I could not move immediately even after seeing Liandro.

‘Why did this man suddenly come to save me?’

There was too much coming to mind. Liandro Felcis, the male protagonist of the original work, and…….

‘My former fiancé.’

To be precise, Liandro’s fiancée was Estella, the real daughter of Duke Libertan.

Golden hair shining more than mine, eyes as clear and blue as a lake.

A girl who shone like the sun and was lovable, bursting into laughter when given flowers in the garden.

People thought of Estella as an angel that no one could follow. If that angel had not died of an incurable disease, the engagement would have remained.

‘Especially since Liandro’s first love was Estella.’

Liandro, as a child, saw a lovable girl wearing a floral crown in the garden and became engaged.

He embraced the angellike girl as his first love, and to become a man to protect her, he trained in swordsmanship for 10 years in a foreign land and became a knight.

Upon returning from the foreign country, Liandro found a girl at Duke Libertan’s residence.

A beautiful girl with sparkling light pink platinum hair, similar to Estella at a glance.

A girl who resembled his first love so much.

But Liandro felt the passage of 10 years and thought of the girl as Estella, realizing the weight of love whose feelings did not change.

‘That was me.’

Mistaken, Liandro learns the girl’s identity and feels great betrayal.

With the shock of his tragically deceased first love and the anger at the impostor who took her place, Liandro annuls the engagement.

‘Maybe it’s a natural outcome.’

The Duke of Libertan did deceive him, after all. But still, I didn’t see Liandro so favorably.

Because Liandro broke off the engagement, I had to continue to be abused and not protected as in the original work.

If Liandro had not abandoned me like that, I might have been safe.

The neutral Felcis Duchy had that much ability.

‘In the end, even when he tried to run away with me.’

It was a rash act, done out of pity for me, waning like the moon compared to Estella, who shone like the sun. He couldn’t just leave a woman who looked like his first love to die again.

“Do you love me, Sir?”

“I’m sorry. I’ve given all my heart to her. I think of rescuing a wicked woman like the Lady as a way for her angelic sake.”]

The more I recalled the escape from the original work, the stranger my feelings were.

Even if I followed Liandro, I would fail to escape. Moreover, something else bothered me.

‘I will not be able to get out of Estella’s shadow again.’

Even if I was a discarded fake, I was not Estella’s substitute in the Duchy of Blanchet. I had no confidence to return to her standin.

“Lady.”

Liandro opened his mouth brusquely.

“I will catch you safely below. So please muster the courage.”

A strange fervor swirled in Liandro’s blue eyes. Unknowingly, I gripped the terrace railing tightly and asked.

“But who are you, Sir?”

Then Liandro’s eyes hardened.

“You… don’t remember me?”

“Have we met before?”

Amusingly, this was the right answer.

‘Because I only realized Liandro’s existence after awakening the memory of the original work.’

Until then, I only knew I had been punished because of the existence of my former fiancé. Liandro and I had never met before that.

‘There’s Yohan now…….’

It was better to nip it in the bud.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t remember you.”

“I am.”

Liandro’s blue eyes filled with reminiscence. With trembling lips, he spoke, almost in a confessional, reverent manner.

“Someone who must atone to the Lady.”

“Is that so?”

I tilted my head slightly and refused as naturally as possible.
“But I don’t know well, so I don’t think you need to come and tell me like this. Please go.”

Johan won’t misunderstand for no reason.

‘There must be a reason for Liandro.’

Liandro had already missed Yestella and discarded me without even looking at me.

Unlike angelic Yestella, I was not so kind that I wanted to embrace even the people who contributed to my suffering. Liandro will live well on his own anyway.

“Lady, you may not know me.”

Then a strange desperation appeared on Liandro’s face.

“I am Liandro Felcis, your former fiancé. So I can’t just watch the Lady suffer.”

“…….”

“I’m trying to get you back.”

His thick face and bodyfitting armor emphasized Liandro’s ascetic feeling even more.

Deep sorrow and longing were buried in his cold face, resembling a wolf.

“A fiancé? You’re trying to get me back?”

I asked Liandro with wideopen eyes.

“I know that I was engaged before, but I know I’m already divorced. But you’re trying to get me back?”

“I know I’ve been divorced from you for a long time. But I regretted it for a long time. Can’t you give me a chance to save you now?”

“Why? I’m already married.”

“Husband.”

His blue eyes turned icy, as if on fire. He ground his teeth and asked.

“You call that bastard a husband?”

Oops. I accidentally provoked him when I was about to send him away carelessly.
