The small sound resonated like a loud noise.
Gillian, from the corner of her eye, had an inscrutable expression.
Bianca gathered her saliva and swallowed.
‘When treated like a human, do you really think you’ve become a duchess?’
‘Couldn’t kill you, so spared you, and now you’re getting above yourself.’
When it felt like it would be easier to bear if he verbally snapped at her,
She met his silent golden eyes.
“My lady.”
“Yes.”
Even as his hand slowly reached out, Bianca couldn’t avoid it.
Or rather, it was more accurate to say she did not avoid it.
If she avoided this, he might really think she had been spying.
Bianca held her breath, letting Gillian’s hands wrap around her cheeks and pull her in.
Finally, their foreheads touched, and when his sharp nose grazed her cheek,
Bianca didn’t even blink once.
“My lady, can you see it this way?”
Through his dense, long eyelashes, his golden eyes were so dazzling that she couldn’t look away.
“My words that this place is your home were truly sincere.”
The hand that had been holding her cheek slid into her hair, then tightly grasped the back of her head, and Bianca couldn’t move at all.
His whisper of sincerity was too pitiful to be fabricated.
As he cleared the dishes, Bianca realized what his stern expression had meant.
He wasn’t angry.
He was……
“I’m sorry.”
Bianca offered an apology to the grieving man.
“No. At times like this, you should ask me for stories about the North.”
Gillian had the knack of making a command sound like a plea.
“Ask me about my home, you should press me.”
So she couldn’t even object.
Bianca bit her lip tightly.
Fingers that had been wandering through her hair moved slowly to her neck.
Their touching foreheads separated, but long fingers that clutched her neck like a spider’s web kept Bianca still, looking at Gillian.
Quickly
Was he speaking out loud? She wasn’t sure.
But it was fine either way.
“Please do it.”
At her softly whispered words, he smiled.
He took his place at the head of the bed.
And with a gentle touch she had never felt even in her childhood, he stroked her hair.
The gentle touch, almost a graze, was unbelievably tender, and Bianca felt a sense of unreality.
Floating above the clouds.
“How far have you heard the story?”
“It’s time to hear the story of the waves, the ice wall, and… the seven castles.”
Although he didn’t intend to, whether it was because he was lying down or because it was late at night, his voice sank and sounded like a deep murmur.
“The seven castles….”
Gillian reached out and ran his fingers through his hair.
“Do you know the story that only Barlock can face the demons beyond the ice wall?”
“No.”
Bianca answered, blinking slowly.
The feeling was as if sinking deep into the water, more sluggish than relaxed.
“The ice wall has existed from an unimaginable time ago. Throughout the history since Termina existed, the ice wall has always been there.”
With Gillian’s voice seeming to sink into it, Bianca found it hard to regain her senses.
“People tried to deal with the demons coming from beyond the ice wall, but no one succeeded. Except for Barlock.”
His story softly settled with the night air.
“It was only natural that Barlock took his place here. The demons could not dare raise a claw against Termina.”
Why settle in this perpetual frozen land and protect Termina?
If Barlock is the only one who can deal with the demons, wouldn’t it be easier if Barlock owned this empire?
There’s no reason to protect Termina.
Why?
In a brief moment, many questions arose in Bianca’s mind.
No one questioned it, no one asked, so no answer could be heard.
“……that’s why. Termina had to be protected completely.”
Lost in her thoughts filled with questions, Bianca missed Gillian’s words.
She should say that she didn’t hear him, but her eyelids were too heavy.
It was just enough to lift the closing eyelids.
“The seven castles were built like that. They are the fruits of Barlock’s efforts to protect Termina to the very last.”
Gillian’s gaze seemed to be directed at something far away, glowing faintly.
It was infinitely tender and distant, at once lovely and incredibly sad.
Bianca felt that such a look in Gillian’s eyes was very familiar.
Where had she seen it?
She was rummaging through faint memories with a halfasleep mind when she felt a warm touch on her forehead.
Gillian was pressing her brow with his hand.
“It will wrinkle like this.”
The distant gaze had completely vanished.
His golden eyes, touching her cheek, were warm like sunlight.
The feeling stirred up a longing and sorrow for a nonexistent old memory, and Bianca’s nose tingled without her realizing it.
‘Why all of a sudden?’
At her confusion, Bianca was about to raise her hand to cover her face when her sight warped on its own as a dormant hallucination rang in her head.
‘Why did you do that?’
At the whimpering ‘self’s’ voice, the golden eyes she met softened.
“I did something wrong.”
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?”
