Chapter 48

< — Truth & Falsehood — > (3)



TN: Ended up settling for falsehood because it makes you think ‘lie’ than simple ‘false’ and also cuz I realized the title is in singular form so truths & lies wouldn’t work .

If Hugo said he didn’t remember, Lucia would have simply accepted it . But saying that he had never seen the woman was strange . A chilling sensation ran up her spine .

How does one make a child with a woman one has never seen?

As her silence grew longer, he grew anxious . His slip of the tongue could not be reversed . He’d already shown her a troubled expression and the pause was too long to fix it . If he were to make up an excuse now, she would pretend to believe but remain suspicious .

“Vivian . ”

After calling her name, he didn’t say anything for a long while . He didn’t know how to start the discussion and couldn’t get a sense for how much he could tell her and how much she would be able to accept . The thoughts in his head were getting jumbled up .

“Is it difficult to explain?” (Lucia)

“…”

“…Let’s go to sleep . ”

In Lucia’s mind, no matter what relationship he had with Damian’s birth mother, she had no right to interfere . She knew he had a son before she married him and also knew that his relationship with Damian’s birth mother was an past thing before their marriage, also Damian’s birth mother was already dead so there was no need for her to question the subject any closer .

Hugo felt like a dreary wind swept over his chest and gazed vacantly into the dark . His heart ached at her clear attitude of drawing a line . When he realized his slip of tongue, he knew should explain something to her but in that moment, his feeling of bewilderment was rather huge .

‘Act like you didn’t hear anything’ Lucia made her mind up like that and tried to fall asleep but she just couldn’t . No matter how hard she thought about his words, she couldn’t guess anything . There was no way that Damian who looked so much like him could not be his son .

Was it his way of saying that he didn’t remember anything because it was just one night of passion? After all, it wasn’t like a child could only be born from an intimate relationship so it was possible . But still, it was the woman that gave birth to his child so not even knowing her face was too much .

Her thoughts simmering deep inside her mind spilled out .

“I guess…you’ll forget my face later too . ”

She projected herself onto Damian’s biological mother . His words seemed to say that even if the woman in his past gave birth to his child, she wasn’t worth remembering . If so, the worth of Lucia who couldn’t bear a child would be worse .

Hugo who had been unable to gather his senses because his mind was unsettled felt his heart jump out of his chest at this sudden bombshell . He had to think it over several times to understand what she was talking about .

“…How did you come to that conclusion?” (Hugo)

“You can’t even remember the woman that gave birth to your child . ”

“It’s not like that . ”

Lucia always told herself over and over, ‘You must not be impatient’ . The road to loving him would be very long and sometimes, difficult . If she didn’t want to tire out, she had to look ahead and take one step at a time .

Any else was fine but when she chanced upon his heartless and cold side, the thought that his heart was still freezing cold would come to mind and her strong will would falter little by little . It was also like this when he behaved indifferently to Damian .

She knew now that he simply didn’t express his feelings but before she knew this, she had thought maybe he didn’t know about feelings of affection for someone .

And so she felt confusion at his attitude towards her . She knew he didn’t hate her . Perhaps he might even like her quite a bit . But he behaved excessively affectionate and gentle, like a man that had completely fallen in love . From time to time, Lucia would suspect if he was testing her .

“Then, what do you mean by you’ve never seen her? Can a woman you’ve never seen give birth to your child?” (Lucia)

She felt her indignation rise as she spoke and sat up . Hugo then sat up too .

“Vivian, I think you’re a little heated…”

“I’m sorry . I dare to get heated up when it’s not my place . ”

Hugo felt his head ache . He had seen her like this before, not too long ago . She was usually mild and gentle but once she became upset, her words became sarcastic and prickly . It was like taking someone off guard and suddenly biting their hand . The surprise was bigger than the agony so rather than feeling upset, he felt absurd .

“Vivian . ”

For the time being, he held her shoulders to calm her down . She spun, shaking of his hands off and turning her back to him . The moment she turned her back to him, sparks flew in his eyes . Lucia suddenly felt a strong grip on her shoulder and scowled at the pressure . The strong force pulled her back and in one swift motion pressed her down on the bed . It happened so quickly and when she came to her senses, he was above her and holding her down .

She flinched at the sight of him looking at her with a piercing gaze .

“Don’t…turn around that way . ”

“…Huh?”

