Across the expansive garden, Rosalind led Olivia directly to the third floor, the guest room. She went up the stairs as she explained the rooms on the way. And the moment she steps her foot into the hallway on the third floor.
“Pfft…….”
A voice that seemed to laugh at her came from behind. Rosalind doubted her own ears and turned her head to Olivia.
“You don’t have to make an effort to introduce the place.”
She looked at Olivia as Rosalind was puzzled.
“It’s a place I’ve been to since I was a kid. I went for a walk in the large, beautiful garden, and read books in the library.”
A fresh, faint smile on her lips was strangely directed towards Rosalind.
“Looking back, it reminds me of my memories with Brother. It was so much fun that I still remember it clearly when I close my eyes. Does the Madam have any memories of being with the Duke in this castle??”
As her eyes stared at Rosalind, she absently rolled up the hem of her dress.
It was her responsibility to guide and introduce the castle, as she was Kyle’s wife and the Mistress. It was also a place of deeper meaning to Rosalind, as it was her surname, where he and she herself are raising a home. She wanted to build memories with him one by one here…….
“Memories??”
There is such a thing as precious memories that she can remember even when she closed her eyes.
“Oh, you haven’t been here for a long time, have you?? How long has it been??”
“About a year.”
“It’s been longer than I thought. I thought it’d barely be half a year.”
Rosalind looked at her, startled by the sudden chill of the voice. The mood and tone were at times completely different from those Olivia had with Kyle, but above all, there was a certain hostility. When she saw Olivia at the wedding, it just felt a little chilly, but today it was too much.
“…… I beg your pardon??”
“I have seen the Duke, no, Brother for a very long time. So I know better than anyone. You both don’t love each other. At least Brother, am I wrong??”
Still, she didn’t want to deal with the sarcastic remarks that were complicating her head.
“That was a rude question. Perhaps you have become sensitive because you have come a long way. Take a break and we’ll talk again later. If there is anything inconvenient, please call me or the maid.”
“Tomorrow, I should eat something delicious with my brother and look around. Reminiscing about the childhood we spent together here.”
Olivia answered without heeding Rosalind’s words. There was an exhilarating voice that hummed.
“You know that cousin are legally allowed to marry, right?? My brother and I are not even blood related.”
The words that they are not blood related seemed to stick in her ears. Rosalind swallowed her breath.
Although Olivia was now of age, she had not yet accepted anyone’s proposal.
Shortly after her debut, she took over the social world, and despite rumours of her beauty that reached the Capital, she refused the marriage proposals. When Olivia said this to herself, she felt a strange sense of crisis. And, when she felt such a sense of crisis, she laughed at herself.
Rosalind was obviously the wife, so why couldn’t she calmly pass such a childish provocation??
“Did you not know that the Duke was an adopted *****child*****?? The two of you are a married couple, so of course, you must have heard about his childhood, right??”
She quietly clasped her hand. The bold voice made her angry without realising it, though she tried to catch her breath to keep it from appearing. She thought she would be pushed back if she showed her resentment.
“Sure. I know from the Duke.”
It was a lie.
She knew, but she hadn’t heard of it from him directly.
She knew, but she hadn’t heard of it from him directly.
In fact, that was all she had heard from her father. He was an adopted child. However, Kyle didn’t tell her anything about her own past.
“I have been with the Duke since the time he was adopted. The Duke considers me special. We have a lot of time and precious memories between us.”
“That sounds misleading, Olivia.”
“It’s not misleading, it’s the truth. He’s the person I’ve wanted for a long time.”
Olivia’s eyes were clearly on Rosalind.
“Aren’t marriages without love difficult to last??”
“You don’t know about marriage because you haven’t done it, so you can’t talk about marriage so easily with just the feeling of love. It’s not just a meeting of two people. Not only the family, but also the one born between the two…”
Rosalind couldn’t even utter the word “child,” she flinched. The child born between him and her… Rather, it felt like her breath was being squeezed by the words she spit out unconsciously.
As she hesitated, her voice pierced softly.
“Do you know how kind and warm the Duke is?”
“I know.”
“Lies.”
“Don’t lie.”
Then, as if knowing everything, Olivia chuckled.
Olivia’s smile was so light, yet it seemed like Rosalind was going to go crazy because she was overwhelmed.
