Who is Elysia?
When Sabiel glared at her, Karina shrugged.
She wanted to say oops.
It must be a secret that Lady Elysia worked for the Grand Duke while she lost her mory.
The most stressful part for Karina these days was the social manners.
Shes in awkward situations getting matchmaking or courtship because of Sabiel. Another big challenge was the scandal.
It was common knowledge that a person who beca a priest or priestess would live in a pure body for the rest of their life.
With the blessing of the Five Gods and Oder.
It would be scandalous even if a female priest who had lost her mory spent a considerable amount of ti in the house of an unmarried male aristocrat.
However, if the priestess was the daughter of the Duke of Yuter and the nobleman was Grand Duke Clevent, it would be even more chaotic.
This was a problem for Elysia, but it was also a problem for Karina herself.
And there is only one way to end a scandal, cover it up with marriage.
Since the relationship will be officially recognized and established, there is an implicit pressure to keep quiet about this matter, and after that, no one will speak openly about it.
Moreover, Eleons mother was the only princess of the Empire.
Emperor Markis, who is fond of his sister, would do so for his nephews honor and loyal Grand Duke.
Then what about ?
Karina is in trouble.
With her eyes on the top, she could no longer think of anyone but Eleon, whom she could swear to be with for the rest of her life.
Sabiel and Eleon were cousins.
Tall and black hair.
Long legs and good physical appearance.
Fair skin, almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and soft, thin lips.
Although Sabiel was a piece of trash, he was also a handso man.
Two n.
Two chances.
What would beco of if I lost Eleon here?
At this rate, my anxiety spiked at the thought that Count Harrington and the Countess would kick out for dishonoring the family.
I did nothing wrong.
When I t Elysia at the Imperial Palace on the day of our debut, Elysia tricked and apologized for lying.
And she said the reason was that she lost her mory and still cant rember anything.
Elysia never asked to keep it a secret that she was Rona, so it wasnt my fault anyway.
However, for my own benefit, I decided to cover up that secret.
I cant make Eleon the victim of a scandal because of my montary slip of the tongue.
What are you talking about?
You just said Elysia was Rona.
It was unsightly seeing Sabiel leaning towards and speaking to with a temper.
Are you here to insult or to woo Elysia?
I had no intention of giving Sabiel an honest answer.
She had no desire for a petty little revenge.
I never said that.
However, the exhilaration was also brief and seeing Sabiel, whose blue eyes looked darker than usual due to blood in his eyes, she ca to regret that she had done sothing wrong.
Then Ill go now.
It was then that Karina was about to turn around.
Her body was dragged away by Sabiel.
Ugh Ugh.
Sabiel placed his lips on hers making her gasp in surprise.
Karinas eyes widened in astonishnt.
Sabiel coveted her lips and didnt let Karina escape from his arms.
Sobbing.
Karina resisted and bit Sabiels lip.
Only then did Sabiel release Karina, look at her, and rubbed his lips with his fingertips. He saw bloodstains on his fingers.
Just because I threw you away didnt an you could go to Eleon.
What..what.did.
Did you do it to make jealous or to get my attention? If thats the case, Id say it was kind of successful.
Karina turned white from shock and trembled.
Sabiel got close to her and whispered in her ear.
Wait patiently. Ill call you back to the palace for one night.
Sabiel, who showed favor to Karina by his own standards, turned around and walked towards the carriage.
Elysia is Rona?
The woman who served alongside Eleon.
He did not know how Elysia, who appeared near Lake Laurel, had co to work in the capital, which is three days away by carriage.
Now that I rember, the rangers said they took her to a castle.
Regardless, Sabiel wanted to kill him.
Elysia is my woman.
She was a woman who had not been within Eleons reach since she was born.
It was Empress Seraphina who fostered Sabiels obsession with Elysia.
A baby girl was born into the Dukes family. Im thinking of making her the princes wife.
Its a phrase hes been hearing since he was little.
She was a precious young lady with high social status, and as soon as she was born, instead of becoming his wife, she beca a priestess.
Attending the Hadunsha prayer eting with Empress Seraphina was simple curiosity.
Elysia Yuter.
The woman who joined the Temple and trained for 10 years finally beca a priestess and was able to appear in front of people.
He wondered what kind of person Elysia was that made Empress Seraphina talk about her until her mouth grew tired.
May the blessings of the five gods and Oder be with you.
The mont he saw Elysia in a new white uniform and wearing a white hood with the ends of her long blond hair dyed white. Sabiel felt sothing twist in his head.
That woman should have co to in a white dress and a white veil.
She should have been mine.
But with the divine mark on her body, she becos a priestess and remains at a distance.
The next mont, Sabiel felt an unknown anger, and even he couldnt understand why.
However, those feelings were enough to ignite his endless obsession.
Lets go.
Yes, Your Highness.
The carriage door was closing.
Ah. I need you to prepare sothing.
Please order.
Get a cage that can hold an animal.
A cage?
The lieutenant raised his head as if he did not understand what Sabiel said.
It doesnt have to be that big. I will often release it in my room. Its just to lock it up for a while when its not listening. But I dont like it when its too ugly.
