Am I dreaming now? Endimion stood up slowly from his seat with a hazy expression on his face. His gaze, which contained Lobelia, stared at her clearly.
“Excuse me…?” Lobelia tilted her head with an innocent expression as if she knew nothing.
At that moment, a tear rolled down from Endimion’s eyes.
“Lobelia…!”
He approached her as if bewitched. Then, he held her tightly in his arms and let her go. His clear purple eyes scanned her. It was like he went back completely into the past.
It had been five years, and Lobelia was the same as she was five years ago. No, she had become more beautiful. Her hair, which had become dry from raising the child, was glossy, and her naturally fair skin shimmered even more.
Moreover, her eyes. She had eyes that resembled his favorite, very high-quality emeralds. A clear, transparent gem, different from Magorit’s murky light. Those eyes were like his treasure, and he loved her from the first moment he first saw her.
“Honey… it’s me, Endrew. No, Endimion. I’m your husband.”
Endimion sobbed a little as he tried to hold back his tears. But he couldn’t hold back his tears. How many times had he missed his beloved since she had left him? He loved Magorit too, but his heart had already been split in two, and one of them never beat again.
Endimion lightly stroked Lobelia’s cheek with his trembling fingertips. It wasn’t a dream. With the soft touch and warmth he felt vivid, he hugged her once again.
“You’re my husband…?” She pushed him slightly and asked him back with a questioning look.
“You have forgotten me…?” As he gazed upon Lobelia, his eyes were glistening in pain.
She spoke slowly, with a hint of embarrassment on her face. “When I came to my senses, I was lying down by the riverside.”
“Riverside?”
“You said you’re my husband, but I don’t remember anything…!”
Lobelia raised her voice, rolling her eyes quickly as if anxious. “Are you really my husband…? Then who am I…!”
Could it be because of the shock of losing her memory? She seemed to be out of her mind.
Endimion looked at Lobelia with pity. The woman he loved didn’t seem to have left him on her own. Right, there was no way she would leave him on her own. Lobelia was his lifesaver, one of the people who understood him the best and was the person of his destiny.
“You are…”
He held her hand tightly and said in a low voice. “Your name was Lobelia, and you were the one I loved.”
“The one you loved?” Lobelia’s eyes shook as if they were blowing by the wind.
“Yes. We had our own wedding in a small temple.” Endimion recalled the happy past and smiled. The
The tip of my lips trembled slightly as I looked at him. All the words that came out of his mouth were disgusting. I wanted to spit on that calm face right now. A piece of garbage who doesn’t even know that his daughter is being abused. Bystander. A fool…! Never in my life I thought that taking social classes would be so helpful. I pressed my lips as my anger seemed to rise.
“Between the two of us, we also have a very pretty daughter.”
“Daughter…?”
“Yes. Unfortunately, she knows Mari as her mother since you suddenly disappeared.”
“Who is Mari?”
“Ah, she’s my wife. She’s also the one I love.”
Endimion grinned. He really hadn’t changed a bit.
I squeezed my fists under my shabby dress. Soon after, I smiled at him. Yes, a crazy bitch was perfect for a crazy guy.
“I see. You loved both me and Mari.”
“Yes. At first, I loved Mari… After seeing you, Lia, my heart split in two.” Endimion spat out his madness in a sweet voice.
“I see… I can’t believe a man with such a big heart was my husband.” I also spoke calmly after him.
“As expected, I thought you would understand me, Lia.”
Endimion held my hand tighter with eyes full of emotion. Both Magorit and Kriella strongly urged him to never mention her name again. In the meantime, they claimed that Lobelia had fled because she was tired of hearing him love both of them. He never believed those words for a moment. And indeed, she was different. Lobelia understood him perfectly.
“Come with me. To our house.”
“…Can I really come?”
“Hmm? Of course. You are my wife.”
“But what if Mari doesn’t like it?” I naturally referred to Magorit by her nickname.
“No way. Mari is a very gentle person. There’s no way she’ll not like it.”
Even if all the gentle people in the world died, Magorit wouldn’t be a gentle person. You idiot. I swallowed my thoughts and smiled brightly. “Then I want to go. I want to see my daughter too.”
“Yes. Let’s go, Lia.”
Endimion straightened his hand and led her gently. Just in time, Frinel returned. He raised his eyebrows as if he couldn’t understand the situation.
“Marquis Hamilton?”
“Ah, Your Royal Highness.”
Looking at Frinel, he smiled brightly and brightly like a child.
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness.”
“For what?”
“I found someone dear to me.”
“Someone dear?”
Frinel’s eyes slowly turned to Lobelia. His eyes, which had been staring at her face, soon turned to the two holding hands. His brow trembled involuntarily.
“Yes. If Your Royal Highness hadn’t suggested hunting, I wouldn’t have been able to find her.”
“…Someone dear to you is this woman?” Frinel’s voice fell low.
“Yes,” Endimion replied in a confident voice.
“Oh my.”
“Yes?”
Frinel smiled awkwardly and brushed his hair back as if feeling embarrassed. And at that moment,
“Frinel!”
Lobelia smiled broadly and hugged Frinel.
“I lost my way… and he said he knows me. My name is Lobelia, Frinel.”
She held Frinel’s arms tightly and chatted like a child. Endimion looked at the two of them alternately with a dumbfounded face.
“Did you two know each other…?”
He asked, but Frinel just looked at Lobelia and replied kindly.
“To think you were acquainted with Marquis Hamilton. You’ve even got your name back.”
“Right?”
“Then, Lady Lobelia, who has regained your name. Can you watch my horse for a while? I want to have a word with Marquis Hamilton.”
“Yes, I understand.” She nodded small and headed to the horse Frinel had tied to the tree.
As Lobelia moved away, Frinel turned his head away with a sharp glint in his eyes. “Marquis Hamilton.”
“…Yes.”
“What’s going on? What do you mean she’s someone dear to you?” Frinel asked with a frown.
However, Endimion was also full of questions. “I was surprised too. Did Your Highness care for Lobelia, who had lost her memory?”
“Answer my question first.”
At his threat, a small sigh flowed through Endimion’s lips. He remembered Magorit and Kriella’s words to never talk about Lobelia. But now was the moment that needed an explanation. Reluctantly, he opened his mouth.
“…She’s my lifesaver and the one I married. She was someone I loved. I missed her for a long time because she suddenly disappeared.”
“You have a wife, but you’re married again?”
“Technically speaking, my marriage with Lobelia came first.” Endimion was furious and immediately gave an answer.
“Ha… You were a very interesting person.” Frinel felt like a thousand sparks were surging inside him, and he coldly brought that up in frustration.
“I hear that a lot. Thank you.”
However, Endimion nodded slightly as if he had taken it as a compliment.
“Huh…!”
Even if Endimion went crazy, he should have gone crazy in moderation, but this person was just completely crazy. Frinel wanted to curse him out of frustration, but he barely let out a laugh.
Frienel recited a low note with a very angry face. “Do you remember?”
“Yes?”
“The woman I mentioned earlier, the one I care about.”
For some reason, Endimion’s purple eyes trembled in unknown anxiety.
“That’s right. She’s that woman.”
Waves of shock spread slowly through the gentle sparkling eyes.
