Now that I knew the current situation of my parents. I can now ease my mind.
That goddamn bastard! I think I'm still too soft when I torture people. I didn't made him speak out the real truth?
But, he told the truth. It's just didn't happen as he said since they manage to escape from execution.
Wait, if they escape won't that mean the Duke will return?!
No way I can't let that happen! I have already made plans regarding the future, I can't just give up now!
"Won't that mean if they return, our marriage will be canceled?"
I ask my girlfriend whose currently blushing from my earlier words. However, when she heard my question, she immediately switch from a maiden in love to a serious office lady!
"N-No, Of course not! I won't let them even if they return! In the first place, since they escape from the king. They should've been under pursue!"
Oh right! They're currently being treated as fugitive which means they can't return! But I have to prepare for their investigation since it's invetible to be interrogated by them.
They will thoroughly question me and squeeze me until nothing was left. But if I prepare, everything will be okay. Unless, they touch my princess of course!
I simply smile from the angry refute of my fiancée. It seems she's fully attached to me just after what happened last night. Though, I still need to teach her more so I can have her for myself!
But first, we should talk to our sister of course. I need to make something clear or else the hate will remain in her heart since I just blatantly refuse her request and tried to abandon our parents.
"I'll be going to my sister then, I can't make her sulk all day just because of our little silly fight. I'll bring her here,"
I approach the face of my fiancée and give her a kiss. She then gladly accepted it and turn red after our lips touch. Then she hold it with her fingers after we parted.
Just want happen to her from the past days we've been together? I didn't teach her that much yet!
And also, we barely made anything out of ordinary last night! I mean it's just a missionary and nothing else! A wholesome and peaceful love-making session!
After that, I stand up from my sit and left the room leaving my fiancée beet red.
After marching not too long, I immediately arrive in front of my sister's room. However, now that I think about it, she left the room earlier after our argument.
So before I could even knock, I retrieve my hands and walk towards the stair.
As I walk through the hallway, I find servants whispering to each other, gossiping about something while blushing.
But as soon as they saw me, they stop slacking and continue their assigned jobs.
I pay it no heed and merely smile wickedly as I thought about my plan to spread the news with my fiancée was successful. With this, I can tell everyone of them that Ela is mine! Even that bastard commoner. Now, what can you do about that!?
And so, I arrive with a bright mood in the kitchen where my personal maid is currently preparing food with the other servants. I look around to find my sister only to see her cutting an onion looking vegetable clumsily.
What are they even doing? If I use the time sense in my former world, it should be 1500 hour as of the moment? Are they making snacks?
Ohh, I love snacks!
"Olivia, can we talk?" my voice ring to my servants ear as they notice me standing at the door. They immediately stop their work and bow towards me as a form of respect.
The only one who didn't bow is my sister whose still cutting onions. She didn't even bother to look at me after hearing my words.
"I have news about father and mother. You can stop what you're planning."
The moment I said it, she immediately turn her head towards me and glare while holding the kitchen knife. I don't know but I feel threaten seeing her hold the knife!
"Firstly, put down the knife." my sister raise her left brow and examine my body as I sweat furiously.
"Olivia, I don't have time to waste. Come with me to my room so I can tell you about it."
"Why can't it be here?" Sometimes, I just feel irritated hearing her tone. I can't really take children's attitude.
"Just come with me, I promise I will tell you if you do."
My sister simply shrug her shoulder and put down the knife. She then approach me while putting the apron off and stop in from of me then cross her arms.
"If you ever try to say something to comfort me brother, I will be sure to hate you forever!"
W-What! Is that a threat?! Surely not right? I mean if it's a threat , that's just too cute to be one!
"Okay, I promise this will be true. I even have a proof!"
And so, we head off from the kitchen.
We then arrive in front of our room and enter it revealing Ela, whose currently sipping a tea at her balcony while admiring the beautiful colors of the garden.
It seems she wait quite a long time.
"Ela, I've brought her." I speak out to her as I approach my fiancée and sit in front of her. Then she invited me and Olivia for a tea.
My sister's still currently have a sour mood making my fiancée smile wryly and look at me.
I didn't do anything wrong! In fact if you heard what I actually said, you would probably fall harder for me! Probably.
"Olivia, we receive a letter from her father, the Duke." I soon broke the awkward silence between us.
"And? What does have to do anything about father and mother?"
"The movement of the execution, it really did happen. However, the Duke escape from the capital along with our parents." Before she could even release her anger again, I immediately added the good news so I won't be able to hear her rants.
