[I entrust this sword to you with my life and honor.]
Those words were the last one of Sejan’s remembered father. The story of Sejan that no one knows. In the meantime, the workers were getting closer. Judging that any further conversation was impossible, I hastened to finish.
“…Is this enough to convince you? I’ll postpone the details for next time. I’ll give you about 15 days to think about it, and if you like, come and see me.”
I wanted to give him more time to think about it. I could tell he was surprised by the whole conversation the way he was squirming around.
Slowly, courteously, I grab my dress and brushed past Sejan where he was standing like time had stopped. I deliberately gave my back to another predator, one who is different from Kyle. Even if show your fangs and attack, I won’t blink.
‘I’ve shown you everything I can.’
All that’s left is Sejan’s choice.

My eyes were wide open on this morning. As soon as I woke up, there were so many scary things scattered around the room.
I asked Marina in front of me.
“Marina, what’s all this?”
“Lady, it’s a gift from his Highness. He said, he sent it to prepare for the wedding.”
Oh right. Getting ready for the wedding.
‘Is it not too much just for me…?’
“Shall we open them.”
“Yes, let’s do it.”
When I gave Marina permission, all the other maids gathered quickly as if they had waited and began to unpack the gifts one by one.
“Your Highness! It’s a jade brooch! The color, it’s so pretty!”
“Really! I think it’ll will suit you.”
“Oh, this is a pearl necklace.”
“I heard that rare gems from the East are gaining attention these days. I can guess why.”
“Your Highness look over here. It’s a diamond bracelet that’s trending among the ladies these days.”
“It’s so bright and beautiful that I will be blinded by such treasures!”
Everyone looks so ecstatic, compared to me who was probably sporting a glum look. They are clearly more excited than I was.
‘But is everything here gems and jewelry?’
At first glance, it looks easily weighty. Is he going to be a jeweler or something to me? Some jewelry is needed for the archduchess, but it was excessive.
Then, it didn’t take long to find out that it was a mistake…
– Your Highness, the master sent this.
– Your Highness, your gift has been sent today as well.
– Your Highness, It’s a gift from his grace
I was somehow confused by all this.
The next day, the day after that and the following day, the gifts continued to come in. Ribbons, shoes, laces, hats, fans, reticules, and dresses. Not all at once, but several times over the days.
You damn dragon bastard.
I could not see past my nose for the next 3 days. Why do you terrorize me with gifts?
…But there was something else to be frightened of.
