The Monster Duke Mistook Me for His Wife Chapter 98

Words that she couldn’t even say lingered in her mouth.

 

To break up with his grandson, no. She can’t, what’s the reason? Even if they fought over this, it all turned to nothing.

 

“Dillian doesn’t know about this oracle, so don’t talk about it.”

“Why did you hide it?”

“If he knows, will he stay still? He will be furious and doubt how can you believe the word of the temple.”

“Yes…. That’s right….”

 

If it were Dillian in the past, that would definitely happen.

 

But what if the current Dillian finds out about this oracle?

 

Dillian, who is disgusted with temple-related matters, will welcome it with both arms up.

 

Sure, he will be absolutely delighted. He was happy to be able to seize her legally and immediately carry out the wedding ceremony.

 

So when she heard the oracle from Aaron, she didn’t open her mouth even once.

 

It is not an abstract concept such as God’s destiny or God’s will,

 

‘It’s because I just wanted to show that it is my will.’

 

She didn’t want the situation to be misunderstood because of the oracle.

 

“When are you going to tell Sir Dillian?”

“Haven’t thought about that yet. That’s a story I will bury in my heart for the rest of my life.”

 

In response to Ria’s more gentle reaction than expected, Terzhe comforted her with a softer voice.

 

“Child, I understand you don’t want to break up with Dillian. Even if you think about it, our grandson must be great. He’s handsome, tall, has a lot of money, and is talented. Isn’t he the best husband material?”

 

Therze’s voice, which had been bragging about Dillian, subsided again.

 

“But this is a crucial matter of his life or death.”

 

Terzhe, who did not even dream that Ria was the child of that fate, repeatedly repeated the words to Ria to break up, as if brainwashing.

 

“I’ll give you a month. Decide within that time.”

 

 

 

Chapter 15. Rushing Like A Wave

 

 

 

After Terzhe left, I was left alone in the pavilion, staring blankly at the sky.

 

“Child of fate….”

 

Haha, I burst out laughing.

 

So he pushed me away for that reason.

 

It was not because I couldn’t learn, not because I was a commoner, but because I wasn’t the owner of the oracle.

 

“Even if a young lady from a very prestigious family came, she would be eliminated immediately.”

 

And among all those great women who were eliminated, only I was accepted.

 

It is often referred to as a free pass’s face, isn’t it?

 

“I never thought I would be that kind of person.”

 

If I had revealed it to Terzhe on the spot, life in the duke castle would have been more comfortable. And I would have received full support, right?

 

But I didn’t want to tell Terzhe about something that Dillian didn’t even know.

 

If I needed to, Dillian was the first person who should hear it. From my mouth and no one else’s.

 

“Were you here?”

 

A low but friendly voice cuts into my ears.

 

Dillian approached and sat next to me, looking at me.

 

“You have come far enough. I’m looking for you, aren’t you tired?”

 

His lips, softly curved like a crescent moon, whispered gently.

 

Moonlight gently shattered behind Dillian ‘s back. The red eyes that shone brightly captured me.

 

“… It just happened somehow.”

 

I stared blankly at his face and muttered. Was it that strange?

 

Dillian stretched out his hand. The hand that touched my cheek was hot.

 

Or is my face that’s hot?

 

A beautiful face, like a statue painstakingly created by God or a masterpiece painted by selling the painter’s soul, is only looking at me.

 

My heart raced at that fact.

 

When did it get so deep? It was completely unexpected.

 

“Is there any way out?”

 

Is there any way back? Can I get out of this feeling?

 

Trying to ignore this feeling, but it came over to me like a tidal wave.

 

Did Dillian understand my nonsensical words?

 

He reached out his hand towards me.

 

“Do you have to go out? Let’s walk together.”

 

“What if I had to walk alone?”

 

“Then I will go ahead and wait. Then you will be less scared and less lonely.”

 

Dillian, who had already arrived at his destination, reached out to me.

 

“….”

“I’ll be waiting for Miss Ria to arrive.”

“Even if it will take a long time?”

“You will come before I die, right? I’m a very patient person, so that I will wait.”

 

Patience? You didn’t have that, though. It wasn’t a hilarious story, but it made me laugh.

 

“Even if you got lost, you will return that way.”

“Why?”

 

Dillian looked at me with serious eyes. Contrary to the enthusiasm at first glance, he answered calmly.

 

As if stating the obvious.

