‘The sound of a carriage… … ?’
Early in the morning, while getting ready to go to work, Yuriel turned her head to the sound of a carriage stopping outside in the rain.
‘That person… … There will be no lectures today.’
Leaving behind the rising doubts, Yuriel sat on the bed and arranged her hair and clothes as neatly as possible.
smart.
“… … ?”
However, at the sound of knocking, Yuriel could quickly recognize that it was not Ferzen who had come to her.
Because he had the key to this house.
If it wasn’t for Ferzen, who would come to visit me at this time… …
‘Is it Gerard? … ‘
not.
It’s probably not the time to get out of the dorm.
In the end, Yuriel tilted her head, got up, and opened the door.
“ah… … ”
Then he saw an old man with an umbrella and a cane in front of him.
To welcome her grandfather, Corleone, Yuriel took a step back.
“Hey, Grandpa… … ”
His presence with the umbrella folded inside makes Yuriel’s body cringe at once.
“June 9. Please come back to the mansion.”
“… … ”
“There is no answer.”
“All right… … ”
In answering obediently, Yuriel lowered her eyes.
and… …
“What are those marks on your neck?”
“ah… … ”
At Corleone’s words, who was not wearing a scarf, pointing out the marks on his neck, Yuriel hurriedly raised her hand.
“Put it away.”
“… … ”
However, at Corleone’s frowned upon words, Yuriel lowered her hand, revealing the naked traces that Ferzen had engraved.
“Who did it?”
“… … ”
“Gerard? if not… … ”
“Ferzen… … he did… … “
“under… … ha ha ha!”
At Yuriel’s answer, Corleone smiled madly.
“Ah!”
Then, after discovering the traces that continued below the neck, he stretched out his staff and pulled down Yuriel’s collar.
Of course, there was nothing she could resist.
The existence of Corleone was the mark of obedience engraved on her.
Fight!
Behind the forcibly opened button, the naked red traces engraved near the strange breastbone and collarbone.
Corleone, who saw them, rolled up the corners of her mouth.
“You’ve been doing really well while I haven’t seen you.”
“… … ”
“Every trace a man leaves on a woman is like a proof that he owns it. Seeing that there was no ventilation, there is nothing to criticize.”
After speaking, Corleone turned her back.
“Then see you in four days. granddaughter.”
“Yes… … Goodbye.”
Covering her chest area with her hand, Yuriel politely sent off Corleone.
percussion.
As soon as the door closed, she sat down on the bed and locked the button.
“June 9… … ”
It wasn’t a date that hinted at a special day.
just… …
Yuriel lowers her hand.
He stroked his stomach.
If you calculate the date immediately after the moon distance, it was the fertile period from June 9th.
‘This… … ‘
Is it a coincidence?
creak.
Feeling nervous, Yuriel gave up her thoughts and got up from bed and went to work at the academy.
Immediately after entering the professor’s room, she sat down on a chair and brewed and drank black tea.
‘… … ‘
Then, suddenly, he removes the teacup from his lips.
black tea.
This is also Ferzen’s favourite.
After that day, I had forgotten about it, but recently I have become aware of it a lot.
Your hobbies, your favorite foods, your favorite books.
That all of them are related to Ferzen.
‘Even if I wasn’t raised to be you… … ‘
Would this feeling still exist?
Unable to even do what she disliked properly, Yuriel closed her eyes, quietly feeling the fragments left behind as love and hate.
‘Someday, the time is really long… … ‘
he came
No nose is visible.
If you water the flower too much, the roots will rot.
However, if you give less, it will wither.
It is a corporation that requires a reasonable compromise.
‘you are… … ‘
Do I always want to be thirsty?
tracking tracking.
It’s still raining outside.
rainy season that lasts for a long time.
Still feeling thirsty, Yuriel felt pathetic.

After the morning lecture, Yuriel left the classroom and started walking.
Lizzy suggested we have lunch together, but… … refused
“ah… … ”
After entering the main building and going up to the professor’s room, Yuriel could see Gerard standing quietly leaning against the wall.
Perhaps the child also looked at him, and he slowly turned his head.
“I’m sorry.”
“… … ”
“On that day, I realize that my remarks were exaggerated.”
“so.”
“However, I cannot say that the fault lies entirely with me. Because I tried to keep the good, and I tried to be considerate of the professor. He calmed me down that there was no need to rush… … If I had honestly told him that my heart was still there, I would not have felt betrayed. Aren’t you immature enough to mistake the kindness shown by me, the professor, or the other person?”
At Gerard’s sincere words, Yuriel ruffled her hair behind her ear.
It really wasn’t wrong.
Even if it wasn’t intentional, it was true that I made fun of this child’s heart.
And how many men really want to approach marriage by arrangement with their own heart?
From that point of view, it was difficult to see Gerard’s behavior as a bad thing, even considering the excessive remarks at the time.
If a woman who was supposed to be married is burying the traces of another man and her eyes don’t turn, it would be rather strange.
