89 – Did you love your mother?
Evan saw the vassals who were defending Carter.
When Evan made eye contact, they lowered their gaze.
Evan took a deep breath from her.
“Is this all who are dissatisfied with me? “I, Evan, will accept it, so come out if you have it!”
Evan shouts loudly.
The vassals around Carter cowered, and the second brother eventually hid himself among the vassals.
Even though Evan’s power is great, he is also afraid of Elder Rugal who is here.
“hahahahaha! You have great spirit, Evan. Okay. “A knight like this should become the head of the family!”
Rugal smiles and praises Evan.
Evan looked at Rugal indifferently.
Rugal tries to make Evan a tool of the family.
Evan didn’t remember Rugal well.
I knew that Rugal was an old man drunk on power.
Evan opened his mouth.
“I plan to disown my family. “Please tell Carter, who is lying down over there, or my second brother, who is hiding, to run the house.”
“……….”
Rugal’s expression sank at Evan’s words.
This young guy was trying to give strength, but what kind of arrogance is this?
“Evan, do you know why the Carter gang won’t touch you right now? Your humble strength? Of course, I admit that you are strong. But you should know that I have Rugal. Without me, all your vassals will criticize your recklessness.”
Rugal threatens Evan.

The meaning is implied to obediently become the head of the family.
The puppet matriarch who listens carefully to the words of the elders.
They also said that if they don’t do that, they will focus their attack on Evan.
Evan caught his breath.
Was Grace Street, where he lived, such an ugly place?
He just thought that he was discriminated against because he was a child.
‘…… Should we sweep them all away?’
Evan was worried.
Will I fight the entire Grace family?
Fighting with all of them is easy for Evan.
It’s just annoying that these guys are waging public opinion wars.
Dag-dak-dak-dak-dak-dak!!
A close-knit moment when Evan and Grace’s elder Rugal had a confrontation.
A carriage and many knights on horses appeared.
“Get out of the way and bow your head!! “His Excellency the Marquis of Ashur is coming!!”
The leader, the knight wearing a helmet, Rose skillfully stopped and shouted.
All attention is focused here.
“Hey, hey! Ah, the Marquis of Ashur!?”
The vassals who recognized the coat of arms of the Marquis of Ashur were devastated.
The Marquis’ troops take over the scene in an instant.
Ashur’s knights dismounted from their horses and herded the vassals into one place.
Cornelia came down from the carriage with transformation magic on her face.
Cornelia approaches Evan with Rose.
Rugal, who was next to Evan, swallowed the wind.
The Ashur knights are glaring at Rugal as if they are going to eat him.
Anyone can see that it was an intention to intimidate Rugal.
‘Eh, hasn’t Evan gotten engaged to the Marquis of Ashur yet?’
Rugal was embarrassed.
I never thought the Marquis of Ashur would come in person.
Rose pushed Rugal’s side, and Cornelia stood in front of Evan.
Rugal is pushed out.
Evan lowered his gaze and spoke to Cornelia.
“You didn’t have to come.”
“It’s my benefactor’s job, so how could I not come?”
Cornelia speaks with a gentle smile.
The magic was set so that only Evan could see Cornelia’s face, so Evan was able to see Cornelia’s bare face.
Cornelia’s leisurely appearance.
Evan felt reassured.
“I’m just in debt.”
“I have already received a lot from my benefactor, so don’t think like that.”
Cornelia spoke with a smiling face and then she looked back at Rugal.
Cornelia looked with a straight face.
“Rugal Innin Grace, you are messing with my soon-to-be fiancé. “You can accept it as a challenge to me, right?”
“No, it was never like that. His Excellency the Marquis of Ashur! I just wanted Evan to become the head of the family…….”
Rugal makes excuses. Cornelia looked at Evan again, squinting her left eye to keep Rugal from seeing.
“Sir Evan, is that true?”
“All Rugal is saying is that we need a puppet that listens well. “I just want to disown my family.”
