Yulia's POV:
“Ce……Cecil! I’ll call you separately!”
I was held by Chester’s hand and was forced to move away from Cecil.
It wasn’t until the third floor that Chester let go of my wrist.
“Yulia. Wasn’t today the day you were supposed to go out with me?”
“That, that, that’s, right?”
“But why don’t you focus on me and keep your eyes off other people?”
“…Cecil is my friend …… and Chester is looking for her.”
“I’ll decide whether or not she’s the one I’m looking for.”
I looked sideways, but there was not a single person on the third floor. Originally, this place should be full of customers, but it wasn’t, which made me feel strange.
He stroked my cheek and said.
“I rented a floor because I didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone.”
“…… I wish there were people here.”
I thought something would happen when I was alone with you.
“I’ll be more careful next time.”
“…..”
Do you know how terrifying it is to be alone with the villain?
“……Chester.”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t Cecil…… the person you’re looking for……?”
It should have been Cecil.
I read that the reason why he was so obsessed with Cecil, the heroine in the original work, was because she was the person who had visited him a long time ago.
“Yulia, even if the person I’m looking for is her, I’ll marry you, so you don’t have to be anxious.”
“……”
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m a person full of responsibility.”
“……I’m not responsible.”
I had to get rid of the responsibility I had. There was nothing I couldn’t do if I could avoid marrying him.
Seeing that my father couldn’t respond strongly, he seemed to be an influential person.
So I’d better say no in a more moderate way.
“I know that Yulia is a person with no responsibility at all.”
“……”
I felt weirdy bad about this. Of course, it was what I said, but it felt very strange to hear it like this.
“Chester, don’t come to the Imperial Castle.”
“I can’t go there?”
“……I won’t say anything about officially visiting. But, please refrain from secretly coming to my room!”
Was it really the imperial guard’s poor security, or was it because he was a villain that could come into my room without being detected?
I didn’t know which one was right, but I had to block him from coming to my room in advance.
“Right.”
It was surprisingly straightforward.
“If we get married, I won’t have to visit there anyway.”
“……”
That’s right.
“Yulia
“..yes?”
“Didn’t we meet when we were young?”
That’s the line you say to the heroine. Why are you saying that to me?
No, when and where would I have met you?
If I hadn’t met you at Cecil’s birthday party, I wouldn’t have met you in the future.
My biggest mistake in my life was doing something like that with you!
“No. I’ve never seen you.”
“……Is that so?”
Why are you looking at me like that? It’s very burdensome.
It’s not a common subject, but the villain is too good looking.
“Chester, stop staring at me.”
“What?”
“You keep looking at me. It’s uncomfortable.”
“You’re right in front of me, how can I not stare?”
The drink came out of my mouth as I was speechless.
Come to think of it, I haven’t ordered yet, so why did I get a drink?
And the most suspicious part was that this was the drink I always have when I come here.
I didn’t drink coffee because it was bitter, but I drank fresh fruit juice and it came out.
Did you know, because I was a regular customer or did this villain conduct a background investigation? How should I accept this?
“Chester, is there a reason why you have to marry me?”
“Do you need a reason?”
“…I think I’ve said this several times, but I want to marry someone that I love.”
“……”
“Do you love me? No, you don’t.”
I know the answer when I see you remain silent without answering the question for me.
Because you never loved me, you chose silence, the last piece of conscience.
I want to be with my loved one for the rest of my life, and I just didn’t want to be with him for the rest of my life.
From my point of view, it’s just overwork.
“……”
Blood red eyes, which had not been shaken so far, were shaking.
“I want sincere affection! I don’t want a physical relationship…..”
“Yulia. Then should I treat you as an ordinary lover?”
“……”
“Eat delicious food, watch plays, and buy you gifts. If I do this for you, would that be okay?”
No. I just don’t like it because it’s you.
“Yulia. If I whisper that I love you every day, will you marry me?”
“……No. And don’t tell me a lie that you don’t mean.”
Because you’ve never said to me that you love me even if it’s empty words.
Even if I just move on now, and go back to the castle, you’ll start a background investigation on the female lead when you go back to your Duke’s office.
And even if I marry you, it was clear that you would divorce me.
Because I think that what you are doing to me now is just an illusion
“You’ve never told me that you love me.”
“I love you.”
“Don’t say anything you don’t mean now.”
In the meantime, the fruit juice was delicious. It should be a serious situation, but I just love this teste.
The juice was a waste, but I got up from my seat.
