Chapter 118
After resting for a while in the room, dinner came.
“I should go get counseling on my worries.”
I visited the room where Tessier’s mother and father were.
In the room were Father and Mother Tessiar.
It was Tessiar’s mother who spoke in a kind tone to me who came to me.
“So what are you worried about?”
“It’s a bit embarrassing, but… it’s a story about love.”
Tessiar’s mother maintained her composure, but her father, who was by her side, was different.
It was the father who was embarrassed by spitting out the tea he was drinking.
Tessiar’s mother sent a stinging glare at such a father, and the father repeated clearing his throat at Tessiar’s mother’s glare.
“Keuhmm… I didn’t know you would talk like that.”
“I didn’t know either. I just want to get more advice from just one person.”
“Umm… it’s a love story…”
Tessiar’s mother, who had been silent, opened her mouth.
“I think your father will listen well to such a story. I mean, I fell in love twice.”
My father blushed and panicked.
“Kuhmm… that’s true, but…”
“Well, since I confessed my feelings at that time, it doesn’t matter if I tell Suhar.”
“That’s right… Then, I’ll talk to Suhar.”

Now that I think about it, I’ve never heard a single story about my birth mother.
“Now, first of all, it would be right to talk about meeting Tessiar.”
* * *
Medion Caldert was an only child.
Of course, it was a situation where the family was inherited.
Since the successor of the family has been decided, parents want to see the next successor.
So, Medion’s parents made Medion betrothed as soon as possible.
“Hmm, Viscount Metakir’s restraints will be fine.”
Thesiar Metakir.
From her family line to her looks, she was a woman who lacked everything.
In addition to being attached to the Caldert family, there was only one descendent of Metakir, Tesiar Metakir.
That said, in the future, Metakir territory would naturally be merged into Caldert territory.
“Yes, I am fine too.”
Medion did not care much about his marriage.
The first time Medion saw Tessian Metacir was when Viscount Metacir visited the Caldert family to discuss engagement.
Medion’s impression of Tesiar was, in a word, love at first sight.
“just···.”
Since he was an only child, he was a Medion who lived a life of receiving education for the successor from an early age rather than living a dissolute life.
Medion, who lived a life without a relationship with a woman, couldn’t say a word to Tessiar.
Tessiar, who saw Medion’s foolish appearance, burst into laughter involuntarily.
“yes···? Could I have made a mistake?”
“no. It’s just a little different from what I thought.”
Tessier also liked Medion.
Even though it was a kite made by their parents, Tesiar and Medion thought it wasn’t bad.
And as time passed, Medion and Tesiar became engaged.
While engaged, the two slowly developed their love.
Medion was always devoted to Thesiar, and Thesiar was also devoted to Medion.
“I can only promise you one thing.”
“What do you mean by promise?”
“I promise to love only you, Tessiar, for the rest of my life.”
Thesiar looked at Medion.
Medion’s face was blushing as if he was ashamed.
Seeing that, Tessiar answered with a smile.
“I promise you too. I will only love you.”
Again, time passed and Tesiar and Medion got married.
Tessiar gave up his previous family name and took the name Caldert.
Tessiar had a child shortly after getting married.
The first was a daughter.
“It looks like it will grow up to be very cute like you.”
“no. To me, it looks more like you.”
The two were delighted with the birth of their first child.
“Anyway, I don’t think I can keep my promise…”
“yes···?”
“I decided to love only you, but I also love children.”
“Neither can I, I can’t keep that promise! I love my child too.”
We looked at each other and laughed.
“I must promise you again. That the only woman I will ever love is you.”
“is it so. I promise to do the same.”
She gave birth to her first child, Serea, second, Dave, third, Alt, and finally Milia.
Despite the passage of time, the relationship between the two has not changed.
Rather, it seemed that as time passed, the relationship deepened.
One day, Medion said.
“Ma’am, I don’t think I’ll be coming home for a while.”
“yes? What happened?”
“No, nothing happened, but I have an opportunity to visit all the villages belonging to the Caldert Territory.”
The head of the Caldert family had to visit all the villages belonging to the Caldert territory after a certain period of time after becoming the head of the family.
The purpose was to check the condition of the village, which was directly governed by the head of the household as a lord.
This job took half a year at the longest.
“Then, I can’t help it.”
“I’ll be back as quickly as possible.”
“no. You may come as late as possible. As the lord, you have to take care of the lives of the people of the territory.”
Medion hugged Tesiar tightly.
Medion thought he was blessed.
To have such a good wife.
However, Medion betrayed his good wife like this.
This was an unavoidable fact, and the bad thing was Medion.
* * *
Tessiar waited for Medion to return with an angry expression.
Because I’ve heard strange rumors.
It was rumored that Medion was wearing a certain commoner woman.
Of course, the reason Tessiar was angry was not because she was a commoner woman.
