Chapter 70
A gentle breeze, falling wisteria petals. His fiance definitely outshined the fresh vegetation with the summer scent. Kylian knew that he and Anais were getting married soon.
The wedding was less than half a year away, so he was very impatient about the fact that she still did not look at him as a man.
Once they’d get married, they would have to work hard for a successor. Kylian hoped that he wanted him wholeheartedly.
He’s no longer a child and he hoped her heart would melt. Anais didn’t seem to be interested in that at all, and only worked very hard as the Young Duke. She visits his room even less now.
Still, on rainy days, she would come to his room and make sure he was asleep. He could bear with it just by her coming and going.
A single dose of kindness seemed to last him ten days. He loved the way Anais smiled at him. Every little thing she did that made her heart skip a beat.
He was fine with no one else loving him anymore. Anais’s kindness to him was enough.
But even so, he could not easily sort out his desire for her. His feelings for her were rather contradictory. He also had a desire that she, too, would treat him like the opposite sex.
Because they will be a couple. When they really become a couple, they would be skin to skin with each other, and they would kiss each other. To fall asleep and wake up in the same bedroom every day. He will be able to breathe the breath she took.
Maybe the day will come when he could tell her that he had harbored this shamelessness in his heart.
“Kylian, this is Lilith.”
“Yes.”
“Nice to meet you. I am Lilith, the Saintess of Goddess Julias.”
“I told you before, right? She is your destined person, Kylian.”
Kylian was nervous whenever she talked about his destined one. Because he had believed it to be Anais.
But what was she saying now?
“Anais. Our wedding is half a year away. But you’re bringing another woman saying it’s my fate?”
“That…”
“Enough.”
He ran away from the spot. No, he didn’t think he could hold out if he didn’t run away.
Kylian quickly returned to his room and closed the door. Leaning against the closed door, he slumped to the floor, probably because his legs gave out.
“Kylian, there’s a woman destined to be with you. She’s very, very pretty. And she’s kind.”
“…….”
“Later on, you will be very, very happy with your destined woman.”
He was saddened because he remembered being excited when she said that to him, his heart beated uncontrollably. To him, his destiny was only Anais. But Anais didn’t seem to think so.
He really didn’t want to cry. But the misery pierced his chest and ran down his throat, making it difficult to breathe.
Even if she didn’t love him, she thought it was normal and okay. But when he faced a situation where she tried to connect him with another woman, he was so distressed that he couldn’t breathe.
He curled up into himself. But he didn’t feel better.
“What is this?”
“I made it with Lady Anais.”
Kylian was very annoyed with Lilith. Whatever destiny, he wondered if Anais would be able to say that even after the woman in front of him died.
But Anais loved this woman too much for that.
“It sucks.”
“I made it myself. The one next to it was made by Lady Anais.”
“…….”
When Kylian realized that the poorer of the two handkerchiefs belonged to Lilith, he laughed. Then he took the well-made one and put it in his chest.
“Throw that away.”
“Take this too.”
“Why would I?”
“Take it. Don’t make me say it twice.”
“…….”
Kylian looked back at her in amazement who spoke lightly while giving a smile like the statue of goddess Julias.
“I’ll tell Lady Anais that you told me to throw this away?”
“You… Aren’t you a saintess?”
“Just because I’m a saintess, do I always have to speak beautifully?”
“…….”
“I’m just speaking like that out of politeness. But when you yourself talk that way, why should I be respectful?”
“Do you think the imperial family is a joke?”
“You’re just a prince in name anyway.”
Kylian was a bit reluctant to Lilith’s duality. She seemed nice and docile when she was next to Anais. Because of Lilith’s sudden change of attitude, Kylian somehow felt strange that she would be a difficult adversary.
“Is that all?”
“Then what else? I want to go.”
That’s how Lilith came to Kylian. Kylian hoped that the strange woman would get away from Anais.
Kylian cherished the handkerchief Anais gave him. Actually, Lilith, who was offended by Kylian’s cold attitude, said the opposite, but he didn’t know it.
“Hey, Kylian.”
“What?”
The strange thing is that after that day, Lilith changed her attitude to be kind, even though she was still talking informally to Kylian. Kylian didn’t trust her any more. Because she looked like a snake that hides her true nature well.
“Do you really love Lady Anais?”
“…….”
“You’re not saying no.”
He glared at Lilith, who was staring at the handkerchief he was holding. Kylian hated Lilith. He doesn’t spend very long with his fiance. She was a very busy person, and what he was allowed at the Duke’s residence was limited.
