‘This is the first time.’
I don’t have much experience in treating anyone, but I knew that Dante’s case was not normal.
“Sera. Giselle’s schedule. Can you tell me now?”
“Sure.”
“Then, find out the time when Giselle would be away from Dante.”
Maybe I should see Dante again.
***
As Sera said, Dillian returned home in the evening.
As soon as he washed his sweaty body, Dillian went to Ria’s room and stopped while holding the doorknob at the sight unfolding in front of him.
“You came?”
“… Your face is gorgeous.”
Ria, who was lying on the bed with sliced cucumbers on her face, waved her hand.
He thought it was enough for her to only shake her hand like that, but the sight of her greeting him made him laugh.
“Why? Is it very weird?”
Ria, who didn’t know what her face looked like because she couldn’t look in the mirror, fumbled.
“You can’t. There is still time left.”
She lowered her hand at Sera’s words, but her fingers on her stomach twitched as if she was still concerned.
“It’s pretty.”
Dillian, who smiled at that appearance, sat on the bed and reached out toward her.
“If you opened your eyes and looked at me, it would have been prettier.”
Dillian lifted the cucumber that was covering her eyes. Ria frowned at the sudden brightening of her vision.
“Urgh, it’s dazzling.”
“Still dazzled now?”
Dillian raised his hand and created a shadow in front of Ria’s eyes.
With her eyes relaxed in the shallow shade, Ria turned her gaze to look at Dillian.
“Are you very busy today?”
“A little? Without miss Ria, it was even more difficult.”
Ria burst into laughter at Dillian’s weak sound.
“I’m sorry to hear that. I had fun though.”
“Do you like playing alone?”
Dillian threw the cucumber that covered Ria’s nose. The blown cucumber stuck to Nathan’s cheek.
“My feathers become damp!”
Nathan, who had accidentally got the pack, twitched his eyebrows.
Ria had her nose pinched by Dillian then wrinkled her eyes.
“Uh, let this go!”
Ria, who was unable to do anything because of the pack, widened her eyes, and revealed her teeth.
Avoiding Ria, who rushed to bite his finger, Dillian said.
“I have to go out tomorrow.”
“Again?”
“It looks like my grandfather made a scheme.”
Dillian sighed, saying he was caught up in a nuisance.
Perhaps he was planning to make use of Dillian, who came down to the territory after 3 years, and Terzhe took him and cut all the rotten roots in the estate.
It was an annoying situation for Dillian, as he was only looking at the snake-like vassals in a time when even the time for a date with Ria was not enough.
But when he saw Ria waiting for him, the feeling disappeared like snow.
“Are you having a hard time?”
“It’s too hard, so I’ll have to recharge it with miss Ria.”
“You look fine though?”
A look of suspicion pierced his cheek. Even then, Dillian was liking it.
“Ria-nim, it’s over now.”
After removing the pack, Sera trimmed her skin texture and cleaned up the surroundings.
Ria, who was stretching her stiff neck, looked at the coat that fell on her shoulder and blinked.
“Why is this?”
“I promised you to go see the garden today.”
“Yeah, but it’s night…?”
“You were upset you couldn’t see it with me, right?”
How can that…. There is only one place for words to leak.
She urgently looked for Sera, but she had long since left.
“I have to see your face back then, it’s a pity.”
“I never did. Forget it, I had a lot of time to look around the garden, so I already did it.”
Ria pretended not to know and ignored it. Of course, it was an excuse that even wouldn’t work.
“They said you were crying because you missed me so much.”
“What are you talking about! It wasn’t like that! I was just really curious about the garden, and it was just because we couldn’t see it together.”
“Ah, it’s a pity we couldn’t see ‘Together’ then.”
Ruined. Ria looked at Dillian’s twitching lips and closed her eyes tightly.
“We should have seen it together, just the two of us. Right?”
“… “
“I thought I was the only one thinking about miss Ria all day, but I didn’t know you were also thinking of me this far.”
“Ca, calm down.”
Ria stepped backwards, avoiding Dillian who was hurriedly approaching.
Ria, who was staggering backwards, bumped into the bed and sat down.
Ria screamed silently at Dillian, who was pressing down on top of her.
“Tomorrow, I will fill your head with me so you don’t even have to think about it.”
“Arrgh! You must be crazy!”
Ria covered her face as she screamed.
Contrary to Ria, who hated his actions, a playful face whispered in her ear.
“If you don’t like it, shall we go for a walk?”
“Go! Let’s go!”
Walk or workout on the moonlit night, everything is fine, so please just get out of bed.
Ria slammed the door with a blushing face.
***
Ria, who was worried about Dillian’s words that there was no need for a lamp, nodded at the bright full moon.
It was so bright that a thief could come in and be caught right away.
“If the garden was pretty, the atmosphere would be good, but the atmosphere that was created was already gone.”
Dillian looked at the garden and shook his head.
“That was not something that sir Dillian should say.”
At least there are flowers here, but the Duke’s mansion was overgrown with weeds.
“It was like that back then, but it was rumored that the greenhouse in the mansion is comparable to the greenhouse in the Great Temple now.”
To say that it was comparable to Aaron’s greenhouse was the highest compliment.
Ria shuddered at the words that lifted her up.
