Just because it was during the celebration period of the empire’s foundation<sup> a weak-hearted Claudia and wouldn’t fall off like a bed bug.
She didn’t have anything but a sly tongue and just got lucky.
Count Chamberlain wasn’t a fool and didn’t accept her as a member of the family.
Benjamin, however, smiled silently, as if he was laughing at Lucas’s ignorance.
“The people of the family would give Claudia a liver or a gallbladder if she asked for it.”
“……Huh? No matter how much his daughter cares about her, she’s not a foster daughter.”
“Didn’t you know? Since Claudia became acquainted with Irene Amber, the Count’s arms and legs have become worse as he’s been running around. Rather than ask to be a foster daughter, if she asked for marriage, she will go to a country where same-sex marriage is legal and have a wedding ceremony.”
“You’re making a terrible joke.”
“Do you think I’d make a joke about this?”
“…… ”
Was Irene Amber such an influential person? Enough to allow same-sex marriage?
Lucas showed signs of confusion as he recalled Hugo Chamberlain whom he originally knew.
“Even if the family’s prestige falls to the bottom? They’ll be plagued with scandals and criticized for the rest of their life.”
“It seems, Irene Amber, makes her happy enough to want to endure that.”

“What the hell is that supposed to be?”

“Is she a witch?”
“No way. She’s an ordinary self-made young child.”
As if Benjamin found it funny, he didn’t erase the smile that played on his lips.
