Sicar approached me nonchalantly, despite having just made such a savage remark, and took my hand.
“Reidox gave you a perfume as a gift. His words aren’t wrong. Despite the numerous speculations about you wrapped in a veil, people will be curious about the perfume you’ve sprayed.”
I almost forgot because of the fear he gave me.
“What about Veronia?! What happened to Veronia? Did you find her?”
Sicar downed a cup of tea that the maid had brought and shook his head.
“I couldn’t find her.”
“I see.”
It’s unlikely that Gillian hid Veronia where she’d be easy to find, and in the original work, Kian only happened upon Veronia by chance in the square, so she wouldn’t be easy to locate.
My energy suddenly drained, perhaps due to the high expectations.
“However, it wasn’t entirely fruitless. We’ve confirmed Veronia’s face.”
“Wwhat? You confirmed her face?!”
“Having confirmed her face, it would be a bit easier to find her than by sentence.”
As Sicar said, that was quite a big harvest. Because he could confirm it with people.
“Why are you looking for that woman? Is it the Duke’s doing?”
Looking back, Bika was descending the stairs with a suspicious look.
“Veronia is a princess. Why are you looking for a princess? Don’t you think you’re hiding too much from me?”
Sicar brought the tea cup to his mouth, as if answering was bothersome.
“You just do what you’re told.”
“When the king visited last time. It’s said that the Duke filled his house with nightmare spirits. It wasn’t bad feasting after a long time, but it was strange. We put the king on his throne, so why would the king leave such things in the Duke’s house? What is the Duke doing these days?”
“When the time comes, you’ll naturally know, so don’t ask unnecessarily.”
“Why can’t you say it now?”
“Do I have to explain such things to you? Don’t try to understand like Durion, just do as you’re told. You’re starting to do things you didn’t do before.”
“Can’t I do that anymore?”
Still, Bika and Durion seem to know nothing.
Durion hated complicated and headacheinducing things by nature, so even if I explained the reasons, he would refuse the explanation. And Bika didn’t question Sicar due to their pact.
She wasn’t the type to ask what he was up to.
My suspicion certainly seemed to have increased since my conversation with Sicar and our marriage.
Sicar disliked explaining his actions, so I had no choice but to do it.
“Bika. I’ll tell you. Sicar. I’ll explain to Bika.”
‘I mean, stop fighting you two.’
I really wanted to explain nicely, but Bika didn’t seem to want to hear my explanation.
“It’s okay. I don’t want to hear from you.”
Bika was chilly… not just towards me, Bika was naturally cold to everyone. That thought was somewhat comforting.
Anyway, Bika seemed to prefer not hearing my explanation and went up to her room.
Sicar seemed to think I had intentionally said that.
“You know Bika very well. You handled her perfectly.”
No, I wasn’t trying to handle her, I really wanted to explain nicely…
“Bika hates talking to people weaker than her. Especially with a weakling like you who has no power. You’ve utilized that fact very well.”
So that’s why Bika always wears leather pants.
Actually, I didn’t know much about Bika. It wasn’t detailed like that. But I did think that getting along with Bika would be really hard in the future.
I felt drained and spoke listlessly.
“If the conversation is over, I’m going to my room.”
“Wait.”
Sicar flicked his finger at the servant. Then the servant brought something stacked on paper to Sicar, who then handed it to me.
“Take it.”
“What’s this…?”
It turned out to be rosemary.
“This is…?”
“It’s not drawn on paper, it’s a real rosemary flower. There are rosemary seeds inside. If it signifies domestic peace as you said, then grow it well. For the peace of our family.”
“Sicar…”
Is this…somewhat touching? Am I touched now? By this villain who just now threatened to kill me?
“Don’t be moved by just this. You have no idea the threats I’ve faced.”
Yet, I had never imagined that he would buy rosemary flowers, so I was deeply touched. Whether it was merely to break my curse or not, for this moment, my heart was warmed.
“I’m tired too, so I must sleep now. See you tomorrow.”
I looked at the rosemary and whispered to Sicar as if he were there.
“Please protect our family’s peace.”
It was a bit embarrassing to think that Sicar would read my memory and see this, but today my heart was somehow warm.
I had Mary put the rosemary in the living room. To remember family peace by looking at it every day.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Excluding the heavy snowfall, it was a pretty peaceful morning.
Perhaps, I annoyed Sicar from the morning, thinking that giving me the rosemary while talking about family peace might have been a mistake.
Because I asked him to make toast for breakfast for the sake of family peace.
“I really don’t understand what making toast in the morning has to do with family peace.”
He complained but kept his word about making an effort for parenting.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
