The Marquess’s Amnesia

Lesson 36 (Final Story) When False Happiness Disappears

The lake feels much quieter than it did in the summer.

Master William, when walking with me, please walk very slowly according to my stride. Every time I notice these little kindnesses, I get the feeling of liking.

"Isn't it cold?

"Yes, because the stall is thick"

I give you a brown and red check stall.

Master William nods and walks relaxed again.

"I'm afraid I can't go to the flower garden... but the autumn lake is beautiful too"

Clear lake surfaces are like mirrors, reflecting blue, clear skies and white clouds everywhere. The clouds flow very fast, and the sky changes its expression momentarily. The waves that strike over the water are calm and calming to the mind.

"In a few moments the trees will be deeper in color and it's really beautiful. I'd like to bring him in if I can, but I'm sorry I'm too busy with my job to make a promise."

"I understand. Master William is a knight who is protecting the King's capital. I know it's Cedric. But... when you can rest, please rest properly. It's tough if you fall again."

"Thank you. My Lyna is so sweet."

"No, I don't"

My cheeks get hot on my sweet smile and I lay my face down.

Around this time, Master William calls me by the nickname "Lyna" when we're alone. I melt the sugar, and when they call me in a sweet voice like I also put honey in it, that's about to blow my heart out already.

No, to confess, I've been thrilled to have Master William by my side since that day when I thought of both, and I'm happier than I was before when I was laughed at, and I'm going to be too happy to cry when I can hold him.

Remember everything, Jean, the fact that you said you loved me makes me crazy.

These days I'm having trouble loving Master William too much.

"There's a bench over there. Let's sit down for a while. You'll see us here, too, from Seddy."

Looking back, it's very small, but you can see what Elsa and the others look like.

Master William gently untied my hand as he approached the bench and took out the handkerchief and laid it on the bench. And again, please take my hand and take me to the bench. You're too gentleman, your chest is pounding.

Master William, sitting next to me, holds my shoulder perfectly together with his hips sword beside him. The smell of fluffy and refreshing perfume envelops me when it takes more.

We have no words for each other, we just try to lean in and see the magnificent nature that spreads in front of us.

"I'd rather talk to you out of my mouth than tell you in someone's mouth... about Miss Roxalline"

The name that popped up was the name of his ex-fiancé that William, who had his memories back that day, was saying.

Looking up at him with a little surprise, he's staring at me with a somewhat worried face.

"I wish I didn't like you..."

"No, let me tell you... was it important?

Master William looked indescribable in my questioning.

"If you ask me if it's important or not, maybe it was important, but the worst I can do is, now that I'm in love with you, I realize that my love for her wasn't as much as it was for my sister or my friends"

Mr. William flaunts his shoulders with a bitter smile.

"The thoughts I have for Lyna and the thoughts I had for her are completely different.... Maybe it's because I and she were just kids in a political marriage. Nevertheless, in her and my capacity as aristocrats, my marriage to her was also of His Majesty's will. As a nobleman, I wasn't dissatisfied with the marriage itself, but I think that even if we were somehow still married, none of it would have been broken."

"... How is Master Roxalline coming now?

"She lives in peace with her daughter-in-law far from the king's capital. When I visited her on a military inspection a couple of years ago, I snuck up on her without telling anyone, but she looked a lot like me. I was drying the laundry with a young boy, and it seemed like my husband was coming out later to help me with the laundry and we were getting along. Besides, her stomach seemed to have another child. At that time... I thought a little, instead of me for betraying you, but now I feel very calm thanks to you. I was a woman who wanted to be a family once. If you live happily ever after, that's fine. I have my sweet Lyna and my sweet Seddy, so I'm so happy I can't beat you."

I also grinned back into my softly narrowed blue eyes.

Then again for a while, I put my head on his chest and was listening to that heartbeat. The sound of the wind, the sound of his heart and the sounds of the different waves, the rubbing sounds of the trees, the world was so peaceful and calm as to scare.

"What happened to Sandra?"

I always wanted to hear it and I mouthed the question I couldn't hear as I listened to the sound of his heart, staring at the lake.

Master William was busy, and Cedric would have been with me if you'd gone home, so I didn't have a gap to ask.

My shoulder-holding hand moved to stroke just a little bit.

"Her body, after the autopsy, looked for an identity underwriter, but the Baron Disley family had already changed their days, and her brother, the current master, refused to pick it up. I hit several other mistresses but no was returned.... and as a result, she was cremated and tucked away in a tiny urn... and returned to Lord Lymos."

It was very strange to see something similar spread to twitching and warm relief in my chest.

In the Kingdom of Creacion, burial in most cases returns the deceased to the earth for a long time, but only those who have died and committed serious crimes after suffering from a serious infectious disease are cremated. The former is only afraid of the spread of the disease from the body, so after it is cremated, the bones are buried directly in the grave, and the deceased returns to the ground. But the latter will not be forgiven for returning to the rich earth of Creacion.

After the family takes it away, when you say goodbye and complete a simple ritual, it will be housed in a dedicated cemetery dungeon. If you didn't have a pickup, you'd be sent straight to the dungeon and punished for spending eternal time in the dark.

