The Marquess's Amnesia

Lesson 29: The Secret in the Light of the Moon

I had an unusual sleeping face with Master William and Cedric, who had been home for a long time when I learned to thirst and open my eyes.

I don't know what time it is, but the light of the round full moon is plugging through the window. I got out of bed to keep the two of us awake, closed the curtains and left the minister's bedroom behind.

Down the stairs, go to the kitchen and get a glass of water. I drank that and exhaled fuzzily.

It's been a little over three weeks since I got here early, but my life in a small house feels easier to breathe than when I was wondering where.

The fact that you're not wearing a corset may also be supportive of that, but the little world in your little house is so peaceful and small that your eyes are clear and you can rest assured that you're still here.

We are here to help Elsa and Frederick, we are eager for embroidery, visitors are Mario (sometimes Marietta), and other occasional Ariana and Melissa only come. We only had Master Alphonse once, but he seemed busy and I haven't seen you since.

While I'm here, I'm Lyna, my husband's wife, working downstairs in the Knights (which seems to be the setting), not the Marquis. There is no blood muscle, no responsibility or possession as a nobleman. Time passes slowly in just calm days.

Cedric seems to be having some fun, too. Garden teasing seems to be fun these days, and I look like Mr. Frederick and William are having fun taking care of the grasshoppers in the garden.

I have woken up to the pleasure of cooking and, every day, I look forward to helping Mr. Frederick. What a line of cream stews I made alone for dinner tonight. I made a lot of them, but Master William and Cedric quickly lost them because they replaced them with a lot of delicious delicacies. I'm so happy, I'm impressed. You would be very happy to tell me that what you worked so hard to make is delicious.

Somehow I went to the living room and opened the curtains to see your garden.

"... beautiful"

There was such a dazzling and bright full moon in the night sky that it swallowed the blink of a small star. Cosmos flowers are shaking in the wind with all the blue and white moonlight in the flowerbed.

They say you shouldn't go outside because the night is dangerous, so I'm afraid you can't leave.

Aware that my eyes had blinded me, I moved the locking chair that was beside me just a little and turned around and sat there. From the gap in the curtain I also look out the window with a shake.

Summer, which has been so busy, has sometime shifted to a lonely autumn.

The town is very quiet, the world with the blue and white moonlight falling is wind and garden The sound of autumn bugs somewhere tells us how it flows when it's calm. If I look up, there's a big full moon floating around, and I feel like if I reach out, I can reach it. It was cold glass that touched my stretched fingertips and I gently glanced through the moon from above.

"... Liliana"

The sudden sound of my voice made me feel frightened.

Looking back in surprise, Master William stood at the entrance to the living room.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Lina. You surprised me."

I didn't do one footstep, so I was too surprised to have a voice, and for now I moved my neck and nodded. Master William stood next to me when he came this way and opened the curtain a little again.

"Full moon."

"Oh, did I wake you?

Ask that side looking up at the moon.

"No, I didn't have you when I woke up, so I was wondering what happened... mostly, you're wearing thin. I wish you'd weaved me a gown, see?"

Master William will take it off and offer it to me. I, in a hurry, shake my neck to the side and push the gown back.

"No, you can't. Master William will catch a cold."

"I'm not gonna catch a cold like this."

"No, you shouldn't"

I will definitely hold my hand and push it back. Master William, pointing his lips at me, slowly rose me to see if I had come up with anything. And I thought you wrapped me in a big gown with a crease, and you held me up and sat straight in the rocking chair. Inevitably I am on Master William's lap.

"Master William."

"Look, the moon looks good. This would be warm for me and you, and even more fun for me."

I know in the last few months that William won't let me down, so I have nothing else to give up. I thankfully put my sleeve through William A's gown, but I can't get my hands on it and my shoulders fall off.

"... it's small"

Master William found my hand out of my sleeve and said it was stingy. If you stick your palm and palm together, the difference in its size is obvious.

Fingers are different in length, fineness, palm size, thickness and softness. Palms that are more than once larger than my hands have flesh spurs, like a sign that my skin was stiff and I kept gripping my sword.

"Your hand is the hand of the knight. It's a kind hand to protect us."

I love this hand next to Master William's blue eyes.

