Owen smiled strangely at him and responded naturally.

“I don’t have any yet. I’m worried that he is not interested in it himself.”

“Oh, then I’ll find out for you. He’s the only Grand Duke in the country, and his marriage is also important at the national level.”

“You don’t have to… But, if you do find out, I’ll appreciate it. Well, I’m busy, so I’ll get going.”

Owen responded politely and quickly avoided the position. He wasn’t in the mood to have a leisurely conversation with the Duke of Hamilton.

His coat contained a letter from his son Leon, and he was on his way out after reading it.

Correspondence between the father and son Tertius was a travesty. Leon conveyed that marriage with Dana Deniz was impossible again this time, and told him to come back for the sick Sophia.

However, the reason why marriage was impossible was written in detail, unlike before. Leon recognized it, but it said ‘Dana Deniz’ was missing.

Duke Owen Tertius walked quickly. He first ordered the attendant who came with him.

“You go to the estate and tell him I’m coming back.”

And he headed straight to his residence in the capital. Even after saying that, the Duke hesitated for a while.

It was also true that he was reluctant to go there, and if Dana Deniz really disappeared, it would be useless if he went.

“I couldn’t keep it again…”

He, who had not budged from his wife Sophia’s illness, sighed and became impatient when something had happened to Dana Deniz.

Owen vaguely recalled the young Dana he had seen a long time ago. He saw the shiny blonde hair under the sun and the brilliant blue eyes once, but he clearly remembered them.

And a woman, who looked just like the child, naturally emerged.

Signs of dry tears scattered one after another. He sat on the sofa for a while, closed his eyes, and touched his forehead for a moment.

“I’m sorry, Elisa.”

The woman she was to Owen was the one who made his heart pound even as he thought about it now. And Dana Deniz was the daughter she left behind.

She could feel a touch stroking her head carefully. Dana woke up, but she kept her eyes closed because she liked the touch. She didn’t know if it was day or night.

After hot and violent lovemaking, Leon always hugged and patted her, and they fell asleep together for a long time. His smooth chest pressed against her cheeks and his strong arms embracing her melted her heart.

In a peaceful sleep, Dana hoped that this moment would last forever, forgetting even reality. It didn’t even matter if his memory didn’t come back, this moment was all she cared about.

“Sarah.”

While still enjoying her dream, a low voice crept into her sleep. Dana dug into his arms without answering. Then Leon hugged her more tightly and patted her on the back.

“I think I’ll be away for a few days because I’m busy with my work.”

Dana’s good mood subsided a little. However, her eyelids were still heavy and she couldn’t respond.

“Even if I’m not here, don’t run away, and eat well. If there’s anyone who upsets you, remember to tell Chedron.”

It wasn’t very important. Even if he didn’t tell her, all the servants were polite to Dana except on the first day. Moreover, she had never thought of running away from the beginning.

Dana barely opened her mouth, clinging to her dry lips.

“… When… Come?”

“15 days…”

Thinking that the period was longer than she thought, Dana opened her eyes and looked at him. Will he want her even after 15 days? Leon corrected his words with a little awkward expression in his eyes.

“It’ll take about 10 days, but I’ll move it up to 10 days.”

Ten days was also long. It was enough time for a person to change their mind.

Leon kissed her forehead and cheek several times as if he had read Dana’s eyes. Sometimes he was violent like a tyrant, but sometimes he was sweet and friendly. Dana seemed to know the difference, but she didn’t know exactly what it was yet.

“Have a safe trip…”

She felt sorry for him, but she had no intention of being a burden to hold him in the yard where she was eating. (TN- sort of a ‘don’t shit where you eat’) Dana smiled faintly and greeted, and then closed her eyes again. Sex with him consumed a lot of physical strength, and she still lacked sleep.

She fell asleep again feeling the touch and kisses. When she woke up, as he had said, the side was empty.

“He’s gone…”

Dana sat on the bed and muttered in a lonely voice, sweeping the empty seat next to her with her hand. She was depressed, but she got up from her seat with all her heart.

After a while, she left the room and headed for the dining room. She encountered a man rushing down the central stairs leading to the first floor.

“Oh… Oh.”

Dana did not know who he was, but he immediately recognized Dana.

“You’re the one who stays in the castle.”

He was Daniel, an aide to Grand Duke Leon Tertius. Daniel had work to organize separately, so he was on his way to join Leon late after finishing it.

“I’m his assistant, Daniel.”

Daniel greeted politely, but his voice was somewhat cold. Dana, who was thinking about what to say, replied lightly because the man seemed to already know her.