"I, I forgive Lady Sandra, but I'm still not going to be able to forget all the fear I've given her. Because for most of my life, I was ruled by a woman named Sandra with fear..."

"But?"

"... as I told you from the bottom of my heart that day, I am grateful for giving birth to Cedric."

Nature and a small grin zeroed, big hands layered on the hands that were on your knees.

"One day, when the time comes to tell that girl about Sandra... that's what I want to tell her that she was born to be loved. Because Master Sandra... knew the fact that she hated peppers."

"... oh"

I heard a gentle voice up there and I grinned deeper and stuck my body more to Master William.

Ariana taught me that muscles are warm whenever William has a body that is trained because they emit heat.

"Liliana, why don't we go to Viscount Everett's house for a while?"

I had eyes for Master William, who smiled calmly as he raised his face to unexpected words.

"This is your mother's home. Now, my mother's brother, Lord Rolf, has taken over the throne, and my predecessors were in the realm, but I heard rumors that you were feeling better, and I wanted to see you in my next social season, so the other day, a letter came."

"But never before..."

"... Sandra was crushing all the sentences. And when that letter arrived, Sandra often whipped you, and the old Deacon of Allwin told the Viscounts not to get involved any more. If you say you don't want to see me, I'll get back to you..."

I didn't know what to do. I have a desire to see my uncle and aunt, but I have no idea who they are, and I am anxious to see them because I have never been involved.

"Not right now. Think slowly. If you give me an answer by the end of the social period, that's enough."

"Okay. I'll think about it."

When I nodded, Master William asked me to talk to you at any time. Yes, I nod and give it back.

"... by the way, Lina"

"Yes."

"I knew it wasn't next door, why don't you come over here? I'd love to be next door, but I feel more fun sitting on my lap. No, definitely fun."

I suddenly got up to what you were saying with a serious face, and Master William said that with a serious slap on your knee.

"I promised you I wouldn't do it in public."

I point my lips and let go of my body.

The other day, I was embarrassed and embarrassed to melt because I put myself on my lap in front of Master Gawayne and tried to make him eat the cake. That's why I promised you I wouldn't do it in public.

"In public, they're so far apart"

"I know if you're on your knees even if you're away. Even I can see Sadie sleeping on your father's lap."

It's embarrassing, and I held my cheeks down with both hands.

Of course, I don't dislike having you hug me to my favorite William's knee, but I'm embarrassed in public.

"Damn, if that bee and I hadn't built a nest in the flower garden, we'd have had two knee pillows alone, and I wanted to flirt"

Master William gripped his fist with regret.

Picnic Two days ago, a depressed William told me that I couldn't go to the flower garden he took me to in the summer. They say a big, fierce bee nesting in the ground for anything has built several nests in that flower garden. They say that bee poison is too dangerous if you get stabbed too much, so it's too dangerous if the bees aren't in a weak winter, so the flower gardens are off-limits until spring.

I was looking forward to it, so sorry, but for some reason, it's pathetic that Master William is more depressed than I am. Heartfelt Master William must have been looking forward to his autumn flower garden. Because even when I went there in the summer, I was bored with emotion.

"Dear William, I can't because I'm embarrassed to hold you in my lap, but if it's my knee pillow, go ahead"

"... aren't knee pillows embarrassing?

"Yes, 'cause I'll make it better for Seddy, and Master Gawayne makes it Seddy... Oh, Master William, don't you like it?

"I don't like it!

Lady William, who shook her head sideways with a bump, stood up in momentum and slumbered my knee on the bench on a pillow as she gently moved me to the end of the bench.

Gently stroke Master William's amber beautiful hair looking up at me on my lap.

"Me, I'm so happy when I'm stroking Master William's hair like this. I felt like I could be special to you."

"What are you talking about? I only allow this to happen to Lyna, so you're my special and definitely. For generations, my ancestors have no thin hair, but will also try to maintain your hair so as not to diminish your happiness."

Master William said it very seriously, very seriously.

I nodded, yes, to William, who was always honest with me. Your cheeks will loosen on their own.

"As I said in the morning, I knew this piece would look good on you. I regret Mario's work, but it adds to your charm."

"Master Marietta's design is so cute. But I'm just glad that Master William chose you."

Today's piece is calm rose pink. Mr. William gave it to me last night for today. Cute with good frills and understated lace and 3/4 length sleeves are also perfect for this season. The sleek skirt is intricately embroidered with deep red yarn on the hem. Your chest is neat and looks good on the sapphire that William gave you.

Master William, stroking my cheeks tickling, exhaled and turned his gaze across to me, to the blue sky.

"It's a really nice day."

"Yes."

From time to time, we relax as we intertwine our gaze or stroke each other's hair and cheeks, sharing stories without other love.

And then, about time, Master William gets up to anticipate when Cedric will wake up, and we slowly walk out again to those where Cedric and the others are waiting.

"I need to talk to you about something important after this."

Mr. William walking next door rarely has a toothpick and gets out of sight.

"... is that a sad story"

"No, not sad, but, uh, it's a very important story."