“Well, I raised sir Dillian’s eyes.”
“You’re right. I have become a body that I cannot live without miss Ria.”
“That was a misleading statement. Please cancel it.”
“My world is circling around miss Ria.”
“I’m going crazy.”
Dillian burst into a cool laugh at the cheerful cursing.
At 9 o’clock, the servants who passed by were surprised by the loud laughter and looked at them.
“Let’s go.”
They went deep into the garden, avoiding people’s eyes.
Ria, who was looking around at a new place that she had not seen during the day, pricked her ears.
“Do you hear the sound of water?”
“We were on the way there anyway.”
The place where Dillian led Ria arrived was the pond in the garden.
“There is a pond…?”
Ria’s mouth opened in the huge pond.
Ria was fascinated by the water transparent enough to see the bottom of the water and the lotus flowers blooming on it.
“There are carp too!”
Excited, Ria sat down on a stone and pointed at the bottom of the pond.
Dillian grabbed Ria’s waist in a close-knit position worrying that she would have been falling if she didn’t stand up properly.
“It’s deeper than you think.”
“Yeah, wouldn’t it be about knee-high?”
“The depth that reaches that knee, if you fall from the head first, you will struggle.”
How did he know? Because he had seen Lexter drowned.
When the Duke and Duchess were alive, they would come down to the estate every year to celebrate their birthday with Terzhe.
He has also met Lexter every time, and has seen his eccentricity every time.
Dillian remembered that it was quite funny, so he moved to a shallow place in fear of Ria falling.
Unlike before, Ria, sitting on a flat rock, asked impulsively.
“Can I soak my feet?”
With her self permission words, Ria had already taken off her shoes.
“I’ll soak it?”
“Be careful not to be eaten by the carps.”
“It’s so shallow here that carp can’t even come, though.”
Ria, who let Dillian make fun of her, dipped her feet in the pond.
Ria’s shoulders trembled in the cold water that made her bones shiver.
“It would be great if the summer comes.”
“Will we be here until summer?”
“Ouch, forget it. I’m going to choke because you have no sense.”
Ria, who was kicking her feet, tilted her head at the gaze that touched her cheek.
“Why?”
“The other side too.”
Dillian lightly grabbed Ria’s chin and looked over the other cheek.
“Is there something on my face?
“Fortunately, there’s no wound.”
“… Did you hear about it?”
She thought that if Dillian found out, he wouldn’t leave Giselle alone, so she hid it on purpose.
There were no eternal secrets.
“There is no use hiding it. Just as my grandfather’s eyes were planted everywhere, so are the ones I planted.”
“… It was a situation that the Count would be excited about. It would be strange for a child to suddenly cough, blood on his hands, and not lost mind.”
It became a situation to defend Giselle, but there was nothing she could do.
What if a wind of blood blows in the Duke’s castle?
They are still swearing at Dillian, like calling him a monster or something. She didn’t want to see Dillian cursed because of her.
“Don’t go to the Count for nothing and scratch her nerves again. I will take care of it.”
“Do you have any plans?”
“Yes, I will put a plan on Young Master Dante.”
The most important thing for Giselle is to cure Dante’s illness.
And that was the field in which Ria was most confident.
If she had cured Dante, there was a high probability that Giselle would not fight her any more.
‘If you get into an argument even after your son has been treated, then I’m really not going to let you go.’
It doesn’t matter if she ignores her as a commoner, but Ria didn’t like people who don’t know grace.
“About the Young Master. Do you know when he started getting sick?”
“It must have been three years. They said that he was cursed like me at first because he was suddenly sick.”
“It didn’t seem like a curse.”
“Yes, it is not a curse. Giselle would rather have wished it was a curse.”
If it was a curse, she would go to the temple and lift the curse. Giselle’s stomach burned with the passing of an unknown disease.
“Would you like me to set you up with Dante?”
“No, I will take care of that.”
This work had to be done on her own.
‘That way, even the mighty Giselle will recognize me.’
At that moment, when she was burning brightly saying she would make Giselle by her side, she heard a tickling laughter in her ear.
“It’s great. You are reliable.”
It wasn’t just a talk. Dillian genuinely thought Ria was cool.
If it were him, he would immediately draw his sword and rule it with blood.
But Ria came up with the completely opposite method.
In her warm and gentle way.
It was a method that Dillian would never have thought of or even tried.
“I fall for you once again.”
Ria’s face began to turn red at the plain words that were neither teasing nor seducing.
Buried in the darkness, Dillian couldn’t see it, but Ria knew at once that a fever had risen on her face.
Thump, Thump, Thump.
She heard a drumbeat in her heart .
She was afraid that Dillian would hear that sound.
‘It’s because Sera makes strange noises.’
Why does she become conscious so much just by hearing it’s love?
Ria, who was suddenly conscious of Dillian, secretly moved a bit and spread the distance.
But he wasn’t Dillian to only watch over it.
Then a strong arm wrapped around Ria’s waist.
‘This is the first time.’
I don’t have much experience in treating anyone, but I knew that Dante’s case was not normal.
“Sera. Giselle’s schedule. Can you tell me now?”
“Sure.”
“Then, find out the time when Giselle would be away from Dante.”
