Chapter 30's
...* * *...
"Evan?"
What he brought, surprisingly, was ganache.
"What's this?"
"What did you give me last time."
Evan replied casually.
"I heard you waited an hour to buy it and eat it with me."
“That, yes, but..”
"So, let's do what we couldn't do then."
Since he wanted to do it like me, he went downtown and queued for an hour to buy without using the name, 'Icard.' To be honest, ganache was just a smokescreen for my other plans, so I felt a little guilty, still…
I am the type of person who can easily ignore such regret.
"Oh yeah. Good work, although you don't need to do that.”
“Let's go downtown together next time. I'm leaving today because I really want to pay you back for how you waited for me earlier. ”
Evan put the ganache on the table in the garden and spoke softly.
"Of course, the knights who tagged you told me that you sent Lisa."
As it turns out, Ludva somehow orders everyone to find Evan and send him back.
'Truly thorough ...'
Although because I was more thorough, it was a victory for me.
“I'm not sure what will happen later, but .. if you come back later than me in the future, I'll wait for you so we can sleep together.”
"Well, if that's what you want ..."
Anyway, I don't think Evan will be home late because he hasn't fully recovered yet.
“But, the more important..”.
Evan slowly turned his head and observed Redian.
"Who are you?"
His voice sounded very cold.
"Why have you been staring at Laria all this time?"
Redian shuddered and looked at me sadly.
No matter how good I was at acting, I was surprised for a moment. I didn't want him to know that I wanted to make money with painting. In addition, Matilda had also often invited painters before, so I did not want to remind her of her trauma.
She must be thinking about Matilda while looking at me.
However, it was unreasonable to say he was just a shaman because he had been openly looking at me all this time.
So I have nothing to answer.
“Go for now.”
I fired Redian, telling him to think things through, even though Evan suddenly held my hand tightly.
“Laria is my wife.”
Is there anyone here who doesn't know that…?
As I glanced at Evan, feeling a little embarrassed, he continued glaring at Redian with a murderous look.
"I mean he's not just someone you can see."
'What do you mean, how can an artist draw if he doesn't study his subject closely?'
Although, of course, I can't say that.
"I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The innocent Redian bowed a few times quickly and hurriedly escaped.
"Who is this? That man."
Evan looked back at me and asked with a slightly stiff smile.
He added, “Why is he staring at you as if he was possessed?”
The way he spoke was terrifying. If I hadn't made Redian leave, he would have hit him already.
I was silent and confused.
'Now, this... It's a red flag!'
If I can't think of anything to say, I should at least take some time to think before blurring the main points and attacking!
'Front line, prepare to attack!'
I frowned and spoke frankly.
"Evans."
“Mm?”
"Maybe ... are you closed-minded like this?"
"…What?"
"No matter how high our status is, we are not the type of people who won't talk to ordinary people."
In the original story, like other royals, Evan makes no derogatory comments about Seymour, who is known as a commoner and has bought the title. Therefore, I think he is a person who is equally indifferent to everyone.
“You went to the Academy, so I thought you'd be more open and know more about that area.”
"I mean, I think it's really cruel for you not to treat commoners as human beings just because they're not nobles ..."
I tried to take my hand off her hand, but strangely the grip was strong and could not get out easily.
“Laria.”
It seemed like he finally let go of my hand, even though Evan just moved his position and locked his finger with my finger.
“Of course, I know you're good. However, it didn't matter if he was an ordinary person. The important..”.
Suddenly, I felt my chest tickle.
Her coughs have been reduced a lot lately, but it's coming out now when I'm in the middle of the park aimlessly?!
"E-Evan, wait."
"Why?"
"Wait a minute. I have to go to the bathroom... Cough!”
Finally, an inevitable cough came out. Evan's eyes widened in shock when he saw blood dripping from my mouth.
“...Laria?”
Evan is usually indifferent, so I never thought he could make such a face.
"Is there someone there? Gather all the kitchen maids now! Poisoning…!"
“Evan! It's not poison!”
"Who the hell is trying to hurt Young Master's wife?"
Your father!
I answered in my heart, but I held it. Of course, I can't say it out loud!
Evan grabbed my arm with glittering eyes. He seems to be on the verge of going crazy.
“I, I'm fine, Evan. It's not a big deal.”
Actually, it was a big deal, but Evan's expression was so severe that I said it unconsciously.
“Evan, stay calm. You didn't know before, but I've been like this a long time.”
"What?"
His whole body was trembling.
Evan slowly wiped the blood around my mouth with his thumb and bit his lip.
“Since long? What exactly happened to you?”
“Wait a minute, Evan. Just relax first..”
It felt like she was going to cry, so I was restrained for a while. I think Evan was surprised more than I thought.
Should I say I have a deadly disease?
Nevertheless, should I tell this child, who was mentally impaired because of Ludva, that his wife was dying? It is too cruel to tell a child whose mother's death was a traumatic experience, that his wife, who resembled his mother, would also die.
'When you're in trouble like this, you have to ...'
“Evan, I have to go to the bathroom first. It's not poison, so don't call an innocent person and just ask your father for details. ”
'Throw the ball to someone else. That's the best choice.'
“I'm still young. You'll know better if you ask dad because he also appointed me as a doctor. ”
Is this gonna work?
Evan was unwilling to let go of my arm, so I ended up having to use the cheat key to get out of this situation.
"…Cough."
“Laria!”
“Cough, Couuugh. Release... It's very difficult for me, cough.”
Just then, I started coughing with a pitiful expression, like a tragic heroine. Evan hugged me tightly, saying he was going to take me to the bathroom. Nevertheless, I was very surprised to see the hand that supported me tremble so violently.
That's why I tried to hide it from Evan as much as I could.
"You can take care of this as you please, father."
After taking me to the bathroom, Evan handed me over to Lisa, who came in a hurry before rushing to the Duke's office.
“Wait a minute, Baras. Even if Duke runs out of budget, I will fix it somehow. ”
'I'm fine even without spending the budget ...'
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Serena and Lisa, who were coming along, fighting.
“I mean, how can you become a doctor and let this situation happen?”
“It makes no difference if she is next to me or not when she coughs,” Serena replied while shrugging.
“But you will not realize if there is an emergency. Why don't you do your job right?”
Then, Lisa answered angrily.
"Alright, I'll be next to him from now on, so you should leave now."
"What are you gonna do? She must be covered in blood, so I'll help her change clothes.”
"Huh? I'm gonna help her. Last time, I saw a dress in the closet that I had never seen Laria wear before.”
“Why can doctors choose clothes? That's an abuse of power!”
I sighed and shook my head. Fortunately, I myself did not have to stop the fight between them.
"Lisa, Duke, and Young Master are asking you."
I don't know why Duke Icard called Lisa, but it's a relief.
After the Ludva incident, the two did not even look at each other. So, it looks like this will be a good opportunity to have a sincere conversation.
In the end, I took Serena and headed to my room.
