Fake and Truth (7)

“You have already made me aware of your heart, and now you are asking me to go to that Mary(2)?”

“Because you have a pretty complicated look on your face. If you want to show that expression, don’t show up in front of me.”

“It’s you Mary, who pushed me out.”

He had never been pushed away‌.

She just left him as he was, without pulling or pushing him away. He did what he did and acted differently from time to time.

Of course, it was true that he tested it because he had information to find out along with what he was deceiving her.

She wasn’t telling him the truth either, so she was in the same position.

However, Arthur’s hesitation when he faced her was not very pleasant.

“It was me who reached out my hand. Do you really think she is real?”

“That can’t be true.”

Arthur took a step closer to her.

Her body, which had gained some weight, had suddenly turned thin, and her face looked dull. At the same time as he refused the medicine he gave her, she was weak.

‘Medicine? Blue bottle…….’

She definitely remembers taking medicine on the day she was with Nox. As she tried to think more and think about it, her head hurt like a broken tooth.

“Ugh.”

“Princess!”

Carl came to her in surprise, but was blocked by Arthur’s hand. It was a warning that he would not let it go if it approached a little closer with a cold gaze.

“Mary, I can’t do it anymore.”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you not going to take the medicine again this time?”

“I will not eat it.”

As soon as she finished talking, Arthur opened the lid of the blue bottle in his hand and poured it into his mouth. She wasn’t the only one surprised by his behavior.

Carl also had a crumpled forehead looking at Arthur.

“What on earth?”

Arthur stared at her with his tightly closed mouth. A smile leaked out of embarrassment through her slightly open lips.

At that moment, Arthur’s hands wrapped around her cheeks and his lips folded.

Her body hardened in a situation that happened in an instant, and her eyes were as big as they could get.

‘……!’

With a slightly tilted pass, something flowed out of Arthur’s mouth and filled her mouth. Arthur’s one hand gently stroked her neck and urged her.

The medicine he had in his mouth came into her mouth and eventually she swallowed it. He took off his mouth only after she finished drinking the medicine.

She grabbed the cup of water on the table and said, bringing it to her lips.

“Wash your mouth, the medicine won’t taste so good.”

“… It’s the medicine I take every time.”

“Then, you may not want to kiss me, so rinse it off.”

At Arthur’s words, he pushed a cup of water with his hand. She didn’t hate it. Rather, she liked the fact that he cared about her and still treated her kindly.

She, who said it was Mary, could now see him unshakable.

She realized when she saw Arthur in front of her again, saying that it was Mary who pushed him away, that whom he had his gaze on.

Realization soon became another emotion and wrapped around her.

Scared.

She kept getting signals that it was dangerous from somewhere in her heart. She needs to know what she’s being deceived and what he’s hiding from her.

“I don’t hate it.”

She confessed her mind honestly. She never hated kissing him. Not even once. But it wasn’t always good either.

“I said I wouldn’t take medicine… Did you feed me?”

“A week.”

“What?”

“It’s been a week since you collapsed and opened your eyes.”

She looked at Carl at Arthur’s words. Carl’s head slowly gulped down to see if he was right.

‘A week? No way.’

What happened in the meantime? She fell into thought, covering her head in frustration, but it was useless.

What in the world did she do? Remember!

Her head was choking again whether or not she knew how she felt. As if refusing to remember, her head kept getting dizzy.

She’ll have to deal with the women first.

“Let her stay here.”

Words must not leak out. But she couldn’t kill that woman.

It was said to be a fake created by Nox, but when others see her, she was also an ordinary human being.

“……That’s not allowed.”

Arthur’s mouth, which seemed willing to say yes, gave an unexpected answer. Nevertheless, he had no intention of bending her will.

“I think I’ll feel comfortable only when she’s in front of me, so I want you to do that.”

“Anyway, she’s…”

“What about her?”

Arthur swallowed the latter words without spitting them out. He looked reminded as if he would say it at any moment, but in the end, he didn’t tell her the following.

“Mary, you just have to care about your health.”

“I think this is my job too. She’s a person who says she’s Mary, so how can I not care?”

“Then remove her from sight.”

He said with a calm look. Her existence was insensitive and determined, as if it were nothing to him.

His complex expression was no longer visible.

“You’re not going to kill her, are you?”

Or did you kill her already?

She couldn’t ask and swallowed it inside. She still didn’t know what happened to this castle for a week when she didn’t wake up.

After he left, she was going to call the maid to check first. Carl will also not know properly, so it would be most accurate to call in a maid to ask.

She prayed inside that it was not true, repeating what Nox had said in the room. Arthur swallowed a dry saliva without realizing it because he was afraid he was thinking the same thing.

“But I’m not a villain enough to kill people.”

He shamelessly lied without changing his expression. Arthur’s face, which looked exceptionally tired today, caught her eye, but she couldn’t ask.
