“Don’t take it too hard, Madam.”
As Yu-an relaxed a bit after leaving Clad’s room, butler Gustav cautiously approached.
His face, looking at Yu-an’s somewhat downcast expression, was filled with concern.
“Is something wrong?”
“The royal family will soon be sending a guest.”
“What?”
Yu-an’s eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected answer.
She then realized that the servants carrying water had all disappeared, and the first floor was empty.
The few servants must have all gone to clean the annex hall in preparation for the guests.
“His Majesty the Emperor will be visiting in three days.”
This time, she was so shocked that she had to cover her mouth with her hands.
The Emperor was Igor Euphris.
A tyrant known for treating human lives like flies, more interested in hunting than state affairs, and according to rumors, the very person who caused Clad’s current state, having usurped the throne after the death of the previous Emperor and Empress…
“Please understand if His Highness seems low-spirited or more sensitive than usual.”
So, that gold-embossed envelope was from the royal family.
The news had made him even more sensitive.
It wasn’t just because he was sick and tired that he was so sharp.
Having just thrust her uncle’s letter into the fireplace, Yu-an could understand him all too well.
“I understand.”
Gustav seemed a bit relieved, his lips stretching long before he hurried outside.
Yu-an also hastened her steps, thinking she should check if there was anything she needed to do as the lady of the house.
That night.
Accustomed to being excessively dressed up by Hena and the maids, Yu-an went to Clad’s room in a light outfit.
She entered when there was no response to her knock, and saw Clad slumped in a creaking rocking chair.
Clad seemed unaware, but since the evening approached, the pain began to creep in, and his transformation was slowing compared to before.
Yu-an quietly approached Clad, who still maintained his sanity.
Even though he must have sensed her presence, only the sound of the rocking chair creaked in the room.
Yu-an glanced at the letter envelope, still not thrown away or put aside, and quietly stood by his side.
She wanted to offer some words of comfort to him, especially low-spirited today.
Not all uncles and great-uncles in the world were like that.
Her understanding of his hatred for the Emperor might be the best in the entire country.
Sharing in his pain, Yu-an was perhaps the person who understood his suffering the most.
If they were going to continue living together like this, couldn’t they find some comfort in each other?
Just as Louise and Yu-an, who were initially awkward as sisters meeting after 10 years, became closer through comforting each other against their common enemies – the uncle and cousins.
“There are indeed many people in the world who don’t behave like family.”
Creak. Creak.
“Whatever I say, it might not be much comfort to you, but…”
Creak. Creak.
“You’re not in the palace anymore. You have a new family, and…”
While mentioning the new family, Yu-an hesitated but then gathered courage.
“It might be good for you to try to forget a little.”
The rocking chair continued to creak in the darkness, revealing his transparent, glassy eyes like marbles.
However, his expression was still not good.
Yu-an quickly added.
“Would it be easier for you if you thought of that person and yourself not as family anymore?”
“What do you know.”
A silence followed, so still that even the creaking couldn’t be heard.
“What do you know? You don’t know anything, so don’t pretend you do and just do your job.”
“…….”
“And don’t wander around alone.”
Understanding and communication are different.
Yu-an stood frozen, as if she had been hit by a huge wave head-on.
‘It’s nothing.’
Just do your job.
Though her heart felt miserably rejected, she recited the mantra she always reminded herself and made some herbal tea for Clad.
Clad, who had been staring at the ceiling, finally drank the tea when it stopped steaming.
His twitching eyebrows indicated that the pain had found him.
Yu-an reached out her slender hand and wiped away the tea droplets trickling down his neck with her index finger.
Whether it was because of the pain or something else, Clad twitched and then lowered his gaze from the ceiling to her pale hand.
Thinking how beautiful the moonlight caught on his long eyelashes, Yu-an slowly lowered her head and kissed not his cheek but the corner of his mouth.
Her soft lips felt the moisture of the tea and the hard, wooden texture of his skin.
Clad’s trembling eyelashes stilled as Yu-an’s lips touched him, the sensation soft and smooth.
Yu-an opened her eyes and gazed at his beautiful face shining under the moonlight for a while.
The silence was broken only by their breathing, much less tense than before.
Clad Euphris’s perfect face, fallen into sleep, seemed like an angel dropped from heaven.
“Your face is pretty, but why do you always have to say mean things?”
The pain urging her to leave him started kicking inside Yu-an’s heart.
Watching the moonlight caress his long eyelashes and prominent nose, Yu-an held back the sound of her heart pounding in her ears.
She felt a little nauseous.
It was a strange feeling.
“Do you hate trying to live well that much?”
Yu-an pressed down on his furrowed brow, bothered by the pain remaining in his body.
As his slightly wrinkled brow smoothed out, Yu-an’s brow creased slightly.
“Unaware of who helps you sleep. You really don’t know anything.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
