Chapter 79: [79] Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated in a Count’s Family [3]
"Eugene Pruckus. Is it true that you attempted to assault your personal maid?"
A woman with auburn hair, seated at the desk in the study, looked directly at me as I stood silently before her.
Elaine Kassirot.
She was a beautiful woman. Her glossy auburn hair was elegantly tied up, revealing her neckline. The blue dress she wore suited her perfectly, and her chest was notably large, a D-cup. Above all, her flawless, translucent skin was captivating.
'Indeed. This is a fantasy novel. A beauty like her is hard to find in real life.'
In the absence of Count Pruckus, she held the highest authority in the mansion. She was the mother of the protagonist, Kyle Pruckus, and my step-mother.
"Don't stay silent. Speak."
Her cold auburn eyes and voice snapped me back to attention. I had been lost in her beauty.
"...It's true."
I admitted it readily. There was no other choice. Lexi had run through the mansion screaming, and many servants had witnessed the scene. If I lied, an investigation would quickly reveal the truth.
'This isn't as big a deal as it seems.'
Of course, it was wrong. My reputation would take a hit, but I was young, and it was only an attempt. It wasn't a major scandal yet.
