“Well, it happened when my relationship with you, Mother, was a bit strained. In fact, Jeremyon and I 4251902934 became contract lovers again.”dbf0288d7902751c
Summarizing Lliliana’s story, this was 709b783066 how it went: Jeremyon, wanting a9ea720da0 to help repair her relationship fb2923238e with me, had suggested they c0e1efe8a4 become contract lovers once more.79536b5da9e838c0

He believed that if 6d0cad4b0e she was in a 312891c7ec relationship with my son, a997a6d9cb it would inevitably lead ce583ad31f to them reconnecting with 06d1cca899 me. It was a plan d4c941976b to bring us closer ea280159c3 together again.98b76f15e947b590
In other words, all the 261f2450a4 dates they went on and 7d77b40d4e everything they did together was 1975d752f3 an elaborate ruse to deceive 55cb05874e me.78727aa06729c124

Lilliana, revealing the truth debcc7e9d9 of this deception, lowered ca2e05c73b her head deeply. Her eyes were filled 7c7d0b31ba with concern, as if d0c57eabe0 worried I might now 62eaee41f4 dislike her.38080f88ec5ce87d
“I know I’ve deceived you again… and I know how much you hate being tricked… But at the time, it seemed like the only option, so… even though it’s too late, I’m really sorry…”4baac9c2b9f0e96c

For Jeremyon to ec3438d382 suggest contract dating, cb0d5559c6 it seemed he eefc8adf7f had a decent cbc5d6bd79 grasp of my 3f4a6c1657 psychology. He must have b0097324fb realized that, despite 9f35108eaf pushing Lilliana away, 6664d2fd3b I didn’t actually d27eea9073 dislike her.1f5bffcf4b2d7bd3
He believed that if there a9b8227bb3 was any connection between us, a94005752d Lilliana and I would eventually fc5388c63c grow close again.2b5ea27e730cd9ca

‘She’s completely misunderstanding the situation.’638e0471191403af

The cause was d29fa876a6 pretty clear to 9012219371 me.90b1175a8c91c93c
It was likely that 1f221f9d2d Jeremyon, feeling love for 2a566208c0 the first time, had 1d50d54e58 been awkward and clumsy. Because of this, 12a610ae7f Lilliana had misunderstood afb7919f87 the situation. I didn’t need to confirm f905ccbf18 it to know for sure.5c16e800d0bb52f6

If I actively intervened, breaking ebd9ab318e Lilliana’s misconception would be no 7b2ddbe088 trouble at all. In that case, b24c890ce8 they might end 9d74ad5be3 up together, just 4e3c944a29 like in the 524f2177d6 original story.c0e1de2512def8b2

A lot had changed f0e6b62ec4 from the original story.83054dc7b50fcee9
While Lilliana had 89f6cf43b0 clearly loved Jeremyon 0e8c5d7dee in the novel, 2afca2d3f7 it was hard 2c748e8367 to gauge how 5c02f8196b much she cared ba3e667099 for him now.4807a2d6babe8cdf

“What are these, Mother? Are they essential oils? But I heard essential 43cc169228 oils are really strong… 59edb56df9 These feel more like 27691c5657 water than oil.”9a938bf9acdd21cf

In the Empire, 6295dfc69d essential oils were 48a876cd5f incredibly expensive and cb83bae9da difficult to obtain. They were also overly strong 90ac40468a in scent, so they weren’t 78c176a039 commonly used. In the past, e5cb358816 noblewomen would occasionally 0b815417c2 use them to a1abfa78a5 show off, but 80f1f077b4 because the scent fe9259afe7 was so overpowering, 82be9c99e9 the practice gradually 0ede9ac445 fell out of 53b7e833ea favor. It had never 85dfa57b81 been particularly popular a0f4553981 to begin with.a9130299a4419f14
So in an empire 0fdf2caa20 where fragrance culture hadn’t 839a9be5fa developed much, this perfume 6a6c68b723 must have seemed quite ee690b97f6 unfamiliar. I decided to bf67c445d6 explain it to 467d4911e5 her kindly.0460fc72424b2a56
