Your story-1
“Robert?”
Mirazen’s eyes narrowed when he came out after waiting for a long time and found Robert coming from the hallway across the street.
It was because the expression coming from the other direction, not the entrance, was dark. Did something happen without you knowing?
“…Forgive me for being late. I should have told you beforehand because I was meeting with His Highness the Crown Prince on the way.”
“No, it’s fine. It’s not like I’ve been waiting that long.”
We hadn’t met at a set time, so after hearing that Robert had come and waiting, only an hour had passed.
A shadow casts between the faintly smiling faces.
Maybe it’s because of the thoughts on his mind lately, but Mirajen noticed that the laughing Robert didn’t look good.
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, whether I had heard anything bad about meeting Keitel.
It didn’t seem right to talk about what I was waiting for right away.
Shall I ask you first? It would seem strange to ask how much he found out about the masked people, so Mirazen pretended not to know anything and gave a small smile.
“I guess I wasn’t doing well? Your complexion looks worse than the last time I saw you.”
“Good job. It’s just that I’m a little tired.”
“It was okay if I didn’t come if I was tired. I guess I just asked you to come.”
At those words, Robert quietly rubbed his eyes.
Up until yesterday, I was fine, but I think it was because I was disturbed by what I heard from Keitel.
Yeah… honestly, if I had to kill someone, I would do it without hesitation.
How many people have you killed in the meantime, but would you hesitate?
However, when I was told to kill Adele, I was shaken even though I expected it.
I thought that if I heard such a command, I would obey.
Of course I wouldn’t kill him, but I was thinking of using it to hit Keitel’s back.
When I really heard that, I got angry. If it wasn’t for Keitel, it wouldn’t have been strange if his hand had gone out first.
It didn’t take long for Robert’s complexion to change, as it had only been a few minutes since he had heard the story.
My head was pounding. To the point where he couldn’t properly remember the purpose of his coming here. The wavelength of what I expected and what I actually heard was quite different.
“Robert.”
That was the reason why he belatedly recognized Mirazen’s voice.
There was still a deadline, so there was no need to worry right away, but Robert wiped his forehead and looked at Mirajen with an awkward smile.
“I’m sorry. I have something to think about.”
“I want to know a little bit about that. I always know so much to myself that sometimes it seems like I live in another world that I don’t know about.”
Mirazen also guessed that Robert had many secrets.
However, the reason I didn’t ask him was because I had received a lot of help from Robert.
Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to do this now.
However, as time passed, the growing doubts were gradually growing in line with the memories that came to mind recently.
It’s like his expression that gets complicated when he sees himself, and how he suddenly wanted to become Taylor’s family head after being quiet until now.
If I was going to change Taylor, wouldn’t it have been better to prepare from the beginning?
However, the process of Robert’s ascension to the head of household was quite sudden, so rather than preparing something, it was more like an impromptu situation.
After meeting him, he took the position of head of household less than a year later.
If you interpret it as Robert’s ability, it might be, but why he endured persecution for the sake of that position… Mirazen couldn’t understand.
When Mirazen’s eyes met Robert, the first thing he saw was a long scar on his chest.
Now I know why the scars are clearly visible even with clothes on.
Robert Taylor found out where Taylor was in the family and what he had been through.
As such, I thought I knew something about Robert, but I also knew that there was much more hidden than that.
Adrian knows what Mirazen doesn’t. What Miragen does not know, Adele, the Grand Duke of the North, knows.
I’ve been thinking countless times about where such a difference occurs, but Miragen has never been able to figure out the reason.
“…do I need to tell you what I think of Robert?”
I know it’s complicated. I didn’t know if this was love or just passing feelings.
To be precise, it was just that this emotion had not been determined in any form.
It’s sad that he doesn’t contact me often, and it’s frustrating because the only news I hear from time to time is that he’s hurt.
It’s nice to meet again like that, but it’s a pity that the time is short. Now the status was the status, so I couldn’t hold it.
Shouldn’t Robert do his own thing in his own way?
If it were simply Confucius, he would have made any excuse to keep him by his side, but Mirazen did not have the strength to keep the Duke by his side.
what do you think To answer that, it’s probably closer to the heart of love.
However, he didn’t say that.
