Seeing their dumbfounded faces made her feel even better. 'Though unexpected, this was worthwhile.' Since Beatus had initiated the game first, she had no reason to avoid it either. Selvia nodded toward Ratius. Finally, Ratius opened his mouth. "There must be one thing everyone is curious about." People's eyes sparkled at his words. However, Leliana kept her mouth shut tight and only looked forward. She wore an unwilling expression as if she had realized what words would come from…-

Selvia and Ratius appeared together in the banquet hall. Those who came from other countries looked at her with eyes full of anticipation. Unable to believe they would actually see the child of prophecy, they couldn't take their eyes off her. The two sat at the head table, holding hands. "From now on, quite interesting things will unfold." "I think so too." Soon after, everyone looked only at Ratius. He raised his wine glass and spoke. "Thank you for attending this occasion. I…

The morning of the wedding day dawned. Was it because the gift he gave her the previous day was too much? Or was it because the kiss with him was too sweet? Selvia couldn't sleep properly all night because of her finely trembling heart. The fact that people were coming to see her wasn't important. Her mind was completely filled with Ratius. Just thinking about facing him made her feel her face reddening already. Just then, there was a knock and Mellin's voice was heard. "Marquis…

Ratius wanted to show Selvia the book before the wedding. He thought it would ease her mind. However, she wasn't in her room where he expected her to be. "Where is Marquis Borche?" "She went out for a walk briefly. She's in the greenhouse in the garden." At the maid's words, Ratius turned his steps. His footsteps toward the garden were light. He carefully entered the greenhouse where she would be. Selvia was sitting in a chair, lost in thought. "So here you are." Ratius smiled while…

"You seem rather light for someone who came in such a hurry." Amon smiled with crinkled eyes at Ratius, who tilted his head askew. He seemed displeased that there was nothing in his hands. "I know why you called for me." "Is it that you have no news to tell, or that you have no intention to tell it?" There was a reason he had waited despite knowing Selvia was anxious. He believed Amon would not be able to lie to him. Ratius nodded at Amon, who stood without sitting down. "Since this…

Selvia lifted the familiar necklace from inside the box. "Isn't this exactly the same as the one Your Grace has?" "Yes, it's identical." She twirled the necklace around. Just how many of these did he make? Besides, hadn't she given the real one to Ratius? He seemed to have no idea that Ratius might have given it to her. That made sense, since the Lord Harwin Grey that Father knew was a different person from Ratius. He hadn't even properly seen Ratius's face yet. She read the letter…

Beatus opened the letter that came from the Karina Empire. His face crumpled instantly. What Selvia sent could be considered a threat. 'Never spent the night together?' What nonsense she dared to spout. Even if it was a past he wanted to erase, what happened couldn't be undone. Beatus quietly recalled the night he spent with Selvia. "......" However, no matter how much he tried to remember, he couldn't properly recall even kissing her. The moment he tried to kiss her, that was…

Selvia started her day reading the newspaper. Neighboring countries continued sending gifts to the Karina Empire. It was becoming burdensome now. "I wonder how Delpheron will respond." The letter had been sent, so it would arrive in a few days. From Beatus's perspective, this would have been unthinkable. He would naturally think that Selvia had shared his bed. He might not believe it and try to verify the truth. Unless Leliana stayed quiet. She was curious how Leliana would react…

After changing clothes, Selvia was about to head to the dining room to have lunch with him. "The weather is nice today, so I'd like to eat outside." Ratius said with a nonchalant expression. If anything, it was Selvia who was being cautious. She headed to the garden with him. Come to think of it, he seemed to really like this place. The chirping of birds and leaves rustling in the wind sounded like nature's song. The food laid out on the table looked even more appetizing in the natural…

Strange rumors started circulating the next morning. Selvia doubted her ears. 'They're sending out wedding invitations?' She hadn't heard anything separately from Ratius. Worrying alone would only lead to misunderstandings. So it seemed faster to ask directly. First, she needed to confirm when the talk had started. "Mellin, you said this rumor suddenly spread?" "Yes. I also heard the maids talking about it." "They said only a few invitations would be sent to other…
