Edgar took out the ring. The ring case was so polished from being carried around for so long that it practically gleamed with luster.

After choosing his words for a moment, Edgar began his confession in a tone that was calm rather than desperate.

“I thought so hard about what beautiful words I should use to make you fall for me. But no matter how many times I thought about it, I really wanted to tell you this story.”

The sun had moved down a bit from overhead, so it wasn’t the scorching hot time when sunlight seemed to melt everything.

His voice was calm and his tone was plain, but Edgar’s gaze looking up at me was as hot as the sun at noon on the hottest summer day.

“No matter how much I think about it, I have no dreams. I don’t particularly like anything, and there’s nothing I want to do or achieve. So sometimes I’m envious of you and Antonio to the point of tears. I’ve only been finding work I can do, work I have to do, and compromising. But this is about careers. Not all dreams need to be connected to jobs.”

“….”

“Lilliana. Looking back, you were always my dream.”

“Me?”

“When we hadn’t even known each other for a month, after seeing you rush at the maids who were cursing me, I wanted to sit next to you at every meal. I teased and played pranks on you, but actually I wanted to become closer to you than anyone else. When we ran around the palace together, I hoped your stamina would get better so we could play together all day long.”

Childhood memories I could barely remember flowed out one by one from Edgar’s mouth.

Even though he was just a six or seven-year-old child, the feelings he held in his small heart were as deep and pure as they are now.

“When I got a little older, I hoped you wouldn’t leave for Trowance and would continue living with me in the Imperial Palace. Every time you ignored my letters after you left, I always desperately wished for it. I wished that my feelings for you would all weather away so I wouldn’t have to miss someone who wasn’t in the Empire anymore.”

Edgar’s love that continued from age six to twenty-three had become impossibly hot with the weight of time added to it.

“I came to a country I’d never been to just with the thought of wanting to be close to you, but I’ve never regretted it even once. I’ve never thought it was hard either. If I had stayed in the Empire, that would have been harder, and if I couldn’t be by your side, it would have remained a lifelong regret.”

Edgar continued his confession.

“I don’t have anything I want to do, and I don’t know what talents I have, but I’m certain of this one thing. I love you terribly. Because I love you, I want to be by your side and live a daily life of laughing and chatting together. My only dream is to spend my whole life with you and for both of us to be happy. Lilliana. I want to achieve my dream with you.”

Please help me achieve my dream.

The ring sparkled as it reflected the sunlight. The tears hanging around my eyes stung because of the sunlight.

The green eyes that I had missed countless times, that sometimes made my heart burn hot just by meeting them, were looking at me with desperate longing.

A very long time ago, on a day when rain was pouring down. As I ran away from the Imperial Palace, I had a premonition that I would miss those eyes for the rest of my life.

That same premonition pierced my heart at this moment.

That if I didn’t accept the ring and pledge eternity, I would regret it for the rest of my life.

I quickly held out my hand. The large hand putting the ring on my left ring finger was trembling finely.

The ring fit my finger perfectly. As soon as the ring was deeply placed, I grabbed Edgar’s hand. His thick-jointed fingers intertwined with mine.

As soon as Edgar stood up, I buried myself in his large embrace. His rapid heartbeat was transmitted to me. Edgar’s heart must be swelling and about to burst just like mine.

I stood on my tiptoes and kissed my prospective husband who would stay by my side for a longer time than all the days we’d spent together so far.

When we had our first kiss, there was a sweet floral scent, and now that I’ve accepted his proposal, I can feel the hot air created by sunlight.

I became so curious about what scent there would be when we pledge our souls.

On the way back, we stopped by the temple and made a reservation for the wedding ceremony first.

After I accepted his proposal, Edgar had a noticeably bright face.

As he promised me, he was preparing the wedding alone, and he was grinning the whole time as if he wasn’t even tired.

Now I just had to reveal the wedding and pregnancy at my brother’s birthday party scheduled for this weekend.

“I’m worried about my eldest sister and youngest sister. If they hit you, don’t take it and dodge. Got it?”

