IRMY Chapter 10
by QuillHe 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.
“To elaborate, if our marriage is devoid of romance, it’s actually preferable. I won’t seek you out after we’re married. We will live in the same space, but we’ll rarely see each other.”
“…”

“My current condition can’t be simply described as ‘ill.’ As you know, the curse on the Spioren family drives people to madness.”
He continued explaining in a calm voice. Yuro already knew this, but hearing it directly from Melione felt different.

“I will gradually lose my humanity. It would be a mistake to think of it as simply being bedridden due to illness. I will become less human, more beast-like, and eventually, I might hurt someone.”
Yuro listened silently. He had read Melione’s life countless times. In the novel, in the script, and even in the fragmented character settings left by the author.

Yet, hearing Melione calmly describe his own future filled Yuro with a sense of unease. Melione was a truly unfortunate character in the novel.
He struggled to cope with his condition, suffering in agony, and eventually gave up and embraced his role as the villain. No, perhaps even that wasn’t his choice.

He was merely a character who had to live according to the author’s intention.
“And the moment we marry, this won’t just happen to me.”

“…I’m vaguely aware.”
Yuro deliberately gave a vague answer, but Melione chuckled and replied,

“It’s already common knowledge that those who marry into the Spioren family don’t meet good ends, so you don’t have to beat around the bush.”
“…”

“I am curious about your true intentions, Your Highness, for coming all this way despite knowing this.”
Melione took a slow sip of wine. Yuro, his throat suddenly dry, also took a sip of water. Only the sound of sipping filled the silence.

“We don’t have time to get to know each other slowly, so let’s drop it. You don’t seem inclined to tell me anyway.”
As expected, Melione didn’t believe him. Yuro had anticipated this and smiled awkwardly. He could have jumped up and shouted, ‘I came here because I love you!’ but he didn’t.

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.
He had come this far to save Melione, and with his own life on the line, he wasn’t going to sit idly by. He had a concrete plan, and he would save Melione with his own hands.

So, there was no need for reassurances or declarations of true love. Melione might have said they didn’t have time to get to know each other, but soon, Melione would realize that his fate was slowly changing.

‘Although the ceremony will be a small one at the cathedral, there are still preparations to be made. We’ll begin immediately, but please don’t hesitate to speak up if you change your mind.’

‘You have three days.’
Melione had given Yuro three days to reconsider his decision. He emphasized that the moment they married, Yuro would also become subject to the curse.

Even if he ran away, there would be no escaping the persistent curse. Clutching the catalog tightly, Yuro muttered inwardly,
‘Where would I even run to?’

The curse wasn’t limited to the Duke. He, too, had met an untimely death at a turning point in his life and had been reincarnated into this hopeless novel.
Wasn’t this a curse as well? Both he and the Duke were destined to die. It was a story too unbelievable to utter aloud, much to his regret.

“Your Highness, are there no designs you like?”
Madame Diana’s cautious voice snapped Yuro out of his thoughts.

“No. I like them all, so I can’t choose. Haha.”
Yuro replied with his brightest smile, and Diana, who had been looking at him nervously, visibly relaxed.

“I’m relieved. I was worried that you didn’t like any of the designs. As a prince of Norden, you must have had your own personal designer.”
“Ah…”

“So I was worried my designs wouldn’t meet your standards.”
Yuro’s smile faltered at her words. Personal designer? He had never even heard of such a thing.

If anyone had a personal designer, it would have been his siblings and Clope, not him. Since his transmigration, he had been making do with the existing clothes, but that probably wasn’t the case for the original Yuro Lechis.
He could guess as much, judging by the way the original Yuro was treated. He probably only wore decent clothes for mandatory official appearances.

Considering his two older half-brothers, it was clear they would have only provided him with clothes barely suitable for maintaining appearances.
They wouldn’t have tolerated an illegitimate child wearing the same clothes as the true princes.

Even if Ceylon and Norden were far apart, they must know that Yuro was an illegitimate child. Did she think he was treated well there? Or was this some subtle sarcasm he was failing to understand?
Yuro placed the catalog on the table and looked at Madame Diana. Even if it was sarcasm, he wasn’t going to argue with her.

He didn’t have the time or the energy for such petty arguments. His mind was preoccupied with figuring out how to approach the wary Duke.
“As you know, Norden is very cold, and Ceylon is warm, so the clothing styles are different, and I’m not sure what to choose. I only need a few essential outfits for now, so I would appreciate it if you could choose some for me.”

“We can alter Madame Diana’s selections to suit your immediate needs, Your Highness. The clothes you choose from the catalogs will be for your wardrobe in general.”
Raymond, who had been standing silently, added. Yuro chuckled awkwardly and muttered,

“But I don’t know how long I’ll be staying… although, of course, I’m definitely getting married…”
Yuro glanced at Madame Diana, wondering if it was appropriate to say such things openly in front of others.

Everyone in Ceylon must know that Melione was terminally ill. That meant they also knew Yuro’s fate, having agreed to marry him.
However, he felt uncomfortable discussing such matters in front of an outsider. Of course, he didn’t mean, “I’m going to die soon, so why do I need a lot of clothes?”

He had said it because he planned to leave the duchy as soon as Melione recovered, but the butler, perhaps misinterpreting his words, remained silent with a subtle expression, and Madame Diana pretended not to hear, sipping her tea.
As Yuro marveled at the social skills of someone who dealt with the nobility, Raymond said firmly,

“The only thing Your Highness needs to consider is whether what you desire is worth its value. Choosing a design fulfills its purpose in itself.”
“…”

“If you’re not satisfied with the finished product, you can always order new ones, so you don’t have to worry too much about the rest.”
Yuro nodded at Raymond’s words. It was a needless worry, as his purchases wouldn’t even make a dent in the duchy’s finances.

If he didn’t wear the clothes, he could just leave them behind, or if necessary, he could take them with him and sell them somewhere.
Raymond, oblivious to Yuro’s thoughts, looked at the now relaxed Yuro, who was nodding, and then turned to Diana.

“Please have one of each design in the catalog made and sent over. Can you have his current clothes altered and sent back to him today?”
“Wait, but…”

Yuro tried to stop Raymond in surprise, but Diana, delighted by the large order, readily agreed.
“Raymond, I don’t need that many clothes.”

“Madame Diana’s clothes are worth more than their price. His Grace’s clothes are also made at Madame Diana’s atelier.”
“I understand the clothes are beautiful, but…”

“Then it’s settled.”
Yuro, speechless, closed his mouth, and Diana immediately took out another catalog and presented it to him.

“Now, shall we choose some shoes?”
Her eyes sparkled like gold coins, and Yuro, forcing a smile, accepted the catalog.
