IDMH - Chapter 8
I Decided My Husband
As Chernosor was still staying at the Duke's residence, the Ghellan couple needed to stop him, but they had no intention of condoning their atrocities.
The Ghellan couple, who were called to the main hall late at night, were proud. Just looking at that action. It seemed like the man had framed the Ghellan couple.
Which one is it? I leaned on the railing with two steps left and looked down at them.
When I just stared at her in silence, my aunt seemed to sense something strange and asked me carefully.
"What did you call us for?"
"My aunt would know better."
My aunt tilted her head.
"I know better? Well, I can't guess anything at all."
"A little while ago, a man sneaked into my bedroom. He was to intend to rape me."
"Ah, Lady!"
Hanes was startled by my words and called to me. The same was true for other employees and the Ghellan couple.
What was different was that the Ghellan couple had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
"Wow, something really big happened."
Ghellan said in a very sad tone.
"Still, I'm glad nothing happened. So, did you catch that shameless bastard?"
"Of course I caught him. He is now detained in the room."
"Okay....... ?"
It seemed like I was the only one who saw the corners of Ghellan's eyes tremble slightly. I smiled faintly and leaned diagonally on the stair railing.
"But he told an interesting story."
"Interesting... story?"
"Yes. Hey, say it was all done by the uncle."
Ghellan's mouth opened wide. My aunt was also very surprised and her eyes widened.
"That's a lie!"
Ghellan came towards me and hurriedly shouted.
"It's all a lie! You are my precious niece, there is no way I would do something like that!"
"Is that so?"
Then, it seems like that bastard used some strange trick to marry you. Don't be fooled by the words of such a conman, Adele."
"Yes, your uncle is right."
My aunt followed Ghellan's words and came forward.
"You should trust us, your family, more than him who are strangers."
"There are cases where one family is more important than others."
"Yes?"
"It's nothing. Anyway, you're saying you two have never done anything like that?"
The couple nodded vigorously. I continued speaking, getting up from where I was leaning on the railing.
"Then let's ask others as well. I wonder if you know anything or where you heard it."
When I first glanced at my aunt, it seemed like she really didn't know anything.
They were shocked and embarrassed when I told them that an uninvited guest had come into the bedroom.
Considering the reactions, it seemed like the Ghellans had no idea that something like that was going to happen today.
However, this did not mean that they were innocent.
Predictably, the Ghellan couple simply encouraged the man and did not get involved in anything else. The advantage of this method is that you can withdraw your foot at a dangerous moment.
On the other hand, there was a big disadvantage that if the man did not make a plan and execute it, everything would go to waste.
Therefore, it was highly likely that the Ghellan couple also stabbed other people to increase their chances of success.
"Now, wait a minute!"
I was about to go to the annex to check if my prediction was correct, but Gelean hurriedly grabbed my arm.
"It's so late, are you going to the annex now? I think that would be too inconvenient for the guests."
"Now that the incident has occurred, there is nothing we can do. People will understand. Of course, I will politely ask for their understanding and apologize."
"But......"
Unlike the first time, Ghellan couldn't look me in the eyes and continued to look at the ground.
"Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely clear Uncle's name."
I smiled and held Ghellan's hand tightly.
"And I will severely punish the man who dared to frame you and the person who manipulated that man from behind, so uncle, please wait here without any worries."
***
The Ghellan couple encouraged so many people that everyone who asked them answered that it was the Ghellan couple who did it.
With this, it became clear that the Ghellan couple were the latter. After everything was revealed, the Ghellan couple pretended to be pitiful and asked for my forgiveness.
"There was no malice, Adele. We just gave you a hint that the person you spent the night with was likely to be a Duke."
"Okay. It meant that it was important to please me, not that he should sneak into the bedroom and rape me. If you had such good intentions, why did you hide it in the first place?"
"I'm afraid you might have some strange misunderstanding. Our hearts, do you understand? We are family. If you don't understand your family, who will understand you?"
I heard I've seen this scene before. It was exactly the same as what Ghellan had done to my mother so long ago.
Even back then, I complained about the fact that we were family and asked what I would do if my family didn't understand me.
Several years have passed since then, but how has nothing changed?
