Originally, the one who was supposed to succeed next as the Head of Chernicia after grandfather Gunter, was Brother Richard.
But a dozen years ago, when my Chernicia was swallowed up by a red fire, Brother Richard died in front of me.
And now, Chernicia’s only survivors were me and Brian.
If either I or Brian had to lead Chernicia, I thought it was Brian’s job.
But Brian insists it’s my job.
“What about you?”
“I’m… um….”
He answered my question with a slight blush.
“I decided to have the marriage ceremony with Celine before the end of this year. But now Celine is going to Leobrante.”
“Ah…”
I agreed with a sigh.
If he marries Celine, Brian will be the member of Leobrante.
Then I’m the only one left in Chernicia.
“In addition, the Head of Chernicia, who couldn’t even express his sword, is ridiculous.”
“…….”
He was also right.
It is not simply because of Chernicia tradition.
Now that Chernicia’s injustice has not been revealed, the most reasonable cause for the family’s reinstatement will be the sword.
To be exact, he intended to exploit people’s desire for “power to defeat evil.”
“What people need is not just Chernicia’s name, but a hero who will defeat the demons.”
And Brian reminded me once again with a clear voice, as if driving a wedge into my guess.
“But I can’t be the owner of Chernicia because I couldn’t even express my sword properly.”
“…….”
I stayed quiet for a while.
Brian, who wondered at my reaction, called me carefully.
“Hey……?”
“It’s impossible.”
I replied, biting my lower lip.
“Impossible? What do you mean?”
“As you’ve seen, I have children…….”
“It doesn’t matter at all.”
“…….”
Brian was right.
It doesn’t matter at all that I have a child.
In the general case.
‘But their father is Theodore.’
Becoming Chernicia’s Head meant that there could be a situation where I had to face Theodore again somehow.
‘They said the Emperor went crazy.’
In a brief encounter, Theodore actually looked half-crazy.
Hi, rat.
I’ve never heard such a low-pitched, grinning voice.
He was a man who had carried a lot of terrible rumors since he was a young prince, but I also saw him with sparkling eyes for the first time.
He would have already attacked me with the spirit and maybe killed me if I was caught by him.
If he finds me, Yves Lleywellyn, who left him a letter filled with offensive and cursed words, and ran away, breaking his engagement.
And if he finds out that Yves Lleywellyn has two children of her own, then.
What if I have your child?
Then I will rip the seed that I sowed with my own hands.
I still can’t forget the last conversation I had with him.
The same conversation that made me leave him without a trace of regret.
‘The guy who lost Katarina and went crazy might hurt my babies. Or since there is no successor, he might take them to Albrecht, thinking he is doing the right thing.’
If I appear before him again, will I be able to escape again without being caught who the children’s biological father is?
Fortunately, Erwin and Odelia both look like me, so it’s hard to guess that Theodore’s child by appearance alone…….
‘Now that Lord Lyndon is back, will he know I’m Yvone? Or… …Maybe he still doesn’t remember me because his head hurts every time he thinks of it?’
I’d rather he didn’t remember me now.
Theodore considered Yves Lleywellyn to be like Yvone, but in a completely different sense.
If he doesn’t remember me, he might be able to ignore me in moderation.
And the moment I thought so, Brian said against my faith.
“And His Majesty knows you’re here.”
“What?”
For a moment, I was surprised and asked back.
“Does the Emperor know that I, I mean, Yvone Chernicia is here?”
“Yes. That’s why he called me here. To find you.”
My mind became more complicated.
It was a self-evident fact that Theodore saw my face that day, that is, Yves Lleywellyn’s face.
