Grrr. Flomus trembled at her brother’s teasing growl.

“Didn’t you hear about Countess Tedros? Ah, wait, she’s not a Tedros anymore. Anyway, you heard what happened to her, right? She got full of herself and crossed the daughter of Duke Voreoti, and ended up driven mad after being pierced by the beast’s fangs.”

“A... A madwoman?”

“She can’t do anything by herself, they say.”

They say she just sits there blankly, like a broken doll.

Without someone to support her, she can’t even eat, go to the bathroom, or change her clothes. The rumor spread so far and wide that even little kids whispered about it behind their parents’ backs.

The flower of high society withered in the most pitiful way.

Yet no one said the rumors were exaggerated.
