This generation's Saintess Flora is the daughter of Landon's wet nurse and also Landon's childhood sweetheart.

When she was little, she liked to stick to Landon and followed behind him, calling him "Brother Landon". After becoming a Saintess, she seemed to enter puberty, and her personality became quite weird.

After recovering the memories of his previous life, Landon understood that this was because Flora's character was designed as a tsundere Saintess.

In fact, Landon was a bit fed up with the tsundere attitude and regarded Flora only as his younger sister.

However, his wet nurse always wanted to pair them up... Landon firmly believed that one of the reasons Flora hated him was because she felt forced to marry him.

But since Landon lost his mother at a young age and his wet nurse was one of his most important people, he tolerated Flora's temper for the sake of his wet nurse and their childhood friendship.

It was just puberty, and his reputation wasn't that good either, so it was normal for Flora to have prejudices against him. As someone he regarded as his own sister, he still had to take care of her.

Moreover, Flora was more restrained in front of her mother, so the wet nurse always thought their relationship was not bad.

"Ah, young master, trust me." The wet nurse was determined and got up to leave, "I'm going to the temple to find her right now!"

Just as Landon was busy persuading her, Helena happened to come looking for him and saw the noisy scene.

Hearing the keywords "temple" and "Flora", Helena, his long-haired blue sister, frowned subconsciously and said, "Landon, didn't I tell you before? Don't bother Her Highness the Saintess anymore."

The wet nurse and Landon both stopped at the same time.

"Miss Helena, it has nothing to do with the young master. I want to see my daughter," the wet nurse said disapprovingly, "The young master has never bothered Flora."

Helena sighed.

Landon's wet nurse was good in every aspect, but she spoiled her child too much and always liked to protect Landon, which was not a good thing.

Her younger brother's path towards being a prodigal son was not entirely her wet nurse's fault, but it definitely had a significant impact.

It was because the duchess had died early and the wet nurse only loved Landon, and the duke was irresponsible, that she had to fill in the "strict" part to not spoil Landon... but the effect was minimal.

When Landon was seriously injured and near death, Flora came to heal him and asked her to tell Landon not to go to the temple looking for her again.

The Saintess spoke with a disgusted tone at the time.

"Because of him, I can't even be happy when my mother comes to see me. All she talks about is him! I don't want to hear it!"

Helena had known for a long time from the Saintess that Landon always found excuses to go to the temple.

Now, it seemed that the Saintess refused to see him, and he wanted his wet nurse to pass on messages!

With Flora's words as evidence, no matter what the wet nurse said, Helena thought she was just covering up for Landon.

The wet nurse also understood Helena and saw from her expression what she was thinking.

With a helpless look on her face, the wet nurse wanted to continue explaining, "Miss Helena..."

"Forget it, wet nurse." Landon interrupted her, "Let's go to the temple together."

Was explaining useful?

He had explained countless times over the past few years without any results.

In the absence of tangible evidence, Helena had always believed what she wanted to believe— the wet nurse's words were not proof. In Helena's eyes, as long as it was about him, the words of his doting wet nurse had no credibility.

So before obtaining concrete evidence, he couldn't bother with public opinion and didn't want to trouble his wet nurse.

He needed to clear his name first, do his own thing, and then consider other things.

The wet nurse's attention was immediately shifted by Landon, and she was surprised, "Really? You agree?"

"Yeah, although she said she doesn't want to see me again, she did save my life. I should at least formally thank her. Even if I end up being stopped outside the temple, it's worth a try."He really couldn't figure out the girl's thoughts.

In the past, there were many times when Flora said she didn't want to see him anymore, but when they met again, she complained that he didn't know how to be grateful and didn't even give a thank-you gift. He said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to see me?" Flora got angry and said, "So I said I don't want to see you, and you really don't come to see me?"

Although there is a possibility that she really doesn't want to see him, it is better to clarify things face to face.

If Flora is serious, it would be a good opportunity to have a thorough break with her before the male protagonist of the game arrives in the imperial capital.

Most importantly, if he leaves things to his wet nurse alone, who knows how much resentment she will bring him... he'd better handle it himself.

The wet nurse's face lit up with delight, "You've finally agreed! In that case, hurry up and change your clothes! Oh, and don't forget the wheelchair..."

"Today, we don't need the wheelchair. I just didn't want to stand for so long yesterday."

Helena hesitated to speak on the side.

How strange, looking at the wet nurse's demeanor, it seemed as if the wet nurse had insisted on Landon going, but Landon was unwilling to see the saint...

Did she misunderstand Landon again?

But if it was a misunderstanding, what did the saint's words mean?... It is necessary to consider the saint's intention, but Landon's statement also makes some sense...

Since Helena had just misunderstood Landon last night and didn't apologize properly, she was feeling a little guilty.

