Chapter 17's

Ever since he had gone out of town, the morning and afternoon had passed by so quickly. So, it wasn't until late at night that Laria was able to eat the Okrasia fruit, avoiding Lisa's supervision.

She slipped out of the room, ate fruit, bathed in haste, and yawned. That's when Evan came in.

"Evan?"

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and said.

"Why are you so late?"

Evan looked at me, paused for a moment, and asked with a sigh.

“...Are you waiting?”

Not exactly like that, but I did not sleep because I was secretly eating the fruit of the tree. Even though I can't say it.

I nodded with my eyes wide open.

"of course. How can I sleep alone when you don't come back?

If you're going to lie, make sure you don't look suspicious.

“Have you ever been to Knights? Have you practiced so far? All day?"

“Uhm.”

Evan unbuttoned his vest and said that without making eye contact with me.

“Don't wait for me from now on. Just go to bed. I'm gonna be late."

Really true? All right then.

“You won't be able to have breakfast with me anymore. That's what I know.”

"Then are you leaving so early in the morning?"

“Eh.”

Wow..he will win the world with swordsmanship. Since there was no war in this era, was it a matter of risking his life to train?

Anyway, I quickly went to bed and lay down.

From now on, I thought I would go to town every morning and go home late at night.

'Well, I guess I can't even see you properly.'

That was how Evan and Laria lived together for many years in the original work, but they had no choice but to avoid it.

A good sword is better than a wife. I wanted to get along well, but it was a little disappointing.

"What's this?" I fell asleep, and I heard Evan's voice after taking a bath.

I answered half asleep without even opening my eyes.

“Oh. I'm buying it from downtown to give it to you. You like sweets ..no, you eat very well. ”

It's obvious that he likes sweets, but when I say something similar, he'll say something like, "I'm not a kid," so I correct him immediately.

"So, I sent Lisa for tea, but you said no."

"….Huh uh?"

“Isn't all-day training in vain? Eat and sleep. That nice. I ate it with my father before. ”

Of course, I didn't want to stay too long, so I ate quickly and came out with a cough.

It has an incredible taste that I can feel even if I devour it. Well that's the reason why other people are queuing up to buy it and eat it.

"I bought it in line for an hour ..." Although I don't queue myself.

My body, which had not fully recovered from this illness, was a bit too limp. This body is very weak. I can't believe I'm out of town.

'Oh, I have to say there's a gift on the table.'

But I was so sleepy that I couldn't hear Evan muttering something.

I thought I might not be able to see it today, that's why I even wrote on the card so I don't need to explain it.

As expected, I could hear Evan picking up the book on the table.

[Evan, did you learn how to do swordsmanship today? I won a lot of money at the horse races. So, I went downtown today because I wanted to buy gifts for my family.

Sincerely, Laria Rose Icard. ]

Although I am not important now because my illness has not fully recovered and my background has not been found!

It was embedded with pretense, an important acting skill.

Mingling with the duke while waiting for my death, and it was also good for my sweet husband. In addition, Evan was quite close to me because we had similar memories during our childhood.

[I went to the bookstore and bought you a book because you liked it. But I bought an easy book because it seems like you are just reading a hard book. Isn't that really pretty? This is a fairy tale book, so I'll read it to you until you fall asleep. ]

I'm sure he looks very touched. Read a fairy tale until you sleep at night.

[It's not too long, but I'll read it to you later. ]

Duke Icard looked very touched earlier. He doubted what he saw when he opened his eyes, he would know it in the morning.

I lay back to sleep, and when I woke up at dawn, Evan sat at the table looking at the picture without going to bed.

Whatisit?

Evan held my cards at the table and continued to read them over and over again.

'What's wrong with him?' I blinked my eyes and thought again.

I will just try to ignore it because if I hold the Icard very tightly, I feel a little weak.

'Did anything happen in swordsmanship training today?' The only thing that changed from yesterday was the beginning of training.

I don't feel good about it. I think I should watch closely.

Maybe it's because I eat too much Ocrasia so I can see a quick fix for the disease.

When I first had this body, I kept feeling dizzy, not eating well, and my vision was spinning, but it's not like that lately. Eastern medicine must have grown tremendously.

The Imperial Medical Academy should not know of such a simple recipe.

My blood cells were also reduced markedly, and I had to force myself to cough in the bathroom a few times in case Lisa caught him. I was thinking about what happened to Evan all of a sudden, and suddenly the door opened with a knock.

“Lisa? What the hell is going on?" Lisa came with some waiters.

The expressions of determination of the servants were unusual, so I paused for a moment.

"Duke told me to buy everything that little Miss was interested in yesterday."

"Huh?"

“You should wear clothes and accessories that suit your body, so.. I'm here to measure Little Miss before I go to town and order.”.

What is this sound?

While I made a puzzled expression, the servants clung to me and began to measure my body.

"What's wrong with dad?"

“He said lifting and releasing something had a bad influence on the reputation of the Duchy of Icard.”

I breathed in my heart. I should have gone to a more expensive store and fiddled with something more expensive.

At the same time, Lisa also noticed I discovered that she was my observer. He shouldn't have known that I had been lurking somewhere so he wouldn't tell Duke Icard.

"Gosh my god."

I should've touched a big diamond necklace instead of a ruby baby necklace.

"Duke is so sweet ..."

Give it to Duke, Lisa.

"I'm moved. I will wear what suits me best and say thank you to her later.”

If I say something rude and the atmosphere becomes awkward or a joke that can't be handled, I have to take it out.

“Actually, I told her that Laria did not go to town to buy her things, but she only bought gifts from her family, and she looked very touched.”

Why did Lisa say that out loud? I might use it for something useful.

"So so…"

Of course, I did not let my guard down, but it was true that he was slightly moved. In front of the expensive gift, his frozen heart was also soft.

“It feels easy for him to spend money..”.

But could Duke open his heart to me because I acted with all my might?

He was a capable villain, so couldn't he take over the Imperial Family any other way?

Then, can't we live together forever as a close family like this?

I don't know why the Duke of Icard wants to control the Imperial Family, but if he somehow finishes what I want …

'Plan B'? Is that possible?'

I was thinking that, and Lisa said with a smile.

"Oh, little lady."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Duke will appoint a special doctor for you to check on your health, because he is worried about Miss Little's illness."

I smiled wider so as not to look suspicious at Lisa.

"Hmm? Really true?"

“Yes, I've already posted a notification. I'm looking for someone to look after little Miss. When they are hired, I am sure they will take care of my little Miss every day.”

Then, a thought came to my mind.

"I almost sold my life for some presents."

Duke Icard moves as per the original.

Maybe he paid me back this much because he didn't want my gifts owed? Because I'm going to die anyway, and she feels sorry for me, is that it?

This is similar to giving a good hand before you catch a cow that you used to keep…

"All right, thank you very much. Although why don't you choose a woman for me? I asked with a serious face.

“It is not difficult for male doctors because I am embarrassed to talk about my symptoms.”

“Then, I'll tell him about it.”

"Please, I'm afraid of being treated by a grown man, like a father."

“Oh, usually the opposite.” Lisa laughed as if she was having fun.

“Even children who are not afraid of other adults are afraid of Duke. I guess Laria isn't afraid of her unique and bright appearance?”

"She's good-looking anyway, so it's okay."

I told him everything.

Then, I smiled brightly at Lisa.
