Chapter 296
“Please, just disappear from my sight…”
On the verge of tears, Aileen pleaded desperately. Violet was planning to leave soon anyway, and so she responded with one final act of mercy.
“Fine. Since what happens next is no longer my concern, I’ll be on my way.”
Even as she was about to leave, Violet gently patted Aileen’s head. With her head lowered, like a sister offering genuine encouragement, she whispered softly.
“Do you know? Even if you were to die and come back to life, you could never be me. Aileen, you are only you. You carry the blood of the mother you so deeply despise… But, do you know? The bloodline you look down upon is one blessed by the gods.”
Aileen shouted back.
“Don’t be ridiculous! You were born noble—what do you know about me!”
“It’s ironic, isn’t it? You’re the one who taught me all of this. You say I was born noble, and it’s easy to think that way. But the bloodline blessed by the gods, the one that should be considered the noblest, was passed down from your mother to you. Aileen, if you had realized this sooner, wouldn’t your life have been different?”
“Hah, haha… Are you lying to me now? Just to see me suffer?”
