Lucimar Ismail's blunt words left everyone else in the room with nothing to say... As the greatest victim of those bastards, he certainly had the right to speak that way.
But he would never have made it so obvious before.
And as nobles who all knew very well about the Ismail Family's affairs, they immediately understood what had happened.
Ted suddenly spoke up. "Your mother... Earl Ster would be willing to provide her with a safe and comfortable room in his castle."
Lucimar placed his right hand over his chest and gave a slight bow. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ted.
But there's no need. She only wants to stay with me now.
As for me~ I'd be embarrassed to stay in your family's castle~
Miss Ellie has always disliked me getting close to your family's maids!"
Ted shook his head helplessly. "Miss Ellie is good in every way, except... her outlook is still too narrow.
The maids won't be grateful for her interference."
Some of the nobles and wealthy merchants listening in could not help but laugh... Lucimar had never forced anyone into anything; it was always consensual... There were always pretty girls willing to make some money for themselves while they were young and beautiful.
Lucimar turned to look out the window. "My mother... though she had always been unwilling to let go, after everything that happened recently—especially after the children he had once cherished so dearly died at the Moon Clan's hands, and he barely reacted—she finally gave up!
If she went anywhere else, those women might still do something.
But before the Undead appeared, Aoskar Island was likely to make Basia City bear the brunt first. In the eyes of those people in the capital, she was risking her life for me, so nobody cared.
