Chapter 119
Father and Mother Tessiar began to tell the back story.
* * *
Tessiar, who visited more often than before, had a happy moment with the child she gave birth to.
Tessiar’s heart, which had been dark, gradually brightened.
Even so, the anger toward Medion did not disappear.
Then one day, Tessiar, who visited the Caldert family, suffered an embarrassing incident.
“What is this sound?”
I heard someone whimpering.
I don’t know who it was, but it was clearly the voice of a child.
Tessiar blindly followed the sound.
The stop was in front of Suhar’s door.
“…”
It was a child I had only seen from afar.
Tessiar hadn’t expected this child to be crying.
That’s because, on the surface, this child didn’t seem to be doing anything wrong.
“Mom… where are you…”
The words of a child who recited lowly.
At those words, Tessiar’s body moved first without even realizing it.
Tesiar’s heart was moved by the sight of a child who was only three years old crying sadly.
Thesiar hugged Suhar recklessly.
Tessiar at that time was also crying.
I recklessly apologized to the child.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Mom is here…”
The child was innocent.
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter how much Anise hated the woman, the child born was innocent.
Rather, he was a poor child.
He was a poor child who lost his mother as soon as he was born.
“mom···?”
“Yes, it is mother. I will be your mother from now on.”
Tessiar was also devoted to Suhar after this.
He treated Suhar like his own child.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, on the contrary, he treated her more kindly than his own child.
As if in return, Suhar also played a lot of fools around Tesiar.
“Suhar is the child I gave birth to from my heart.”
Suhar and Thesiar became a mother-child relationship.
However, that relationship collapsed due to a maid’s slip of the tongue.
“You know where? That Suhar-sama is not Thesiar-sama’s biological child? You do great. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to treat my concubine’s child like that.”
Suhar accidentally overheard what the maid said.
This fact came as a shock to Suhar, who had reached the age of reason.
Perhaps because of this, the relationship between Tessiar and Suhar gradually collapsed.
Falling in love with Tesiar, Suhar gradually ceased to be childish towards Tesiar.
I started to treat him like a stranger.
“Suhar, is there something wrong?”
“no. Mrs. Tessier.”
Tessiar, who was called Mrs. Tessier, couldn’t escape the shock for a while.
The child who used to call her mother changed into Tessier’s mother as she grew up, and now she said she was Tessier’s wife.
Tessiar inquired and found the maid who was the culprit of this incident.
The lady-in-waiting called by Tessiar told her everything straight away.
“I’m sorry!”
“…”
Tessiar slapped the cheek of the maid who bowed her head and apologized.
It was the first time Tessiar used violence.
I couldn’t contain my emotions.
Each time, Thesiar treated Suhar kindly.
However, the relationship with Suhar has not yet been restored.
Thesiar felt as if he had been abandoned by Suhar.
“Sobbing···.”
I spent the night in tears.
Thesiar’s mind seemed to have returned to the past.
I stayed in my room for a while.
Then, in an instant, Medion appeared.
Medion stood outside the door and said.
“Madam… I’ve heard about it… What I haven’t found so far…”
Medion’s excuse began.
Anis died, and he was so sad that he couldn’t do anything.
He said he had no choice but to kill his emotions with work.
Medion worked like crazy.
In the meantime, he remembered Anise’s child, whom he hadn’t cared about.
“what? Suhar and Tesiar?”
I heard that the relationship between Suhar and Tesiar had improved before I knew it.
Medion was delighted.
But nothing was done.
I thought for no reason that if I got caught between the two of them, even the relationship between the two would fall apart.
“I’m really sorry… everything is my fault… I know full well that there’s nothing I can say to you… but…”
Hearing the news that the relationship between the two had changed drastically, Medion came urgently like this.
Medion knew that Tessiar was strong but weak.
He also knew that the affair he had had would not be forgiven.
The wind wasn’t exactly a problem.
Medion knew that Thesiar was angry because he had broken the promise he had made to him to love only Tesiar.
It was Tessiar who came out strong even in the wind she blew.
But now it was different.
“Ma’am… please… I want to talk face to face…”
It was the first time I had seen Tessiar in such despair.
Medion mustered courage because he had an ominous thought.
Of course, I didn’t think that Tessiar would accept it.
Even so, Medion mustered up courage.
Every day, standing in front of Tessiar’s door, he apologized.
A few days passed.
“Come on in···.”
Thesiar was allowed to enter the room.
Medion entered the room while embarrassed.
The appearance of Tessiar he hadn’t seen in a long time was haggard.
It was skinny and the dark circles were severely lost.
It’s like a candle that seems to go out when you blow it out.
“ma’am···.”
“…”
“I want to apologize… I would even kneel if you wanted to. No, I will kneel down right now.”
The housekeeper kneels down.
This was close to throwing away all of Gajuro’s pride.
But Medion knelt down.
Thesiar said without looking at Medion.
“Stop acting like that right now.”
“ma’am···.”
“I will never forgive you.”
“I have nothing to say.”
“You betrayed me.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I trusted you.”
“…”
Tessiar’s tone gradually made her cry.
The more she spoke, the more Tessiar began to cry.
“I hate you.”
“I still love you.”
“I hate you.”
“I still like you.”
