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

Episode 34

***

"I'm disappointed, Irene."

Marquess Leroy said as she snapped down the report card.

This one piece of paper caused her to feel sick on the day she'd wanted to relax.

The Marquess looked like she would say more, when Irene spoke up to express her frustration.

"Mother, I can't help it because the test paper disappeared last time."

"Are you proud of losing your test paper?"

"...."

Irene couldn't say anything more after her Mother's dry, emotionless response. When she just lowered her head, the Marquess was looking at her in disappointment and sighed to herself.

"I don't know what your father will say about this report card."

"Mother..."

"At this rate, will you even be able to qualify for the Imperial Wizard's exam?"

Contrary to what her Mother was worried about, Irene was trembling from head to toe.

"I can do it next time. If I get good grades in all my subjects, I'm sure I will qualify."

"Are you confident you won't lose your test papers again?"

"Mother..."

Irene looked at Marquess Leroy with a puzzled look on her face. However, the Marquess' expression did not change as she lightly clicked her tongue.

"I'll keep this report card to myself. The next time you make a stupid mistake I'll tell your father the truth. So pull yourself together."

"Yes, Mother..."

When she nodded helplessly, Marquess Leroy picked up Irene's report card roughly, crumbled it up, and left the drawing room.

Irene was left alone, she swallowed her tears while she clenched her skirt tightly in her hands. What Marquess Leroy said lingered in her ears.

[The next time you make a stupid mistake I'll tell your father the truth. So pull yourself together.]

She ended up hearing something she didn't want to hear the most today.

˜If...'

If I make a mistake again.

˜Will I be abandoned like my eldest sister?'

She wanted to believe it wasn't true, but when she looked at the atmosphere of the house, she wasn't so sure. Marqui Leroy's business was going well, so it was currently going smoothly, but she didn't know when or how it might change.

"No..."

Irene jumped up and ran to her room with a pale face. All she could do right now was read books and study.

˜I'm not going to be kicked out like I'm nobody.'

Like she's useless, like she wasn't needed.

She will show her worth without fail, and regain the trust and love of her parents.

Then she remembered.

[I don't want you to let the gaze of others destroy you.]

[You're precious to me.]

It was a voice she heard every time she studied.

A warm voice that sincerely cared about her.

"...."

As soon as she entered her room and sat down at her desk she belatedly realized who the voice belonged to.

"Sister Leticia..."

Those were the words Leticia had said when she saw Irene mentally crumbling.

[I'm proud of you.]