“I won’t die from getting hit a little. Don’t worry.”

“Don’t underestimate my sisters. You know. My eldest sister is a professional swordsman and my youngest sister is our family’s troublemaker.”

Still, wouldn’t my eldest and youngest brothers-in-law stop those two?

‘There are nieces and nephews there, surely they wouldn’t beat him to death at that gathering?’

Not knowing what twist was waiting for us, I welcomed the weekend with a complacent heart.

* * *

“Youngest aunt. Who is it? Just tell me. I’ll teach them a lesson.”

Perhaps because we grew up together like siblings, Eddie was particularly attached to me, and as days went by he resembled my eldest brother-in-law more and more, sometimes saying strange things like this.

“Aunt is fine though?”

“Do you think I can’t tell that much of a lie just because I’m only 12? If you’re going to lie, look in the mirror first.”

Who would see Eddie as 12 years old? Just from his words, I’d believe it if someone said he was 22.

“Our youngest sister-in-law, it’s been a while since we saw you but why are you so thin? Doesn’t Edgar buy you delicious food? Is work hard?”

“Are you sick somewhere? You haven’t started a new project yet. I should tell your brother to feed you some healthy food.”

The good thing about a large family is that there are many opportunities to be comforted when you have difficult times.

The downside is that even if everyone just throws in one comment each, it becomes enough words to complete a book.

“Hey youngest. Why do you look like that?”

“Lilliana. Where are you sick? If there’s anything bad happening, feel free to tell us.”

“Youngest aunt. You know what my ability is, right? It would be better to just speak honestly before I use my power.”

“Anyone would think youngest aunt was suffering from awakening fever instead of my brother.”

When even my second sister’s family added their comments, I felt dizzy.

My youngest sister’s couple was still left but I was already exhausted. When I collapsed on the sofa with all my energy drained, Edgar stepped forward.

“When Lady Emilia arrives, we have something to tell everyone.”

“The proposal was successful! Congratulations, Edgar!”

“How does my second brother-in-law know that?”

“Actually, I consulted with Leo and Francois about it.”

My brother Andrea, who was sitting in the single-seat sofa, raised one eyebrow.

Since I had never properly explained the marriage issue, my brother seemed to have been secretly worried.

Just then, my second sister arrived.

She seemed to be late because she bought sweets from a famous bakery for the nieces and nephews.

‘The smell….’

Even though it should have been packaged in a box, I could smell cinnamon. It was because my nose had become overly sensitive along with morning sickness.

I started feeling nauseous. I didn’t want to show myself dry heaving before telling my family about the pregnancy, so I grabbed my knees and endured it.

“Are you okay? If it’s hard, go inside and rest for a while.”

When my complexion turned pale, Edgar whispered in a small voice beside me.

Elisa was too young so she left her with the neighbor’s grandmother.

The nieces and nephews who had been excited to see their cousin dropped their eyebrows in disappointment.

“No. I can still endure it.”

As we continued whispering with serious faces, my second sister, whose eyes briefly met ours, tilted her head.

Then Eddie opened the box he received from my second sister and belatedly asked for permission.

“Second aunt. Can I eat this now?”

“You have to eat dinner, so only eat two.”

The moment the cinnamon scent spread through the living room.

“Ugh! Urgh!”

I couldn’t hold back the dry heaving anymore.

When I covered my mouth, nine adults, three kids, and Edgar – a total of thirteen pairs of eyes focused on me.

“Do we have medicine at home?”

My eldest brother-in-law was startled and looked for medicine.

“…Don’t tell me.”

My quick-witted second sister looked back and forth between me and Edgar with a suspicious face and began to speak.

“It’s not that, right?”

“Uh, uh, actually, well, that… it is.”

After hearing my answer, my eldest sister quietly got up, went to her room, and came back with a sword.

“You can give it to me.”

My second brother-in-law approached my eldest sister and received the sword. And then.

“Francois. I’ll take responsibility and heal him, so beat Edgar half to death.”

As soon as my youngest sister’s permission was given, sinister magic power crackled from my youngest brother-in-law’s fingertips.
