Chapter 41

 

“I’d like to spend more time together, but something urgent has come up. I’ll be heading in first.”

 

At Louis Sauver’s words that he would be leaving, the Duke rose from his seat.

 

“Are you leaving already?”

 

“Rene, you come with me too.”

 

When Louis Sauver tried to take me along, the Duke looked at me. His gaze seemed to ask whether I would follow.

 

But I couldn’t raise the world destruction gauge any further.

 

“Then I’ll be taking my leave now, Your Grace.”

 

I thought this worked out well and hurriedly walked toward the door, following Louis Sauver.

 

Louis Sauver left the greenhouse first, and as I was about to follow, the Duke called out to me.

 

“Lady Sauver.”

 

Then he reached his hand toward the top of my head.

 

“There’s a petal on your head.”

 

The moment the Duke removed the petal.

 

Kaisis swung his sword.

 

He had swung it at empty air, but it felt quite threatening.

 

It was as if he was giving the Duke a warning.

 

“I apologize. A bee was about to land there.”

 

Kaisis answered nonchalantly and sheathed his sword again.

 

The Duke’s eyes narrowed as he watched Kaisis’s behavior.

 

I hurriedly left the scene, worried that the Duke might say something to Kaisis.

 

“Thank you, Your Grace. I’ll see you again next time.”

 

With that greeting, I was able to safely conclude the matchmaking meeting.

 

To think there would come a day when Louis Sauver would actually be helpful!

 

It was worth possessing this body for so long.

When we reached where the carriages were parked, Louis Sauver’s carriage and the one I had arrived in were standing side by side.

 

When I glanced back, Kaisis was following from a distance.

 

It seemed I could have a conversation with Louis Sauver before Kaisis arrived.

 

Since Louis Sauver got into his carriage first, I followed and climbed in too.

 

Then Louis Sauver looked surprised and soon avoided my eyes again.

 

What? Hadn’t he come here to talk to me?

 

“Louis Sauver, don’t you still have anything to tell me?”

 

“…It’s almost done. Just wait a little longer.”

 

I couldn’t hide my disappointment and let out a sigh.

 

“Then why did you come here today? No, more than that, how did you even know to come?”

 

“Your escort knight sent a letter. Saying you were going on a matchmaking meeting with the Duke.”

 

“Kai did?”

 

“Yes. I don’t know why, but the letter had just that one line written in it. But the Duke is the male lead, right? So there’s no way you would voluntarily go on a matchmaking meeting with the Duke. I figured you must have been forced into it.”

 

It was impressive deductive reasoning.

 

“Plus, I thought this matchmaking meeting would raise that world destruction thing again. I figured if I came to meet the Duke too, maybe that world thing would rise a little less.”

 

I opened the system window to check the world destruction gauge.

 

[38% until world destruction]

 

Indeed, the gauge hadn’t risen at all since Louis Sauver arrived.

 

At least Louis Sauver seemed to be paying attention to our goal.

 

“The work you’re doing now, is it dangerous?”

 

Louis Sauver didn’t answer.

 

“I need to know what you’re doing so I can decide whether to help or not.”

 

But Louis Sauver remained silent to this question as well.

 

At this point, I felt a sharp irritation rising.

 

“Fine. I don’t know what you’re doing, but I’ll wait.”

 

Then Louis Sauver’s expression brightened.

 

“But since you won’t tell me anything, I won’t talk to you anymore either. Not until you come to me first.”

 

After saying that sharply, I got out of the carriage.

 

Bang-.

 

The sound of the carriage door closing echoed loudly.

 

The last expression I saw on Louis Sauver’s face was dejected.

 

* * *

 

After returning home, I went straight to my room.

 

Seeing me enter my room, Kaisis was about to return to his own room as usual.

 

I called out to stop him.

 

“Kaisis, I have something to say.”

 

Then Kaisis nodded as if he knew what I was going to say and entered my room.

 

After confirming there was no one in the hallway, I locked the door and turned around.

 

“You sent a letter to Beatrice?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“How?”

 

“I said it was a letter from you.”

