Even though there was temporary peace, the Dermaier Empire was always on the brink of war.
If barbarism runs rampant outside the nation, it’s hard to maintain dignity within.
Even though noble culture spread like a trend, with women beautifying themselves and engaging in social circles, it was still a time when women were merely spoils of war. In a world where the emotions of women taken by force were not considered important.
Even if he were to twist my neck right here, it wouldn’t be much different from one of my chickens in the coop dying.
He was Rochester, and I was Penel.
Not only my life but the lives of my entire family were hanging on the amnesiac Ricardo. I knew I shouldn’t say anything, but stubbornly, I spoke.
“I will open my eyes when I please. Just tell me what you want. My ears are open.”
Why was I speaking so recklessly when I knew the value of my life?
Sacrificing one’s pride is much easier than sacrificing one’s life.
But then, Ricardo’s intense demeanor suddenly softened. He abruptly pulled back, creating distance between us.
“Anyone would think you’ve encountered a barbarian.”
I involuntarily opened my eyes wide at his attitude.
“All I want from you is one thing. Just to have a conversation while looking into each other’s eyes. It’s just common sense, isn’t it?”
He added with an irritating smile, which made me breathe a sigh of relief. I shook off the sudden anxiety, straightened my dress, and sat back properly in my chair.
“So, will you engage with me?”
“No.”
“Even though I might be your consort?”
“No, you’re not.”
“Since I helped with your manifestation, couldn’t I be your fiancée, even if just for a brief moment?”
He lightly shook his head, as if to say, ‘Definitely not you.’
Yes, I knew it wouldn’t be easy. It was too early to be disappointed.
“Then please tell me why it’s not even possible for a brief moment.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“Why? It’s not for some trivial reason, like I’m not to your taste, or you find the idea of an engagement ceremony too bothersome, is it?”
He shrugged his shoulders and crossed his long legs.
“Discussing taste in the context of an engagement is not a trivial matter…”
“…”
“Why would I engage with a woman who can’t even look me in the eyes? Right?”
“That’s it!”
Looking into your eyes feels like I’m falling off a cliff, as if being pushed off yet filling my eyes only with you, loving you even in life-threatening situations… I feel too ashamed even for myself.
As I paused, seemingly lost for words, Ricardo’s expression, which had been relaxed and smiling just moments ago, hardened. He intensely watched my mouth, waiting for me to speak. But I couldn’t add another word.
“Even now…”
“…”
“I’m just wondering how this is possible.”
I couldn’t hold out any longer and again averted my eyes from him.
“Look at this. You like me this much, yet why do you always want to run away?”
He tilted his head, genuinely curious.
“You’re just enduring this brief time sitting face to face with me.”
“An engagement? That’s laughable,” Ricardo scoffed.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
