Since Harriet was still sitting on the couch.
Seeing his wife, Liam started to circle around the couch to sit on the stool Zaha had occupied before.
He looked straight at the woman who cast her gaze down, towards the wrist that Zaha had examined.
That was when Liam gently tried to touch her wrist too.
"It's happening again," Liam said.
“Yes… I thought after the first time this symptom wouldn't happen again,” Harriet muttered.
Liam didn't know what expression to show Harriet. Right now, he didn't even know what his own facial expression looked like.
He was very scared.
Harriet still hadn't taken her eyes off the wrist Liam was holding, and the man was a little relieved that Harriet wasn't looking straight at him. Because clearly, his cold, hard expression was currently on the verge of breaking.
<Harriet was acting strange.She didn't look sick, and she didn't look sad either. But she sat quietly in her room, avoiding everyone's gaze.If someone came and talked to her, whether it was their three teenagers, Zaha or Liam, Harriet wouldn't look them in the eye and would stare out the window, where cold air would pour in from that direction.All morning, Harriet said that she was very tired and weak.Lunchtime arrived soon after. Liam went up to their room with the tray of food he made with Zaha and Yelan and found Harriet still sitting in the same position on the bed, staring out the window."Madam," Liam called out to Harriet who looked lost in thought.The woman wasn't doing anything. She didn't read the romance books she used to enjoy in her spare time, nor did she study the letters from the Old Duke that had arrived yesterday.Sh
"I can see you!"Harriet shouted quickly. She focused on where Liam was talking and tried to look in the direction intently."Where did you look, Madam?"But in the midst of the darkness, Liam's voice suddenly appeared from another direction.Harriet flinched, confused and tried to look the other way.Liam had moved. Without a sound, he bolted to the front of the window and stood there. Harriet lied to him.No. More accurately, Harriet hid the fact that she couldn't see, and lied in times of urgency."You can't see me. Alright. Now we can't ignore this symptom, can we, Madam?” Liam asked in a cold voice. Now he understood why Harriet felt so angry when she heard he had rejected the Philosopher's Stone.This suffocating feeling of disappointment tormented him so much."We're not going to dela
Zaha Serpentes tried to remember what happened in that folk tale. And to help himself, he prepared himself paper and a brush.He took notes, anything passed his mind. He mapped the story he knew and anything related to it. He didn't know if it would add something to his guess.Long ago, ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky, burning the earth. No human could step in the strong direct sunlight, and everyone suffered.Plants died, animals died, and before long, people died too.In the midst of all that, 'Yayoi Lepus' a fictional young woman who was so beautiful, was concerned about the state of the earth. Her beauty was well known on the plains of Varanus, and it was said that even though there were ten suns in the sky, seeing her face would help to cool the surrounding.However, Yayoi couldn't do anything about the ten suns in the sky with her beauty alone.Bu
Knock Knock KnockThe door to the Gold Residence didn't open right away when Abby knocked on it. It was getting cold during the day even though the sun was still shining in the sky, so she tightened her cheap robe.Standing at the door, Abby wondered if she should knock again. She would make an excuse that she wanted to visit her sister today.She was about to knock on the door again but suddenly the door opened.A teenage boy stood in front of the door with a lazy look. "Who?"Unlike the teenage boy who didn't recognize her, Abby could recognize him. She spoke somewhat offended, “I-I'm Abby! You forgot that I'm Molly's sister?!”Abby was sure her face wasn't too basic or easy to forget. She was sure that it was because the young man in front of her was really stupid."You're looking for Molly? Why?" asked Yesha who was clearl
GRAB!"Kyaa!!"Abby screamed in surprise when suddenly someone grabbed her hand from the side. She turned her head to see Mrs Gold staring straight at her with her iris shining golden with anger.Abby didn't know if the golden light in the woman's eyes was a reflection of the light shining from the object in the wooden box… or if it was a cold light that radiated from her eyes directly. She was really shocked and scared.“Mrs—Mrs Gold! I-I'm sorry—I was… I was looking for you to ask something…!”Abby frantically tried to explain herself, but Harriet looked very displeased at her presence and snapped at her in a low, terrifying voice."Insolent. Who are you to enter someone's room without permission? Get out of here and never set foot in this house again."Harriet was very surprised when she ope
"Now guess," Liam said with a smile. He pulled a letter that had been opened from his jacket pocket and showed it to Harriet.Harriet took it and read the letter. Her eyes widened as she realized what was written on the letter.“His Grace and Her Grace are visiting?!” Harriet gasped in surprise. “S-you mean, Old Duchess will…?”Liam smiled widely. “That's right, Grandma finally decided to get out of the Great Forest. It seems that this was also due to the previous war… but mainly because she wanted to get to know you.”"Ah!" Harriet opened her mouth wide. She gasped loudly and her face began to turn pale.Seeing Harriet so panicked, Liam laughed. "Why do you react like that?""Oh! We have to clean the house—no, we have to change the window curtains and carpets!” cried Harriet.
On that freezing cold morning, Abby slowly opened her eyes.She woke up in a wide bed… which felt cramped. Where was she?The girl looked around, and gasped when she saw five other women lying around her… naked.And once she came to her senses, she found herself completely naked too without being covered by a single blanket."AAH!"Abby screamed in fear.What happened to her?!“AAH—! MMHP!” she was about to scream again, but one of the women suddenly covered her face with a pillow."SSSH! You want to kill us all?!”Abby stopped screaming and struggling. She released herself from under the pillow and glared angrily at the woman who had just forcefully stopped her screaming.“WHAT ARE YOU—MMPH!”“
The sun had climbed up into the horizon by the time Old Duke Rayleigh reached Obsidian Port City. At first, he wanted to go to his grandson's house first, but he cancelled his intention after hearing the advice of his wife who was riding next to him.“You'd better finish all the formal business before visiting Liam and his wife. Liam is recuperating, and his wife is heavily pregnant. You want to involve them in government affairs?”Alameida's voice was soft and sweet, but in Rayleigh's ears, who knew her tone of voice, it was nagging.“I know,” Rayleigh said in a low voice.“Oh, Ray… don't be so stiff like that. It has been a long time since I see you. Chat with me,” Alameida blinked her green eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently.The woman with long neatly braided blonde hair lightly pinched Rayleigh's waist coquettishly, smili