“It will be unfortunate. He has a wife, and he doesn’t want our Asran family to grow further in the north, so he wants to have the professor as his concubine.”
“know.”
Since Ferzen had also said it himself, at least in terms of his personal feelings towards him, Gerard in front of him was probably much bigger.
However, his personal feelings were also built on the political position of the Alfred family.
And most importantly… …
“There is no point in complaining to me. Alfred… … Because he’s my grandfather.”
“Now that you have come, you are drawing a line so tenderly… … If so, I know. But I want to ask you one thing. In the past 10 years ago, I heard that the engagement ceremony was ruined. After that, there was no contact. But why does the professor like him?”
Seeing Gerard clenching his fists and trying to pretend to be calm, Yuriel gave a sad smile once and opened his mouth.
“A child who grows up with shackles on his ankles will have their ankles adjusted to their shape even after the shackles are released.”
“What does it mean… … ”
“If you pour molten iron and harden it into a mold, wouldn’t it be shaped like that?”
Yuriel, who returned the truth that could possibly be said to be her own shame, thought that this was the best goodwill she could do, and walked past Gerard, who still had an incomprehensible expression on her face, and entered her professor’s room.
Then he goes to the sofa and lies down.
“ha… … ”
A lot, tired.

June 6th.
Perhaps the rainy season is finally coming to an end, Ferzen opened his eyes slowly, wriggling his eyebrows in the light sunlight from the window that had been pouring down after a long time.
It must have been quite difficult to control Laura, who was suffering from the eccentricity while the opposite s*x coexisted. Yesterday, except when eating, I fell asleep immediately, so I felt that my physical condition was slowly returning to normal.
‘It was a little cold in the morning.’
When I turned my head to the side, I saw Euphemia sleeping on shrimp.
Due to the habit of sleeping in Ruerg’s shabby room, she would curl up and sleep like this if she felt cold while sleeping.
The figure was so cute, Ferzen confirmed that it was still early, and hugged her as if clinging to Euphemia’s back and passing her warmth.
‘Is there a fever… … ‘
But feeling her body temperature higher than usual, Ferzen reached out and touched Euphemia’s forehead.
It was a bit awkward to say that it was hot, but… … It was warm.
It would be correct to call it mild fever.
Having heard from the senator beforehand that this was the case in the early stages of pregnancy, Ferzen did not panic and gently shook Euphemia to wake him up.
Unsurprisingly, when she opened her eyes, she complained of greater fatigue than usual, and had difficulty even raising her upper body, and barely leaned her head on her lap.
“… … rest Don’t call the senator. After all, work at the academy is not at a level that will be disrupted even if you are not there.”
“yes… … ”
It was early, just before 7 in the morning, but it wasn’t difficult to call a doctor when he wanted to, so Ferzen was able to meet the woman doctor to examine Euphemia before going to work.
“Since it has nothing to do with stomach pain, I don’t think you need to worry too much. Although there are antipyretic analgesics… … I heard that you are now in the 5th week, and in that case, I do not recommend taking the drug unless it is severe.”
“Is the fetus severely affected?”
“It’s a low probability, but it’s not without cases. As it is through an epidemiological investigation, the credibility is certain to some extent. In terms of the level of influence, the blood vessels were relatively weak in comparison. There were no miscarriages.”
In response to the member’s answer, Ferzen looked at Euphemia.
At least there have been no cases of miscarriage, so it is her choice from here on.
“I won’t eat… … It’s okay if you just lie down. I think if I rest comfortably for a day or so, I will be okay again.”
“is it. Still, if you don’t know… … ”
Ferzen told the senator to stay in this mansion for the rest of the day.
In this case, the remuneration was also quite high, so he did not refuse Ferzen, who went to work with Euphemia, and then took care of Euphemia on behalf of the maids.
Judging from the experience so far, there is a very low probability that the symptoms get worse here, but if you win it, your neck will fly off with a very high probability.
Of course, no one had the authority to summarily dispose of a member of the council due to a medical accident unless it was a mistake.
Yes, the official power to kill.
Therefore, if their origin, family, and personal connections do not protect them, then the nobles–even if a medical accident occurs in the process of treating and operating those with high authority, most of the members of the council are brutally murdered through dirty hands.
To become a member of the imperial family is the dream of every member of the legislature.
There are only a few people who can kill the members of the Imperial Family who protect them.
Ferzen, who arrived at the academy in the carriage, accidentally opened the door and was able to meet Yuriel at the time of getting off.
I would still walk to work.
I wonder what’s going on here in the parking lot.
“This is the way to see the flower bed. I wasn’t waiting for you, so put that annoying look away. funny really… … ”
It wasn’t an excuse, it was sincere, so Yuriel laughed at Fersen’s subtle expression, which seemed to accept this coincidence by misinterpreting it in her heart.
Then she walks straight away, but not long after she glances back, she realizes that the green-haired, ugly woman she was carrying with her, as usual, is not there.
