The Troublemaker Daughter of the Grand Duke Wants To Live Alone

Chapter 84

"Father."

Aiden, who discovered the light first, called Estin. Only then did Estin raise his head and look at the light. Estin stared blankly before opening his mouth.

"I think it's asking us to follow it."

"Is that really the case?"

"Hmm."

"Perhaps they're attempting to mislead us,"

The words of Aiden made sense. But Estin was pressed for time. He was too exhausted to think critically.

"Let's go for now."

"Lucas, as I said before, take the Knights to the mansion for the time being."

Aiden and Estin disappeared after following the light. Only Lucas, who had been left behind, was perplexed. It was because he had never seen them make such rash decisions before. Lucas, however, was aware. He would have followed the light right away if it hadn't been for Aiden's order.

"Please."

Please keep the young miss safe.

It was freezing cold.

Mary was unable to shed a tear. She was afraid that if she cried, her face would become frozen. The knight leading her to her exile glanced at her and clicked his tongue. Mary pretended not to hear anything.

She felt as though the wind was clinging to her body. Demimore told Mary that she has poison in her heart, not love, and looked at her with disdain. He squeezed Astina's slender shoulders at the same time. Mary wanted to ask back. What do you then have? Demimore and Astina's appearance was obscured by her tears. She was unable to see Astina's expression as she looked at her. Was it also filled with disdain as Demimore, or is she acting sweet or pitiful once more.

She immediately thought of her family's faces. Despite working so arduously and painstakingly for nine years to find her, her father and brothers, who had lost her the moment she was born, didn't care for her. Do they harbor sympathy for her? She spent her early years in a deplorable orphanage where she was denied everything she deserved.

Orphanage? It was there that she first met Astina, whom she hated. Her smile shines as if she were the sunshine in the gloomy orphanage, lifting the yellow dust up. Finally, she drove her to a place where there was no sunlight. Taking away everything she has.

Where did it go wrong?

It's strange how she wasn't remorseful or reflective. Simply put, she was extremely curious. Where did everything go wrong, and where should she start looking back? Mary raised her gaze to the sky. Clouds filled the sky.

Just like Demimore and Astina's last images.

Then the scene changed.

There was a lake. It was a lake surrounded by tranquility. Except for one side, the lake was surrounded by thick bushes. On the other side, there was a mowed meadow with a temple.

Temple? Is that a temple?

With pillars forming a circular chapel, the two white stone buildings were set back from one another. A laurel tree was located nearby. A man could be seen pacing behind the tree.

The man continued to focus on the temple. It was a lonely and persistent gaze. The man, who had only been staring, made his way slowly toward the temple as the surrounding area grew darker.

It wasn't long before the lonely, unwavering gaze became depressing. The laurel uttered a somber sound.

Again, it's that scene.
