Chapter 189 – Episode 188. Her and Her Fight (2)
“That… Um, so Since she was proposed to, Astrid is the concubine, and since she was not, Astine is the concubine… Is that the logic?”
“… Yes.”
Astrid didn’t want to change her body.
Not only did she not want to change it, but she even teased him by saying that she was watching the intimate time between Seobangnim and Jungsilnim.
And the teasing continued until Asti was going to give prenatal education, so she made a fuss to change immediately.
After changing his body like that, Leopold was finally able to fully understand what had happened.
“… Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”
“As expected, this logical explanation is better for me. He’s only good at fighting, much better than his ‘younger brother’ Astrid, who has no iron.”
In fact, for logic to be established, shouldn’t such a fight have happened in the first place…
Leopold had a sudden thought, but he didn’t bother to say it out loud.
He, too, sometimes notices something like this.
However, even with that notice, I can’t figure out how to overcome this situation right now.
Leopold was also a legitimate wife, and she knew how important concubines were.
But Astrid and Asti are the same, aren’t they the same!
Wasn’t one person split in two because of a curse?
However, since the two of them were blaming each other for being concubines, Leopold couldn’t understand.
Besides, the body is one.
Only the one who moves the body changes.
Astrid or Astina, I don’t even know that from the outside.
“A marriage proposal, a marriage proposal… Hmm. Ha, but. Wasn’t it you who conceived my child first? It seems that the existence of that, ah, child is more important than the marriage proposal… Losing… “
Leopold slurred his words.
Perhaps this could bring another aftermath.
If that was the case, Asti might be so excited and insist that Astrid, “Look at this, Your Highness is a true husband who puts children above all else, so he doesn’t care about marriage proposals—”
“That, right?! Right? Are children more important?”
I don’t even smell tea now.
In the first place, since she had only just received a confirmation of her pregnancy, far from showing off, her belly was slim, but Asti was stroking my belly and looking at Leopold with deep eyes.
It’s hard to say yes, and hard to say no.
Leopold was really embarrassed.
It became a situation where I didn’t know how to organize this situation.
And then, Leopold came up with a good idea.
“Can’t I just propose to you, Asti?”
“… Yes?”
And Astrid will have children anyway.
I’m not sure, but I’ll make it happen.
After all, even in the future Berashien saw, there were seven children.
Astrid is going to have a baby too, and if so—
“I propose to you as well, Astri… I mean, if you have children, aren’t you both in the same position?”
“What, what?”
Asti’s eyes widened.
To say that he does not know what a marriage proposal means to a woman, is this person speaking in his sane mind?
That said, Asti didn’t know what the marriage proposal meant, but even so, it wouldn’t be so cheap that he would give it away so easily.
“… Uh no no. I made a mistake.”
At the time Leopold said it, I thought it was an insight, but looking at it and looking at Asti’s reaction, it seems that it wasn’t.
Marriage proposal and conception.
None of them were unimportant, but Leopold hadn’t thought of that.
Maybe it was because he was a man that he took it even more lightly.
*
“… Joy.”
【Why are you laughing strangely again?】
“I don’t speak half words anymore.”
It was dawn.
Leopold had already proposed to her late at night, and the excitement had made it impossible to sleep, and then the chaos erupted, and since Leopold had gone, it was already very early in the morning.
The deep dawn, close to the hour of obscurity, when it is probably dawning soon.
Even so, Asti didn’t sleep and went out to the garden and sat on a bench.
It was the bench on which Leopold had proposed to Astrid.
【Well, since you’re going to be a wife, you’ll need to be dignified.】
“… You are laughing.”
Asti didn’t answer.
Cooling his head and thinking about it, there was nothing else to be excited about.
Above all, the body is not one.
Astrid and Astigo, no matter what, she is just the same in the eyes of others.
That means there is no distinction.
On that subject, whether it’s a concubine or a concubine, what does this have to do with it?
It doesn’t matter.