After staring at Robert for a while, Mirazen let out a small sigh when she realized that it was a book.
“All right. I just said it once. I’m a bit frustrated. You always go to meet someone other than me. Will you come only when I call?”
“I’ve never been looking for it myself… I haven’t.”
If you think about it, Miragen was the one who tried to get closer in this life.
I handed over the artifact saying that I could contact him privately, and since then I’ve been treating him a little lightly.
It was an easy relationship for a princess, but my heart was always heavy when I saw Mirazen.
I always heard Miragen’s request and came to visit. The last time I stopped by the imperial family, wasn’t it the time when Mirazen asked me to come?
Saying I’m sorry now won’t change anything, but Robert slowly turned his head at the gaze that looked at him.
“It wasn’t on purpose.”
I did it on purpose. I wanted to somehow avoid that complicating mind, fearing that old memories would come back if I saw it often.
It was the same in this space where the two of us are now alone. Since they were always together when lying on that bed, Robert, who had no place to look, looked at Mirazen again.
They were the closest in the past, but I can’t deny that in this life I’ve become awkward compared to others.
Where did it go wrong?
It all started with his own attitude, so Robert, scratching his cheek, pulled a chair and sat next to Mirazen.
“I guess that upset you. I think it’s the first time you’ve said something like this.”
“Yes, I was sorry.”
Miragen, who would have hidden it before, answered honestly. If you say you’re not sad about this situation, nothing will change.
And these ‘delusions’ that have popped up recently also influenced Miragen to move a little more actively.
“…I was like that until just now, but I’m not disappointed anymore.”
Seeing your face makes me forgive again.
A person’s heart is so cunning, no matter how sad they were before, it was such a regret that it eventually disappeared after meeting their eyes a few times.
I didn’t have the energy to get even more angry at the man who said sorry as soon as I saw him.
At those words, Robert’s soft smile seemed very natural.
It was because I was able to forget my worries for a while because I was with Miragen.
However, the talk was still there.
Mirajan was considerate and didn’t bring it up, but the reason why Robert came to the imperial palace was to tell Mirazen the memories of the previous episode.
After thinking about it for a while, Mirazen’s lips moved quietly.
“You know why I called you? There is something I wanted to call Robert and ask him.”
“I am guessing. Because you told me something.”
“Does Robert know what I said?”
“…If you ask me. Yeah, I know.”
-Robert, don’t listen too strangely to what I’m saying. It’s okay to just spill it, so can you just listen?
The voice I heard from the artifact that had been playing with Adele was trembling.
If he hadn’t been sensitive, he wouldn’t have noticed, but Robert noticed that Miragen, who had contacted him, was quite confused.
And the story that followed was enough to infer that the cause of the confusion was from the previous episode.
“I’m sure we never went together, but I remember going together. We’ve only walked in the garden together once in the imperial palace, but strangely, in my memory, I remember doing it together several times. The same day several times, that doesn’t usually happen.”
“…okay.”
“I remember confessing to you. I have memories of you confessing to me and kissing each other. I don’t think it’s a delusion… I thought it was a delusion several times. This, this feeling that remains here…”
It can’t be just delusional. Mirazen, who touched her lips with a slightly reddened face, looked at Robert while feeling the rising heat.
This is not delusion. It was definitely something that actually happened, and it was a memory I had with Robert.
However, it could not have existed. Not only was he not that close to Robert, but he had never confessed to either of them.
If I had been hypnotized and manipulated by someone, I would understand, but I had too many memories to explain it like that.
“I understand what you mean.”
That I recalled my memories, and that nothing would change even if I was evasive here.
There were too many emotions entangled in the hot gaze, but Robert accepted it and let out a light sigh.
It was clear that the time had come to speak.
“Then there is something you should keep in mind before you speak, but would you understand?”
“What are you talking about?”
old story. Only he remembered, because he was so entangled. Now it’s a story that I tried to live with alone for the rest of my life.
I didn’t want anyone to think about it, but now I can’t hide it.
In the end, it was time to tell him everything.
Even if it’s simply a life where the two of you are intertwined, you’ve reached it dozens of times. Robert smiled bitterly and licked his lips slowly.
“Please keep in mind that I have never resented you.”
