He looked at the captain of the guard again and didnât want to face their wrath, so he turned the carriage to the marquis estate. When he returned to the mansion, the butlers and employees were already bending over as if they were touching the ground and looking at the marquis.
âWhat the hell is going on?! I told you not to let anyone in.â
At the scolding of the Marquis, the butler first handed out the documents he received from the security captain. The Marquis carefully examined the documents, but there were no gaps in the content.
It was clear that there was a servant like him working in his house, and he said he would search the servantsâ quarters and warehouses, not the aristocratsâ bedrooms and study⌠In other words, the justification for rejection was halved.
They came at a time when I wasnât aroundâŚ
The Marquis of Wenson realized that Rowena was behind this while grinding his teeth because it was a dirty trick. He wondered if the little girl could already make such a trick, but he had an ability to implement it.
It was clear that Rowena had planned it as soon as she got the information that Liliana had been caught.
âYouâre really ruining my family!â
Whether Rowena was great or not had nothing to do with him. If Rowena was his daughter, he might have left the marquis title to her⌠His daughter was Liliana.
Bad woman. Is it not enough to take the Crown Prince from Liliana?
Having children of Suin people, he thought no aristocratic family would look at Liliana as a marriage partner. Kian was technically just a little mixed with Suin blood, but for Marquis Wenson, that wasnât important.
The Marquis suspected that Rowena was so persistently on his familyâs back that she noticed that he tried to hire an assassin to kill her.
It was Rowena who found out within a few days that he had taken Liliana back. If she had that ability, she seemed to know that he was the one who sent the assassin.
The Marquis who grinded his teeth at the thought of Rowena, but when he thought about it there, he suddenly became afraid.
He hadnât been captured by the Imperial family yet, so it seemed that there was only information, but no physical evidence⌠It was unclear how far Rowena, who carried the Crown Prince, would retaliate.
To mock me, I rather let the Suin man marry Liliana and put them in the capital!
Suddenly, in the Marquisâ mind, the thought of killing both the Suin person and Liliana came to mind. If it was a child, a child could be born again.
But Liliana⌠She is my daughterâŚ
Still, the Marquis of Wenson had more affection for his daughter than Paul. Although he was agonizing over it, his face hardened when he thought about a mixed-race child who was in Lilianaâs stomach.
Marquis Wensonâs grandchild came into the world mixed with the blood of a dirty manâŚâŚ The mere thought of it made him sick.
Not yet. Liliana was always an obedient and kind childâŚâŚ One more chance will be given.
The Marquis decided that he should enter the palace as soon as the day broke.

When the Crown Prince came forward, things were really fast.
Although Rowena wanted to bring Liliana right away, she didnât know that she would be able to bring her on the same day. By tomorrow at the earliest? If that wasnât possible, she thought it would be possible only after holding a banquet worthy of the Marquisâ attendance.
âI havenât saved Lili completely yet. If the temple declares Liliana and Kianâs marriage irrevocable, and the Marquis gives up killing KianâŚâ
âThe Marquis never gives up. He will definitely try to kill your friendâs husband.â
Cecil had been trying to get rid of the aristocracyâs hatred of the Suin people for a long time. However, hatred of oneself and others was difficult to get rid of.
In fact, the Suin people were better at physical ability and resilience than humans, but the perception that they were slaves practiced by the magicians of the tower didnât disappear.
It was only 400 years ago, even though Suin slavery itself was illegal now.
With the aristocratsâ eyes like this, such discrimination was widespread among the common people. Of course, after the birth of Count Krimeyer more than a decade ago, the perception seemed to be improving.
âIs it impossible to persuade the marquis?â
âThe Marquis thinks heâs right, so he wonât accept it. I heard he was trying to miscarry her daughter and kill his son-in-law. Thereâs no way heâll change his mind. Even if he changes his mind, it might be temporary.â
ââŚâ
He only talked about it for a while, but Liliana was thinking the same thing. Thatâs why she ran away without even thinking about trying to convince the marquis about her relationship with Kian.
The Marquis was a man who wouldnât accept even if Kian was an ordinary knight.
If Kian wasnât mixed with Suin, he wouldnât have the resilience⌠He would probably be dead.
Liliana would have stayed alone and tried to live raising Kianâs child. However, it was highly likely that the marquis would take the child away and marry her away again.
âBut I canât let Liliana and Kian live under the Marquis for the rest of their lives.â
âAfter giving birth to a child, they can run away to another country⌠They can get a new status and hide in the countryside. Of course, Liliana Wensonâs face is famous, so I donât know if itâs possible.â
If Cecil had been in Lilianaâs position, he would have made an appropriate excuse to bring the Marquis down. He would either imprison him or take away all power, and he would only bond with the person he loved.
