It wasnāt long before the room became quiet.
I lowered my arms that were wrapped over my head and my eyes grew wide.
The intruder was slowly disintegrating, falling to the floor like a dead moth, black smoke rising from the remains.
A man standing with a shining blue sword turned to me. My heart pounded. I didnāt know if it was because of what just happened or because of the unexpected first encounter.
Or is it because of the overwhelming aura that flowed from him? His silvery blue hair, clear red eyes, sharp jawline, and defined facial features were quite similar to Elleniaās.
However, their personalities were quite different, and if Ellenia was like an ancient, cool-headed ice princess, this man felt much more barbaric and dangerous.
The gaze directed at me was so overwhelming that it made me flinch.
Why are you staring at me like that?
āWhatās the reason?ā
āWhat?ā
āWhy did you turn that off?ā
Had I been the culprit who had turned off the torch, that tone of voice would have reduced me to a blubbering mess, who couldnāt even give a proper excuse.
Do you think I made this fuss on purpose?
āI donāt know whyā¦ā
āYou didnāt even have to do this. Donāt you have enough attention already? Or is this one of the excuses to use for later?ā
He seemed to think that I was already trying to figure out an excuse for breaking up. I knew he wouldnāt like me, but this is one of the worst first images Iād ever made, so thereās a long way to go.
It was then that Ellenia came up.
She said calmly, facing her brother, āDonāt rush her, brother. We donāt know who did it yet. Even if she did, she wouldnāt have expected this to happen. In Romagna, you wouldnāt have had torches like here.ā
I love you, Ellen. Even if I die, I will save you and die.
(T/N: lmao i choked xDDDD)
I reached out to Elleniaās back and clasped her dress.
She was dressed in casual clothes, not pajamas.
She was probably drinking tea or something.
āI was just so cold that I woke upā¦ā
āWhat? Speak up.ā
He was quite the character.
I took a short breath. It was very natural for tears to form around my eyes. But it was not just acting that made my voice tremble.
Holding the sword, with a heated gaze, was my husband. He looked like Satan incarnate who had just come out of the desert.
Che,Ā Cesareās equivalent was right here.
āI woke up for a second and saw the torch was blown outā¦ā
āAh, so it was someone else. Who was it? My sister? Me?ā
āBrother.ā
āIām sorry. I didnāt mean it like that. I guess I turned it off because it was too hot. Iām sorry for the disturbance. I wasnāt thinking. I wonāt let this happen again .ā
There was a moment of silence as I blurted this out with a whimper and a piteous expression. Izek looked at me, biting his bottom lip as if he was searching for something, while Ellenia gently stroked my shoulder.
My face will start bleeding if he stared this much.
āThereās something I want to ask youā¦ā
āYes?ā
āā¦no, leave it,ā He left the room, clicking his tongue with one last glance.
What was he trying to ask?
***
After our unexpected first meeting, my husband seemed to have disappeared again.
I had breakfast alone with Ellenia.
There was silence for a while.
Ellenia focused on her meal with an expressionless look, making it hard for me to know what she was thinking. I was conscious of what happened earlier and ate as timidly as possible.
If I ate, I had a good excuse to throw up anywayā¦
āItās not going to happen again.ā
āWhat?ā
āWaking up from the cold.ā
I gently lowered my fork and raised my head.
Ellenia was still stirring the mushroom soup with her eyes cast down.
So, she noticed that someone was playing around.
I never thought someone would do such a childish thing in the first place, but, I responded with, āThank you.ā
āYouāll be at the court banquet in four days. Let me know if you need anything by then.ā
Right, there was a banquet. As the royal family had arranged this marriage, it was only obvious to go to greet the king.
At the same time, it was a banquet to celebrate the wedding anniversary of the King and his wife.
āEllen, if you do not mind, could you introduce me to a seamstress?ā
āSeamstress?ā
āYes. As you know, the only clothes I bought are Southern ones, so it would stand out too much. I also heard that the summers here are very short.ā
There was a moment of silence. Ellenia, looking back at me who was smiling carefully, turned her gaze back.
