In a room
"?! She's not related by blood?" Rupert said surprised as shock was written on his face.
Cara put a finger over her lips and shushed Rupert. Rupert quickly covered his mouth as a sweat ran down his cheek.
'But her black hair, and that personality...' Rupert thought as he had a finger over his chin.

Flashback
"You're not going anywhere. You all disgust me, so go rot in hell." Annelise said looking at the dean and workers as Leonia was on her left side sticking out her middle finger at them.
The dean eyes were widen at what he heard as knights came and took the workers who were protesting.
"Wow, that's refreshing wasn't mom~ the stress from those ten years is all gone now." Leonia said as she still had her middle finger out.
"Aren't you seven years old?" Duke Phileo said bluntly with his arms crossed and looking at the dean.
Annelise and Leonia both flinched.
"...It's a hyperbole~ don't you know what figures of speech are?" Leonia said as she still had her middle finger out at the dean.
The dean was protesting as a knight was pulling him away.
Annelise sigh as she kneeled down and picked up Leonia.
Duke Phileo took out a small pouch and a beautiful diamond necklace with a bit of gold on the necklace.
He handed them to Leonia and Annelise.
Leonia took the small pouch as Annelise took the necklace with Leonia in her arms still.
'This seems so expressive!!' Annelise screamed in her mind as she looked at the necklace with wide eyes.
"Duke..."Annelise mumbled.
"...I haven't done anything cute today though." Leonia said as she looked at the little pouch.
"You did." Duke Phileo.
"That just now? harassing the orphanage people?" Annelise questioned.
"Either way Duke i feel like this is to much for me it's alright with coins but this...." Annelise trailed off as she look at the necklace in her other hand as she was holding Leonia.
Duke Phileo stared at Annelise and Leonia.
"Keep it. You both acted like a Boleoti." Duke Phileo said as he closed Annelise palm which was holding the necklace and he patted Leonia's head.
Duke Phileo stared at the mother and daughter pair.
Annelise and Leonia pouted as flowers bloomed around them.
Duke Phileo smiled as he stared at them.
Duke Phileo brought Annelise close to him as Leonia was in between them.
"My lady's!" A maid exclaimed as she clapped her hands.
"You two were great." Connie said as she clapped her hands.
Rupert was dumbfounded.
Melesis covered her mouth as Cara had a bit of tears in her eyes as she had a napkin.
'.....Am i the only one that isn't moved? AM i the weird one here?' Rupert thought as he became more dumbfounded and sweat dropped.
Leonia was blushing in embarrassment as she snuggled deeper in her mother's chest as Annelise laughed.
Duke Phileo had his arm around Annelise waist as he just stared at the maids, Cara, and Melesis blankly.
Soon the 3 family members were walking through the hallway with Rupert a few steps behind them.
Annelise was carrying Leonia as she was on the left side of Duke Phileo who's arm was around her waist.
"But! You can't just kill them quickly, okay?" Leonia exclaimed looking at Duke Phileo.
"I wouldn't do something so wasteful." Duke Phileo said.
"That's right. We need to use them properly." Leonia said as raised her fist up high but not to high to hit her mother chin.
"....Where did you learn something like that?" Duke Phileo said as a strike of lightning came.
".....The orphanage?" Leonia exclaimed as a strike of lightning came.
"But also mom as well!"Leonia said happily with a big smile.
Duke Phileo looked at Annelise with an eyebrow raised.
Annelise smiled sheepishly as she turned her head away.
Duke Phileo smirked as a glint appeared.
"I have an idea! We can tie them up and throw them off a cliff!" Annelise said with stars in her eyes and pink sparkles around her.
Leonia nodded in agreement.
Duke Phileo eyes were blank as an image appeared beside him of the dean and 2 male workers tied up as they were crying.
"Then they'll pop back up because of the tension in the rope, and then go back down, back up, back down...." Leonia trailed off as she was making hand signals of what she said.
"𝕬𝖓𝖉 𝕾𝖓𝖆𝖕! 𝖂𝖊'𝖑𝖑 𝖏𝖚𝖘𝖙 𝖑𝖊𝖆𝖛𝖊 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖒 𝖚𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖑 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖗𝖔𝖕𝖊 𝖘𝖓𝖆𝖕𝖘!"
Annelise and Leonia said with wide smiles. A red glint appeared in Leonia's eyes as a purple glint appeared in Annelise eyes.
Leonia was shaking as she had her hands close to her and sort of into fist not fully.
"That's a good idea. There's a good cliff near the back of the mansion." Duke Phileo said as he glanced away and had a hand over his chin.
"But don't be too rough on them. They need to be healthy for more torture." Leonia said happily.
"Mom will give you a slap if you break your promise!" Leonia exclaimed with a wide smile on her face as both Duke Phileo and her held their pinky up.
Annelise laughed as Rupert was dumbfounded once again.
'I don't mind slapping him after what he makes me do!' Annelise thought with a glint in her eyes as she thought of the moments she had to dance privately for him i mean she doesn't mind dancing but the clothing!.
Since Leonia was in Annelise arms Duke Phileo eyes landed on Annelise big breast. Duke Phileo had a glint in his eyes as he stared at them.
Leonia saw so she moved towards her mother's chest and covered her chest as she glared at Duke Phileo.
Duke Phileo raised an eyebrow and turned his head away.

Flashback over
"...Anyway..." Rupert mumbled as he rubbed his forehead.
Soon someone appeared in his mind.
'....But they don't look alike.' Rupert thought his eyebrows furrowed and eyes narrowed as a hand was on his chin.
'...If i am being honest she looks more like lady Annelise with her looks and personality...the only difference is the hair color and eye color....'Rupert thought as an image of Annelise appeared in his mind.
"Lady Regina is dead." Rupert said as he turned to Cara.

~One day, in a torrential downpour in the Boleoti territory.~
~Lady Regina ran away~
~With the man she loved~
☆☆☆
"I...Personally investigated that carriage, which had been swept all the way downstream that day." Rupert said as a gloomy aura surrounded him and his eyes were narrowed as well as his eyebrows were furrowed.
Cara just at Rupert before she spoke up.
"But....." Cara started.
"The body was never found." Cara said as here eyes were narrowed and her eyebrows furrowed.
Rupert eyes widen as his lips parted.
☆☆☆
"If...."
Leonia is seen holding the little pouch of strawberry milk candy as she smiled.
"Those Two Escaped The Accident-"
Leonia is seen holding a jar with a few little pouches inside the jar.
Leonia had a big smile as the maids smiled and laughed.
Leonia showed the jar to her mom with a bigger smile.
Annelise smiled and clapped for Leonia as she then smooched Leonia's cheek who giggled.
"And Fled The Boleoti Territory...."
