The moment the Grand Duke, who knew that defying the order meant certain death, did not surrender willingly but confronted Blake by forming a demonic blood contract.
In the original work, Sicar, who thought the battle would end quickly, unexpectedly had to fight against a large demonic army for over five years.
This time, since he read my memories and went, the battle wouldn’t take as long as the original, but that didn’t mean it would end quickly.
Whether it would take one year, two years, or, as in the original, five years, I couldn’t tell.
Thinking about our safety, Sicar excluded Vika from the expedition. It must have been quite worrisome to leave me, who had no abilities in this large dukedom, and young Kian.
Vika handed me the key to the duke’s office, saying, “The duke asked me to give it to you. Now, this dukedom should be governed by the lady.”
Saying that, Vika seemed somewhat relieved.
“Oh, and this is the key to the vault. There are jewels, gold, and various precious metals inside, so use them as you wish. That way, even if the duke is not here, you won’t feel too lonely, he said.”
I accepted the key for the time being and said, “Feel lonely… Why did the Duke think that? I’m not lonely at all.”
However, Vika did not agree with my words and scratched my cheek as if I were mistaken.
“Your eye tails are drooping, your sight is blurry, and there’s no light in your pupils. Looking at that, you seem to be quite lonely.”
From the death of Valizé to the expedition. It was indeed true that my heart felt heavy with successive sudden news.
There might have been a lot of reliance on Sicar unconsciously during that time.
“I guess I looked like that because I was too focused on thinking about the future.”
“During the duke’s absence, I will assist you, so don’t worry too much about the future.”
“Thank you for saying that, Vika.”
“As you know, I have a bright ear, and I didn’t put soundproof magic in your room, so when you call me, I can come right away. So, when you want to find me, you don’t have to bother calling a servant.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Well, I’ll go up now.”
As Vika was about to turn away, I remembered the question I wanted to ask her when I met her.
“Um, Vika.”
At my call, Vika, who was about to turn away, hesitated and turned around.
“Yes?”
“I want to ask one thing, it’s a bit random, but do you have a language that sounds like ‘thank you’ in my language?”
“A language similar to that?”
“Yes.”
“What could it be?”
Vika thought for a moment, seeming to ponder a bit more, and then suddenly said something as if she remembered.
“Maybe, Kumama?”
“Kumama?”
“It’s Elvish, and it means ‘take my soul.’ But why are you asking about that?”
Was that what it meant? So that’s why I blushed.
Thinking about it, I burst into laughter.
Perhaps because I smirked a bit, Vika, who had been observing me cautiously, asked with a puzzled expression, “But why are you asking that?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was just curious about who might have misunderstood those words.”
Upon hearing that, Vika took out a notebook and a pen from her pocket and began writing something. Her movements were quite swift.
“Vika, what are you suddenly doing?”
“Oh, the Duke instructed me to write down anything that seems odd about the lady’s behavior and send it in a letter.”
“V-Vika?! You don’t have to write that!”
“I’m sorry, my lady. It’s also part of my duties.”
Well, if Sicar thinks Vika has disobeyed my orders in any way, he would surely find a way to bother her.
I briefly considered grabbing Vika’s arm to stop her or restraining her in some way, but even if I did, she wouldn’t listen, and it would be a memory that would eventually be revealed.
“Then I’ll take my leave.”
I called Vika back as she was about to enter her own room.
“Um, Vika!”
Vika, turning back to me, looked at me with a face that seemed to ask why again.
“Do you have something for me to do?”
“It’s not that. I just have something I didn’t say. Thanks to you, Vika, for getting rid of the spirits of nightmares, we were able to get by. I was really grateful. I should have told you that earlier, and I’m sorry I didn’t.”
Vika didn’t seem moved at all, but she also didn’t put on a pretense. She spoke with her usual calm and indifferent gaze.
“I did suffer a lot.”
“Oh, yes, that’s right.”
Although Vika was now really going to leave, at that moment, Andrea entered the living room.
“My lady, I have something to report.”
Andrea’s face was different from usual, not as calm. What could be happening to make her like this?
“Andrea, what’s going on?”
“The Royal Guard has arrived.”
Right after Sicar left, the Royal Guard? What on earth could this be about?
When I looked at Vika with a bewildered expression, she approached Andrea, frowning.
“What’s going on?”
“The Queen is looking for the lady.”
“Why is the Queen looking for our lady? What could be the reason?”
“I don’t know well either. Her Majesty has sent a carriage herself, and it’s now entering the courtyard.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
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.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.]
