I kept pulling the baby up as it kept sliding down. My arms were already tired. Looking at it, the baby had plump cheeks and arms. The belly, filled with pink clothing, was cute itself. I had the urge to poke the protruding belly.

But what’s cute is cute, and it’s really heavy. It’s hard for me to turn around even one guest room alone. Should I carry it on my back instead?

And the baby was still crying. What was so displeasing? It was tightly gripping my hair with both hands.

“Ah, stop pulling my hair. It hurts. What’s so dissatisfying? Is the way I’m holding you uncomfortable? I should have known how to hold a baby.”

I tried to adjust the position here and there, but it wasn’t easy. In the end, I decided to find the guardian quickly, and I knocked on the door of the next room.

The secondclass room was a fourperson room.

The door opened, and the person who came out was an unexpected figure.

“Lady Silla? Did you come looking for me? We connect so well. I was just thinking about you. Your beautiful purple hair and angellike long eyelashes…….”

“Waaa!”

The baby eventually started crying loudly again.

“Oh, you’re traveling with a cute baby lady. What makes the lovely pink princess cry so?”

Ternya threw a tender smile at the baby. He gently stroked the baby’s cheek.

The baby cried louder with caution, and I forced a smile.

“Oh, Silla. If it’s okay with you, can I help you a little?”

It was a welcome sound in the midst of hearing. The baby had slipped down almost to my stomach.

“Yes, I’m shamelessly asking for your help. Please help.”

“It’s my honor.”

Ternya smoothly said, naturally picking up the baby.

“Ah, my head.”

The baby didn’t let go of my hair, so Ternya naturally loosened the baby’s fingers.

Phew, if it wasn’t for Ternya, it would have been a disaster.

I massaged my scalp.

The baby cried loudly again in the new embrace, unfamiliar.

“Baby princess, don’t cry. It’s heartbreaking as if my heart will tear when crystals flow down your beautiful cheeks.”

Ternya spoke softly, naturally swinging the baby up and down.

I thought he was just talking to me like that, but it was just a habit of speech.

It was a relief, but in a way, it was a little disappointing.

He wasn’t infatuated with me. Shoot, I thought…. I really thought I was like a fairy.

“Shhh. Yes. Dignified and lovely baby lady.”

I snapped back to reality. An amazing thing had happened in front of me. The baby, who had never stopped crying, was surprisingly quiet. When Ternya tickled the side, it even laughed out loud.

People looked different. It seemed like there was a halo behind Ternya.

“Ternya! The baby stopped crying. How on earth did you do that? It’s really amazing.”

“The princess simply graciously opened her heart. More importantly, Silla, do you already have such a baby? I was blinded by your beauty and didn’t notice anything else. To conceive such a beautiful life. You are not a fairy but a goddess. I’ve decided to respect you from today.”
“No, I’m sorry to disappoint, but it’s not my child. When I went out of the room, I found it alone in the hallway. So I was looking around the rooms to see if there was a guardian nearby.”

“How pitiable, my gentle Shuria. In that case, I want to help too, if you will allow it.”

“If you do, I’m so, so, so happy!”

Ternya smiled, eyes twinkling.

“I like Lady Shuria very much.”

Huh? That wasn’t the meaning.

I was flustered.

“Shuria.”

Yes, it was exactly at times like this that Idrish would appear.

His voice was very harsh. Clearly, I had no relationship with Idrish, and no relationship with Ternya, but I felt like a caught adulteress?

“Idrish, this is Ternya I mentioned earlier. Thankfully, he’s helping to find the child’s guardian.”

Idrish slowly faced Ternya. Even with the loud train noise, the silence was unbearable.

Sparks seemed to fly between the two’s glares.

Ternya gave me a friendly smile.

“Are you Shuria’s husband?”

Husband? Spouse?

I waved my hands.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Not like that?”

This time, Idrish looked at me. With a face as if ready to devour…

Mother.

I finally remembered that we had agreed to pretend to be a couple on the train.

One could forget for a moment. Idrish, could you look away? I feel a little pricked by your gaze now.

Idrish’s eyes flickered and looked back at Ternya.

“Shuria is my wife.”

“Oh, a flower with an owner; truly a tragedy for me. Then again, if a lovely woman like Shuria were still alone, it would mean the eyes of all the men in the world were on the back of their heads. Ha ha.”

Ternya laughed heartily. I relaxed slightly, hearing words that meant he had no intention of competing with Idrish. He wasn’t really my husband, and I didn’t know why I had to care about Idrish’s feelings, but it seemed like the right thing to do.

But my guard was down.

“But you never know with people, do you? Even if Shuria is as beautiful as a flower, she is not really a flower. People have free will, so she can escape outside the fence if she wants. Where? Right into my arms!”

Yikes. He must be crazy.
