Obsessed with Regressors

It didn’t matter if the world didn’t know what kind of person she was. Maybe Elliot liked it better that way. The more great things Eugenie did, the more pain and pressure would be placed on her. Perhaps he would have preferred Eugenie to be an ordinary countess’s girl who would not receive as much attention as she did now. Because he could monopolize her in peace. In that respect, he didn’t like Claire’s existence that much.

“But…”

Claire opened her mouth, as if she didn’t like Elliot’s words. Elliot raised his teacup and interrupted her.

“There is some misunderstanding, Lord Lannon.”

What was she misunderstanding? Elliot continued speaking to Claire who paused.

“Lady Biscon is a kind person. If it means he gets a little hurt and things end peacefully, he’ll choose that.”

Claire knew that too. But Claire liked the nuance of his words more than the substance. She also served the noble Lady Biscon for a long time. She was with Lady Biscon until she died.

In front of her, she hated it when Elliot acted like he knew Lady Biscon better. Maybe he knew better, but he still hated it. But before Claire could point it out, Elliot interrupted her.

“It’s okay if the opponent has about five knights. Eugenie knows that she will survive if she does her best. But she doesn’t pull out her blade if she’s the one who can win.”

That’s why Sir Escalee told Eugenie that it would be better not to hold a sword. If your opponent was trying to take your life, he should never show you mercy. If a rumor spreads that Eugenie entered Lord Psylocke’s mansion alone and rescued her brother, and people find out that it was thanks to Eugenie’s swordsmanship, there will be people who challenge Eugenie. Among them, there may be a guy who has the foolish idea of ​​winning over her and making her famous. Even worse, if a noble lady handles her sword, there would be someone who had the even more foolish idea of ​​scolding her for how much she could handle it.

“Eugenie will win against most of them, but if something like that happens again, she might get hurt.”

No matter how skilled a prosecutor she was, she got hurt at least once. Elliot, she thought, she didn’t need to take any unnecessary risks. Besides, she prefers that more people think Eugenie is weak. That way, when she’s in danger, her opponent would have an opening.

“Claire.”

Not long after the conversation between the two ended, Eugenie, who had gone up to Oliver’s bedroom to hear the doctor’s explanation, came down. She said, opening her door and looking into her drawing-room.

“Oliver said he wanted to say thank you.”

Just a few hours ago, if she’d heard something like that, Claire wouldn’t have hesitated to go up and say it was okay, he just did what he had to do. But just now, Claire had a conversation that reminded him once again why he hated Oliver, no, he didn’t hate him, he hated him.

“It’s okay.”

Claire said with a stern expression. Right now, she didn’t even want to see Oliver Biscon’s face. She wished she had just died there. But if Oliver Biscon died, Eugenie would be sad. Claire gritted her teeth as she remembered the handsome but somewhat foolish Oliver.

She really hated that guy.

“Did you hear?”

As the heat subsided, people started socializing outside. Two women met while taking a walk in the park and began exchanging rumors they each knew. Perhaps the most interesting rumor among them is that Sir Psylocke was expelled from the Order of the White Lion. In addition, it is said that the Knights Templar itself investigates the behavior of its knights.

“What on earth is going on?”

“From what I heard, it seems that Lord Psylocke has been harassing Baron Biscon.”

Baron Biscon? Oliver’s handsome face appeared in the minds of those listening. The tall, shiny young man had blonde hair and she would have been married by now if the Biscons hadn’t been so poor. Of course, people were of the opinion that Baron Biscon’s late marriage was not due to his poverty, since with a face as shiny as his shiny blonde hair, he would have been able to marry no matter how poor he was.

“Oh my, my God.”

“You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”

In an instant, people’s attention turned to Oliver’s face. You didn’t hurt your face, right? It is Balsian’s great misfortune to have that handsome face ruined.

“I think your nose is broken, right?”

“Oh my gosh.”

“It’s a big deal.”

It should stick together just fine. At the sound of Oliver’s name, the people gathered there let out a sad sigh. Of course, there were people who wanted Oliver’s beauty to be ruined.

“I thought Lady Biscon saved it.”

“Lady Biscon?”

The eyes of the people gathered widened as they heard someone else’s words. Lady Biscon saved her brother during the fight between Lord Psylocke and Baron Biscon? Lady Biscon was a person who would be better off being saved by someone rather than saving someone else. Such was his pale complexion and small stature. But the person who spoke did not stop.

“Rumor has it that Lady Biscon defeated Lord Psylocke with her sword and saved her brother.”

What? For a moment, silence fell over people’s heads. But it wasn’t long before the silence was broken by bursts of laughter.