Master William's hands always touch me and Cedric very gently and please hold them tight. Hands to protect have always kept us honest. With the warmth of this hand alone, I could not help but be in front of my father, sister, and Sandra who was so scared.

But that's why this hand can't be mine alone. He is the one who protects this country, the one who supports Master Alphonse and protects all the people of the Kingdom of Creacion.

"... I heard about your secret from Uncle Ayton before I left for the realm"

Yes, and I replied with my face down.

"Memories, too, are almost back. The only thing I can't remember yet is the last year or two."

"... Yes"

"Come on, Liliana. Your dream is over."

I hear that guy's voice, and my heart goes cold, which should have been warm.

It's okay. It's okay. I have Cedric. With that kid, I can do anything, and I can stand anything.

"Oh, I've learned the basics of cleaning and laundry, and I think you can do more with cooking and looking at books"

"Hmm?"

"Sedy was a child who had a father but didn't know his father's love, but finally...... Willi, I'm sorry. … the kindness of the Marquis allowed me to know his father's affection."

"Hmm??

"Marquis, may I ask you to know all about me, could you just change that sewing box and three days' worth of clothes... because I think that way I can work with needles"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Please, wait!

In the morning, if I were to leave the house, I tried to get ready while I could, but how could William hold me tight and stop me?

"Why are we suddenly talking about leaving...!?

"... if my memory's almost back, it doesn't have to be me anymore... and you don't deserve a woman with a scratch like this."

You won't be anxious about not having memories anymore. In that case, I won't have a decorative wife anymore.

I told him to grab the dovetail from the top of his clothes and whisper.

Since that day when Master Sandra rose my secret, I have always been ready, and this life for the last three weeks has taught me that William and I, who only know aristocratic life, can also live and go in a monastery, so Ning Ro, I must thank you for taking more than three weeks. Even so, my selfish chest hurts like a strain.

"No! I told you. If you are going to leave, I will throw away my pride and pride as a knight, cry and sit down, and throw five bodies into the ground for nothing!!

I don't think I said that much about William or Elsa the boulder before, but William looked up at me terribly seriously.

"So, but... wasn't the common life here an exercise for me and Cedric to go to the convent?

"No, it's not! mood swings and another more important reason!

"Geez."

I thought I was suddenly lifted up by the risen Master William, who was again lowered to the locking chair and for some reason, sat down on his knees at my feet.

"Master William?

It's like that day.

Looking up at me, like the day Master William, who lost his memory, first came to visit my room.

"I did know about your wounds when your father told me before that mother and daughter told me,"

"If so..."

I leaned over my face to escape a straight glance.

"I thought it would be good either way"

I didn't know the true meaning of that word and I leaned my neck.

Master William's blue eyes stare sincerely at me to give up if you're not interested in me for the nagging.

"Whether you have a scratch or not, what matters to me is that you are Liliana"

Big hands came and wrapped my cheeks around them.

"No matter how ugly the scars may be, I am good to you. Liliana is good with a beautiful heart that always smiles calmly and never forgets kindness"

How happy would I be if I stuck with a straight eye and this pluckness and its kindness?

I gently pressed Master William's hand around my cheek and stood up.

"Liliana?"

Surprisingly I smiled back at Master William, who frowned and tilted his neck, and I hung my hand on the sleeping button. Blue eyes open to amazement.

Unbutton each piece type of cotton bedding. My hands tremble with fear and nervousness and I can hardly unbutton them as I think. Still, I was able to finish removing the button slightly below it.

And then I hang my hand on the schmies inside and roll it up with my slowly trembling hands. For some reason, tears tell my cheeks and I fall, and my hands are trembling at will. I don't listen to anything I hate when I say it's my body.

"I'm never, ever a beautiful person"

As soon as the blue-white moonlighted sole reflected in her bright blue eyes, Master William opened his eyes more and more wide and took a breath.

"I... am an ugly monster... eh"

The skin, discolored into spots in red and purple to cover the bumpy scars that extend from the dovetail to the left lower back, even leaves traces of skin cramped and lightly cracked during the course of growth. Contrast with other white skins that remain as humans unnecessarily highlights the ugliness of this scar.

