Chapter 28's

"How's it?"

"Laria, you don't need to know."

I looked at him fixedly.

Who asked a question just to hear an answer like that?

However, there must have been something so extraordinary that 'it' Duke Icard, who was not a good liar, said that. I breathed in my heart. It is unfortunate that I have this body without knowing its background.

"I should have finished the whole novel."

I know less about Icards than I thought. All I remember in detail was the development of the Male Leader…

“...If all plans go my way.”

“….”

“All the wrong things will go back to where they should be. So, I can't stop.”

I realized it meant he couldn't be stopped.

He will be the mastermind controlling everything. Thus, when all the plans were fulfilled, Duke Icard would completely devour the nobles and the Royal Family.

In the end, Duke Icard will be able to do whatever he wants.

Are you saying that everything, even Evan's shaky emotions, will be solved? Much more efficient than a few words?

'But, is that possible...?''

The more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was in a labyrinth. Come to think of it, he didn't even say the ridiculous joke he did out of habit this time. That means he's really serious.

I was very curious about Duke's intentions, although I remained silent because the atmosphere showed that I should not ask again.

Because I already knew that my death was included in the 'plan' for Evan and Duke Icard to be truly happy…

After that, Evan became a little strange.

It's okay if he wants to hang out with me, but.it's a problem because he seems to have turned into a different person.

We'll have breakfast together again if there's no obstacle. Evan read the newspaper as nonchalantly as before but was subtly involved in my food. Slice the meat, peel the fruit, or pour water before the cup is empty.

I seriously consider that he has changed completely.

“What, what's up? I can do it myself, Evan.”

“I've ignored you.”

"What else…"

Evan said without looking me in the eye.

“I didn't mean that, really.”.

That, I already know. However, he didn't have to be this kind.

“So, I will do better than I have never done before.”

Then, are you doing this because you regret having ignored me?

Yeah, if I think about my actions that night when I sobbed and fell asleep, that's great. I deserve an award.

Thinking so, I rolled my eyes, emptying the dishes.

"How about we go for a walk after you finish eating?"

It was friendly, but a little uncomfortable.

“Hmm... You won't practice?”

He is informed that Ludva is still in prison and that the deputy commander is temporarily appointed as the Knight Commander. Since then, Evan has not had to go to the training ground since dawn.

The Duke's successor class had also begun, so he seemed to be busier because of it. He will always come after I've slept.

"I have time for a morning walk with you."

“Ya, alright.”.

“I heard you like to go to the greenhouse. Let's go together."

'The greenhouse has the fruit of the Oklasia tree ...'

While walking around with Evan, the strange anxiety I felt continued.

He cleared the hadith for me, even though there was only one leaf on the road, and was also busy moving towards the sunlight to create shade for me.

Of course, she didn't say anything special back then, so I couldn't ask her why.

'What's wrong with you? You are out of character.

He completely destroyed his original setting, and, for me, who believed in the phrase 'unchanged people' and his original setting, it was quite shocking.

'That's hard.'

I was not happy to see Evan's beautiful smile, fanned me and said, "Is it too hot?"

'I mean, what's with the child depicted in this novel as a child who didn't even spill a year when his wife died?'

He was not a friendly character in the original, but it was definitely an unusual situation for him to be friendly.

Furthermore, Evan's relationship with Duke Icard has yet to recover. Duke Icard cast a thought on talking to him, despite not speaking well with Evan.

'That's not how you raise your kids...'

No, is it reasonable to say to your child, 'Don't let your subordinates treat you carelessly?' in such a situation?

Maybe Evan finally couldn't let go of the thought that he was the 'Origin of the Duke's misfortune.'

'You were so nice to me while you were so crooked?'

She's very sweet but somehow weird, so I have no choice but to keep doubting.

That was.

"Huh? Are you two taking a walk?"

It was the servant with whom I left Evan in a hurry back then.

"Oh, Cobb, good morning."

Is his name Cobb? Nevertheless, this was not a place where servants would often come.

"I want to see Young Master."

Cobb approached us with a big smile.

At that moment, I got a feeling. An actor recognizes an actor, in particular, an expert can recognize an amateur with just a glance.

“My sister's relatives entered the academy where the Young Master left!”

"Thank you?"

"I heard Young Master graduated first in the academy."

“Yeah, that's right.”

“I even heard that you won first place in the Academy's last youth swordsmanship competition. You are amazing, just 12 years old.”

"It's not a big deal."

“This is a big deal! The age of the participants was seventeen, so everyone said you were in a very disadvantageous position physically. ”

He was a servant who seemed to know very well about the academy where his sister's relatives would enter.

I grinned in my heart.

'It's clear that you two planned this.'

Even though I was aware of it, I decided to play a bit with rhythm.

“Oh, Evan! That was amazing. I don't know it.”

"Well, it's been a long time."

“Stay, you won first place, that's amazing. There must be a lot of students in the academy. ”

Evan smiled happily at my commotion.

Then, after releasing useless information, Cobb said that he would go and go.

“Not that I live casually, but I will work hard in the future.”

"Ah time?"

“You said that to me. My mom wants it too.”

Suddenly, I had a very reasonable thought.

Maybe Evan projected his mother onto me? Because he is young. And even now, Evan is emotionally sensitive because of Ludva.

'In hindsight, all the things I've done for Evan are all the things I wanted my mother to do.'

When she said 'if my mom was alive, ' I thought she was looking at me like that.

'That's possible. Because Evan is not friendly to any woman, but he suddenly misses his mother.'

So, I think he told me what he wanted to be proud of with his mother. After all, Evan wasn't the only one who saw Matilda in me. Even Lisa said that when she saw me, she also thought of Matilda.

“When I saw Miss Laria. The atmosphere around you is similar to hers.”

All of those puzzles seemed to be solved, so I felt a little relieved.

"Have you spoken to your father since that day?"

“Yah, no.”

"Let's try talking and hanging out ..."

"I will follow my father's will, after all."

Taking the flowers from the flowerbed and giving them to me, Evan continued, "So, there's no need to talk."

I don't think much has changed.

'Your father's will is to kill me and have a new son-in-law instead ...'

After all, besides, the relationship between Evan and Duke Icard was not getting any closer at all.

“Ah, except that silly joke. Well, he didn't even do it in front of me.”

On the surface, Evan looked fine. In addition to training in swordsmanship, taking succession lessons, eating well, and sleeping soundly, Ludva was thoroughly punished.

However, even for a short period of time, she was emotionally abused, so there was no way the child would be alright. Therefore, it seems like Evan, with whom I spent some time now, is not too indifferent, on the contrary, he lacks affection.

'It seems like he doesn't know how to communicate with people?'

I patted Evan's hair gently.

Seeing her happy face, I decided to be nice to her like her mother until the wound that Ludva opened recovered.

…Because I was always a little weak against Evan.

I wish he was happy.

I vaguely thought it would be nice because he had lived a very miserable life until now.