“My future husband is like that. From today, Sir Evan will have no connection with the Grace family!”
The Marquis of Ashur makes a cool decision.
Rugal chewed his lips.
I was wondering if a talented family head would appear for the first time in a while.
“…… “It’s our family’s problem.”
Rugal did not want to let go of Evan easily.
Rugal’s bravery that dares to stand up to the marquis.
Cornelia was laughable.
“Rugal, do you think I don’t know that the Grace Presbyterian Church is illegally occupying land? It was the land of the central region… Did you cultivate and harvest someone else’s land as you please? “I wonder what will happen if the imperial family finds out about this.”
Cornelia, who uncovers corruption in the Presbyterian Council.
It is illegal to arbitrarily cultivate other people’s land.
Rugal was astonished.
“The work of the Presbyterian Church…… Uh… “How.”
“I hope you don’t underestimate the Marquis’s intelligence too much. “Why, thanks to you, there might be a great disaster to Grace’s family?”
“……….”
Rugal’s complexion turned dark and he died due to Cornelia’s threats.
Getting caught by a lower-ranking nobleman while secretly using land.
What Marquis Ashur takes issue with is the difference between heaven and earth.
Rugal lowered his head.
This was a battle I lost even without trying.
“…… Sorry.”
※
When Count Richard arrived in front of the outbuilding.
It was after the situation was over.
Rugal decided to take responsibility and accept Evan’s disownment.
In fact, Evan is no longer related to the Grace family.
Richard ran without a horse or carriage, out of breath, and looked for Evan.
The knights of Marquis Ashur are building a camp in front of the outbuilding.
Evan was entering the annex.
“Evan!”
Richard called Evan in a breathless voice.
Evan heard Richard’s voice while entering the annex.
The women around Evan glared at Richard.
For Maya, Cynthia, and Cornelia, the Grace family was Evan’s enemy.
“It’s okay.”
Evan raised his hand and calmed the group that was showing hostility.
Earl Richard is Evan’s father.
Even though Evan was not a bad person.
He was the one who stood by and tolerated the bullying of Carter and Bill Sil.
She was a powerless matriarch.
“…… “I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I no longer have anything to do with the Grace family.”
Evan drew a line at his father, who had a painful expression on his face.
Count Richard approaches Evan and stops.
In Richard’s eyes, Evan’s childhood flashed.
9 Years ago.
The nature of the Grace family.
[Father! The maid’s bastard dared to step into nature! Are you going to kick me out!?]
Carter was running towards him and telling him stories.
Count Richard held Carter’s hand and looked at Evan behind him.
Evan’s face is bruised as if he had been hit by Carter.
The municipal secretary next to me whispered quietly.
[It would not be good for Master Carter to take Master Evan’s side. The vassals are not funny…….]
The eldest son is higher than the illegitimate son.
Showing it to your retainers helps maintain order in the house.
For the eldest son, Carter, to inherit the count family in a stable manner in the future.
Count Richard closed his mouth.
[…] … ….]
Evan looked like he was holding back his tears.
Just looking at Richard with sad eyes.
His family is more important than his feelings as a father.
Even if it is wrong.
[Father!]
Carter’s voice.
All Richard could do was just watch.
Evan’s body, which was looking at him, was small and thin.
Currently.
In front of the outbuilding.
Evan now has a strong physique and a strong appearance.
With an indifferent expression on his face, Evan tried to enter the annex.
Richard was feeling depressed.
“…… “I’m sorry.”
The dignity of the head of the family is collapsing.
Richard did not think of himself as the head of the family now.
He just acts like his father.
“No more to you…” “Don’t interfere.”
“I disowned you, so it’s natural.”
Evan draws a line as if cutting with a knife.
When did you become so strong?
Richard suppressed his anger and took out a piece of paper from his arms.
It was a land document for a separate building.
“I brought it just in case…” I will give you ownership of the outbuilding… Meanwhile, I…… I couldn’t pay attention to you. Also… Carter or the Presbyterian Church…… “Now that I have a cause, I will give him the appropriate punishment.”
