“In order to get along with us, you’ll have to make an effort too, right? From now on, you can’t just spew fire from your hands like that. Can you promise that?”
Kian looked at Sicar’s mood again, and Sicar raised his hilt as if he would draw his sword if he started a fire again, then put it down.
Kian looked at Sicar and frowned for a moment, but looked at me and nodded cautiously again.
Anyway, it was a neat ending.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Perhaps because Kian’s body had not fully recovered yet, he did not show any signs of getting up until the next day after he fell asleep again.
After leaving Kian’s room, I had breakfast with Sicar. Having barely slept the night before due to caring for Kian, I was almost half asleep while eating.
That’s why Sicar suddenly dismissed all the servants during the meal and said to me.
“You have no manners when it comes to eating. The roast in the center is not for you to use directly, you should ask the servant to cut it for you.”
He speaks only after everyone’s dismissed, fearing that if the servants hear, they will ignore me.
It’s more of an act because I’m his wife than consideration for me.
“You’ll need to learn some dining etiquette from me.”
I didn’t want to learn anything from Sicar. Because the things he’d teach were all too clear, threatening me with death.
Why should I risk my life to learn something?
“Can’t I just have a manners teacher? Or, if you give me related books, I’ll study them. I usually understand theory faster than practice.”
“So, is that why you had so much handson education when you received early childhood education?”
Ah… Having a conversation with someone who reads all of my memories is no ordinary fatigue. Because I can’t lie.
Sicar smirked.
“Planning to lie to me even though you know what kind of person I am. Foolish.”
I admit quickly. So I quickly gave in.
“Okay. I’ll study hard.”
“Jin Yura.”
Jin Yura. That was my name.
It felt strange when Sicar suddenly called my name. Not a good kind of strange. It felt like my name was being called before I was executed.
“Uh…?”
“You have a weak stomach. It takes a long time to digest when you eat meat.”
Knowing that even without me saying it… Maybe it’s not all bad that he can see my memories?
“So, when you eat meat, make sure to take a digestive aid. It won’t look good if the Duchess has frequent bouts of indigestion.”
“That’s something I’ll take care of myself…!”
“But you, when your crush confessed to you, instead of accepting the confession, you had an upset stomach, and the first time you went out for a kindergarten teacher practice, you said ‘Hello. Kids… Bleh…’ If you act like that here, it would be very problematic.”
…Forget that! It’s not good to have your memories read.
Someone’s dark past and embarrassing moments were told with a straight face, and it was so embarrassing I couldn’t lift my head.
‘You kicked everyone out just to say that?’
It wasn’t the meat that was the problem, it was because of Sicar that I felt like I couldn’t digest anything, so I cautiously got up.
“The dessert hasn’t come out yet. Where are you going?”
“I don’t think I can eat up to dessert, so I’m getting up.”
As I turned to leave the dining room, I heard a sharp and dull sound. When I turned around, a steak knife was stuck in the table.
“We still have a lot to talk about, so sit down.”
It seemed that starting with a knife was definitely Sicar’s way of conversation.
My hand was shaking as I went back to the chair and sat down.
“I thought it wouldn’t be too late to rest a little and then do it…”
I spoke with an awkward smile on my face. Isn’t it a bit pathetic how I start to feel fearful when he keeps intimidating me?
Perhaps Sicar Blake resorts to pulling out his sword during conversations because of his ability to skillfully manipulate such people’s psychology.
I mean, because he can read memories, he knows people’s weaknesses too well.
Sicar Blake, while putting a piece of fruit pudding in his mouth, said,
“As you know, the king is looking for Kian. In the novel, the Count of Reidox hid the royal insignia on Kian’s neck.”
The royal insignia was a mark in the original work that allowed the Count of Reidox to recognize Kian as a royal.
The count knew that King Gillian was looking for Kian, so he went to his friend to hide the insignia.
Hiding the insignia itself wasn’t hard, but because it was a royal mark, they needed a trustworthy person. That person was Zeremi Aiker, the mage who was a friend of the count.
However, they had to meet Reidox first, but Sicar and Reidox had a very bad relationship.
Both Sicar and I knew this fact. So, I took the plunge.
“You don’t get along with Reidox. I’ll go.”
“What do you plan to say? Reidox could tell Gillian that Kian is here, right?”
In the original work, the heroine Lucy, who was Reidox’s daughter, often said she missed her mother. So, I planned to use that point to persuade Reidox.
“When Lucy wants to go out because she misses her mom, I’ll find Lucy and take her home. Then we will naturally become close.”
Sicar nodded as if it wasn’t a bad idea.
“Not a bad idea.”
“The count is kind and loves children very much. This is the best method for us.”
“Alright. Let’s do that.”
“And when Kian wakes up, it would be good if you feed him.”
I was about to get up and leave, but Sicar looked at me as if asking what I was talking about.
“Are you telling me to feed Kian? A sevenyearold, not a threeyearold?”
“To become a father, you need to get close. It becomes a reliance when you take good care of them when they are sick.”
Sicar averted his gaze from me, as if to say not to talk nonsense.
“I’ve never fed a child before.”
“Taking good care of them when they are sick is the most effective. You agreed to follow my advice entirely on parenting matters, right?”
His eyes, which had been avoiding me, began to glare at me, and I was wary that his hand might reach for the dagger.
Ah, scary. It’s too scary when you look at me like that.
“Come here.”
“Why……?”
“I don’t know how to feed a child, so I want to see your memory.”
‘Ah, I’m going to get caught again.’
Despite grumbling internally, the powerless me sat down next to Sicar, extended my arm as if it was a familiar routine.
It seemed that I was getting used to it because it wasn’t just once or twice.
Sicar grabbed my arm again and read my memory. But it wasn’t just about reading my memory.
He picked up a spoon, scooped a pudding in front of me, and tried to put it in my mouth.
I was taken aback and quickly pulled my head back, asking,
“What, what are you doing?”
“I’m practicing.”
I was startled. I was worried if this madman, who seemed perfectly fine on the surface, might not only push the pudding but also the spoon into my mouth, and above all, it was uncomfortable.
“Won’t you eat it?”
‘Before he threatens me with a knife again, let’s just eat.’
I reluctantly opened my mouth and accepted the pudding he offered, but I couldn’t taste the delicious pudding at all.
Really uncomfortable.
“Let’s try one more time.”
Sicar has a habit of learning terribly whenever he learns something. If he practices a sword move, he masters it completely.
So, that means he fed me pudding until it became familiar to his body.
“Hey. I can’t eat anymore.”
“Alright. Then I have to call Bika and try feeding her.”
If he was going to do that, he should have practiced with Bika from the start, right? It was a relief that he was making an effort to feed Kian, fearing that he would absolutely refuse to do so.
“So, I guess I’ve done my job, so I’ll go.”
“But you.”
Again, why is he calling me?
I tried not to get annoyed and answered with a forced smile.
“Hmm?”
“You cried when I died.”
He was talking about me shedding tears at the scene of his death.
Before I could even answer that, he asked me.
“Do you like me?”
“……Hmm?”
