Chapter 4

Translated by Lianaarn

Even a seven year old child will also notice. This is not a normal relationship.

It was clear that the relationship was deep and persistent.

Nathan clicked its tongue inside, by Dillian’s sharp response.

‘Tsk, this man has a good hunch. Lia, I don’t know how much your lies will work.’

Even if the lies will soon be discovered, the truth could not be revealed now.

How can I say that my precious child smashed your head in the back.

“I have nothing to say!”

Before Lia herself opened her mouth, Nathan had no intention of talking about it first.

‘Strict owl. Its mouth is heavy.’

But he couldn’t step down. Because for Dillian, even a small clue is needed.

“I will change the question. What did I do to her?”

That time, a sad glare by the sharp eyes of the bird passed by.

Nathan took a breath to calm the heat that rose to the top of its head.

‘You jerk, in your eyes you are going to eat my healthy child!’

Going to say the word that rose to the end of its neck, but Nathan holds it.

It was because Lia didn’t want it.

Everything is for Lia’s sake.

Nathan, the holy guardian of Lia, instead killing its anger, fiercely spit out its words.

“You… did a terrible thing…”

“So, what exactly is that?”

So, Lia, that woman doesn’t want to talk about that.

But why? Because she can be blamed for doing something wrong?

It’s the same for hiding the relationship with that woman named Lia.

‘No way, there was really something going on.’

If it’s really so, why hide it? If it’s really a deep relationship, there was no reason to hide it.

Is that something amazing to hide? People are inherently selfish. It’s even more so when it comes to love.

There’s nothing beneficial for hiding it.

Lia Delice is hiding something else. Exactly what is it?

‘Is she going to prey on me? Or that woman is the one who drove me to death? Or she almost killed me then pretending to help me?’

As soon as Dillian almost got the truth, Nathan, who had been keeping its mouth shut, warned.

“Let me tell you this one for sure. “

Nathan, who was looking up at Dillian, flew up and met his eyes level. The anger burned like an active volcano when the two eyes met.

“You have to beg Lia and beg again.”

For anyone who hears, it seems Dillian himself is the one who was guilty.

‘The one who drove someone to death is not her, but me? Or did I approach her with an impure heart?’

What the hell is going on? I’m going crazy and frustrated for not knowing anything.

In the end, Dillian, who couldn’t overcome the frustration and was cornered, grabbed Nathan with a strong force.

“Uggh! This, jerk!”

At the time he was about to hear the answer from the damned owl, Lia came.

With reddened eyes.

“Sorry for being late. Hurry, let’s eat.”

Looking at the wet eyes, Dillian’s hand loosened.

Nathan screamed and pecked his head, but he didn’t feel any pain.

Dillian stared at the blank-faced Lia then turned up and fixed his head.

‘There’s no way a woman with that face is going to kill me.’

At the time when doubts about Lia slowly faded.

Tuk.

Tears falling from Lia’s eyes. At that moment, the leftover suspicion disappeared cleanly.

“Ah, it’s still like this.”

Lia calmly wipes away her tears, surprised by that, Dillian closes his eyes.

…Even though it’s something I don’t know, it looked like I must have done something wrong.

Yeah, I must be a jerk.

Dillian’s misunderstanding deepened.

***

Wow, how can onions be this spicy? Isn’t this a biochemical weapon?

As I wiped away my falling tears and raised my head, I saw Nathan and Dillian who hardened like stones.

‘What are they doing?’

Why is Dillian looking at me with that kind of face, and why Nathan is tearing off Dillian’s hair while he is looking like that.

It was Nathan who came to its senses first in that strange situation.

“Lia! Why, why crying! Is it because of that jerk? I will get that jerk!”

“On… No, it’s nothing.”

I was going to say it was because of onions, but I glanced at Dillian and just blurted the end of my speech.

‘I can’t say it, because it’s embarrassing.’

No matter how we were going to say farewell soon, it was shameful to say it was because of the onion.

After pressing down my throbbing eyes to calm them down, I approached Dillian and held out the porridge.

While giving eye signs lightly with the intention to quickly eat it, he didn’t think about receiving it.

‘Is he angry because it is late?’

When I peeked secretly, taking a hint of Dillian, his eyes suddenly became emotional.

‘Ugh, it really is. But this man is really shameless. How late exactly am I?’

Complaints burst out inside my heart, but I didn’t have the guts to speak it out.

Stamping his feet while couldn’t do this or that, then covering his face with his big hands, Dillian brought up an unexpected remark.

“I am sorry.”

“Yes? What for…”

“Just, I just feel like I am in the wrong.”

I was dumbfounded by the sudden flood of apologies. But the one who was surprised was only me, Nathan is saying ‘Sure, it is.’ while nodding its head.

After a while, he put down his hand and then he was facing me with a determined look.

“I will take responsibility.”

What for?

“Yeah! You have to take responsibility!”

