The Marquess And Spirit Witch
The Feeling of Not Dead

Flashbacks

Gwen saw Eugene's gaze still blank. It seemed that Eugene would not be able to feel anything even if he was seriously ill later on.

"Sorry, I just got home, dad" said Eugene limp.

"It's okay. I understand why you left when it was raining like this. You've been trying." said Gwen softly as she patted her son's shoulder.

"...sorry."

"Clean your body and come to your mother's room. We'll talk a little." Gwen smiled faintly and left Eugene who was still standing at the door.

"Young Master, the hot water is ready" said the waiter.

"Thank you.."

Episode 45's

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Eugene immediately went to his mother's room. His gaze was still empty like that. His steps were so limp.

As soon as she reached her mother's room, she knocked on the door.

poke!poke!

"Come in." replied Gwen from the inside. Eugene entered without hesitation.

Gwen sits next to Grace, her 4-month-old pregnant wife. Eugene doesn't know why his father called him to his mother's room rather than the study.

"Eugene, sit here."

Eugene approached his mother. He sat down at the side and was silent without saying a word.

Grace smiled bitterly at Eugene.The green eyeball that was like her eyes no longer sparkled as it was.

"It hurts so much?" ask mother.

"What does mother mean?" eugene asked.

"We don't have to hide your feelings in front of your mother, son" Gwen assured her son. They knew Eugene's current chaotic thoughts, his unbalanced feelings, his weakened mentality, and his overflowing emotions. Eugene held it all in front of his parents.

"I'm.it's okay." replied Eugene limp.

Grace smiled. He rubbed the pale face of his son.

"You know, Eugene? The death of a person no one knows. Sooner or later everyone will die if it's time. But, their feelings for the one they truly love at the end of life will never die with them."

"How can you know?.when you haven't felt it."

"of course. I learned from your grandfather."

"Grandfather?.."

"really. Did you know that your grandparents did not love each other at all?" ask Gwen.

"They don't love each other?." asked Eugene still blankly. He's not like a curious person.

"Yes. They're matched. To be honest, your father and your late aunt got their affection as a parent's responsibility. They seemed to love each other in front of the two of us, even if the originals did not. But they don't hate each other either. Until finally your grandmother got sick and so bad. Your grandfather left his job to accompany his wife whom he didn't even love at all. Until one day when your grandmother could no longer survive, they only realized the feelings of the two of them who were buried for so long and did not dare to reveal to each other. In your grandmother's last second, she expressed her feelings and breathed her last."

Eugene was slightly stunned to hear that last sentence. Like, like himself and Adel.

"Then.what happened to Grandpa after grandma's death?" ask Eugene.

Gwen smiled faintly. He also continued his story.

"Your grandfather is so depressed. He almost tried to kill himself with the poison but his immunity to the poison made the experiment fail. About 1 month, she ignored your father and aunt, leaving us both to the nanny. Then, when your grandfather was about to actually end his life. She keeps thinking about your grandmother. Smiles, voices, and also his attention that at that time he was not aware of his feelings. Your grandfather said the words he remembers so much from your grandmother are 'Love does weaken you, but love also makes you strong. Losing someone you love and love you will not take away your feelings'. From that moment on your grandfather began to rise. He tried his hardest to survive with his two children for the sake of his late wife."

Tears flowed from both eyes without her noticing. Her chest was so claustrophobic considering all the things about the girl. His last will to look after Albert, if he hadn't done that Adel would have been disappointed and angry at him later.

"Ahh.so.."

Eugene looked straight ahead.The eyes widened to see the figure of the girl who was buried this morning standing behind Gwen.

"I will continue to support and watch over you from above, Eugene. We'll meet again someday. Until then, watch Albert and be happy. I love you so much."

The figure disappeared as soon as it expressed its feelings 'again' clearly on Eugene.His body began to tremble.Gwen immediately hugged Eugene tightly and rubbed his son's head gently.

"You've survived this well. I'm proud of you. Remember that girl to keep you strong enough to live your life, Eugene" Gwen said.

Eugene could no longer hold back his tears. He cried loudly in his father's arms. His body trembled even more considering Adel who was dying on his lap at that time.

"It's okay.cry as much as you."

Eugene cried long enough to fall asleep next to his mother. He must be so tired of holding this all by himself.

"Eugene is an adult. I think he's still a kid who ran crying to his mom for a fight with Noah" Grace said, rubbing Eugene's hair softly.

"That's a very long time ago. Soon she has a sister she needs to take care of. Plus, Prince Albert will be very dependent on him and Noah and the crown prince because there is no more Adeline's daughter next to him" Gwen said.

"On a day that should have been the first happy day of her life, it turned into the last day for her" Grace said.

"The poor girl. If only the queen mother had not been obsessed with the throne and power, none of this would have happened" he continued.

Suddenly a thought passed through Gwen.Grace's brain that saw Gwen suddenly showed a serious face thinking of being astonished.

"What's wrong??" tanyakanya.

"I remembered the document Noah gave me this morning. A document containing all the words of the queen mother against Noah at the palace with Albert. And among those words was a word that felt awkward.when Noah took the queen mother to prison, he said 'I did this all for the sake of my granddaughter and my son.' so roughly." replied Gwen.

"What's?.. Didn't the queen mother say she would give up all responsibilities in the palace and lock herself up?..Even the whereabouts of princess Adeline and Prince Albert are still kept secret including from the queen mother.."

"I asked him why the queen mother would suddenly come to Adeline's debutante daughter. He said because the queen mother saw a crowd of people who brought a lot of dresses and clothes of boys so she would come to bring gifts even though she did not know what event. But, Baginda did not seem to dare to oppose the queen mother even though he knew there was a hidden purpose behind the reason the queen mother came." explained Gwen.

"That means someone told you something about Adeline's daughter and Prince Albert to the queen mother." Grace murmured.

"Daughter Michella..."

"?!"

Grace assured his words.Although Gwen was a little surprised, but her mind was the same as his wife's.

'Ah! Grace's thinking is corroborated by Noah's past. He said he was punished by Michella's daughter who accused him of attempted murder of the emperor's family for refusing his love. The one who can brainwash the princess is the one who is close to her.It is not wrong.'

"Eugh.."

Gwen and Grace's thoughts stopped when they heard Eugene purring. He's still fast asleep.

"You better rest.Take care of our child." Gwen rubbed his wife's stomach and Eugene's hair. He stood up and put on his coat to leave.

"Where are you going?" ask Grace.

"Solve all of these issues as soon as possible" replied Gwen. He kissed his wife and left.

"Sir, where are you going?" ask the butler.

"I'm going to the palace.Prepare the horse-drawn carriage.Contact him and Marquess Luxbello to hold an emergency meeting.And also.Redirect Eugene's attention not to come to the palace or go out of the house. Let him rest." replied Gwen. The butler smiled warmly and nodded in understanding.

"Well, according to your orders."

Gwen went to the palace and solved all the problems and made her son feel calm.

'Noah will definitely smooth all this out according to his revenge intent.'
