1STKISSNOVEL. DO NOT STEAL MY TRANSLATION!\n“I remember my previous life. The one I had before I was born here as Maevia. It was a completely different world there, and I wasn’t even a noble.”
“I didn’t want to tell you about it like this. I wanted it to happen in a normal, peaceful atmosphere…
I recalled what he had said before and my eyes sank heavily.
Aedis has lived for over 500 years, so his brother is probably no ordinary person.
And he was already Gilbert and Regen’s biological father.
And Aedis didn’t want me to meet him.
I tried to change the mood in fear that Aedis, who can’t stand the topic of our conversation, will run away to a place I can’t find.
“Aedis, I’m bored. Please make an acrostic poem with my name. If you don’t, I won’t get a divorce.”
I briefly explained the rules of acrostic poems and Aedis started immediately after.
“Alright stop right there.”
I chose the wrong topic. I never thought I would have such a serious problem with my name.
I opted for the safer option.
“Aedis, brush my hair like you used to. If you don’t, we won’t get a divorce.”
“Aedis, read me a book. If you don’t, we won’t get a divorce.”
“Aedis, if you don’t do it anyway, I won’t get a divorce.”
Aedis, who had been obedient to my words for a long time, tilted his head at some point.
“…Something feels strange.”
“I feel like I’m being deceived.”
“Ugh, you’re mistaken. I want to get out of the room, so will you pick me up? It’s frustrating.”
“I hate going to the terrace now.”
Aedis seemed to wake up as he remembered how he had threatened me on the terrace.
What divorce, you will be stuck with my words like this forever.
So Aedis carried me and I just admired the empty hallway. Perhaps Aedis had stopped them because none of the maids were around.
My body trembled slightly. Even in the middle of winter, I have never felt the cold in Cyclamen Castle since the temperature is controlled properly. I guess I’m in really bad condition.
But as Aedis’s back relaxed, I heard laughter from downstairs.
Aedis, who knew what my question was even though I hadn’t said anything, explained.
“A guest is here. Whether she will remain as a guest until the end remains to be seen.”
Amid the woman’s loud laughter, I could occasionally hear Procyon calling her “sister”.
Hearing that title, it became clear that she wasn’t from a noble family.
Even so, if Procyon was calling her sister, there was only one person who I could guess that it was.
“Is it Shaula? I heard she got kicked out, did you bring her back?”
“Actually, I have something to tell you about that.”
As I continued to tremble, Aedis headed straight back to the bedroom and spoke softly.
“The former Knight Commander was in the quarry. When I arrived, the barrier was broken.”
“Did you send a familiar to the quarry?”
“Well, I’m a little nervous.”
I questioned him even though I already knew the answer.
“You’re asking something really obvious. Do you think I’d be interested in anyone other than you?”
Aedis said that he had sent the familiar to that distant quarry because of me.
He was still thinking of me. It would be a lie if I said that my heart wasn’t resolved.
So why did he bring up the topic of divorce and then in the next moment say that he would always be as good to me as he had been before?
Aedis dropped me on the bed. Sleepiness was pouring over me.
“Don’t try to open your eyes, just sleep.”
My hand swirled through the air in search of Aedis.
It was quite funny to see me struggling with my blurred vision, so Aedis gladly reached out his hand and held me.
“You have to stay by my side until I get up. Otherwise, we won’t get a divorce.”
“Do you have any intention of getting one?”
Aedis asked in a playful tone as he laid me down to sleep.
I mumbled and soon fell into the darkness.
My body felt heavy. My joints also felt creaky.
Aedis went somewhere as soon as I opened my eyes and called Sarah in instead.
Sarah told me that Aedis had continued to nurse me and she said she hadn’t done anything but change my clothes.
It was Aedis who had helped me when I had thrown up and was feeling so distraught.
It had to have been a very ugly sight, but he never said anything about it.
Sarah also told me one more thing: the unidentified flower grown from the seeds that Aedis had chewed and spit was a famous poisonous weed.
Of course, it only becomes poisonous if it sprouts and grows normally.
The flower changes composition when it absorbs saliva from a living person’s teeth as they chew the seeds.
However, as soon as it touches the tip of the tongue, people are instantly killed by the poison in the seed, so only the theory is known and no one has been able to verify it.
But Aedis has proved that the rumor is true and alleviated my condition.
It was an unbelievable show of sincerity to care for a wife who he had already lost his love for.
