Elina, unable to say anything, stands there in a daze. There was no way to say anything , so Leolde tried to take Sylvia back to the venue of the party, but Sylvia left Leolde and went to Elina.
"Your Highness?""
"Sir Leolde . I'm sorry. I'd like to talk to lady Elina, so could you please put up a soundproof barrier?"
". I understand."
Leolde didn't even ask what Sylvia was going to tell , he just granted her wish and put up a soundproof barrier around the two of them.
"Your Highness, ......?""
Elina, who was stunned, was bewildered by Sylvia and the soundproof barrier. The discussion with Leolde was over. She was confused why Sylvia wanted to talk to her , then.
"I didn't really want to talk to you, but I felt sorry for you, so I will. Sir Leolde is apologizing to the people he once hurt for the sins he committed."
"What ......? But he never said anything like that."
"Did you believe him when he said that? Wouldn't you have denied it out of hand?"
"No, that's ......."
"You don't believe me, do you? But believe it or not, Leolde is not the kind of person who would talk about such things. In fact, only a few people know that him . He went around bowing to the victims.
"How do you know this, Your Highness? Did he tell you that directly?"
"No. I didn't know about it either until I heard about it in a report. Sir Leolde is now an important person in the country. That's why we have been keeping a close watch on him in order to keep track of his movements. During the surveillance, Leolde bowed to the victims. Of course, only a few of them would forgive him . Most of them vented their bitterness and resentment him . Some of them were even violent.
"That's a ...... lie ......."
"It's not a lie. It's all true. And he has been very generous with his financial support.
"And Count Vanessa?"
Incredulous, Elina asks Sylvia about Clarice, who was the most affected.
"I'm sorry to say that Count Vanessa and I have a feud, so Sir Leolde is only indirectly helping her. He said it was the only thing he could do. ......"
The Duchess of Harvest has already apologized for what happened when Leo;de attacked Clarice. They have paid alimony and other money, and are doing a lot to keep Clarice out of trouble in the future.
However, a problem has arisen. The problem was that Leolde had changed and made spectacular achievements. Count Vanessa is misunderstood because of this.
It was rumored that Leoldd had been corrupted to the point of being called a "golden pig" in order to avoid marrying Clarice, and that Count Vanessa was the one with the problem.
Even though the dukes denied that this was the case, the rumors spread like wildfire, and Count Vanessa's position became cornered.
However, it was Leoldd who stopped it. When he found out that Clarisse was suffering because of him, he took immediate action. He ran to put out the rumors, found out where they came from, and got her to tell the truth.
It was because of this that Count Vanessa did not fall.
(Oh ....... Are you saying that it was thanks to Leolde that Clarice's bad words were gone before she knew it? I didn't know anything about ......!)
Thinking back, the bullying against Clarisse had disappeared since the end of the tournament. Elina thought it was because they had denied that it was a rumor, but the truth was different. It was the result of Leolde's manipulation after hearing about Clarice's current situation at the tournament.
Elina, who had assumed that it was Leoldo's fault without knowing it, now regretted it.
"I am ...... "
Even though she didn't know, Elina, who had been blaming Leolde and feeling righteous, came at the truth and burst into tears.
Leolde , who had no idea what they were talking about in the ward, was surprised to see Elina suddenly start crying. He had never expected Elina to shed tears in public. And it was in front of him , who she hated . The fact that Elina shed tears made Leolde wonder what they were talking about.
However, since Sylvia asked to put up a soundproof ward, he decided not to pursue the matter. She didn't want to be heard, so she asked for the soundproofing, so there was no need to him to listen. And it's natural that everyone has a thing or two that they don't want to be heard.
"I'm not going to ask you why you're crying. I, but I think you understand now. Sir Leolde has sinned, but he has never forgotten it."
"Yes, I see. Your Highness has helped me to understand that.
"I'm glad to hear that."
The discussion is over and Sylvia turns back to Leolde . Leolde realized that the discussion was over when Sylvia turned around and canceled the soundproofing barrier.
"Your Highness, is the discussion over?""
"Yes. It's over."
Sylvia grabbed Leolde 's hand and started to walk back to venue. As if caught up in the moment, Leolde also starts walking, when Elina calls out to him.
"Wait.""
"...... I don't think we have anything more to talk about.
"I have one last question for you. Are you going to keep looking forward?"
"Someday you will have to stop and look back. But until then, I'll keep moving forward without stopping."
"So ......""
This completely ended the conversation, and as Leolde was about to walk away, he did one last nasty thing.
"Yes. Elina. If you want to get together with Siegfried, you'll have to make an effort yourself."
"Huh? It's none of your business!"
Leolde returned to the party with Sylvia, laughing at Elina, who turned red and yelled. And Elina, who is left alone, murmured with regret.
"I still hate him. "
These words came from the bottom of her heart. Elina was sure that she disliked Leolde, even if she admitted i her mistakes t a little.
Elina, unable to say anything, stands there in a daze. There was no way to say anything , so Leolde tried to take Sylvia back to the venue of the party, but Sylvia left Leolde and went to Elina.