But it’s a matter of mood.
You feel bad.
I feel bad.
【… Well anyway, are you okay now?]
“What?”
I replied, but Asti also knew roughly what Astrid was talking about.
The dream Veracien showed.
In that dream, the source of Asti— so, in this case, it should be called a previous life.
Nothing in her previous life looked right.
It seems like a hint that Asti will gradually forget her memory,
Now, it seems like she doesn’t bother to know because it’s a story on the other side of her, a very distant relationship.
The past that seemed so blurry.
To Asti, who looked back on the past, Astrid was talking.
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
At times like this, should I say that she is like Astrid?
I’m not saying it’s feminine, but should I say it’s like a soldier who led the privates of the Grand Duchess of Mitterien?
As if he was not a commander who was highly supported by the soldiers for no reason, he has a meticulous mindset.
‘… It’s okay, but there’s nothing to do. Aren’t I dead in those memories?’
【It’s very unusual to say that you died so easily.】
‘Because you’re telling the truth. I’m not making up things that don’t exist.’
【Still, it’s not usually a good feeling to see yourself die.】
‘That’s right, but.’
Asti laughed.
It wasn’t a matter of feeling good or bad, but I didn’t have to say that.
‘It’s all in the past, and I’m the one who died and came back to life.’
【Me, that’s not it.】
Opinion came from an unexpected place.
Asti stopped talking.
【It should be called us.】
At Astrid’s words, Asti remained silent.
The morning wind was cold.
The season is already winter, so it should be quite cold weather, but today, the day was quite warm.
That’s why it was a really good day, but at dawn, it’s such a cold dawn that I wonder where the warm weather has gone.
Us not me
Astrid’s words had that much weight.
Asti was implicitly aware that they were two people, but Astrid went beyond that perception and corrected them to be one instead of two.
Like a sister
Asti thought so.
He is thoughtful and knows how to care for the thoughts of others.
Although she endured the curse alone, she did not show any signs of that towards Asti.
Sometimes she makes Asti angry or angry, but when you look at her like this, she has a very mature side.
【It should be called us.】
‘Yes… I guess.’
And then there is no word for a long time.
【Even though I said it somewhat harshly. Actually, whether it’s a concubine or a concubine, what does that matter? It looks the same to others anyway.]
‘That’s right. I have one body, but what use would that be?’
【In that sense, I’m sorry for harshing my words. Because he has a constitution where blood flows easily to his head.]
“P-” And laughed out loud.
For Astrid to apologize, she seems to have grown up a lot.
【Why are you laughing?】
‘No, it just made me laugh.’
Isn’t that a very peculiar thing?
【Your Highness said so.】
‘What?’
【I’m like a misfortune heroine.】
– There was such an unfortunate, tragic heroine in a novel I read when I was young. I still remember how in the world I was subjected to all such unfair things, it was strange and strange. But Astrid, if I see you now.
– I don’t think it’s as much as you even if you put all the things that the heroine of the novel has been through. How did this happen to you And how did I not know that
【But I don’t think I’m the misfortune heroine.】
‘Okay?’
【Is it so. Who else would try such a rare experience? Plus you… 】
No words for a while
Asti waited quietly without saying anything.
A long, long time passed.
【… It’s another age. Still, he’s a pretty good person. Of course, since I’m a good person, you’re sure to be a good person as well.]
Asti’s eyes drew a wide arc.
Laughter emerges.
Astrid’s words made me laugh for no reason.
‘… Yes I think so too I’m glad you’re such a nice person. I’m glad the other me is a really good person.’
【Yes, I want you to be grateful.】
‘I know you’re grateful too.’
Asti raised her head and looked up at the distant mountains.
The sun seemed to be about to rise, and a pale light was pouring out over the ridge.
Compared to others, they were very unusual, with two people living in one body, looking at the same place.
Morning is coming
After a long, long darkness, and a confused dawn, the morning was finally dawning.
