　But Nancy, whom I met again after several years, was clearly tired.

　Her hair and skin were unkempt, her eyes lacked strength, and she was not well groomed.

　She was wearing a long skirt and blouse, which is not unusual in a castle town, but her clothes were also dirty.

　She may be trying to have skinship with Nancy, but she feels disgusted, as if a snake were coiling around her, and she shakes off Nancy's hand.

"Come on, I'm your mother. You don't have to be so mean to me."

　Frankly, I don't even want to have this conversation.

I don't want to hear excuses or anything. I'm busy, what can I do for you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I need to speak to your husband.

Please, Fran!

　Most of them may be naively thinking that my father will forgive them if they keep making excuses and apologizing to him, but I won't let them.

　Fran, as well as Delight, have already put Nancy in the past.

"--what?"

It wouldn't look good for him to be single, would it?　So, you know?"

"...... don't be silly."

　Fran shivered with anger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She had never imagined that the day would come when she would be so angry with her birth parents.

　She resisted the urge to punch the woman in front of her, and instead raised her voice.

"Don't play with me!　How shocked your father was when you left!　If you're my wife, you should support me!　How dare you show your face now after running away!"

"And I was young then, so I'm making amends now."

"I'm telling you, I know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you doing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And that you became the wife of a merchant. And that you were driven away by a young mistress, and driven out of your home with your children. ...... From the looks of you, I'd say you're living a poor life."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right!　Fran's brother has no clothes to wear and has trouble eating. So please, let the master welcome him back."

"Shut up!"

　Fran's anger grows at his brazenness.

　Abandoning her family to marry into a merchant family, having children, and being kicked out by her lover were all consequences of Nancy's choices.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Delight should not have to clean up the mess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't have a brother!　I don't care who you have children with!

"--Fran!　Don't you have any feelings at all?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You left your father and took up with a man too soon!　You married your father for his position and money!

"What's wrong with that?　Not all noble marriages are like that!"

　When Nancy finally reopened her mouth, Fran laughed at her and said, "You know, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry to hear that. Your father gets offers of marriage every day. And not with an old lady like you, but with a well bred young girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, no. They're probably just girls offered up by families looking for money and power!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So you don't tell me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even a marriage with an ulterior motive to take advantage of my father's position and his marriage is better than being back with this woman.

Do you think there are other women who can make you happy besides me?
