The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (234)

The Forgotten Woman (4)

“Grandma.”

Hella Galton looked dazed. Her last memory was of no grown grandson like Benio.

“Grandma? My, my grandchild is Majia, that child. She’s so young, why are you calling me grandma…?”

Benio smiled bitterly. Hella Galton’s memory had probably stopped about ten years ago. That meant she had spent a long time in this prison-like cell for ten years.

“This is Benio Kepler.”

“K, Kepler? If it’s Kepler, then it’s Susanna… Ah!”

Madame Hela’s eyes widened. It seemed as if forgotten memories were slowly taking hold in her mind. Benio snapped his fingers.

Hwaaaaak!!

Divine power penetrated Madame Hela’s body. Madame Hela felt her body become lighter and bowed her head to Benio.

“If it’s Benio Kepler. Of the House of Euper….”

“Yes. Chloe Huper is my mother.”

Madame Hela remembered that the Euper family had been destroyed. Benio shook his head at Madame Hela, who made an expression as if she had said something pointless.

“It’s okay. It’s in the past, Grandma.”

“Grandma. Honestly, I’m not in a position to hear such things from Prince Benio. Isn’t that right?”

Madame Hela was not hostile to Benio. She was a woman who devoted all her energy to ensuring that her children would not be looked down upon because of their humble status.

Besides, the Magia in her memories is still young.

The plan to make such a person the successor to the Kepler family was probably pushed forward after Madame Hela collapsed.

“But where am I? Why am I like this….”

“wait a minute.”

Benio realized that he needed to bring her back to reality. Fortunately, there was a mirror in the room covered in dust. Benio dragged the mirror over and wiped the dust off with his sleeve.

Then, the room that seemed to have been covered in ashes was reflected in the mirror. Madame Hela found herself in the mirror.

For a moment, Mrs. Hela did not recognize herself. It couldn’t be otherwise. Unlike her appearance, which had always pursued neatness, the image she saw in the mirror ten years later was nothing more than that of a shabby old man.

But eventually she realized that it was her.

“Ah, ah, ah?”

Benio said nothing. He simply gave her time. Madame Hela stroked her face. Wrinkled and swollen. Hair that grew out of control and tangled. Her neck was stretched out, her clothes were strangely marked, her cheeks were sunken, and her body was bony.

Mrs. Hela heard a strange sound and it took her a while to realize that it was her.

“I see.”

Swish.

After a long time, Madame Hela finally opened her mouth. Madame Hela’s face was filled with deep thought. Benio spoke to her.

“Do you remember?”

“Me. I knew this would happen someday. Losing your memories is really scary.”

Benio spoke to her with a lonely expression.

“Please speak comfortably, Grandma.”

“Still, is that okay?”

“yes.”

Benio nodded obediently. Then Madame Hela looked at Benio with warm eyes.

“You’ve grown up well. I remember your in-laws being very worried about you.”

Ten years ago, Benio was only eight years old. However, having been abandoned by the Euper family when they were destroyed, Benio was already a troublemaker from that time on.

“A lot has happened.”

“You must have a lot to hear.”

“Before that, I’d like to ask you one thing.”

Perhaps it is a story that Madame Hela does not remember, or even if she does remember it, it is difficult for her to bring up.

But Madame Hela struck before Benio.

“Memories are coming back one by one.”

Mrs. Hela had already guessed what Benio was going to ask. That’s why her expression is sad. Even though she was essentially abandoned as a 10-year-old woman, that doesn’t mean that her memories didn’t come back from time to time.

“Please go out first.”

“I guess so. I looked so embarrassed.”

Mrs. Hela got up from her seat, but she was unable to keep her balance and staggered, requiring Benio to support her.

“It’s dirty.”

“It’s okay, Grandma.”

“Then don’t be so kind to me.”

If Benio were in Madame Hela’s situation, Benio would never have been able to speak and act like Madame Hela.

Madame Hela did not look like someone who had just come out of a dream. She was a noblewoman, more noble than anyone else, with an air of elegance.

It’s ironic that she’s a commoner.

‘He is much more noble than his children.’

Benio carefully supported her. Madame Hela’s body was extremely thin. If it weren’t for Benio’s divine power, she wouldn’t have been able to stand on her own two feet.

Still, she had to take breaks every now and then and receive Benio’s healing magic. But she never showed any sign of being tired.

pride.

Mrs. Hela lost her memory and was abandoned by her children. Even so, there was one last sliver of pride that supported her.

Godmother of the Galton family.

She had endured years of humiliation and humiliation to get to that point. Even though her later years were not all good, Madame Hela was a womanizer.

“A lot of things must have changed.”

“Yes. Because I became the Archduke.”

“Bennio, you?”

Mrs. Hela laughed vainly.

“You used to avoid me whenever you saw me. Even when I was your grandmother, you always ran away. And now you’ve grown up and come see me.”

Lady Hela saw the dead body lying in front of her room, but she did not show it. She quickly realized that Benio had become the Archduke.

“What about Krito?”

“Brother Crito is dead.”

“Die? Why?”

Benio explained to her what had happened recently. Madame Hela, who had been sitting in her seat for ten years, knew little about what was going on outside.

She clicked her tongue as if she felt sorry the whole time she was listening. Benio, who brought her out like that, said to Tony who was waiting for him.

