Chapter 76
Anais watched Kylian cry. The rain falling down on his cheek was quite heavy. She would not be able to see the tears mixed with the falling raindrops as they hit his skin. That was a good thing, she thought.
Turning her head, Anais sat down on the floor and started digging.
“What are you doing?”
“You were depressed last time. So I brought you here on purpose today.”
Anais held out her hand as if asking for the broken locket necklace to be returned. Then he obediently handed it over. He was careful because he felt like his emotions would overflow if he touched her hand.
Anais smiled as if she knew what he was thinking and dug the ground again. Kylian just stared at her, unable to figure out what she was doing.
“Why are you burying it in the ground?”
“Because it’s a treasure. Treasures should be hidden underground.”
“Didn’t you say that I am now your family, Anais?”
“You’re family. So, it would be nice to bury the memories here.”
He was puzzled by Anaïs’s words, but said nothing until she put down the necklace in a small box.
He was amazed when the music box made a sound when it was opened, so he listened carefully, then suddenly came to his senses and helped Anais dig deep into the ground.
“You’re getting dirt on you.”
“You’re the one already covered in dirt, Wife.”
“Because I already got it on me. It’s different for you, Kylian.”
“It’s no different.”
He and Anais both knelt down and touched the dirt, and of course their clothes got dirty.
“Ah…!”
Then their fingertips cross. Kylian had the urge to hold her hand and pulled away.
“Sorry. That’s why you told me you could do it alone.”
“No. That’s not what I meant…”
“Yes, I’m okay.”
He thought that if he held her hand, he wouldn’t be able to resist telling her he loved her. Kylian returned to the ducal residence alone. Because Anais had work to do and couldn’t go to the mansion with him.
He saw small cups placed in his room. They were hitting the rainwater and coloring the room with various tang, tang, tang! sounds.
“Ha.”
It was filled with the tenderness she clearly had for him. He had to hold back the trembling as he clenched his fists.
After that day, he was able to let go of all his bad memories of the rain. Because the thunder was no longer accompanied by his dead mother’s voice.
When Kylian got caught in the rain, he became distraught. Because the rain reminded him of the memories he made with Anais, and he could never forget how much he loved her.
He chose to love her even though she did not realize his love. It was sad that he didn’t get anything in return. The hope she gives him is greater than the sadness.
“What is this?”
“It is exactly what it says, Your Highness.”
There were several documents delivered. However, what had been conveyed in a haphazard manner until now was now conveyed straight away as if a clear conclusion had been reached.
He looked at the documents sent by the official who approached him several times.
Kylian was taking advantage of the increased number of ministers contacting him, perhaps due to the impending coup. If the coup were to succeed, he would become emperor. Duke Percival did not have imperial blood, and until stability was achieved after the coup, he needed imperial blood, even in name. That’s probably why he had kept Kylian alive until now. He didn’t think about what happened after that, but that was clear.
“My wife really wanted my relatives…”
“Yes.”
The document that was carried contained the plans of Duke and Young Duke Percival to deal with Kylian’s few remaining relatives. Kylian’s relatives had not much room to speak out, nor were they people who could be of help. All they had was the blood of the imperial family.
“It seems like the intention is to extinguish the flames by dealing with them before the coup.”
“There’s no way Anais would do that.”
“Just look at it.”
Kylian looked at the document once again. He couldn’t believe it at all.
He took the document and headed straight to Anais. He trusted Anais. Therefore, if there was any misunderstanding between him and her, he wanted to clear it up.
The Anais that Kylian knew was a strong and upright person. He was confident that she could not have done such a disappointing thing.
“Wife.”
“Ah, Kylian. What’s going on?”
She was looking at documents in her office. Anais seemed a little surprised that Kylian came in without knocking, but she was smiling broadly at him.
Kylian said, feeling even more relieved than he felt her smile.
“My subordinate brought these documents. Please review it.”
“Ah yes.”
He watched Anais take his papers and look at them blankly.
Surely, that document may be wrong. There was no way his wife would have relieved his relatives of their positions, taken away their territory, and sent them to the border without any reason.
Not without any reason.
“It’s true, Kylian.”
“What?”
“It’s true.”
“…….”
Kylian looked at her in surprise.
“Why did you do that?”
“Because I think that your relatives will get in the way after the coup.”
“So you just punished them for no reason?”
“That is within my authority.”
Anais said firmly.
“It would be good for you, Wife. Even if you handle it so coldly, no one will say anything.”
“…It doesn’t matter if you don’t trust me.”
Kylian wanted to believe in her even in this unbelievable situation. So, without saying anything more, he left the room.
