My Lover's Personality is a Little Strange

137

In the children's hands, there was an invitation with the imperial seal on it.

It was Erwin and Odelia's first time to receive such an official invitation.

Even during the meal, I couldn't take it off their hands.

The invitation was brightly framed with gold, and a dainty ribbon was attached.

'The inversion of the Imperial Palace has been somewhat cleared up, but...... I don't think I'll be able to make time.'

The vacancy of Ferdinand, one of the three main households of the Empire, made the work more heavy for me and Celine.

But I can't pretend I didn't see those sparkling eyes.......

"Sorry, Mom is too busy. Why don't you ask Uncle Brian instead?"

I sneakily left the children to Brother Brian.

Then the children looked at Brian, who was eating with a gloomy face.

Brian was saddened by the delay in his wedding with Celine.

"Brian Samjon!"

"Brian Samjon!"

"Will you take us please?"

"Lia and Er are babies, so they need an escort."

Brian nodded helplessly.

"Well, yes."

The sight made me giggle for no reason.

"I'm glad I have Brother Brian."

"I know. What would you have done without me?"

Brother Brian sighed back at my words.

Thanks to Brother Brian's help in the restoration of the Chernicia mansion, I was able to perform my family duties more easily.

"If my brother gets married, what should I do then?"

But after he marries Celine, I will need someone else to take care of the family's safety.

"Why don't you get married?"

Brother Brian asked in a passing tone.

"Marriage? With whom?"

"Well, anyone. If you have a man in your heart......."

"That's enough."

I replied with a half hearted smile.

"I have no intention of marrying someone."

A long time ago, I imagined myself holding someone's hand and entering the wedding hall, but.......

"Yes. I'm going to reinstate your family. And after that I will take you as my wife."

There's no man who used to kiss my hand and whisper like that anymore.......

I didn't love him because I wanted to get married.

I imagined myself having a wedding with him because I loved him.

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have thought of marriage in my life.

I didn't want to love anyone for marriage.

I just, I liked it now.

"I don't have the confidence to love someone that much again."

A bitter smile came out so I moistened my throat with a glass of water.

"Why? Don't tell me, that......."

It was when Brother Brian was about to ask me something.

Brian and I turned our heads at the same time at the glaring gaze.
