The Beast Swallowed by the Flower (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 29
Heraina hadn’t expected Lisi to be asked such a question, so Lisi took a moment to gather her thoughts.
Heraina and Wyvern stood quietly, waiting for Lisi to answer.
“Mother, however Father feels comfortable.”
“Are you really sure about that? If I get comfortable, I might become endlessly so.”
“By all means. But Mother, you don’t need to fight in my stead. I’ll handle the fighting myself.”
“Then what should I do for you?”
“Just….”
Lisi recalled her past life—how this affectionate elderly couple had been dragged into a terrible incident and died.
She also remembered how much their two sons had suffered after their deaths.
“Just stay healthy like this, exactly as you are now.”
Lisi looked straight into Heraina and Wyvern’s eyes as she spoke.
To some, those words might have sounded like flattery. But somehow, Heraina’s heart swelled with emotion—she could feel the sincerity shining through Lisi’s lilac eyes.
There are people like that.
No matter how long you see or meet them, you can never grow fond of them.
And then there are others.
The moment you see them, you’re drawn in—even after only a few conversations, you feel an inexplicable connection.
To Heraina, Lisi was the latter.
Delicate and seemingly fragile, yet quietly resolute; with melancholic eyes that lit up brilliantly when she smiled—Lisi had captured Heraina’s heart.
If Wyvern had seen “the eyes of a warrior” in Lisi, Heraina had discovered “a small creature, wounded yet determined to survive.”
That stirred Heraina’s maternal instinct.
“Lisi, didn’t you receive a unicorn as a gift?”
Wyvern broke the silence that had settled between Heraina and Lisi.
“Yes, but I don’t know how to tame it….”
“Give it a name, Lisi. Anything only becomes real once it has a name.”
+++
Lisi headed toward the stable.
‘A name… What should I name it?’
Following Wyvern’s advice, she tried to come up with a name—but the only one that came to her mind was still “White.”
‘I shouldn’t have mocked Kai’s naming sense.’
As Lisi tried to enter the unicorn’s enclosure, the stable hand looked worried.
“My lady, it’s dangerous.”
“It’s fine. I won’t get too close.”
“Under no circumstances should you cross beyond the fence. Understood?”
Only after receiving this warning several times was she finally allowed into the unicorn’s paddock.
Inside, a chest-high fence stood, and the gate—left open in the morning—was now firmly shut.
When Lisi entered, White perked up her ears, and the foal approached the fence.
The young unicorn stared up at Lisi with bright, round black eyes.
Finding it adorable, she instinctively reached out her hand.
Thud-!
Fortunately, she pulled her hand back just before the unicorn could bite it.
‘Goodness!’
That had been close.
“Sweetheart, I won’t hurt you.”
“Hmph!”
The foal snorted. It must understand speech—it was supposed to be clever, after all.
Then the foal turned around and stomped the ground with its hind legs.
Straw and sand scattered from the floor, flying all the way onto Lisi’s dress.
“You’re really quite mischievous.”
“Hee-haah!”
The foal kept stomping.
White, unable to bear it any longer, nudged the foal’s side gently with her nose.
Only then did the foal stop stomping and snuggled into White’s side.
Mischievous, yet undeniably cute.
“I need to give you a name—what kind of name would suit you?”
She asked, knowing full well she wouldn’t get an answer.
“How about Snowball?”
Hearing a voice from behind, Lisi turned around with a smile she didn’t even notice forming on her lips.
Kai had somehow appeared behind her.
“That name’s already been rejected.”
“Who suggested such a brilliant name?”
“Erwell.”
“Ah, Miss Erwell.”
Kai chuckled quietly, as if something had just occurred to him.
“Why are you laughing like that?”
“It’s just… Miss Erwell… No, never mind.”
So he’d been smiling because he thought of Erwell.
For some reason, that made her feel irritable.
“Right here.”
Kai tapped Lisi’s forehead between her eyebrows with his index finger.
“Why are you tensing up, Lisi?”
“I just like keeping tension right here.”
“I don’t think so.”
Kai wrapped one arm around Lisi’s waist and pulled her tightly against him. Pressing his firm thigh against her, he asked softly,
“Isn’t it because you dislike seeing me smile while thinking about another woman?”
“Why would that bother me? You’re free to think and smile however you please.”
She stubbornly tried to push Kai away, but he wouldn’t let her go.
“Then why is your lip sticking out like that?”
Lisi tucked her lips inward, and Kai laughed.
“Are you doing that on purpose?”
“What do you mean?”
With her lips tucked in, her pronunciation came out oddly.
“Are you doing that on purpose to be cute—to drive me crazy?”
“Of course not.”
“It really seems like you’re deliberately being cute.”
“Can someone even be deliberately cute? I’m not actually like that….”
She tried again to push Kai away, but his lips were faster.
He pressed his mouth over hers and gently drew her lower lip between his.
As always whenever his lips touched hers, her mind went blank.
A sweet dizziness filled the emptiness, but Lisi barely managed to steady herself and pushed against Kai’s chest with both hands.
Kai pulled back just enough to rest his forehead against hers.
“Why are you pushing me away so much today?”
“There’s a child watching.”
“A child?”
Lisi wiggled her fingers toward the foal unicorn.
“Hahaha! A child—yes, that’s right, it is a child. Guess I shouldn’t do this in front of a child, huh? Hahaha.”
Kai laughed and released Lisi.
“A child watching….”
For some reason, Kai kept repeating Lisi’s words and laughing.
