To Help You Understand – Chapter 11
It was around 4 a,m. when Violet arrived at the capital.
Most people who arrived at this time waited for the sun to rise, eating coffee with simple snacks at the train station.
Violet also decided to spend time at the station because she thought it was rude to visit her mother at dawn.
On the other hand, Sharon went out to the station to ride the coach sent by the hotel.
Violet joined Sharon in waiting for the carriage.
Sharon said with a relieved look.
“By the way, you really know everything about violet.”
Violet answered her words with a smile. Then Sharon couldn’t resist thinking about whether to do it or not and spoke out.
“Actually! Violet’s childhood fantasy of marriage was huge. But rumours circulated that you two had a bad relationship… I was a little worried.”
“… did you?”
Did she do that?
Sharon nodded while Violet was fumbling.
“You know, the late King Lawrence was busy with policy failures, and the Queen considered only a son… but the fantasy of Violet having her own family was extraordinary. I’m sure no one in the world likes to playhouse so much.”
When she heard what Sharon said, she vaguely remembered that she liked housekeeping. Sharon continued jokingly.
“I was dissatisfied with my main role as a baby. I wanted you to do it! Or be a doctor!”
Come to think of it, Sharon’s two-year-old brother and Doss’s successor, Ferrand Doss, would often play with his younger siblings’ housekeeping.
And Sharon, whose birthday is late, grew much later than Violet and always played the role of a baby.
When she thought of the memories she missed, she laughed because she was so happy for a long time ago. Sharon said with a smile.
“I’m so relieved that Violet met such a nice person.”
Then the carriage arrived. Violet hurried to her in the carriage.
“I’ll tell my wife to call you.”
“Really? My brother wants to know how Violet is doing, too!”
Sharon left after getting confirmation again and again.
Violet thought it was fortunate that she was not dead yet. She didn’t know that there would be someone who often remembered her.
It was time to enter the station again.
A policeman approached her and greeted with taking his hat off.
“Excuse me, gentleman. May I check your ID for a moment?”
“Yes, that’s all right. May I help you?”
“We usually do random tests at dawn.”
“Oh, I see.”
Violet nodded, took out her wallet and put out her ID card. Then the officer said,
“My eyes got bigger.”
“Oh, my God! Lord Winter Blooming. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you! I’m so sorry!”
“Why are you so sorry?”
The pale-faced officer ran away before Violet could finish speaking and a young man passing by when Violet was puzzled said.
“You’ve been unlucky since dawn.”
When Violet wondered, the young man shrugged his shoulders.
“Oh, I’m a stranger, too. Fortunately, I crossed the passing line and got black eyes and hair. My father still gets his ID checked like this.”
Violet’s face hardened when she realized the meaning of the word ‘passing line’ with his explanation.
It was silver hair and grey eyes that represented the Carnic clan, a stranger in the Lakrund.
Winter inherited his father’s black hair and his mother’s gray eyes.
My husband had the power to make the policeman run away while turned white when he knew who he was, but he still did not cross the line of acceptance of his indiscriminatory appearance.
***
Winter’s biological mother left her child in a restaurant for a while when he was five years old and never came back.
Winter has since worked as a servant of the restaurant owner.
However, until the age of twelve, there was no day when he was not beaten. Around that time, he escaped from his house as a servant and went to the Weidelin Mountains, which he had been listening about. He had bought a cart of beans with all the money he had collected so far. Then he risked his life to cross the Weidelin Mountains and headed back to the Blooming family.
Anyway, his mother told me that his father was there. As soon as they saw Winter, the two were embarrassed, but their expressions changed when they found the coffee beans piled up in the cart that the boy had brought.
While crossing the mountain range alone, the price of the beans has multiplied ten times. The boy was learning early how to make money.
Lacrunde was rapidly changing, and the era of solving everything by status alone is over. It took money for the Duke and Duchess of Blooming to continue to serve as the rulers of the Southern Rakround.
However, the only thing the couple could do about money was accounting. They needed family members who knew the flow of money exactly.
After the judgment, the two decided to warmly welcome Winter, and the boy was completely fascinated by the stability he first tasted at the age of 12.
Since then, the boy has always bought affection with money. His parents sold their affection for money.
There has never been a problem with the love deal until this year when Winter turned 27.
The Duke and Duchess of Blooming, who had been in such a relationship, were feeling extremely nervous.
They were very nervous about Winter setting up a new home and going outside. Ash was against it, but frankly, for them now it wasn’t an awfully bad option for their eldest son and wife to get divorced.
Worst of all, the relationship between the two became so good that they left the Blooming family. If Violet seduces her husband into paying for his parents’ party…
Catherine first removed her nervousness from her face and spoke to her husband.
“Violet’s late, isn’t she?””
