#110

 

The final day of the proposal Fillen had made to Leilah had arrived.

 

Fillen had told Leilah that if she didn’t come to him by today, he would report her to the estate guards, but he had no intention of actually doing so.

 

Leilah would come anyway. Fillen didn’t doubt it for a moment.

 

So Fillen gave orders to his butler.

 

“As soon as Leilah arrives, we’ll return to the domain, so prepare accordingly.”

 

“Understood.”

 

“And report to me immediately when Leilah arrives.”

 

After the butler left to carry out his orders, Fillen sat on the sofa and reviewed some documents.

 

They were mage contract documents. Even though Sisly’s child had been stillborn, she had given birth, so he was planning to hire the mage he had postponed employing.

 

“It’s more expensive than I thought.”

 

He had heard that mages’ prices increased as winter approached, but he hadn’t expected them to rise this much.

 

Should he wait a bit and hire a mage in spring instead?

 

Winter was coming soon anyway, and there was no farming to be done in winter.

 

That seemed like a reasonable option as he pondered it.

 

“Your Grace.”

 

The butler who had left earlier returned. Fillen’s face brightened as he put down the documents and stood up.

 

“Has Leilah come?”

 

“That’s not it, Your Grace. There’s been contact from the duchy mansion in the domain.”

 

Not Leilah, but the domain.

 

Deflated, Fillen sat back down.

 

“Bring it here.”

 

With Fillen’s permission, the butler brought the magical communication device.

 

When the butler touched the communication device he had placed on the table, it emitted a blue light and someone’s face appeared.

 

[Fil!]

 

It was Sisly. Fillen gestured for the butler to leave, then asked Sisly.

 

“Have you had lunch?”

 

[Yes, I have. Have you eaten lunch, Fil?]

 

“Not yet.”

 

[It’s already 2 PM and you haven’t eaten yet?]

 

Had time already passed that much?

 

But Leilah still hadn’t come.

 

There were still more than 10 hours left in the day, but he began to worry about what would happen if Leilah didn’t come.

 

‘That can’t be.’

 

Leilah was someone who hated seeing others suffer because of her more than anyone.

 

If she didn’t come, not only she but the Emperor would also be harmed, so she would definitely come.

 

Even though he thought there was no need to worry, he couldn’t shake the anxiety that kept rising.

 

Fillen furrowed his brow deeply and stroked his chin.

 

[You look troubled, Fil. Is something wrong?]

 

“…No, nothing.”

 

Fillen let out a deep breath and composed his expression.

 

He didn’t want to show Sisly or anyone else that he was having such thoughts.

 

“So what’s the matter?”

 

[Do I need to have something wrong to contact you?]

 

“Of course not.”

 

Even though the child had been stillborn, Sisly was the woman who had carried his first child.

 

Moreover, Fillen continued to carry guilt in his heart for not being able to protect his first child.

 

So he should treat Sisly well for the time being.

 

Until this guilt weighing on his heart became lighter.

 

[So I was…]

 

With that resolve, Fillen indulged Sisly’s complaints, but gradually his patience began to show its limits.

 

It was because his heart grew more anxious as time passed.

 

Why hadn’t Leilah come yet?

 

Had she really decided to fight against him?

 

Only thoughts of Leilah filled his mind. He couldn’t hear a word of what Sisly was saying.

 

[…what do you think I just said?]

 

“…”

 

[Fil? Fillen? Your Grace.]

 

Having missed his timing, he was caught not paying attention to what Sisly was saying.

 

“Sorry. What did you say?”

 

[Are you sure nothing’s really wrong?]

 

Just as Fillen was about to firmly answer that nothing was wrong, the butler entered again and reported.

 

“Your Grace, Miss Leilah has arrived.”

 

Finally!

 

Color returned to Fillen’s face. Fillen stood up as if he might leap from his seat.

 

“Something urgent has come up. I’ll contact you later.”

 

[Wait, Fil…]

 

Fillen ignored Sisly’s words and cut off the communication.

 

* * *

 

The light surrounding the blue magical communication device disappeared. Fillen’s handsome face that had been visible just moments ago was no longer there.

 

“Fil, Fil!”

 

Sisly called Fillen’s name desperately in her panic, but there was no answer from the communication device that had already been disconnected.

 

“Ha.”

 

Sisly let out an empty laugh and clenched her fists tightly.

 

Fillen seemed to think Sisly hadn’t heard, but she had heard it clearly.

 

The butler’s report that Leilah had come!

 

At that moment, Fillen’s face had brightened as if he’d heard news of a lover he’d been waiting for.

 

While he had remained expressionless throughout their entire conversation!

 

‘Does he still have lingering feelings for that woman?’

 

Why? That woman had killed the child he had been so looking forward to, so why!

 

“The plan has gone awry.”

 

According to the plan, after losing the child, an enraged Fillen would deal with Leilah.

 

When he returned, she would warmly comfort such a Fillen and secure the position of Duchess Williot.

 

But unfortunately, Leilah’s departure as part of the diplomatic envoy had complicated things.

 

Still, she had believed without doubt that Fillen would deal with Leilah, but who knew he would act like this.

 

“This won’t do.”

 

Sisly bit her nails and paced around the room anxiously.

 

At this rate, far from becoming Duchess Williot, she might even be kicked out of the duchy.

 

How could she just be kicked out after coming this far?

