Extra 3. The End of First Love (5)
Edmond, who accurately calculated the time it took Ezet to pull over, glanced at the wristwatch. Eight minutes and 25 seconds. As soon as the clock hands pass the number, Edmond will get up and run to her.
“The Duke of Jaxen has a lot of small worries.”
Marchioness Spencer smiled and talked to her.
“I have anxiety because I have been a mercenary for a long time. If I don’t take care of it, I’ll get scared and restless quickly.”
“Oh, my. Your miraculous love has not healed you yet.”
The old lady calmly responded to Edmond’s comment, which drew a lie without putting saliva on her lips.
“You want to look more mature in the presence of your loved one, but the Duke of Jaxen relies on her so much that she must have a lot of worries about this and that.”
It means that his wife is tired because he put so much pressure on her.
Edmond, who understood the old lady, raised one eyebrow and smiled again.
As expected, she is a formidable opponent. Marchioness Spencer was a tricky opponent, more than any mercenary, even the Emperor or Empress.
Especially because to Ezet, she is the same person as her grandmother’s replacement, whom she relied on from the heart.
Facing an opponent who should never be rude is more complicated than getting hit by arrow rain with a bare body.
“My wife is affectionate and likes to help people in need. I’m very grateful that she feels rewarded by taking care of me.”
It means that he and his wife will take care of it, so don’t interfere. Marchioness Spencer grinned and stopped again. It was a little cute to see a man trying to suit his wife, who was totally out of place in the warm sunshine, cool breeze, and mild tea party atmosphere.
‘How did the Duchess of Jaxen tame such a beast?’
It may be better to call it a beast than a beast, but in the Marchioness Spencer’s assessment, it was.
Edmond and Marchioness Spencer stopped talking and drank tea. The tea is definitely warm, but it had the illusion of fog flying around the tea party banquet hall.

Returning to an outdoor tea room in the corner of the garden to make tea, Ezet put the mana stone in a kettle and began boiling water.
“Well, I think it was too cloudy earlier. Should I add more tea leaves?”
“Adding a lot of leaves doesn’t make the scent stronger.”
Ezet, startled by the voice from behind, looked back. Daniel was standing there. Standing among the flowers in the garden, Daniel looked like the incarnation of the flower. As he approached, Ezet was nervous and stepped aside slightly.
Since she invited him to a tea party, she would have a conversation with him, but it was very awkward to meet him alone in such a place.
“The scent lasts longer if you slowly brew it in warm water than if you soak it in hot water at once.”
“Oh… I see. Count Spencer knows a lot.”
“When I was studying at an academic institute in the East, I was a member of the Tea Research Society for a while.”
She knew he went to many foreign countries, but she didn’t expect him to go that far. Ezet was a little envious that Daniel, who was younger than her, saw a much wider world than her and experienced various things.

“That’s great. I haven’t even looked at the Jaxen estates yet…”
“As I traveled to many places, the image of the place itself is rather blurred. It’s mixed up in my memory.”
“Really?”
Hot deserts and sandstorms. Desolate plateaus and snow mountains nomads running on vast grasslands and horses Daniel traveled worldwide and saw numerous landscapes, but none of them were noticeably impressive.
Even after so much experience, only blurry images remain, as if walking through scattered petals.
“Even though I’ve been to so many places, there are only two places I can recall clearly.”
“Oh, my God. When and where?”
When Ezet asked out of curiosity, Daniel made eye contact with her and smiled.
“This is the patronage of the Great Theater where I mistook my seat and encountered Lady Maria and the Palace where I saved Lady Maria from falling into the pond.”
‘Daniel deliberately called Miss Maria.’ As if he didn’t know she had a husband when he fell for her.
“Marquis Spencer…”
“I thought I remembered it very clearly, but now that I look back, I don’t know if it was an illusion.”
Maria, who Daniel fell in love with, does not exist because it’s a fake name.
Her name is Ezet Jaxen. Edmond Jaxen’s wife and sister of Erit Harriet.
Why is her image that doesn’t exist so vivid?
Why does the scene repeat itself constantly, just as a drugged patient hallucinates?
“Was what I saw a fantasy?”
“Marquis Spencer.”
“The woman I loved… Was it a fantasy?”
Daniel’s turquoise eyes looking at Ezet were like a deep pond. It’s clear and still, but if there’s even a drop of dew, it’ll constantly cause a stir.
“Count Spencer. As I said before, I love Edmond.”
“I know.”
“For Marquis Spencer, our love for the couple is rather unusual… It’ll look like a strange relationship.”
“What?”
“I heard you said that to Edmond. I’ve been devastated by constant abuse, so I can’t make the right judgment and rely on him.”
Daniel was a little surprised. Because he didn’t know Edmond would tell Ezet such a story. Edmond didn’t want to tell Ezet Daniel’s story, but Ezet, who didn’t want her husband to keep it secret, told Edmond to tell the story of the day.