He was no longer able to learn from the same teacher as her.
Kylian frantically tried to take the same classes like Anais, but as the next duke, it was difficult to keep up with her in her advanced studies.
As their time together decreased, he felt distant from Anais.
“You’re getting married soon, don’t you want to make progress?”
“…….”
“If you don’t want to, I’ll leave. Sorry for wasting your time.”
Lilith smiled broadly, waved her hand, and turned her back.
“How can I trust you?”
“I really like Lady Anais. Lady Anais saved me.”
Kylian already knew the story. She put a street thief into a high priest of Goddess Roseraine, and found and punished all the illegal slave traders. And to track down slaves who had already been sold and set them free.
“Lady Anais is like a savior to me.”
“You shouldn’t say such things carelessly, Saintess of Goddess Julias. Don’t you know that a servant of God will be excommunicated if it becomes known that they serve someone other than God?”
“That’s true.”
Lilith was looking at Kylian again. It was then that he first noticed that Lilith’s hair was a golden color similar to Anais’. However, hers was a bit darker of a gold.
“Let me help you.”
“Why are you helping me?”
“I want Lady Anais to be happy.”
“Swear to the goddess.”
“I swear.”
“Isn’t it a waste of divine power?”
“What is there to waste? I was sold into slavery because of this divine power.”
“…….”
Kylian wasn’t interested in Lilith’s past. But the days where he lived as the weakling were long, so he didn’t want to pretend he didn’t know. Besides, he knew that Anais was also an upright person who sided with the weak.
“How are you going to help?”
“Pretend you love me.”
“What?”
“Lady Anais is a supreme person. She has high self-esteem and is good at everything.”
Kylian didn’t dispute that. But it felt a little unpleasant. Anais, whom he had been watching, was not one to achieve things easily. So when those words came out of Lilith’s mouth, he felt bad, like denigrating all of Anais’s efforts.
“That’s why she doesn’t know.”
“…….”
“Her own feelings.”
“What does that mean?”
“Lady Anais likes you too.”
Kylian’s eyes widened as he looked at Lilith. As Lilith looked at his pathetic expression, she laughed and said to Kylian.
“That’s why she needs an opportunity to understand her own feelings.”
“You…”
“I told you. I was sold as a slave. What do you think was the first thing I grew good at?”
“…….”
“It’s my sense. If you don’t believe me, try it.”
“How?”
“From now on, every day, come visit me at the end of the day.”
“…Do you really think that Anais will look at me because of that?”
“Yes.”
Looking back, Kylian thought he shouldn’t have done that. Because he didn’t know what kind of scheme Lilith was actually plotting.
Still, he was so desperate. He wanted Anais to look at him, so he tried several things. But each time he did, he only realized again that her feelings for him were nothing more than sympathy and pity. Kylian felt that he could dedicate his soul if Anais really loved him.
He used to be mistaken that he could live on the kind favors she gave him before, but not now. He really wanted me to be the first thing Anais’s eyes, her hands, her voice would look for. Just like what he does.
He wanted so badly to beat him at that time. He was naive and believed in anything at the time. He was so desperate that he wanted to believe even those words, and he had a heart that didn’t know that shame.
“Have you been close with Lilith lately?”
“Yes.”
“I see…”
It really worked. Anais asked him first.
“Kylian.”
“Yes.”
“Why do you have so many petals in your hair?”
For a moment, he realized that the wisteria flowers that bloomed before the temple of Goddess Julias was still in his hair.
Kylian visited Lilith every day, but he never really talked to her. It’s just that he sleeps under the wisteria tree, and when he wakes up, he returned to the Duke’s residence again
“Really? I took a nap under a wisteria tree…”
Kylian remembered Anais carelessly removing wisteria petals from his hair, and remained still.
“Uh, I’m not sure where they are, so could you shake it off me?”
When he asked for a favor, Anais smiled and extended her hand. His heart felt like it was pounding again. Kylian’s eyes went cold.
“You must have had a good nap.”
“Yes…”
Kylian’s reddened face, ears, and unsteady eyes were not caused by shame. It’s because of the expectations he has for her and the feelings he can’t hide.
Kylian had no choice but to believe Lilith’s words. His fiance, who he had grown estranged for quite some time after the engagement, started taking an interest in him.
But an unfortunate incident did not escape them.
“Lady Anais has been kidnapped!”
The man rushing in was the former chief aide to Duke Percival, now serving as Anais’s aide.
