So even though he didn't feel the kind of tenderness he really wanted, he still cared about his parents and didn't want to disappoint them.
It wasn't until he went to Duke Talis's house and that incident happened that Koss truly despaired of his parents' knowledge.
He should have realized it sooner. Even though he was the biological son, their attitude towards Will was very unusual, and he just didn't want to believe it.
…
There was quite a lot reflected in the mirror, but I could understand most of it.
The so-called theft incident was a complete fabrication; the blond-haired Kos was framed by a brown-haired boy.
They just didn't understand why Koss didn't confess back then. Why didn't he reveal anything after being arrested? What was he thinking?
They don't know that a person who is disappointed and extremely saddened by their parents is in a state of mind where they don't want to say anything.
Moreover, he doesn't believe his own words are valid because no one can prove them to him.
Just then, a voice suddenly broke out in the crowd: "Why do I feel like this brown-haired guy looks a bit like Master Hertari?"
"I think it looks a lot like it too. I've also heard that young master Hertali was adopted?"
Why do you say that?
"Because the Hertali family has always had blond hair, right?"
"But I heard that it was just that she inherited her mother's hair color."
"However, Kos does have extremely handsome blond hair, just like the Hertali family." But blond hair isn't unique to the Hertali family.
The mirror only showed the entire theft from that day, without explaining their identities. Many noble young men who received invitations that day, although they didn't witness the whole incident, had heard about it while in the banquet hall, and the timeline matched.
Then someone said, "So Koss was wronged. We all misunderstood him."
Then everyone said the same thing: it was a misunderstanding.
But just then, a woman's voice rang out: "Does that mean he didn't steal anything? What if it's a fake?"
Just then, Wan Ge appeared in front of her: "Junior, are you questioning my abilities?"
At the same time, they opened the box and took out Duke Boris's badge ring. The moment the box was opened, they sensed that the ring was extraordinary. No wonder Duke Boris cared so much about this ring.
"This ring was lent to me by Duke Boris, who also wanted to know if he had wronged anyone back then. It is because of this ring that I was able to let everyone see the whole story."
Qin opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know how to say it.
Some of Weir and Qin's supporters continue to question the authenticity of the story.
Just then, the dean appeared before everyone and said in a very certain tone, "Kos could not possibly have stolen anything. Ange's magic mirror is one of the four great artifacts, capable of recreating what an item has experienced. That's why everyone was able to see what just happened, and that scene was all real."
With the dean's words, no one dared to question whether it was true or false. Even if it was false, no one would dare to challenge the dean anymore.
Even Jean, who was standing right next to Will, didn't say another word.
Those unfamiliar with Will wouldn't recognize him, but those who grew up with him know that the brown-haired boy in the mirror is Will. Therefore, Will deliberately framed Kos.
Some people might wonder why, but Qin knew exactly why. It was because he was worried about losing his position as the young master of Hertali. Even though he had been found to have magical talent, he wasn't sure how good he could be without the best teachers.
Moreover, the identity of the young master of the Hertali family is something many people dream of, even those with magical abilities. It's perfectly normal for Will to be reluctant to give up his identity.
The reason why Jean dislikes Kos is not because she loves Will too much, although she does have deep feelings for him. It's just that their family has always prioritized profit, so no matter how deep the feelings are, interests are the most important thing.
Because Koss had always lived in the slums and had no magical talent, Jean had always felt that even if he were her biological son, he wouldn't be as important as Will. That's why she so firmly chose Will.
But she now discovers that her childhood sweetheart, whom she thought was a gentleman, is actually a hypocrite who will stop at nothing to achieve his own interests.
Qin was, after all, still a young girl, unlike the seasoned veterans of her family. She still hoped to marry someone outstanding in both character and appearance. Even if his birth wasn't that of a nobleman, he was handsome, capable, and generally appeared to be a very gentlemanly young nobleman, so she still had feelings for him.
But she doesn't like men who lack character. Will's actions were clearly beneath her dignity. She could disregard his background, but she couldn't accept his behavior; she was clearly too disappointed.
…
All the grievances Kos had suffered were washed away in that instant.
He was extremely happy, but his eyes inexplicably felt warm as he held Wan Ge's hand tightly.
How could his lover be so wonderful? Did he use up all his luck by meeting her?
Wan Ge gripped his hand tightly in return, but her gaze was fixed on Will, who was not far away.
With just that one glance, Will felt inexplicably uneasy. He had a feeling that the woman knew everything, and that one glance sent chills down his spine.
