Chapter 2's

My hurts.

The Duke of Icard has not visited me in three months since I came to the rank of a duke.

At the time, I consistently went to the greenhouse and ate Ocrasia fruit. Thanks to this, my dizziness completely disappeared, and my blood pressure dropped drastically.

But I have not fully recovered.

"Coughs!"

I coughed and spilled blood.

"Oh, blood again!"

My maid, Lisa, was surprised and quickly wiped my mouth with a handkerchief.

She's a brunette with brown eyes. He was in his early twenties, but a relatively calm and capable servant.

"I-it's okay."

I replied, touching my forehead with my hands.

“What is today's agenda? Let's start at the top of the list.

"But…"

"With fast."

Leaving the rank of duke Icard. Today I had to go to the academy with my father-in-law to pick up Evan.

This will be my first face-to-face meeting with Duke Icard after the funeral.

I brought a new handkerchief.

He walked down the stairs.

'You must not disappoint the Duke of Icard, the ultimate villain in this world…'

As the Duke of Icard was busy pursuing shady business, he remained indifferent to his son.

Not only did he send Evan to the Academy as soon as he turned six, Duke even married me to him while he was still in the academy.

'How surprised would Even feel ...? Married at the age of thirteen to a girl he had never met.'

My marriage to Evan caused a huge uproar in the aristocracy.

Outside, the reason for our marriage was simple. Our two mothers are very close to each other, so if the Duchess of Icard is still alive, she will accept me unconditionally.

Since everyone knew that Duke Icard cared so much about his wife, no one would feel suspicious and would be so sure.

Although, of course, that was just an excuse. The real reason he suddenly took me in as his son-in-law was because…

'Duke of Icard knows when I'm going to die.'

The fact that I have a fatal disease is a secret known only to my mother.

However, the Duke of Icard heard my mother, who went to Evan's mother's grave and told him about my illness.

That's why they took me as soon as my parents died in a train accident.

Now, the Duke of Icard is under political scrutiny as his powers begin to grow frighteningly.

"The Duke of Icard is trying to control even the Imperial Seal's marriage."

Some are convinced that he once stepped on a bud in a gold field. Therefore, such evil rumors began to circulate.

And the rumors are true.

However, due to controversy, he remains as Duke of Icard. He has not fully developed his powers as

So Duke Icard decided to use me to avoid that until his son grew up.

After Evan married me, others felt relieved, saying, 'Icard did not intend to influence the imperial family.'

Under this plan, the Duke of Icard can obtain enough power to fill his heart until the day I die.

'In about seventeen years time, the Icards will gather a small and powerful force, and there will be no reason to be wary of them.'

The last daughter-in-law in her mind was not me, but Elani. She was the only person who had a direct impact on the Imperial family, and it would be a national marriage.

'If I die, she plans to get Princess and Evan to marry each other.'

In fact, in the original book, Evan and Elani got married right after I died, and she became Princess Icard.

'But the problem is. I won't die.'

I'm far from the original plan of the criminal.

'But...what if I don't die at twenty-one?'

Under Imperial Law, divorce is unacceptable. So I'm going to be in a position where I can't get divorced. So what if I'm still alive, do I still have to make Evan and Elani connect with each other?

What about the Duchess of Icard?

'I became a daughter-in-law because she thought Evan would be a widower ...'

It didn't matter if the original story was different, but it was quite scary to see the villain go crazy.

If I hadn't died at that time, maybe he would have killed me then.'

My mouth is dry because of all those rational thoughts.

...***...

I'm sorry I'm late."

As I ran down the stairs, I saw the Duke of Icard waiting in a cold pose.

The Duke of Icard has an incredible presence.

"Yes, right."

He spoke briefly, as he looked at me with those cold eyes. Well, she couldn't possibly be interested because I'm just her daughter-in-law.

Even in the original story, I was stuck in a sanatorium like I was dead.

I am just a tool to illustrate how much the evil Duke used his son's marriage to covet power.

Characters that die quietly, without any narrative or characteristics.

"You look better than the last time I saw you."

I was shocked after hearing the words of the Duke of Icard.

I just assumed the worst that I would be killed, if things didn't go according to his plan.

"I have to keep this to myself."

'Don't let anyone know that I cured my own illness!'

Fortunately, Ocrasia fruit works really well and helps improve my health quickly.

The food here is delicious, so I eat well. The park is also beautiful, so I often walk around…

'If she knew that I wouldn't die later, she could kill me right now and call me daughter-in-law with time-limited honor.'

My frivolous imagination of the time limit to prepare for the worst is getting scarier.

Shaking inside, the Duke of Icard spoke haphazardly.

"It feels like you're gaining weight."

"I'm fucked."

He turned around to prepare his horse without listening to my answer.

"B-Dad!"

I desperately called him.

Slowly he came back to look at me.

"…Dad?"

This is definitely a unique way of saying that this will be his title from now on, as I called him that when we first met.

“Yes, Dad!”

I said with a very forced smile.

"A-if you don't like the title ..."

"No."

I could barely breathe a sigh of relief as he said, 'No,' worried about the possibility of being humiliated.

"But why."

His red eyes were extremely sharp as he stared straight at me.

I should never have backed down, or he would have started to doubt that I wasn't really sick.

Since we didn't meet often, I decided the way to avoid suspicion was to show my most vulnerable views. As I thought I would cough up blood.

"I-I want to take the train with you."

"…What?"

"I want to take the train with you, Dad."

"Why?"

Why not. I need to show my cough to make him think my time is limited.

Even though I can't tell the truth.

"It'll rain later, so I'm afraid you'll catch a cold if you ride a horse ..."

“Rain? The sky is clear.”

“Haha, you're right. Tomorrow it will rain..”.

Still, he didn't flinch. You could even say that he was currently dumbfounded.

Ah, is using the weather as an excuse a bad idea?

"The truth is…!"

So I decided to sell my soul.

"Just .. Now that we're family, I want us closer."

…Does it work?

As I waited with my heart pounding, he stepped up to open the carriage door himself.

"come."

"What?"

"Go in first."

Wow this success.

It's a bit scary to take the train alone with the scariest criminals, but it's better than being suspected of being healthier.

So I sat down opposite him and went to the Academy.
