He seemed to recall the recent incident with Siren Viscount Yeong-ae, and his eyes softened.
“It was true that my stomach churned when another man’s name came out of Yeong-ae’s mouth…”
“…”
“But I quickly noticed. Yeong-ae’s lips were subtly sealed. Oh, by the way, Yeong-ae is not good at lying.”
“Yes…”
“Druhan, have you ever thought about what causes jealousy psychologically?”
“No, I haven’t.”
On this day, to properly deal with the unusually talkative lord, Druhan put down the documents he was holding and raised his head.
“I want to confirm. That I am loved.”
“Ah… I see.”
Druhan mechanically admired and played along.
“Do you know why I want to confirm it?”
“No, I don’t.”
Druhan tilted his head.
“It’s because Yeong-ae loves me very much.”
Now Druhan understood.
Why the usually reserved lord was so talkative today.
‘He wanted to brag to me that he is loved by Siren Viscount Yeong-ae.’
The employees of Siren Viscount, who returned safely from the enemy territory after three years, welcomed Renévé.
Some were happy, and some secretly wiped away tears.
After receiving the warm welcome from the employees, Renévé was finally able to return to her bedroom.
Amber, who had placed a warm cup of tea on the table, spoke to Renévé.
“Well then, rest comfortably, Miss. If you need anything, please call me.”
“I will.”
Alone now, Renévé looked around her bedroom.
‘It hasn’t changed at all since three years ago.’
Renévé saw Amber lifting her untouched teacup and heading towards the desk.
Sitting at the desk, Renévé began to jot down the tasks she needed to do.
Organizing Siren Viscount.
Once she left, this grand mansion would no longer be needed.
Siren Viscount and Patrick were still considering seeking asylum in Basquera, but even if they decided not to seek asylum, they would stay in the western territories.
So, it was appropriate to organize this place before marriage.
Renévé decided to give the mansion’s employees the option to choose.
‘Employees with families nearby may find it difficult to leave this place, so I can write recommendation letters for them to work in other noble households.’
After that, she just needed to persuade Wendy for poor Smith.
‘After organizing the mansion, then… ‘
Renévé wrote each character on the paper with a somewhat cool expression.
Hwangbi, Esika, Lucius…
At that moment, the echoing footsteps were heard in the corridor.
“……?”
“Ah, Miss!”
Soon, Amber’s urgent voice came from beyond the door.
“Amber, what’s the matter?”
Before Renévé could answer, the bedroom door burst open.
“Miss! His Highness, the Third Prince, has come!”
“…Third Prince?”
As Amber nodded, another set of footsteps approached, and a familiar voice echoed.
“Renévé.”
Lucius!
Suppressing the sigh that was about to burst out, Renévé calmly spoke.
“…What brings His Highness here at this late hour?”
“I have something to discuss with you.”
Amber looked at Renévé with a somewhat helpless expression.
“Amber, could you prepare some tea?”
Casting an anxious glance at Lucius, Amber hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.
“I’ll lead you to the reception room.”
Renévé left the bedroom and walked to the reception room. Lucius followed her without saying a word.
Sensibly, the tea Amber brewed had a calming effect on the mind. It was the type that would soothe one’s mood when consumed.
It seemed to be prepared for the excited Lucius who had come to visit.
And Renévé wasn’t the only one benefiting from it.
Not only did Lucius have to endure the discomfort of seeing that unpleasant face again, but Renévé’s feelings about having to see him again were also far from pleasant.
“On your way here, you didn’t hurt the mansion employees, did you?”
Renévé took a sip of the warm tea and asked.
“There shouldn’t be any harm to their lives.”
The mansion employees didn’t know that Renévé had just returned. Therefore, they had no way of knowing that her feelings towards Lucius had not changed. That’s why they easily allowed Lucius’ visit today.
Internally shaking her head, Renévé asked, “So, why did you come to see me?”
She thought he would inquire about her engagement with Icarus.
For Lucius to become emperor, military power was needed, and marrying Renévé was the quickest way to obtain the Siren Viscount.
The engagement between Renévé and Icarus had disrupted Lucius’ plans.
‘So, he must want to discuss that.’
Why Renévé wasn’t moving according to his intentions.
However, what came out of Lucius’ mouth was a bit different from Renévé’s expectations.
“Renévé, there seems to have been some misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding? Well, can there be any misunderstandings between His Highness and me?”
“I admit that I’ve been blunt… I acknowledge it.”
Renévé’s eyebrows gathered.
It was the first time Lucius admitted his fault, and it was also the first time he depreciated himself.
“I think there might have been some misunderstanding due to recent changes I’ve learned about.”
After carefully choosing his words, Lucius continued.
“Empress Hwangbi seemed to have made things difficult for you all this time.”
