Then the maid opened the door, and Irene walked in.
“Do you understand, Dad? When Irene comes………”
Riel, who was talking intimately to the count, became surprised upon seeing Irene enter the dining room.
“Good morning.”
“Ahem!”
Her parents became uneasy when Irene greeted them. As expected, a cold silence ensued in the room the moment Irene appeared.
“Sister!” Riel stood up and greeted Irene.
Irene just looked at her with a cold expression. Riel paused for a moment and then talked with a cautious smile.
“You don’t have to be sorry.”
“……What?”
“It’s not your fault that I became sick yesterday. So, if you’re feeling sorry…….”
“Why should I feel sorry to you?”
“Irene!”
Count Chase appeared irritated. He could not stand Irene’s answer towards his beloved younger daughter, so he stood up and shouted at her. Countess Chase who sat beside him just breathed a deep sigh, frustrated by the situation. Riel quickly tried to passify the count.
“Dad, you promised me to not be angry. I’m fine.”
“Riel, you must be mistaken.” Irene spoke in a subdued voice.“Why are you acting like a victim?”
“Sist..”
“Irene! How can you talk like that to your younger sister?”
“Please don’t ruin the mood and just sit down, Irene.”
The countess’s exhausted voice can be heard after the count’s shout at Irene. Meanwhile, Riel has a wounded look on her face while her shoulder was shaking. This whole situation pierced Irene’s heart.
But this time, Irene did not back down. No, she would also not back down in the future.
“You were the one who was kissing my fiance, but why are you pretending to be a victim?”
“That’s…..”
With Irene’s word, Riel became taken aback and stuttered her answer. Their parents looked back in surprise at Riel as if they didn’t know the truth.
“Is that true Riel?”
“I’m sorry Dad…”
When Riel admitted that, Count Chase’s face became distorted.
“Why did you do that? How could you kiss your sister’s fiance?”
“It’s because I was jealous of her.”
“What do you mean by that, Riel?”
The countess carefully asked Riel. Tears welled up in Riel’s purple eyes. The count must have felt sorry for Riel because he was the one who bombarded her with the question suddenly, so he wiped away Riel’s tears.

With that touch, Riel burst into tears once again and fell down to the floor. They became startled and hugged her. Irene just watched that situation with an expressionless face.
“Because I’m weak and can’t go outside, I have no chance to meet other people, so I’ve never been in a relationship. That’s why I’m jealous of her. I’m sorry that Boris keeps seducing me. I’m sorry, sister…”
“Yes, I understand what you mean, so get up from the floor. The floor is cold.”
“Somebody, bring me a blanket!”
The countess cried whilst ordering a maid to quickly bring a thick blanket and carefully wrapped Riel. They carefully assisted Riel as if they were dealing with a fragile glass that can break anytime. And just like that, the matter involving Irene’s fiance has swept under the table.
