Chapter 16
“Are you in your right mind? How could you do that?”
Clang! A loud sound rang out as a vase shattered. As the sharp sound pierced her ears, Liv flinched. All she could do was try her best not to be noticed and remain as still as a mouse.
But Countess Hamelsvoort’s anger still didn’t seem to subside.
“I got scolded trying to handle people saying you should be arrested! The Emperor already looks unfavorably upon our family as it is!”
With her face flushed red, Countess Hamelsvoort poured out her anger as if she would devour Liv at any moment, and Liv could only cower in front of her. She seemed to be furious that Liv ran away instead of bowing her head in front of the Emperor.
“I’m sorry...”
Finally, Liv said, mumbling her lips. Even if time turned back again, she thought she had no choice but to act that way, but it was true that Liv had done wrong anyway. She had broken the rules of humans.
“Ugh, I’m already sick of the sight of you. I hope the imperial law allowing children to be disowned quickly passes!”
As she shouted like that, the frightened Liv watched her reaction. Then should she return to where she originally belonged? A place where she would starve, unable to wash, and only darkness?
Fortunately, Count Hamelsvoort intervened at that moment.
“Honey, don’t get too angry. It won’t change anything anyway.”
“Ha, but I’m still angry!”
