Green eyes that stared at the opponent silently sparkled with a clear faith under the morning sun. That man had that much confidence in what he was saying.
‘It’s amazing.’
How could he speak with such confidence? How can he be so sure that there is not a bit of falsehood in what he says?
For Yuri Hsien, Benjamin was indeed a unique person. Not just a unique person, but someone who could momentarily shake her beliefs and values, an utterly terrible person.
Just yesterday, didn’t he reveal a painful truth to Yuri Hsien in a very cruel way?
‘He could have told me in a more humane way.’
In fact, she didn’t refrain from blaming the prince while returning from the secret passage to the room. Starting with why he told her, and why he told her in such a wicked way, she shifted the blame all over. Nevertheless, it was hard for Yuri Hsien to blame Benjamin hastily.
For 15 long years, the one who broke the love was not simply hated because the recently met him was too impressive.
Looking for Elrogen and then sending Kali to protect him, he provided significant help in Yuri Hsien’s process of reclaiming Windsor.
Moreover, the one who realized that Yuri Hsien simply did not want to marry Hop Grand Duke was the prince. The one who proposed to her right away after knowing she was rejected by Heathcliff was the prince, too.
‘And the only one who sees me without any name, only as ‘me’, is His Highness the Prince.’
Benjamin appeared at Yuri Hsien’s most precarious moments lately. Whenever the cliff connected to the abyss shook under her feet, he arbitrarily grabbed her hand and pulled her up. In his own way, every time.
Although she doesn’t know what other hidden intentions he has behind.
‘But the help from His Highness the Prince is a big reason I’m standing here now.’
She had to admit. If she hadn’t received a proposal from Benjamin before hearing the truth yesterday, the despair she would have faced would have doubled. Even if Benjamin is not tender and virtuous, he is not a vile and cruel villain either.
Could that be why?
Whenever standing in front of Benjamin, she is strangely compelled to abandon the great name of Windsor that has been her lifelong support and fence and the name of a princess.
She just confronts him as Yuri Hsien. Even if she thinks this should not be the case, according to his words, she wants to make that naive sound called romance at least once.
[You must be healthy and safe for there to be the Princess of Windsor. It’s not the Princess of Windsor first.] [Always put Yuri Hsien first. Not Yuri Hsien Agathe Windsor, just Yuri Hsien.] [If you love truly, love the strong and beautiful you.]Elrogen’s voice tangles confusedly in her head. She says she understands, agrees, will comply, but in fact, never intended to follow, nor deeply pondered the true meaning of those words, now she knows.
Because she lost her memory, without worrying about the surrounding eyes, without worrying about the accumulated time, she felt her father’s love, spoken with more sincerity, not in her head but in her heart.
‘Thanks to His Highness the Prince.’
The man who waters the desire that Yuri Hsien had firmly stamped down deep inside.
The man who shakes her heart, which she had to carefully tell in letters to B, whose face, name, and voice she didn’t know.
‘Thanks to Benjamin Ludwig Offenheid.’
Once around the garden, Benjamin’s golden hair fluttered in the wind that blew.
That reminded her of the golden thread floating in the lake of the castle. A funny thing. The scene of the lake, which she never thought of for 15 years, even when she was brainwashed into thinking Heathcliff was her savior, she was recalling it for the umpteenth time now.
“…….”
Benjamin swept his disheveled hair and waited for Yuri Hsien’s answer. His quiet gaze’s languid indulgence tickled the inside of her lower abdomen. That maturity and at the same time, the apparent freedom.
‘I want to be like him.’
Yuri Hsien, who had been silent for a while, spoke softly.
“Better than the proposal I heard yesterday.”
It was a perfect acceptance, although a day late.
(This is a time separator.)
When consciousness returned, the first sound that was heard was the chirping of birds, very clearly.
The next sound was someone drinking tea, very carelessly.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.
Yes, originally, tea was supposed to be drunk like that, with a mix of air. But no matter what, this sound was too excessive.
‘It’s a sound… coming from a person’s mouth, right?’
Slurp, slurp, slurp!
As if to answer Kendally’s question, the sound became even louder. It was now almost miraculous.
My goodness, who could drink tea so noisily? Kendally, who had never expected to be awoken by the sound of someone drinking tea, even felt a bit confused.
‘Whoever it is, please try to be polite…….’
Although annoyance welled up inside her, she was too tired to even open her eyes properly. Today, she had only closed her eyes after returning to her room around dawn.
Kendally wanted to ignore the slurping sound and fall back asleep.
