Capitulo 33
Episode 33
«You can do it if you want to.»
Andrew turned away from her. Relaxed, Tatiana staggered against the wall.
People watching the two began to mutter to each other….
«I hear there’s a problem between the Big Couple…….. It must be true.»
«I heard that rumor too. I don’t know… What is it?»
«Oh, my God.»
They were words rarely heard, but it couldn’t be a good story for Tatiana.
«Titi!»
Daniel called out to Tatiana in a worried voice.
«Daniel.»
«Are you okay, do you want to come back?»
«Daniel, Daniel…….»
Tatiana buried her face in his arms, comforting herself as lovingly as ever.
Tears welled up.
«Wait, wait, Tatiana.»
Daniel pushed her away with a worried look on his face. It looked pathetic, as pathetic as ever, but it was so.
It was so hard to treat her like before.
And this is……. has gone too far.»
Tatiana was a married woman.
Even the Grand Duke was still here. This touch was too much to allow with the word friend.
«Danny?»
«Tatiana, I’ll take you home.»
Tatiana reached out with an idiotic face and touched the bracelet.
It was lower than before, but the favorability was still high.
There’s no way he’s betraying me.»
Tatiana followed Daniel’s lead.
After crossing the gleaming garden, I headed for the front door.
«I called for a carriage. You’ll just have to wait a little while.»
Tatiana looked at Daniel’s hand, which was gripping her by the wrist.
«Oh, I’m sorry!»
Stunned, Daniel let go of her hand.
«I’m sorry, that didn’t hurt too much, did it?»
As always, he was gentle, but Tatiana could tell.
That he was trying to draw a line somewhere and pull back.
The anxiety began to build again.
«Are you tired of me?»
«What are you talking about? Tatiana.»
«Why have you changed your attitude?»
Daniel had a pained look on his face. This was wrong from the start.
If he’d drawn a better line, if he’d mediated properly in the middle, things wouldn’t have gone so wrong.
«I should have treated you like this from the beginning. Tatiana.»
«What are you talking about?»
«You’re married. Our relationship was too formal to call it a friendship.»
«Is that a bad thing? Up until now, we’ve gotten along fine.»
I didn’t get along. I pretended not to know.
Everyone pretended not to know and laughed about it.
So did Daniel.
In the end, the spectator turned into a sharp blade and stabbed Karina.
Daniel remembered the rumors he heard after breaking up with Karina. At the time, he thought it was a trivial rumor, but now that he thought about it, it was an absurd story.
«I’m sorry, Tatiana. I want to hold the line.»
Tatiana looked at Daniel with her eyes rolling. She couldn’t believe it.
In time, Daniel’s carriage arrived at the door.
«Come on, Tatiana.»
«Leave me alone.»
«Tatiana.»
She looked at Daniel.
«Go home carefully.»
Daniel stepped back as if he couldn’t avoid Tatiana’s eyes.
After confirming that he was completely gone, Tatiana climbed into the carriage.
Everything was a mess. She was tired and had a headache.
«Why is this happening?»
Nothing was going right for me.
Even Daniel, who I firmly trusted after Andrew, is about to leave her side.
«What is Ray doing and where?»
Yes, if Karina would just disappear, everything would be solved.
She needed a more solid hand.
«Ahhhhhh!
The carriage came to a sudden stop. Tatiana, who fell to the floor of the carriage as her body leaned forward, stood up.
«What the hell is going on!»
Tatiana shouted to the coachman outside. I heard a shout over the wall.
«I’m sorry, I’m sorry. The person in front……. Wait, wait a minute. hey!»
The carriage door burst open.
Blue hair glistening in the moonlight was cooler than ever.
«Will?»
Tatiana turned away from Wilhelm, who stepped into the carriage.
Soon the body bumped against the carriage wall. The expressionless face that approached quickly collapsed.
«Why, why are you avoiding me? Titi.»
Looking at Wilhelm, who was collapsing in tears, Tatiana made a strange face.
