“If this condition continues, it will really be dangerous.”
The doctor glanced repeatedly at Bake, placing more nutritional supplements for Riviana.
“I’m sure I’m administering the most expensive and best nutritional supplements.”
“Even the best supplements have their limits. And when madam regains consciousness, she even refuses to take the supplements….”
“Can’t you even manage a patient’s heart as a doctor?”
“I apologize! But madam is so strongwilled. She seems to be mentally exhausted.”
“She’s not the only one who’s lost a daughter.”
He shot a glare at the doctor, but all he got in return was a bowed head.
After dismissively ordering the doctor to leave, Bake looked at Riviana collapsed on the bed.
The woman lying with a pale face looked no different from a corpse.
Without the doctor needing to mention it, a shadow of death lay thick on Riviana’s face, visible to anyone who saw her.
“What the hell are you doing. Do you really intend to die? Is Meriel everything to you? What about me? Don’t I appear in your eyes?”
“…….”
Knowing that no response would come, Bake roughly brushed his hair above his forehead.
A carriage, yet to leave, was visible through the window. Duke Pieren’s carriage.
“……So this is your true feeling.”
“…….”
“I want to ask you one thing. If Meriel was really my daughter, would you have gone this far?”
“…….”
“No, that’s not important now. I knew it all from the start, so why would that matter?”
Bake gently caressed Riviana’s cheek with the back of his hand, slowly gripped her neck.
Befitting her title as the ‘white deer’ of the social circle, her slender, long neck was too beautiful.
During the days when Riviana was at the pinnacle of the social circle, men would become excited just at the sight of that white nape.
“No matter how many men are in love with you, or desire you, I am the final victor.”
“…….”
“So it’s okay if your heart wavers a little. Even if you don’t love me, I love you.”
“…….”
“I have no intention of ever letting you go to that man.”
No matter what the price.
Bake slowly released his hand from Riviana’s neck.
And he fixed the sheet that had slipped off, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
[This is the time separator]“Where is she? Why, can’t I see? Why?”
“Madam, please calm down!”
“Why isn’t she here!”
Pushing away the maid’s hand that was trying to hold her, she scoured the room.
But she could see nothing. Meriel’s traces that should obviously be here, were nowhere to be found.
“You should rest now, madam.”
“Stop the nonsense and restore it as it was.”
This was Meriel’s room.
It should have been the place where Meriel’s traces were most abundant.
But now, nothing was left.
Except for the wallpaper that hadn’t been stripped yet, there were no traces of Meriel anywhere in the room.
“I, I’m sorry! His Majesty ordered me to clear all of the lady’s room before you woke up.”
“……He did?”
“Yes! Yes! I guess he thought if the lady’s traces remained, you.”
“Where is Bake right now?”
“Pardon?”
“Where is he!”
She roughly grabbed the maid’s shoulder and growled.
The maid pointed in one direction with trembling fingers, tears welled up in her eyes.
At the end of the long corridor, Bake was walking towards her.
She walked briskly towards him without any hesitation.
“Why did you clear Meriel’s room.”
“It was all for you.”
“For me?”
“It’s unfortunate that Meriel is dead, but it’s time to let go. If this continues, you’ll really be in danger.”
“Time to let go! How can you say such a thing! Meriel hasn’t been dead that long, how can you say something like that.”
She glared at Bake, trying to suppress the rising anger.
It hadn’t even been a year since Meriel’s death.
Forgetting was impossible, and clearing her room was even more so.
“So what should I do?”
“What?”
“You’re skipping meals, not sleeping properly, and only staying in this room, falling again and again, what more should I do?”
“…….”
“I’m also tired. I’m tired.”
Bake sighed deeply, leaning on his forehead.
She clenched her fists, trying not to see the resentment in his eyes.
Whenever she stood in front of her husband, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of being a sinner.
“……I’m sorry. From now on, I’ll eat properly and sleep properly. And if you want, I’ll refrain from coming here.”
“…….”
“I’m sorry for getting angry just now. I guess I got too excited when I saw Meriel’s room cleared. So…….”
“…….”
“Please return Meriel’s room to its original state.”
I exhaled roughly and covered my face with both hands.
Really, everything was completely messed up.
I, who prided myself on being more rational than anyone else, was no longer present.
Only I, who was swept away by the fluctuating emotions every moment, didn’t know what to do.
The past 8 years were too great to forget.
My daughter was in all of my time.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
