Dinner time.
The wellcooked beef cutlet was about to reveal itself with a puff of white steam under Mrs. Berium’s knife edge.
“I won’t go to the matchmaking.”
Liz’s sudden declaration made the wife’s knife stop dead.
“You won’t go to matchmaking? Does that mean you won’t get married?”
Her mother asked, eyes wide open, to which Liz answered, shaking her head.
“It’s not that I won’t get married, I just won’t go to matchmaking. For a while.”
“Why? Now only the real good ones are left.”
Her mother said, regretfully. Mirabel, standing in one corner, felt even more regret.
But Liz would not change her mind.
“I’ll take a break and meet someone. I don’t want to meet anyone now.”
‘It doesn’t even seem like I can meet them.’
Liz thought, rubbing her throbbing temples.
“How strange?”
Her mother tilted her head and said,
“Why would both of them consecutively let go of the partnership? As if someone had schemed it.”
At that, Liz burst into a smirk and replied.
“Who would do such a thing? It’s not a selection for the crown princess, just a marriage for a noble lady. If there is, they must have nothing else to do.”
Clang[Dash].
Suddenly, a loud metallic sound was heard, and when they turned around, Kain had dropped a silver tray on the floor.
‘Why would he make a mistake he never made before…….’
‘Be careful,’ she glanced and then turned her eyes back to her mother.
Her mother resumed the momentarily interrupted conversation.
“What crown princess selection? There’s no crown prince. If it’s the Grand Duke’s wife selection, maybe.”
“The Grand Duke’s wife? Oh…….”
She remembered as soon as she asked.
The Grand Duke Montaner, the halfbrother of the retired Emperor who had ruled in place of the deceased Emperor and missing successor. He was unmarried, indeed.
“Why hasn’t he married at that age?”
“That age? He’s only forty?”
“Isn’t forty an age when he should have been married twice?”
At least in this world.
“Well, he probably didn’t find a suitable woman. He had quite high standards. You had to be quite popular in social circles. Everyone was frustrated because they couldn’t be his dance partner……. ”
“You too, mother?”
She just threw out a word, but there was no answer.
It seems right, seeing that.
But forty, huh. The current crown prince was the child of a childless Emperor in his fifties. The Emperor would have been close to seventy if he were alive, and his brother is only forty now. He’s young.
“Still, that man, although he was born in the outer chamber, grew up quite loved. His brother, the retired Emperor, cherished him enough to consider him his right arm. Unlike someone.”
“Why does your speech sound a bit pointed?”
When Liz narrowed her eyes and replied, her mother immediately acknowledged, as if she had no intention of hiding it.
“You should be kinder to your sister from now on. She’s your only blood relative, so don’t be too harsh.”
“I was going to…….”
I was about to say so. But before I could say that, the person in question appeared.
“Sister is still kind to me. Don’t worry too much, mother.”
Lilia came in with a gentle smile.
Liz felt the atmosphere brighten and become cheerful just by her entrance.
Is it because she’s the heroine?
Or is it because she has a lot?
Tall and slim, dancinglike light steps, elegant, long and slender arms floating in the air, and above all.
A smile that makes the viewer feel good.
‘I can’t beat that.’
Liz swallowed a bitter smile.
But the intense jealousy didn’t arise as before.
Rather, acknowledging the inevitable gap, it felt easier, perhaps?
I can like her now…….
“Mom!”
“……?”
“I’m sorry. Sister. I can’t sit across from Sister. Then Sister will hate it…….”
“……. ”
Is it still too early?
Considering that this perplexing appearance seems a bit contrived.
“What’s wrong? Just sit down.”
Her mother smiled warmly at Lilia and then scolded Liz.
“Lilia will be joining us for meals from now on. It’s almost been a year since she became part of our family, and yet she’s still treated as an outsider. Isn’t that too much? Don’t you agree?”
“No.”
Liz responded shortly and simply.
“Thank you…… sister.”
Lilia carefully took her seat, speaking to Liz. A faint tremor was in her voice.
“You’re turning eighteen this year, aren’t you?”
Mother asked as she chopped the beef cutlet.
“Nineteen, mother.”
“Ah, that’s right. You’re only a year younger than Liz. I’m sorry, being a mother, I should know your age.”
“It’s all right. You were close enough.”
At Lilia’s gentle words, mother seemed pleased. She smiled, a smile she never wore for herself, and Liz thought, despite being the real daughter, why did those two seem more like mother and daughter?
Perhaps in the book, Liz’s harshness towards the protagonist was for a similar reason.
“You haven’t had a proper comingofage ceremony, have you? Flora… I mean, it must have been during your mother’s illness.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
