, but you know what?

It’s too heavy ……

The weight of being told face to face isn’t half as heavy as this …… 

And it’s intense because she said it while staring at me.

You should experience it once.

This torture.

When Delphine finished speaking, she sighed deeply and profoundly.

“You may think I’m an idiot, but …… I didn’t even want to take revenge …… I just wanted to get away.”

In the meantime, I basically just nodded my head and told her to keep talking.

I have to choose my words very carefully on this one.

I have to be careful not to mix in any nuance of blame or denial.

“I can’t say anything about that decision. After all, I don’t know what kind of time you spent with that man, Ms. Masia. It’s probably true that you had a terrible time as a result. I wonder what the first few years of your relationship were like.”

Delphine looked at me as if she were looking at a cherished memory.

But …… soon she shook her head slowly.

“I was very happy that time. Only until that time, though ……”

I nodded quietly.

My stomach hurt as I continued to walk the tightrope of words.

""

“It depends on whether you can turn everything into hate.”

I guess she didn’t expect me to say that.

Delphine gave me an unexpected look.

At times like this, I am usually comforted.

But for some people, it’s even more miserable.

“Is that how it is?”

“Yes. Some people want to throw away the whole thing because part of it is dirty. If you can cut out only that part, some people may want to cut it out and leave it.”

Delphine gave him a self-mocking look.

“I just ran away, you know. I didn’t even dare to take revenge.”

If I affirmed this statement, I would be hurting her.

The rope seemed to become even thinner.

“No. I’m sure you didn’t think it was wrong until you felt it at the time. I think that’s why you chose to leave it behind.”

“It’s true that when we first started going out, it was very pure and happy.”

“If you deny it until then, you won’t be able to believe anything in the future. For some people, it’s easier than others. For some people, it’s heavy and painful.”

Delphine remained silent, looking at me with serious eyes, so I continued.

“So, Ms. Masia, you have to live anew. I think you chose to leave it behind.”

It was a stinky line for me, but …… I couldn’t think of anything else to say.

Delphine looked at me with a look of surprise.

I was afraid that she might say something negative about me.

So I prepared myself to be told something.

Maybe that was her state of mind.

“Did I really look like that?”

“I think so. And the residents here are a bunch of people who have no place in the world. There will be people who will sympathize with you or be angry with you. But no one will deny it.”

For now, I smiled so as not to be taken too seriously.

“If pity is a burden, just keep up appearances and you’ll be fine. As for me, I’ve been having a hard time finding a literature teacher. I’m very grateful that you’re here.”

For a moment, Delphine looked at me in silence.

Then she looked relieved and happy.

“It’s just like Vana said. I feel much lighter now. And I found the lord to be a very nice man. If I were ten years younger, I would have attacked you.”

Delphine joked at the end.

I hope you will be able to recover somehow.

“You’re still young, Ms. Masia. I’m sure you’ll still have a lot of opportunities.”

Delphine seemed to sulk a little at my words.

“Oh my. It sounds like sarcasm when it comes from a sixteen-year-old lord.”

The tone was light, but a bit accusing.

Yes, that’s true …

Before my reincarnation, a woman of 25 is a young lady …

Seriously, I’m so stupid.

Delphine saw my flustered face and gave a small laugh.

“But you don’t look sixteen, and I’ll take that as pure encouragement.”

No, I’m sixteen, though.

But, well …… I guess it’s good since it’s fine now.

It’s itchy and painful.

◆◇◆◇◆

At that time, Robert came running in, looking unusually flustered.

“Milord, there’s a problem with the immigrants.”

It’s finally here.
