Kylo was not related by blood to Eirene. And he was Aishe’s real brother.
“How can I take Aishe’s place?”
“You deserve it. Because Aishe has stolen something from you.”
“I don’t know why you care about me, and not Aishe.”
“I…..”
Kylo tried to say something, but he ended up saying something else.
He scratched his forehead with a troubled expression, but a familiar smile appeared.
“I want you to be happy.”
He wished me happiness.
Eirene burst out laughing.
“Kylo, you were such a good kid. You look good when you wish for the happiness of others. But Aishe was nice too. Your parents were nice too. You know what these nice people have done to me, right? I was abandoned after being used by your family for a long time. That’s why I’m afraid of what you think on the inside, wishing for my happiness.”
“I mean it.”
“Do you have remorse on your conscience now?”
“………”
“Tell Aishe and your parents that I will stick to my role. Also, tell them not to worry, I’ll give her this seat back.”
Eirene was about to turn around, trying to suppress her rising anger when suddenly Kylo grabbed her wrist.
“Eirene. It’s not like that.”
“Let go.”
“I will let you go. So don’t go and listen to me.”
“She told you to let go.”
Suddenly, another voice intervened.
A voice that lets you know who that person is without checking.
A large shadow stepped out of the darkness.
As soon as Kylo saw Clive, he let go of Eirene’s wrist.
Not knowing if Clive had heard their conversation, Kylo’s complexion suddenly turned pale.
His sharp gray eyes were about to blow out Kylo’s neck at any moment.
He looked like a huge, elegant white snake.
Many people called Clive the Imperial maniac. But those were the words of those who had never been struck with the sword wielded by a bastard before knowing him properly.
The moonlight shining on his gray hair made him even more radiant, making Kylo cringe.
When Kylo heard that Eirene was replacing Aishe, he thought it was really good.
He wished Eirene to become the Grand Duchess.
Even if the Grand Duke was full of bad rumors, he is better than Count Phineos.
She would at least be better off living in the basement without a single ray of sunshine.
However, he doesn’t want his family to get into trouble because of Eirene.
He didn’t want to believe that Clive could have overheard the conversation. He couldn’t even imagine.
Clive asked Eirene.
“What’s the problem?”
He spoke softly to her compared to when he spoke to Kylo.
“It’s nothing, Clive. It’s just a little fight between siblings.”
Eirene stepped up.
“Go ahead, Kylo. I’ll talk to you later.”
She pushed Kylo in the back.
Reluctantly pushed by her weak hand, Kylo managed to say goodbye to Clive and left.
His quick pace slowed down, then he stopped, and stood there with a puzzled look on his face.
Once again, knowing the sins of his parents and sister, he condoned them.
He wanted to ask Eirene for forgiveness and help on behalf of her family, but he didn’t have the courage.
If what Eirene went through leaked out, he feared criticism and punishment for the House of Phineos.
Therefore, he stopped visiting the basement where Eirene lived.
He was ashamed of not being different from his family.
Now that he’s an adult, he couldn’t shake the guilt he felt toward Eirene.
He thought he dared to live a life full of regrets, but it was not different from back then.
The moment he saw Clive, he was ashamed of himself to the point of getting scared. So he ran away.
He was relieved that Clive couldn’t hear his conversation with Eirene.
“I won’t be able to avoid the crime either. I will take the punishment, Eirene.”
Kylo sobbed in agony as he wrapped his arms around his head.
For a long time, he couldn’t leave the place.

Clive took off the fur cloak he was wearing and put it on Eirene’s shoulder.
“I think you are crazy.”
At the unexpected words, Eirene looked at him.
Even though there were no people around, she had a conversation with Kylo in a public place.
Although they spoke quietly, there were plenty of places to hide.
Because she was embarrassed and angry at Kylo’s sudden appearance, she was not wary of her surroundings.
“I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize.”
“I know I have to be vigilant, but when I saw Kylo, I got angry and couldn’t control it.”
“I am not talking about him. It’s warm now, but if you come out dressed like this, you will freeze to death.”
Eirene then realized that her body was frozen.
She didn’t know it, but she was shivering.
She closed the cloak around her shoulders, blocking out the cold wind as much as possible.
“I wouldn’t have stayed here until I froze to death. I was so focused on the conversation that I just couldn’t feel the cold.”
“Are you sick? Does it make sense to not feel the cold?”
“I feel the cold now.”
Clive, giving her a disapproving look, urged her to go inside.
The warmth melted her as soon as she followed him inside.
“It’s cold, so why did you go out? Did you promise to meet Kylo Phineos?”
“I met Kylo by chance. It’s my first time at a ball, I felt awkward and I can’t even dance. That’s why I went out.”
“You can’t dance at all?”

“Unfortunately, yes.”
“What should I do? There’s a lot of people waiting for the Grand Duke to dance with his fiancée.”
The guests who were enjoying the ball stopped dancing at the appearance of Clive and Eirene.
She thought they had lost interest, but they were really looking forward to it.
Clive took Eirene’s hand and led her to the center of the ballroom. In this situation, he seems to have had no choice. Strangely, Eirene was not worried at all when he asked her to trust him.
