They couldn’t help but wonder what Raul was talking about.

Justus turned his head, somewhe depyply looking at the portrait of his mother on the wall, and suddenly realized that this portrait resembled Bertha even mixe
He wondered what his mother actually looked like.
Joshua recalled that afternoon when his mother died, in the midst of a torrential rain, her body covered in blood
At that time, he was not yet ten years old. So many years have passed, and the memories have blurred.
Over time, due to Kauf’s misleading, all the sons came to believe that their mother looked just like the portrait, and that Margaery did not resemble her.
In the end, they unwittingly fell into the trap set by Tessa, and Raul was an accomplice.
As a father, be planted the seeds of evil in his sons when they were young, allowing these seeds to take root and sprout within them, turning them into narrow–minded, base individuals just like his younger self.
Joshua even thought, after suspecting that Tessa might not be his biological sister, about the comparison he made between Tessa and Phillipa, he believed that Phillipa could be the lady of the house.
However, it was Tessa who was truly able to enter his heart. This wasn’t any different from the way Raul viewed Wrenna and
Bertha,
These thoughts churned in Joshua’s mind as he suddenly looked at Raul
He felt that Raul’s aged appearance resembled a demon, a vengeful spirit, and yet all five brothers were this man’s sons.
Therefore, they were rotten to the bone from the start.
Margaery was the one Raul despised. She was pushed out, wronged, excluded, and abused, but at the same time, this allowed her to escape the Wallen family’s sea of suffering and curse, she soared high.
But the five brothers would never have another chance.
Good and evil seemed to reverse in an instant, truly fulfilling the saying. “Fortune and misfortune are intertwined,

misfortune is where fortune rests.”
Joshua stood dazed at the doorway.
He looked at Raul’s shell, feeling as if it were a decaying corpse with dark maggots crawling out from within.
A wave of nausea suddenly surged in his heart.
Joshua broke down, howling as he rushed into the night. After falling into the snow, he clutched his head and wailed in despair.
The doctors left the Wallen family cautiously, each with a strange expression.
Once outside, they began to talk among themselves.
“The Wallen family is not simple at all. There must be something going on with Raul. Did you hear the crazy things he’s saying now?” one of them started.
“Yes, yes, I really didn’t expect him to be this kind of person,” the second doctor replied.
Another one shook his head. “For Princess of Glowsend to be born into such a family, it’s truly the misfortune of a lifetime.”
“A fish rots from the head down!” the next person added.
“It is precisely because the Wallen father and sons excluded her that she was able to escape the mire. If they had truly liked and doted on her, wouldn’t she have grown crooked as well?” someone murmured,
“Exactly, exactly. Everything has its cause and effect. Until the very last moment, no one knows whether what has happened is truly beneficial to themselves.”
That late at night, those people unexpectedly had different realizations. “Princess of Glowsend is formidable. After leaving that family, she is a completely different person. She emerges unstained from the mire, this is what it means.”
“No wonder she is a disciple of the Chapel of Wisdom,” another voice followed, quieter,
The crowd spoke as they gazed toward the royal palace, all sharing the same thought: the current King, too, was a disciple of the Chapel of Wisdom.
*****
Late at night, Joshua, as if driven by fate, went to the inn where Margaery was staying.
In a certain moment, he felt as if he and Margaery were connected by blood; she was like a ray of light, drawing him closet.
It seemed that only by approaching her could he find redemption. He also wanted to climb out of this quagmire.
