Chapter 13

Evan's lips twitched as he saw me getting ready to go out in the morning, but he didn't say anything to me.

It was worth asking roughly where I was going, but he didn't.

"Well, he's always indifferent." He used to be a character who didn't care about what his wife did.

"Well, he's always indifferent." He used to be a character who didn't care about what his wife did.

"Evan, what are you doing today?"

Still, I'm not the kind of person who pretends not to know each other. So, I try to start a conversation while choosing clothes in the closet.

“You've been in the library all this time, and you'll be going to the library again today, right?”

No matter what question I ask, it is clear that I should stay calm so that I will not stress him out.

"I'll see the Knight Commander."

"Huh?"

"I'll go to the Military Gymnasium tomorrow."

I think I haven't been to a gymnasium since I was fifteen.

"Why?"

"Only, I like swords."

"Thank you?"

The indifferent boy looked very happy when he talked about something he 'liked'. He always shook his head when asked if he liked sweets while emptying his dessert plate every morning.

"I don't know, but shouldn't I look good to the knights?"

"What…?"

“Then dress up with decent clothes. How about this vest?” I grinned as I took out a grey vest from the closet.

Choose clothes for important events.

It's easy to be nice to Evan. I think we should start with this kind of arrangement!

He would grow to be indifferent to his wife, but at this moment, it was pleasant to be nice to her.

Evan, who clearly knows that he is not loved, is kind to her because she feels sorry for him. Although recently, Evan, who showed her that he didn't hate her, is rather funny.

I laughed to myself proudly after seeing him pick up the vest I had chosen without saying anything.

'Mur…'

And then we left the duchy after dressing appropriately with the Two knight guards and Lisa, the maid, following us to the city.

'Well, it doesn't make sense for me to go alone.'

I don't know what my next move will be, but I do know that I need to look around.

I circled around clothing stores, toy stores, stationery stores, and jewelry stores and didn't buy anything.

Lisa and the guards are getting bored.

By the time I was tired, I headed to the most famous dessert shop. Ganache is so popular that I can only buy one per person.

Nevertheless, the queue was so long that I was advised to stand for another hour.

“Even very enjoy sweet things, so let's buy this.” I said, standing at the end of the line.

Since we can only get one per person, everyone needs to get it, okay?

“Consider that you are a little lady from the Duchy of Icard. Then, we might be able to get it without lining up.”

“If you do not queue, we will be criticized by people. I don't want them gossiping about Duke.”

Lisa scratched her chin regretfully but could not argue with my noble decision.

I wonder if I've been queuing for about twenty minutes.

“Keuk, Cough!”

I coughed but quickly put my handkerchief into my mouth. Lisa, who was fully aware of my occasional bloodletting, rushed to my aid.

“Small Mona! Are you all right?"

“Cough, cough, cough! Me! Cough! Okay.." - Okay…"

I grabbed Lisa's arm and rushed to breathe.

“A-I have to go..to the bathroom...”.

"I'm going with you!"

“T-no! Uhuk! Even if I don't understand ... Cough! Please take three. ”

Lisa stomped her feet helplessly, but I glared at the guards.

"I'm going to the bathroom. You have to take it.”

“T-but..”.

“If you only get it for Evan, he won't eat it. We need the three of us to eat so we can have tea together. ”

I stopped coughing and spoke clearly in a very logical tone.

“Even if one person is missing, it will ruin our tea drinking time. So, are you still coming with me? ”

“T-but..”.

“If there was no tea time, our family, who were a little closer since we went to the horse race, would be a long way off. It's important for our relationship.”

“Um..”

“Then, we will gradually grow apart and become estranged. Evan, my husband, will be estranged.”

"Well…"

“There will be no succession, and then the title will be cut off. History of Icard will be lost.”

“T-but..”.

"Coughs! Cou-u-gh! Cough, cough, cough!”

The two guards and Lisa sighed, looking at each other.

“Cough, cough, cough! Then I'll-cough! I'll go to the bathroom and wait in front of you. Cough! See you there..” I point my finger at the front of the crowded line and get out soon.

Having completely disappeared from their sight, I quickly turned around in the alley.

Ah, I started looking around.

Now, I will be getting ready to rise in earnest, and there is a right place around here for me to take.

