I Won't Go Back To My Family Who Abandon Me novel Chapter 79

“Isn’t it amazing?”

It was a sunny afternoon, just right for a tea party. The countess had organized a tea party with only a few noble women, and said this carefully.

The other noble ladies didn’t understand what she was saying, and asked with a strange look.

“What’s amazing?”

“It rained first on Lord Achilles territory.”

Strangely, it rained a few days later as the other nobles followed the duke’s example, and toured their respective territories.

It may just be an exquisite coincidence, but there has been constant good news from the Achilles family this year.

“Only good things have happened to them this year.”

“Are you talking about how he finally became a knight to the Imperial family?”

“Miss Achilles’ new business selling to young ladies did well too.”

“Young master Achilles’ even became an Imperial official.”

“Come to think of it, it’s really fascinating.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

A baroness, who was quietly drinking her tea, said with a slightly uncomfortable look.

“But there were nobles who collapsed at their party last time…”

“Oh, that’s right. That did happen.”

All the nobles knew that Duke Achilles was banned from entering the palace for a while because of this.

“There’s gossip around that too…”

“Oh, my. What’s that?”

“In fact, all of the aristocrats that collapsed…”

They all owned Rose Velvet diamonds.

Surprised by the words the countess whispered quietly, the ladies gasped and looked around in shock.

“Really?”

“It’s true, there are rumors that the miners who worked at the mine collapsed in a similar way.”

“Oh, my. Oh, my goodness. If that’s true, weren’t they falsely accused?”

“I’m not sure, so we’ll have to wait and see.”

On the surface, the Leroy family was still in good shape, so everyone decided to be cautious about what they said.

At that time, one of the ladies said something that she suddenly remembered.

“In that sense, the Leroy family is amazing too.”

“What’s going on with the Leroy family?”

“I don’t think I’ve heard any good news lately.”

“The children of that family are all talented, what could be going on?”

Knowledge, swordsmanship, and magic, it was a family that had three geniuses that they could be proud of. There was even a joke that Marquis Leroy was loved by God because all of the businesses he touched were successful.

“Wasn’t the young master famous for being a genius?”

“He was very famous, since before he was ten years old. I was eager to see him pass the Imperial exam.”

“But he failed to become an Imperial official…”

“I thought he would pass, but I was really surprised to hear that he failed.”

“Did he really fail?”

“Really? I didn’t know, but something must have happened.”

Everyone thought that Emil Leroy would’ve passed the Imperial Civil Service exam.

However, when he fell short of expectations, the nobles wondered what was going on.

“Didn’t the young master, who was talented in swordsmanship, come in second place during the tournament?

“It’s a pity that he didn’t get first place, but he did win second place.”

“That’s right. The youngest daughter, who was attending the Academy of Magic, left the house.”

“Oh my, I hadn’t heard that. She left the house?”

“She dropped out of the academy and moved into her uncle’s house.”

“There must be something going on for her to drop out of the magic academy.”

“Are they having a lot of bad luck this year? I don’t think I’ve heard of anything good happening.”

Everyone was gossiping about the unexpected news.

“I think it’s punishment.”

“Punishment?”

“It doesn’t make sense that you can abandon your biological child and then do well.”

Among the constantly flowing conversations, the main issue by far was the news that Marquis Leroy had excommunicated his eldest daughter, Leticia Leroy.

Some people understood how much of a failure a daughter would have to be for her to be expelled, but many people still thought that abandoning a child was out of the question.

“I heard this from my husband.”

During the conversation, a viscountess read the atmosphere, and said.

“This is what I heard Count Aster had said ‘Everytime I’m with the young miss, who was expelled from the Leroy family, good things happened.’”

“Oh, I heard that too.”

There was once a rumor that Leticia’s ability was to cause misfortune. However, Count Aster quickly stomped out that rumor and erased them from memory.

“It seems that Countess Aster is in good health thanks to that girl. And this is a bit strange…”

“What is it? Hurry up and tell us.”

The viscountess wondered aloud if she should continue. The other ladies, who were listening intently, urged her to quickly speak.

Eventually, she pretended that she couldn’t win and told them everything that she’d heard from her husband.

“They’re saying that the pink diamonds, which haven’t been seen in decades, came out thanks to her.”

“What? Does that even make sense?”

“I don’t think that’s right.”

“But I can’t confirm that it’s not true. Hasn’t only good things happened since she became a member of the Achilles family?”

“….?”

At the end, everyone looked at the Countess with questioning expressions. In response, the countess couldn’t hide her embarrassment and spoke as if she was making excuses.

“Come to think of it, whenever something good happened to the Achilles family, I think she was there.”

“That’s what I heard.”

“These days, more and more aristocrats are willing to invest in the pink diamond mine.”

“My parents also tried to invest, but Duke Achilles refused.”

“But isn’t Count Aster investing?”

“Maybe it’s because Duke Achilles and Count Aster have a special relationship.”

Before they knew it, the conversation shifted to the banquet at the Imperial Palace that was held around this time of year. It was always dazzling, colorful and luxurious, making it the most anticipated party for the nobles.

However, the ladies were distracted by something else.