Yes, Your Highness. Ill do as you wish.
Sabiel lifted the corner of his mouth as the carriage door closed.
Hunting was an activity that he enjoyed very much.
* * * * *
It was at dawn the next day that an invitation from Sabiel to the Imperial Palace arrived.
What..what is this?
Mariela turned pale when she saw it.
Sabiel inviting our Elysia Oh, this is so absurd!
There was nothing written about where she was invited or for what purpose.
Sohow, she felt that he had no intention of returning her.
If I am called to the Imperial Palace like this..
Will it really be like the original story?
Will it be in keeping with Elysias role to have Sabiels child, abandoned and killed by him?
Elysia was afraid.
They change the original story well when others are possessed, but why is it so hard for ?
Elysia felt like crying.
But she cannot trust or depend on anyone.
Never. No way! Absolutely not!
Mariela stumbled and collapsed as if she knew what the suspicious invitation ant.
They took her directly to her bedroom.
What? Whats wrong with Mariela?
She wanted to know the conversation between Elysia and the main characters, but she fainted first at an invitation like it was the start of her death flag.
This is really suspicious.
The one who really wants to cry is , but because of Mariela, I couldnt even cry because of embarrassnt.
Karina and Sabiel did not show up today, perhaps because of the aftermath that the four faced yesterday.
However, Eleon, who ca back today, looked at her face and asked with concern.
Are you sick?
No.
You dont look well.
Then please go early.
Hmm.
Eleon didnt like it, so he didnt answer.
As he headed under the tree for so shade, Elysia followed.
Eleon and Elysia sat next to each other on a bench.
Why do you co here every day?
Youre asking because you dont know, right?
Eleon is looking for Rona. And wants to marry her.
But again, he doesnt openly try to confirm that Rona is her.
Is that how certain you are?
But it had nothing to do with .
Was it because of what Elysia went through that I dreamt of Sabiel?
I didnt want to admit it.
I wanted to separate myself from what the owner of the body suffered.
However, it ca to a halt the mont the original progress was reached.
It felt like being caught in a dense web and trapped in a thin thread.
Her motivation was gone, and a feeling of helplessness that she couldnt resist dominated her mind.
She had never imagined that Elysia could be unhappy, but did she live with those feelings all her life?
Its so so terrible.
Even for a brief mont, Eleon didnt take his eyes off her as if forcing her to answer.
Elysia, who sighed briefly, barely responded.
Actually, I dont want to know.
Eleon was caught off guard.
I think Mrs. Oze over there knows.
Elysia saw Mrs. Oze standing in the distance in the blazing sun.
She opened her fan and pretended to fan herself, looking up at the distant sky.
Elysia raised her hand and called out to her.
Madam, I have a question.
Wait. Its cheating if you ask her.
Why?
You dont know what fairness is? You have to figure it out yourself.
Eleon frowned slightly.
It was not easy to see an enormous handso man frowning, so he evoked a heart-pounding charm.
Dont you have to go sowhere else instead of coming here?
To Karina, Karinas house, or Count Harrington.
The fate of this world, to the place where the original story leads.
Or maybe you should look for Rona sowhere else. He wouldnt be able to know that I was Rona.
Its strange. You act like you dont really know why Im here every day.
I dont know and I dont want to know.
Elysia grumbled annoyed at Eleon.
You should know.
Your Highness, do you believe in fate?
It was impulsive to ask.
Is this a test? Do I have to give the correct answer?
No. Im just curious what Your Highness thinks.
Eleons eyebrows fell a little.
I believe in fate.
Really?
Didnt I et you?
Elysias eyes widened.
Do you say that to anyone?
Do I look like such a person?
Actually, I wasnt quite sure what the situation was right now.
Eleon is looking for Rona.
But Karina felt her destiny when she ran into him and said sothing to her at the debutante ball.
And I wanted to go back to my world where Won Yoon-Ji lived.
I could have avoided it without getting involved with Sabiel.
But when Eleon circled around , Karina followed him to the Dukes residence, and Sabiel appeared like an ant chasing sugar.
I dont see a way out.
Feeling frustrated, Elysia even wanted to bla the innocent Eleon for nothing.
Eleon tilted his head.
I guess you really dont know why I co to see you every day.
Your Highness has never been in a relationship. I thought you were trying to ask for help.
It doesnt matter if its Rona or Karina. This is enough for to get away with it, right?
How can you believe that I am here to see you for that? Will you think Im serious if I propose to you?
Propropose?
Eleon found it funny and laughed seeing Elysia surprised.
I heard that most young people like to date before exchanging a formal courtship letter. Youre so special.
What? Are you saying you like now?
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
Elysia covered her mouth.
Rona! You said you were looking for Rona!
You said youd marry that woman, so why ? I couldnt keep up with what Eleon was saying.
Why are you surprised? Im the one who should be surprised. For so reason, I thought it was strange that I wasnt allowed to hold your hand even when I ca every day for over a week.
Fate is decided.
Elysia said.
It can never be changed. Whats decided will happen.
