ーーThe time goes back a few hours.
The former mistress, now Countess Owenna Strelitzi, was bored.
Ever since Stephan’s sister Cassie came, the mansion has been in an uproar.
“What happened?”
Even when she asked my husband, he dismissed her with “It’s none of your business,” and Cassie even clicked her tongue and glared at her.
Bored, Owenna decided to go back to the separate house where she used to live, a little away from the main house, and drink. The separate house is familiar to Owenna, with only a few servants, and she knows where the alcohol and cigarettes are.
“The atmosphere is terrible, isn’t it?”
“Okaa-san, stop drinking from noon. . .”
Next to Owenna, who was drinking on the terrace, her 10-year-old daughter frowned. This daughter, who has a plain face full of freckles, is probably the child of a different man than Stephan. Unlike Stephan, who was a mistress for an easy life, she was the child of a serious one-night love affair with a lower-class man.
“I can’t stand it without drinking. Anne, give it back.”
“No. I’ll bring some water.”
While watching the back of Anne, who was pouting in anger, Owenna lost herself in thought.
When you’re a nobleman’s mistress, you can get pregnant and give birth painlessly and calmly with a magic stone, which is a lifesaver. For Owenna, who was born lowly, pregnancy and childbirth were things to overcome severe pain and death. If there’s no pain in the body and the security of money, Owenna would give birth as much as she wanted, and the born children would be adopted one after another, and Stephan would be grateful. It was the best cycle.
That being said, she kept this plain daughter, Anne, with her.
She had a large spot on her face when she was a toddler, so she was disliked for it and no one wanted to adopt her. It’s okay to keep one with me. The daughter she raised with that thought finally lost the spot on her face around the age of 5, and now it’s just freckles.
Perhaps because Anne was always kept with her, she grew up to be a strangely caring and serious child.
“. . . Ah, it’s boring to be a legal wife.”
Owenna muttered, sighing.
Being a legal wife was a dream. But once she became one, it was endlessly boring.
When she lived in the separate house, she would bring young men into the house when no one was there, or have drunken parties with her girlfriends, but since she started living in the main house, she felt like she was living under surveillance.
The old servants looked at Owenna with a disgusted face, and the peasants and nobles kept bringing business to her, the mistress, so it was troublesome all day long.
It was because Chloe, who had been divorced, was half-heartedly involved in the management of the territory. She wanted to curse.
“You seem to be free.”
The one who came to Owenna’s side was an old man with a monocle and long white hair slicked back.