“Before…before…”
“ma’am···.”
Thesiar’s mouth did not open any longer.
Tessiar’s mouth was closed by the emotion of flowing tears.
Medion embraced Tesiar.
Thesiar struggled for a moment and resisted.
But it soon quieted down.
“Can I make one more promise?”
“What? Are you going to break it again?”
“I want to devote the rest of my life to you…”
“…”
Tessiar made no reply.
Medion left the room helplessly.
Just before Medion left the room, Thesiar’s mouth opened.
“I will think about it.”
Medion visited Thesiar every day to show his sincerity.
As time passed, the relationship between Tesiar and Medion was restored.
However, the only thing that did not recover was the relationship with Suhar.
* * *
Thesiar said through tears.
“I’m glad though… In the end, my relationship with you, Suhar, has gotten better.”
“Yes.”
my father said
“Well, there is one thing I want to say with this story.”
“Excuse me?”
The story was so long and voluminous that I couldn’t understand what he wanted to say.
I guess it’s a story about not having an affair.
“You’d better be brave.”
“yes?”
“If I hadn’t, the relationship between Tessiar and me might have been the same. If I hadn’t plucked up the courage then… if I had been afraid all along.”
“courage···.”
“If you like someone too, be brave.”
I’ve obviously never talked about Epinia.
However, this advice to be courageous was appropriate for the current situation.
“all right.”
I decided to write a letter right now.
I decided to tell Ephinia my true feelings.
However, Tessiar’s mother stopped it, as if she had noticed this too.
“If you’re thinking of conveying your words in writing, don’t do it. I forgave your father because he came to me in person.”
“I almost made a mistake. thank you Thesiar’s mother.”
It felt like the problem that was piled up in the corner of my heart was washed away.
For some reason, I wanted to see Epinia right now.
I wanted to tell you my heart.
I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding and convey my sincerity.
“I… I’m leaving right away tomorrow.”
“Yeah, got it.”
“I want to be with you a little longer, but I can’t help it.”
I sincerely thought.
It was said that it was the correct answer to consult with these two about their concerns.
“Thank you very much.”
The father turned his head in embarrassment.
Tessian’s mother looked at me kindly.
“No matter… it’s natural for parents to listen to their children’s concerns.”
The next day, I left for the Mycenaean Empire.
It was to see Epinia, who would be in the Mycenae Empire.
* * *
Ephinia didn’t leave the room for a while.
“Just friends… just friends…”
It was Ephinia who had the idea that she had just said that she was just a friend as an excuse.
But strangely, I couldn’t stay calm.
I couldn’t contain my emotions.
“That might be right…”
just friends.
Because of that, he was dominated by the thought that Suhar would not have come to visit him.
“If we meet again and talk…”
But I was scared.
Epinia could say that.
He liked Suhar.
You can’t not like that, can you?
If there was anyone who saved him from a harsh fate, it was Suhar.
I was already aware of that fact.
“Because a different fate awaits in the book with the future written on it…”
Only Suhar’s future was invisible.
His future was different from what was written.
With that alone, Suhar was able to know that his fate had changed.
Suhar would also know this.
However, Ephinia did not dig deep because this fact came as if she was hiding something.
“Like a story…”
In many tales or storybooks on the market, there were many love stories between a woman of high status and a man with a heroic aspect.
Like those stories, Suhar changed the harsh fate given to Ephinia.
From nob le mt l. co m
Naturally, it was natural for Ephinia to feel love for Suhar.
“Haa… Shall we wait?”
From the princess’ point of view, there was nothing she could do.
There were too many restrictions.
It was dangerous to run away now that the world is becoming chaotic.
Ephinia did not want to worry her father, the emperor.
So, the only way was to wait.
All she did was wait for Suhar to come back.
“Okay, let’s wait. until you come back.”
In addition, Ephinia also had Har, an animal that Suhar had been raising.
An animal of Suhar who was able to enter the imperial family after hard work.
“Whatever it is, you’ll have to come back to me to take Har away from me!”
It was Ephinia who tried to have a positive mind.
Haru, who seemed to have noticed that he was talking about himself, jumped out of nowhere and approached Epinia.
“Harya… when will your master come back…”
Haru just scratched his neck with his back foot, ignoring Ephinia’s words.
A lady-in-waiting came to Ephinia who had been petting Har for a while.
“Princess Ephinia, the emperor is calling.”
Epinia couldn’t help but tilt her head.
Because there was nothing to call him.
Ephinia visited the emperor’s throne room with doubts.
There was not a single person around.
Only the emperor was waiting for Ephinia.
“What business did you call me for?”
“Your age is also me. Rather late.”
In an instant, Ephinia realized what the emperor was about to say.
“Are you talking about an engagement… or a marriage?”
“Yes, it would be better to get married right away rather than betrothed.”
“But I…”
It was Ephinia who tried to refute something, but her mouth didn’t come out easily.
I couldn’t bear to bring the story of Suhar to the emperor.
“Fortunately, a letter from the neighboring empire has arrived saying they want to marry you, Epinia.”
“yes···?”
“He has a good status… his circumstances are different, but he is a person who can be of great help.”
Ephinia didn’t say anything and just listened to the emperor quietly.
