**Chapter 16

3 – Saving Her Husband**

......***......

'After you took Laria as your daughter-in-law, you have put out an urgent fire.'

The Duke of Icard, Kallaudin Aiburn Icard, was deep in thought and rolled up his cigarette.

Losing his beloved wife in his early twenties, he is now a handsome man in his mid-thirties.

"It's too early to face the Duke of Orlando head on."

Duke Orlando was openly wary of him. However, it was time for him to be careful since he was not yet strong enough.

'If you want to grow, you step on them ...'

He makes Evan marry Laria as soon as she becomes an orphan who can go anywhere. So, he could escape the suspicion that he would take over the Imperial Family. Of course, in order to obtain the imperial family, Elaine had to be in his hands.

As long as Laria followed the deadline, no one knew and died at the right time.

While Laria remains Evan's wife, she can build up her powers, secretly remove her political opponents, and make Elaine Evan's second wife.

From what she heard, Laria seemed to be in time for her death.

She doesn't want to be arrested, but she often sees her vomiting blood quite often, and Lisa, whom she's assigned supervision of, also reports symptoms of Keratinosis.

"When I first met my father, I thought I wanted to get along well."

However, every time Laria vomited blood, she suddenly felt strange. Of course, he knew that, but every time the little thing quietly wiped the blood from his mouth with a lonely look, he felt somewhat sad.

It was sad to see him vomit blood with his frail body and leave his seat when he started coughing at the racetrack, saying he would not disturb the duke.

He sighed and looked at the corner of his desk.

He could never say that he drew well, but he felt strange when he saw the painting of three people by Laria.

'It hasn't been long, but I want us closer!'

He took her, knew she was going to die, but he didn't know why she liked him so much.

He is smart and cheerful enough to recognize his sense of humor. He made a joke for the first time since Matilda died.

It was heartbreaking to see Laria laughing at her joke.

He must have been a much better kid than expected, but he couldn't trust him easily yet, so he sent him out with the guard today. He was worried because he won so much money from the race.

It never hurts to be vigilant.

He took her to the castle to die secretly with his own money.

It was a strange mixture of vigilance and compassion towards Laria that complicated his mind.

"Dad!"

He could hear a knock outside the office, as if reading his mind.

"It's Laria." It was the bright voice of Laria.

He said he was going downtown, but it looked like he was coming back sooner than he thought.

He rubs cigarettes.

"Are you busy?"

"No."

When I answered briefly, the door opened carefully, and Laria entered.

"If you're not busy, will you have tea with me?"

"All right."

He arranged the documents he saw and sat down at the table. Lisa, the waiter, who was clinging behind her behind Laria, brought tea and drinks.

“I bought a very famous Ganache in the city center.” Laria smiled and held out the plate Lisa gave her.

“Lisa and her bodyguards have trouble waiting in line. Doesn't that look good?”

Kallaudin ate a little Ganache with a fork without saying a word.

The sweet taste was on the tip of his tongue. Honestly, it tastes good.

He really enjoyed the sweets.

“I want to go with Evan, but he hasn't gone to the gymnasium yet. I called, but he wouldn't come. I think he will love it and will run here soon.” Laria spoke in a pouting tone and took a deep breath.

"Is that so."

"Do you go and buy this?"

“Well, I want to have tea with my family, but..”.

Laria took out something with her small hands. When he saw it, it was a book.

"What's this?"

"It's a gift, Dad."

“Laria seems to have a sweet personality.”

“…”

“This is a new book that is quite popular lately. You know, I was lucky enough to get the last book they left?”

"Where is the boy in this book?"

It's fun to use the word 'remnant'.

Laria blinked and laughed until she understood the joke.

Kallaudin was pleased with his sense of humor.

However, he could not express his admiration for too long as he suddenly covered his mouth with a handkerchief while smiling.

Seeing his actions, he coughed a few times and jumped to his feet, unable to stop the blood flowing out.

“Dad. Cough, then I will, Cough .. on the way. ” As she appeared out of nowhere, Laria staggered and also left in an instant.

Meanwhile, Ganache must have been eaten all because the dishes were clean.

...***...

Shortly after Laria left, Lisa returned alone.

She came here today to report on her daily routine as she was the servant who monitored Laria's actions.

"My little lady is walking around the city today ..." Lisa rolled her eyes and said timidly.

After Matilda died, all the employees feared being in front of the cold Kallaudin.

“She just fiddled with some dresses and accessories but ended up buying nothing for herself.”

"…Through?"

“Although he said he would have tea with Duke and said he had to buy the limited edition Ganache because he likes candy.”

"Hm."

“When we bought Ganache, he left secretly and carried an envelope with a bookstore pattern on it. That's all."

"…Exit."

Kallaudin looked at the remaining pieces of Ganache and the book, "Family Birth," on the table for a while.

When she is out of town, she wonders what she plans to make Evan and his friends buy presents for her family.

'I just want to go alone for a reason...' That's why he said he would go alone even though he was shaking like that.

He did not know that and even pushed her while asking her the reason. Even the adult girls trembled in front of him, how scared the sick little boy was.

Kallaudin felt a strange sense of guilt after a long time.

He bought me a gift and talked to me over tea.

"High nobles." Lisa changed the subject politely.

“Didn't you ask me to find a doctor to cover up the little miss's condition? Should we make an announcement? ”

In fact, she plans to find a doctor to predict the day of her death after learning of Laria's true condition.

If Lisa is an observer of her daily lifestyle, then the new doctor will act as an observer of her body.

"Yes, make an announcement."

Kallaudin's eyes were deep in thought. He scratched his chin while thinking and called out to Lisa, who had just said goodbye.

"Lisa's."

"Yes?"

"Buy everything that Laria touched."

Lisa flinched because Kallaudin's voice sounded like she was angry.

"…excuse me?"

"Isn't it a shame to see the Young Miss of the Duchy playing around as if she doesn't have the money to buy it?"

“Eh... um.. yes.”.

“And what about the reputation of the Duchy of Icard? Oh, by the way, buy some similar ones and bring them here.”
