—……..
She thought she heard him swallow for a moment, but Bianca decided it was an auditory hallucination. Could that person similar to an iron wall be able to do it? Bianca snorted and laughed.
Even for a moment, the idea of taking this opportunity to seduce Zachary was ridiculous. Zachary couldn't be moved by someone with a body like hers.
Bianca, who looked at herself objectively, smiled self-deprecatingly. Bianca pretended to be okay and made a calm face, then she got out of bed and stood up. Her bare legs, which had been revealed for a moment, were hidden in the hem of the skirt that slipped down.
Bianca crossed her arms, pulling at the fur that was about to fall off her shoulders. As soon as she left, she missed her warm bed. Because right now? Bianca's words, unable to hide her irritation, came out.
“You don't need a successor, but you come to my room at this hour.
Usually it was rare to see him once a week, but today is already the second time.
Zachary fell silent at Bianca's brazen words.
Bianca was confused in her own way. What is the reason that she is in such a hurry to come here to talk about something that can be done tomorrow?
Bianca shook her head, but couldn't think of any good reason. She was assuming that she might have something to do with Gaspard. Although she was by her side under the name of escort, Zachary attached it to keep an eye on her. She may have a story to tell after receiving the report from her.
That was annoying. Bianca sighed a little.
"...How was Gaspard?"
Zachary's voice was blocked. His dark voice was blurry, making it hard to understand what he said at first. It was only after a couple of thoughts that Bianca finally realized her question. What should I answer? After thinking about her response for a moment, Bianca simply replied honestly.
“I liked the fact that he didn't have enough of a presence to bother me. Of course, I didn't like the fact that it was so big that it often drew attention, but….
“…I'm glad you like it.
He said he was glad, but Zachary's face didn't look happy at all. Bianca tilted her head as he looked somewhat displeased. Her brown hair fell down her thin white neckline. Bianca brushed her hair behind her neck. It seemed that it was better to escape to another topic than continue with the topic of Gaspard.
-Therefore. Why did you come here?
“It sounds like you're telling me that I shouldn't come to you without a reason.
—……..
“Well, it's been that way before. No wonder you're upset.
I wasn't rushing him, but it sounded like that to Zachary. Maybe it's not that he didn't want to rush him. His discomfort at breaking into the night may have come out without realizing it.
Bianca replaced the embarrassed response with an awkward smile.
“I came to you just as you said, because I have something to tell you.
-What thing?
—…….
He spoke first and then closed his mouth. Bianca blinked at Zachary's hesitation. are you hesitating? He was always authoritative and he said only what he wanted to say? Even when he said that he should have an escort, he spoke as if he had no intention of listening to Bianca's opinions. Are you hesitating because what he has to say is so terrifying? Concern overcame curiosity.
After hesitating for a moment, Zachary carefully opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.
“Next spring, I have to go to the royal palace.
"...Oh, is that so?"
Bianca responded with a frown. She will go to the palace next spring. And that?
The fact that Zachary was absent was important, but not so important that she hesitated to come and talk so late at night. She was very worried about what would happen, but she swooned at the trivial content.
But it wasn't bad to know. Thinking back to her memories of him before the flashback, she remembered that at that point Zachary had been gone for quite some time. Bianca smiled with a frown and asked, pretending not to know.
“I don't know why you came to inform me, but thanks for letting me know early. Luckily it's not because of the war. When are you coming back?
-… in autumn.
"Until the harvest?" You will stay for a long time.
Even in her memory, Zachary was absent until about fall. He doesn't remember exactly when he came back, but after the winter of that year, when Bianca turned 18, she had her first night, so the time was right.
After all, if she spends her first night with him this winter and doesn't get pregnant, it's the same story as before the comeback. Of course, unlike before the return, many things will change since she will stay with Zachary as soon as the opportunity arises. Still, if Zachary himself doesn't have any thoughts, there's nothing he can do about it. After all, he has no choice but to wait for her to come to his bedroom, pressured by his vassals.
Bianca smiled bitterly.
“Next spring will be Prince Albert's engagement, and next summer will be the 50th anniversary of the king's accession. It's hard to come and go again and again, so I'll stay there. Working and building friendships in the capital.
"If it's Prince Albert... Is he the son of Prince Gautier? He now he has...
"He's ten years old." The bride is the second daughter of the princess of the Kingdom of Castile. I think she is now twelve years old?
—……..
Although ten years old was a young age, it was an accepted age in the marriage market. Didn't Bianca herself marry at the age of seven? Bianca remembered her marriage. Now that she's back, she seems to have been a long time ago.
Bianca, who had been married at the Château d'Arno, used to decorate her room like the Château Blanchefort, to calm her homesickness for her hometown. However, decorating the room has almost become a habit, and the current Bianca can only vaguely remember what the Blanchefort mansion looked like. As such, Bianca's life before marriage was a long time ago.
Still, an unknown roar shook her insides. Maybe it's because she's sleepy. Bianca smiled softly in response.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Still, that's good to know.
-Okay?
Zachary asked puzzled. It was as if he didn't expect Bianca to respond like that. Bianca understood Zachary's attitude. To him, Bianca must be a little girl who only knows how to get angry, so it would be awkward to see her respond with a smile.
First of all, it's more important to let Zachary know that he's not as immature as he used to be. Bianca smiled brightly again and spoke with a mischievous tone.
-Yes. Last time I didn't even know you went to war and I asked Vincent where you were. You should have seen how Vincent looked back then.
"Did Vincent offend you?"
-Nope. Rather, my question offended Vincent.
"Did he show his displeasure?" To the point where you recognized it?
-Nerd. It was not so. He is a loyal butler and he does his job well.
At Zachary's question, Bianca shivered and blurted out the end of her words. It was a light joke, but Zachary was exceptionally sensitive.
Perhaps Vincent's attitude at that moment had offended Bianca a little. But now, she had completely forgotten and, above all, it seemed that she would be in trouble if she told the whole story.
No matter how ignorant Bianca was, there was no way she couldn't read the atmosphere in a situation where it was just the two of them.
It's just that he doesn't understand why he's doing this. Vincent was a trusted retainer of Zachary's and she had no reason to doubt his loyalty, as he had always acted according to his will.
Bianca smiled awkwardly and looked at Zachary, as she believed that Zachary would side with Vincent even if Vincent scolded her openly.
Zachary's face hardened. He spoke with firm caution, like an adult leaving a small child with a nosebleed at home alone.
“I'm away, and Vincent is always with you. If you don't tell me if he offends you, I have no way of knowing.
-I understand.
Bianca meekly nodded. The complicated idea that Zachary doubted Vincent's loyalty was pushed aside. Long story short, Zachary came to see her because she's going to be away from her next year, so if Vincent offends her in the meantime, she needs to let him know about her.
