The Tamed Heiress - Chapter 63

Leon lightly paid silent tribute to him.

“You’re here often.”

He didn’t mean to be sarcastic, but it sounded a little like that even to himself because he met Dana and had sex with her in the drawing-room. Of course, if they didn’t want to die, the servants who knew about it wouldn’t have revealed his private life to anyone.

Therefore, even if Owen hadn’t heard all of it, he would know that Dana hadn’t returned yet. Leon also happened to have something to check with him.

“She’s Dana Deniz, right?”

Owen did not readily grasp the intention of the question. Owen was convinced that she was Dana Deniz, who looked just like Elisa, without any confirmation procedures. However, Leon knew that she was a stand-in and had to check how far Owen knew.

“That’s right, I’m sure you met yesterday, too. How was it?”

“Have you met her before?”

“I ran into her not too long ago in the square. I didn’t know that she was Dana Deniz at the time.”

Does Owen mean that before that, he introduced Dana to his son without knowing her at all? Of course, it is said that political marriage is not important to the parties, but that was not the way Owen recommended Dana.

However, Leon did not bother to question that part. He didn’t know who, why, or what they intended at this time, but she was going to live as Dana Deniz now, and Leon was going to make it so. Then everyone becomes happy.

“Okay. Let’s get closer.”

“Why are you so obedient? You must have liked her quite a bit.”

“Then, bye.”

He was going to pass by like that, but Owen put out a question from behind Leon.

“How much do you know about your mother?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It hurt a lot.”

“I’ve already told you a few times through correspondence.”

Leon rebuked as if he had come earlier, but Owen’s nuance was not that.

“I should’ve done that. Talking to someone you don’t even recognize is no different from talking to a wall.”

“Does that mean she doesn’t recognize you?”

No way. Sophia looked for Owen the whole time she was lying down. If she doesn’t recognize him, what the hell does it mean to have Owen around. So what was Sophia’s laughter when she was with Owen?

“Yeah. It looked okay at first glance, but now she seems to have reached her limit. Maybe… You might be shocked if you see it.”

“What do you mean, is she not your wife, father?”

Owen looked sadly at Leon and clicked his tongue.

“Even though people are close, there are secrets.”

Owen turned back as if he had nothing more to say and went his way, and Leon wanted to ask something more but left it.

According to Owen, Sophia’s condition seemed to have worsened. Finally, she was physically weak and sometimes her mind went back and forth, but she still had consciousness and seemed to recognize herself.

As for Dana’s case, why didn’t this news reach his ears?

“You’ve neglected the side palace too much.”

The maids, who were sitting in the drawing-room of the side palace and laughing, woke up in surprise at Leon, who suddenly rushed in.

“Your Grace!”

The side palace in the west was another world of its own, different from the main palace. The influential figures there were maids who served the Duchess as close aides.

Leon spared no support for the separate palace and treated Sophia generously.

Of course, mistakes and errors were severely punished, but he did not interfere with anything else that happened inside.

Therefore, the maids carrying Sophia on their backs gained momentum day by day, and they treated low-grade maids and servants like their own hands.

“What… So suddenly?”

On the drawing-room table were fragrant tea, fruits, and cookies. Of course, it wasn’t a crime for them to sit there and eat and drink them.

Most of the maids were low-ranking aristocrats belonging to the Tertius territory, and most of them followed and admired noble tastes. However, all the teacups they used were those that Sophia cherished very much.

Leon carefully looked through the appearance and went up the stairs on the second floor without saying a word.

The maids, who were only looking at each other, quickly cleaned them up, and Katie, one of them, quickly followed Leon.

She had a bad feeling.

The maid, guarding Sophia’s bedroom door, was dozing off in a chair.

“What are you doing? Wake up!”

Katie woke her up by screaming first even before Leon could open his mouth.

Katie was about to shout at the maid again who was still half-asleep and did not understand the situation.

Leon put his hand up to block her, and Katie hardened herself to his gesture.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

At first glance, he didn’t seem very angry. However, as soon as the dozing maid saw Leon in front of her, she jumped up and bowed.

“That, that, we just followed Lady Sophia’s orders…!”

Of course, Leon asked questions out of context, but the maid also began to make excuses out of nowhere.

Katie was astonished and tried to stop her, but the maid was speaking as soon as she came to her senses, fearing that she had dozed off.

“I didn’t know she was a guest. We just did what Sophia told us right away because we were worried that something would go wrong. It was the soldiers who actually followed that order. And the maid of the main palace said she didn’t know the lady.”

“What are you talking about?”

“So… Oh, my!”

The maid looked up at the sound of Leon’s cool voice and made eye contact with Katie. Katie winked a silent meaning at her, and the maid, who finally figured out the situation, was surprised and shut up.

“What are you doing? Explain it properly. Don’t tell me that you mean the lady who stays in my palace. I’ve been looking for quite a while since she disappeared.”

If she couldn’t explain it properly now, it could really cause everyone to be in big trouble.
