Chapter 75
“Kylian, are you really sleeping?”
Anais asked again nervously. She was concerned about the fact that he couldn’t sleep yesterday, which was supposed to be their first night, and ended up braiding all her hair.
After becoming a married couple with Kylian, she wanted to be with him even though she was uncomfortable with him. But she was a busy person externally, and Kylian was even busier than her.
Therefore, she had small expectations about the behavior he showed her.
“It’s no use pretending to sleep like that! Are you going to braid my hair again when I fall asleep?”
“…….”
“Kylian! If so, I have no choice! Don’t regret it!”
Anais shouted, but Kylian was actually asleep like dead. The sleeping pill he took was so powerful that it could put even an elephant to sleep. Kylian didn’t want to feel the humiliation and sadness he felt yesterday again, and it was clear that she would sleep without caring about him again anyway.
“Ugh.”
Anais sat next to the sleeping Kylian. Kylian under her gaze was so handsome that it made her heart pound.
“Who exactly is the one who’s bad? You’re worse than me.”
Anais complained and headed to her room.
When she came back into the couple’s bedroom, her arms were full of secret weapons that would surprise him the next day.
Kylian woke up in the morning and looked down at Anais before heading to the bathroom. He gently stroked Anais’ hair.
Kylian was able to come to his senses as her soft hair slipped out of his hands.
“Good morning, Wife.”
He said that, thinking she had fallen asleep.
Kylian was about to get up and head to the bathroom.
“……!”
He was startled by his reflection in the mirror and froze in place. Kylian traced his face with his hand as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Wife! What is this?”
“Kyaah!”
Anais screamed unknowingly when Kylian rushed to the bed looking like an angry bull. Only then did Kylian realize that she was awake, but his bewilderment was greater than that.
“It’s makeup. And it’s beautiful—very much so.”
“Are you a monster or a person? Who draws ears to the mouth?”
“Is that a problem now?”
“Haa.”
Kylian lowered his head, covering his face with his large hands. He must be upset about this situation, but the problem was that when he remembered Anais putting her hand on his face while he was sleeping, his heart was pounding so hard.
“Are you angry?”
“…….”
He found it cute when she was looking at him.
“Are you very angry?”
He felt like he couldn’t stay like that.
“Kylian?”
At some point, Kylian could only see Anais’ lips. Now, is he doing this because he wants to kiss her? Kylian was taken aback by his impulsive emotions. All he could do was escape this situation by running away.
“Kylian!”
“Lady Anais will abandon you the moment she finds out that you like her.”
Kylian pondered Lilith’s advice and ran away to his chambers.
“Didn’t you say you were going to wear a dress?”
“You didn’t hear? His Majesty had an accident yesterday. I think I’ll have to go to work as soon as I say hello.”
Unfortunately, Anais was wearing a white uniform. Kylian didn’t hate the fact that she wore her uniform as the Young Duke. However, the dress she wore yesterday suited her so well that he just thought he would like to see it one more time.
No, it was better.
He thought so. It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to hide how much he really loves her if she even put her arms around him the way she did yesterday.
“Kylian.”
“Yes.”
“Nothing.”
He didn’t know what words she swallowed.
However, when he looked at her diary later, Anais actually thought he was going to ask her why she put make-up on him like that. After he ran away, he pretended it never happened, so she deliberately didn’t ask.
“Welcome, Young Duke Percival. And my son.”
“Greetings to the sun of the Empire.”
“Greetings to the sun of the Empire.”
Kylian lowered his head and looked at Anais. The Emperor before them was a man who had barely even had a conversation with Kylian despite being his father. He was the one who abandoned his mother after taking her to bed like that, and even though the empress had poisoned his mother and eventually killed her, the emperor did not even conduct a proper investigation on the crime.
“Hohoho. I heard that Young Duke cares for my son a lot.”
“That’s right.”
“Ever since Kylian was taken into the Imperial Palace, he has been my favorite son.”
