Lost in such thoughts, Vane returned, slipping between the two.
“Um… This is the entrance.”
Certainly, the hired help couldn’t take their eyes off Reneve and Icarus. Their footsteps leaving to attend to their duties were quite heavy.
“Let’s change our seats.”
Icarus casually said and extended his arm in front of Reneve.
“That sounds good.”
Reneve gently placed her hand on Icarus’s firm arm and shifted her steps.
Moving to the reception room, Reneve informed Icarus that she had received permission for marriage from Marquess Siren.
“Is that really true…?”
Icarus asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
“Yes. Both of them have granted permission.”
After hearing the answer from Reneve once again, Icarus let out a faint sigh. His expression seemed relieved, yet oddly happy.
“Actually, I was looking forward to how you would test me.”
As Icarus said that, his expression seemed quite confident.
It was as if he had the confidence to accept any method if it meant obtaining permission from Marquess Siren.
Such a remark from Icarus made Reneve’s heart flutter.
It was still hard to believe that someone in this world wanted her so much.
“Really?”
As Reneve giggled, Icarus asked,
“I’m curious about how you persuaded the two.”
Reneve hesitated, nibbling on her lips, unsure if revealing her vulnerable side to Icarus was the right thing to do.
While contemplating this, fortunately, Icarus didn’t pry any further.
“Oh right! You mentioned going to a nearby villa, didn’t you?”
“Um… The appearance has changed quite a bit since the owner of the villa changed.”
Icarus’s face showed a slight hint of regret.
Just as Reneve was about to ask what had happened there, a knocking sound echoed.
“I’ll go check.”
At Vane’s words, Icarus nodded.
“It’s the Gugelhupf you ordered, Your Majesty.”
Soon, Vane returned with a tray. Watching Vane carefully place the tray on the table, Reneve spoke.
“Come to think of it, it’s the first time you’ve mentioned wanting dessert.”
“It seems Your Majesty has memories associated with this dessert.”
Reneve’s eyes widened as she looked at Vane, who was placing a plate and fork in front of both Reneve and Icarus.
If it was related to Icarus, she wanted to know everything.
“……?”
However, when asked to come, Icarus only watched Reneve eat the Gugelhupf without touching it.
“I heard that Yeongae likes this too.”
Having taken a small bite of Gugelhupf, Reneve rinsed her mouth with tea and replied.
“Thanks to Viscount Withering, I’ve had a few made by the royal chef, and it suits my taste. How about Your Majesty?”
“I’m not a fan of sweets, but this dessert is special.”
As if recalling the past, Icarus bit his lips while his gaze lowered. At the same time, Reneve’s curiosity peaked.
“May I ask what memories are associated with it?”
Icarus waited for Reneve to ask, responding as if he had been waiting for her cautious question.
“A very good question.”
Tak, tak.
The sound of burning logs.
The cozy feel of bedding enveloping the body. The faint scent of soothing peppermint lingering at the tip of the nose.
Icarus closed his eyes, feeling his surroundings.
‘… Am I dead?’
Otherwise, all of this couldn’t be explained.
At the age of 13, Icarus, returning from a mercenary mission, was heavily injured and bleeding profusely while being pursued by imperial knights sent by the emperor.
He was in imminent danger of dying.
So, unless it was the afterlife, the current situation didn’t make sense.
“Are you awake?”
At that moment, a small girl’s voice was heard.
Icarus struggled to open his eyes and rolled them in the direction of the voice.
A girl with distinct and splendid features was staring at him.
He couldn’t figure out why he was surprised, with big eyes wide open like a rabbit, and a small mouth slightly agape.
‘Ah…’
After a moment of just staring at the girl in front of him, Icarus soon realized.
The resemblance between the person he saw just before dying and her. Even though he was past the age of enjoying fairy tales, he used to think of her as a childish fairy.
‘Was she an angel…?’
The thought that crossed his mind was amusing, but there was no other way to explain it.
While there was the option of someone treating him, moving him to a safe place, it still didn’t explain the current situation.
“Ugh…”
As he tried to quickly turn his head to understand the situation, he felt a burning pain in his abdomen.
“Why? Does it hurt because of the wound?”
The girl asked, not knowing what to do. Her scrunched-up forehead and nose were quite cute.
He wanted to reassure the girl, but his parched lips wouldn’t cooperate.
“Uh, what should I do? Is there anyone outside?”
The girl frantically got up, shouting. Someone ran from outside.
“Miss, why are you doing this?”
“Oppa, he’s awake. But it seems like he’s in a lot of pain. What should we do?”
“What? He woke up? It looks like he’s still sleeping from what I see.”
Without energy, he had already closed his eyes again.
“Oh… Is he going back to sleep?”
“I’ve prepared strong medicine because I expected severe pain. He won’t be able to get up soon…”
The voices of the conversation gradually faded.
Icarus fell back into a deep sleep, trying to comprehend the current situation.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