“……….”
Evan was unexpected.
Richard seems to care about Evan, and he looks wet from his crying.
In some ways, this is excessive consideration.
My father was always calculating profits and losses with a cold expression.
Is it because of surrender to power?
Although this seemed pretentious to Evan, he received the land document for the outbuilding.
“This is where my mother is… “I will take ownership.”
“…… Okay.”
Richard just answered as if he had given up.
Evan was not at ease.
Even if it’s a pretense, my father is suffering like this.
Of course, what Evan suffered at home does not disappear.
“…… “Let me ask you one last question.”
“…… “If it’s something I can talk about.”
To Richard, who feels like a sinner.
Evan asked what he wanted to ask most.
“Did you love your mother?”
Richard answered Evan’s emotionally charged question without thinking for long.
“…… Loved it Catherine… “She was a cute girl.”
The reason why I say “I love you” Is… That she really loved.
Even though Evan’s mother was a maid.
Richard liked Catherine’s bright personality and was still in love with her.
The father’s expression filled with shame and longing.
Evan looked at Richard blankly and opened the main door of the annex.
“…… All right.”
I have nothing more to say to my father.
The father whom my mother loved.
Luckily… It is said that the father also loved his mother.
Why is it so hard to see my father?
Evan turned his head towards her and entered the annex.
Count Richard was left behind.
Count Richard was looking down at the floor for a long time.
※
“What should we do with Grace, our benefactor?”
“If… Just put pressure on the Presbyterian Church. “If we take the Presbyterian Church as an example, other people in Grace will not think nonsense.”
“Nature…… Are you saying you’re leaving me alone?”
“Yes.”
Evan answered Cornelia’s question.
I plan to put pressure on the Presbyterian Church to only set an example.
Cornelia has many weaknesses in the Presbyterian Church.
I heard that Count Richard is punishing Carter and Rugal.
Here, Cornelia wanted to bring down the entire Grace.
Evan didn’t want to go that far.
Even my father is a bystander.
Because her current father is the person her mother loved very much.
Evan passed.
Not because I love my father, but for my mother.
Of course, if you bother Evan again, he will come forward himself.
“…… “The relationship between parents and children is difficult.”
After Cornelia heard Evan’s words, her hostility faded.
Evan ends on a reasonable note.
The benefactor has a face that looks thoughtful.
It must be because Count Richard is the benefactor’s father.
No… Was she related to her benefactor’s mother?
As a member of the royal family, rather than receiving affection from her parents, Cornelia was educated by the ruler.
It was difficult to understand Evan’s feelings.
“…… My benefactor, I… “Can I offer a grave to my benefactor’s mother?”
Still, you can figure it out.
Evan gladly accepted Cornelia’s request.
“Of course.”
Backyard of an outbuilding.
Cornelia placed white flowers in front of the grave, stood side by side with Evan, and prayed.
Cynthia watched these two from behind, her heart burned.
The person who solved Evan’s problem this time was Marquis Ashur.
The Marquis of Ashur brought the knights and subjugated the Grace family.
‘…… ‘I wish I knew it would turn out like this.’
He should have come with the Winter Knights.
Cynthia regretted it.
It’s painful to see Evan and the Marquis Ashur side by side.
Seeing those two together as if they were so familiar.
I don’t have the courage to step into their gap.
Cynthia only has negative emotions.
Juri next to Cynthia was amazing.
“My brother… “It’s really changed.”
Evan destroyed his older brother, Carter, and took ownership of the outbuilding.
In Juri’s memories, Evan’s cute and gentle appearance has now become strong and calm.
Also, an endless number of amazing and classy women flock to Evan.
Juri was uneasy about being happy about Evan’s work.
Evan disowned Grace.
From Noble mtl dot com
Could it be that Evan is no longer Juri’s older brother?
Because Evan had gone so far away, Juri felt unfamiliar with her brother.
