“I’m curious about my father.”
“...”
“Because I want to know who gave birth to me.”
He thought no matter what was said, he'd just snort.
It was a strange thing.
He felt like he had been hit hard in the chest with a bullet, and he couldn't breathe.
Theano could feel his pulse quickening and his heart beating wildly.
“Were you curious about your father?”
"Yes."
At that time, Theano suddenly became curious about the woman who had raised this man.
“So, is your mother still in the Hills?”
“No, she passed away.”
At those words, Theano had no choice but to control his expression.
“That’s a shame.”
“Yes, it’s a shame. Otherwise, we would have come together.”
Lucian Meyer smiled as if it were someone else's business.
His handsome face, smooth as marble, rather gave off a cool vibe.
“What is that?”
Theano knew full well that Lucian's words were nothing more than empty boasts.
He remembered clearly how he had abandoned her and how she had accepted him.
'Is it possible that she would have said something like that to this child?'
Theano swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
No, she wouldn't have done it.
If that were the case, Lucian wouldn't have been able to call his father with a smiling face like this.
It was when Theano was lost in his past thoughts and had a confused expression on his face.
Lucian Meyer spoke in an elegant voice.
"Of course I'm joking, Father. Mother never wanted to cause you any trouble, whether alive or dead."
“...”
“But I am different.”
Lucian wiped the smile from his lips in an instant and continued speaking.
“It was my mother’s choice to give birth to me without a father.”
His eyes were gleaming like those of a wild beast.
"I couldn't choose anything. Half of my body has my father's blood flowing through it. My mother raised me for twenty years, so my father will have to take responsibility for the rest."
The heavy word "responsibility" made Theano's heart sink.
At that moment, Theano was certain that Lucian Meyer had not come to see him simply because he wanted to see him.
Plus, it's not because of the money.
And that premonition was spot on.
"I'm a doctor. I'd like to work with my father. Please allow me to enter the clinic."
“That won’t do.”
Theano gave a reflexive answer.
Then, his face became flustered as if he had nothing good to say.
“What I mean is, I can’t suddenly have you work in a clinic.”
Theano was a doctor who was respected by everyone for his outstanding medical skills.
Thanks to that, he was able to become Ravielli's guardian, but it would have been difficult if word suddenly spread that an unidentified son had come to visit.
"Oh, dear. I guess the rumor of your son's sudden appearance won't be very beneficial to you, Father."
“...”
Lucian Meyer turned his head, glanced around the mansion, and spoke again.
“But it won’t be easy to silence the servants.”
Theano shook his head at Lucian's words.
"No, they consider working in this mansion a blessing. They know full well what will happen if someone dares to speak out."
Lucian realized that Theano was building his own kingdom.
"Yes."
"It's not a flaw for a man to have a mistress, but it was something that happened a dozen years ago, when I was young and reckless. And it's perhaps a source of pride that the mistress's son has grown into a respectable young man."
Judging by the longer-than-necessary speech, Lucian seemed to know what he was trying to say.
"I'm tired enough just of people talking about my medical skills. So for the time being..."
As Theano's voice died down, Lucian Meyer continued perceptively.
“Let’s do it with a relative from far away. Just as Father wishes.”
He answered, deliberately emphasizing the word father.
"Good."
Theano stared at the young man's face for a moment, then went into the mansion.
The reason he didn't remarry after his wife died a long time ago was that he liked free sex.
But as he grew older, he began to yearn for children.
Despite people's doubts, the reason he brought Ravielli Lewin was on the surface out of pity and regret, but in fact, it was because of her youth and beauty.
He hoped to take her under the guise of a guardian.
Giving birth to a cute, blonde baby who resembles her. Filling the air with the baby's laughter during the day and Ravielli's moans at night.
And building a complete kingdom in the mansion was what he had been dreaming about the most recently.
But everything felt wrong.
Theano stood in the hallway, motionless for a while.
'It's been a long time since I've felt this awful.'
“The reason I called you in a hurry is.”
Theano didn't want to continue this conversation for long.
He quickly got down to business.
“As the guardian of Ravielli Lewin, I have a great and heavy sense of responsibility for that child.”
It's a story about Ravielli.
Lucian drooled inwardly, but his face remained expressionless.
“It is my duty to take good care of that child and then find her a good match.”
"Yes."
“Of course, after she gets married, I will only be able to show my face if the child lives well without any complaints.”
Lucian wondered what the man was trying to say by beating around the bush, but he had no idea.
“So, don’t think of your father as frivolous because of what I’m about to say.”
"Yes."
When Lucian gave a short answer, Theano wiped his dry mouth with his thick hand and continued speaking.
“There’s nothing more important to a woman than having a child. Just in case... I called the midwife to check, and she said the child is currently unable to have children due to an obstetric condition.”
At that moment, Lucian thought of Ravielli's shoulders and arms, so gaunt that the word "withered" was apt.
“Is this a serious illness?”
“No, it’s not serious. The midwife said it could get better with treatment.”
Theano was determined not to tell Lucian the truth, even if he received help.
Because of his insensitivity, he couldn't bring himself to ask for his son's help.
“...”
“Because I want to know who gave birth to me.”
He thought no matter what was said, he'd just snort.
It was a strange thing.
He felt like he had been hit hard in the chest with a bullet, and he couldn't breathe.

Theano was determined not to tell Lucian the truth, even if he received help.
Because of his insensitivity, he couldn't bring himself to ask for his son's help.
He hated the idea of borrowing Lucian's hand to the point of death. But there was no other way.
He thought about paying someone to do it, but it was better to handle this within the family.
Besides, the fact that the guy was a doctor gave him a strange sense of relief.
'He's a doctor, so I guess I can trust him more.'
Theano found it absurd that he had to acknowledge Lucian as family in this way.
“Since my father is skilled in medicine, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Lucian responded dryly.
Until he heard that, he had no idea why this cunning old man had come to him.
Furthermore-
'No guardian cares about the pregnancy of the child they care for. It's terrible.'
Moreover, the sight of Theano calmly hiding his sinister intentions made Lucian feel sick.
"You must apply this medicine to her vagina every day for two weeks without fail. It is said that it is only effective when applied to a man's finger."
“...”
"But I have to go to Austria tomorrow morning. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lucian looked at the vial Theano was holding with dry eyes.
"Yes."
After that, Theano sent Lucian up, explaining at length the ingredients of the medicine, how much effort had been put into obtaining it, and how to apply it.
Lucian didn't seem surprised or embarrassed by Theano's words.
It was both a relief and a bit awkward at the same time.
Besides, he was a young man, even though he was called a son.
A very attractive man, not just any ordinary man.
Theano couldn't believe Ravielli, not Lucian.
Isn't she a woman who has an indifferent look on her face, so you can't tell what she's thinking?
After struggling for a while, Theano finally called out to Mage.
“While I am away from the mansion, take good care of your master.”
"Yes?"
"Every night, Lucian will visit your master's room. Keep a close eye on what they do and report back to me without fail."
Mage, who had heard that far, nodded with a pale face.
She couldn't fully understand her master's orders, but she couldn't ask what was going on.
"Do you understand if any groans leak through the crack in the door, and how long it takes my son to enter and exit Ravielli's room?"
All she can do is bow her head and answer cautiously.
“Yes, master.”
He thought about paying someone to do it, but it was better to handle this within the family.
Besides, the fact that the guy was a doctor gave him a strange sense of relief.
