An astonishing view unfolded.
A space covered with roses everywhere, befitting the name of the rose garden.
At the end of the garden, there is a waterfall where clear water falls refreshingly from a tall rock, and a small lake in front of it.
Lamein moved her feet with a faint smile on her lips.
Wearing a beautiful dress and wandering here, it feels like she has become a princess in a fairy tale.
“I did well to ask Duke Haribo for the best roses. They are truly beautiful.”
The Duchess said in admiration.
Lamein slowly scanned the thousands of roses that appeared before her eyes.
‘Should I suggest a flower business together? He probably won’t allow it, it’s too opportunistic.’
This amount of flowers alone must cost a fortune.
At that moment, when she thought that Duke Haribo was lucky to be rich.
Whooooosh.
A wind strong enough to blow hair came from somewhere.
At that moment, when she naturally flipped her blonde hair with her hand.
“……Ugh!”
Lamein quickly covered her mouth with her hand due to a sudden surge of nausea.
‘Why does my stomach suddenly…….’
With sudden nausea, her vision suddenly spun.
“Lamein. What’s wrong?”
A few steps ahead, the Duchess turned and looked at Lamein.
“No. It’s nothing.”
She replied, striving to compose her face, and took a deep breath.
At that moment when the scent of roses from everywhere began to permeate deeply.
“Ugh! ……Ugh!”
A stronger wave of nausea came.
“Lamein! Are you okay?”
“Lamein. What’s wrong?”
Madam Roger and Elina ran in one step.
“Suddenly my stomach…… Ugh!”
The fragrant spreading rose scent now feels like a foul stench.
‘Why is this happening all of a sudden?’
Her vision became dim, and her head began to throb.
The only thought that filled her head was that she needed to get out of here quickly.
“I…… I think I should leave here…… Ugh!”
Lamein, with her mouth sealed, hurriedly escaped the rose garden.
“Haah……. Haah…….”
Lamein, who had run a considerable distance from the entrance of the rose garden, gasped.
Fortunately, as the scent of roses disappeared, the nausea began to subside.
‘What’s wrong? Why is this happening all of a sudden?’
At that moment of confusion without understanding the reason.
“Lamein. Are you okay?”
The Duchess ran frantically and stopped in front of her.
She took a deep breath, slightly bowed her upper body, and straightened up.
“Yes. I feel better. I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. But…….”
Her words trailed off, and she gave an enigmatic look.
“Lamein. You, by chance…….”
And she gradually lowered her eyes.
Her eyes stopped precisely above her lower abdomen.
‘Ah. This is.’
Lamein realized at once what she was thinking and her eyes widened.
“Lamein. Could it be…….”
“It’s not. It’s not that.”
“How do you know it’s not?”
“……What?”
The eyes of the Duchess, which met directly, were clearer and more vibrant than ever.
The eyes of someone who believes without doubt that she will soon become a grandmother.
“Madam. I must say again, I am not the mother of your granddaughter.”
Lamein muttered to herself, knowing that saying anything more would be useless, and forced an awkward smile.
“Lamein. Are you okay?”
Elina came up to her belatedly.
“Yeah. I’m fine now.”
“Why did you suddenly become like that?”
Elina, wearing her characteristic worried look, examined Lamein’s face carefully.
“I don’t know. Anyway, I’m fine now. Mother. I’m sorry. I’m okay.”
She started to feel embarrassed under their focused gaze.
“I think it’s best to go home. Lamein, can you walk?”
“What? Yes. I’m fine now.”
“We must call a doctor as soon as we get home. Let’s go.”
Now the duchess, with a devout look in her eyes, led the way.
As the three of them arrived at the mansion,
“Jane. Take Lamein to her room quickly. And Robert, call the doctor right away. And tell Cedric to come to my room!”
At the lightningfast command of the madam,
“Yes!”
“Yes! I will do so.”
Jane and Robert, with a stiff military demeanor, moved more swiftly than ever.
“Madam. I will take her to the room.”
Jane approached and urged Lamein.
‘Sigh. I told you it’s not like that.’
Knowing the misunderstanding she had, Lamein forced a pathetic smile.
‘I must look to the sky to catch a star, but the one who looks, let alone catches the star, is not me.’
With an inexplicable feeling of frustration, she followed Jane to her room.
.
.
.
“Mother. You called for me.”
The moment Cedric opened the door to the duchess’s room,
“Cedric!”
Ah, what a surprise.
His shoulders jumped at the sound of his mother’s voice calling him, as if something serious had happened.
“Mother. What’s the matter?”
Cedric, with wideopen eyes, rushed to the duchess’s side.
Her face flushed red and her expression excited.
‘What on earth could cause such an expression?’
Cedric’s bewilderment grew at a sight of his mother he had never seen before.
“Cedric. Lamein. That is, Lamein…”
She, who usually remained calm, struggled to continue her words.
‘Lamein? Ah… Did she notice something?’
Clenching his lips tight at the thought of something related to Lamein, tension washed over him.
His mouth felt dry as he clenched his fists and braced himself.
“So what I’m saying is…”
Lady Roger’s lips, which seemed to pierce through with her blue eyes, slowly opened.
“It seems Lamein is pregnant.”
… What? Whose child exactly?
A mysterious story unfolded.
