I'm a Good Stepmom
CHAPTRE 25
" Cih...why does the noble care so much about the witch's head? " Berick wondered with his jutek face.
Unlike Arnold, he seemed to think of Edward's words.
| What is the meaning of this family to be removed from the list of noble families? what the hell is going on? | Arnold wonders in his mind.
Perhaps because she was more mature than her other younger siblings, Arnold was now more cautious, she began to be sensitive and felt that something was wrong with her family's success.
" Berick, don't you think your answer to your highness is so disrespectful? " Jack asked as if reprimanding Berick.
" What is my fault, he answered like that, so I answered him honestly. " Say Berick.
" ha! This brat!! " Jack sighed at his own sister's behavior.
" Bernie?!! watch your answer when you answer the king's question. " Say Arnold.
Berick who was reprimanded for his attitude earlier he nodded in understanding.
" Well, I won't be like that anymore. " Say Berick.

Violet Room.
Edward moved Violet to the guest room in the castle.
The guest room was very luxurious, it was obvious that Violet was not treated well in this family.
" The guest room alone is better than the family head room. " Ludwig murmured who kept staring around the room.
" Ugh....my head? " Violet is conscious.
She held her head in her hands, and Violet was still unaware that Edward was there.
" Is your head still hurting? " Ask Edward.
As Edward's voice rang out, Violet glanced towards the voice and she said with widened eyes.
" You?! " Violet was surprised.
" Mistress, he is the Majesty of King Edward Charless Laontel. " Eric told Violet.
Violet with a confused face mixed in shock, she saluted by lowering her head.
" Hail Your Majesty. " Sincerely Violet.
Edward spoke immediately.
" You don't have to do that. " Said Edward.
" Ludwig?! quickly check again the situation. " Edward's orders.
Ludwig stepped forward, and he began to examine Violet.
| So, he is the King, all this time the one I have always met during the extermination of monsters is the noble king. | Violet wonders.
Violet turned her face away, she did not want to look at Edward.
Ludwig who was examining Violet, he felt a little pity, in his heart he said.
| As I held her wrist, it felt small and skinny. I feel like if I hold it too strong it will break and crumble. | Thought Ludwig while checking on Violet.
| I heard this woman has a bad reputation in social circles. They say she's a bad woman. But I don't see any evil aura from this woman. | Once again Ludwig thought.
"....He's fine, just needs a break. " Said Ludwig who had finished checking on Violet's health.
Hearing this, Edward was relieved.
" Go. " Said Edward to Ludwig.
Ludwig left the room.
Edward looked at Violet who turned her face away, as if avoiding Edward's gaze.
| Looks like he was very surprised. | Thought Edward.
Violet was silent, she did not want to look at Edward. Therefore, Edward himself had to act.
" Can we talk? " Ask Edward.
Eric and Amon, who heard it, looked at each other.
" We better go. " The whisper of Amon to Eric.
" Why should I go? " Task Eric in a whisper.
| If I leave, Madam is afraid she will talk something to Your Majesty. | Thought Eric.
" We have to go, because your Majesty wants to talk to the Marcioness. " Whisper Amon.
" Okay, I'll get out. " Whisper Eric.
" good. " Whisper Amon.
They finally came out of the room, and now there were only 2 people in the room.
The silence felt real inside the room, no one spoke the two just silence.
Edward, who had been standing, turned to the corner and pulled a chair.
He sat down next to Violet.
Edward could not keep quiet, he finally opened his mouth slowly and spoke.
" Lee's....
" You're Lee, right? " Edward asked with a look at Violet.
Violet still turned her face away, she must have had her own reasons why her face had to be hidden.
| Why did he come here? he shouldn't have recognized me. | Thought Violet.
" Answer me?!!....." Edward pressed his voice.
" Who do you mean? " Violet finally spoke.
He asked with a blank look to Edward, as if that gaze had no meaning whatsoever.
Violet's voice was calm but quite firm. Also, he did not look regretful at all.
Edward who saw it, he was astonished and confused.
| Her eyes did not imply anything, it was empty and I could barely read her facial expression. | Thought Edward.
" Don't lie, Lee..." Edward said that Violet was the Lee he knew.
| Why are you hiding your identity. | Edward wondered.
Violet was silent with a stiff and indifferent expression.
After a long silence, Violet finally replied.
" I'm sorry, Your Majesty, you seem to know the wrong person. " Answer answered Violet in a calm and indifferent voice.
" Why do I get the wrong people? " Task Edward who hasn't given up.
" ..... " Violet was silent, she must have had a reason why she wouldn't admit that the Lee Edward meant was her.
" Well, if you're just gonna shut up....
" I'll bring every piece of evidence that says you're the Lee I know. " Edward spoke with a serious face.
When Violet heard that, she immediately looked at Edward with a face that showed displeasure.
" .....I am Lee, so what do you want? " Suddenly Violet finally confessed.
" You're finally going to confess, Lee. " Said Edward satisfied.
" Go your majesty, I need a break. " Say Violet.
" Is this why you rejected me? " Ask Edward.
| I have not made the selection of the crown princess because it continues to wait for you, even though I was rejected by you at that time, I can not give up just like that. | Thought Edward.
" If you know, why do you still ask. I am grateful that time has rejected you. " Say Violet indifferently.
" What do you mean?.." Ask Edward.
" It turns out that I did not reject the mercenary, but the Lord of Laontel, His Majesty the king. I am so grateful to have rejected you at that time...." Violet.
" Are you rejecting me because you're a widow? " Ask Edward.
" No, there are many more reasons I reject your feelings. " Reveal Violet.
" Whatever the reason I don't care. " Said Edward.
" You don't care, but I do. " Say Violet.
| I can't get married, because I'm a widow. There will be many problems if I, a widow, marry and become queen of this kingdom. Thank goodness I rejected it at that time. | Thought Violet.
" Okay, please deny my feelings, but I won't just give up. " Say Edward was sure.
" .....Please go, your majesty, I need a break. " Violet said as she lay down and covered her body with a blanket.
Edward who was ignored just like that, he was still silent and staring at the body wrapped in the blanket.
