"So that's why…"
Mrs. Victoria looked down while biting her lips. She had this complicated expression on her face as if she didn't know how to feel upon hearing my explanation. I observed her reaction and was relieved when I saw her pretty calm in taking this.
"Yes. It's too late to keep a low profile, now my secrets are out. But I can at least minimize the effect by enduring."
"But it won't solve the root of the problem. It will only cause you unnecessary suffering!"
Well, she is not wrong with that. However, despite staying obedient, what else could I do? Without money, parents, or relatives to support me, it's like basically going into the war naked. Furthermore, I got such a bad reputation. It's a miracle how I made it this far.
"Don't worry. I said it before, right? I'm used to it already. It's okay as long as I endure it just a little bit more."