It was surprising.
She hadn’t realized he could laugh so freely.
In her past life, the Kai she knew was a man without laughter—even his polite smiles were so cold and sharp she’d felt as if standing near him would leave her bleeding from countless invisible cuts.
“Don’t look at me like that, Lisi.”
Noticing Lisi’s gaze, Kai swept his hair back and said,
“Or I’ll kiss you again right in front of that child.”
“Never mind that. I need to name this little one first—do we have anyone good at naming things?”
“‘Never mind that’? So this foal matters more to you than my feelings?”
“You’re not seriously jealous of a foal, are you?”
“Why wouldn’t I be, Lisi?”
Kai stepped between Lisi and the foal.
“You’ve been staring at it this whole time.”
“You looked at it too.”
“That’s not enough. I wish your lovely eyes held only me.”
“You’re awfully greedy.”
Kai draped his arm over Lisi’s shoulder, turned her gently away from the unicorn enclosure, and led her out.
“I’ll be away from home for a few days—up to a week, or as soon as four days. I’ll be back before the wedding, so don’t worry.”
Just as she was about to ask where he was going, a breeze brushed past Lisi’s hair.
At that moment, the perfect name for the foal came to her.
“Windy.”
“Hmm?”
“I think Windy would be a lovely name for her—so she can run as swiftly and freely as the wind. What do you think?”
Delighted by what felt like a perfect name, Lisi turned to Kai with a bright smile—but Kai wore a blank expression.
“You don’t like it?”
“Why would I? Your lovely head is filled only with thoughts of that unicorn, while your husband is about to leave.”
“But it’s your gift to me.”
“I didn’t give it to you so you’d think only of the foal, Lisi. I gave it to you so you’d think of me when you looked at it.”
He really seemed jealous, and Lisi felt oddly conflicted. Such behavior would be normal for an ordinary couple—but she and Kai were far from ordinary.
She knew that as Countess Green, Kai had agreed to treat her as his wife. But the way he was acting now was like a man truly in love.
She wanted to ask,
“Kai, could it be you actually like me?”
But she decided against it.
What Lisi wanted from Kai was trust and camaraderie—not romantic love.
Nothing was as futile as love between man and woman. Where once there had been love so intense they’d have given their lives for each other, only deep black wounds remained afterward.
In her past life—and even in death—she’d witnessed this countless times. Friendship was more reliable than love, and friendship was what she wanted from Kai.
And she, too, would give him that same friendship in return.
“Where are you going?”
Lisi asked a different question instead.
Kai wiped the sullen look from his face and replied,
“To retrieve the Sleeve Stone.”
“It’s not that urgent.”
“It is. I want you to have sweet dreams.”
His voice carried genuine sincerity.
Lisi tilted her head slightly and gently stroked his cheek.
“I already feel like I’m having sweet dreams, Kai. Please don’t overexert yourself.”
+++
Nathan, who had accompanied Kai to search for the Sleeve Stone, finally couldn’t hold back his question.
“Captain, did my sister-in-law slap your cheek or something?”
Kai had been gently touching his left cheek ever since they’d left.
“No, I received something even more intense.”
“Did she kick you?”
“…Nathan.”
“She had every right, Captain. Giving a baby unicorn as a wedding gift… Even Wallace would know better than to give something like that to a delicate lady like my sister-in-law.”
Nathan grumbled, but Kai paid no mind.
Taming a unicorn wasn’t easy—but he believed Lisi could do it.
He wasn’t entirely sure what Lisi intended to do, but he knew the unicorn would become a good friend and companion to her.
“I already feel like I’m having sweet dreams, Kai.”
Lisi’s voice from earlier pushed aside Nathan’s complaints.
Her sweet tone, her sincere eyes, her gentle touch.
He resolved not to hastily name this feeling—the overwhelming urge to possess those things exclusively for himself.
After all, a wounded creature would surely flee if approached too suddenly.

Deputy Commander’s quarters, Sacred Nation’s Tesei Holy Knights.
Eldhardt, who had just returned from a long absence after a suppression mission, found a stack of newspapers and magazines on his desk.
As he read through them, his expression grew steadily darker.
“Eldy!”
The door burst open without a knock, and Oson rushed in just as Eldhardt picked up the wedding invitation from the very bottom of the pile.
“They say Count Kaelbrant Green got married—did you already know?”
Eldy waved the invitation.
“I just received the invitation.”
“The invitation? But I heard the wedding’s already happened.”
“They must have filed the marriage registration first.”
“Huh. Even the great Count Green couldn’t afford to lose the ‘flower of House Wittelo,’ it seems—filing the registration before even holding the ceremony… Well, considering it’s the flower of House Wittelo…”
Oson stopped mid-sentence.
Eldy’s eyes, fixed on the invitation, had turned icy cold.
“The flower of House Wittelo.”
Eldy muttered in a low, grim voice.
“The woman Duke Wittelo kept hidden in his mansion, raising her delicately to sell off to a good family.”
“Oh, come on—don’t say it like that! I heard she’s been frail since birth, so they had to raise her carefully and couldn’t let her outside.”
“Maybe.”
A cold smile spread across Eldy’s lips.
“It’s disappointing to see my brother bewitched by a mere flower and bringing such a woman into our family….”
The invitation crumpled in Eldy’s hand.
“So… you’re not going to the wedding, then?”
Eldy threw the invitation into the trash bin.
“I’ll go. While I’m there, I might as well shatter this marriage too.”

“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?”
