“In Mother’s handwriting.”
Lucas’ voice subtly rang out even before she fully unfolded the letter.
“Don’t interfere.”
At that, Lucas merely shrugged his shoulders. Serena unfurled the letter without losing confidence and began to read its content.
“[… Therefore, the royal family prioritizes keeping the promise and commands the marriage of the two.]”
Slowly, Serena blinked.
“So, they command us to marry.”
She might have remained still for a long time if not for Lucas’ unpleasant voice.
“No… but…”
Hadn’t the royal family recently considered this a mere regrettable situation? And now they were suddenly fulfilling their promise? Moreover, commanding marriage after six years seemed forced.
“Did you do something?”
Serena glared at Lucas standing behind her.
“How could I? I’ve been here with you.”
Lucas’ visit to Astel was premeditated; he had to see this result with Serena.
“Her Majesty the Queen would naturally side with the Crown Prince. But there are still two more.”
Serena’s hands hastily unsealed the Vatican’s letter. Hadn’t the Vatican empathized with her plight of being a widow, not a widow, and consoled her all this while?
“[The Vatican happily considers the betrothal solemnized in the name of God and asserts that the holy matrimony should be established as soon as possible.]”
She was so stunned that she couldn’t speak. She had never been religious, but she hadn’t expected to be betrayed so blatantly.
“Wait, wait.”
Serena hastily grabbed the last letter and distanced herself from Lucas.
“Why? You said you would accept the outcome just moments ago… Don’t tell me you changed your mind?”
“This is problematic. Both the royal family and the Vatican had acknowledged my staying single!”
“That was a misunderstanding.”
Lucas grinned.
“Everyone seems to have realized that misunderstanding now.”
Serena violently shook her head. She couldn’t let this happen so easily.
“I still have my father’s opinion, which is most important.”
“I thought you liked doing things fair and square?”
That was true, but one couldn’t always adhere to their convictions.
“If my father opposes, I can’t comply.”
“…Fine.”
Surprisingly, Lucas easily nodded.
“Even if the world opposes, my feelings won’t change.”
His annoying words remained. Serena quickly unsealed the Duke of Astel’s letter and ended up closing her eyes at a single line of text.
“Ah, a wise answer.”
Lucas’ voice rang out annoyingly.
“It depends on the other decisions. Truly, a wise answer.”
Serena had been naive.
The royal family naturally sided with their son Lucas, and it was only expected that the Papal State would want their arranged engagement to come to fruition.
Astel, the Duke, was someone who would agree to anything as long as it didn’t interfere with his nomadic lifestyle.
“What are your thoughts now? You had agreed.”
At Lucas’s low voice, Serena reluctantly opened her eyes. She was annoyed, but could not easily conceal her immediate embarrassment. She had not expected that not a single person would be on her side.
“This is wrong.”
“No, you verified it yourself.”
Serena shook her head and looked straight at him.
“Even if the world deems it right, your desire to marry me is wrong.”
Lucas looked at her with raised eyebrows.
“Why are you so conclusive?”
A woman he hadn’t forgotten for the past six years was staring straight at him.
“When we had our engagement ceremony, I admitted that I was naive and immature. I left you alone with the thought that I would become stronger on my own, and I will make amends for that.”
There was no trace of the earlier smirk in Lucas’s hawk-like eyes. The same was true for Serena.
“You’re making an even bigger mistake than our engagement.”
“Do you still resent my indifference?”
“No. I’m not talking about the past.”
Puzzlement clouded Lucas’s eyes. If their past wasn’t the problem, then why was Serena so adamant?
“I don’t want to marry you. Is there a greater mistake than forcing an unwilling woman into marriage?”
Serena’s words had been consistent from the beginning.
“There is no greater mistake than missing out on this marriage.”
The same was true for Lucas.
“Even if you don’t want this now, I’ve wanted to keep you by my side. I want you even more… enough to fill that gap.”
Serena’s former fiancé wanted her, now stronger and more robust than she could ever reject.
It was inevitable.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
