I had to fight the urge to immediately run out and get carnations, so moved was I. As a mother, I had to maintain my dignity.
“Already, I am so touched. The Duke will also fetch the carnation seeds, won’t he? Right, Duke?”
Sicar, who was carelessly sprinkling seeds over the pot, glanced this way and said.
“Getting the seeds is not the hard part. It’s how to grow them that’s difficult.”
As I didn’t know how to grow flowers, that day, the three of us gathered around and searched in the flower guide.
“Mother. In the greenhouse, you can see flowers all year round.”
“Is that so?”
Both Kian and I looked at Sicar after replying. Our gaze was a wordless request for him to build a greenhouse in the Duke’s estate.
Seeing our expressions, Sicar snorted.
“There’s no need to build a greenhouse. If you use sacred water, any plant will grow well.”
‘Right, that’s what it was before. I just have to use the sacred water.’
“So if we use sacred water, flowers will grow all year round?”
“The flowers will grow well as long as you water them in time. I don’t have time to worry about it now, so leave it to the maids.”
Kian didn’t say anything. There was no room to care about such things, just as Sicar said.
The protagonist, who is to rule this country, shouldn’t be wasting his time growing carnations. Absolutely not.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Whether it was because of the effect of the rosemary, I don’t know, but afterwards, we spent our time playing different games every day.
Although the relationship between Sicar and Kian was still awkward, they were getting used to being together.
More than anything, I focused on the three of us being together. I had no choice but to focus.
‘Because Gillian’s wedding was waiting for me!’
With Gillian’s wedding ahead, I sought Sicar’s study to bring up the postponed talk while Kian was asleep at night.
I had never visited his study at this hour, so Sicar asked with a puzzled face.
“What’s the matter in my study at this hour? If you’re here to pretend it’s hard to attend Gillian’s wedding…”
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Then what?”
“Do you happen to know who Hersia is?”
Sicar tilted his head.
“Well, should I know this person?”
I wanted to tell him outright that it’s your wife from the novel. But it seemed like a blatant answer like ‘so?’ would come, so I gave up.
“She’s Gillian’s cousin’s younger sister.”
“If she’s Gillian’s cousin’s younger sister, then I’ve seen her before. But why bring this up?”
“She dies on the day of Gillian’s wedding.”
“I see.”
This was a moment when I felt the awkwardness, as if, if this was a cartoon, birds would pass behind me.
“So, I’d like it if you could save her.”
“Why?”
It’s too unfair to die for no reason! A shout like this wouldn’t help at all. So I had something prepared.
“If you help Hersia, Gillian will see you in a good light.”
“It doesn’t matter if he sees me poorly. It won’t be easy for him to hit me anyway.”
“We have to raise a child and all, so it’d be better if we get along, even if it’s in name only.”
“Come to think of it, I remember who Hersia is. She was the woman who becomes my wife in the novel, wasn’t she?”
“That’s right. It’s her.”
“You want to save the woman who becomes my wife in the novel, even if it makes you jealous?”
That’s your misunderstanding. But, this was just the misunderstanding I needed. Even if it’s your misunderstanding, I need to save her.
Sicar grabbed my hand and pulled me in, doublechecking the contents of the novel.
“The purpose of eliminating Hersia is simply to warn Gillian. So it’s okay to implement it according to the novel?”
“Yes. Just do as it is.”
“But, looking at the content of the novel, there’s something that bothers me. Before this, Gillian had no particular thoughts, but at this point, he decides to marry me and his cousin’s younger sister, Hersia, when he sees me saving her? My saving Hersia seems to inspire Gillian to tie me to him forever… is that okay?”
“What’s what?”
“I mean, I’ll be involved with Hersia, is that okay?”
“If that’s the case, you’re already married and can’t marry Hersia, right? Are you saying this in case Gillian asks you to accept Hersia as your legal wife?”
“Approaching with such a simple idea could be quite dangerous. Gillian would handle it differently.”
“What does that mean? Can you explain it to me?”
“It means if you die, Hersia will be able to marry me.”
What a vicious thing to say.
“Why should I…die?”
“It means Gillian could somehow kill you to tie Hersia as my wife.”
For a while, I couldn’t say anything, as if I had turned to stone. I had never thought that Gillian would kill me and replace me with Hersia, as Sicar said.
“So if you want to live, leave Hersia to die. She has nothing to do with you anyway, so it’s best to not care.”
I wish I could think as coldly as Sicar, but because I felt compassion for her pathetic life in the novel, I felt a little uncomfortable.
But I couldn’t save her and die, as Sicar said.
“Then, isn’t there another way?”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
