I Become The Wife of The Male Lead Chapter 135

Miss,

Leander ca to my office. He has a bit of an awkward look on his face.

Whats going on?

Actually, I think this is sothing we should handle on our own but its been getting strange recently, so I have to report it.

Please, tell .

The number of people wandering around the mansion has increased.

Hmm, this was constantly on the report paper recently. Ever since I returned from the dead land, the number of people roaming the mansion gradually increased. However, it was impossible to catch and lock them all up because they were only walking around near the Heilon mansion. Therefore, I just told the soldiers and knights to be more careful than usual.

Should we tighten our security?

They are not hostile or anything like that, like usual. They dont know how to hide their presence, and they dont even try to break in. They even run away just with our threatening look.

But?

Leander hesitated, A child ca to day, and what he said is a little bit unusual. I think Miss should give it a listen.

If Leander said this, he must have a good reason.

I nodded, Where is the kid?

She is still at the front door. Shall I bring her to the drawing-room?

No, Im going to the front door.

I paused for a mont before leaving. At the desk, there were so snacks that the chefs made for to eat while working. Among them are candies. I quickly wrapped those candies and then left the office.

In front of the front door stood a girl of no more than ten years of age. Looking at her old clothes, it was clear that she was a child from a poor family among the commoners.

The child stared up at with her light brown eyes.

Is this older sisters na Fiona?

I looked into the childs eyes, and nodded, Yeah, thats right. What is your na?

Riz.

Okay, Riz. Why did you co to my house? I asked kindly.

I want to ask sothing.

And what is that?

Riz pursed her lips, is it true that you can save my older brother?

What?

What is this again? But Rizs face didnt look like she was lying.

Who said that?

My mom.

Can you tell your moms na?

The child spoke her mothers na clearly.

It was soone I didnt know. In addition to that, it was a na that four out of the commoner won would have.

Who did your mom say she heard the story from?

Riz flapped her arms. Ah, she said she heard it from a very precious high-ranking person. My mother called him The Count,

Aha, why cant I imdiately guess who the person was? Inwardly, I gnashed my teeth. That fuckin Bill Curtis, how dare he sold my na out.

I asked as gently as possible. Riz, so what happened to your older brother?

I dont know. But my mom said that my brother was punished by heaven for making a mistake and thats why he couldnt even have a grave.

I rembered the town where the darkness reached. Obviously, it was a difficult place to find even a body. Rizs brother was probably one of the poor unlucky people who was struck by the darkness.

My mom said my brother could co back if the Count helps us. After that, the three of us can live happily.

Did your mom miss him a lot?

A lot. The three of us have lived together ever since my dad died.

I could see the childs family condition. Even in poor families in general, the parents were still taking good care of their children to so extent. But Rizs appearance didnt show that care at all. Her tangled hair was not combed, and there was no sign of soone sewing her old clothes. It was clear that she has not been cared by her parent for so ti.

I put the candy in her pocket, Can you tell when was the last ti you saw your mothers face?

Three days ago.

That ant she hasnt co back since.

Riz blushed as if she thought she was bad-talking her mother. But before my brother died my mom was always sweet and always there for .

Children always blindly followed their parents.

I looked at her blankly, a bit distraught.

I miss my mom, and I miss my brother too. Can older sister really save my brother, as the Count said?

Sniff.

Leander, standing behind , took out his handkerchief and blew his nose. He has a daughter about Rizs age, so he must have rembered his daughter.

I sighed as I looked into the childs clear eyes, I can not.

Anyway, I cant tell lies.

Dead people can never co back, Riz.

Her brown eyes looked at the ground with a gloomy light.

.

I tucked Rizs tangled hair behind her ear, and said softly, instead, Ill try to get your mother back ho.
