I Won't Go Back To My Family Who Abandon Me novel Chapter 78

When the nobles heard the news that it was raining only in the Achilles’ territory, they were quick to send letters. When he replied that he’d only traveled to his territory, everyone went down to their territories and gave relief supplies to the residents who were suffering from the drought.

Strangely, a few days later it began to rain in other lands, and people started to gossip that the Achilles family had a special ability. The story even reached the ears of the Imperial family and soon they received an invitation from them.

“Enoch…”

The next day, Enoch and Leticia sat in the office alone to talk about what to do.

They looked at each other for a while. Enoch slowly started to speak.

“We could say it’s a coincidence.”

“However…”

“Some people are just saying it’s a coincidence, so it’ll be okay.”

Enoch knew that Leticia felt burdened when she talked about her ability. That’s why he hoped that Leticia would be able to hide her ability, and not feel uncomfortable like this again.

‘If her ability becomes known…’

It’s clear that there would be people who approached her to abuse it.

Unexpectedly, Leticia showed a calm expression even though she wasn’t.

“I know what Enoch is worried about.”

“Leticia!”

“I won’t be able to hide it forever.”

She had guessed, to some extent, that this day would come. She didn’t know exactly when, but she’d wondered for a while whether that day was approaching.

She still didn’t have an answer then and now.

All that mattered was doing her best.

‘But if I can, it’s better to hide it. It would be best to write to as many people I know as possible.’

Leticia knew that it would be nice if only good people like Enoch knew, but that just wasn’t realistic. Rather, it was clear that there would be people who tried to take advantage of her.

‘Like Keena.’

[Don’t go back to your family.]

As soon as she found out that my ability was luck, and not misfortune, Keena threatened her so that she wouldn’t return to her family and interfere with her plans.

‘Still…’

She wanted to tell Elle and Ian herself.

“Your ability is luck?”

She didn’t think she could hide it anymore because they’d find out someday, so Leticia wanted to be honest with Elle and Ian.

At first, their eyes widened in surprise, but before long the twins began to worry about what was for dinner. It was Leticia who was rather puzzled by their attitude.

“Are you really okay with it?”

“What? What are you talking about?

“My ability…”

It went much more smoothly than she thought, and Leticia wondered if that was all right. At her confused expression, Elle sighed and calmly said what she was thinking.

“I think it’s fascinating.”

“Is that all?”

“What else is there, sister?”

“No, I didn’t mean that there should be.”

She already knew that Elle and Ian wouldn’t have any bad intentions after hearing about her ability.

However, hearing it directly from them, she felt warm and it touched a corner of her heart.

‘If it were her family, then…’

Leticia gently bit her lip and lowered her eyes.

Naturally, she couldn’t stand greedy people who tried to take advantage of her.

Elle, Ian, and Enoch, only reacted in wonder. They saw her for who she was, and just like the first time she met them, she realized once again that she’d met some really nice people.

“I’m just thankful.”

“Huh?”

“What?”

She couldn’t control the overwhelming feelings in her heart, so Leticia hugged Elle and Ian at the same time. The two were embarrassed, but laughed shallowly and patted Leticia on the back.

Ian slowly managed to escape from her arms, and said with a calm expression.

“Does my brother know?”

“Hey, why are you asking her that? Of course she would have told us first.”

Elle tapped Ian’s forearm, wondering why he’d asked, but Leticia just kept quiet.

The reaction was so strange, that Elle squinted at her suspiciously.

“What? Are you serious? Did he know about it first?”

“….”

As Elle clung to her arm tightly, Leticia smiled awkwardly and asked.

“I’m hungry, what are we going to eat?”

“Hey!”

“Sister!”

As soon as she pushed Elle and Ian’s hands gently away, they approached her with a scary expression. However, Leticia turned around and ran away.

She tried to ignore the sound of them chasing after her.

‘I’m doomed.’

Emil sat down at the desk and clenched his fists, then slumped down on the desk listlessly.

‘What should I do?’

It was all so clear once he concentrated his investigation on the fact that Leticia might bring good luck to those around her instead of misery. Now that he knew, he was puzzled as to why he hadn’t noticed.

Even the butler hinted that only good things seemed to happen, so why did he let it slide.

‘I just thought that it wasn’t misfortune.’

He didn’t expect that she could bring good luck.

It just didn’t stand out.

‘I need to hurry up. I need to have a meeting with my father and tell him the situation.’

Emil passed Diana with a face that had paled with the new truths he’d just realized. However, Diana followed him and pulled on his arm violently.

“Hey, Emil Leroy. We aren’t done talking.”

“I don’t have time to talk to you right now. Let me go.”

“I’ll only ignore so much. Say it again. Would you like to repeat what you were saying about my ability?”

Emil tried to ignore her, but the more he did, the more persistently Diana held onto him and stared belligerently.

Eventually, Emil couldn’t stand it anymore, and spit out everything that he’d been holding in.

“How long are you going to rely on your flower rain?”

“What?”

“Where in the world can you use it? Festivals? Weddings? Maybe a tea party?”

“Hey, you…”

“Isn’t it embarrassing that you’re lecturing me about abilities?”

It was something he could never say because he was always told to be nice to Diana.

Diana had touched a nerve, and he felt relieved after he burst out with everything he’d been holding in until now.

However, Diana’s face turned blue.

“You… Are you finished?”

“So, should I avoid saying unpleasant things when I mean them?”

Emil turned away in annoyance, with a face that showed no sign of regret. He didn’t have time to care about Diana’s feelings right now.

He started to go down the stairs towards the Marquis’ office. Behind him, he heard the sound of footsteps rushing quickly towards him.

“Apologize.”

“What?”

“Apologize before you leave!”

She gripped him tightly, and didn’t seem to want to let him go until he apologized.

Emil pushed Diana’s hand away with a tired look.

“Just let it go.”

“What? Aren’t you ashamed? Don’t act like you know everything!”

“Let go…”

While struggling on the stairs, Diana roughly pushed Emil’s chest, and the shove tilted his body off center. Emil tried to grab the stair railing, but his body was already falling backwards.

“Huh…?”

Instinctively, he reached out to Diana. Far from helping, Diana just stood there in shock with a puzzled look on her face.

‘I don’t have time for this…’

As he was thinking that he needed to quickly visit his father, he plummeted down the stairs.

Then it all went dark.