“Don’t turn your back to me . ”

His voice was level and he spoke in a rather low tone but Lucia could somehow grasp his emotional state .

‘He…he’s angry . ’

When she thought about it, she had never seen him get angry . When he got angry, he seemed to become calm and get rather chilly . Why did he get angry?

‘Because I shook him off and turned away? Could he have been betrayed by someone in the past?’

“I won’t do it again . ”

Lucia replied calmly so as not to stimulate his anger even more .

“Let me go . You surprised me . ” (Lucia)

“…Sorry . ”

His rising anger was quickly subsided in a moment . The strength in his arms grabbing her shoulders also lessened and as he withdrew, Lucia sat up slowly . The atmosphere had suddenly come to a lull . In this odd atmosphere, the two of them sat facing each other, not saying anything .

Lucia composed her mind and thought about herself acting up on him out of nowhere .

‘I should apologize for being impolite…and go to sleep already . I don’t need to put him on edge with pointless psychological warfare . ’

“The boy…he’s not my biological son . ”

“…What?”

Hearing his colossal and blunt words, Lucia suddenly felt dizzy .

“Do you mean…Damian? That child…is not your son?”

She couldn’t help but try to confirm if the words she heard were correct . Hugo let out a deep sigh and ran a hand through his hair . He didn’t her feelings to be hurt over this issue . He didn’t want her to greatly misunderstand him over Damian’s issue and picture him even worse in her head .

“I heard you asked Jerome about the west tower incident . Did you hear that I had a brother?”

“…Yes . ”

“Damian is my brother’s son . In more accurate terms, he’s my nephew . ”

In front of the tremendous truth, Lucia’s heart was pounding loudly and her mouth went dry . Suddenly, dozens of questions came to her mind but she couldn’t organize any to formulate a question .

“This fact…Damian…”

“He doesn’t know . Me . And now you too . Other than that, nobody else knows . ”

To be more accurate, one more person, Philip, knew but Hugo had no intention of mentioning him .

< — Truth & Falsehood — > (3)

TN: As a chapter with such a pivotal plot point, it’s only right that copy-cats get a fake chapter, yes?



Lucia was surprised . The end . It was not group epidemic but group food poisoning . Both in this weather, infectious disease or food poisoning, it was not uncommon, but the peacock was not in a direct run . Go to rubymaybe translations for the real deal .
The village lord who floated the pavil and gave the peacock a giggle had a complaint .

“Hmm, something feels familiar”

“Hello, Good sir .   This mushroom looks like an edible mushroom, but when you eat it looks like a bellyache, pooing, vomiting and a red spot on the whole body . ”

As soon as the doctor who was brought in was familiar with poisoning and poison ivy, he looked at some patients and asked them what they found, and found mushrooms in the rest of the ingredients . In a short time, the problem was resolved in the moment .

The villagers who had never eaten chicken before (what?) and when the problem was resolved within two hours of the peacock’s appearance, it was wonderful . It was also full of awe in the eye of our peacock,

“If I’m a mushroom near here, Americans will not know . ”

“Yes . Good sir . This mushroom is not a mushroom that lives in the vicinity . We have to climb to the north with more climate . ”


“What is going on?”

“Translator at it again”

“Oh duh . ”

“The copies strike again”

Asked by Hugo, the lord was tied up in a pose, and nibbled on the floor, he fell on his face . He was a shop owner who had run a grocery store in the village and supplied the mushrooms .

“Yes, yes . Uh …I am looking for my daily snack . ”

“Enough .  Your SNACK is in the link at the end of this post .  I’m actually quite farmished not gonna lie . (I kid, it’s in the comments)”

“Saaaaaame ”

The man who watched the situation when the elderly man was running away with a runny nose, said to the duke .

“Chicken”

“Oh yesss . Some mac and cheese would be heaven right now . “

“Chickennnnnnn”

I answered with a voice everywhere .

“Translator-san, are you bored? “

The lord apologized with a dark look .

“You asked this last time too . No . ”

The look of the lord who was ready to live anger brightened brightly .

“You’re talking with yourself dear, you okay?”

“No . What of you?”

There was nothing to see here anymore . Three hours of horseback riding was a bad habit but much better than a plague .
Hugo and Knights left for Roam, leaving a few people to do the rest . The day was getting darker .

“You know the funny thing is aggregators still don’t copy my links . ”



It is good to arrive before meals, but if you are a little late, you do not want to have a break in the middle of meals during the meal . Dean, who was named, departed a little earlier and after a while Hugo and the knights started running .