 

‘That can’t happen.’

 

She would definitely seize it.

 

To do that…

 

“I’ll have to kill her completely.”

 

So she could never interfere with her again.

 

Sisly’s blue eyes flashed dangerously.

 

* * *

 

At first, I had planned to take Sara to the Williot Estate.

 

But taking Sara, who had just returned to the capital, all the way to the Williot Estate again would be too much of a burden on her body.

 

More than anything, I didn’t want to take Sara to such a place when I didn’t know what might happen.

 

If I got caught by the estate guards, Sara might face disadvantages too, so I decided to leave Sara in the capital.

 

Sara said she would follow me, but I used my status to keep Sara in the capital.

 

I returned the carriage Kalian had lent me and rented a public carriage to head to the Williot Duchy.

 

Since it was a public carriage, the ride wasn’t very comfortable.

 

Every time the wheels caught on something and jolted, my bottom hurt a little.

 

Throughout the journey to the duchy, I organized the information I currently knew in my head.

 

‘What Sisly drank was the abortion drug that Countess Tebesa gave her.’

 

I needed to find out why Sisly had taken the drug that she was told to throw away before leaving the manor.

 

And how the person who gave that drug ended up being Misa.

 

Misa was definitely not the culprit!

 

The carriage that had been moving busily for a while came to a stop. We had arrived at the Williot Duchy.

 

Through the window, I could see the magnificent manor of the Williot Duchy.

 

I never thought I would come back here with my own feet.

 

A soldier guarding the main gate approached and personally opened the carriage door for me.

 

I didn’t remember his name, but he was a soldier I had met a few times.

 

“Miss!”

 

The soldier also recognized me and greeted me politely with a very moved expression.

 

Another soldier also greeted me, then hurriedly entered the manor.

 

He must be going to report to Fillen.

 

My mouth went dry at the fact that I would see Fillen soon. I gripped the spirit stone necklace tightly and looked up at the Williot Duchy.

 

Meanwhile, the coachman who had taken my luggage out of the luggage compartment asked.

 

“What should I do with the luggage, Miss?”

 

“This way.”

 

The soldier answered for me and took the luggage.

 

I stopped him from trying to pay the carriage fare.

 

“I’ll pay the fare.”

 

“No, Miss. Of course we should…”

 

“It’s not a matter of course. It’s my business.”

 

I said curtly.

 

“And don’t call me Miss anymore.”

 

I also pointed out the wrong part.

 

“You must have heard the rumors, but I officially received a baron title from His Majesty the Emperor. From now on, call me Baron Aster.”

 

“I apologize, Baron. The word Miss is stuck in my mouth… I’ll be careful from now on.”

 

“It’s fine as long as you know now.”

 

I hadn’t planned to scold him severely anyway, so I readily accepted his apology and was about to pay the carriage fare when.

 

“Leilah.”

 

Fillen appeared. I tensed up and turned to look at him.

 

Fillen approached me with a bright smile, looking very pleased about something. As the distance closed, my tension grew.

 

“You’re late.”

 

“I was a bit late because I had to organize various things.”

 

“You made sure to organize everything properly before coming, right?”

 

“Yes.”

 

It seemed like the organizing he was thinking of and the organizing I was thinking of were different, but I didn’t bother to voice it.

 

“Good.”

 

Fillen seemed quite satisfied with my answer and nodded with a pleased smile.

 

“Is this your luggage bag?”

 

Fillen pointed to the luggage bag the soldier was holding and asked.

 

When I nodded, Fillen tilted his head.

 

“You have less luggage than I expected. Is it because you don’t have much?”

 

He muttered as if talking to himself, but it pierced my ears clearly.

 

Fillen instructed the soldier.

 

“Load it in the carriage.”

 

“Yes, Your Grace.”

 

Carriage?

 

“Wait a moment.”

 

I stopped the soldier who was about to leave immediately and asked Fillen.

 

“By carriage, do you mean the carriage that Your Grace and I will ride together when going to the Williot Estate?”

 

“So what?”

 

Fillen asked back as if wondering what the problem was.

 

Ha. Together.

 

It takes four days from here to the Williot Estate, and I have to ride in a carriage with Fillen during that time?

 

“I’ll take a separate carriage.”

 

Fillen’s eyebrows rose in displeasure.

 

“You don’t want to ride in the same carriage as me?”

 

“Yes.”

 

It was a fact everyone already knew anyway, so there was no need to hide it.

 

When I answered honestly, he frowned deeply.

 

“You…”

 

Fillen was about to say something but stopped and looked around.

 

Numerous people were watching me and Fillen. It wasn’t just people from the duchy. There were passersby too.

 

In such a situation, if he said the wrong thing, our story would be in the evening newspaper immediately.

 

“…Do whatever you want!”

 

Fillen must have realized this point too, as he shouted briefly and then entered the manor.

 

The soldiers didn’t know what to do about Fillen’s behavior, but I didn’t care at all and turned to the coachman.

 

“Could you possibly go to the Williot Estate?”

 

“It’s possible, but it would be uncomfortable.”

 

“That’s fine.”

 

Taking a public carriage for a long distance was definitely uncomfortable, but it was better than riding in the same carriage as Fillen.

 

“Then please take me to the Williot Estate.”

 

I took the luggage bag from the soldier and loaded it back into the carriage.
