Viscount Gray was annoyed by his wife who behaved childishly, unaware of her own breadth and depth.
Even though it was his fault for his past infidelity, he had had enough.
He didn’t have any regrets about the maid, and she had never even questioned Kylo, who had left the house at the time.
From then on, he only looked at the Viscountess with utmost devotion.
And honestly, if either Benjamin or Bradley had joined the Order, there would have been no reason for him to call Kylo so late.
He even regularly sent money to her parents, who had become poor.
The amount of money that went into each corner of the house every month wasn’t a penny or two.
‘But how dare this person, my wife, disrespect her husband’s respect like this!’
Even though Kylo was an illegitimate child born through his infidelity, he was the only one of his children who belonged to the Order.
So she should have felt guilty and ashamed of herself.
What would Benjamin and Bradley do if they revived their original wives?
You raised your children so useless and then act so shamelessly in front of me!
Viscount Gray ordered, looking at the Viscountess with sharp eyes.
“Ma’am, next time, tell the chef to prepare Kylo’s favorite foods. You have to order it yourself.”
“………”
The Viscountess’s brow furrowed.
She was using up as much patience as she could just sitting here.
But what?
Next time, you’re not going to call that dirty bastard again, but you’re also asking me to personally make the bastard’s favorite food?
‘Is that person crazy?’
The Viscountess glared at Kylo, who sat across from her, her eyes burning with anger.
She still clearly remembered the day when her husband suddenly brought in his grown illegitimate son.
He was someone who had completely forgotten whether he was alive or dead.
The day the young illegitimate rat ran away.
The Viscountess said that at the time, she wanted to somehow find Kylo and kill him, but she held back.
She thought it was enough that her husband apologized to her. She tried to cover up all her problems by showing mercy.
But more than 10 years later, that rat-like guy came back as a famous mercenary.
He is even a member of the Black Knights.
My husband, who was trying to get his first and second sons into the knighthood at all costs, no longer encouraged them.
He took Kylo instead and gave the illegitimate son the Gray family name.
Without even a word of consultation or permission from her, his wife!
The Viscountess blamed her husband, but her Viscount blamed her instead.
“Aren’t kids like that because they look like you? How can you spend so much money, but not a single one can cross the threshold of the Knights Templar? If you had raised your children properly, I would have done something like this!”
At the time she was a Viscountess and she had nothing to say.
This was because her family was experiencing difficulties at that time, so she received help from her husband.
The Viscountess was forced to obey her husband’s will as if she were dead.
So Kylo took on the last name of Gray, was promoted to leader of the Black Knights, and went to war.
The Viscountess prayed every day from that day on.
I hope that scum-like rat falls into the hands of the devil and dies.
But her prayer was the opposite.
Not only did Kylo return safely, but he was now the leader of the Black Knights with the princess of the empire as his subordinate knight.
The Viscountess bit her lip until she bled, and then she answered slowly.
“All right….”
I wanted to die because of the shame, but I held back.
But she didn’t ask Kylo what his favorite food was.
She only answered for now, but she really had no intention of doing as her husband wanted.
Seemingly satisfied with her wife’s obedient response, Viscount Gray smiled and said,
“Good. And by the way, Benjamin. Bradley.”
The two sons were startled when their father suddenly called their names.
“Yes, father.”
“Yes yes…Speak, father.”
Benjamin and Bradley looked at their father.
Viscount Gray glanced at his two sons before turning his attention to Kylo sitting next to him.
‘Really…All three of them are children who inherited my blood, so how can they be so different?’
Kylo was truly a charter book.
Although he had a rather fierce appearance, he was masculine and handsome, and had long, sturdy bones.
Benjamin and Bradley, on the other hand, were very thin and thin-boned.
Thier eyes are droopy and my gaze is dull…Even though I washed my eyes and searched, I couldn’t see anything.
When I sat next to Kylo, the comparison became clearer and he looked worse.
‘If it weren’t for the hooked nose and clown that resembles my wife, they would have looked quite attractive…Tsk, tsk.’
The Viscount clicked his tongue inside his and glared at the Viscountess.
The children’s hooked noses and protruding cheekbones were features that closely resembled those of his wife.
He had once suspected the maid’s infidelity in giving birth to Kylo, but she had no doubts now.
Anyone can see that Kylo was my son who inherited my blood.
He seemed to resemble himself more than any of the Viscountess’s children.
“…….”
“…….”
Benjamin and Bradley exchanged anxious glances.
For some reason, it wasn’t unusual for their father to stare at them intently and then suddenly glare at their mother.
Benjamin and Bradley’s expressions darkened.
‘What on earth are you trying to say?’
The two were worried that their nervous father would become hysterical, but what he said next was not that bad.
“You two, keep your appearance neat. Go to the dressing room, got dressed, and cleaned your rough skin with precious perfume. Do you understand?”
“Yes yes…father.”
“But why suddenly……”
When Bradley asked cautiously, Viscount Gray grinned and said,
“Soon, your younger brother Kylo will call you to the castle. You must thoroughly prepare to see Her Highness the Princess.”
“The, the princess?”
“Omg… ! Are you talking about Princess Agnes?”
Benjamin and Bradley’s expressions brightened.
Princess Agnes!
The two had seen the princess at a ball they had previously attended.
The princess was famous for her eccentric personality, but her appearance was so beautiful that she was called the best in the empire.
Although they could only watch from afar on tiptoe, the two people were completely amazed by the princess’s beauty.
But can we see a princess like that?
Even up close this time! We can even say hello formally!
Kylo, how much my stomach hurt when I heard that that bastard became the princess’s superior.
Benjamin and Bradley both started laughing as if they had lost their breath.
Only then did the Viscountess’s expression soften as she realized her husband’s true intentions.
‘You should have told me a long time ago…’
The words ‘your little brother Kylo’ coming out of her husband’s mouth were very annoying, but that didn’t matter now.
The Viscountess felt ashamed of herself for her childishness, unaware of her husband’s deep intentions.
“Mom, can’t I go see the princess too?”
The one who cautiously opened her mouth was Viscount Gray’s youngest daughter, Molly.
Now 14 years old, she was in the prime of her adolescence and was busy improving her appearance.
“Stay quiet.”
“Why! I want to go too, please take me to a tea party!”
At the word tea party, the Viscountess’s expression turned pale for an instant.
just as expected. Viscount Gray’s face distorted as he reacted to the same words.
Viscount Gray asked in a more sensitive tone than before.
“Now that I think about it, you still haven’t received a single invitation to come? Not even one?”
“……Well, that….”
The Viscountess wasn’t very sociable.
She tried her best to become friends with noble ladies, but she wasn’t very talkative and wasn’t the type to flatter others.
And above all, the ladies ignored Viscountess Gray.
In their eyes, Viscount Gray was one of the common court nobles.
The only one left for her family was Kylo Gray, and Kylo wasn’t only an illegitimate son, but also famous for being a cruel and terrible war spirit.
There was no way noble ladies would get close to a viscountess like that.
In the first place, bringing an illegitimate child into the family was not enough, and allowing him to use their last name was incomprehensible to noble women.
And the fact that something like that happened meant that the Viscountess’s parents’ family was powerless.
In that case, there was even less reason for noble ladies to be friendly with the viscountess.
