Chapter 73 – Verification (4)
“What are you doing.”
When I first grasped the situation, my thoughts were not panic or fear.
It was just a kind of resignation that it would happen again.
Maybe it’s true that people get used to it once they experience it, so I just wanted these pranks to be put away quickly.
Everyone in the mansion knew that I had entered, but when I heard that I hadn’t come out of my room for several days, no one would care.
At least there was no way the head of the household would not intervene even after hearing this fact.
He was the kind of man who would not let his second daughter do something like this, even for the sake of his family’s honor.
A week at most?
That’s what I thought.
Now that we had discussed the time period, it was time to conclude on other questions.
Why do you do this
Apart from her familiarity, what she was doing now was a serious crime.
One person was already paying the penalty for it.
Of course, she embroidered, but will Seria make the same choice?
According to what I recently felt, it was close to a complete no.
It seemed that the irreversible line had been crossed.
Since when?
Travel?
The start of tutoring?
Or earlier?
Whatever it was, this relationship had already gone wrong.
As usual, she began to place my meals in front of me.
As if we were already married.
It was frustrating to see her with a smile on her lips as if she was doing what she was supposed to do as a wife.
“You drank a lot yesterday. I brought some good things for hangover.”
It was a conversation running parallel lines.
She wouldn’t listen to me and I couldn’t accept her words.
“What are you doing?”
If the opponent comes out like that, I just repeat the same action.
It seemed twisted, but it was true that she was sincere to me, so she opened her mouth soon.
“I think Ed is shaking a lot these days.”
I wondered if it was right to put chains on people’s legs just because their hearts were shaking.
“Quickly release it. If you solve it now, I’ll just do it.”
“No, I do not want.”
Is the meaning of that word just a complaint, or is it sincere?
Anyway, I didn’t think they would listen to me even if I had to say it for a hundred days now, and it just seemed like time would have to solve it.
No matter how she is, if she sees the head of the house doing this, she will not be able to tolerate it.
He will also know that I entered the mansion last night, so this won’t last long either.
“Why don’t you eat? Do you have no appetite?”
I didn’t have an appetite.
It just made me think that the trust that disappeared was not doing something wrong with the food.
As if knowing something, she tilted her head.
“Do you really think there was something in the food?”
She responded with silence.
“I didn’t add anything else…It’s sad that you don’t seem to be trusted.”
She took a bite of her food with those words.
“Does this make you believe a little?”
After a few minutes, there was no reaction, so I guess I didn’t really put anything in.
Now, the reason why it can’t be easily brought to the mouth is probably because trust has been destroyed.
As she was still contemplating whether or not to eat her meal, she opened her mouth.
“I know you still don’t believe me.”
“Just listen to my story and you’ll know why I did it.”
“Now rest.”
With that said, she left her room.
It was a bonus to say that the lady-in-waiting would come and take her empty bowl, so she could leave it at her door.
Meals left behind and one person chained.
Is this what a prisoner looks like?
Too luxurious to be a prisoner
Being a political prisoner, the existence of metal that reveals its presence on the ankle was unfamiliar.
First, we decided to eat.
Shouldn’t you live no matter what happens or not?
The taste of the food was really annoyingly delicious.
###
She was Seria who somehow held him back.
Did you know that forgiveness is simpler than permission?
Her idea of committing first and seeking understanding from him later seemed bold at first glance and made her look like a gambler.
Her thoughts, which no one with a normal point of view could understand, came unexpectedly from the person she hated.
She did almost the same thing as he did, but she hated the fact that she was not hated by him for the fact that she had a child.
It was not wrong.
But that was only half true.
Edward Weiss can no longer treat Heina Torlern the way he used to.
He went to see her to hear the truth about her and to see her because he was a child with her own blood in her liver.
But Seria didn’t realize that.
No, I probably wouldn’t realize anything in my future life.
I couldn’t understand her love, which had already been severely twisted.
Nothing mattered to her now.
Even if she lost everything, she needed to be by her side.
Until then, she was Seria, who had been doing things carefully so that she would not get out of his eyes.
Since she knew that, she was the one who had no choice but to use her means.
There was only one difference, but the jealousy and anger of those who felt that they could be treated differently were now in a state where no one could stop them.
So she got to the point where she ended up putting a chain on his leg.
Perhaps, if it was a tragedy, it would have been a tragedy that there was no side for Edward Weiss in this mansion.
###
It’s already been a week since this repetitive life has been repeated.
I couldn’t clearly determine the time, but I could tell that today was the 7th day since it had been 6 times since I repeated sleeping and waking up.
In the meantime, Seria always brought meals.
As if she took it for granted, every single day she brought her meals and stared uncomfortably at me while I ate.
As if to dispel my doubts somehow, she always took a bite first.
There was a strange conversation going on, saying everything I wanted to say, but not answering any of the questions I asked.
I am also in a situation where I am constantly ignoring it because I have come up with it.
A situation that I never would have imagined would happen between us just a few months ago really made me feel strange.
“So what I heard is true?”
It was always me trying to talk.
She didn’t say anything today.
But today something was different than usual.
She sighed deeply as to what had changed her mind.
“It would have been nice if you didn’t know.”
She was so lucky
“That’s right, Ed. I was there that day too.”
“I went to the space where the woman imprisoned Ed and filled her selfishness.”
It was the moment when the memories and testimonies of the three people were combined.
But why did she hide these facts from me?
No that wasn’t the point.
Why was she there?
“…Why”
“Why was she there?”
Of course, it might have something to do with it, but how she came to know about the place was not important now.
She started to say things that I didn’t know if it was an explanation or just an explanation.
“Yeah, Ed.
Do you remember the first time I told Ed about me?
Looking back now, it’s funny, but that was the first day.
Who in the world would talk like that on the first day.
But on that first day, I became interested in Ed.
What kind of person is this person just asking me to do well?
It must have been a courtesy.
I know. We are different now than we were then.”
It was a story that could have been a serious problem, but the way he spoke seemed really comfortable.
As if you would understand everything if you listened to the story.
It was a nonsense story.
Considering the tragedy that happened to me, it was right to blame her and leave, but it was psychologically and physically impossible.
Yeah let’s hear it
That’s probably why you’re listening to her.
“You said it was because of that one thing?”
“Only?”
She was looking at me strangely, as if she didn’t want to hear from me.
I think if she said it in a playful way, she wouldn’t have been awkward, but why is her sincere expression more awkward?
It seemed that the topic should be changed.
“Why did you do that?”
“Why did you do that…It’s really hard to explain. There are so many reasons, but to put it in one word, it’s because I love Ed so much?”
“Don’t play around.”
She seemed to be annoyed that she kept going over puns, but she seemed to be serious.
Her expression darkened.
“Ed seems like this whole thing feels like a joke.”
She let out a sigh and went on with her words.
“Ed was everything to me from that day on.
From a certain point on, Ed didn’t seem to be looking at me alone.
Since when? Was it from when someone brought out the work of the day?
She keeps looking at Ed, who doesn’t look at me and turns her eyes elsewhere…
I was anxious.”
She held my hand
Feeling uneasy, he immediately removed her hand.
“Ed…”
“Don’t run away anymore. Starting with me, my family will help. Teacher, you’ve achieved everything now, right?”
She averted her eyes in fear of those twisted love eyes.
Wouldn’t it be wrong to think that the future won’t be so bright?
I thought so.
