“What the hell are you up to?” he muttered to himself.
He didn’t know what was going on even now even when he thought that they were close.
Overwhelmingly, for ten years, Gerald had never shown his inner self to him. It was only in front of Louella that the real Gerald was shown.
A human being like him changes 180 degrees when they were in front of Louella.
He was a double-faced human being.

Gerald put the equilateral cube on the desk when he finally found the answer. As he found his place, he felt like he had already found the answer to all the questions.
Gerald found one of the parchment papers scattered on the desk and wrote down the final answer.
“That’s enough.”
It was a magic formula that made him think about it but it was something that he was unable to solve. Gerald looked at it again and settled down.
I’m going back to Louella soon. Louella is debuting at the banquet today.
In his previous life, Gerald made his debut with him after graduation, but things had already changed. And he could notice that it was Louella’s will.
Gerald couldn’t get hold of what she was thinking, and he didn’t like that fact.
Louella was still Gerald’s most difficult and desperate problem.
It was easy to solve the magic formula, but it was difficult for him to even interact with Louella.
Gerald took out the medicine from his pocket and put it on his desk.
It . . . It was for Louella.
Still, the mechanism of how the infection worked with Nisephor had not been identified.
Billiers said monsters were the cause, but that was just a hypothetical guess.
However, Louella was infected with Nisephor.
He would never lose Louella in this life. The drug was effective only for those who had been infected with Nisephor.
Before being infected with Nisephor, taking the medicine would only make the person develop a resistance and hope that there would be no adverse effects.
Life was like a magic formula. Having no answer made living even more difficult.
Gerald folded his arms with a cold expression.
So all that was left was for him to wait for Louella’s illness to show.
Sometimes, he wished that he could speed up the development of the disease.
Gerald could only develop the medicine. In this life, he studied the mechanism and various things of the disease whenever he had time, but I still couldn’t find an answer.
Nisephor was the second obstacle of Gerald’s life.
Gerald sighed.
It was already the third time he was experiencing this, but the answer remained far away.
The medicine box and the facade on Gerald’s desk sparkled.

“Oh, my God, that lady is so elegant. It amazes me how the Duchess of Leander is so elegant! Isn’t she? She looks just like her mother.”
“Hoo-hoo-hoo. You’re not even engaged yet, are you? I’m thinking of keeping a close relationship with Duke Logan.”
“I don’t think the two of you will have a possible relationship, but . . . But isn’t the road still open to everyone?”
Good, good!
I pricked up and overheard the maids’ gossip. My purpose today was to look like a true, elegant bride to them so that they would spread rumors and the men of the society would come to me.
I have to take a good look around so that I can date freely and get married.
“Good for you,” said Flora.
Flora Peronita. Yesterday’s enemy was today’s ally. I never thought I’d be so close to Flora.
Except for Gerald, he doesn’t really treat her that well. However, Flora was a good girl, with a big, honest, straightforward type of personality.
At least, she was better than those pretentious ones who backbite you the moment you turn around.
“What?”
“All corners of my mouth are up.” Flora smirked.
All right, you can have Gerald in this life. He’s all yours! I’m more than willing to hand him over!
In the previous world that I lived in, Flora was an enemy who thought of taking away Gerald, but now? She was a friend!
“A lot.”
“The men are going to be in line soon and therefore, I’m going to get a lot of dates. Now, let’s see, how’s that guy?” Flora set her eyes on a man.
“Hmm . . . I think he’s okay.”
“What about him?”
“He’s okay.”
“Don’t you even have a personal preference when it comes to men? Like you know! The man can be short, he can be tall. He can be ugly. He can be handsome. Don’t you think you have to set a standard?” Flora said absurdly.
“. . .”
It was all because of Gerald. Because the unicorn was still stuck in my head and kept brainwashing me. Regardless of appearance, I came to realize that the most important thing for a man was to have a human-like personality.
“Is appearance important in dating itself?” I asked.
“Did you already forget the story I told you about my sister?” Flora yelled.
Well, as far as I remember, Flora’s sister married a foreign duke.
“The thing about getting rid of one’s anger just by seeing the lover’s face?”
“Yes, the face is an important variable!” she insisted. “It’s really important for marriage. You’re not really going to love each other and live without having any arguments forever, are you? If you’re going to do that, you should just have something to eat and not date or marry!”
Flora’s argument, of course, was plausible.
At first, I thought Gerald could forgive me for anything I did wrong. As long as I didn’t become a wife living alone without a husband.