They say that if a person changes suddenly, he or she dies, but Ghellan needs to change.
"Adele, please."
"Do not worry. Because I fully understand your feelings."
"Really?"
Ghellan smiled happily. Will he still be able to laugh after seeing this?
"Sure. We are family. So, will you please understand my feelings, uncle?"
When I gestured, the workers placed their luggage bags next to them. The knights of the family surrounded us.
Ghellan's eyes rolled quickly as if he was trying to understand the situation.
My aunt clung to Ghellan's side with a slightly frightened look on her face.
"Adele, what is all this?"
"Well, anyway. I'm trying to get you both out of the Duke's residence."
"What?"
"Oh, I made a mistake. It is not from the Duke's residence but from the Duchy of Leopold. Please pack your bags and leave."
Hearing what I said, the Ghellan couple looked at me with a look of shock on their faces. It seemed like they had no idea why they had to leave the territory.
How can you be so shameless? There was a reason why my parents ignored Ghellan.
"Adele, I did it all with you in mind, but isn't it too much to kick us out?"
"Okay. This seems like too much. We should also be given a chance to make up for our mistakes. I'm giving you a chance now."
I pointed to the luggage bag.
"Get out. That is the only way to make up for your mistakes."
"After all the effort we've put in for you, do you have to do this because we only made one mistake?"
"Effort? What on earth did you say?"
I tilted my head.
"You put a courtship ad in the newspaper? Or did you extort money from customers who came to see the courtship advertisement under the pretext of matchmaking?"
Ghellan flinched greatly. He was surprised that I knew he had stolen money.
"On top of that, you encouraged people to rape me. You put scented candles mixed with paralyzing scent in my bedroom."
"That's a misunderstanding..."
"Are you going to stop throwing your flippers if I gather all the people you encouraged in one place and ask them to testify?"
Ghellan kept his mouth shut, wondering if that was the case. They know full well that if they make a big deal out of it, they will be at a disadvantage.
"You have committed a mistake and are being kicked out of the territory. So don't even dream about coming back."
"Adele!"
"If you enter the territory, I will charge you for trespassing and throw you in jail."
In my last life, I warned Ghellan in advance to prevent the atrocities he committed in Leopold's territory.
"I'm afraid someone might say that you're not the same as your mother, so you look exactly like her."
Ghellan glared at me with bloodshot eyes.
"I tolerated it all this time because I felt sorry for you losing your parents at a young age, but how dare you try to match me?"
"Is there any reason not to?"
"What?"
"I am higher in status and position. My uncle is not better than me in any way, so I asked you because I was curious if there was any reason why I shouldn't."
"You! You!"
The veins drawn in Ghellan's eyes became clearer.
He raised his hand high as if he wanted to hit me, but he was caught and couldn't even lay a finger on me.
"Why can't you let go right now! I am her maternal uncle and Duchess Leopold's younger brother!"
Ghellan screamed and struggled.
"But how dare you touch my body? Why can't I let go right now!"
But the knights didn't budge. He was holding Ghellan silently with an expression that made him wonder where the dog was barking.
Everyone looked at Ghellan with cheerful faces. It was a moment when I could see how much the Ghellan couple had harassed the employees.
"Do you think you can eat well and live well even if you abandon your blood relatives? You're welcome! You will definitely be ruined! You'll end up wandering the streets looking miserable!"
How can you introduce yourself so well? He was just amazed that there was something he was good at too.
I was getting tired of listening to Ghellan's bullshit.
The moment I was about to tell the drivers to just drag me out. Suddenly, the main building door opened and a man came trotting inside.
The dusty cloak shook every time he walked. He must have been in a hurry, so his hair was disheveled.
"You will regret this moment, Adele. You will regret abandoning your family...Wow!"
The man struck Ghellan on the back of his neck as he continued to talk nonsense, knocking him out. Ghellan's body went limp.
"Honey!"
My aunt screamed and ran to Ghellan.
The man ignored my aunt and came towards me. Then he placed his hand on his chest and bowed politely.
His silver hair, which seemed to melt the moonlight, gently swayed as he nodded.
"Lady, Aldor Shanktys. I came back after hearing the news of the head of the family's death."