“Lady Biscon to Lord Psylocke?”

“With a sword?”

This was ridiculous. The face of the person who spoke turned red as people burst into laughter. He also scolded his friend who told him the news, saying he needed to sleep to dream. Still, he thought it was just an interesting rumor. Lady Biscon defeated a knight with a sword. It was also a rumor that the White Lion Knights would be offended if they heard.

“Nonsense.”

People held onto their boats and denied what the man said. Immediately the topic of gossip shifted to Eugenie.

“You broke off your engagement recently, right?”

“I heard you were engaged to Lord Rencid.”

“Who on earth was the problem?”

“Can’t you tell just by looking at it?”

When the first lady spoke, puzzled expressions appeared on people’s faces. She said, shrugging her shoulders.

“Lord Rencid, with his mother, returned to the estate before the social season was over. But Lady Biscon remains in the capital.”

“A new suitor also appeared.”

That alone was enough to reveal whose problem it was. People nodded at the lady’s words. Everyone has a story to tell. But she wasn’t sure if it was true, so she was just being careful what she said.

“There are three suitors, right?”

“Wasn’t it four?”

“There are three.”

Count Burns, Lord Ryan and Lord Heinz.

The latter two were friends of her brother, Baron Biscon. Count Burns was the most popular man in society and needed no explanation. Count Burns alone showed that Lady Biscon had found a better suitor than when she first entered society.

“I guess she is a little selfish.”

At that time, the woman standing on the edge opened her mouth. Selfish? Who? The eyes of the people were on her.

“Mrs. Harmon.”

Mrs. Cathy Harmon. Her husband, Lord Harmon, was a man of considerable wealth and was known for his outstanding business acumen. However, the reason Lord Harmon was able to start a business was all thanks to the dowry that Lady Harmon brought when she got married. Without her advice, Lord Harmon might have gone bankrupt several times in his early days.

“Who is selfish?”

That’s why people had respect for Mrs. Harmon. Cathy smiled and said in response to the question from the man closest to her.

“I mean Lady Biscon. No matter how much she is a countess, she is the one who broke off her engagement once. But isn’t it too much to grab three men and shake them?”

Was she? People’s gazes collided. It was nonsense to say that a suitor was being swayed by his hand. Of course, sometimes there are people who receive expensive gifts from multiple suitors. But ultimately, the gift was the giver’s choice. If you couldn’t or didn’t want to give expensive gifts, you could just court someone else.

“Isn’t that right? There are so many single women in society who have two of the most popular men on their hands.”

She had two of the most popular men? Questions appeared on people’s faces again. They understood that one of them was Count Burns. But who was the most popular man, Sir Ryan or Sir Heinz?

Mrs. Harmon let out a sigh of relief when people didn’t seem to understand. It’s because they were so clueless. She spoke, raising her voice slightly due to her impatience.

“Count Burns and Baron Biscon.”

“But Lady Harmon, Baron Biscon is Lady Biscon’s brother?”

Of course, he was not the one suitoring Lady Biscon. But Mrs. Harmon thought differently. She said, frowning.

“Isn’t it strange? Why isn’t Baron Biscon even engaged? That younger sister even broke off the engagement.”

She didn’t know what this meant. Among the bewildered crowd, the man who said Eugenie had defeated Lord Psylocke with his sword opened his mouth.

“Lady Biscon is preventing her brother from marrying her darling?”

Mrs. Harmon paused for a moment at his words. That wasn’t what she wanted. Mrs. Harmon thought for a moment of her daughter, who was making her debut this social season. Naturally, she had prepared a considerable dowry. According to her desires, her daughter must be engaged to a high-ranking nobleman. But somehow, this social season, all the men who courted Mrs. Harmon’s daughter were no-nonsense men. It’s okay to be a little poor. If the family is okay.

The people who caught Mrs. Harmon’s eyes were Baron Biscon and Count Burns. And Lady Biscon, who is next to the two men.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Why was she dating two handsome men? Mrs. Harmon’s displeasure came out. Wasn’t she a flawed woman who even broke off her engagement? She made her social debut this year, and she is a far cry from her daughter, who even has a hefty dowry. Moreover, she even waited for me to run her business as an unmarried woman. By all accounts, she was much better than her own daughter, and she wasn’t even that much prettier than her daughter, Countess Burns, just by her title of Lady.

Being courted by

Dissatisfaction with Lady Biscon rose again. Mrs. Harmon spoke confidently.

“She doesn’t want her brother to get married before her. That’s why she’s so grumpy.”