“That’s true.”
James clicked his tongue disapprovingly.
“I knew she was ill, but I didn’t expect her to be late for my birthday.”
“She ‘ll be here soon. And… isn’t it true that you’re weak?”
“The doctor doesn’t pretend to make people ill.”
“But for three years…”
Catherine blurted the end of the conversation and a lady whispered beside her.
“You can’t have children, you two.”
“Well, I’m worried, too.”
Catherine sighed. Others began to help her, convinced that Violet was the reason why she did not have children.
At that time, there was a foreign silence at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Violet was walking with a white dress and a large diamond necklace to lighten up the surroundings.
She walked in and greeted the couple.
“I’m sorry I’m late. I’m particularly concerned about it today.”
There was a moment of silence, and Catherine said, perplexed.
“Violet, today’s hero is my husband, and it’s so…Isn’t it something fancy?”
“That’s true. My husband bought this much for me wear it today.”
Violet spoke and raised her left arm with three bracelets.
“I had no choice but to leave one out because my husband was upset.”
Ash told Catherine that he had told Winter that he had locked her in a closet. Catherine felt threatened by her rude speech and eyes, which she could not has imagined as Violet’s.
Catherine smiled as she decided to step back.
“Yeah. If Winter asked you to do so, that’s no big deal.”
“Happy birthday, Father…”
Violet was evasive enough, then smiled and turned around.
It was polite to wait for an answer if you said hello. There must be a reason why Violet just turns around like that. Besides, she showed up dressed like a completely different person.
The couple were sure that she had something to believe in, and they fell into deep anxiety.
***
Winter didn’t expect me to greet him like a Violet with perfect formality. I rather believed that it was best to finish greetings quickly and run away.
Soon after, Winter regretted coming out with a necklace. He twisted his neck and said to Hayel, who came with him.
“Can’t I take it off in the middle?”
“Of course not. I don’t think all the diamonds in the banquet hall will be enough. Everyone will know.”
“I think I’m going to break my neck.”
The shoes were hard to walk in and the dress was uncomfortable, but the necklace was the most painful. It was no ordinary job to bear this weight with his wife’s slender neck and shoulders.
“Now I know for sure why women know what they’re up to.”
Winter shook his shoulders with his hands and turned his head frivolously around.
All eyes were on him. In particular, many men turned their heads in anger at Winter’s fierce eyes while watching her in a rapturous way.
His wife was originally a beauty and appeared wearing brilliant jewellery, so it was natural to draw attention.
Winter was annoyed by the men’s gaze and said to Hayel,
“Just find out who Violet should say hello to. Say goodbye and leave.”
“How do I know that?”
“Women his wife’s age, whose mother usually comes to goddess tea parties. You should know their face.”
“She’s never been to a tea party, so how do I know who’s coming?”
“… She has never been there?”
“Yes, never.”
Now that he knew two reasons for divorce, it was a night of good results.
Winter clicked his tongue, sighed, and covered his face with his hands. Then Hayel said,
“Why don’t you make eye contact with anyone? If you know them, they’ll talk to you first.”
“That’s no big deal.”
Winter, who found it extremely loathsome to socialize, made eye contact and smiled in search of women who seemed to be her age.
However, most of the time, greeting lightly and smiling face to face was over, and some even ignored it as if they had not seen it at all.
He couldn’t find anyone close to Violet.
It doesn’t make sense to not have a close friend. How much time did she spend on my mother’s tea party?
Whenever his wife asked him to be with him at the party, Winter had some regrets that he had put his work before her, treating her like a child. Because I had never seen my wife at a party, I had no idea about her close relationship.
Winter said to Hayel in a fit of irritation.
“Someone she knows didn’t show up. Why don’t I just leave?”
“Hey, does it make sense that the Warhowsons are all here today? Your little lady isn’t a ghost…”
Being treated as an absentee at a party was called as a ghost in the south of Lakround. Crossing the street, talking about people who were barely invited to the party and failed to make connections has now become a term for those who are unpopular and ostracized.
Winter thought for a moment that the word “ghost” might have bothered her, and said to Hayel.
“You go out.”
“What? Why?”
“Get out for a second. Come back in 30 minutes.”
At Winter’s words, Hazel left the banquet hall wondering.
Half an hour later, Hazel returned to the banquet hall and asked Winter.
“Why did you ask me to go out?”
“… no one is talking to me.”
“What?”
“Nobody talks to her.”
Only after hearing that, Hayel looked around.
An hour has passed since entering this place, and none of the many Blooming family guests here have spoken to Violet first.
Winter turned right away and left the banquet hall. Hayel ran after him like crazy and asked.
“Where are you going?”
“Where am I going now? Let’s go find my wife. Come on, before the last bus stops.”
Winter’s pace quickened.
