章 5: CHAPTER 5
"I fully understand, Killian was forced into marriage he didn't want to do, and he's probably offended. But that doesn't mean i hate him. He is my husband anyway."
I appealed to Lizzy, who is about to meet Killian and talk about me, to be harmless in her own way. Whether it worked properly or not, Lizzy expression brightened up.
"Miss Edith is really mature and sweet!"
"Oh, Miss Lizzy is such a kind and affectionate person. The dress you wear today suits you very well. No, i think the dress looks pretty thanks to you."
It was sincere.
Wow, how can you be so pretty... I wish I could chew that soft cheek and chew it with my mouth. Lizzy, just leave Cliff and live with this sister. This sister will take good care of you!
"Pee. You must be tired, but i have been holding on to long. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest. Killian will come later."
It was so cute her cheeks turned red. It would be embarrassing to imagine Killian first night since they have been living like brother and sister for 5 years. But you don't have to worry Lizzy, Because that won't happen. I waved my hand to thank Lizzy as she returned, and i was finally able to be left alone in the silence.
"Whoa, is the wedding episode finally over?"
I slumped down on the bed and took a deep sigh. i threw off the bed linen. The maid had worked so hard. I walked to the other side of this room and soaked myself in the bathtub behind the curtain.
"Whew, it's good that it's hot."
It was a bathtub prepared for the couple to wash themselves after having a love affair. Since they thought it's about the time to share the love affairs, the water a little hot, but since i enjoyed going to the sauna in my previous life. it was the perfect temperature for me to warm up my body. As i was soaking in the hot water, my aching body here and there seemed to be loosening slowly.
"If you live as the daughter in law of the Duke, you can ask the maid to prepare a water in the bathtub, right?, amazing, great."
Even though Count Riegelhoff was annoyed and a sharp wind around Killian, this possession was so luckily. It is an inconvenience world without smartphones and internet, but when i was living as Choi su-na, i was enjoying luxury that i never imagined. What if i can't use the internet?
There are books, plays, and operas in this world, hunting competitions and all kinds of picnics, parties, and proms. I don't have to go to work, I don't have to do housework, I don't have worry about my bank account balance, and I don't have to worry about my brother criticize me to borrow a private loan under my name.
"Now, i only need to cut ties with that bastard family....."
I had the confidence to live happily and quietly without interfering with the male lead, female lead, and even the sub-leader my husband in the Ludwig family, but Count Riegelhoff was the problem.
'I don't think it's a suspicious marriage. There's actually a conspiracy going on.'
Duke Ludwig suspected that the Count Rigelhoffs had attached himself on the side of Archduke Langston, who is seeking the position of emperor, and the Count Rigelhoffs proposed a marriage alliance to show his innocence. It is rumored that Count Rigelhoff cares about his daughter Edith, but she is a hostage. Killian, who had become her opponent in the marriage, naturally refused, but Duke Ludwig, who had to hold the leash of Count Riegelhoff of for the time being, persuaded Killian. That's where the heart-wrenching narrative of Killian's fall for Lize comes in.
<"I love you, Lizzy. I will be another woman's husband for just a piece of paper, but my soul will always crave you.">
Killian locked himself in a dark room and sheds a stream of hot tears. The comment section of the episode that recited that line was spectacular. There were so many silly comments saying that I couldn't throw away this stock, that I wanted to see the writer, and asking for Lizzy have a harem.
Anyway, Killian goes even though he has such a desperate heart. He had no choice but to follow the decision of the Duke of Ludwig, the head of the family. Because the interests of the family were more important.
"That's the sadness of the sub male lead."
Maybe the main character Cliff's trick was involved in the process. On the surface, Killian, with a chilly impression, would be more obsessed with Lizzy, but in reality, Cliff, who seemed soft at first glance, was much crazier. So maybe he took Killian off before the situation got serious.
'Ah, whatever, I don't know. I want to take a good rest today. I'm tired.'
I relaxed, leaving my complicated thoughts to tomorrow. I was very tired because I had been suffering from nervousness all week after being possessed in this novel. As I relaxed, I fell asleep, so I dozed off with my head resting on the bathtub. Thanks to this, I can't hear someone coming in and opening the door.
"You washed yourself before the groom came. What a heartless bride."
"Huh!"