Kylian was taken aback by those words. Anais was not a fool. There was no way she did not know that he grew up being treated with contempt.
“I rely a lot on His Highness.”
“Really?”
“Yes. If he hadn’t become my spouse, I wouldn’t be here now.”
“Hohoho. I’m really happy to hear you say that.”
Kylian wanted to run away from this place. Her position was of her own making. She was Anais’ shadow like the starlight in the night sky.
“Thanks to the diamond mine you gave last time, the imperial family has been enriched.”
“Let’s talk about that next time…”
“I can’t believe you thought of dedicating it to the imperial family for your husband.”
“…….”
Kylian’s ears heated up with shame. While the imperial family was pursuing his marriage, he did not receive any proper funds for the wedding. He heard that Duke Percival rejected it.
He could understand up to that point. After all, the emperor had too many children, and he regarded them as mere toys to be given to his loyal subjects. But Kylian never thought that he wouldn’t even be able to receive money as a dowry.
“Shouldn’t Kylian know this too? Kylian.”
“Yes.”
“Thanks to you, the imperial family has a diamond mine. It’s the finest diamond mine on En First Island.”
“…Yes.”
“You deserve to be proud.”
“…….”
Kylian couldn’t bring himself to smile. It seemed like the emperor was saying Kylian deserved to be proud of selling his body and contributing to the imperial family.
He wanted to be her equal. Because he loved her and wanted her to be the one she could truly lean on and rely on.
Kylian put in as much effort as Anais to achieve that.
However, he was embarrassed and devastated that all his hard work was seen as nothing more than a part of the marriage business. He couldn’t deny it.
“Your Majesty, I really care about His Highness. I want to live in harmony with His Highness in the future.”
“I hope so too.”
The Emperor was smiling, but Kylian was not. He knew when Anais was forced to smile, and this was it. She was just smiling and responding appropriately, like a soulless doll.
After meeting the emperor, Anais did not go straight to work. She led Kylian to a small palace behind the villa where he used to stay.
“Why did you stop by here?”
Kylian was planning to go wherever Anais told him to go, so he silently followed her as she led him.
“Are you asking now?”
“…….”
Kylian didn’t know why she brought him here. He was still ashamed of his inability to be proud in front of the emperor, and thought that he was too inadequate to face her.
He tried so hard to make up the difference. He was miserable because it felt like all his efforts were for nothing.
Rumble!
“It looks like it’s going to rain.”
She didn’t seem to see Kylian as a man because she still remembered when he was still a weak child. His expression became increasingly dark, and Anais was looking at him with a bitter smile.
“Are you mad because of the mine?”
“…….”
“After all, it’s a bit of a waste to trade Kylian for a diamond mine, right?”
“What are you talking about!”
“No… Then why are you angry?”
“…I’m not angry.”
Anais sighed and looked at the wisteria trees in the distance from her.
Kylian hoped that Anais, who led him by holding the end of his sleeve, would hold his hand. He thought about getting the courage first, but didn’t take action because he thought he didn’t deserve it.
He felt like he would break down if he saw her displeased when he touched her.
“Kylian.”
Then Anais took his hand first. He thought he would just be happy when she reached out her hand first, but he was so overwhelmed that his heart ached.
“Kylian. This one.”
She showed him what she had taken out of her arms with her other hand. Kylian looked at Anais’ pretty hands and opened the box.
“This…”
“I fixed what I broke before.”
What was inside was the locket that Kylian’s mother left behind as a keepsake.
“I also changed the picture inside.”
He opened the locket necklace at her words. It contained a portrait of Kylian and a portrait of Lilith.
“Ha.”
Kylian’s heart seemed truly broken as he tore off Lilith’s picture inside the locket necklace with his hands.
“What are you doing?”
“I….”
Kylian’s voice was trembling.
Shwaaaa—
“Just how miserable are you planning to make me?”
