The Extra Decided to Be Fake

nnox also wondered and asked, but unfortunately, he could not hear an answer.

It was because Cedric left a word of sorry to Lennox and ran away.

It was Cedric’s bare face that Lennox encountered for the first time.
The first cracks in the iron, fortress-like armor that had never collapsed since I knew him as a child.

In the end, Lennox couldn’t catch Cedric, and naturally, Isabel and Cedric’s attempt to marry was also canceled.

One month after that.
Cedric’s love scandal swept the social world hotly.

The opponent is Agnes, a knight without a name with mediocre skills.

Her only characteristic was that she was the illegitimate daughter of a particular county family, and she was in a carriage accident a month ago that she would never be able to lift a sword again.

“If you see something like this, should I say it’s still the same…”

Lennox frowned as he watched the wagon with Maynard’s seal leave.

You expressed the same as you did then and denied what you thought.
That was still the case.

‘I really don’t know what’s right.’

Please don’t lose anything again.

Lennox stood there for a long time, thinking about that.

In addition, along with concerns about how to convey the words that he could not express.

Cedric had probably forgotten, but this was a banquet hall.
It means that it is a place where people’s attention is quickly drawn to trivial things.
And when Cedric made a fuss in the garden, no one couldn’t see it.

Whispers were heard from everywhere as Lennox returned to the banquet hall.

“Did you see it? Obviously…”

“You’re right, Duke Maynard.
It’s not common to see that kind of appearance.”

“What the hell is going on with him carrying the child?”

“Isn’t there anything that’s been announced separately? Is he trying to adopt a child?”

“Say something, count.
You’re a sidekick!”

“Well, I don’t know.
I didn’t hear anything either…”

Nevertheless, Cedric, the rumored Duke of Maynard, appeared with a child in his arms.

Everyone in the banquet hall was whispering about it.
Three days will probably be enough to make a fuss in society, including all kinds of gossip.

‘That’s why I told you to show your face before going.’

Rumors will only subside if the person concerned explains to some extent.

But he disappeared like that, so what can we do?

That’s what you get for breaking that railing, Cedric.

Lennox smiled involuntarily as he listened to the banquet hall’s whispers.

Things seemed like they were going to be very funny.

***

“Miss!!”

Upon entering the mansion, Lilian first saw Mary’s weeping face.

The mansion was already in an uproar.

There was no place where the lights were not turned on in each room because they searched the entire mansion during the night, and Duke Maynard was all bright as day to go out to the garden to find the child.

Thanks to that, Lilian couldn’t help but keep her heart racing to the mansion.

It was something I had been prepared for to some extent since sneaking out, but when I was going back, I was afraid.

“I’m sure I’ll be scolded a lot.

Is it okay if I starve for a day or so? Or only be hit on the legs? Come to think of it, I thought I could endure it until my twenties.

If Mary seemed very angry, she would have to volunteer to be in her twenties.

Teachers were satisfied when the children stepped forward and offered severe punishment.

Perhaps adults thought it was a sign of remorse to say that children would be severely punished.

So Lillian was quick to say that she was wrong this time too.

If only Mary hadn’t hugged her and cried as soon as she entered the mansion.

“Where the hell have you been? I don’t know what’s happening with you in this cold weather…”

I could feel Mary’s warm arms even through the chilly hem of my clothes.

She seems to have been running around without stopping even for a second since she disappeared.

The heartbeat beat faster than usual, the messy hair, the firm hand that hugged her tightly, and the sobbing voice spoke.

Since Lillian disappeared, Mary has wandered around the mansion looking for her.
