On the day he visited the Imperial Palace, when he saw Yulia voluntarily entered my bedroom and lying on the floor, he felt a strange feeling for some reason.
So I called a doctor and had her treated. It wouldn't matter at all whether he fell ill or died. No, it would have been better for me if I had died.
So, in the end, the emotion of that moment must have been close to a fleeting pity.
remorse. It was a word that seldom suited him.
'cold… .'
She hadn't woken up for several hours, and she was excited about the medicine and started talking nonsense.
After such a long time, he woke up and called out to him with hazy, wet eyes.
'… majesty?'
When I saw it, I felt a strange feeling for a moment.
A woman with uncomfortably clean eyes. She is a woman who looks like a marquise, but doesn't resemble her.
Unlike the Marquis, who was easy to understand, she was a woman who was hard to understand.
So, when I tried to interrogate him in a slightly vulgar way, she pushed him away with a face that looked like she was about to cry.
'I just... I just had something to say. I didn't come here hoping for this... .'
As she rushed out of bed, she stumbled and collapsed.
I don't know why the crouched, trembling little body seemed so soft for a moment.
Seeing him struggling to get himself up, why did he feel guilty?
Feeling guilty, it was absurd. She only flirted with this woman for a moment when she looked like that.
Enough to show you an unreasonable favor and accompany me to the marquis.
Even if time overflowed, he scatters the time he would not have given to Marquis Elodie in the air.
Yes, it was clear that something was written on it for a while.
"I, my lord… That's not what I saved... ."
Julia looked at him with a desperate expression. He has clear, watery eyes, as always.
"… under."
How many people have you deceived with this innocent face? The number will probably not be small. Because he was almost captivated for a moment.
When I thought that I might have taken some medicine and held this woman like an animal, ridicule came out of me.
It wasn't a great path for Fernando to find out how this happened.
It was only by chance that the three marquis, who had been planted in the marquise the other day, had a conversation between the marquis and Julia.
'Your Majesty, Marquis Elodie has secretly made contact with His Majesty the Bishop. Here, I have written down some of the conversation.'
Just before the marquise left me, the king had quietly delivered a note to Fernando.
In other words, the Marquis asked Yulia whether to use the 'medicine', and Yulia replied that she would use it sooner or later.
After reading the letter, Fernan immediately sent someone to the siege to search through Julia's residence.
And as soon as she returned to the siege, she was given a vial and a letter stating that it had been found in her room.
This drug was likely to be used for those with so-called sexual dysfunction, but it was secretly circulated among some aristocrats because it was mixed with narcotic substances such as hallucinogens.
It meant that it was not just a drug that ended at the level of elevating the desire.
"I never had any intention of using that drug. I was going to throw it away right now... ."
Yulia shrugged in fear, stammering, claiming my innocence.
"That doesn't matter to me."
Fernan intercepted her words and opened the stopper of the medicine bottle.
As he slowly tilted his hand, the contents wet Julia's dress and poured down at her feet.
The white dress began to get wet all over.
"The point is, I have no reason to respect you anymore."
The tears in Julia's eyes looking down at the dress slowly turned red.
Looking at her like that, Fernando threw the empty medicine bottle at random.
Yulia withdrew her body at the sharp sound, looking up at Fernan and licking her lips.
"majesty… ."
Ignoring her words, Fernan turned and walked.
With the sound of the door slamming hard, his figure disappeared completely.
* * *
"Look at that. You are here again."
"You're going to be ignored anyway, so why do you keep coming?"
Yulia entered the main hall, ignoring the gossip of the maids.
For several days already, she had been waiting for Fernando in time for his departure.
Although Fernando completely ignored her and refused to listen, Julia nevertheless tried her best to try to have a conversation.
He was misleading enough, and he deserved his anger.
However, I didn't want to let him misunderstand him like this.
"I see you, Grand Duke."
Entering the lobby, Fernando passed the users indifferent as usual. And Julia, who was standing at the end, also walked past.
Julia hurriedly followed him as he exited the doorway.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute."
In a hurry, he grabbed his hand, and Fernan, who stopped just then, looked back at her with a cold gaze.
While holding one of his hands tightly with both hands, Julia looked up at him with a droopy face.
"It's okay for a moment. talk with me... ."
"Just do it in moderation."
A shrill voice intercepted her words.
"Did you not tell me? Please refrain from coming to me like this in the morning."
"… If it's not this time, I won't be able to see His Majesty. I have something to tell you... ."
As Julia opened her mouth firmly, Fernan's gaze grew even colder.
"Why can't you understand me once I say it?"
"… … ."
"I don't want to respect you any more, so don't do anything and just sit quietly in your bedroom."
He frowned as if he was showing the greatest mercy.
Julia made eye contact with him pretending to be okay, but she couldn't hide her trembling hands.
Users, both you and me, were already watching this situation with interest.
The fact that Fernando was not very fond of my wife had already been well-researched among users.
But I hope you hate it this much. Fernan's eyes on his wife were cold and bloody.
"If you wanted to make me feel bad in the morning, I succeeded."
Indifferently, Fernando shook off her hand that was holding me lightly.
Yulia flinched and watched his back as he left the doorway, trembling with his left hand.
The small whispers of the users were lodged in my ears. They glanced at Julia and then dispersed in all directions.
Standing alone in the lobby that became quiet in an instant, Yulia turned with a calm face.
There was no time to get hurt and cringe. She repeated her promises that she had made over and over in her mind.
I promise to do my best as the Grand Duchess and try my best to be of any help to Fernando.
I don't know if this will clear up his misunderstanding, but I thought I'd do something.
First, read the books, look around the inside of the castle to see if there are any areas that need repairs, and if you still have time... .
"Rain, my lord rain… . Are you okay?"
As I went up the stairs in thought, Melissa ran up to me with a surprised face from afar.
Melissa, who was bewildered, took out a handkerchief and placed it around Julia's eyes.
Julia had a calm expression like someone who didn't even know that my face was all wet.
"Sir, please go back to your room first. yes?"
Yulia wiped her eyes and blinked slowly. For some reason, this situation did not come true as if the world had exploded.
Melissa, who comforts me, and the tears that keep leaking out.
"Thank you, Melissa. I'm fine, so you can go and do business."
It was really good. This was tolerable. I couldn't figure out why I suddenly burst into tears.
Talk to him properly, and after a little while, everything will be fine.
For a brief moment, I believed the favor he had shown me.
He believed that the feelings he had for taking care of himself and giving time to him would still remain in him.
He may have only now been able to look back on himself, but he couldn't get away so easily again.
Julia steadfastly climbed the remaining stairs.
At that moment, the evil words that the Marquis had been saying like a habit passed through her ears.
'Don't even assume that your life will change just because you become the Grand Duchess. No matter how much you hide that you are an illegitimate child, you can't hide the basics.'
'With the theme of low birth, I don't think I'm dreaming of happiness, right?'
Yulia shook her head, wiping out the tears that kept covering her eyes and the evil voice that penetrated into her ear.
are you okay. everything will be fine As if brainwashed into her, she bit her so hard that her blood spurted from her lips.
