“By the way… does the butler feed water to the Duke with his mouth?”
“Yes?”
As the butler reacted as if he would jump up, water splashed out of the basin.
“M-Me?”
“The Duke mentioned it before… that you feed him water with your mouth.”
Bernard, looking bewildered by her words, suddenly glanced meaningfully at Elisia.
“He mentioned that he doesn’t remember anything from before.”
Elisia also snapped back to reality.
“Oh, this is something a priest Elisia wouldn’t know about.”
When Illeone turned the conversation in a strange way, she was curious and unintentionally spoke up.
“Ah, haha.”
Bernard awkwardly laughed.
“Could it be related to the fact that the Duke lost his memory when he came here?”
Elisia remained silent and perplexed. Unable to respond, he cheerfully continued.
“It’s okay not to answer, Priest Elisia. I can think as I please. It doesn’t matter much, after all.”
The butler stated firmly.
“Of course, when the Duke is tied to the bed, I feed him water with my mouth.”
“R-Really?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, well.”
Elisia awkwardly smiled and stepped back.
“Since it’s too late, I’ll…”
“Go and rest quickly. Thank you for your help today, Priest.”
As Elisia hurriedly disappeared, Bernard sighed.
“It seems like I fed him water with my mouth again.”
The human called “my master” might be eating the water without even remembering, cursed by some terrible curse.
But Bernard believed in Illeone’s power, thinking that he would surely regain his memory when he got up and left the room.
So he had no choice but to serve with all his heart, even if he had to use his lips.
As long as he could protect the love of the serving master.
“Hurry back, My Lord.”
Bernard glanced at Illeone’s room once again and turned away.
Karina wandered nervously around the wide Duke’s room.
“What’s going on? What exactly happened?”
Seducing Illeone was easy, but it failed.
“I clearly understood, didn’t I?”
She understood his intention, so wasn’t it right to ask where it felt good?
However, the way he reacted after seeing the maid’s outfit, which she wore the next time he didn’t respond, was incomprehensible.
“What are you doing here?”
“I-Ileone asked me to read a book for him.”
Moreover, after he fell asleep, when the maid came into the room with a book and found herself in an embarrassing state without knowing what to do.
“That dress is for the use of the servants of the Duke. Who are you borrowing it from?”
“Uhm, there was no suitable dress for me to change into, so I borrowed it for a moment.”
“To whom? There is no woman servant in the mansion who wears that dress right now.”
Wasn’t it Bernard? The butler blamed her with a sharp attitude.
“The management of the Duke’s residence is my responsibility. Even if you are a guest invited by the Duke, please refrain from casually taking away belongings, so that unfortunate incidents do not occur.”
The butler’s words were correct. There shouldn’t be a situation where guests wander around the mansion they were invited to, especially for a well-educated young lady.
“But that butler won’t just let it slide.”
While Illeone was bathing, there was a moment when he thought Karina would soon take off the maid outfit when changing. Who could have anticipated someone witnessing that?
Regardless, Karina was chased out of the bedroom by the butler who came to inspect the master’s bed.
However, the next morning, Illeone was nowhere to be found. Karina, who thought she could request anything from him, found herself in a predicament after the butler complained that he was rude.
“Is being unwell an excuse?”
A sense of foreboding crept in.
The feeling of protection she felt from Illeone, escaping the devilish Saviel’s clutches, felt like it was breaking apart, making a brittle and comfortable feeling shatter like crackling sounds.
“There will be another opportunity.”
Karina, feeling stifled, took a deep breath and walked out of the mansion. She hoped that taking a stroll in the garden might alleviate the discomfort.
At that moment, someone on a white horse passing through the large gate of the Duke’s mansion caught her eye. Following behind was a line of palace guards. Karina’s eyes widened.
“S-Saviel.”
Though there was a considerable distance, she recognized Saviel’s face distorted menacingly.
‘I have to run.’
Chills ran down her arms tightly. Karina rushed into the mansion, headed for the back door, and ran out.
“Pant, pant.”
Even after resting for a few days, her breath seemed to be taken away too soon. Nevertheless, Karina ran towards the forest connected to the mansion, thinking that walking around the garden might make her feel better.
Then, on horseback, a figure riding towards the Duke’s mansion caught her attention. And behind that, palace guards were lined up. Karina’s eyes widened.
“S-Saviel.”
Although there was quite a distance, she recognized Saviel’s face, grimacing fiercely.
‘I have to escape.’
Her arms tingled, and Karina started climbing up a hill without much thought.
“Oops!”
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…
