Chapter 43.1

“Ah…… ha.”

Flora nodded. Louella reminded him of Gerald, who complained that she was just Gerald’s friend.

Is it all a facade?

This was why Gerald was pushing people away. It’s not like people pushed Gerald away.

‘What is this…?’

Does Louella know about this?

“Flora. Perhaps.”

“Yes, professor?”

“You’re not going to tell Louella about Gerald, are you?”

Why not?

Flora was impatient to tell Louella the news.

Louella still insisted that Gerald was just a friend to her, but did Gerald really only think of her as a friend?

She felt as if she had to tell Louella and get an answer from Gerald.

“I know Gerald only treats Louella differently, but Flora…. I’ve never talked about it with him.”

“Why?”

Billiers kicked his tongue, “Because I only have one life.”

“Ey! Are you kidding me, professor?”

Billiers gave her advice with a friendly look on his face, “You would be better off not talking, either. I’m telling you this for your safety, Flora.”

Gerald, this guy… What’s his real deal?

Gerald leaned against the window.

He got the medicine. Now the next question was the most important. When does Louisa get sick?

Louella doesn’t seem to have memories of her first life.

How hard it was for Louella to bear, and how they had to let the child go.

He doesn’t even want Louella to recall that memory. And, there was only one thing that Gerald could do now.

Gerald fiddled with his wrist.

There was also only one way to obtain a blood sample. Monsters that came to this world are burned as soon as they were dead. It was because no one knew what adverse effects their corpses would have on this world.

Gerald stared coldly at Uroboros.

There is only one place to find hot-blooded monsters.

Uroboros. It only existed in his ring.

Gerald rose to his feet.

Gerald’s eyes, that had a fire burning in him, shone like a bright moon. HIs heart pounded with pain.

Still, Gerald couldn’t reach Louella. He wasn’t confident that he’d be able to hold her even after he had touched her.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that Nisephor might be a punishment, not a disease. There was a possibility that it was a punishment for someone.

Gerald fiddled with his wrist once again. The ring seems to tighten around Gerald’s wrist.

It was as if it was trying to distract him from his own thoughts.

The long-awaited letter arrived. The sender was one of the ladies who attended the reading party together.

[Princess Louella,

I’m Countess Marsen, whom you met at the World Water Congress before. I wanted to contact you because I was wondering if I could join hands together.

I’m talking about my nephew, he’s very healthy and fit. He is now 20 years old. He had just arrived in Korea after studying abroad, and he’s thinking about getting ready for an engagement now that he’s home.

His name is Brenti Borto. He’s the eldest son of the Viscount Borto. Call me if you have any thoughts, milady.

Feel free to say no. I’m just letting you know about this just in case. Let’s greet each other with a smile at the next meeting.

Well then, this concludes my letter.]

Oh, my God! Effort never betrays you! Actually, I’m not a bride yet! No wonder people are still watching her actions.

It was clear that it was because of someone’s trick that made it so she had not succeeded until now.

Whoo! Whoo! Yey!

Look, I got this letter as soon as I started socializing, right?

Brenti.

Anyone who has studied abroad seems to be the new trend in this society.

Of course!

[Thank you, Countess,

I’m grateful for your interest. I want to have a meeting with him as soon as possible.]

Was this meeting made too fast?

The maid looked at the letter over my shoulder and said with a worried look, “Will it be okay this time?”

“Why?”

“Well. I was worried about number three the other day. Maybe all men are just like that.”

“Shh! He’s being introduced to me, and the man knows a countess that I got to know recently as well. So it’s going to be okay! How many meetings do I have to arrange anyway? I just need to do it!”

A puff of air came out of my nose.

My heart fluttered after a long time. I may be able to achieve the blind date I’ve been looking forward to this time.
