Yurisien pleaded with a cold expression, “Please come to your senses.”
“A savior is just a savior. A benefactor of life. But usually, that’s all it is!”
“That…”
“The person who saved me from almost drowning is impressive. It might seem strange not to resist. But ultimately, it’s just a momentary emotion!”
Heathcliff’s mouth hung open in astonishment.
“With the emotions of that moment, you can’t love a person for 15 years! So, I…”
Yurisien’s fist exerted more force. The more she spoke, the more it felt like she was drinking poison. Over the past 15 years, Yurisien had been abundantly happy, and there were many moments spent with Heathcliff.
“I don’t deny falling for the savior. When it was a misconception and deception, to me, it was the truth. But for the past 15 years, the person I believed in, relied on, and liked was the Crown Prince, not the savior.”
Yurisien completely understood the feelings when Benjamin used to distinguish between the Duchess and Yurisien. Thanks to that, she could now clearly distinguish between the Crown Prince and Benjamin, and she felt she could love both.
Yurisien said in a weakened voice, “That was my sincerity. In that sentiment… the person who tore it apart and trampled on it was none other than the Crown Prince. So…”
“So.”
Heathcliff cut off Yurisien’s words. The face of Heathcliff, who lifted his head, looked much brighter than before. A strange feeling of unease crept in. Heathcliff grabbed Yurisien’s shoulders.
“So, you still love me.”
“…….”
“You still have the feelings to love me.”
“……Ha.”
Yurisien let out a frustrated sigh. It felt like her chest was filled with something strange, making everything weird. Yurisien tilted her head.
“No, I don’t.”
“Don’t be funny. You just said that. It wasn’t because I was a savior. Oh, Yurisien. We should have had this conversation sooner.”
Heathcliff murmured ecstatically as he rubbed his forehead against Yurisien’s. Unlike with Benjamin, Yurisien found the touch of his forehead against hers repulsively surprising.
“I didn’t know that… Oh, Yurisien. We have no reason to argue. We already shared the same feelings.”
Heathcliff finally smiled as if all the conflicts were resolved. He even hugged Yurisien tightly, as if not knowing what to do with joy.
“I felt the same way, Yurisien. I’m sorry. I thought you loved me because I was your savior. I should have told you the truth someday, but I was scared of losing you. I was afraid you wouldn’t love me.”
Yurisien now keenly realized that pouring out emotions could become violent. She had endured all of Heathcliff’s words and actions, which poured out freely, to the point where her whole body ached.
Yet, Yurisien didn’t break free from Heathcliff’s embrace.
Anticipating a cold tomorrow, she listened attentively to his belated confession. There was no other meaning or lingering emotion.
‘Let’s hear what he has to say and how far he’ll go.’
It was partly curiosity. Yurisien had already firmly embraced the man named Benjamin in her heart. Therefore, there was no room for Heathcliff’s deception and betrayal to break through. However, she was genuinely curious about Heathcliff’s true feelings.
“So I asked my mother to arrange for us to be together. Once we get married, even if you hate me, at least you won’t be able to leave my side.”
It would be even better if we have a child.
Hehe, Heathcliff laughed heartily. Yurisien felt his fingers pressing on her waist and endured the urge to scold him.
“But things turned out like this… I’m really sorry. But I would have somehow won you over. We would have gotten married. So… So don’t just say that I betrayed you.”
“……. ”
“Originally, every love has a bit of hardship and adversity. I’m glad the misunderstanding is cleared up.”
Heathcliff tried to kiss Yurisien on the lips. When Yurisien turned her head, Heathcliff stuck out his tongue.
“Yeah, if you need more time, I can give you as much as you want.”
Instead, he kissed Yurisien’s neck. It was creepy with goosebumps, but Yurisien endured it. Jurgen and Carly watched this strange scene with bewilderment.
‘Yurisien isn’t someone who acts without thinking…’
‘Do you have to go this far, Your Grace?’
Daisy, with her face pale, had a terrifying expression, as if she were someone plotting treason immediately.
Heathcliff, with his nose buried in Yurisien’s white neck, took a deep breath.
“It seems I made the right decision to come and meet you, overcoming the shame of bowing my head first.”
“……. ”
“I hesitated. I’m a prince, and is it reasonable for me to ask a duchess for reconciliation first? But what can I do? I think of you this much. So, let’s stop these childish tantrums and start again.”
His whispered words were full of joy. The more he spoke, the more absurd his words became, and Heathcliff seemed not to know what had gone wrong.
As he separated Yurisien from his embrace, he smiled brightly.
“We’ve reconciled now.”
Not even properly washed, Heathcliff was convinced. Yurisien, who had heard everything, asked calmly.
“Is that all?”

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…
