Chapter 21

Martinez, who must have been completely loved by his father after he became mentally ill like that. That poor man was my first love. From a very young day, he felt warmth, happiness, and comfort only from me… It would have been nice if it had only been regarded as a beautiful memory of that young day. On the day of the Pietra Festival, the moment we met each other we had longed for in the patronage of the imperial palace, we realized that our destiny had no choice but to expand further from there.

If I had turned the carriage a while ago and not returned to Count del Thieri’s house, I would have gone to the imperial palace where the party proclaiming Pietra’s Day was being held… I would have met him after many years. And he would have said a few words to me and then lightly kissed me on the cheek.

‘Our breath is so close Irenye. I feel like my whole heart will be sucked into your breath right now.’

When he holds me in his arms and confesses with our noses touching, that night we share a deep and dense kiss, and we become inseparable. Somehow, as I remembered that night alone like this, a red aura formed on my cheeks and nape of my neck without my knowledge, and an inexplicable sadness welled up in my heart. Having so cowardly hid from him, I still missed him. no, his eyes.

I had to admit that every cell in my body and my whole heart wanted him as I felt the breath and all those sparkling moments intact in my memories. Just like Larriesa said, I had to take a quick sigh and get rid of all these thoughts. But then, a small white pebble bounced against my bedroom window.

It was rare for anything to jump up to the window of my room on the second floor. Besides, this is the county’s house, and the servants have never been lazy with security and security… Today is Pietra’s Day.

It is a day for all citizens of the empire to eat, drink, and get drunk to the fullest, regardless of position. Of course, Larisa said that I was suddenly ill, and since I missed the imperial party and came back, she noticed that she hadn’t been able to attend the event where the servicemen shared a glass of wine with each other because she was taking care of me until a while ago… No, maybe I heard wrong.
