Chapter 115: 115

Amanda, who was bewildered since she was called in without knowing anything, proceeded to bow in front of the Young Lady.

“Is there something wrong, My Lady?”

“The Grand Duke is here and he wants to meet you.”

“You mean—me, My Lady?”

Amanda raised her head out of curiosity and she was stunned when she saw Knox was there as well. She couldn’t believe that the one who wanted to meet her was none other than the horrifying, monstrous Grand Duke! Amanda quickly bowed her head once more while trembling in response.

“I-is there something I can help you with, sir?”

“I heard that you’re quite close with Vivian.”

Badump. If the heart could actually move by itself, perhaps her heart would have already left the room hastily by now. The unexpected remark made her body shake like a leaf.

“Wh-wh-what’s wrong with that, sir…?”

“Do you know where she went?”

Beads of cold sweat started pouring down like rain on Amanda’s back.

She thought that she was already terrified enough when the Young Lady had asked her, but when the Grand Duke was asking her as well, she felt like fainting.

When she thought about her friend, Vivian, who had been facing this pressure alone, Amanda felt like bursting in tears.

“I-I really don’t know, sir. Just like what I have told the Young Lady before, Vivi left without even telling me where she went!”

Knox’s brows immediately furrowed at Amanda’s answer.

“Really?”

“Pardon……?”

“I’m asking you if that’s the whole truth.”

Knox, who just couldn’t resist his burning rage, clenched his hand tightly against the armrest. Amanda was still trembling in surprise as she desperately nodded her head.

“Yes, yes! That is the only truth, sir.”

“No way. Aren’t you just lying in order to protect her?”

“I really am not, sir! You wouldn’t know how surprised I was when she suddenly disappeared overnight.”

When he looked at Amanda’s face that was close to tears, he didn’t feel like it was another lie. However, if that was the case then, Knox’s heart became much more frustrated in return.

She didn’t even inform her close friend? That’s just impossible. I absolutely can’t let her cut all ties like this.

“Whether you’re telling the truth or not, I’m sure that everything will turn out later—after I have it investigated.”

Amanda’s face immediately turned blue at Knox’s words.

“Then, I’ll ask you the last question. Do you know where her relatives are?”

“That’s…”

Amanda hesitated for a moment, which made Knox slam his hand against the armrest as he couldn’t wait for it any longer.

Bang!

Shocked by the sudden sound, Amanda plopped down on the ground. Since she could no longer fathom what was going on with her friend now, she quickly bowed her head deeply.

“It-it’s been such a long time ever since Vivi lived alone due to her family’s death by a disease. I heard that she started working right after her little brother had passed away, but then, she even had lost her parents as well. I’m only telling you the truth, sir.”

“……”

He wanted to deny that. However, the moment when the word, little brother, had escaped from Amanda’s lips, he couldn’t deny it anymore.

“You don’t know.”

“Pardon?”

“……You don’t even know where she could possibly run to?”

Knox’s quivering voice eventually made Amanda raise her head, albeit slowly.

His face was still akin to a furious beast, but it was a tad bit different from earlier. The softened atmosphere ultimately made it easier for her to talk.

Perhaps the Grand Duke was actually quite different from what Vivi had told me. Unlike her worries, maybe he would just do something different. However, Amanda, who took a glance at the Grand Duke’s side, shook her head slowly.

“Forgive me, sir—but I really don’t know.”

Knox tried to say something but he decided to seal his lips tightly. Amanda was surprised when he abruptly rose from his seat, nevertheless, he just walked past her before stepping out after that.

He didn’t really realize how he had arrived at the Grand Duchy. When he finally regained his senses, he was already in front of the gate of his very own mansion.

As soon as Knox stepped in, the butler quickly greeted him.

“Have you put up the commission?”

“Yes, however…”

“However?”

When he met with Knox’s piercing gaze, the butler unconsciously flinched in response. It hadn’t been his first time to receive such a murderous gaze from his master, but the fear still crept in—instinctively.

“……the content was too abstract.”

“Are you saying that they would be unable to find her even though we have provided them with a name and appearance?”

“That is…”

The butler, who was studying his reaction for a while, could hardly speak up.

“……they said that it might be quite hard to find her.”

Ha—Knox gritted his teeth.

“Do you believe in the words of those who have only declared and still haven’t been trying to find her seriously?”

“N-no, sir.”

“Next time, just cut off the tongues of those who recklessly asserted something like, they couldn’t really find her. I don’t care how much they’re asking. I can grant them no matter what they want, so just command them to find her—at all costs.”

“……Yes, sir.”

The butler eventually left and Knox, on the other hand, entered his room alone before staring vacantly at the bed.
