Feeling uneasy at his low, subtle voice, Liz reluctantly gave permission, desperately praying that it would be a question she could answer.
“……Ask.”
“Will you marry?”
(This is a time delimiter.)
As soon as she returned from her outing, Mirabel rushed to her lady’s room.
She was on her way from the apothecary on an errand for Lady Berium. But as luck would have it, her mistress’s favorite lip product was sold out.
Knowing she would get an earful if she returned emptyhanded, she had Jonathan hasten to a distant market before returning.
Mirabel was impatient all the way back.
‘What if the lady has been looking for me a lot?’
As she leaped up the stairs two at a time, she came to a sudden halt upon encountering an unwelcome figure coming down.
“Kain, why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to attend to Miss Lilia?”
“I have a brief word to say to Miss Liz.”
Kain passed Mirabel with his characteristic cheerful face, giving her the deference of an elder, and went downstairs.
Watching his back, Mirabel felt uneasy.
“What is he trying to say? All of a sudden?”
Mirabel knew that her lady doted on Kain. Naturally. It was so obvious that anyone with eyes could see it. But did the mistress not have eyes?
There should be no trouble. Her lady had just made up her mind to marry, and this guy shouldn’t shake her again.
Thus, Mirabel’s duties increased by one. Attending to her lady, being unaware of her lady’s scar.
And blocking Kain.
Kain, who had passed Mirabel and gone downstairs, should have stopped by Lilia’s room to ask if she needed anything, but he was in no mood to do so.
He went straight into his quarters. And locked the door.
A room mercilessly exposed to the late summer sun’s ruthless rays, without even a curtain.
He approached the open window, leaned on the sill, and stared out without blinking.
The justsetting sun was slowly descending towards the treetops, birds were flying in groups through the apricotcolored sky.
A cool breeze from the forest was gently rustling the plane tree branches stretched over one side of the garden. It was a peaceful atmosphere at a time in the afternoon when the heat had abated. But…….
Kain’s consciousness did not contain any of those things.
His eyes were directed at Liz in his memory, and in his ears, the last conversation with Liz was replaying.
“Will you marry?”
“Of course.”
‘Why? All of a sudden?’
‘Why? I have to get married. Considering my age, too.’
Marriage… Age…
Kain’s lips, quietly repeating Liz’s words, twisted slightly.
Once, age was nothing more than a number. Rather than living with someone you didn’t want, you’d live a lifetime as a bachelor.
Why has the lady, who was so obsessed with him, suddenly changed her mind?
At first, he thought it might be a trick to attract his attention.
Surely there’s no better way to attract attention than a sudden change in attitude.
But, it doesn’t seem like it.
It seems like her mind has really changed.
Why? What made her break off ten years of persistent interest? And without a single regret at once?
Beyond the thicket, as the sun hid half of its shape and a pale orange band adorned the edge of the western sky, Kain leaned against the window and thought hard. But the answer did not come easily.
Some thoughts that came to mind were so absurd that they even brought a sneer. In the end, he gave up finding the answer.
Instead, he quietly placed his hand over his left chest, facing the evening sunset.
‘Miss Liz was in a carriage accident.’
The feeling of his heart sinking when he heard the news seemed to still linger there.
That unfamiliar sensation, that day, sparked a strange question.
Perhaps Liz Berium is not as frustrating an existence as he thought.
He wanted to unravel that question, but Liz hardly gave him a chance.
Since regaining consciousness, she has been pushing him away. And quite desperately.
But well, let her.
If she pushes and he doesn’t move, that’s it.
He had no intention of letting Liz go until he unraveled the question.
Suddenly, his furrowed brow relaxed, and a faint smile spread across his lips.
It was a smile filled with tranquility, coming from finally determining the position he should take.
Kain turned from the darkened window and walked toward the door.
The setting sun made his shadow loom even longer and larger, casting darkness.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
