245 – Happy End of Year – 2
I was just sitting in bed blankly. After hearing Billy’s words, I didn’t even have the strength to move.
It is said that Carl is engaged. It is also said that she finally became engaged to Princess Marghetta, and the child who now became her prospective daughter-in-law in name and reality.
Despite the appearance of a variable called Ma Jong-gong, the child is still walking the path of his first wife. He has been alone for more than twenty years, but he is a child who has finally made a partner. He is a child who deserves to be celebrated more than anyone else. They are enough children to receive congratulations from everyone.
‘It’s not me.’
But there is no place for me among the people celebrating. Even if everyone congratulates me, I don’t deserve it.
Of course. What qualifications do I have in the meantime-
‘No.’
I hurriedly shook my head at the endless gloomy thoughts.
He must have been unable to contact Carl because of circumstances. Didn’t Billy do the same? It was a very sudden engagement, an engagement that just ended. I wouldn’t have had time to contact you.
Yes, Carl is a busy kid. It’s because I haven’t had time to talk yet.
– I’m sorry all of a sudden, but what would you like a gift for the lady?
Remembering the conversation I had with Carl not too long ago, I smiled spontaneously.
I believe. Even if I did something bad to that child, and he hates me, I have nothing to say, but we are getting closer little by little.
That child who is more mature than me is reaching out to a mother like me.
‘Let’s not worry about it.’

Like Billy said in the first place, it’s a rumor that will spread even if you hide it. If they had tried to hide it, they would have proceeded with the engagement in some other way.
So don’t worry about it. Let’s trust that child. If he doesn’t even believe in the child, how can I claim to be a mother?
– Mother.
And that belief soon turned into happiness.
‘It must have been because I was really busy.’
A smile almost came out of Carl’s embarrassed face. I shouldn’t be like this, but that embarrassed expression was so amazing and nice.
A child who has rarely expressed emotions since childhood shows emotions in front of me. He is trying to inform me of his engagement urgently.
If you think about it, it can be said that it is an ordinary family. Isn’t it natural for children to show their feelings to their parents and announce the news of their engagement?
‘It wasn’t us.’
For the past 20 years, I have lived without knowing the obvious.
But naturally, riding the wind of a miracle, he came to my side.
“Sure, Carl. What’s up?”
So I was able to laugh. We still have a long way to go, but we’re on our way anyway.
***
Feels like missing something. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before I found out about it.
“After the New Year’s ceremony, I will go to Tylglehen. I want to greet my parents-in-law again.”
Marghetta speaks with a slightly blushing face. She stroked her hair at the sight and nodded her head.
“That’s right. The eldest son finally got engaged, so they know… Hey…”
As she spoke, she noticed a strange feeling.
The eldest son, heir to the family. Engagement of such an heir. An aristocratic marriage that is an extension of politics. In fact, apart from the nobility, it is the law for any person to inform their family of the news of a marriage. Engagement is also a ‘marriage’ promise, so keep it within that scope.
By the way, did I tell the family about the engagement?
‘This shit.’
I didn’t. It had never been done to the head of household, mother, or at least to Erich.
Honestly, it’s an established fact that I’m getting married to Marghetta, but isn’t it another matter to be engaged and keep my mouth shut?
“A knife?”
Then, as I froze as I stroked his hair, Marghetta tilted his head. The same goes for Louise and Irina, who used to walk together.
“Mar.”
“Yes, please.”
“How would you feel as a parent if your child didn’t talk about their engagement?”
At those words, Marghetta also hardened. With eyes that can’t be trusted.
“…Didn’t you tell me yet?”
“Yes…”
“Not even once in the few days I stayed at Ulken?”
“Yes…”
The gaze went down little by little.
The engagement was officially concluded today, but wasn’t the reason you went to Ulken for the engagement? There was plenty of time to speak.
But I didn’t say it. The reason doesn’t matter. I just forgot.
“I was also distracted while I was in Ulken…”
“You know it’s an excuse, right?”
I couldn’t refute Marghetta’s resolute words. Even I thought it was a cowardly excuse.
My eyes were still on the floor because of a sense of shame. Marghetta’s eyes, which had always been warm and gentle, were as stinging as they were now.
Varenti values family. From Marghetta’s point of view, a member of Varenti, her son who keeps silent about the news of their engagement must be a culture shock.
“Do it now. You can’t put off doing something like this.”
It was obvious, so I quickly pulled out the communication tool. If I postponed this and forgot it again, wouldn’t it be left as an unfilial child that will go down in the history of the empire?
No, this is beyond the level of fire. The filial son Carl Krasius. Her heart grows tight
She called her mother while receiving the mysterious gazes of the three women. It’s right to tell the head of state, but as a civil servant, I’m well aware of the annoyance of the year-end work. Don’t touch it at the end of the year.
So, automatically, she was left with only her mother.
– Yeah, Carl. What’s happen?
