Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 54

I smiled, rubbing the edges of the document for no reason. I always received only from Edwin. First dance, first vows, the Place I can return to. And even people I can trust and love. In terms of dresses and jewelry, I received too much to count.

The longer I stayed in the Grand Siege, the more I wanted to give Edwin a gift. I felt like it would be a good time to give Edwin a surprise gift at a time when I couldn't even see Edwin's face because I was busy meeting people for the maintenance of Jeniv Street.

With the help of a vassal in charge of finances, I registered my White Crystal Mine as common property, and the moment preparations for the maintenance of Jeniv Street were completed, I wanted to tell him a surprise.

I felt like I could talk about it after that much time had passed. I like Edwin a lot...

The corners of my mouth gently turned up as I thought of something I was still embarrassed to say out loud. It was then.

Suddenly, I felt a slight heat rising around my neck. I absentmindedly played with the gemstone on my necklace with my hand. The magic stone that always keeps my body warm suddenly starts to heat up like this. When I looked at the magic stone in a strange mood, the magic stone, like a transparent white crystal, sparkled green at first glance. In the same situation as last time, I tilted my head and was about to ask Bethany about the magic stone.

"Bethany!"

I was shocked and called Bethany. Bethany's face, which had been laughing playfully with me just a moment ago, had gone blank. Her light blue eyes, which always looked at me warmly, dilated their pupils as if they had seen something shocking.

Surprised to see Bethany so quiet as if she had stopped breathing, I rushed to Bethany's side.

"Bethany! What's wrong? Take a breath!"

Holding Bethany's shaking hand, I patted Bethany's back. Bethany's always calm and friendly appearance came as a shock to me.

"Is there anyone outside?"

I shouted to the outside in urgency. I hoped someone would come quickly and call a doctor. But unless I pulled the strings I used when calling my maid, there was no way the sound would escape outside the well-insulated door.

What if Bethany collapses like this?

Bethany was already a precious person to me who could not be replaced by anyone. My heart sank. I said i was trying to pretend she was okay.

"Sleep, wait a minute. Bethany. I'll call the doctor. Just wait a moment. I'll be back real quick."

I was so flustered that I couldn't even clearly understand the meaning of what I was saying. Although my legs were weak, I hurried to make my way outside.

"Miss."

At that time, Bethany called out to me with heavy breathing. I was about to hug Bethany with a rush of relief.

"You have to tell him right now. Master, really... Really...."

"..."

"Really, he's been waiting. For this day."

As soon as the words, which had been so difficult to break, ended, tears welled up in Bethany's eyes. The Master. She was obviously referring to Edwin.

It was difficult to understand Bethany's strange reaction after looking at the White Crystal Mine document. What on earth does this White Crystal mine say to Edwin?

But, I wasn't stupid enough to waste any more time looking at the heavy emotions contained in Bethany's silently crying tears. I hastily pulled on my leash. I soon heard a knock on the door from outside.
