She had been sobbing alone for a while, seemingly losing consciousness for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, the sun was faintly setting.
‘It’s quiet…….’
It was clear that what Yuri Hsien had experienced outside had caused quite a stir in the world. Otherwise, Kendali and Rapine would not have left Yuri Hsien to rest like this.
Sure enough, voices were heard outside the attic door.
It was the sound of Kendali’s mother and daughter, sounding annoyed as if they were meant to hear.
“How long are you going to let her keep up that foolish pretense, Mom? I hate looking at it so much. She’s the heroine of a tragedy or something!”
“Who isn’t, Rapine? But there’s the master of that wine bar! He seems to have enough power to move the patrol on his own.”
“Pfft, they’re just the patrol? We have the Windsor Knights! What do we care!”
Rapine snorted. Kendali’s voice followed, calming Rapine down.
“Anyway, the imperial city will handle this. We just have to lay low for a bit.”
In the end, the only thing they seemed to say here was one thing.
‘Don’t stand out for no reason.’
It was a threat and warning to Yuri Hsien, who might not even have realized she was awake.
“But the name of Windsor will be heard, Mom!”
Whether Rapine knew Kendali’s intentions or not, she stomped her feet as if she was furious. To appease Rapine, Kendali said she would open Windsor’s vault.
Then Rapine, as if she had never been wronged, cheerfully picked out what to buy with a lively voice.
Hearing that, Yuri Hsien slowly closed her eyes.
“Sigh…….”
A suffocating sigh lingered for a while. It sounded as if something that had been suppressed was finally leaking out.
Regret was evident on Yuri Hsien’s face, which even showed the blackened energy of decay in just one day.
She had made a choice she should not have when she was in front of Hescliff.
‘Perhaps it would have been better if I had been blinded by love.’
Then she wouldn’t have regretted it.
However, unfortunately, looking at this excruciating regret, it seemed that she was not blinded by love.
‘Why… did I give up on myself?’
No matter how confusing and difficult it was to think rationally.
‘It shouldn’t have been like that. It was never the right way.’
Yuri Hsien almost lost not only herself but also this Windsor!
If she had had a coercive night with Hescliff, Yuri Hsien would have lived with an indelible wound and suffered from rumors all her life. Of course, they would not have married. But that was also a way for the despicable Kendali and her daughter to seize Windsor.
‘It can’t go on like this…. I must find my father.’
Despite her determination, she had no strength to move even a finger. She had to thank the master of the wine bar who had helped her in her desperate moment, but it was hard. Just thinking about what had happened yesterday made her breathless.
Helplessness crept over her whole body through her wet blanketlike ankles. To shake it off, Yuri Hsien opened her eyes, which she had even found difficult to move, and rolled her pupils to the side for a moment.
The sun appeared.
“…….”
The sun, setting and casting twilight over the world, burned to the very end as if scolding the entirely defeated Yuri Hsien. It was ironic. Right now, Yuri Hsien was in despair because of what had happened to her in the lake at the castle, where she had seen that sun as a child.
But as she stared at that setting sun, a strange thought kept coming to her.
‘The shimmering…… gold thread…….’
No matter how transparent the lake was, even if the sunlight reflected off the silver hair to look golden.
Could every single delicate strand have looked gold?
A question she had never entertained since she concluded her past thoughts suddenly raised its head. As if it had noticed, the voice of the sun moving away in the distance whispered.
You haven’t met me yet.
(This is a time separator.)
A few days after the incident between Heathcliff and Yuri Hsien, as if nothing had happened, close to midnight, a late hour.
With the exception of a few knights and servants on patrol, there were footsteps stealthily walking through the Duke of Windsor’s mansion, where everyone else was deep in sleep.
An silhouette, wearing a black hood and blending into the pitchblack night as if accustomed to this, silently headed towards the back door that connected to the outbuilding’s kitchen.
There, a woman dressed just like the figure was panting from her rapid walk. She recognized the figure and whispered with a pleased expression.
“Miss, here. Here! Whew, you escaped safely today too!”
“It’s all thanks to you, Daisy.”
The figure approached Daisy and removed her hood. It was none other than Yuri Hsien.
Yuri Hsien, her long hair tied down to her waist, held Daisy’s hand but never let her guard down, looking around cautiously.
“It’s okay, Miss. I checked again earlier. There’s no one here.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