Somehow, it felt embarrassing.
āYouāre right. I should have thought about it in advance and prepared for it. Iām ashamed of myself.ā
Of course she didnāt think about it.Ā Goddamn,Ā theyāre all betting on when Iāll go back to Romagna.
Furthermore, as I recall, the original Rudbeckia didnāt care about the northern customs.
āIāll call my own seamstress. It will be difficult to make new clothes in four days.ā
āIt canāt be helped this time. Thank you.ā
āIād love to lend you my dress, but itās too big for Ruby. To be honest, Ruby is too thin. You need to eat more to survive Elendaleās winter.ā
Indeed, our heights were quite apart too, and if I wore Elleniaās clothes, I would probably look as awkward as an immature teenager who stole her sisterās clothes.
That would just be sad.
Anyway, it will be my first time here in a crowd, so Iāll have to be careful to make an impression.
My husband, who is the most important person, seemed to have had the worst impression already.
āThen that day, Lord Izekā¦ I meanā¦ā
āI hope you donāt mind what happened today. He just overreacted because he is particularly sensitive to safety. Usually, the torch doesnāt extinguish easily. Therefore, it is very rare for a demon to break in, so we were also very surprised.ā
Ellenia seemed to have decided that I was terrified of Izek.
Were his arms bent inside out?
He must be really sensitive.
Haa, what an ideal brother and sister.
āIām not going to take it badly. Iām just a little sad because I think heās misunderstanding me. Iām sure he doesnāt like me, butā¦ā
āBrother doesnāt hate Ruby.ā
It was quite a serious tone for empty consolation.
Ellenia gave me a dry look, as my eyes widened.
āHeās an ordinary person who avoids people he really hates. You never know when heāll lash out.ā
That was an extraordinary and unique personality. He turned out even more twisted than I thought.
āButā¦ā
āHe just doesnāt like the current situation, so heās looking at everything in a crooked way. I donāt know about you, but I could never imagine my Brother getting married.. even if it was to anyone other than Ruby. It must have been hard.ā
It didnāt really make sense.
He was from an ordinary family, and not like me, Rudbeckia de Borgia. But if it were someone ordinary, he wouldnāt have misunderstood that I was already trying to break us up.
He would have been nicer if I was his childhood friend.
Nevertheless, if Elleniaās testimony to Izekās unusual behaviour was true, I felt a little bit settled.
Even if there were endless reasons why he disapproved of our marriage, there was little hope unless his hostility was purely directed at me.
How would I handle him from now on? First of all, I had to understand his tendencies.
āEllen, I have a favor to ask of you.ā
After all, you have to figure out the opponent first to play the game.
My ultimate goal now was not to die at the hands of my husband.
Trying to look as harmless as possible was a kind of insurance policy. I couldnāt continue to live here if I didnāt prevent my husbandās sister, Elleniaās death..
The History of Borgia family assassins was already an open secret.
For example, Cardinal Iliope, who came to know of my birth issue, it was officially declared that he was killed by a knife in a brothel, but rumors said that it was actually done by my brother and sister.
Besides, the reason Ellenia was poisoned was that she had become engaged to the prince Dorias by that time.
It was only right to doubt us because it is unclear what would happen if the Prince of Dorias, who did not get along well with the Pope, and a woman from one of Britanniaās noble families got married.
I also felt that it was quite absurd for Rudbeckia to just poison Ellenia for such a situation.
Even if itās the epitome of a crazy family, Cesare was a pretty particular man. The Holy Grail was stolen at the last minute, and the failure just seemed soā¦
Anyway, I couldnāt tell anyone about this story in advance, and who would even believe the beloved princess of the Popeās family?
Even if someone believed me, Fatherās spies were planted throughout Elendale. I couldnāt say anything because of that.
I didnāt want to be dragged home when that rumor started circulating.
So I had to seem good to Izek, the person who was going to kill me.
I didnāt care about anyone else.
It would be very difficult if he didnāt believe me, or took it in the wrong way. A little bit of favor and compassion, maybe a little mercyā¦ maybe that would make him believe my warning.
