“It’s all in the past. Memories can’t harm William. He’s strong, stronger than we think. Okay?”
Genevra hated Siod. It felt like everything was happening because of him. If it weren’t for him, Genevra would still be alone, and she wouldn’t have had to go through such heartbreaking experiences.
If he hadn’t shared love with her, if he hadn’t abandoned the pregnant her and run away, if he hadn’t reappeared and shaken things up so messily.
“It’s all because of you.”
“Okay. Okay. It’s all my fault.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“Sorry…”
“What are you sorry for?”
Siod sighed. Genevra found his apology insincere, an attempt to avoid the situation.
“We agreed that I might recall the past. Vera, I mean…”
“I want to go back to before I met you.”
Siod hesitated, his intended words stopping as he took a step back. Genevra, now distant from his embrace, spoke.
“Then none of this would have been so painful.”
“That hurts to hear.”
He spoke seriously. Genevra looked up at Siod, surprised. With an expressionless face, Siod gazed down at her for a moment through teleportation, then Genevra hesitated again and sat back down.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
Larisa asked.
“Huh?”
Genevra, lost in thought, looked at Larisa.
“Don’t you like it?”
“Oh, yeah.”
Larisa chuckled.
“It’s Mom’s favorite meat stew, isn’t it?”
“I like this?”
Genevra, at the abrupt remark, looked down at the stew pot. It was the same meat stew she always ate.
“Yes, you eat a lot when this comes out.”
Did I say that? Genevra blinked stupidly. She had thought that Larisa was generally indifferent when it came to food.
“The head chef made it specially because your mom seemed low on energy.”
“…How do you know that?”
“Why wouldn’t I know?”
Larisa grinned again, looking at Genevra as if to say, “Don’t you know?” Her face, overly cute, made her seem a bit mischievous.
“Everyone in the mansion knows when your mom is low on energy.”
Was it so obvious? Without realizing it, Genevra touched her face.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Tch. Larisa pouted.
“Another story I shouldn’t know?”
“Larisa, it’s not that…”
“Hmph, you’re sulking.”
After saying it’s okay to live a bit recklessly, she’s been quite cheeky lately. Genevra couldn’t help but chuckle. Laughing like that somehow improved her mood.
“Okay. I won’t teach you.”
“Why?”
“It’s a story you don’t need to know.”
“I’ll ask William!”
Genevra put a spoon down and sighed deeply. Larisa, who had been quietly watching, hopped off the chair and came over with a lively step. Then, she grabbed Genevra’s hem.
“Why?”
“Can I hug you?”
“What?”
“Come on, give me a hug.”
Larisa spread her arms.
“Oh, come on…”
“Hurry!”
Genevra hesitated for a moment and then lifted Larisa in her arms. Seating her on her knees, Genevra felt Larisa wrap her arms around her lower back and hold her tightly.
“When Mom is having a hard time, I used to hug her like this. It makes her feel better.”
“Really?”
“Yes, it’s true. It’s magic.”
Almost like a lie, as she held Larisa and felt the child’s body temperature, a sense of relief washed over her, overshadowing her previous worries.
Larisa is safe. She was in a secure state in Genevra’s embrace. Genevra held Larisa tightly, inhaling the soapy scent emanating from her hair.
“Strength, rise. Hyup!”
“What’s that?”
“It’s a spell!”
It was absurd. Genevra couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Larisa who was bouncing her buttocks and chanting spells.
“You got stronger. Good effect.”
“Really?”
“Will you do it for William too?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because William is a boy, so he’d be embarrassed!”
Oh my. She had thought of Larisa as just a child, but the little one was surprisingly mature, knowing about modesty in front of boys.
Actually, Genevra had been struggling because William had said he wouldn’t marry her.
“What?”
“Why are you so surprised? You also won’t marry William.”
“William said that? Really?”
“Yes.”
“Hmph!”
Larisa’s mouth popped open. Genevra chuckled with a hearty laugh. After laughing for a while, Genevra said,
“If William won’t marry you, how about becoming my daughter now?”
“What?”
Larisa’s eyes widened in surprise.
