However, when Father informed me that reality was far from the fanciful picture I had imagined and that our entire family had come perilously close to being killed, I, too, understood that even I, in my usual self, felt my blood run cold.

“So, did… did the Quist family forgive us?”

Trembling, I asked Father to confirm the Quist family’s response.

“The Quist family did not forgive us…”

“T-That’s… unthinkable…”

“However, Lord Kaiser forgave us, not taking our lives but demanding the return of three thousand gold coins as a condition for forgiveness… Moreover, Lord Kaiser, who could see that our current situation might not only prevent us from repaying our debts but also lead to further indebtedness, provided a solution and even offered assistance to implement it!! It’s truly enviable how the Quist family’s heir apparent can be so perceptive… They must call such a person a prodigy. I, who have touched upon his talent, understand that he must have hidden his abilities so far to protect himself from the dirty adults, through performances, for the sake of self-protection…”

When Father responded to my question with “The Quist family did not forgive us,” I felt as if my knees were about to give out, but it seems that’s not the case, and I breathe a sigh of relief.

According to Father, it seems that thanks to Lord Kaiser, we have come to terms with the “return of three thousand gold coins.”

To the Quist family, it seems that it was never a benefit, as it was originally their gold coins. Considering the rumors circulating that I am now seen as a man who was ‘left by his fiancée’ due to spending time and effort just after being engaged to me, the disadvantages seem far greater.

Moreover, not only that, but Lord Kaiser also mentioned that he would help us rebuild our territory.

“Really, you’re such a foolish daughter to break off an engagement with someone like him… If anything, now that I know Lord Kaiser’s true nature, I’d be willing to pay in gold coins just to have my daughter engaged to him…”

And I think.

Could it be that Lord Kaiser’s harsh treatment towards me was because he sensed my disapproval of the engagement with him, and he was trying to guide me towards breaking it off, so that by doing so, he himself could prevent the disasters that would befall our family?

I feel like I might be overthinking it, but when I told Lord Kaiser about breaking off the engagement, I had expected him, in his usual manner, to become furious. However, the way everything ended so smoothly without any trouble was quite consistent and made sense.