Her eyes shone.
Tatiana lifted Wilhelm up.
In her head, ruined by tears, there was a feeling of favor all the way.
‘Will is on my side.’
The news of his marriage to Karina, it took away the copy system without the benefit of gaining sympathy in a short time.
When Daniel turned away from me, Tatiana found herself cornered. She reached out and grabbed Wilhelm’s cheek.
«Don’t cry, Will.»
Red eyes fluttered in tears. The tears the man shed brought Tatiana joy.
The tears the man was shedding gave Tatiana joy, and above all, it was good to confirm each other’s affection.
She whispered, lightly wiping his cheek.
«I avoided you, it was all because of you.»
«Because of me?»
«Yes. Because people suspect our relationship…»….»
» Suspicion.»
Wilhelm was quite confused. Being a Lover wasn’t so bad. Especially if it involved arranged marriages, like him or Tatiana.
It wasn’t a marriage because they loved each other, so they were overlooking the existence of Lovers.
Wilhelm asked, hiding his trembling heart. The anxiety he had felt so far was becoming a reality.
«I thought we’d have that relationship – wasn’t it Titi?».
Tatiana laughed awkwardly to hide her embarrassment. Of course, he was the one who made the mistake like that, but he really had no intention of letting her be his mistress.
Especially, when she confirmed that bad rumors began to circulate about herself, Tatiana had no choice but to shrink back….
It was more painful because it was the first time.
«It’s just that it’s uncomfortable for people to talk about it.»
«But.»
Wilhelm was still nervous.
This was because he suffered from anxiety during the time he was unable to contact Tatiana.
Now there was very little left of him.
Half of the inheritance he was to receive had been given to Karina, and he was suspended from the Knights.
He could be expelled.
Even at home, he had to suffer the cold treatment of his family.
I only chose Tatiana, but he lost much of what he had.
«Will, even though I’m married, you know I mean it.»
Tatiana comforted him with soft words, as if she understood his feelings.
«Tatiana, don’t leave me.»
«It won’t happen, don’t worry.»
«Are you making a promise?»
At one time Wilhelm was everything to Tatiana. Bright days glittered before her.
«Yes, I promise.»
Tatiana patted his crumbling back. Wilhelm closed his eyes in silence.
He hoped she meant what she said.
* * *
After returning to the large residence, Tatiana washed up and changed into her pajamas. When all the employees were asleep, Tatiana left the room and headed for Andrew’s bedroom.
Andrew’s bedroom was the farthest away from her room.
Tatiana was heartbroken, as if it was a psychological distance from Andrew.
I got to the door before I knew it, but I couldn’t knock easily.
It had been three years since she had married, but her contempt for him was still unbearable.
Tatiana, taking a deep breath, knocked on the door and asked.
«Andy, may I come in?»
After a while, the door opened from inside. Low, purple eyes looked at Tatiana.
«What’s wrong?»
«Boo, I’m here for a favor.»
«A favor?»
Andrew smiled and crouched down as if it were ridiculous.
«Do you think you deserve to ask me for a favor?»
«Can we talk inside instead of doing that here?»
Tatiana muttered, looking around as she thought her words would be long. When did the habit of looking around anxiously start?
Andrew sighed and turned away from the door.
Tatiana, who came in quickly, sighed briefly.
«What’s the favor? Say it quickly.»
She nodded at Andrew’s insistence.
«I want Wilhelm to be inducted into the Knights of the Silver Dragons.»
Andrew burst out laughing at the ridiculous request.
«Ha, put your lover in my knighthood.»
«Will is not my lover! We’re just best friends.»
«Ah, I suppose we are. But I don’t think the others feel the same way.»
Andrew nudged Tatiana with a sarcastic tone to the core.
«Some idiot in the world gives a seat to a man rumored to be his wife’s lover.»
At his provocation, Tatiana shouted in a fit of rage.
«Wilhelm is one of the few Swordmasters in the Empire. Isn’t this a situation where a talented person should receive an enemy now?
