Chapter 183
* * *
“Lyos.”
Yes, Dana.
“Keep your head down when you walk around. You’re too cute.”
Don’t treat me like a child, sister.
“Lyos, I love you.”
I love you too, Dana.
“Disgusting! Please stop it now!”
Disgusting? Me?
What’s truly disgusting is you. Your tongue that says you love another man.
Lumiere, you say you love such a pathetic guy?
“I’m sorry, but don’t act like a child. Dana hates immature men.”
Lumiere Windsor.
“If you continue to harbor such impious thoughts, God might punish you.”
Lumiere Roland.
“Don’t you really know that Your Majesty’s love is tormenting Dana?”
Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere, Lumiere.
“Stop tormenting Dana.”
Lyos loved Dana.
And as much as he loved Dana, he hated her, and as deep as that hatred was, he despised Lumiere.
That’s why he was so happy right now. He truly couldn’t help but be happy…
“Your Majesty?”
Then came another woman’s voice. Lyos slowly turned his head.
“Your Majesty.”
What entered his vision was another woman.
A different woman, not the man and woman who filled his mind completely.
Pink hair, rabbit-like eyes…
“Alice.”
Lumiere’s younger sister.
Then Alice glared at him with a pout.
“Your Majesty. Are you listening to me?”
Words? What words?
Ah, come to think of it, they were having tea time together.
“Of course. We were talking about your due date.”
That’s right.
Alice was heavily pregnant, and the birth was imminent.
Lyos smiled as he looked at her greatly swollen belly.
“If you need anything, just tell me, Alice. I’ll get you whatever it is.”
“Kyaa. Really?”
“Of course. You’re giving birth to an imperial grandchild, what couldn’t I do for you.”
Though it’s not my son.
‘Will he become my younger brother?’
His wife was pregnant with his own younger brother.
That sentence was so absurd that he laughed. Then Alice said shyly.
“Your Majesty, I feel good seeing you smile again lately.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I was really worried when Your Majesty didn’t smile for a while… but recently you seem to be smiling a lot more.”
“Is that so.”
Lyos answered casually while glancing sideways.
The gap of the tightly closed wardrobe. The end of a shirt that couldn’t be hidden was sticking out.
His father, Wilhelm, was hiding inside there.
He had been enjoying a secret meeting with Alice when he heard news of his visit and hurriedly hid in the wardrobe.
Even though he knew everything, Lyos pretended not to know and stood up from his seat.
“Alice.”
“Yes?”
“My father is looking forward to his grandchildren. Did you know?”
He slowly walked toward the wardrobe. With casual steps, as if taking a stroll around the room.
“He’s hoping the grandchildren will definitely be born with blonde hair.”
“I-is that so…?”
“Yes. The golden hair of the Grants Family is proof of receiving Sun God Ramun’s blessing.”
“B-but I have pink hair, and Your Highness has black hair, right?”
“You can’t think of it in terms of human laws.”
Step, step, step.
“Sun God’s Blessing leads to golden hair.”
The closer he got to the wardrobe, the whiter Alice’s hands became. Because she was gripping her dress hem with all her strength.
The person inside the wardrobe was probably even more nervous.
“That’s why Father hated me so much. Because I was born with black hair.”
“W-was that so?”
“Yes. Because of that, there were even rumors that Sun God’s Blessing was cut off in my generation.”
He spoke casually and reached out his hand.
Just before his fingertips touched the shirt hem sticking out through the wardrobe door gap.
“Y-Your Majesty!”
Finally unable to endure it, Alice jumped up from her seat. She hurriedly approached and grabbed his arm.
“L-let’s go for a walk.”
“A walk? Suddenly?”
“I-I feel stuffy. The baby, the baby wants to get some fresh air outside!”
What a simple excuse. Lyos held back the sneer that was about to burst out.
Lyos knew everything.
That Alice was pregnant with his father’s child. And that they were still continuing their secret meetings.
However, Lyos had never once let on that he knew. It was simply more enjoyable to toy with them like this.
Even now, look.
How amusing it was to see his father hiding in the wardrobe like a little mouse, trembling.
‘Just like when I used to hide in the wardrobe to avoid Father when I was young.’
He was extremely pleased with this reversed position.
Alice was right. He had regained the laughter he had once lost. His laughter had increased. It couldn’t be helped.
His shadows had informed him.
That she had returned.
Even bearing the name ‘Roland’ alone.
At that thought, he bit the inside of his mouth to keep from bursting into laughter.
Lyos wanted to see Lumiere’s face. And he wanted to ask him.
So, faithful Lumiere, how do you feel? Why don’t you try acting noble again this time? Just like when you blamed me while invoking God in front of me.
It was only regrettable that he couldn’t watch that scene from the sidelines.
Because Lyos had not been granted permission to enter the Sanctuary.
He had even received the information that Dana had awakened very late. He hadn’t even known that Dana had returned to This World.
Because Viego Windsor had hidden it.
“Your Highness, what are you thinking about?”
Then, Alice spoke to him.
Though she pretended to be calm, she was intensely watching his expression. Her eyes showed concern that he might have discovered her secret meetings with his father.
So Lyos answered her in an affectionate voice.
“I was thinking about what to name our child.”
And he added with a grin.
“If a son is born, how about Wilhelm, after my father’s name.”
“Y-yes?”
Alice’s face turned pale in an instant. Lyos spoke seriously.
“It’s common to follow an ancestor’s name, isn’t it?”
“Th-that’s true.”
Lyos pulled Alice’s shoulder toward him. He pressed his lips to her round forehead.
“Let’s think about the name slowly.”
“Y-yes.”
“I love you, Alice.”
“I… love you too.”
Lyos hummed a tune.
Viego Windsor was hiding her from him, but well. Did he really believe he could hide her forever?
However, Lyos decided to show mercy for the time being. Solely for Lumiere’s romance.
That bastard’s face twisted with guilt, just imagining it…
‘It’ll be fantastic.’
A thrill washed over him.
That’s why he could endure it.
Though he missed Dana, it was fine.
Patience was what he did best.
Anyway, Dana would have no choice but to return to his side.
“Dana, if you’re not by my side, I’ll corrupt this entire land…”
Those words back then were sincere.
Not a single moment had ever been insincere.