I ran without rest and arrived at Roam, and the horse that had loaded Hugo stopped to go inside . One of the servants who found Hugo coming down from the horse ran in amazement, and Jerome leaped out after a while .

“Hello everyone”

“If you’re one of those people commenting on an aggregator site“

Jerome followed immediately behind Hugo to the office . After a while, the three brothers, who dedicated themselves to the work, went into the office with clothes for change . Hugo changed their dusty clothes .

“STOP”

“It makes me want to translate less“

“Honestly . ”

Hugo went straight to the desk . When I sat in my chair, I had several documents in front of me that looked best . Marked in red on the corner, it is urgent . There was no time to breathe, he muttered and picked up a document .

[Anita comes and steals Hugo,

Lucia is left crying alone]

“I’m just kidding guys, don’t kill me . ”

Because of the party, the atmosphere of tolerance was dark all day today . He reminded me of the man who told me to tell him directly,

“”

I answered .

“Call me when you’re ready for dinner . ”

He sat down halfway around his desk and began to read the papers . Lucia fell asleep with a headache pill and woke up and continued to hang on the sofa .
Even though I woke up to sleep after taking medicine, my headache rarely sunk . Her head was sick and her mood was bad, so Lucia kept crying while lying on the bedroom sofa .
The evening was over and the headache was gone, and the maid informed us of the return of the peacock .

“You know someone actually recommended for me to put the link to the real chapter in the comments . ”

Lucia thought he would not come in today . Bring the mirror to the housemaid, and my eyes were swollen . If I knew this, I would have to do my pussy .

“Why didn’t you?”

Lucia was fired as a temporary measure . But time was not enough . It will be announced soon that dinner is over .

“I did”

“Plot twist . ”

“I’m completely joking if you couldn’t tell . I’m sorry, hope no feelings are hurt but stealing sites plus commentors on those stealing sites are starting to get to me . ”

“Oh dear . ”

“Wish they weren’t but they are . ”

Only during meal time he does not have to know . After dinner, he will go back into the office .
He gets a little busier when he gets out . It is likely to sink soon if you paddle a little more . I did not want to let him know that I cried for nothing .
I went down to the restaurant and Damien was there first . Hugo came in a little late and was seated .

He lifted a spoon and gazed at her naturally . His hair twisted and his hands stopped .
As soon as he put the spoon on the table to be heard, the atmosphere froze coldly . He got up and approached her, embarrassingly looking at herself .
One hand clutching the table, grabbed her jaw with one hand . Her reddish eyes were clearly in his sight .
His eyes darkened as if his eyes were wide open .

“What is it . ”

Lucia was conscious of her surroundings and naturally turned her head and dropped her gaze . I did not know he would respond to this . I thought I might ask you something later if you look at it . I was disappointed that I could not even have a room with Damian as well as my employees .

“First you eat …”

He grabbed her chin firmly and pushed his head back to look more closely . Her clear amber eyes were red . Did you cry? Why?

“Jerome!”

Jerome the super sexy butler shot out knife sharp answers like so:

“At the garden party, your ladies broke the party . ”

“Breaking the party?”

“They danced hula together . ”

“Reason . ”

“… . Master Damian . . ”

I did not need to hear more . He grasped the rough situation .

“What did you do to you?”

There was violence in his soft voice .

“Nothing . . do anything …”

They simply rejected the party with silence and a cool look, and did not do anything directly to Lucia . I did not have an unpleasant mind at all, but it was not enough . I was sorry to Damian, and I thought I was already crying because I was so upset . But from the moment he asked why, he was nose .
It was the same as if there were more tears in the room . When he came back, he tried to explain to him what was happening today . By the way, he touched Lucia ‘s tears .
The hugo look of seeing the tears come to a standstill has set in . Hugo pulled her seat back and hugged her in his arms .
As if she had a child, she supported one arm under her thigh and put one hand in her chest as if she were wrapped around her back .

“Go to the second floor and eat on room . ”

“Yes . ”

“For the real chapter, please go to rubymaybetranslations . ”

Damian looked at him worriedly as he saw Lucy embrace the restaurant . I was worried about Lucia, who did not come out of the bedroom almost all day, and Damian heart was also uncomfortable all day long . I hope I can see my mother who smiles well as usual .