"Anytime, then."

Master William relaxed his expression as I smiled and nodded.

When I got back to you all, for some reason, I was taken by Master William and I knew that for some reason I stood in front of them in a sloppy line.

Cedric, who usually jumps at me the most, also looks at me as I grin next to Master Gawayne.

"Sedy? What's up?"

"Lady Liliana"

If I turned my face to the blocked word, for some reason, Master William was kneeling at my feet, trying to get on one knee.

Bright blue eyes staring straight at me.

Is this the important story, and I tilt my neck?

"Master William?

"Liliana, I'm not really an honest husband enough to make you proud. I'm so busy with my work, I can't even get enough time with you or Sedy, and I think knights can make you have an uneasy night at work with a dangerous job that you don't even know when or when to lose your life."

I don't know what it is, but I have one hunch and I stare back at Master William.

"Me and your marriage couldn't take a busy time with what I suddenly decided, it wasn't a wedding or a fine thing, and it made me miss you even after I got married. And at the end of the sentence, I became something called amnesia, and it bothered you. But thanks to me, I got something that I've always wanted, something really important in exchange for something called memory. Got someone to walk with me."

My hands were wrapped in Master William's hands.

I turned my face to them sliding in line. Gentlemen, you have a gentle smile, and Elsa and Ariana are weeping.

"Until now, it was false happiness between me and you. That was created by my cowardice and your giving up. But from now on... I swear I will spend my whole life loving and protecting you. And as you wished, I promise to live longer than you for a day, an hour or a second. I swear to you, to God and to the sword that no matter how dangerous your mission may be, you will always return alive and beneath you. Here they are. They're the witnesses."

So I cut the word there, and Master William let go of my hand and put his hand in my pocket. And I took out the little box of Velveteen and opened the lid.

A platinum ring shined over the white silk table. A small blue sapphire shines in the heart of a silver workmanship mimicking a rose, with large grains of diamonds shining next to it.

Master William, with a very tense face, once, takes a deep breath, looks up at me again.

"Again............... Lady Liliana"

"... no"

I was about to burst into tears and covered my mouth with both hands.

"I want you to marry me. And I want to build eternal happiness with you."

I ask, putting up with tears all the time.

"... it's me, is it good?

"I, you're good.... I only have Liliana. So please marry me."

"Yes. Neither do I. I want to be happy with you and Master William."

I laughed crying, toasting, nodding. Moment after moment, Master William stood up and said, "Lyna! I love you!" cried Master William, kissing me a lot.

"Oh, my God, Will! It's a feast tonight!

"Congratulations, ma'am!

"Lily, if you cry, I'll take it! Kaddock said yes!!

"If you cry my dear wife, I'll kick you out immediately!

"When I do, I'll work with you to kick you out, because I'm an Elsa for the rest of my life"

"Come to your father whenever you want to run away, Liliana"

"The Duke family is always waiting for you!

"Can't you guys celebrate a little decent! Except for Mario and Ariana! Enemy!?

"We're just on Lily's side. Hey!"

"Hey."

"Hey, it's not!

Master William will wrath with me in his arms. Then Cedric came for a small run and hugged me and Master William.

"Congratulations, sister, brother-in-law!

Master William let me go and held Cedric up. And I'll give Cedric the ring.

"Sedy, if you would allow me to marry Liliana, would you put a ring in her finger?

"Yes!"

Cedric nodded with a radiant smile and without hesitation received the ring from Master William, and when he took the left hand I gave him, he worked hard to fit the ring in his pharmacopoeia finger.

The ring that fits your left hand pharmacopoeia is a perfect size and very nice with my favorite rose flowers. But more than that, the meaning this ring has makes me happy. Master William, with his eyes on him, was also laughing happily.

"Brother-in-law, please take care of your sister."

Cedric switched to Yamato and told Master William. Master William looks straight into Cedric's purple eyes when he tightens his expression.

"Oh. I'll hang in the name of William Lutherford, with Liliana, and I promise you will love and protect me more than anything."

Cedric grabbed Mr. William by twisting his face when he blinked his eyes wide open. If I hugged Master William to follow Cedric, too, my powerful arm held us tight, as usual.

"I love you, my dear Liliana, and my sweet Seddy"

To that gentle voice that sounded soft and low we nodded over and over again as we cried.

The happiness that overflowed my chest seemed to blossom one after the other as if it were a flower in full bloom, and it even seemed to make the world brighter each time. If you're going to say all of that is what he gave me, please, I sincerely hoped that my only loved one would be overflowing with the same happiness.

"I love you, Master William"

With his face up, to the words he said with a kiss to his cheek, Master William gives me an extraordinary smile by softening and narrowing my favorite blue eyes.

I'm sure he may not know that that's all that makes me the happiest in the world, but I'm really, really happy just because he laughs at me.

The false happiness that was in my chest is nowhere else. What is in my chest now is surely eternal happiness that continues to shine forever and contains plenty of something called love.

"... Dear William, Sedy, do you know"

"What?

To the two strangely inclined necks, I smiled extraordinarily.

- Me, I'm the happiest person in the world right now.
