Meanwhile, the relationship between Claudio and his daughter was getting worse day by day.
"Birna! You can eat food comfortably while your brother looks like that!"
"Mom! What did I do wrong?"
"Madam, Miss. Both of you, calm down..."
Even though they finally had some time alone together, the mother and daughter's conversation quickly headed towards a breakdown.
The maids were trembling between the two murderous women.
"Why is everyone picking on me!?"
Birna was getting irritated. It was the worst.
"Samon. Samon. Samon. I'm so sick of this! Please stop now. What else can I do?"
The sound of dishes clashing sharply struck their ears.
A pair of eyes full of resentment turned toward Catherine.
The disabled brother was the tyrant of the family.
If his mood went to extremes and he got upset, he would invariably be met with vicious insults and slaps.
Recently, the scope has expanded, and when Marieu, who takes care of him, reported on one of the maids' actions, he slapped her on the spot.
The maids were constantly complaining as they had to please his mistress, even though it was difficult to keep up with just one Samon.
"Young Master. Even so, wouldn't it be a good idea to stop telling me to treat a commoner girl like a madam?"
The old chief maid, who could no longer stand by and watch, took up arms and went out to tell him the truth, which was the cause of the trouble.
"Oh my, maid. You've treated my words like gold your whole life, but now that I've become like this, you seem easygoing?"
"Young Master, there has been a misunderstanding. I just..."
"If I have to live, I will live. If I have to die, I will die. How dare you act like you don't know your place!"
Samon's anger and sense of entitlement were no exception even to the head maid who had been with him for over a decade.
The head maid knew Samon Claudio, who was born into royal blood and ruled arrogantly over people his entire life.
She is also the one who watches over Peleus during the same time.
Something boiled inside Samon as he thought that the head maid's wrinkled eyes were comparing the noble Peleus of old with his current, pitiful downfall.
So, Samon swung whatever he could get his hands on. With Catherine and Joaquin out of the way, no one could stop him.
When his reason returned, the head maid had already died.
Rattle.
Seeing the bloody iron bar rolling on the floor. Samon realized belatedly that it was a cane.
"Lord... Master..."
"Get out! I mean, get out! I'll kill you all too!"
"Darling. It's okay. Calm down."
Marieu hugged Samon and tried to calm his excitement.
But his twisted anger, which had already lost its reins once, eventually reached even his beloved sister, Birna.
A few days ago, at the suggestion of Birna that it was too much to be at to death the long-time maid who had been by his side, he suddenly rushed at her like a madman and strangled her
.
"What do you know, you little b*stard...! How dare you... when you've only been receiving all your life...!"
"Ugh... Samon, why are you like this... Come to your senses!"
It was then that Birna felt the fear of death for the first time.
Although Samon wasn't very affectionate, his brother was affectionate in his own way, but after that day, Samon became a completely different person.
"Simon tried to kill me! Mom saw it too!"
"You understand. Samon is very sick right now."
Even though she had clearly heard what had happened that day, Catherine tried to comfort Birna dryly.
"Let's just think about the most important thing. You want your brother to recover quickly, too. Please help your poor mother out a little, Birna."
However, as her daughter showed no signs of calming down, Catherine also began to grow increasingly angry.
Even without that, her head was already in a lot of pain because the son of the chief maid who had died not long ago kept threatening to report this.
She had to take over for the head maid and order the servants who left one by one to keep their mouths shut and organize the messy house.
She also had to figure out a way to revive her son's leg, both inside and outside the continent.
She also had to find a pretext that his son had nothing to do with the explosion that day so that he wouldn't be caught by the investigation team that was still searching for the culprit with their eyes wide open.
Catherine rubbed her temples.
It felt like a heavy rock was pressing down on her head.
"Birna, you should have been careful with your words. You know your brother is sensitive right now, so why are you bringing up the past and making this mess of things?"
"Mom! What does that mean?!"
When Birna screamed at Catherine for suddenly revealing her true feelings, Catherine also got angry.
"Stop it! What are you so upset about? Your legs aren't even cut off, and you're standing on your own two feet. What's so frustrating about that! Yes?"
The anger eventually led to guilt and regret towards his son.
"Your brother tried to raise a family and ended up like that, but what did you do to deserve such a fight? Birna! Where are you going now!"
Eventually, Birna, who could no longer bear it, was the first to leave.
Thump, thump.
Her rough, angry footsteps echoed through the hallway.
"I'm so sick of it! I hate it all, I hate it all!"
Birna was about to run away, clutching her chest in frustration as if she was going to give up.
"Birna? Where are you going?"
Birna ran Into Raju, who was just entering the mansion.
"..."
Reddened eyes, ragged breathing, and even cracked lips from biting to hold back anger.
Raju, sensing something unusual, stopped her.
"Huh? What's going on, with this old man-"
"Yeah! Just get out! You love that foolish girl so much that you call her your daughter!"
At that moment, Catherine's scream was heard from afar.
Raju frowned as if he knew what she was talking about.
Claudio and his daughter's arguments have become a daily occurrence.
He lowered his eyes and caught Birna as she tried to pass by.
"Where are you going at this hour? Your mother will be worried."
"Ha! Didn't you hear what I just said? Mom doesn't care! She only cares about Samon, and she wouldn't even blink an eye if I were to be killed on the street!"
Birna burst into a shrill cry.
When Raju saw that sight, his heart also started to boil.
'What did this child do wrong?'
You've been targeting only my daughter all along.
After Samon's accident, the chaotic situation at home left Birna almost neglected.
Raju felt both heartbroken and angry at the thought that the evildoers were all his own daughters and that the damage was being done to them.
"Let's do this. How about going to this old man's house?"
"The godfather's house?"
"Yes. Anyway, I have to stay out all night for work today. So no one will bother you. You can stay there as long as you want and then come back."
It was a pity that Birna was trapped in this small mansion because of the attention of people.
"..."
Birna would normally have snorted.
But now that she was in a state of confusion after being strangled by her older brother, she wanted to get out of this corner of the house right away.
"... Then, please give me a moment."
"Then, of course. Kay, you take care of the Young Lady. There shouldn't be any inconvenience during her brief stay at the mansion. Do you understand?"
"Yes, master."
Raju blushed as he read Birna's expression of refusal.
He was so happy that he even sent his close secretary, who he rarely let go of, to be with Birna.