“Bring the butler.”

“Yes, your highness.”

The butler is a scapegoat. But at the same time, he is also a connecting link. Madame Hela was staring intently at him.

“Aren’t you going to ask?”

“What should I ask? I don’t even know the heart of my own child whom I bore.”

Mrs. Hela made a bitter expression. Benio did not urge or pressure her. He did not want to embarrass the old lady who had lost ten years of her life.

“Here is a letter from the third lady.”

“Did you send the letter?”

“yes.”

Benio picked up Madame Susanna’s letter as he left. Madame Hela nevertheless accepted the envelope with a glimmer of anticipation.

Sizzle.

Mrs. Hela tore open the envelope. Inside was a piece of stationery. But the stationery was blank.

Since the letter that was originally meant to be delivered to her grandmother was nothing more than bait, Mrs. Susanna did not write anything.

Madame Hela’s expression became grim.

“I see.”

Mrs. Hela put down the letter she was holding. The look in Mrs. Hela’s eyes changed as she put down the letter. When Benio, who was supporting Mrs. Hela, appeared, the commotion in my house grew louder.

Woof woof!

When Benio, who had disappeared with the butler, appeared alone and with an old man, the guards inside the castle swarmed in. Benio’s eyes turned cold as he looked at them.

Choaang!!

Benio pulled out the Hwaryeong with one hand. The guards flinched. And an aura rose up from the red blade of the Hwaryeong.

“Back off.”

Benio’s cold voice overwhelmed the crowd. The guard looked at Auror and took a step back in thought.

“I am the Archduke of the Kepler family! I am Benio Kepler!”

Benio deliberately did not announce his arrival, and Lady Susanna kept it a secret from Benio that he was going to Viscounty Galton.

But Benio has now revealed it.

“Anyone who stands in my way will not be forgiven. In the name of the Archduke.”

In the Duchy of Kepler, no one dares to take the name of Archduke lightly. Furthermore, the name of Archduke is a child who has gradually become known beyond the aristocracy and even to the common people, having heard the shameful words of the ducal family.

“Where is the maid!”

Benio raised his voice. The funny thing was that none of the maids and servants around him recognized Madame Hela’s face.

The only thing is that they don’t recognize their landlady, Lady Hela. This means that Viscount Galton and Lady Susanna have thoroughly erased all traces of Lady Hela after abandoning her.

The expression on Mrs. Hela’s face was grim as she guessed what had happened. At that moment, a large head maid came running out from among the maids, flustered.

“Did you call, Your Highness?”

“Grandma. Would you like to know?”

Benio asked Madame Hela, not the maid. Then the maid looked at Madame Hela, who was being supported by Benio.

At first, even the head maid didn’t recognize her. In the first place, the only maids in charge of taking care of Lady Hela were those who followed Lady Susanna’s orders and were tight-lipped.

Even though she was the head maid, she could not surpass Lady Susanna’s influence. That was why the head maid’s eyes, unaware of anything, trembled.

And then, a sound that was almost like a scream burst out of the maid’s mouth.

“Oh, Godmother! Godmother Hela!!!!”

“You’ve gotten so old.”

Madame Hela smiled sadly. Benio spoke to the maid who recognized Madame Hela.

“Get grandma dressed up. Call the doctor from Seongnae and have him diagnose grandma. Then call the reporter right away and block his writing.”

“Look, you said it was a blockade.”

“butler!!!!”

Benio rolled his eyes while holding the fire spirit in his hand.

“The butler hired an assassin to assassinate me!! Since this happened while Your Majesty was absent, this is a challenge to the Duke and a treason!!! Net!!!”

Swish.

Shock swept through the castle. Treason? And it was done by the Galton family, a vassal family of the Grand Duke.

The agent of the net appeared in Benio’s hoto. The duke’s dark sword, the net, appeared and his face turned pale.

Because we know that wherever a net appears, a fierce wind is sure to blow.

“Find out everything about the butler and the murderer, and make everything clear and transparent without a single doubt.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

From the moment he left Casa Kepler, Benio had expected that the net was watching him from somewhere. Not for any other reason than that Benio would soon have to return to Casa Kepler as a deputy duke.

Although he is called the Duke’s Agent, at that moment he is just like Duke Kepler, so it is natural for the net to assist him.

Of course, there was also a curiosity about Benio of Sinus, the leader of the net.

“Bernanke.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Bring the Master from the city. I have given permission for the Omega Unit to depart, so tell them to ride their horses and arrive here.”

“I obey your orders.”

Benio, who had even mobilized the troops of Pingui City, opened his eyes wide.

In Benio’s eyes, the faces of those who were looking at him with fearful expressions flew in and stuck. They pretended to have good expressions, but they were the lackeys of Viscount Galton and Lady Susanna.

I’ll probably be able to contact you there shortly.

‘Come, Viscount Galton. You will be quite pleased to see my flag flying over your castle.’

However, the hilt is in Benio’s hands. Since there was an assassination attempt on Benio within the castle, the first responsibility for it lies with the master of the castle, Viscount Galton.

In other words, Mrs. Susanna’s clever tricks came back to them like a boomerang.

“You are guilty of trying to deceive me. You will pay dearly for it.”

“I’m thinking of Madame Susanna in the distant Casa Kepler,” Benio muttered coldly, and turned away.
