“Did your brother know about it too?”

“Yeah? Uh-huh.”

Amidst my confusion, Adelia mentioned Cairn.

“And Lucas hasn’t come to see you since the clash with your brother?”

“Yeah. He never showed up again after that. Perhaps something came up, he got busier, and he never came back.”

“Hmm, really?”

Adelia fell silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. Then, in a very quiet voice, she muttered something.

“This time, you did well.”

“What did you say?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Harena, let’s stop talking about that and go inside. It’s cold. Shall we go in?”

“Oh, sure. Let’s go in.”

After concluding the discussion about Lucas Acre, we entered the mansion. After having breakfast together, we prepared to go outside. Today, Adelia planned to show me around Crayton Castle and its surroundings.

“Harena, are you ready?”

“Yeah, I’m ready.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Adelia and I had a delightful time, riding in the carriage and exploring various parts of the castle. We tasted delicious foods unique to the territory and bought clothes worn exclusively by the locals as souvenirs.

In the following days, I continued to explore different places in the territory with Adelia. Before I knew it, a week had passed since I arrived in Lushatra.

“Now, should I start talking about it?”
After spending another fulfilling and joyful day, I found myself alone in the room. I once again reminded myself of the purpose of my visit here, even though it was undoubtedly because I missed Adelia, the most important goal was to resolve the engagement with Cairn.

“I must tell him tomorrow.”

Determined, I contemplated how to convey my thoughts to Adelia and fell asleep. The next morning, after having breakfast, we settled on the terrace for tea time.

“The sunlight is warm and nice today. It must be because Harena is here with me.”

In response to Adelia’s words, I smiled faintly without saying anything.

“Stop being like that. How about Harena stays here instead of going to the capital?”

“What?”

“If Harena likes it. Of course, not everyone may like it.”

Adelia said with a mischievous tone.

“Well, to be honest, I haven’t ruled out that thought.”

While I immediately disciplined myself not to interfere with a friend’s honeymoon, Adelia continued playfully, “Really?”

“Yeah. When you got married and left the capital, I really missed you and wanted to see you.”

“Me too. You don’t know how sad it was to want to see Harena for a while after coming here. We really knew each other’s thoughts.”

“Because we’re friends.”

“Exactly. Because we’re friends.”

Adelia’s eyes showed a touch of emotion as she responded with a bright smile.
Seeing her reaction, it seemed that the timing of bringing up this topic wasn’t ideal, but I couldn’t help it. Since I had decided to talk about it today, I had to somehow manage.

“But Adelia.”

“Yeah?”

“I… I didn’t want to say this. Because now you have Calix by your side.”

“Ah…”

Adelia seemed to understand what I was saying, and she couldn’t say anything more.

“But having Calix by my side doesn’t mean you’re not important. However…”

Suddenly, Adelia grabbed my hand, and with a firm grip, she said, “I understand. I feel the same way. No matter where we are or who we are with, we remain each other’s most precious friends, right?”

In response to my words, Adelia nodded.

“Well, I can’t leave it alone because my brother won’t.”

“What?”

“Harena is my brother’s fiancée. He won’t let you stay here easily.”

Saying that, Adelia pursed her lips.

“Cairn…”

“Cairn? Harena, since when did you start calling my brother by his name?”

“Huh? It’s not like that…”

Continuing to call Cairn by his name, I ended up making a mistake. Although I tried to recover somehow, Adelia’s mouth opened faster.

“Huh? When did you become so close with my brother?”

“Well, that’s… the Duke told me to address him casually…”

“Why bring the Duke into this again? You can be casual in front of me.”

“No, it’s just…”

Adelia relentlessly pressed me with questions.
However, due to my excessive embarrassment, my mind blanked out, and the words wouldn’t come out properly.

“What happened between you and my brother?”

“…What happened?”

“Yeah. Oh, by the way, you two should get married, right? Have you discussed marriage?”

“Marriage? No, marriage is not on the table yet…”

“Really?”

“…Yeah.”

“Hmm, what’s my brother thinking?”

Adelia tilted her head, wearing a puzzled expression.

Now was the moment. Earlier, the timing seemed off, but now it appeared just right.

“Adelia, um, there’s something I need to tell you.”

“Tell me? What is it?”

“I… I’m planning to study abroad.”

“Study abroad?”

“Yeah. A good opportunity has come up, and I really want to take it.”

“Wow, studying abroad. That’s great!”

Adelia clapped and seemed genuinely thrilled.

“What are you planning to study? Probably something related to plants, right?”

“Yeah. It’s the field I’m most interested in, so I want to delve deeper into it.”

“That’s really great. Have you decided where you’ll go?”

“I’m thinking of going to the Uspiron Empire.”

Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…

Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.

Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.

The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”

When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
