‘I have to remember. How can I stop the Duke?’
That’s when Liz was casting a spell on herself.
“There’s a very good way to stop your uncle.”
As if he could see through her inner thoughts, Hersis spoke at an exquisite timing.
Liz’s eyes sparkled.
“What is that?”
“The sooner we have a child.”
“…….”
“There is nothing as difficult to manipulate as a solid succession structure.”
“…….”
“I like to have many, but it must be tough for you, right? Let’s start with one for now.”
How can I steer the conversation in that direction?
Liz was stunned and couldn’t speak.
Meanwhile, Hersis subtly relaxed his eyes and leaned toward Liz.
“Since we’re talking about it, shall we start now?”
“Ah… No way!”
Terrified, Liz pushed him away, shouting.
“We’re not even married yet, why are you talking about making something? No way.”
“Yeah. I thought the same.”
“……?”
Surprisingly, he accepted it willingly, which astonished Liz. However…
“I can’t make it just because you want to. So, for now, let’s enjoy without thinking about having a child. The child will naturally come along as we enjoy.”
“…….”
Hersis was Hersis.
Every word was armed with logic favorable to him.
‘No, enjoy? How is that different from making a child?’
A truly forced and astonishing man.
Did Cain feel like this when I forced him?
Liz realized that she couldn’t persuade this man with words.
“No matter what you say, it’s not allowed. How… how…”
Liz pulled the blanket up to her eyes, unwilling to show even a bit of her bare skin.
“Can you sleep with someone you’ve met only briefly?”
Then, Hersis, as if astonished, asked back.
“Met only briefly? Have you forgotten that we’ve known each other for almost ten years?”
“That’s with Cain for ten years.”
“I am Cain. This body is Cain’s too.”
“I know, but…”
Liz expressed her distress.
“Even though I understand it in my head… my heart doesn’t. I’m still unfamiliar with Your Majesty. I can’t sleep in this state.”
“Hmm.”
Hersis let out a deep sigh. It was a sigh with a strong concentration of distress.
“Alright, let’s do it this way.”
After a moment of thought, he said.
“Close your eyes and let’s do it. The body is the same, so it doesn’t matter, right?”
Liz’s mouth gaped open at the unexpectedly ingenious solution.
Just imagining it made her face flush.
“Your Majesty. That’s a bit too much…”
“Liz.”
Hersis interrupted Liz’s words with a slightly subdued voice.
“Have you ever heard of being jealous of yourself?”
“… No.”
“I haven’t heard of it either. So stop pushing me away.”
“…….”
He got up from his seat and looked down at Liz with a stern expression. His gaze couldn’t be colder.
“Cain is no more. I am Hersis Castrion, your man. Adapt to this face quickly.”
He coldly turned around and left.
Liz stared blankly at the empty bed for a while.
A sigh full of anguish escaped her lips.
“I want to do that too, but it just doesn’t work out. What should I do?”
Being jealous of oneself.
Even for Hersis, the situation was utterly perplexing and made no sense.
He didn’t entertain the thought that Liz, who had a stubborn disposition, would immediately open her heart to him.
He knew it would take some time to accept. He was prepared for that.
However, judging by her attitude just now, the time she needed seemed to be on a completely different scale than what he estimated.
It seemed it wouldn’t be a matter of days but rather months or even years.
How on earth could he wait for that?
While returning to his quarters, a full-body mirror covering one side of the wall suddenly caught his eye. Hersis stopped in front of it and silently gazed at the man reflected in the mirror.
The man in the mirror, with a well-proportioned physique and sharp eyes, was also looking at him.
At first, the face changed. A platinum-haired, warm-hearted man with blue eyes was smiling at him.
Hersis, after silently observing the illusion his imagination conjured up, mocked the cheerful face.
“What’s so good about that face? It can’t even compare to half of the original face.”
He resisted the urge to shatter the mirror and turned away.
As he climbed the stairs and walked through the corridor, he pondered on what he should do in the future.
A few years seemed too long.
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…