"... that day, a man with a short sword came aboard when a carriage suddenly stopped and the door was forcefully opened. I saw my father sitting in the seat across the street, scared, and... I was thrust... and a dagger shook down here, my horse rumbled and the carriage collapsed and some liquid hung on my wound. I don't remember much from here anymore...... I heard the knight and the man ran away. And the next time I woke up, it was on the bed in my room."

Take down the hem that was curly and cover the wounds.

"... sooner, sooner, I had to tell you... I was cheating, sorry, no. I'm not beautiful... I'm not really the kind of person you can take care of, like you can say I am, an ugly monster who hates me and deserves to be..."

I wiped my tears and forced myself to smile.

"... impossibly, don't laugh"

Kushiya skewed his face and Master William stood up and held me tight.

My body tends to unexpected things.

"You're not an ugly monster."

Master William did say it clearly in his ear.

"If you say it's unbelievable, say it again and again. I'm good with you. Liliana is good. I have no idea what an ugly monster you are."

I'm going to be held in my painful arms and I'm going to hold my breath.

"... would that have hurt?

Asked with a laborious voice, I nodded reflexively. As the back of your nose snaps, the tears that should have subsided will heat your eyeballs up again.

"You were scared, weren't you? It would have been painful, wouldn't it?

Kokon, Kokon, and like a child, Master William hugs me hard and hard just to snort.

"Still, you're in my arms now. This is how you can cuddle and make sure it's plush"

The relief from the bottom of my heart seeped in there and his voice was trembling. No, it's not just the voice. Arms and hands that hold me tight are shaking just like that voice.

"This scar is no sign of an ugly monster. You survived through pain and suffering, and it's a sign that you're strong."

There was Master William smiling gently with tears as his arms loosened and his face raised as prompted by the hand that accompanied him on his cheek.

"... I'm glad you're alive..."

Cover your mouth with both hands. I look up at the bright blue eyes. If I didn't, I would have raised my voice and cried.

Master William's face approaches, creaking to tears but touching his cheeks.

"Liliana, you're not an ugly monster. I'll say it again and again. Long before you can believe it... though it may be hard to believe my words I can't remember, but... I want you to believe me. I've decided I'll never forget you again. Your smile, your voice, your tricks, your favorite flowers, your favorite food, your bad vegetables, all your favorite novels, all of them, I'll never forget. I'll never forget this scar."

A big hand touched my scar from the top of my clothes. Layer your hands on hands that touch gently to work gently.

"There's no way I'm gonna hate you for all this."

My heart carved a heartbeat happily into that one word.

"... then,"

Now I'll stare straight into my blue eyes.

"Don't mess with me"

With a weak, small voice, I said all I could.

"If Master William ever forgets me again... I'll cry in pity."

I was overflowing with tears that were in the applause of laughter, pounding from next to next.

"I won't forget. I will never forget it. I swear to God, sword and you, I will never forget everything about you. My Liliana."

Master William was crying and laughing, and those tears were so beautiful.

It makes me laugh when you two are crying and laughing, and Master William muddles my tears as he says, "We're in each other's trouble." I also reached out and wiped Master William with his tear-stretched sleeve.

Somehow I wanted to be sweet and I looked cheeky at Master William's chest. That way, Master William's big hand will gently stroke your head.

"... by the way, does that wound still hurt? I touched you, but didn't it hurt?

I raise my face and shake my neck to the side.

"I don't feel pain anymore"

"... well. I wish it didn't hurt."

I was more and more overflowing with the feeling of liking to Master William, who loosened his expression as relieved as he was by words, and again slipped to Master William. That's cute, you laughed so small that Master William would lift me up and sit back in the chair again.

I feel all sorts of rocking chairs shaking on Master William's lap. From beyond the thick chest plate with my ears on it, I heard the sound of my heart, and my eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Master William's heart sounds must have a sleeping effect. William's warm fingertips, which gently hold my hand and carve a dull and loose rhythm at my fingertips, also invite me to sleep country.

William.

Sleepy and blurry, I look up to him. Blue eyes made me happy to be gently narrowed and laughed.

I used to like light pink, but now it's my favorite color.

"Daisy."

I whispered secretly in my heart, Ugh. I laughed and closed my eyes as I was invited to drowsiness.

Speaking of which, what was the other important reason for being here? If you'll forgive me, I was in a happy sleep tomorrow morning, thinking about asking.
