Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 63

When I suddenly woke up, it was still night outside. When I slightly opened the tightly closed window, the cool night air rushed in. When I looked beyond the window where I could hear the sound of grass bugs crying, I saw knights patrolling at night in the distance. That's how they do night patrols in the Great Siege Castle. They were a little different from the one I had seen in the Duke of Madeleine, and I tilted my head as I found it strange.

At the Duke of Madeleine's residence, I often, or perhaps often, saw the servants patrolling at night. There were many nights when I couldn't sleep or couldn't fall asleep. However, since going to the Grand Duke's residence, or at least since coming to Vikander Territory, there has been no waking up in the middle of the night like this.

I looked for something familiar above the unfamiliarity of the unfamiliar night. The bed where I woke up a little while ago, the desk where I always write my diary, the table where I drink tea, a sofa that is easy to lean on, and a dressing room with lots of jewelry and dresses like in a boutique. Everything I saw seemed familiar to me. All my things.

As soon as I realized that fact, my fingertips trembled slightly. My heart pounded loudly when the happiness I thought I had become accustomed to came to me as a big reality. If this happiness was really mine, I wanted to see with my own eyes the greatest happiness that had come to me right now.

As soon as I finished my thoughts, I rushed towards the door. I couldn't remember the location of Edwin's bedroom, but I felt like I could get to Edwin if I opened the door and went out.

"Olivia?"

As soon as I opened the door, a sleepy voice called to me from next to the door. Edwin, who was leaning against the wall, slowly straightened up and looked at me.

"Are you awake already?"

Edwin's voice sounded dreamy. Edwin is right in front of my room at this hour. Could this moment, as if my wish had come true, be a dream?

Without realizing it, I reached out my hand and grabbed Edwin's hand. I felt a gentle warmth at his fingertips.

"You're not going away."

"Should I disappear?"

At the sound of Edwin's playful voice, Olivia hurriedly said,

"Ah. It's a dream, what should I do? I was just a little worried."

Before he could say he was glad that wasn't the case, Edwin's eyes narrowed.

"It can't be a dream."

An alluring voice laughed lowly in the night air.

"I've been standing here motionless since last night because I was afraid it was just a dream."

Edwin, who was looking at the joined hands with regret, lightly kissed the back of my hand.

"So, leave your worries to me, Olivia, and go in and get some sleep."

I, who entered the room as if pushed by Edwin, blinked. It was a reality that did not disappear.

The architect the Young Lady spoke of arrived on Jeniv Street. If the Young Lady knew, she would definitely be happy.

A sudden command fell to Dean, who happily ran into the castle, thinking of the Young Lady's brightly smiling face.

"Really? Me? Do you want me to get a gem from Baron Stone to use as a gift ring?"

Bethany didn't even answer the question that was repeated over and over again.

Why? He is an escort knight who is definitely not supposed to leave the Lady's side.
