Chapter 216 – For You for Me (5)
The trees lined up on the street drop their leaves, and the grass planted in the yard loses its color. The world, where autumn had arrived in full force, was quietly warning that winter was coming.
In the air that gradually gets colder, the residents of Yeongji put on fur clothes, brought the laundry inside, and ended up living with the door closed tightly to prevent cold wind from entering.
Deharm Mansion was the same, but the window in the attic had not been closed since Rinea had left the mansion. It was because Theorard, the head of the family, ordered not to touch the attic no matter what.
It was an order based on the belief that Linea would come back someday if the condition of the attic was maintained.
However, even after a day passed, two days passed, a week passed, and a month passed, Linea did not return to Deharm Mansion.

“…… The branches are getting more and more skinny.”
Harvey, who was watching the trees in the front yard of the mansion, gave a low sigh. The wrinkled eyes of his were full of compassion.
“Are you eating well? ….”
Linea. It was a goyan maid who had a lot of accidents, she didn’t want to do her job properly, rebelled easily, and even talked back to the old man.
But Harvey couldn’t hate Linea. She always acted boldly and often showed off her strong side of her, but if you talked to her a little bit, you could tell that she was a woman with a tender heart and many scars.
Perhaps this is why Harvey remembers how happy Linea was when she revealed her own name for her for the first time after returning from her garden. Because she thought that she would finally open up her heart and treat people.
However, David’s expectations were clearly missed. Linea had disappeared without leaving a trace on the day of Theo Rad and Esily’s wedding.
She continued, “She shouldn’t have stayed here. She would have been less upset if at least she had told me the reason when she left the mansion…….”
She tried to complain with regret, but it was meaningless. Shaking his head, Harvey was about to turn around when he heard the rattling of the wheels of his wagon not far away.
Giik-
The carriage that entered the front yard of the mansion without hesitation came to a gentle stop. Pulling the reins, the coachman confirmed that the horses had stopped, got off his seat, and opened the carriage door.
Harvey, who had been dazed for a moment, realized that the person in the carriage was Essilly, and hurried over. Apparently, he had left the mansion early in the morning and had just returned.
As David stands and waits in front of the wagon, Esily steps down the simple steps gracefully. I could feel her neatness and dignity of her in her appearance of her, wearing a dress and a thick cape draped over her shoulders.
“Are you home, madam?”
David bowed his head and greeted him politely, and as soon as he stepped on the ground, Seeley replied with a somewhat troubled face.
“Chief of staff. You don’t have to call me your mother. And you don’t always have to be this polite. You don’t even have eyes to see.”
Harvey raised his head and smiled benevolently.
“Thank you for being considerate, but I do it because I like it, so you don’t have to worry. More than that, did you talk well with the Vahimt Foundation?”
“Ah yes. In the end, the Vahimt Foundation decided to help the poor in Baron Brenu. It’s also a foundation run by a vassal noble of Pelgaroin, and since it’s a donation made after receiving a report, there’s no risk of embezzlement, so it’s a good thing.”
“Is that so. With this, all donations have been determined. If the head of the household finds out, he will be very happy.”
“I wish I did too. Is Seo-Bang-nim in the office?”
“No. After I finished my work, I went for a walk to get some fresh air.”
Walk. Although Harvey didn’t tell her the exact location, Ecilie knew where Theorad had gone for a walk.
It’s windy. If you stay outside for a long time in this weather, it will not be good for your health. Esily let out a low sigh and lightly fastened her cape.
“You must be spending time in the garden behind the mansion again. Even though I said that it was cold…….”
“Sorry. We tried talking about it too, but you’re so stubborn.”
“Because he is a knowledgeable person. Don’t worry too much, I’ll go and get you.”
Harvey felt apologetic, but he couldn’t bear to stop Seeley. Because, in the current situation, Esily was the only person who could break Theorard’s stubbornness.
“Then I will guide you to the entrance of the garden.”
I know the location of the garden well, but it would be rude to ignore the consideration of the chief chamberlain. Silly responded calmly as she placed her hand on his chest her.
“Yes. Please.”
*
Climbing to the garden through the road behind the mansion, Essilie found Theorard shortly thereafter.
In the center of the garden, where all the daisies in full bloom have withered, Theorard’s back looking into the distance while stepping on the scorched ground looks lonely.
Esily, who couldn’t stand to watch him, moved closer, but Theorad didn’t even move.
Hearing her footsteps her, he did not ignore them. It’s just that you’re immersed in your own world and you’re not aware of what’s going on around you.
“Theorard?”
I carefully called out his name his, but still no response. I feel a little bit jealous of Theorard, who is immersed in contemplation even though I came all the way to the garden because I was worried.
Essilie, who had been silent for a moment, hugged Theorard tightly in anger. From behind him, he wrapped his arms around Theo Rad’s waist and pressed his body closely.
Thanks to this, Theorard’s shoulders his trembled. The color returned to his eyes, which had been staring into the distance.
“…… Esily?”
Theo Rad turned his head to the side, but there was no way he could see his back. Esily, who used it, answered jokingly.
“Ding. Wrong.”
“Hmm. I don’t think it’s wrong.”
“…… There are no modifiers.”
Be a modifier A faint smile forms on Theorard’s lips as Seely plays her sweetheart.
“Good night. Say it again Are you the wife I love, Esily?”
“Ah. Well….”
It was the answer she was looking for, but when she heard it from Theo Rad’s mouth, she felt embarrassed about something in her. She was getting used to it now, but her heart was beating uncontrollably, which made it difficult.
“…… That is correct.”
Sheely, who moved her lips shyly, released her hand her from her embrace of Theo Rad. Theorad, her unshackled her, turned her around, and she could see Essilie subtly blushing in her face her.
