Although Lizbet expressed regret that the market tour was already over, Sessenia had no energy left to explore.

It was a tiring outing as she had already been drained by the meeting with those she had encountered before going out.

The first thing Sessenia did when she returned to the room was to put the flowers in a beautiful vase.

She didn’t ask Lizbet to do it. She went out to find a flower vase herself.

And in the few hours when Sessenia was absent-minded, the marquis managed to investigate Elzheir.

Whether he really believed Sessenia’s words or not, he also began to investigate the maids of Elzheir.

“Weren’t you going on a hunger strike?”
“It seems not. It looks like Elzheir’s lady’s maids have been bringing a considerable amount of food recently. It seems Elzheir’s lady had it.”

“Come to think of it, Prince Ian often came with a cake box.”

“How could Elzheir’s lady tell such lies?”

Unaware of Sessenia behind them, the maids were busy talking among themselves.

‘It turned out as expected.’

What expression would the marquis be making? Would he be pondering what punishment to give to his daughter, his beloved daughter?

Or perhaps he’s thinking that he should just let it pass this time.

‘Whatever happens, it won’t matter to me.’

A crack will appear in the once solid relationship.

Because of this incident, due to Elzheir’s lie, the marquis would be greatly disappointed in his daughter.

Especially, the engagement with the Crown Prince this time was a long-cherished wish of the marquis and the entire Marquisate.

Knowing that, Elzheir, for the reason of not wanting to engage, not only avoided it but also made the marquis uncomfortable by lying.

Thanks to that, he even came to the point of observing the reactions of his second daughter, Sessenia, which he had never done in his lifetime.

Sessenia deliberately mentioned Elzheir’s fasting for this reason.

“Miss…?”

“Let’s go the other way.”

“Oh, okay. I saw a pretty flower vase over there.”

Following behind Sessenia, Lizbet guided her to another path.

In the end, Sessenia found a quite satisfying flower vase. It was a ceramic vase that subtly glittered as if pearls were embedded on the surface.

The white vase had a wide opening, resembling the shape of a blooming flower.

Though there was only one flower, it strangely suited the one Teddy had given.

An ordinary tulip with an orange hue. However, due to what he said, the tulip looked unusually fresh and gave off a strange feeling.

“It’s beautiful.”

As soon as they arrived in the room, Sessenia, who had put the flower in the vase, expressed her satisfaction.

“Then please rest. I’ll be outside.”

“Okay, Lizbet.”

As if to give Sessenia her own time, Lizbet went out.

Sessenia, holding the vase and looking serious, moved around, trying different places.

“Is this better here?”

Trying it on the window sill and on the large desk used for work. After contemplating and putting it here and there, Sessenia finally placed the vase next to the bedside table, which could be seen every morning, and expressed a satisfied expression.

That’s when it happened.

Knock, knock.

The sound of someone knocking on the door was heard. Although it seemed to be outside, the sound was somewhat peculiar for being heard from outside the door.

Sessenia immediately realized that the sound was coming from the glass door leading to the terrace.

The visitor was Silian.

Having returned in human form, he looked at her with a very displeased expression while clenching his fists.
“Why do you keep going out so freely after entrusting me with your security?”

“I entrusted you with my security precisely so that I can go out freely.”

“…….”

His words were so fitting that she was left speechless.

As if aiming for that moment, Sessenia looked at him pitifully.

“But Silian, are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“In the stomach… in the leg… that… Lizbet…”

“….”

For a moment, Silian’s blue eyes froze coldly. At the same time, it seemed like he was recalling the previous incident, and his ears turned red.

Sessenia stepped closer to him and patted his shoulder.

“It can happen. That earlier… it was a puppy. So, it was a puppy, not you. So don’t be too shocked… cheer up…”

“My purity was taken away.”

“No, it wasn’t taken away. It’s not like that at all. It was just a small mistake. Besides, it’s funny to talk about purity when the other party didn’t even recognize you as a human.”