And when she saw her mother with her thin smile, the triangle in her heart moved furiously.
Crying… Geumhyoja cries…
“That’s it, mother, that’s—”
But apart from the triangle, the mouth couldn’t move at all.
Common sense would say, ‘I ended my engagement today, but I forgot to tell you. Please know it now.’ How many babies can confidently say that?
– I heard it. Engaged to Princess Marghetta?
“…Yes.”
I can’t even raise my head if I heard the news of the engagement through someone else before my son even said it.
– That’s a good thing. The future of Krasius is finally bright.
Even so, her mother never reprimanded her. She was honestly prepared to be reprimanded by her family for being ridiculous, but she just opened her mouth with a smile on her face.
On the contrary, it hurt me even more. I’d rather get angry if I get angry.
As if she knew how I felt, my mother calmly continued.
– Don’t take it to heart. Even from your point of view, you must have been in no mood to say that it was a sudden engagement. Even Erich knew that you were going to the island.
She almost nodded her head inadvertently at her warm words, but felt Marghetta’s gaze and held back.
Here she felt that if she passed like water, Marghetta would mistreat her instead of her mother.
“No. I should have told you at least as soon as the engagement was over. I’m sorry. I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen in the future.”
At those words, the mother let out a small laugh.
– Yes. When it comes to weddings, tell me first.
“…Yes.”
There was a brief delay in replying. Just now, I was talking about an engagement ceremony that I think will be held four more times, not a wedding ceremony.
Of course, I couldn’t say that at this timing. I have a clue too.
– Can you come to the manor when the time is right?
“Of course. I was just talking about it with Mar.”
-Your daughter-in-law already thinks of her mother-in-law.
She laughed awkwardly at the strangely bone-infused words.
She quietly put her communication device into her arms and turned to Marghetta. Then Margheta nodded her head solemnly.
“Good job.”
It was like a judge giving a verdict of not guilty, so I laughed a little.
“But like Carl said, we have to make sure this doesn’t happen in the future, okay?”
“Of course. Don’t worry.”
She deliberately exaggerated her words, but Marghetta’s gaze was still complex and delicate.
Since he’s already made a mistake once, he probably thinks he can do it twice. It wasn’t a bad judgment, but his heart ached a little.
“Even my older brother sometimes makes mistakes.”
“Because I am human too.”
And thanks to Louise’s intrusion, the pain in her chest was able to end right away. I wouldn’t have been able to endure it if I only received stinging glances in silence, but thank you.
“hehehe, I thought you were a good person from the beginning.”
It was so naive that I burst into laughter again. If you look at my early bureaucratic life, you wouldn’t have said that.
I, who had just become a bureaucrat, and who had just become a manager, showed off my bizarre footsteps. When I think about it now, I wonder how I am still alive.
“There is no one who does well right from the start. Everyone grows up through experience.”
Yes, you grow while experiencing. This situation happened because it was my first time with my family and my first engagement. But now they are also engaged. I also tried to report it to my family.
So, when you get engaged to Prince Mahjong, Louise, Irina, and the 1st section manager, you have to do it properly. If you repeat the same mistake twice, it’s not a mistake, it’s an intelligence problem.
‘I don’t have a sense, I don’t have a brain.’
This time, it was a mistake that the head disappeared temporarily, but there will be no such mistakes in the future. Become an engagement specialist – Carl Krasius.
As I walked with such determination, I began to see the mansion.
“Everyone go in first. I told the butler that he was coming, so he’ll guide you.”
Now, even if I’m not there, I’ll take care of myself, so I sneaked back.
“…You’re not kneeling again, are you?”
Marghetta trembled at my words and asked in a nervous voice.
Surely this was the pattern in the Duchy of Ulken as well. He told me to go in first when he could see the front door, and he knelt down suddenly. What would happen to PTSD in Marghetta’s position.
“Is there anything like that in my mansion?”
But I’m worried too much. That castle is said to be the castle of the Demon King, where iron-blooded workers live, and this mansion is in my name. Who would kneel in front of his house?
“I have a place to stop by. It’s not far, so I’ll be back soon.”
“It’s really soon, isn’t it?”
“Of course. If I think I’ll be late, I’ll contact you.”
It was only then that Marghetta’s body, which was in a state of vibration, became quiet. To be honest, I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Unfortunately, however, that’s not a big deal. It’s not like Marghetta’s concern is to kneel down or bow to her, but it’s not normal anyway.
– Well, the ring will be the same no matter where you buy it. The stores in the island are almost leveled up.
“But there will be a ranking among them.”
– I do, but…
A suitable ring store that I asked the 2nd section manager the other day.
– It’s near the manager’s mansion. Is it really destiny?
Four rings that are planned to be given as gifts after accepting the confession.
– If you walk all the way down Akala Street, you’ll come across a three-story building. That’s where the whole thing is written.
Now I have to buy it.