 

Looking at Kaisis boldly admitting to impersonation, I let out a hollow laugh in disbelief.

 

“No, why did you tell Beatrice about my matchmaking meeting?”

 

Kaisis, who had been looking straight into my eyes and speaking boldly until now, suddenly avoided my gaze.

 

“…Because I didn’t like it.”

 

“What? What didn’t you like?”

 

Since I couldn’t hear Kaisis’s voice well, I moved closer, and Kaisis grabbed my shoulders and looked straight into my eyes as he spoke.

 

“I didn’t like that my master was going on a matchmaking meeting.”

 

Uh…

 

I trembled involuntarily at Kaisis’s honest answer, but then I became curious.

 

“Why didn’t you like that?”

 

“Because my master belongs to me.”

 

“What? Why do I belong to Kaisis?”

 

Then Kaisis straightened his shoulders and spoke boldly again.

 

“Since I belong to my master too, isn’t it fair that my master also belongs to me?”

 

At his ridiculous words, I burst out laughing despite myself.

 

Somehow, when he said those words, Kaisis seemed almost innocent.

 

As I was laughing so hard that tears came to my eyes, I could feel Kaisis staring at me intently.

 

Feeling like his gaze would bore a hole through my face, I awkwardly stepped back.

 

“Why, why are you staring?”

 

“Just because.”

 

Feeling like my face was heating up somehow, I threw open the window wide.

 

“How was the matchmaking meeting?”

 

Then Kaisis, who had approached beside me, asked.

 

“What do you mean how was it? It was just a matchmaking meeting.”

 

“Didn’t you feel your heart flutter for the Duke, or want to promise a future with him?”

 

“Come on, even though the Duke is kind, I told you I don’t have feelings for him. And the Duke likes Beatrice.”

 

Kaisis’s eyes narrowed.

 

As if he didn’t believe my words, or as if he was trying to gauge something.

 

Kaisis stared at me like that for a while, then turned away.

 

“I should return to my room now. Call me again if you need me.”

 

Huh? He’s ending the conversation like this?

 

I felt a strange sense of disappointment at the abruptly ended conversation and watched Kaisis close the door and leave.

 

* * *

 

Kaisis, who had returned to his room, leaned his back against the door and thought.

 

Why had he wanted to drag Rene away immediately when Rene was having a meeting with the Duke?

 

Kaisis’s emotions had been strange lately, too strange to think it was simply because Rene resembled that woman.

 

Certainly, at first, he had tried to stay by Rene’s side to find the differences between Rene and that woman.

 

Once he resolved the strange phenomenon of the two people constantly overlapping in his vision, it would be easier to deal with Rene.

 

But it was strange.

 

The more he stayed with Rene, the more confused he became.

 

The way she required attention like a child, the way she thought so much with that small head of hers.

 

“Kaisis, come quickly!”

 

“Brother, come quickly!”

 

When they went for walks and he followed behind, she would always stop after a few steps to check if he was following properly.

 

And the way she looked at him not as an evil dragon, but as ‘Kaisis’ himself.

 

That’s why his gaze lingered on Rene even longer.

 

Because she resembled that woman, because he hoped she wouldn’t resemble that woman.

 

Kaisis, who had been trying to find differences between that woman and Rene, suddenly realized something strange.

 

At some point, he had been looking for characteristics that only Rene possessed.

 

That woman would cry when things were difficult, but Rene grits her teeth and endures alone somehow.

 

That woman had family members to support her, but Rene has no one to lean on.

 

Rene is a stronger person than I thought.

 

Rene smells flowers when she’s not feeling well.

 

Rene is, Rene is, Rene is….

 

Kaisis gradually began to accept his present emotions more than his past memories.

 

And the moment he realized this fact, two emotions coexisted in Kaisis’s heart.

 

The fear that he might fall in love with someone and lose them again.

 

But despite that, the desire to stay by her side.

 

Kaisis looked out the window with complicated eyes.

Crash—!

 

Sharp shattering sounds continuously echoed from the First Princess’s Palace.