Suddenly, I was surprised by the man's voice above my head and covered my chest first.
"Who, Who are you...!"
"Is there anyone else who will enter the bride's room other than the groom? Or maybe there was someone waiting?"
"Uh....? Ki, Killian?"
I don't know if it's unpleasant to be called by his name or because he just doesn't like everything about Edith, Killian's forehead is wrinkled. But it was surprising that he was here.
"...I thought you wouldn't come."
Of course it was. In the original, there was a scene where Killian and Lizzy had a conversation about this point. When Lizzy says to be nice to Edith, Killian grabs Lizzy's wrist and asks if she's serious, and just as he is about to kiss her while looking at her desperately, Cliff appears and interrupts. In the end, Killian left Lizzy by Cliff's side and walked away, so he went into his room and drank his drink to soothe his sore throat. Anyway, if that's the case, doesn't that mean he didn't enter the bridal room? Killian snorted at my vague answer.
"Fortunately, you seem to have some sense."
"I have no choice but to be. Because you even avoided the touch contact while a sharing wedding ring. It's stupid if you don't know it even after seeing it."
Killian stiffened, perhaps not expecting to be attacked. But I never expected him to feel sorry for me. To him, Edith Riegelhof is just the daughter of a mean-man and the culprit who frustrated his love.
"No way, did you expect a passionate courtship?"
As expected, he asked back with a straight line. Rationally, I should have been angry, too. But now everything was just bothersome, I was sleepy, and I felt that I could only save my life if I didn't look bad to Killian. It was physiologically impossible for me to get angry at that face.
"I was just telling you what happened. I'm telling you that I knew you wouldn't come to my room today because you didn't even want to have skin contact with me. So... Are you going to sleep here tonight?"
I spoke in the softest voice I could, but I didn't know what it was like for him to hear. He glared at me displeasedly and then turned away without answering.
"...Why did you come here?"
Has the original changed a bit, or is this the same thing as the original? But now I don't have the energy to think about something in detail. I got out of the half-cold bathtub and wiped myself. I'm going to sleep on that fluffy bed tonight!

"Killian ? Didn't you go to the bride's room?"
On the balcony on the second floor where the moonlight was pouring in, Lizzy was standing there, just as they had parted ways. The ivory-colored dress she was wearing was so much like the color of the bride's that Killian wanted to hold Lizzy's hand and head to his own bedroom. But Lizzy, who he wants so much, tells him to go into the bride's room. She pushed his back.
"I went."
"But why did you come back?"
"She doesn't have any expectations for tonight. It was a bit of a surprise, though."
Lizzy's eyes widened at Killian's answer.
"What are you talking about? Obviously, a while ago....."
"That woman already sitting in the bathtub alone and dozing off?"
".....,yes?"
Seeing Rize's flustered appearance, Killian chuckled.
"Lizzy, it's a problem because you only think of everyone is good."
"But Edith is a good person. Even at dinner a week ago, she accepted me generously."
"It must have been because of my father's eyes. The corners of her mouth trembled from forcing herself to smile."
"It can't be! How sweet she were to me today."
"You have to think carefully about whether it was really friendly or if it was sarcastic with a smile."
Killian couldn't agree with Lizzy no matter how well she spoke about Edit. Who is Count Rigelhoff? He pretends to be cultured and nice on the outside, but isn't he a man who does all sorts of snake tricks behind the scenes? I grew up with such a human being, but there's no way I'll be fine just because I'm her daughter husband. Right now, he pretends not to know anything and pretends to be hypocritical, but it is clear that Edith entered the duchy to help his father with work. He had no choice but to marry Edith to prevent Count Riegelhoff from leaving, but Killian had no intention of continuing this marriage smoothly or for long.
'That greedy Count Rigelhoff will soon dig his own grave, and after that, i can throw that woman away then.'
Killian thought about that and clenched his molars tightly, but Lizzy frowned and put on a troubled expression.
"What's wrong.Lizzy?"
"No, that's... after hearing what Killian said, I wondered if Edith was angry with me earlier..."
"What? Did She's mad at you?"
"Oh, no, not that, I meant I think I made a mistake."
"Tell me what happened. Lizzy."
Killian's eyes quickly grew fierce. Lizzy bit her lips and sighed again.
