Considering that Riz should lie down for a while, she ate slowly. So Hursis had to wait for a long time, during which Riz suggested that Hursis should try what she was eating.
“Please have some as well.”
“There’s not much left, but you should eat it all.”
“It’s hard to digest, so I can’t eat everything. I have to keep lying down…”
Although it was a word meant to feed him somehow, she felt it might cause unnecessary worries.
So Riz quickly added, “Well… even if you say ‘continuing,’ it won’t be more than ten days, right? It won’t go beyond that.”
She had already informed Hursis that she expected five times, but he didn’t show any reaction.
Hursis chuckled and, as Riz wished, ate together.
Sharing a folding table and using the same utensils, Riz found it somehow amusing to have a meal.
Hursis asked, “Why are you laughing?”
“Just because. I just feel good.”
Though he narrowed his eyes, as if saying, ‘It doesn’t seem so,’ Hursis didn’t ask further.
Chewing the bread piece Hursis gave her, Riz said to herself, ‘Sorry for deceiving you. I just couldn’t say that.’
What made Riz laugh was a wish from her past life.
In her previous life, Riz wished for a simple and homely life.
Living like this, sitting around a table, chatting together, and sharing a meal. That was enough for her.
The already fulfilled wish was sweeter than she had imagined. However, something was missing.
In the life she wished for, there was a child. She didn’t specify the number, but there was definitely a child. But now…
The future didn’t seem certain.
Realistically and fatefully…
“Hursis.”
“Try this.”
She opened her mouth to say something, and at the same time, bread, meat, and vegetables entered her mouth.
The amount was so much that it took a while just to chew. During that time, he spoke first.
“The child will be fine.”
It was a gentle voice.
“Because it’s my child. Our family has been resilient through generations. There has never been a single heir to the royal throne who died before the age of twenty.”
“…”
“Trust me. You’ve never seen me say something wrong.”
Riz chewed and swallowed what was in her mouth.
Now there was no reason not to speak.
“Have you seen it before?”
“When was it?”
“About three years ago? When you were Cain, and I was Riz Berium, you said something wrong to me.”
‘I can’t believe I did that.’
With a face that couldn’t believe it, Hursis looked at Riz.
Expecting how his confident expression would change, Riz spoke with a face full of anticipation.
“When I said, ‘I hope the day comes soon when we sleep and wake up together in the same bed…,’ you said that there would never be such a day. Miss.”
“How do you know that? Did I really say that?”
Riz was confident of victory. She was sure Hursis would admit defeat with a bewildered face. However…
“Why would that be wrong?”
“… Why would it be wrong?”
With an unexpected response, Riz’s face quickly became perplexed. Then he said.
“That was Cain. Cain never slept and woke up in the same bed with you, so I don’t think I was wrong.”
“W-Well…”
Wanting to say that there’s no such sophistry, and you are Cain, but Hursis didn’t give her a chance.
“Anyway, everything said in Cain’s appearance is invalid.”
Shrugging and dismissing with a smirk, Riz lost her words.
‘Why did this man become so shameless?’
But looking back, that was Hursis’s original self. She had just forgotten for a while.
“…Fine. Let’s leave it at that.”
Since there were no important promises made in the words spoken with Cain’s face, she could move on.
Apart from that, there was something important to say.
“Ishar helped me during the day.”
“I heard. The Council said that thanks to that guy moving fast, nothing dangerous happened.”
Hursis’s eyes as he spoke were full of trust. Riz realized how much he trusted Ishar once again.
“Come to think of it, I’ve received quite a lot of his help in times of crisis. Even when Her Majesty had an accident last time, Ishar’s role was really significant.”
Nodding in agreement, Hursis sighed shortly and said, as if he couldn’t help it.
“But that sly guy refuses rewards and vacations. He says he just did what was natural.”
“How about giving him something else then?”
“Something else? Like what?”
Raising an eyebrow, Hursis asked. Riz replied.
“The country.”
What the 44th heir of the fallen Voldemian Kingdom desires.
What the betrayer in the original story desires, that’s precisely it.
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…
