“Lady Sarah Lawrenttio – ah, wrong, Lady Sarah Lanchaster, are you content by playing the foster daughter of a Count?” there's a hint of sarcasm in the intonation.
The low-pitched voice along with the cold tone penetrated Sarah's ear. She lifted her head up. Hayden stood with one arm leaning on a window and looked down at her with that fierce look.
Hayden had no intention of elevating Count Lanchaster's status. He only wants his wealth whenever possible. But Sarah instead surprised him by becoming his foster daughter at the big annual event held by the royal family. It would be troublesome for him the next time he appointed Sarah as his consort.
Thinking about the events that happened that night, his blood boils.
“Your Highness Hayden, my dear, are you still mad about that? How long are you going to avoid me?”
For a moment, they could only hear the sound of the wind as there is no reply whatsoever from Hayden.

Dylan was stunned for a moment. His body heats up. With that splendid sight, he stared at Fuschia's lip, now slightly open. Her red lips twitched with every breath she took, and the blue dark hair that loosely framed her face painted a lovely picture.'I want to touch it, but...'As soon as he blinked, the blazing look in his eyes suddenly faded and the gentle look returned. Instead of responding, Dylan drew a jokester smile.The gaze that fell on Fuschia was gentle. He stroked her with infinite care just like dealing with fragile stuff, then lowered his face to kiss her cheeks. Along with a soft kiss. A low breath tickled her ear.She covers her red face. She didn't know what had gotten into her that she dared to say that.“Fuschia, what do you want from me? I can give it all, you name it.” Dylan's gaze seemed to tease Fuschia who was already embarrassed."Don't make fun of me." She pouted.Dylan bit his lower lips to sup
As I was nervously averting my gaze from his, my eyes were drawn to his hands that caressed my belly.It was hard to understand why I was still hesitating about revealing my plans to Dylan after all this time when we promised to run away together. At first, I kept my plans a secret because I still suspected Hayden's influence on Dylan. I was afraid that Dylan would unknowingly be influenced by Hayden and then spill my plans to him.But after I watched Dylan for a long time, he seemed to be more stubborn about his stand, and freer from Hayden's clutch. I think my doubts stem from Dylan's attitude that he doesn't immediately find a solution to untie Hayden's influence with his ring.I feel like he underestimated the existence of the green ring because he could easily slip out at will. Even had time to visit the Kingdom of Haddad. I don't know from where his self-confidence emerged as to underestimate the existence of the green ring that had been shackled to him fo
Instead of answering, Dylan looked at me with hesitant eyes. What I said seemed unbelievable, but the scene in front of him said something else, so it was natural for Dylan to act like that.I dared not look at Dylan again as I was afraid to know what his expression looked like.I lowered my arms, the swirling clumps of water in the air disappeared in an instant, including the splash of water that soaked the bed.For a moment, I could only hear the sound of my heart running like a wild horse as my fingertips throbbed. I dropped my head to hide my distorted face.'What if he reported me to Hayden that I am a wizard, then I was hunted as a witch? Please, Dylan, don't make me doubt you, please.'There was no turning back now. Even if he threw me aside as a witch, I can't resent him. I decided to come clean to Dylan, and I think this is a wise decision after I doubted him for a long time. With this, I can find out how Dylan will treat me in the future.
He felt like his head was turning white for a moment and silence came in an instant.The day at Green Lake when Fuschia chased him, then the night when he first appeared after their first night to protect her, the words she uttered while grabbing his robe, took over his head at this moment.It wasn't like he inferred anything from there. She was just in a dazed state after an intruder broke into her room. And he thought Fuschia was just guessing. But now, he knew why Fuschia recognized him as Hayden's replacement, and why her behavior was different."I... should have known it." Dylan swallowed his murmured."What? What are you talking about all of a sudden, Dylan? I just told you my big secret.”He should have known it then. All the changes that occurred in Fuschia were a form of defiance from painful experiences in her previous life. He should have known that maybe he wasn't the only one who had returned to the past.Fuschia was stari
Dylan left my room in the morning. He fulfilled my request to accompany me until morning came as he always left before I woke up.We talked all night. Reminiscent of the sweet moment he gave me when he was in Hayden's form in the past life. And the funny thing is, most of the good memories I think I had with Hayden, were actually with Dylan. Like the moment he gave me a small butterfly-shaped diamond pendant that he carved himself.Knowing that my fond memories were not shared with Hayden only was a relief.But it's really sad to know the reason he didn't give me that pendant in this life was because it reminded him of the moment I died. He said that in his first life, the pendant was the only thing left of me. And while draping the pendant around his neck, he annihilates everyone at Hayden's residence. And ended up dead.Yes, we talked all night, and I just closed my eyes for a moment as I keep waking up by the little sound. And Dylan was by my side to c
The carriage proceeded smoothly through the forest towards the aristocrat's residence area.Maybe because this is a carriage sent by Madame Luxor, our journey feels pretty smooth, although not comparable to the carriage His Majesty The King gave to me. But at least this carriage is friendly for pregnant women.During the trip, I rechecked the map that Laura had drawn.The Lanchaster Residence and the Luxor Residence are on the opposite side of each other. If the Lanchaster Residence was in the residential area of the aristocrats, then the Luxor Residence was near the capital's plaza. The distance between the two is also not close, but no further than the distance between the boutique and the casino.Then why do I say that the Luxor residence is the most strategic place? That's because, between that distance, there's no obelisk or dungeons, that can prevent me from creating a tunnel breakthrough. It's all thanks to Laura's research over the past few week
“Milady, close it!” Merri urge me to close the door to ground level.Laura and Merri rushed down the stairs breathlessly."There are guards on patrol. Ugh, they almost went over our heads, milady.” Merri said, still wiping her sweat.Well, the stairs that I made are quite high, about ten meters. But it doesn't seem like it will make Merri and Laura drenched in sweat like this.“Your Highness, we have arrived at my house area, but it is still in the backyard near the furnace,” Laura saidOh, no wonder they're sweating."So which way should we go to get to your mother's room?""This way, Your Highness." Laura pointed to the left.Then I knocked down the stairs I had made and made another path to the left.“Merri, can you control the fire in the furnace? Make it big so the guards' attention is drawn to this place.""Hmm, I think I can make it, milady."We waited for Merri wh
I knew my body was being carried by Dylan. But as my consciousness drifted away, what I felt was like I was floating in a pool of water. It doesn't feel shaky or jittery. I don't know what kind of carrying technique Dylan did for me, but I feel very comfortable. Except for the stiffening pain I felt in my lower body.I had experienced pain like this in my previous life. This is just as I was about to give birth. So my hunch wasn't wrong if maybe I gave birth in an underground tunnel."Oh, my lord! What happened?”I heard Madame Luxor's voice, Merri, and Laura shouting at each other. Every now and then I heard Merri's sobs pleading to Madame Luxor to save me. It sounded heartbreaking.If anyone who didn't know her situation passed by, they might think I was a victim of war when I was just about to give birth.“Your Highness, you must not fall asleep, please, brace yourself.”Madame Luxor's voice sounded loud in my ears and i
