[Episode 63]
‘You just said everything openly!’
It was a sound everyone could hear.
The emperor’s aides probably already knew about it, but the servants didn’t respond much.
However, they were only sending astonished glances at Lucillion, who ignored Enosh’s glances.
“Kidnapped…? Who dares to take the prince of an empire…”
Only Lillian Daisy was surprised that the prince had been kidnapped.
“That’s not it, young lady…”
The embarrassed Enosh stood up and licked her lips, then looked at Lucillion with a distorted face.
“you…! An insignificant commoner who doesn’t even dare to be petted a little…! Hey, take this guy right away and cut off that light tongue…!”
“If you try to be honest after death, you won’t be able to reach it.”
“what…?”
“Before you die, be honest.”
I hurriedly approached Lucillion and shook the hem of his robe.
“Hey what’s wrong!”
“Ah… I’m sorry… Were you offended by any chance? I’m sorry…”
As I stiffened and argued, Lucillion’s expression blurred for a moment, then he hurriedly knelt down and rubbed the back of my hand on his cheek.
“Don’t hate me, Master.”
I shook my head, a little taken aback by Lucillion lowering himself to the point of embarrassment.
“No, I don’t hate you…”
“Really?”
“Hmm, it’s like this.”
“thank you.”
Lucillion, smiling broadly, kissed the back of my hand and stood up, glancing at Enosh.
“Your Highness, they say that even if you become desperate, what you can’t get is the human heart… Where are you going to use your pride in the face of dying?”
Lucillion held me in his arms.
“Then we will go.”
“Wait a minute… Oh sister! I’ll be back in two days, so will you come too?!”
“…Me?”
Lillian Daisy took one look at me and then glanced at Enosh.
Enosh slowly lifted his head as if he had lost his mind and glared at Lucillion, then frowned.
Seeing that expression, Lillian Daisy shut her mouth.
“I’m sorry, but I…”
“If you have time, I’d like you to join me.”
said Enosh, interrupting Lillian Daisy.
At Enosh’s unexpected words, Lillian Daisy widened her eyes in embarrassment.
I was confused as well. I didn’t know Enosh would say such a thing.
I didn’t know that the arrogant and noble boy who had matured prematurely would bend himself.
‘I thought he was putting up an iron wall because he was embarrassed and didn’t know how to treat him.’
Lillian Daisy glanced at me. I nodded coldly.
“…Since His Highness, your prince, invited me, of course I will go.”
Enosh wanted to add something, so I shook my head. He looked at me disapprovingly, then closed his mouth and nodded.
“Then come to us!”
I hurriedly tapped Lucillion on the shoulder. Then he quickly turned around.
‘I’m tired…’
The role of Cupid of love was not planned.
‘I don’t know.’
It’s going to be the same as the broken original anyway.

“Why are you looking so hard, daughter?”
“dad? Herb book bar!”
Erno Etam nodded as he glanced over the book the emperor had given him.
“Yes, these days, the wagon wheels have been worn out to and from the imperial castle. Did you like the prince?”
Is it my misunderstanding that I can somehow feel a disquieting energy from the bright asking face?
“It’s Chingguna.”
“Friend…”
“Yes!”
“Does it really need to be a man and a member of the royal family?”
Erno Etam asked affectionately with a more stern face.
‘…He seems uncomfortable.’
As a result of living with him, Erno Etam’s laughter was definitely different.
Of course, there were times when I laughed because I was in a really good mood, but most of the time I laughed because I was in a bad mood or I didn’t like it.
“But…”
“Of course, if your daughter wants to do it, you should. I am not forcing you.”
“Yes…”
I was wondering if I could save Enosh these days.
Since it is a fantasy world, I was obviously wondering if there was a special herb.
‘There is nothing that comes to mind in the novel…’
Erno Etam sat down on the bed as I was silent. The bed made a lot of noise.
He threw me on the bed and sat me on his lap.
“Dad Enoshi is dying?”
“You mean the second prince?”
“yes.”
“…”
Erno Etam did not answer at once.
In the past, he would have told me honestly that he would surely die sooner or later.
But he has changed.
He often had long silences when he tried to give me an answer.
Knowing that it was affection, sometimes I couldn’t stand it because my stomach tickled.
I buried my face into his chest.
‘It’s like a dream…’
It was like a dream that someone thought through each word so that I wouldn’t get hurt.
Even the fact that that person is my father…
“I heard that he is not in very good shape. But… I heard that he passed the hurdles well every year.”
I just closed my eyes at Erno Etam’s kind lie that leaked out after a while.
If the original story continues as it is, Enosh will die this winter.
Even if the medicine I gave you helped a little bit, I wouldn’t be able to get past the next year.
The parasites, which did not show symptoms and disappeared, simply aggravated Enosh’s illness a little.
“Did you look at the plant encyclopedia because you wanted to cure that child’s disease?”
“yes.”
“I didn’t know my daughter would be interested in herbalism, too.”
“It’s a little bit.”
Actually, I really liked herbs, but it was because I didn’t have any other hobbies in my previous life.
“What disease is Enoshi?”
“Since the second prince was born weak, no doctor could find out the name of the disease.”
In fact, it seems that the name of the bottle did not appear in [mouth.yang.gak].
‘Looking at the plant encyclopedia won’t give you an answer.’
Did my expression look pretty depressed?
Erno Etham sat me right down and rubbed my forehead lightly against my forehead.
“Daughter.”
“Yes…”
“There is no need for you to make such a sad face for something that can’t be helped. I’ll try asking again.”
“Really?”
“okay.”
“It’s cunning…”
As I hugged Erno Etam tightly with my short arms, he smiled softly and patted me on the back.
“There is no need to embrace many things alone. You just need to grow up.”
“…yes.”
“Come to think of it, do you know Duke Colin by any chance?”
“Ugh… yes.”
Richard had completely forgotten.
Obviously, he’s not usually angry. Don’t forget to write a letter .
I scratched my head and moaned lowly.
“Daughter, if he dies, will there be any trouble for you?”
“yes…?”
“I’m asking just in case. There are many unexpected accidents in the world.”
You mean to kill him
‘Why all of a sudden…?’
Erno Etam smiled and stroked my hair gently.
“Oh no…”
First of all, I hate that I can’t make Richard an orphan again and that my father is a murderer.
Erno Etam’s hand stopped abruptly.
“…no? why?”
“It’s Chi Ching-gu… It’s sad when Dad writes…”
“Oh, yes. Then just hold your breath…”
He murmured very softly.
Of course, he said that he mumbled quietly, but I heard it very clearly in my ears.
“What did you do with your father and uncle?”
“mister…?”
“yes.”
“Hmm.”
It seemed that Erno Etam’s shoulders were slightly proud.
But soon Erno Etham was quiet.
He let out a short sigh, frowned like a child, and shut his mouth.
“dad?”
Erno Etam’s shoulders twitched when I looked up. He let out a short sigh and finally opened his mouth.
“I wanted to adopt my daughter, so I went to ask the emperor for permission, but Duke Colin said he had already completed the process to adopt you.”
“…yes?”
Did Duke Colin do that?
Obviously, I had heard the offer of becoming siblings with Richard, but I hadn’t answered it.
The reason I couldn’t answer at that time was probably because I still had lingering feelings for Erno Etam.
“So I’m going to take away custody by killing you or maiming you. Which do you prefer?”
He asked with a smile as if he were saying something very obvious.
