It was fortunate not to die, having faced his tremendous power head-on. I dreamt long and tedious dreams while unconscious.
Dreams of meeting and parting with Riccardo, both strange and sad.
Thus, even in my dreams, I loved Riccardo. As if I was born just to love him.
“Lienne?”
The first thing I heard as I slowly regained consciousness was Sabrina’s voice. I nodded to her call.
“Are you awake?”
“Yes.”
Her sigh of relief was audible.
“How long have I slept?”
“About fifteen days.”
It felt like a lifetime had passed in just fifteen days. I gathered my senses and sat up at the edge of the bed. My body wasn’t as heavy as I expected.
“What happened? The physician said there was nothing wrong, but you wouldn’t wake up.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Who’s asking for an apology? I was just worried. Everyone said it didn’t make sense to sleep this long. They even thought you might be dead, and I was… how scared do you think I was?”
Tears welled up in Sabrina’s eyes.
“I know. You and Jonathan were worried about me. That’s why I’m sorry. For making you worry.”
For fifteen days, only Sabrina and Jonathan had stayed by my side. Without any adult’s help, she must have been very scared and overwhelmed.
“What… happened?”
I didn’t name anyone, but Sabrina immediately realized I was asking about Riccardo.
“You knew that guy from the East Wing was a Rochester?”
“No.”
“Ha.”
Sabrina sighed deeply and began to explain what had happened. She told me that Riccardo was actually the only son of the Gardarelli Rochester family, and that news of his manifestation had quickly reached the royal palace of the empire. Not long after, the ducal house came to take him away.
Perhaps the entire Dermeyer Empire knew of his manifestation immediately, given how the whole sky turned pitch black into darkness.
“I met the kid from the East Wing yesterday, and he really didn’t recognize me.”
Even though I knew it, my throat tightened, and I couldn’t respond. Why did he erase his memories so quickly? Had I already forgotten everything too?
“I’ve heard that Rochesters gradually lose their memories after their manifestation, but seeing it in person feels a bit… strange.”
Nobles of the Lesothia Duchy, practically a vassal state of the empire, were required to learn the empire’s history from childhood.
Both the imperial and ducal citizens knew about the powers of the ducal families, but the exact nature of these abilities was unknown.
“When did he leave?”
“Not yet, he’s about to leave soon.”
“What?”
I only became aware of the commotion outside after hearing that Riccardo was still in the mansion. Sabrina opened the window, but it was impossible to see the main house’s garden from the East Wing.
I immediately got up from the bed.
“Don’t get up yet.”
As soon as the words were out, my head spun, but I couldn’t stop.
“I want to see him. Before he leaves.”
“The atmosphere in the mansion is not normal right now. The entire place is surrounded by knights from the Rochester family.”
“Still, I want to see him one last time, just his face.”
Sabrina and Jonathan, being young, were somewhat free to move around the mansion. I was also a child, so if I avoided the knights’ notice, I might be able to see his carriage pass by the back of the mansion.
“Alright. The knights aren’t paying much attention to the East Wing anyway.”
I sneaked out of the back garden and climbed the small hill. From afar, I could see the ducal carriage of Rochester, already leaving the estate.
It was a rare clear day, not fitting for the desert’s rainy season.
The black twin carriage, drawn by black horses, gleamed in the sunlight. The family crest of Rochester, symbolizing the house, seemed like a living creature glaring at me. The carriage carrying Riccardo looked heartlessly huge and imposing.
As the carriage turned right, I saw his face. Though there was a distance, it wasn’t too far to recognize who it was.
‘Has his hair grown a bit more in these fifteen days?’
While I was having this irrelevant thought, our eyes met. Or at least, I wasn’t sure they did. There was no trace of recognition in his eyes, not a hint of seeing someone he knew.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