What are you going to take responsibility for exactly?

“Please give me a chance to make up for it.”

What are you trying to make up for exactly? Frustrated by the conversation that I can’t keep up with, I just give up thinking about it.

“It is enough for me if Sir Dillian can go home safely.”

“Me too, want it to be like that, but as Miss Lia can see, I didn’t remember anything, so it’s hard for me to go back right away.”

When he said he didn’t know where his house was, I shut up my mouth.

The treatment is over, so it’s enough to ask him to get out of the house but…

“I am sorry. I am troubling you.”

Dang! That face!

What am I going to do if you put that abandoned puppy-like face on me?

Looking at his desperate face as if he would collapse at any moment, my heart kept feeling weak.

‘No, snap out of it! Don’t fall for the cover! Remember, the inside is a beast!’

I tried hard to turn my head. By the obvious rejection Dillian spoke in a weak voice.

“And, it seems like it will be dangerous in this weather.”

“What is wrong with the weather?”

I clearly saw the sun rising brightly in the morning. I opened the tightly closed window to see that.

But it wasn’t the warm sunshine that welcomed me,

Whiiing!

It was a cold snowstorm.

Faced by the snowflakes, I hurriedly closed the window. My hands trembled.

“This, what this…”

The windows rattled by the swirling snowstorms.

“I don’t want to trouble Miss Lia, but you should take care of the precious life you saved, right?”

“…”

“I must be shameless, but I will keep it for a while.”

“…”

“I will do everything you ask me to do. You can do whatever you want.”

“That’s great. We’re running out of firewood, so go and get some.”

“I’m not talking with you.”

Nathan. You say people with divine power are loved by God. But what is this?

What love. It was clear that God hated me.

At the time I was looking with flustered eyes at the conversation between Nathan and Dillian, a large hand popped in front of me.

“I am looking forward to working with you.”

Dillian looked at me and bent his eyes beautifully.

‘It’s ruined. Ruined.’

I was stuck helplessly.

With a time bomb that you don’t know when its memory will come back.

Chapter 2. I hate this cohabitation!

Tap tap tap. An exciting sound of cutting resonates in the kitchen.

As if riding the rhythm, Nathan’s head moved.

“For whom you are cooking that hard?”

“Who do you think for?”

Of course it’s Dillian. I prepared breakfast by moving busily shaking off completely available ingredients, non available ingredients.

‘You can’t feed the noble duke with shabby food.’

Somehow it’s okay to struggle to make a good impression.

Don’t know what will happen, but if I take care of him well, maybe he will show mercy when he regains his memory.

“There’s nothing that I can prepare, but please eat it.”

Dillian has no answer to my words that means hurry up and eat it. He just stared at me with his arm folded.

I asked carefully while wiping my cold hand on the apron.

“Is there something you feel is lacking?”

Of course, it’s lacking to be compared to the meals of the nobility, but this was the best for now.

‘And he didn’t even remember anything!’

With the piercing gaze that seemed like it landed on my cheeks, I got cold sweat inside.

Dillian asked me with a low and serious voice.

“Are you uncomfortable with me?”

Of course. How would I be comfortable! I, who wanted to shout it out, held back while forcing myself to pull up the corner of my lips.

“That is no way.”

“You look uncomfortable.”

“It is not.”

“Your mouth is twitching.”

I pressed down the shaky mouth with my hand.

“It is because I have facial cramps.”

“Ha.”

Without giving a small gap, Dillian with a cold shoulder sighed.

“People might think I am the King and Miss Lia is my maid.”

King is right tho. He is a man who has built a huge and independent force to keep the imperial family in check.

While thinking like that on the inside, I shook my shoulder.

“I am not hungry-.”

Growl-

“…I was going to eat later, but I suddenly felt really hungry.”

I pulled a chair right away and sat on the opposite of Dillian.

Senseless stomach! Senseless belly clock!

‘I was going to eat separately in case I will get indigestion if we eat together…!’

The duke who lost his memory, was too gentlemanly.

“Do you always eat like this?”

Nathan, who was aiming for meat on the table, humph, blew its nose.

“No way. What reason is this brat who eats with just a piece of bread as everything in the world is annoying, preparing such a feast.”

At the horrific gaze that says It’s because of you, Dillian nodded. And the way he stared at me is strange.

“It’s because of me.”

“No, this…”

“I’m grateful for Miss Lia’s sincerity, but let’s eat as usual next time, and it’s better to decide who takes turns to prepare the meal.”

The trick to make a good impression must have been too obvious. My face is burning up.

“Wh, who said I will always cook like this? It is because the patient must eat well and rest well to recover soon! That’s why!”

I threatened to say that there was no soup for tomorrow, then stuck my face on the plate.

“Is that so?”

“That’s right.”

“I thought you were trying to look good to me.”

“Cough.”

As I hurriedly covered my mouth then raised my head, I saw his red eyes bent into half moon.
