C20
Zachary's voice, taking in a fistful of air, dispersed like a leaf blown by the wind. She was calm, unwavering, with the calm of someone telling the truth. If this was acting, then Bianca would have discovered Zachary's new talent from Arno. He seemed very, very sincere.
Bianca's lips twitched. Why bother giving him an excuse or a confession? What is she supposed to answer here?
He never thought that. She hasn't even considered it shameless. Should he say that?
But really, have you ever thought that way?
Bianca wasn't sure. Also, she couldn't easily believe that she didn't have a mistress. There was no reason not to have her, and there were plenty of reasons for her to exist. After all, Bianca doesn't care if she has a mistress, so there's no need to do this.
He thought he had explained his intentions well to Zachary, but he may have felt that he was ridiculing him by continuing to talk about it. Thus, in this way, she would describe his displeasure in an elegant and noble way, in a roundabout way.
Not fully trusting Zachary, Bianca tried to respect his intentions by ending the lover's debate. If she tells a lie anyway, Zachary will soon discover the truth. Because he is a clever man.
-…I see. I will never mention that again.
“… Ha.
Zachary's wry sigh was filled with disgust. His hand didn't even move, but when she saw the sharp air piercing his skin, Bianca realized she'd gotten the wrong answer. Oh, the answer she was expecting was not "I won't bring up the mistress again," but she wanted me to say, "I admit you don't have a mistress." Bianca swallowed hard. Her tongue was stiff.
“You are very stubborn.
Bianca couldn't say anything and just sighed. Whether she didn't want to talk anymore or the notification was over, Zachary's hand covering Bianca's eyes slipped.
expressionless face calm look
Just like a person in a portrait, there are no tremors. There was no trace of anger in her voice.
Maybe it was Bianca's misunderstanding that Zachary was so upset that he was angry? It may have been an invitation to pretend to be angry so that Bianca confirms that he will not talk about her lover.
Bianca's ears were red at the thought of being swung like that. It was out of anger and shame at being teased. Even if she hadn't done a ridiculous play like this, she would have listened to her demands. Bianca's goal is to solidify her position by giving birth to the successor to the Arno family, and she has no intention of being hostile to Zachary.
After pondering for a moment, Bianca let out a low breath.
oh He doesn't believe in the fact that she doesn't mean to be hostile. He also understands that. Ever since she got married, she has been showing constant dislike towards him.
Okay. Although Bianca suddenly approached him, her new beginning had only just begun yesterday. She just took a step, so there's no need to rush.
As the emotional wound that has been recorded so far is deep, there is no way that it will be resolved at once.
He understood it in his head, but since it was a frustrating situation, his chest tightened. Bianca bit her lower lip lightly.
Contrary to how confused Bianca was, Zachary took a step back when he heard the answer he expected.
When the huge man who had almost pushed Bianca against the wall stepped back, the air felt as if it had been ventilated by opening a tightly closed window. He tried not to show her relief, but he couldn't hide the slight flutter in her chest.
—You don't know what will happen again, so from now on, don't walk alone. You hurt yourself here...
Zachary muttered softly. A remorseful sadness slid across his face. What is so worrying? Perhaps he is worried that Bianca's father, Count Blanchefort, will take advantage of Bianca's injury. It is clear that Bianca thinks that today's matter will be taken to Count Blanchefort as it is.
He really doesn't trust her. Although she provoked it herself, it was inevitable to be disappointed. A bitter smile crossed Bianca's lips.
By the way, if you say not to go alone, who do you want me to go with? Bianca's face hardened as she realized what Zachary was trying to say a second later.
Originally, a countess always had servants with her, but Bianca was an exception. Considering her maids were cumbersome, she didn't have a maid by her side and as much as she did, she often went out alone. After all, there is no one else to see, so wandering around the castle was all she could do.
Arno's castle was his cage. A bird does not need a leash to fly in a cage. Bianca was quick to add words so that Zachary could reconsider her decision.
“So far there has been no problem walking alone. This is your castle. If nothing had happened today...
"It's not my castle, it's ours."
—…….
"I'll get someone to act as an escort." Always go out together. She will only stay by your side. It won't bother you.
What do you mean you're going to add someone? It is more of a watchman than an escort. He hates that. He is cumbersome and uncomfortable. There are only a handful of people in this castle who are not hostile towards her. Bianca knew well that Yvonne was an unusual case.
Not wanting to hang out with someone who would frown and point out her flaws one by one, Bianca shut her mouth and turned her head away.
Zachary's words were direct and determined.
At that moment, a person appeared in Bianca's head. Bianca smiled widely and raised her voice. It was meant to make Zachary's rejection difficult.
“I can go with Yvonne. We decided to go for a walk together tomorrow.
“…Is that the maid you mentioned earlier?
-Yes.
I had no idea Yvonne could help so quickly. Bianca was really grateful to Yvonne at this point.
As if her inner feelings were revealed, her light green eyes shone brightly and a smile formed on her lips. As soon as he saw Bianca's smile, Zachary's lips twitched. At the look of disapproval, Bianca forced an awkward smile.
The reason she wants an escort is for Bianca's surveillance, but if Bianca goes with Yvonne, it won't make any sense.
But since he wasn't an escort assigned to Bianca out of concern, there would be no satisfactory answer. As expected, Zachary rejected Bianca's words.
"But she's just a servant." Listen to me.
Zachary's words were nothing less than a notification or an order. After voicing his argument in a strong tone, he turned around, as if he wasn't going to hear Bianca's objection. His hard back was unbreakable, and he seemed like he would never be willing to give up arguing with him.
After saying those words, Zachary left Bianca's room. Bianca, who was left alone in the room without realizing it, sat down on the rug. The tension was gone, and there was no strength left in her body.
"Every time I talk to Zachary, I get really nervous."
Bianca laughed bitterly. Facing him, she instinctively stiffened as if she were a mouse facing a weasel. It was lucky that her tongue worked smoothly.
“I was wondering why you came to see me, but I guess it was to tell me you were going to give me an escort. What a strong argument. Didn't you like what I did today? Perhaps what she said about his successor raised his suspicions. It was definitely not like “me” at all…”
Bianca muttered as she sat down with her knees on the floor. The more she looked back, the safer she felt.
“Yeah, I guess you were wondering what I was thinking when I said that. Ha, when I dated Fernand in my previous life, you didn't even think about monitoring me, let alone giving me an escort. That's how weird it was to say the word "successor."
Bianca chuckled. All right, an escort. She is confident. He will never know what he is thinking anyway. He couldn't even imagine that it all started with a divine miracle called regression.
Rather, it may be an opportunity. If he discovers that she is not hiding anything special, he may be willing to accept her.
Bianca took the situation positively, as there was no choice in the matter anyway. Believing that the results will be positive.
