The Impact Of The Villainess’ Fake Marriage On The Ending - Chapter 105

Chapter 105

“It’s not today. I told them to send me a signal if they saw the blue moon at the northern end, but I didn’t get anything.”

Adeline immediately approached Kael and whispered what she saw, and he took her out of the theater without hesitation.

“I don’t know why. Why did I suddenly see the blue moon…? But I didn’t think it was something that should be ignored…”

“You did well. It could be a sign that the blue moon is rising in a few days. Let’s go back right now.”

They were inside the carriage going back to the mansion. Kael immediately said they should return to the north, and Adeline agreed.

“You saw the blue moon when you looked at Count Felix?”

“Yes. To be precise, there was a moment when Count Felix looked at me with a sharp, slightly raised gaze. When I looked at those eyes, I suddenly saw the blue moon.”

Adeline explained the situation that happened a little while ago in detail. It was difficult for her to comprehend.

He said that there was only one magic tool that could tell if the blue moon was rising, and even that could only tell whether the blue moon was rising this year or not.

However, Adeline, who didn’t have any magic tools, saw the blue moon as soon as she saw Jeffrey’s eyes, so it was an odd situation in many ways.

“Is there really something going on with Count Felix?”

“I’m not sure right now, but since you saw the blue moon as soon as you looked at the Count, I don’t think he doesn’t have any involvement in this.”

Kael looked at Adeline with a slightly confused expression.

He felt sorry for Adeline’s confusion, but before that, he was upset that Jeffrey was able to easily approach her.

He kept looking at Adeline’s vicinity and looking at Jeffrey’s movements, checking to see if he was approaching Adeline, but he couldn’t see him perfectly and he had the chance to approach her.

Fortunately, nothing happened, but Jeffrey could have done something. Dizziness rushed in, and Kael felt angry with himself.

“It was in front of the powder room. Don’t blame yourself, he met me in a place we never even thought of. Please remember how busy you were, there was not a single person who didn’t talk to you.”

Adeline asked, realizing what Kael was thinking.

Kael was surprised for a moment, but he soon let out a sigh and grabbed Adeline’s hand.

“That kind of situation doesn’t matter. Whatever the situation, I said I would protect you. It’s all excuses.”

“Nothing happened. That’s it. And you will continue to protect me in the future, so that’s enough.”

Adeline smiled softly, saying that it was really fine.

“For now, just focus on Repositio. Not things that have already happened. All the truth might be revealed at once, so let’s just look at that. Both of us.”

All the truth might be revealed at once.

Those words stuck in Kael’s mind. He nodded and grabbed Adeline’s hand tighter.

***

Although only Kael and Adeline were allowed to enter, Kael felt that the existence of Repositio itself should be hidden from the world as much as possible.

If the whole world knew that only the northern grand duke and duchess could check the records of the time, the burden it would place on the future generations would be too great.

That was why he tried to hide the fact that they had returned to the north. So, he left Zion and Vero in the mansion in the capital and used the portal connected to the outskirts rather than the one inside the castle.

Melissa accompanied the two instead. To be precise, she decided to help Kael and Adeline before they left for Repositio.

“I’ve chosen to go as far as I can, just in case. I also quickly brought your coats.”

In fact, Kael and Adeline tried to move secretly just the two of them. But before climbing on the portal, Melissa explained why they would need her for a while.

She seemed to know what the Repositio was and why Kael and Adeline were looking into it. Kael asked how, as it was a matter that could not be overlooked, and Melissa honestly confessed that she had read the forbidden book.

“I will accept the punishment when you return,” Melissa boldly said.

Reading the forbidden book was a crime. The price she had to pay was considerable. However, contrary to her words, Melissa didn’t really think she would be punished at all. Kael smiled at that. He put Adeline on the horse, climbed up behind her, and looked at Melissa.

“It seems you’re already certain I’ll forgive you.”

“How could I, Your Grace?”

“You have a good eye for people, Adeline.”

Smiling at Kael’s words, Adeline thanked Melissa and signaled to Kael that she was ready.

Then, Kael immediately drove the horse. It took at least half a day to get to the northern end on horseback. They didn’t know when the moon would rise, so they had to hurry as much as possible.

“Don’t try to endure it if you’re having a hard time. Let me know right away. I can control it as much as I want.”

“Alright. Don’t worry too much.”

Despite the urgent situation, Kael just wanted to take care of Adeline. Feeling the warmth behind her, Adeline prayed quietly with a smile.

She prayed for all the truths they were trying so hard to find to be in the repository of time. She prayed to find an answer to all the pouring questions.

***

“Is this the cabin Your Grace built?”

“When I was much younger than I am now. There was a time when I stayed here with my brother and inspected the territory at my father’s command, and that’s when I built it.”

There was an old log cabin in the place where they had rushed half a day to arrive.

Kael took Adeline there. Adeline looked blankly at Kael as he skillfully burned firewood and made the place warmer.

“I purposely picked a place where the moon is visible. When the blue moon rises, we’ll be able to see it right here.”

After cleaning up, Kael approached Adeline where she was sitting, and sat next to her.

“It’s a small space, so it’ll get warm in no time. Hang in there just a moment.”

“It’s already warm. How could I feel cold when the coats are piled up on top of me like this?”

It was no exaggeration to say that Adeline was buried under a fur cloak. Kael had taken off his cloak and covered Adeline with it, worried that she would catch a cold.

“I’m fine, so please put it back on. Even if it’s you, it’s not that you don’t feel the cold at all.”

“This is enough for me. It’s much better than you being sick, so don’t worry about me.”

Kael tried to ignore the criticizing gaze she gave him and took out a small box from his inner pocket.

“What is that?” Adeline asked with surprised eyes.

Kael opened the box with a smile. Inside was a silver ring.

“Actually, I tried to give it to you right after the party, but things turned out like this.”

“This…”

“It’s a protection ring. It will protect you from black magic. It won’t be able to ward off all the darkness, but like the necklace Priest Simeon gave you, it will provide you with a protective shield. Herma’s mana has gone into it, so it’s very trustworthy.”

It was a completely unexpected gift. Adeline looked at Kael with a face mixed with surprise and emotion.

Kael smiled softly and put the ring on Adeline’s right ring finger.

“I wanted to make it in a way that you can have it with you at all times, but you already have a necklace, and a bracelet might be a hindrance when choosing a dress.”

“…”

“I also thought that it would be nice for you to wear rings I gave you on both hands.”

The ring he had prepared fit Adeline perfectly. Adeline stared at the ring on her finger with sparkling eyes.

“If you don’t like it, tell me honestly. I’ll go back and…”

“I love it. Seriously,” Adeline replied, smiling brightly.

She was serious. The ring was pretty, but she liked it even more because he had paid close attention to what was best for her.

On the other hand, she could still feel the restlessness in Kael’s heart. Kael was still worried about the impact of his curse and was trying to stop it in every way he could.

“I wanted to give it to you in a better place. I’m sorry. But I thought I should give it to you before we go inside Repositio. I don’t know when it will open.”

“This place is good enough. Thank you, Kael.”

Adeline shook her head and dug into Kael’s arms, telling him not to be sorry.

“Nothing will hurt me. And the same goes for you.”

Her confident words were a tremendous comfort to Kael.

Kael smiled softly and kissed Adeline.

He also believed that. Because he was going to make it like that no matter what.