 

“Because it wasn’t your choice. You were on that road again when you came to your senses.”

 

I glanced at his smiling face with joy.

 

“… Sir Dillian is right.”

 

This feeling was not my choice.

 

I grabbed Dillian’s hand.

 

“No matter how you turn around, this is the only way in the end.”

 

I’m already in love

 

I don’t know when, maybe it’s been a long time.

 

 

***

 

 

Standing on the rock, Aina took a deep breath and looked up at the setting sun.

 

‘I’m finally here.’

 

Now, the high ground is right in front of her. In a little while, she can catch the Darkness.

 

However, that’s it for today.

 

She heard Harris giving orders to his men from behind.

 

“We have to camp here today.”

 

At the commander’s words, the men moved in unison and pitched the tent, and Aina, who watched the scene, took an empty water bag and headed for a nearby lake.

 

Meanwhile, the dusky sky began to darken gradually.

 

She must return to the camp before the forest is covered with night. The hand pouring the water became faster and faster.

 

Pat, pat.

 

A bright light flickered when she raised her head to the sound of approaching footsteps.

 

“I was surprised that you suddenly disappeared.”

 

Fabian, with a torch, asked anxiously. Aina’s face looked tired at that sight.

 

“Am I a kid? All you have to do is say that you are doing your job well and pass it on.”

 

It was a blunt tone, but she didn’t push or drive him away like before.

 

“I didn’t even care if it was daytime. It’s night. I would have also followed, even if it was the commander.”

“Sir Harris would have been disgusted if he had heard that.”

 

Aina, who recalled the image of Harris hitting Fabian in the back of the head because he felt disgusted, burst into laughter.

 

“Don’t say that. I might scold you.”

“I’ll think about it when you bring all the water bags.”

 

So, all the water bags were Fabian’s responsibility. Aina, who naturally held the torch, urged him to return.

 

After reuniting at the founding festival, it was a huge development, considering how close they had been.

 

And it was Ria who made a huge contribution to improving their relationship.

 

Had it not for her advice, would he have been able to be close to Aina like this again?

 

Thanks to Ria’s push, he met Aina again and became friends with her again.

 

“Is Ria-nim doing well?”

“What the, why are you worried about Ria?”

 

Aina’s harsh voice flew in. Fabian’s heart was pounding in those bright eyes.

 

Is this jealousy?

 

“Only I can worry about Ria, don’t think of her.”

 

Well yes. I, who expected it, was stupid.

 

It was as if, looking at a rival with sharp eyes, Aina stole the water from Fabian’s arms.

 

‘There is still a long way to go to fully restore the relationship. I need to consult with Ria-nim for sure.’

 

The feeling of wariness towards Ria had long since disappeared without a trace. To Fabian, Ria was like Cupid.

 

“Saintess, Fabian. Come here for a while.”

 

Aina, who handed out water to the knights around her, approached Harris at his call.

 

As if he was clearing the path of the Darkness, a crystal ball flashed next to Harris.

 

Fabian asked, looking at the slowly blinking red dot.

 

“It’s been staying in the same location for three days.”

“Right. Since it doesn’t leave the Arest estate, there’s a high probability that this is its home base.”

“Certainly, it’s a position that brat will like.”

“Why? Shouldn’t it be avoided since there is a temple in Arest?”

 

The last divine creature, Arest, was there to protect the temple.

 

Isn’t that a place to avoid from the standpoint of the Darkness? Fabian shook his head at Aina’s question.

 

“Arest estate has the largest black market in the empire.”

 

It was the Arest estate where various illegal activities, including human trafficking, underground auctions, and slave trade, were carried out without any sanctions.

 

“Besides, Arest-nim lives behind the wall, so there is a high probability that he will not care about what is happening outside.”

 

Unlike the other divine creatures who all gathered in the Great Temple at the news of Ria, Arest did not move from his place.

 

Aina nodded her head, remembering the divine creature with a heavy buttock.

 

‘Well, I’ve only met him once in my previous life.’

 

Arest was a hermit-type divine creature with a different personality from Nathan.

 

Unlike the other divine creatures who love people, Arest does not like people.

 

“If this is correct, we got that brat’s position then.”

 

A land not managed by a divine creature and a place where human trafficking is prevalent. It was perfect for building up strength.

 

“If we are certain that it has established a site here, the temple will not be safe either.”

 

The two nodded at Aina’s low voice.

 

“We need to hurry up.”
