I Love My Family But They Abandoned Me
I feel sorry for you.
Narrator
The Marquis expressed his concerns for his children in a gentle voice, but he did not give Leticia even a single glance. It was as if he didn’t need her.
Narrator
She felt like she was alone again. No, it was the moment when she realized once again that she was alone all along.
Leticia Leroy
I’m sorry, but may I be excused? I’m a little tired.
Narrator
Leticia asked cautiously, after all, she just couldn’t get the food down her throat. The Marquis nodded insincerely and continued to whisper to the other children.
Narrator
As soon as Leticia was out of the way, the Marquis called Diana as if he had been waiting for this moment.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
Diana.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Yes, father.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
What do you think of Young Master Elle?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Brother Levion?
Narrator
Diana didn’t know what the Marquis intended to ask, and instead of replying, she tilted her head. Soon the Marquis said a bit more precisely.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
As a marriage partner.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
What?
Narrator
The family, who had been eating quietly, looked up at the Marquis in surprise.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
I’m going to talk to Marquis Elle about canceling the engagement between Leticia and Young Master Elle, and suggest an engagement with you.
Narrator
Seeing Diana touching her lips, unable to answer immediately, the Marquis asked again.
Marquis Leroy [Leticia's Dad]
What do you think?
Narrator
It had been a few days since then. Somehow, today was the only day Leticia felt strange.
Leticia Leroy
What is this uneasy feeling…
Narrator
She couldn’t figure out what caused it, so with the thought ‘it’s probably nothing’ in her mind, and left the room.
Narrator
Today was the day she had promised to have tea time at Elle’s mansion with Levion.
Narrator
Not wanting to ruin the pleasant mood, Leticia was determined to let go of the strange feelings.
Narrator
However, a short time later, she ran into Diana in the hallway. As soon as Diana saw Leticia, she frowned and asked,
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Where are you going?
Leticia Leroy
I have an appointment with brother Levion.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Haha.
Narrator
Diana quickly covered her mouth, but the laughter had already flown out. Then she nervously waved her hand as Leticia stared at her suspiciously.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
No, it’s nothing.
Leticia Leroy
What is it? Why are you laughing?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Nothing, really.
Leticia Leroy
Nothing at all?
Narrator
Contrary to Diana’s words, something felt strange.
Narrator
The moment Leticia turned away, Diana walked up to her. Then she whispered quietly.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
I feel sorry for you.
Narrator
Before she could ask what the hell that meant, Diana’s mouth twitched up in a grin.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Please have a good time.
Narrator
More than ever, Leticia was hardened at Diana’s bright smile.