My sister then made a shocking face. She have a wide eyes and her jaw drop upon hearing my words.
I find it adorable for her to look like that compare to her usual face. It's like I just gave her the best give she ever had!
"Where are they now!?" then she suddenly stand up from her seat and slam both of her hands to the table making my fiancée startle a bit and almost drop her teacup.
"C-Calm down, dear sister." my fiancée scolded my sister.
Realizing what she have done. She immediately turn red and return to her usual expression.
I chuckle a bit as I look at both of them. Ela whose furrowing her eyebrow while scolding my sister and Olivia lowering her head after being scolded.
I remember them with the former owner's memory of my mother and Olivia fighting over some etiquette lesson.
"That's right, Olivia. You should calm down. About our parents, they're actually fine as the message said but they're currently under pursue by the king, and so, we can't meet them easily."
I heard a sigh when I proudly said my parents situation. When I open my eyes, I see my sister smiling happily as if being reassured.
I'm glad it works!
"If you want, you can read the content of the message. However we can only let you read some of it because they're a secret only for us!"
"No, I'm fine brother. Thank you!" She then smile brightly at me.
D-Damn!!!
My heart! Help! I'm dying! Cuteness overload! How can this be? Why am I too weak!
I touch my chest as I fall down from my seat making both of the girls panic. However it was merely an act so I assure them and pat both of their heads.
"T-That's really dangerous, I don't think I can take any more of this!"
"What is?"
And as if worsening my condition, my sister then bent her head sideward and touch her lips while making a confuse look.
P-please, no more!
"V- Verian, you should get up. I think the servants can see you from below,"
Oh right. That will certainly bad if they see my weaknesses. Well, it doesn't really matter!
"I think you should also stop from calling me by my name though? I mean we'll be getting married, right?" upon hearing my suggestion, my fiancée then blush and lowered her heads from embarrassment.
The probability of us getting married sooner is quite high despite the issue and problems we just faced. I also want to be called by something cheesy name such as darling, dear, or honeypie.
Oh my God, what am I saying!?
"I-I will try. D-D-D-Dear..."
Gahaaaah!
My heart! Help! I need a doctor!! Oh right, it doesn't exist in this era.
I need a Healer!! Help, I'm dying!!
My fiancée saw my reaction and gets redder. I sometimes find it really sexy and appealing for her when she turn to an office lady aura. But no one can beat a meek maiden who will let herself be dominated!
Ehem...
Let's stop, my fiancée is probably dying from embarrassment as of now. And I can't let that happen!
And so, we continue our discussion albeit unrelated to the former topic.
Our conversation finished around dusk. The laughing and shouting can be heard from our balcony as we joke around and learn more of our past experiences.
I told my sister about my life when I left the house. But when my fiancée heard the detail about it. She began to sulk and act suspiciously.
However, I am not as dense as Verian(the former owner of the body) so I immediately identified the cause of her sad mood and brighten her by reassuring her that she will always be my number one. Though I never said she will be the only girl I will love!
Also, polygamy is morally acceptable in this era. Some parts and countries in this continent or even in the Eastern continent practice such thing. They even have incest practices!
I told them about how my personal maid betray me leaving me a bad taste in my mouth when I remember the scene where the man, my former servant, betray me.
That really enrage me, but because of that, I met my fiancée and now living happily with her in these relaxing days.
"V- Verian... I-I mean, d-dear!"
"Yes?" My meek lover come back to her usual self.
"A-after dinner... Uhm.. C-can... Can we take a B-bath together?!" She ask and blush.
I find it adorable and simply smile and nodded as a form of answer.
"Of course," Then I left the room to head towards the study. I need to check my staff if they're doing a good job.
However, as soon as I left the room with my sister. My maid greet as with a dark expression.
Oh, she's here?
Oh she's here?! That just mean that... Oh, she heard everything!
Well, it doesn't matter. And I don't need to feel guilty from something. I just told the truth!
"What are you doing here, Cilia? Shouldn't you be at the kitchen preparing for dinner?"
"A-Ah yes, I apologize master,"
Hmm? Seems she's quite out of it. Is she thinking about what I said at the balcony?
"I-I'll be going then, brother... Ha-ha" She laugh awkwardly and escape from my question as she run towards the direction of her room.
I was extremely confuse as to why they act like that. However, I need to prioritze my territory's affair and their problem can wait.
