As soon as our eyes met, Dillian pulled the corner of his mouth. A scorching heat rose on the strangely colorful face.
Then, suddenly my gaze turned to Dillian’s neck.
Dillian’s curse is still there.
The last time he was attacked in Wilhelm, his curse never ran wild.
It was because Dillian had learned to control the Runaway.
And I often appeased his curse with divine power.
‘Is it time to do it soon?’
I reached for the curse that was visible through the open collar of his shirt.
As my fingertips touched, Dillian looked at me suspiciously.
I unleashed the divine power and carefully swept away the curse.
“This curse, I will undo it.”
I wonder how I can break the curse that neither Aina nor High Priest Aaron could solve, but wouldn’t I be able to do it because I use a different power from them?
No, I will make it even if it is impossible.
“By all means.”
And I will make sure he would never be treated like that again.
Dillian’s eyes, which had grown astonishingly wide, were softly curved as they burned with a will that had never been before.
And suddenly he hugged my waist and pulled me. I blinked my eyes as I was dragged without stopping and slammed my face into his chest.
My face warmed up late at the smell of his intense scent.
“What are you doing?! In broad daylight when everyone can see….”
“Then don’t go anywhere until my curse is lifted.”
As I flapped and pushed Dillian away, I stopped.
His voice sounded strangely hoarse.
‘That’s cheating.’
I stuck out my lips because I was agitated for no reason.
“Isn’t it getting longer? We were supposed to be together until you found your memories.”
“The memory doesn’t seem to come back for the rest of my life, so it doesn’t matter if it increased.”
Oh, that’s a big problem for me.
“Since you mentioned it, I’m going to ask you. Do you really not remember anything?”
It seemed too natural for a person who lost his memory.
“I think I was very good at acting. Seeing that miss Ria fell for it.”
Feeling relief, Dillian smiled broadly.
“I memorized all the information I needed. My past, my family’s history, and even my family tree.”
Indeed, it is Dillian. I poked my tongue out at his thoroughness, while sweeping my chest.
Because I didn’t cause any trouble.
“What a relief.”
“It’s a relief.”
We nodded at the same time.
“No one knows sir Dillian’s secret.”
“Miss Ria will never leave.”
I pouted at the unexpected answer.
“Is that going to happen?”
“If I find my memory, you will run away. Then I will never look for it.”
I can’t speak. Now, laughter came out even at the obvious trickery.
“Okay, let go of your hand. It’s embarrassing if someone sees.”
“That means it’s fine where there’s no eye to see. For example, a carriage.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Dillian pushed me into the carriage.
“Wait…!”
Even with my earnest hand, the door of the carriage slammed shut.

“Aina. Let’s calm down and go back first.”
Cassis managed to comfort Aina, who was exhausted from crying, and went out onto the street.
In the distance, he could see Ria and Dillian’s back. It was a friendly sight to anyone.
Cassis looked at the figure with unfamiliar eyes.
‘I thought he put up a smoke screen because he didn’t want to marry my sister, but it must have been the truth.’
Dillian’s feelings for Ria were obviously the same kind he had for Aina.
At first, it was so unbelievable that he mistook him for a monster covered in his skin.
‘Are you worried about the almighty Dillian Sinaize?’
The shock came again when he remembered that Dillian was rushing towards Ria without looking around.
Cassis thought of Dillian and touched his face without realizing it.
When he looks at Aina, does his face look like that too? It was because he was curious.
‘It must be embarrassing.’
Dillian‘s feelings were blatant. The face of the beholder was revealed without hiding.
‘They said he’s a monster that doesn’t even know how to feel. It was all bullshit.’
It wasn’t a bad thing. Because he was able to see the human side of Dillian.
The problem was the person that his lover called her guardian angel.
‘A guardian angel….’
I knew that Aina had been looking for a woman for a long time.
It was said that she was waiting for an angel to give only for herself.
But the guardian angel chose Dillian over Aina.
The two seemed to have a deep relationship.
Cassis gently stroked Aina’s sniveling hair.
“Aina. You were too much this time. Even the Duke would be offended to hear such a thing.”
“… I was short-thinking.”
It was something she did because she wanted to help Ria, but she didn’t expect the two of them to be in such a relationship.
Everyone will feel bad, if you curse their precious person.
Aina boldly admitted her mistake.
“Try to apologize next time. Then miss Ria will accept it with a smile again.”
“… Yes.”
Cassis comforted Aina, who was heartbroken.
Aina tapped her cheek at Cassis’s sincere advice, but stopped at the long shadow beneath her feet.
“Stand back.”
Aina’s eyes, which instinctively sensed danger, shone sharply.