Identity didn’t matter.
“The rumor must be false.”
Tessiar remembered.
The promise that Medion made with Tessiar himself.
“Even though you said you would only love me…”
Tessiar was on the verge of tears.
Please hope this rumor is false.
But it was a vain hope.
It was because on the day Medion returned, there was a beautiful woman next to Medion who looked like he was not lacking compared to himself.
After that day, Tessiar refused Medion’s visit and started to separate.
Tesiar was headed to the now merged Metakir territory.
* * *
Medion often visited Metakir to meet Tesiar.
However, Tessiar refused Medion’s visit every time.
According to the news, the woman next to Medion became a maid.
“Hmm, seeing that you’re not getting married right away, it looks like you’re looking at me.”
Tessiar thought that the reason Medion was visiting must be to get permission to marry that woman and Medion.
That’s why I locked the door even harder.
Some time passed, and I heard that he had taken that woman as his concubine.
“Ugh… finally!”
Upon closer inspection, it was said that the woman got married because she had a child.
After all, that woman also took the surname Caldert.
Anise Caldert.
It was the full name of the woman Tessiar had come to resent.
Time passed again.
Anise’s delivery date approached.
However, Tessiar heard a strange story.
“Ummm… the mother is in danger?”
It was a story that Anise’s life was in danger.
It was also heard that the child’s life could be in danger if it was wrong.
“…”
Tessiar was taken aback.
To be honest, I used to think that it would be nice if there was no person named Anis in the first place.
Had it been so, the current situation would not have been like this.
But even so, I didn’t want to die like this.
“No, I might have wished for it without even realizing it.”
However, it was uncomfortable to actually die.
Unknowingly, it was Tessiar who cheered for a woman named Anis.
Whatever it was, he intended to argue with a woman named Anise or Medion after he had collected his mind after time passed.
“…”
However, contrary to Tessiar’s thoughts, Anise could not overcome the pain of childbirth.
At first glance, it was said that she was a weak woman in the first place.
Fortunately, the child was born healthy.
“It’s not because of me…”
It was Tessiar who thought that Anise might have died because she resented Anise’s death unbeknownst to her.
As time passed, Tessiar became darker and darker.
What brightened Tessiar was the children Tessiar gave birth to when she was hungry.
Tessiar had been visiting the Caldert family consistently since before.
However, after the death of a woman named Anise, they began to visit more frequently.
“Because I don’t know what to do if I can’t see the child…”
As she hung out with her child, Tessiar gradually recovered herself.
However, his relationship with Medion was still the same.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, it just got a little worse.
After Anise died, Medion’s visits were also cut off.
Perhaps because Medion was grieving the death of Anis.
It seemed that the relationship between the two would never recover.
* * *
I asked, interrupting the conversation between my father and Mother Tessiar.
“Anis is the name of my real mother.”
“yes.”
“It is.”
I became curious about the person named Anis.
“By any chance, Anis… how did you meet your mother?”
Anise also had special powers.
When I think of what brought me back, it was clear that I was already aware of that power.
Father looked at Tessiar’s mother and said.
“We met in a small village belonging to the now-disappeared Caldert Territory.”
“Is it gone now?”
“It was very small. From those words, the village chief told me.”
What did the village chief of the small town say to his father?
I stayed focused on the story.
“How can you take care of a child living in your village who is not feeling well?”
“That must have been Anise’s mother.”
“okay. I felt it the first time I saw Anise.”
He was a father who took a break for a while.
“It was the same feeling I had when I met Thesiar. I fell in love at first sight without even realizing it.”
Tessiar’s mother looked a little uncomfortable, but her father didn’t mind.
“I had a guilty conscience, but I courted him again and again. And Anise accepted me like that.”
“is that so···?”
“He just said one strange thing.”
strange words?
“Your fate will not change. He said that he might die soon, and that he would still love him.”
Anise’s mother seemed to already know.
It means that his life is not long.
If I hadn’t given birth to children, I might have lived longer if I hadn’t given birth to me.
But it didn’t.
“Did you say anything else?”
“Umm… Come to think of it…”
He seemed to have said something else.
“There was something like a word for you, not for me.”
“yes···? to me?”
“I completely forgot.”
what you said to me
“Anise told you before you were born.”
“Say something…”
“This child was born with a difficult fate, and he said he would protect it.”
Tough fate… definitely met.
It was hard and I was overworked.
It was poison, to be precise.
Anise’s mother brought me back and protected me.
But how did he know of my difficult fate?
“How did you know I had a difficult fate?”
“Anis was a mysterious woman. She was very good at astrology.”
“You saw my destiny through astrology.”
Father nodding.
And he opened his mouth again.
“The story is not over yet.”
It was.
There was no reconciliation between Tessiar’s mother and father in the story she had told me so far.
I focused on the story again.
