“It would be best if you could stay by her side in the eyes of others, Lady Lorencia.”
Magus narrowed his eyes and looked at the two.
“But Sir Magus, Duke Spencer told me that his side is the safest place in the world, so I must never leave him.”
“That’s right, Lady Lorencia. My side is the safest place for you.”
Magus let out a long sigh. He thought Lorencia might be innocent enough to obey those words since she had been locked away and was unaware of worldly matters, but he never imagined Teishar would have this side to him.
He was ready to give up his liver and gallbladder for her.
“Then Lady Lorencia, would you tell us about the future you saw?”
“Prince Ruans is preparing for a rebellion. And I watched a future where he becomes the emperor and starts a war.”
“That’s a terrible future.”
“I intend to twist that future, Sir Magus. Now it’s my turn to tell you a long story.”
[This is the timeline separator]Lorencia sat up groggily on the bed. Then she rang the bell on the bedside table.
“Lady Lorencia, you’re awake? I brought you some warm cocoa.”
The door opened and Amelin entered, pushing a trolley. On the trolley was a cup of hot cocoa. Lorencia smiled brightly and reached out to take the cup of cocoa. As she drank the cocoa, the sweet morning seemed to seep into her body, and Lorencia felt in a good mood.
“Amelin, good morning.”
She had told Magus the truth and the future she knew. Thanks to that, a plan was made on how to move forward. Perhaps because she had cried her heart out while talking, the usual tightness in her chest was gone. Both her mind and heart felt refreshed.
“The master has a busy schedule today and can’t see you, so he was troubled and very upset.”
“It can’t be helped.”
Amelin took out a purple envelope from her bosom and handed it to Lorencia. As she smelled the subtle scent from the envelope, a smile spread across Lorencia’s face.
“This is a letter from the master to you, Lady Lorencia. He said he definitely wants a reply.”
“Of course. I’ve learned how to write now, so I can reply to him.”
The content of the letter was simple. It was a long story about how he wanted to take a walk with her because the weather was so sunny today, and how he almost cried while writing the letter because he missed her.
“What should I say in my reply?”
Lorencia pondered how to write her response. She checked Teishar’s letter one more time.
“Amelin.”
“Yes.”
“If I write back saying I miss him too, will he be happy?”
“He won’t just be happy, he’ll be overjoyed.”
Amelin looked at Lorencia, who was smiling brightly while reading the letter.
And she recalled Teishar, who had summoned her and Evan at the crack of dawn to pour out his complaints.
Teishar looked anxious. He lamented that he couldn’t always be by Lorencia’s side.
It was agonizing for those listening. But they were capable servants. Even if their master repeated the same words a thousand times, they had to listen earnestly and come up with solutions so as not to upset their master.
Teishar’s words began and ended with Lorencia. And Evan and Amelin knew well what emotion he was going through.
What he was experiencing now was the denial period of ‘this can’t be love’.
Evan knew effective countermeasures as well as the emotion itself.
Evan smiled, recalling the time when he had conveyed his passionate feelings to Amelin through letters. So he suggested writing a letter to Teishar. Fortunately, Teishar said it was a good idea and began writing a letter.
Teishar would tear up or crumple the letter paper, shouting ‘again’ while writing.
Teishar, who actively accepted Evan’s opinion, wrote a letter with a few trivial things and started and ended with saying he missed her.
The letter filled with ‘I miss you’ was now in Lorencia’s hands. After reading the letter, an irrepressible smile appeared on Lorencia’s face.
“He’ll be happy if I reply right away, won’t he? Evan.”
“He’ll be very happy.”
Lorencia sat at the desk to send a reply to Teishar. On the desk were a quill pen, ink, and white letter paper.
−The first thing that came to mind when I woke up was Lady Lorencia’s face.
“The cocoa reminded me of Duke Spencer.”
Lorencia began to calmly write down the contents of the letter Teishar had sent.
At that moment, another letter from Teishar arrived for Lorencia.
“Why did he send another one? I haven’t even replied yet.”
A smile that couldn’t be hidden appeared on Lorencia’s lips as she read Teishar’s second letter.
In the first letter, there were lengthy contents about how much he missed her. But the content of the second letter was very short compared to the first one.
−I am not okay right now.−
Lorencia’s smile soon turned into a big laugh. She looked down at the letter she was writing while laughing. And she tore up the letter she had written.
Lorencia’s eyes reddened at Teishar’s letters, saying he missed her in the first one and that he wasn’t okay in the second. It seemed like he was saying he wasn’t okay because he couldn’t see her.
“This won’t do. I really can’t stand it.”
Amelin stared blankly at Lorencia, who laughed out loud while reading Teishar’s second letter. She didn’t know what Teishar had sent, but it made her smile unconsciously to see Lorencia showing her emotions and laughing so visibly. Evan felt the same way.
“I laughed too much. I need to write a reply quickly…”
Lorencia quickly finished writing her reply, recalling the words Teishar always said to comfort her.
“I’m done.”
“You finished writing already?”
Evan and Amelin tilted their heads at the surprisingly quick reply.
“One sentence is enough for a reply. Evan, can you deliver this letter to Duke Spencer?”
“I will deliver it right away, Lady Lorencia.”
As soon as Teishar received Lorencia’s reply brought by Evan, he began laughing with his head bowed and body swaying. Teishar was happy just that Lorencia had sent a reply. And the content made his heart flutter like crazy.
−Thinking of meeting Duke Spencer, I feel okay now.−
When Evan saw Teishar laughing after receiving Lorencia’s reply, the corners of his mouth lifted up. No matter how much he thought about it, their actions were so cute that it made him smile.
“What kind of letter is it that makes you so happy? Duke Teishar.”
Adrian asked Teishar. The man he had known for a long time was not one to laugh like this. He always had a stony face and never showed his emotions. So it was impossible to know what he was thinking. His red eyes were always dry in every situation.
But after receiving and reading a single letter, his lips loosened and twitched, and then he began to laugh out loud. From Adrian’s point of view, he became curious about the identity of the letter that made him laugh.
“Who sent the letter…”
“I apologize. Lady Lorencia sent a reply to my letter. I was so happy about that fact that I couldn’t stop laughing. I will restrain myself.”
Teishar was irritated from head to toe because he had sent a letter but couldn’t see Lorencia all day. The irritation subsided for a moment while writing a letter to her, but it kept coming back. Now, the irritation was completely gone with Lorencia’s reply. His heart was beating pleasantly.
“A letter from Lady Lorencia? What did it say to make you…?”
When Adrian asked about the letter, Teishar couldn’t stay still.
“Your Highness Prince Adrian, would you like to see the handwriting of this letter? Isn’t it so cute and round? Our Lady Lorencia has only recently learned how to write, but she wrote this letter and sent it to me. Isn’t she so remarkable? Our Lady Lorencia seems so smart. I’m just amazed. Ah… If I send another letter, will Lady Lorencia reply again?”
As Teishar suddenly began to pour out many words, Adrian narrowed his eyes and looked at Teishar in disbelief.
As much as Teishar was a taciturn person, he never spoke more than necessary. Teishar, who usually kept his mouth shut and only did his own work, was the only one who smiled and became talkative these days when it came to Lorencia. He never showed such reactions in other matters.
No, he had never shown them before.
