I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

Chapter 87

10. What Happened One Night – 05

A few days after Sara and Duke Decraznan finished their secret conversation, Sara was walking alone in the back of the mansion, clutching her temples. Her purpose was to get some fresh air and cool her head.

Just remembering the conversation with the duke at that time, Sara felt that her head was too complicated. My head hurt. In a way, it seemed irritating. Even he couldn’t figure out what state he was in. One thing is for sure, no matter how much he tried to calm himself down after that day, he couldn’t calm down at all.

‘…Really?’

That day, the duke said to Sarah: Sooner or later, they plan to promote a marriage ceremony between Cain and Princess Dekaraznan. I’m also considering adding a hawk to the Estel duchy.

‘…I don’t think so. It must have been something I said only once.’

She also knew it well because she had been engaged to Cain once. Marriage, as the duke had told her, was not a sacrament like roasting beans over lightning. In the background of Cain and Sarah’s engagement, the important ‘transaction’ between the two families was the identity of the wedding ceremony, just as the various political interests of the Estel family and Count Cernard’s family came and went.

To put it a little more bluntly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that marriage is a kind of business that takes place with the children of each family as collateral. It was by no means an exception, even if it was a great family that was about the 4th duke of the empire. No, rather, since it is a family that is about the 4th duke, it must be clear that they will be more careful in concluding marriages.

It was certain. He knew better than anyone else that Duke Decraznan was considering an arranged marriage between his daughter and Cain. If the duke had seriously decided to pursue an arranged marriage between them, he would not have called her and asked such a question. Why would she throw high-quality information that the Duke of Estelle and Princess Dekaraznan might get engaged to her, who was no different from an outsider in the first place?

No matter how many times they measured it, there was very little chance that a marriage talk would really take place between them. Everything would have been nothing but his own whim. It was only pathetic that he was suffering from a headache from the duke’s careless remark.

…Yes, if you think rationally, Sarah’s guess must be correct.

But at this moment, in her head, the ridiculous delusions were repeating over and over again without stopping.

If anything, it was really just an what-if. It will never happen in real life, and it shouldn’t happen, but what if Cain decides to accept an arranged marriage with Princess Dekaraznan? Just as in the past, the Estelle duke looked at Count Sernard’s ‘wealth’ as a factor in concluding Cain and Sarah’s engagement, if Cain, seduced by the high prestige of the Decaraznan duke family and the enormous dowry brought by the princess, decides to accept the marriage ceremony. ?

…nonsense. The man Sarah knew, Cain von Estel, was not a frivolous man who could easily make such a major decision, enamored with at best material things. But at the same time, Sarah knew all too well how Cain felt about his people.

In a word, he was a typical aristocrat. I didn’t mean it in a bad way. Unlike other greedy aristocrats who saw their people as just a source of tax-generating income, he was a rare person with a mindset straight out of a children’s book, with the idea that they should be compassionate and caring for them. .

In the past, Sarah, who did not like Cain’s personal side at all, had no choice but to admit that side of Cain. If he hadn’t had that aspect, Sarah would have withdrawn all her feelings for him long ago. And, the betrothal relationship with him must have collapsed even sooner. In the first place, Count Sernard’s family had no intention of maintaining their betrothal relationship with Duke Estelle for a long time.

However, at this moment, for Sarah, Cain’s side was only a source of anxiety. Sarah knew too well. That the current Duchy of Estel is in a state of material poverty. What if Duke Decraznan asked him for an arranged marriage using material support as bait toward the Estel Duchy? Still, will he be able to dismiss the marriage talk with Princess Dekaraznan casually?

‘…no. Cain can’t do that.’

I was afraid. Thinking that he might marry another woman, I found myself here feeling the pain of being torn apart for some reason. I was just imagining it, but my heart hurt so much that I couldn’t stand it, and I was here.

…But, among them, the thing she feared the most was that Cain and Princess Dekaraznan might truly fall in love.

‘…no.’

Suddenly, I just imagined it. About what would happen if Cain and Princess Dekaraznan truly fell in love.

At first, it was a businesslike and rigid relationship that started from a relationship called an arranged marriage. However, as they talked together, ate together, went for walks together, and did many things together, their relationship gradually began to grow closer.

‘…no.’

Maybe it was just a very minor difference. It might just be that the faults between the two have disappeared as long as they’ve been close together for a long time. However, the sight of Cain treating Princess Dekaraznan a little more warmly, and the princess smiling shyly as if she didn’t dislike Cain, was like seeing a pair that matched each other perfectly. Their appearance was just so beautiful.

‘…no.’

A pair of men and women who were unfamiliar with each other became so close. At first, even seeing each other up close was embarrassing, but as they shared a lot of time, the barrier gradually broke down. Suddenly, it became normal for them to touch each other’s fingertips lightly, and when they went for a walk together, Cain would gently hold the princess’s hand. The princess would blush slightly when she felt Cain’s trustworthy touch, but as if she didn’t hate it too much, she just held his hand.

‘…I don’t like it.’

Thus, the man and woman gradually became lovers. By all accounts, they were perfect lovers who loved each other. The tone of each other’s tone was just too warm. Gradually, as the days went by, the time for the two of them only increased. It wasn’t enough to hold hands and hug each other, they ended up kissing each other. As they secretly watched each other’s tongues indulging each other’s mouths, they could only see their own ugly self masturbating, saying that since they were lovers, there was nothing they could do about it.

‘…stop it.’

Between a man and a woman in a romantic relationship, marriage finally came to pass. It was a marriage concluded for political purposes, but at the same time, only love dwelled between them. Except for Sarah, all the guests were congratulating the beautiful couple on their marriage. Everyone in this room was smiling, but Sarah’s face, looking at them with dark eyes as if she had landed in Wonderland, was truly unsightly.

‘please.’

Cain, dressed as a duke, and a princess, dressed in a pure white wedding dress, exchange rings. Cain takes out the engagement ring that was on his left hand and throws it away as if it were a devotional pair, and at the same time puts the wedding ring he received from the princess on the ring finger of his left hand. The engagement ring that Cain had thrown out rolled around like garbage in the corner of the wedding hall. Sarah looked at him and her engagement ring tumbling on the floor, only thinking that the ring’s situation was similar to her own.

‘do not do that. please.’

Finally, a marriage is consummated between the two families. Under everyone’s blessing, two lips cross each other and soft breaths tickle each other’s faces. All the guests stand up from their seats and cheer and applaud them. Only Sara, looking at them, bowed her head, her face contorted with jealousy, despair, hatred, and regret.

‘Cain.’
