Chapter 95
“Hahaha...”
He laughed like a madman while looking at Liv. His purple eyes, which had always been gentle, now glistened with devastation, and his once kind voice was now devoid of anything, feeling only empty.
“My dear sister, do you repay kindness with enmity? They brought a cursed being into this household without even knowing.”
The relationship between Walter and Liv could never go back to how it was before. They were no longer affectionate siblings.
“Keep living like that, indulging in the gods who love you, my sister.”
Walter, who had been more devout than anyone, no longer devoted himself to God. He left for the Merna Empire to study law created by humans, abandoning his god.

“And who might this be...”
Walter’s gaze shifted to Emmett standing next to Liv. Emmett immediately greeted Walter politely.
“It’s been a long time, Young Count Walter. You may have forgotten me. I am Emmett of the Lartman Duchy.”
“Ah yes, Duke Lartman...”
As Walter’s gaze scanned Emmett like a snake, the Countess, who had approached unnoticed, intervened. It was a quick move, as if she had sensed the strange atmosphere flowing between them. She would probably think that the Hamelsvoort family, close to the temple faction, was wary of the Lartman family, close to the imperial faction.
