Sarah laughed familiarly and threw out everything the knights pushed into the carriage.

Is that a confession? Did I just hear his confession?

Sarah's mind quickly became complicated.

'He just said he liked me, right? Does he want to get married? Is it a proposal?'

Where would I spend my old age? If Claude has children, I want to raise my grandchildren with my own hands, but when Claude grows up and leads the family, I want to travel the world with Ethan......

Sarah had already dreamed of marrying Ethan and growing old together, later holding wrinkled hands and closing their eyes one day at a time. Seeing Sarah pouting her lips and saying nothing, Ethan pulled the corner of his lips together and smiled. Then he didn't miss the gap and put the fruit through Sarah's lips.

"......!"

In an instant, a bitter taste spread throughout her mouth. All the confusion and imagination were blown away in one shot.

"Ah, urk!"

Sarah covered her mouth with tears in her eyes. It was the fruit of the legend that if you eat this alone, you won't catch a cold even if you're hit by a cold wind for several days. But there was a reason why people say they didn't want to eat this fruit even if they caught a cold. It was too tasteless and bitter and numbed the entire tongue.

'What confession? He must hate me. He deceived me.'

Sarah wept, shuddering at the betrayal. If he really liked her, he couldn't do this. It was clear that he had confused her with his lies to make her eat the fruit. While she was looking at Ethan with a resentful stare, he still smiled, put a sugary orange in warm water, and held it out to her.

"Drinking this will make it a little less bitter."

"......"
