The Marquess’s Amnesia

Lesson 24 Unexpected Visits

"For a long time, you're making me look small, Liliana"

My bright red red pulled lips drew a loose arc and I leaned over to Master William sitting next to me to proportionally do so.

Lady Sandra, dressed in a black and green dress at the Marquis' reception, smiled lusciously and tilted her little neck. The loosely tied walnut-colored hair fell on Sandra-like's white skin.

Sandra suddenly came to the Marquis' house after breakfast and when I was helping William with his discipline.

"Master William, have a handkerchief."

Master William will pocket the watery handkerchief I gave him.

Master William, dressed well in black knight clothing, is still a lovely knight today. Furthermore, they have a meeting in Royal Castle today, and I will put a medal on my chest that I don't normally wear, so I will help you with that.

Of all the medals that Mr. Frederick has put out, he's only going to put on the highest-ranking one today.

"This is, over here... This is here, it's on this"

I will go with the medal to Master William's uniform as instructed by Master William. They vary from those that mimic the shape of the sun, those that mimic the shape of the stars, and those with longer ribbons.

"I have to put more on the ceremony... next time I'll tell you what this medal means. Cedric's with us."

"She has great respect for Master William, so I'm sure she'll be delighted"

I can easily think of glittering faces and staring at these medals. Master William imagined the same appearance, with a soft grin zero. Cedric really loves Master William.

Two weeks had passed since the day I helped the Duke, and William's work had also begun to show calm to the extent that he could come home once every three days. That said, they didn't solve it, and the human trafficking cases involving diplomats keep newspapers busy every morning.

"... I'm sorry, Liliana. He said he invited me to the play, but I couldn't make time, and I couldn't make it."

Master William drops his shoulders snugly.

The performance changes every three months in Wangdu's theatre, but now it's just the rest of the day, because it's a one-set performance period of two months and a one-month recess and preparation period for the next performance.

"Don't worry about it. Master William is a reliable knight. And Elsa and the others taught me that summer was one of them."

"Really?

Mr. Frederick nodded, yes, as Mr. William tilted his neck.

"I went with Elsa when it was just the beginning, but that wasn't funny. The actor and the music were great, but the script was no good. It's a love story, but it wasn't meant to be a happy ending or sad love, it was supposed to be good for both men and women. Elsa slept along the way, and I've been watching Elsa along the way."

There was a gentle grin on Mr. Frederick's cool face. If Elsa was here, she might have hit Mr. Frederick in the light. Elsa is usually calm, but in front of Mr. Frederick, she's a lighter and very cute. Frederick, on the other hand, tells us how Elsa is cute with her true face.

It was when Master William said bitterly, "We're close and above all," and I nodded.

"... my sister!

Batang momentously opened the door and Cedric jumped into the room.

"Sedi, without a knock... Sedi?

"Sister! This way, this way!

I tried to scold Cedric for jumping in without a knock either, but Cedric looks bright blue and takes my hand and somehow tries to take me into Master William's clothing room. Master William and Mr. Frederick are also suddenly surprised.

"Sadie, what's going on? Liliana's in trouble."

Master William will stand in front of the clothes room door and stop Cedric.

"I'm hiding my sister! My brother-in-law would never let me in, so..."

Cedric pulls my hand as he almost cries.

"Hide Liliana? Why?"

"Se, Master Cedric, please come to town..."

Looking back, Mr. Ariana, breathing on his shoulders, showed up at the entrance. Mr. Frederick rushes over.

Cedric tries to hide me in the costume room.

"What's wrong, what happened?

Cedric was going to train for horseback riding outside as it was today after he finished dropping off Master William, so Cedric, who loves horseback riding, was down there first with Elsa and Ariana wanting to see Mr. William's horse.

"And there's Master Cedric's mother downstairs... there she is... Master Cedric, she has very fast legs... eh"

I took my breath in the words that Mr. Ariana said out of breath. Master William's expression becomes sharp and Cedric tries to get me into the costume room somehow.

"That lady? And Arthur?"

"I'm handling it, but I'm here to see you because I'm taking Cedric..."

Mr. Ariana told us to look at our complexion. The moment I understood the word, I was speaking out loud.

"I will never give it to you!

I pulled Cedric's arm almost reflexively and held him tight. You've been turning your arms around my back so Cedric can stick around. My little body is shaking.

I stroke me and Cedric's head that Master William is okay.

"It's okay, I'm not turning over Cedric to Mrs."

"No!"

"Sedi?"

Cedric screamed in my arms.

"That face of your mother didn't come to see me. That face... that face was always my face when I went to my sister's room!

Cedric screams with a face that still seems to cry and sticks to me all the time. I shrugged as I turned my arm around its back.

When your stepmother came to my room, that was only when you whipped me with your worries.

"Liliana, I'm coming to talk to you. Stay here with Cedric."

"Yes, no...... I'll be there too"

Once, I held Cedric tight and I looked up.

My eyes meet with blue eyes staring at me worryingly, my big hands enveloping my cheeks.

"Liliana, you don't have to. That lady is a much stronger opponent than Uncle Ayton."

"That may be true... but he's not my stepmother anymore, and Master William is here. You can't even whip me. And I want to know why he was so interested in Cedric once before."

Blue eyes stare at me. Cedric called me "Hey Sama" in a small voice.

If I had stared back without blinking, my blue eyes would have been much narrowed.

"... ok. Surely, if I were here, you wouldn't be able to handle that lady on the boulder."

"Thank you, Master William"

Master William, naturally, turned to Cedric and crouched when he laughed. Wrap your hands around the bending Cedric's cheek and peek into its face.