Originally, she came here after thinking about it all night, finally determined to ease her relationship with Landon.

But before she could even say a word of apology, she found that she might have misunderstood Landon again, and she suddenly felt embarrassed. She couldn't express her opinions as straightforwardly as usual and was somewhat hesitant.

Should she repeat the saint's request again? Or should she take the opportunity to express her apologies first?

"Miss, would you like to avoid this for a moment? The Duke is changing his clothes..."

As Helena was struggling, the maid's tactful persuasion brought her back to reality.

She looked up and saw that another maid had already undone Landon's pajama chest straps, exposing the young man's upper body!

Although Landon had a noble young master's demeanor, his muscles were smooth and beautiful—nobles always pursued elegance, and exaggerated muscles like those of a strongman were considered lowly. Therefore, their martial arts training had its method, and the visual effect was better than that of pure warriors.

Helena had never seen a scene like this before.

Realizing what she had seen, Helena's beautiful face instantly turned red, even spreading to her delicate neck.

In her heart, Landon had always been an image of a disobedient child.

Even when she learned that Landon often went to brothels with his friends, she thought that others had led him astray.

But now, the maid referred to Landon as the Duke, which gave an inexplicable adult feeling. Combined with suddenly seeing the legendary abs...

Helena finally realized that Landon was no longer the younger brother who needed her discipline.

He was already the Duke, and soon to be an adult, capable of being regarded as a man.

"I... I'll leave right away, I'm sorry..."

Helena, who had always demanded perfection in herself, turned her head and left the room very rudely.

Ah-

That's right! She was still here! Landon was too careless!

Thinking about it, Helena felt down again, realizing Landon had been ignoring her from the beginning to the end.

He only talked to his wet nurse, not even a glance at her.

Is he still holding a grudge about yesterday's incident?

She should have apologized to Landon first, but accidentally lectured him again... Although she didn't agree with Landon going to the temple, she just hoped that the saint would tell Landon face to face, so as to prove that she didn't talk nonsense.

After an unknown period, Landon finally changed his clothes and came out.Helena quickly pulled herself together and stepped forward, saying, "Landon, I'm sorry about yesterday. I made your favorite dessert…"

The funeral was over, and from today on, Landon officially became the Duke of Stuart, marking a new beginning.

Since there was a new beginning, it was best not to let their cold war continue for too long, otherwise, the lack of communication between the two in power would cause great trouble for the family.

Landon must not be aware of this issue. Helena felt it was necessary for her, as the big sister, to be more patient.

Helena hadn't realized it yet.

Although she always reminded herself that she was adopted and therefore her position was not legitimate, after holding power for so many years, she subconsciously felt that controlling the family was a matter of course.

And she believed that if Landon, as the head of the family, disagreed with her, it was a "conflict between the two people in power", not a problem between the head and his assistant.

Hearing Helena's apology, Landon stopped and finally looked at her, "Dessert?"

Seeing that Landon finally looked at her with his eyes, Helena, who had been caught up in Landon's changes and had been worried all night, finally relaxed a bit. Her ice-blue eyes sparkled with joy, her mouth slightly curved up, and she motioned for the maidservant behind her to come forward.

"Yes, I made it in the kitchen this morning, your favorite Madeleine cake…I haven't made it for years, I hope it suits your taste…"

Landon, who was originally casual, suddenly laughed when he heard this, "Ah, I actually haven't liked it for a long time."

Helena was stunned.

She didn't know.

She had been too busy to pay attention to such things for a long time.

The only things that caught her attention were family affairs, and what kind of trouble Landon had caused again, or where his unruly friends had taken him.

As for food and clothing, there were servants who cared about it.

After all, who would dare to starve the son of a Duke?

As a result, she made a rare attempt to apologize, but made such a mistake, which made her seem indifferent toward Landon. In fact, she had always cared for Landon…

Helena's elegant face showed a hint of embarrassment, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Landon didn't make things too difficult for Helena, he just said, "But Flora quite likes it."

Immediately a maidservant understood the hint and went to pack the dessert in a gift box.

Having received an excuse to back down, Helena didn't want to argue about not wanting Landon to go to the temple anymore.

She thought that since Landon had received the gift, the matter of yesterday should have passed, and it would be Landon's immaturity to show displeasure again.

"It's not bad this way; please give my regards to Her Highness the Saintess."

When it came to what the Saintess liked to eat, Landon seemed to remember it very clearly.

That was true. When the Duchess passed away and Helena had to step up, it was the Saintess who accompanied Landon through that difficult time…

But even with such a close relationship, the Saintess now only felt annoyed with Landon. Wasn't this even more proof that there was a big problem with Landon?

Thinking of this, Helena couldn't help but sigh.

She couldn't stop Landon from going to the temple, only hoping that he wouldn't argue with the Saintess and would accept reality without bothering her.
