Beyond the vast meadow, densely rising trees formed a lush forest that caught the eye at a glance.
The field spread beside the dirt road the carriage was traveling on, adorned with blooming flowers, looked as if it were covered with a colorful quilt. Flowers of various colors, each preserving its own hue, swayed and danced to the rhythm of the wind.
Idel’s emerald green eyes also reflected the beautiful scenery unfolding outside the window. It was a landscape she had longed to see with her own eyes.
“We have finally entered the Fleur territory.”
“Yes, it’s much more peaceful than I had imagined.”
The sight of adults bending over to cultivate flowers in the fields and children playing under the beautiful tree nearby created a picturesque and idyllic atmosphere.
“The forest and meadow that make up the territory are much larger than I thought.”
“Fleur territory is known for its fertile land and high-quality lumber from the dense forest.”
“That’s right. It’s a truly prosperous place.”
Idel nodded at Caelon’s words. Being a major source of income and specialty of the family, she was well aware of it.
The people of Fleur territory made a living through horticulture, cultivating rare varieties of flowers for sale, and the lumber industry, felling trees from the lush forest.
In Fleur territory, the flowers bloomed even more vividly than in other places, and the trees grew rapidly.
All of this was thanks to the protection of the Flower Fairy, who allowed all of them to settle here, and the people of Fleur held a thanksgiving ceremony for the Flower Fairy every year.
‘Flower Fairy…’
Thinking of the Flower Fairy, memories that had been temporarily buried resurfaced in her mind.
⌜A curse has befallen the Upieter royal family. It was because of the prophecy by the Flower Fairy Fleur. Having heard the prophecy, Emperor Upieter warned the Fleur family, considering it a curse that weakened the power of the royal family.⌟
It was the content she had read in an ancient book she happened upon while browsing the library in the Grand Duchy.
Since the next pages were damaged and unreadable, she didn’t know the details yet… but remembering this passage made her chest flutter with unease.
‘A curse that weakens the power of the royal family…’
Idel’s trembling gaze turned to Caelon, who was sitting across from her. His profile, sculpted like a work of art, gazing out the window, was etched into her retina.
‘Maybe, does he know about this too?’
Idel wondered if Caelon had heard about this content.
What was the curse laid down by the Flower Fairy, and why did the Upieter Emperor caution the Fleur family in the first place…
There might be more detailed historical records in the imperial archives, and Caelon, who grew up in the imperial palace, might have learned about this history.
‘Should I ask him…?’
However, her lips wouldn’t easily part.
As her family was still intact despite being warned by the imperial court, she had considered it merely a misrecorded history and a trivial matter… but…
‘If there really was such a history…’
Her heartbeat throbbed with an uneasy wave. She clasped her hands over her left hand, adorned with the marriage ring.
‘No. If there were any issues, he wouldn’t have proposed a contract marriage to me first.’
Spending time with him, she knew well of Caelon’s uncompromising nature. If he thought there was any potential problem with her family… he wouldn’t have kept her by his side.
“Caelon, by any chance…”
Still wanting to dispel the lingering unease, she spoke up.
“Have you heard of the Flower Fairy?”
“The Flower Fairy…?”
Caelon, in response to her abrupt question, cocked his head and asked, “Is it the fairy who granted protection to your family?”
“Yes, that’s right. By any chance, have you heard about the history related to that fairy and the imperial family?”
“The history related to the Flower Fairy and the Upieter imperial family?”
In response to Idel’s question, Caelon stroked his chin and fell into thought for a moment. She stared at him with an intense gaze, sensing his tension.
“No, I don’t know anything about it.”
Caelon, who stated this firmly, looked at her with a puzzled expression.
“Why would you suddenly ask such a question?”
“…I happened to come across an ancient book at the Grand Duchy’s library, and it contained anecdotes not found in the history books I studied.”
“Was it a story related to the imperial family?”
“Yes, it was about the curse of the imperial family.”
When Idel cautiously mentioned the curse, Caelon responded with a voice tinged with laughter.
“There are many curses on the imperial family. Even the ones I know of number more than ten.”
Surprised by the statement that there were many curses on the imperial family, Idel widened her eyes.
“Mostly folklore with unknown origins. Stories fancifully embellished by gossip-loving courtiers.”
As if trying to soothe the tense atmosphere, Caelon added.
“So, don’t worry about curses. They’re all lies.”
“That’s a relief.”
Only then did Idel’s lips part, and a sigh of relief escaped.

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.
