IRMY Chapter 10

He reiterated what he had already said the previous night. He didn’t care about Yuro’s reasons for proposing; he was simply complying with the Emperor’s order, as he had no intention of producing an heir.85bac15ece256e6e

“To elaborate, if our 14c2554342 marriage is devoid of 16a665bb38 romance, it’s actually preferable. I won’t seek a43dc54046 you out after 52e70f357e we’re married.

He continued 5d7047a687 explaining in 49f49131a2 a calm 8d526e6b81 voice. Yuro already knew this, 7a03b96056 but hearing it directly 246fb51cc4 from Melione felt different.96d245dff55e04d1

“I will gradually lose 0c0a9fdf34 my humanity. It would be a 1184f141c0 mistake to think of a7f319a7cc it as simply being 4a63aea281 bedridden due to illness.

Yuro listened silently. He had read Melione’s bc4c2d7fcc life countless times. In the novel, in 46e8d11cb8 the script, and even 56b17de24c in the fragmented character 2a51cb1bf6 settings left by the cd1bd9f7ce author.ab801c6b3ede504f

Yet, hearing Melione e1ac631e53 calmly describe his 12d3d2ac41 own future filled 1a0b16a455 Yuro with a 65ac360904 sense of unease. Melione was a f3dda2c247 truly unfortunate character 5d4b7b8364 in the novel.d7cfa94ee7657e34

Melione took a 5cb79181db slow sip of e2a12079b2 wine. Yuro, his throat suddenly 2279496551 dry, also took a daf8833509 sip of water. Only the 9b4be15870 sound of c24d446e1a sipping filled 6f42523bb1 the silence.47f8813dcc4a7992

As expected, d011bdd699 Melione didn’t 026af41800 believe him. Yuro had anticipated c0cdcbf3a1 this and smiled 0fe2dab343 awkwardly. He could 6aa0c280a7 have jumped e705e53cbb up and b4b0ff69cd shouted, ‘I 8d5574639a came here 3da44a784f because I 94788f50aa love you!’ 43fe6093e8 but he 8dac3258c0 didn’t.9dad5d6a601192f3

Melione wouldn’t die. Yuro could guarantee it. If he couldn’t lift Melione’s curse, his own life would be at risk after they married.e705bab0757ba282

He had come 0fc8c89dee this far to 168dc5d4f4 save Melione, and edef71ed9f with his own 84b422cf70 life on the 8b72ab904e line, he wasn’t d60ded4f12 going to sit 20fb5f73b2 idly by.

So, there was no 828f37ff63 need for reassurances or 7ca84a99ae declarations of true love. Melione might have 91d919bcb8 said they didn’t da48e2b628 have time to e878626063 get to know 7305e746a2 each other, but fa0dd92b33 soon, Melione would 69ac4a0234 realize that his 3acc667691 fate was slowly 8e008c5760 changing.ae6b8222abaf9686
