The following day, at noon.
Evelia had wandered the garden for the first time in a very long while.
Not long ago, the garden was filled with lifeless branches after all the leaves had fallen due to the bitter wind. Now, it was brimming with vitality.
She took slow steps and inhaled deeply. The fragrance of buds and flowers, filling the garden, filled her lungs.
“The flowers have already bloomed. They’re so beautiful, just like you, Your Majesty!”
From a step behind, Peilyn chattered in a sweet voice. Thanks to that, a faint smile appeared on Evelia’s lips.
“They are indeed, very pretty.”
There was a brief hint of laughter in Evelia’s voice as she said this. But her inner feelings didn’t smile even for a moment.
After coming to the palace, she always had to wander through complicated emotions. Palace life, where Peilyn was the only one on her side, was difficult in every way. But undoubtedly, there had never been confusion like recently.
Only three days had passed.
During those three days, it felt to Evelia as if she had once again gone through the year after the national mourning with Liurian. Even as she strolled leisurely in the garden, her heart was desolate.
“But Your Majesty, aren’t you cold? The sunlight has become quite warm, but the wind still seems a bit chilly.”
“Is it?”
“I’m worried you might catch a cold. How about going inside?”
Evelia hesitated for a moment at Peilyn’s worried suggestion. She did feel the wind was a bit cold.
But returning to the bedroom, where the image of Liurian from a few days ago would continue to torment her, seemed unbearable.
Quite stubbornly, Evelia took a step.
“No, I want to walk a little more.”
Her voice, soft as she tilted her head to speak, contrasted sharply with her abruptly quickened step, which displayed a very resolute attitude.
Peilyn narrowed her brows slightly, filled with concern. Mumbling silently, she soon clapped her hands as if she’d found another solution.
“Then I’ll quickly fetch something light for you to wear!”
“No, Peilyn! You don’t have to……!”
Evelia turned hurriedly at the unexpected words, reaching out to catch Peilyn, but she was already hurrying towards the princess’s palace.
Watching her recede, Evelia slowly lowered her outstretched arm and pressed her lips tightly together.
She felt sorry for inconveniencing her needlessly. Yet, no matter how many times she thought it over, she did not want to return to the bedroom where Liurian’s image lingered.
After a brief pause, she again started her rigid walk.
She wanted to distance herself. If there was a place where she could escape from him, she didn’t care where it was. But the only place she could go was the palace, and the only place where she could loiter in peace was the garden of the princess’s palace, right here.
“You seem troubled.”
Between her feeble steps, a low voice suddenly intruded.
Evelia stopped walking and looked back.
The face of Leighton, who had been her guard from her young age until now as the crown princess, came clearly into view.
Perhaps because he knew he cared for her as much as Peilyn did, she felt the tightly shut door of her heart crumbling a little.
“Leighton, I’ve never once regretted my choices till now.”
Evelia whispered softly. It was something she had never even revealed to Peilyn. Leighton listened attentively to her voice.
“But for the first time, I wonder if I made the wrong choice. I regret it……. ”
“……. ”
“Was my choice wrong? If so, what should I do from now on……. ”
The tone at the end of her words was exceptionally moist that day. It was a tone that rarely matched the everfresh her.
Leighton blinked his eyes silently. He couldn’t immediately find words. He knew better than anyone why she was saying this.
“Your Majesty, your choices have always been wise and correct.”
“Have they……. ”
Evelia let out a brief laugh. She had replied, but it seemed as formal as him, even consoling.
Had it been another time, she would have expressed her thanks, even if only verbally, but regrettably, she didn’t even have the energy to convey a simple thank you now.
Evelia resumed her halted steps. Step by step, every time she moved forward, the events of the past three days successively came to mind.
At the end of the film passing by like a panorama, there was the sight of Liurian’s back, walking away arm in arm with Lelia.
A sigh came instinctively, and her head dropped weakly at the same time.
“I’ve never thought this choice would be wrong. Even when something felt off, I believed it wasn’t a wrong choice. But, but Leighton….”
I think I made the wrong choice after all.
Evelia clenched her wavering hand in midair, the rest of her words buried within her.
He was always an indifferent husband, a husband who looked only at women like his government. Still, tidying up her heart that had already swelled was not easy.
All she could do was endure, so she did her best and stubbornly bore it.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