"Sedy, for once, let me ask you... do you want to go home to your mother?

"I don't like it. I have a sister and brother-in-law. I like it here."

Plump Cedric shook his neck to the side and his pale gold hair fluttered and swayed.

William smiles all the time at the answer.

"Sedy, I'll protect your precious sister. Of course, so are you. For that guy to pick you up, he'd have to file a guardian change report with the House of Lords, get vetted, issue a change permit, and I can't sign it. I will never sign, and you won't be able to find more guardians than me in your next of kin. Anyway, I'm a hero of this country, and I nurture friendship with Prince Wang, because I'm the Marquis of Springfield."

Cedric gradually raised his face to the words of Master William, who joked and said: My big purple eyes are rumbling and I think I still have zero tears. Master William kissed Cedric's forehead and hugged his little body.

"It's okay, so stay here with Ariana and Frederick. Freddy's so strong because he's been with me for a long time."

Cedric spun a thin arm around her husband's neck, holding him as long as he could, and then snorted away. Master William will rise again, kissing Cedric's forehead.

"Frederick, Ariana, I asked for you."

"Yes, sir."

Two tight expressions nodded forcefully. I also once put my hand on the arm that Master William offered me after holding Cedric tight and kissing him on the cheek. I will speak to Mr. Frederick and Mr. Ariana, please, to leave Mr. William's room behind.

In the hallway, Mr. Arthur was waiting at some point.

"Sandra is waiting for you in the reception room on the ground floor."

For a moment, Mr. Arthur felt like he had shaken the same blue eyes as Elsa, but his usual gaping expression remained the same, I told Master William. Master William nods to Eagle Deep and walks out.

"Liliana, I'll protect you from me, so be magnificent. You are the wife of William Lutherford and the Marquise of Springfield."

I laughed so hard, Master William took my opposite hand and put his mouth on my fingertips. He cast that spell again and hung it up. That's all that fogs my fear, so I knew Master William was an amazing person.

I, yes, nodded to your words and proceeded to the guest room with Master William.

"Thank you, Marquis, for a pleasant welcome, even though it was a sudden visit."

"If you can, I hope you'll be sure to contact me in advance. For security reasons, I never raise a guest on a day I'm not here."

Master William said with a topical smile on his face.

Master Sandra nodded and grabbed the cup of tea that Elsa had prepared.

"Very fragrant tea. Delicious."

"Dear Sandra, I don't have much time, so if you'll excuse me, can you tell me what business you were in so early in the morning?

"The Marquis is busy… by the way,"

Hazel's eyes slowly pointed at me. The cup will be put back on the table.

"For a long time, you're making me look small, Liliana"

Hazel's eyes narrowed in the shape of the three moons were horrible, and even though I decided not to run away, I glanced down at the trembling hands I held on my lap.

I felt fear for your father, who was fake, and for his sister, who was staring at me in a demonic shape, but I feel for her. That's completely different from what I felt for those two.

She was always laughing. He was the one who cursed me with laughter, kicked me, and whipped me. I never saw an angry face before.

"Such a large sapphire, my lady, you said all I could to buy it for the Marquis, didn't you? After a year without children...... I knew it would be difficult with your body. And yet you're giving me a position as a wife, so be careful."

I'll be honest.

I also feel a hint of anger from my neighbor, Master William, but I feel so much something that I might as well say killing, as incomparable from behind me. If my expectations aren't off, what's behind me to hide, a little short tempered, but my husband can think of a samurai - Elsa.

"Sir, I'd like your permission to speak, please?

"... oh"

Dear William, I was hoping you wouldn't snort there. Or I think you shouldn't snort. Mr. William's mouth ends are slightly distracted by a slight glance up ahead.

"Dear Sandra,"

Elsa's cold voice fell into the reception room. For some reason I don't even feel like Elsa is laughing even though I haven't seen it.

"You seem to be making some mistake, but your wife and you are now someone else in red"

Master Sandra is so surprised to see Elsa.

"And now that you are separated from Count Ayton, you are just a Baron family person. It's nothing but a scandal for a baroness to speak that way to the Marquis of Springfield. You're just making fun of your ignorance and your lack of education."

"Elsa, if you'll excuse Sandra."

A sinister voice broke in between as Master Sandra narrowed her eyes more and more. I'm Arthur, Elsa's father too. Even if Master William can't stop you, Mr. Arthur should be able to stop Elsa, and I was relieved.

But that was just for a moment.

"Lady Sandra doesn't give a rash, she's a woman of the kind of action that comes here early in the morning. I don't care about those things, not because they're ignorant or uneducated, but because they're innate, that kind of sex-rooted humanity. There's nothing you can do overnight to get those things right. Watch your mouth, Elsa."

Mr. Arthur! Why are you oiling the fire!

I screamed in my heart.

I could see Sandra's hand still being so powerful that it was going to snap a black delicate fan just a moment away. I also feel like I have no heart or Sandra's smile on my face.

"Well, you're no longer my stepson, you have to deal with me as Marquise, Master Liliana."

Hazel's eyes captured me along with a voice conceived of hatred that froze my spine.

My whole body was stretched hard under the illusion that the whipped wound that should have healed hurt. But soon, a big hand lay over my hand that Master William was holding my hips against and holding onto my lap.

That's all the gold bondage melted and I felt blood all over my body.

"No, because mistakes are for everyone"

"Thank you for your generosity, Master Liliana"

That being said, a slight flame of hatred swayed loosely in her eyes as she smiled.
