‘…I’m so hungry!’
I checked the time again. It was now past 2 PM.
I remained motionless in my room, refusing all invitations to come down for lunch.
I started fasting since the morning, not even a full day had passed.
Yet, I was only hungry for two meals…
Grrrrr.
Once again, a loud growl echoed from my stomach.
Hearing it, the Silver Snake coiled gently next to me.
[How about it? Shall I bring you something to eat?]“Really?!”
[Yes, one sparkling thing for one bread.]“…….”
There was no such thing as a modest Sacred Beast. I turned around and laid back down.
[Oh, someone’s coming!]The Silver Snake hid back under the bed. Lacking strength throughout my body, possibly from hunger for two meals, I just lay there on the bed.
Tap-tap, a small knocking sound was heard. Without responding, lying still in bed, a gruff voice came from outside.
“I know you’re not sleeping.”
Hearing the voice, I was startled and quickly sat up on the bed.
Naturally, I thought it might be Clemens, Dad, or Davian. However, it was Micael who came to my room.
I didn’t have a particularly bad relationship with Micael. However, it was a bit, just a bit more awkward with Micael than with others.
Although I had talked extensively with other people several times, I hadn’t had a separate conversation with Micael.
“Micael?”
“Can I come in?”
Without expecting an answer, Micael promptly stepped into the room. I followed him cautiously from behind.
“There’s always a bad smell in your room.”
“What smell?”
Suddenly, Micael, who had stopped walking, furrowed his brow slightly.
“A somewhat sour smell.”
‘I don’t smell anything…’
When I go for a walk, or when I briefly go out for a meal, or when I go out, the maids clean my room every day.
There wasn’t even a speck of dust under the bed, so the Silver Snake could freely come and go there.
What Micael had just said was something Davian had mentioned before.
When Davian said, ‘There’s a smell in the girl’s room! Clean it again!’ Even I said, ‘There’s no smell in my room! Davian is weird!’ and the matter was settled.
Actually, the smell Micael or Davian talked about was a scent that only the two of them could detect.
Dad was the same, and Clemens too. I also couldn’t tell what that smell was.
But I felt like I knew the source of that smell.
‘It might be the smell to the Silver Snake.’
Since Sacred Power and Magic Power are opposing forces, I thought the twins, who keenly sensed the Sacred Power of Sacred Beasts, might express it as a smell.
‘If I slip up, I might get caught right away.’
Since then, I’ve also given the Silver Snake strict instructions. Unlike me, the Silver Snake, who didn’t mind being exposed to the family, didn’t seem to be very cautious even after saying that.
Still, it was fortunate that it would hide under the bed if someone came.
“But what’s Micael doing in my room?”
“This.”
Now that I looked, Micael had a small basket in his hands. He casually placed it on the table.
“Eat this.”
“I won’t eat… Ugh.”
As soon as I opened the basket, the scent of freshly baked bread vibrated in the room. The image of me eating bread with plenty of savory butter and sweet jam flashed before my eyes.
‘No, I can’t do this.’
“I won’t eat.”
Unconsciously, my hand kept reaching for the table. So, I clenched my fist.
“I brought it for you to eat.”
“I won’t eat.”
“Father told me to bring you out if you don’t eat.”
“Still, I won’t eat.”
“If you don’t eat, I can’t leave either. Do you know that I brought this because I wanted to bring it?”
Micael narrowed his impression. I felt a little embarrassed by his expression.
‘If someone else had come, I could have refused too.’
I knew it. Other family members were particularly lenient with me, and my stubbornness couldn’t easily be broken.
But it was different with Micael. Micael didn’t act extremely indifferent like the other family members. We maintained a relationship of getting along moderately. That was the extent of my relationship with Micael.
Perhaps Dad knew that and deliberately sent Micael.
“Eat it, I brought milk too. It’s the kitchen manager’s special chocolate milk.”
Micael extended a large mug filled with chocolate milk. And for a moment, I almost unknowingly took it and was about to drink it.
I exerted my last bit of superhuman strength to not accept or drink it.
Micael put on a fist and sat down on the chair. He seemed like a person who wanted to see how long I could endure, glancing at me with one eyebrow raised.
I also involuntarily bit my lips. Since I started like this, I intended to see it through to the end. Micael, breaking the silence, started the conversation.
“I’ve been thinking about why you want to go to the capital.”
Micael tilted his head and looked at me askew. I felt like his gaze was thoroughly digging into my inner thoughts.
“W-Well, everyone except me has been to the capital, so I just thought about that…”
“If that’s the case, there’s no reason for you, who openly declares not to eat, to go on a hunger strike.”
Micael pointed out sharply.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
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…