Her blue irises resembling lapis lazuli and her shiny golden hair are so beautiful that they stand out at any time. But this was not the time when she was admiring her beauty in her in her Esily in her.
“Why did you come up to the garden when it is cold? It’s a big deal if you catch a cold.”
“That’s what I want to say. Is there a law that only women catch colds?”
The way she speaks out of surprise leaves her speechless. Theorard, unable to find anything to reboot, eventually admitted defeat.
“I get it. Enough for today and go down.”
Theorard took Esily’s hand and moved slowly. Esily followed the leisurely stride and studied Theorard’s profile in his.
Outwardly, he had a benign expression on his face, but his emaciated face showed how sad he must have been when he was alone.
She wanted to be with her all day except when she woke up, but it was virtually impossible as her work her from all sides was interfering with her newlywed life her.
There was no need to show her pity. Esily kept her light, and she told Theo Rad what had happened.
“Theorard. As I said before, the selection of donations has been completed. Now, a total of five foundations are going to faithfully carry out their missions.”
“Is it. Thank you so much for working hard for me. Was there anything difficult in the process of cooperating with the Foundation?”
“Well. There was nothing very difficult. Instead, there was a special incident.”
“Occasion?”
“Yes. Among the foundations I selected, there were foundations with corporations in the Holy See, right? According to those involved, the saintess has announced that in the near future all the evil deeds committed by the pope will be revealed. Her Majesty the Emperor also raised her saintess’s hand.”
The saintess will expose the evil done by the pope. This was information with a ripple effect that could change the situation of the empire.
But Theorard only nodded his head without much surprise.
“The saintess has made a big decision. If it is true that the Holy Father has committed an evil deed, then she must be punished accordingly.”
The answer that makes me feel tired is somehow clichéd. The eyes that had lost their guns seemed uninterested in how the world was going.
Ashley didn’t like that. To be precise, it was hard to watch Theorad, who was lonely from time to time.
So Esily decided to give this foolish man a push before it got any harder.
“…… Linea will not come back.”
Theorard’s feet stop. Essilly also stopped and looked back at Theorard.
“You know that. It’s the first time Linea has been absent for a month.”
“Esley.”
“I have to admit it. Otherwise, you will not be able to take a single step forward.”
Esily’s determined eyes stare at Theorard scoldingly.
“Theorard. Lynea is a coward. She is a cowardly coward who thinks that everyone will be happy if she leaves you before she gets hurt.”
Esily couldn’t sympathize with Linea’s choice her, but she could understand. It was because I had heard roughly what kind of life Linea had led through Theorade.
After being betrayed and hated countless times, the good intentions displayed turned into evil intentions. Those terrible memories were driving Linea to the edge of her precipice.
At the edge of the cliff, Linea thinks. Happiness, she says, is a feeling she can’t have herself. Theo Rad also said that over time he would hate himself.
Ashley didn’t like that. After all, isn’t she making it difficult for everyone again? Even though she was forgiven of all her wrongs of her, she was dumbfounded and guilt-ridden …….
“So…….”
Here, she will be able to monopolize the love of Theo Rad, which is featured in If You Tell Me to Forget about Linea. She did, but she knew very well that she shouldn’t.
Because I didn’t want to see Theorard suffer any more. She also didn’t want to let her foolish woman, Linea, go like this.
“Linea…… Bring that coward here.”
A warm voice like the spring sun makes Theorad’s heart shake. However, the sense of responsibility that comes from being the head of a prestigious family made Theorad hesitate about his decision.
“…… I can’t. Does it make sense to leave her wife behind on a journey to retrieve a slave.”
“Theorard. Lynea is not a slave. I don’t know the details, but it seems that Linea’s position in her in Great Forest is Grand Master. Probably a very high position.”
“Even if you do, it will look like an affair in the eyes of others.”
“Isn’t it okay if it’s not an affair? I know there is no law in the Empire that says a man must have only one wife.”
Theorard’s eyes widened. Essilly’s comments were so shocking that he was at a loss for words.
However, Ashley calmly continued. As if the resolution had been made from before.
“If you take the Grand Master as your wife, the family’s honor will not be tarnished. I’ll convince my father well, so don’t worry about him.”
“Esley. Are you really okay?”
“It’s not okay. I’m sure you’ll be jealous, and you’ll be jealous that you love me more than Linea. However…….”
Esily looked at Theorard and smiled a little awkwardly.
“I am convinced that the future will be better than the present.”
A gasp flowed from Theorard’s mouth as he looked down at Essilly. The breath that becomes cold and disperses like smoke represents Theorard’s feelings of his.
How did God give me such a wise and lovely wife? Theorard murmured inwardly and hugged Esily tightly, unable to overcome the emotions that came rushing in.
“Thank you. Really…….”
Theorard’s arm his trembled as he embraced Esily. Sensing that subtle trembling, Essilie’s eyelids closed calmly.
‘Theorard…….’
How discouraged and frustrated she must have been when she faced the reality of not being able to go in search of Linea.
Theorard, who must have been so nervous that she couldn’t bear to tell her wife that she was going to find Linea, is good in her eyes. Seeley, appreciating her husband’s pain her, sighed and buried her face in Theorard’s chest her.
“If you are grateful, please love me more than now. And…….”
Theorad’s embrace was so warm that he didn’t even care about the cold of autumn. Esily whispered in a low voice as she lifted her arm and hugged Theo Rad.
“…… Do not get hurt, and bring Linea with her body her intact.”
The caring tone of her makes her heart melt. Theorard nodded her head and swore into Esily’s ear her.
Before winter comes, she will bring Linea back to her mansion.
