Ethan Must Die
Earlene and Ethan were both walking together in the mansion's corridors while discussing something. Now that Ethan had dropped his act, the perception that Ethan was a retard was getting overturned as a misunderstanding and mindless rumors.
In fact, as someone who underwent an early awakening for ten days and survived—no one would even believe that Ethan could be anything but a genius.
Those so-called scholars who had rejected him were now bawling their eyes out in regret. While Earlene was starting to earn more fame and prestige as Ethan's ceremonial tutor despite being so young.
She had become an idol for many young noble and commoner ladies as they looked up to her and aspired to become like her; which was the same thing Earlene wished for. She wanted more influence and to initiate reform.
"Won't you tell me? Why did you suddenly drop the act?" Earlene asked earnestly in a pleading tone.