"A dark cafe with no proper sign and only a terrible horse statue in front of it... Oh, there he is!"

Luckily, I found it before I got lost. I opened the door without hesitation and entered.

"Who is this?"

I fell asleep at the table without customers. And an old man came up to me and asked because I was sulking.

"I came to see Sven Vestian."

I took the newspaper on the table. On the front page of the newspaper, there were two profile photos of the two, which read, 'Black Horse Syndrome – Who is the main character of this amazing plot?'

Pointing my photo at the newspaper with a plain smile, I pushed my face inside.

“Tell him it's me. Please ask him to see me soon.”

The old man immediately got up and headed for the kitchen, and politely led me in.

...***...

Evan was having a private conversation with Ludva Di Carto, the head of the Knights.

The Icardian uniform has two designs, black or blue.

However, the design of the blue uniform was so extraordinary that all knights, except Ludva would wear blue uniforms.

He is called 'Ludva in blue uniform', because he only wears blue With his brown hair and black eyes, Ludva has long been the head of the Icardian Order.

Evan took the podium while he was at the Academy. His blue uniform made him stand out among many people when he became the head knight. In doing so, no one but him was wearing the blue uniform.

"So so. You want to start sword practice tomorrow.”

Ludva's black eyes looked at Evan.

"That's right, the next duke should try hard." Evan's eyebrows frowned slightly.

She was the first in a youth fencing competition. It was natural to try, even though it was not something the Knights of the Duchy of Icard would spew out, which would later be under him, violently.

"The Duke's heir is apparently the one who killed the Duchess."

Those words made Evan become even stiffer.

“And Duke isn't too happy about that. The duke's mood was also the worst. ”

Of course, he knew everyone was whispering behind him about this, but this was the first time he had heard it in person.

“That's all because of you.”

Evan suddenly felt his breath choking. Her chest feels tight.

“You know that, don't you?”

When she thought of Matilda, her mother who died while giving birth to her, she became cold and stiff.

She heard that when Matilda was alive and became the duchess of Duchy, the atmosphere was completely different from now. It is said that he is as warm as the spring sunshine. He had heard some conversations about her.

All of the trickery turned into something great, not only Duke Icard, but everyone in the Duchy loved him dearly.

But everything has changed since his death. The atmosphere of the duke had darkened, and Duke Icard began to cling to power like a madman. However, he did not look happy. Before, he would say, 'I have no inclination to risk my life for wealth and power.'

Evan grew up ignored by the duke, hearing his servants whisper such words since childhood.

When he was sent to the Academy, it was enough to deduce what he meant by the mansion and Duke Icard.

Ludva's words followed.

"So you should never be happy."

Evan's hand stopped as he tried to patch up the grey vest without even realizing it.

"You're making Duke very lonely."

Actually, she was a little happy when Laria chose her clothes, but she suddenly felt guilty, thinking of her actions maneuvering while choosing clothes alone.

'There is nothing more than a fence to get rid of misunderstandings and train his body. From now on, please come right before breakfast and even at dinner.'

She was having breakfast with Laria.

He likes it, but…

Ever since he was born, Evan slowly nodded, thinking of the duke who would have breakfast alone every day.

"…So so."

Evan liked swordsmanship, but it wasn't enough to do it all day. Still, he had no choice but to answer her like that. No matter how high her face value was, she was only thirteen years old.

Meanwhile, no one openly said that this happened to the duke. So, Evan only thought about it himself, even though hearing it directly from others was a huge blow.

For the first time in his life, he was forced to shrink in front of someone who showed his trauma firsthand.

“I'll need your help when you grow up. That's all you have to do.” Ludva's words lowered his gaze.

"If you have humility, you don't have to look elsewhere."

Evan, who spent more time in the academy than in the duchy, could not bear to deny the statement.

It was a fact he knew very well.

When Laria first saw him, she smiled first, saying, 'Let's live well, ' so she thought the duke would be a little different than before. Obviously, her daily life with him was pleasant, though it shouldn't be.

Because of her, her father and mother had been separated forever, and even if she got along well with Laria, everyone would still blame her like Ludva.

"Prince."

Evan held the sword.

"For the rest of your life, you must not be as happy as you are, even in the shadows."
