Chapter 6 : I Adopted The Main Character (1)
The illusion is freedom no matter how much it is, but I think this freedom is too much. Don’t you think the illusion is too much?
“It’s not. It’s just….it was a sad scene.”
“Well, I would be embarrassed to say that I understood. Now I understand why you are working so hard to break my curse. The question has been resolved.”
what are you talking about?! I’m trying to break the curse to live.
“Don’t be afraid, I won’t kill you just because you like me.”
“No, that’s not true. I don’t love you!”
Sikar looked at me with horrified eyes full of life and said.
“I hate being tricked, do you understand?”
I was terrified and couldn’t deny it anymore. If I deny it, it’s as if he’ll point the knife at me again to trick him.
“Then, see you tomorrow.”
Sikar wagged his tail and looked at me as if he were watching a loyal dog, then left.
‘No, didn’t you think about it after seeing my expression? ‘I’m helping you live because you tried to kill me!’
Yes. What does this crazy person do after he misunderstood me?
I cried. It was sad to see a man who had never laughed before die without smiling.
Because I saw myself in him.
Sikar only sees my memories and hears my voice, but he doesn’t feel my feelings at that time. So it seemed like he was completely wrong, he only saw the tears I shed and not my feelings.
Relying on someone else’s memory, he must have been able to ignore my bewildered expression.
***
The next day, Sikar and I were ready to adopt Kian in no time. The procedures were very simple, we did not have to meet the queen personally, I just signed the papers that Sikar brought me.
The procedure was very simple, and i wondered if both parents had to be there, but Sikar threatened, saying that even if it was simple, it was the law of the land that had to be followed.
Anyway, according to the national law of the Kingdom of Ricador, she legally became the ideal wife for Sikar. So i took the title of Sikar and became Yura Blake, Duchess of Blake.
Even while we were making all the preparations, Kian rarely woke up.
It wasn’t as if Marquis Raidox had fed Kian the wrong herbs on purpose, but Kian had been asleep for some time.
Maybe because he hasn’t been able to sleep properly for some time and has been starving for a long time.
Sikar was worried about Kian. Of course I was worried, but it was Sikar who suggested that I go to Kian’s room first.
He stared at Kian for a while, then suddenly grabbed the child by the scruff and lifted him up.
Startled, she runs in front of Sikar.
“Wh-what are you doing?”
“I just checked to see if he was breathing.”
“Then can you lower your head! Kian isn’t a lion cub!”
“Keep my head down? Me?”
“…Because he will be your child now. Children are weaker than adults, so you have to treat them gently.”
“The main character is completely weak. Weak people die quickly. It seems this guy was lucky to be born as the main character and survived.”
“Because it’s a sitar.”
Sitars are a humanoid species, but they are strong, agile and good-looking like elves.
Above all, their superiority was the ability to control spirits.
Although he couldn’t summon spirits himself, he could control the spirits he summoned or stray spirits on his own.
Of course, not all sitars were excellent.
Only Sikar had such excellent ability.
For example, just as humans are intelligent animals and not everyone is highly intelligent, Sikar was unique.
“I’d rather stay here until Kian wakes up. Then the Child will feel better rested.”
Sikar didn’t say he didn’t like it despite his tired expression. As much as he saw my memories, he seemed to have almost observed the child’s psyche.
“Why don’t we give Kian a dream catcher?”
“Dream catcher?”
“It’s a supplement that eliminates nightmares and allows you to have only good dreams.”
The original story says that Kian often has nightmares, so it would be nice to make something like that.
“Hurry up and do it.”
“No. He will like it if you do it for him, not me.”
“me?”
“You’re the one who needs Kian, not me. Wouldn’t it be better for you to do it yourself if you want to get closer to Kian?”
Sikar looked at me with an unwilling face and held my hand.
“You! When you hold my hand in the future, hold it with my permission!”
“don’t be shy.”
“It’s not like that!”
Sikar didn’t respond as if he was ignoring my words, and focused on reading my memories. Then he tilted his head, took my hand, and sat me on a chair in front of the table.
Then he came with a notebook and pen, and then started drawing the dream catcher while holding my hand.
“It’s really weird-looking. Well, everything in your memory is weird.”
While Sikar was drawing, I was still in his hands.
It felt like a USB. It’s as if I’m connected to your computer until you transfer all the files in UBS to your computer.
While I was sitting holding Sikar’s hand without moving, I felt sleepy.
Sikar held my hand with one hand, drew a dream catcher, and stood up.
I told him he had to make it himself and he would.
The whole time I was holding Kian’s hand tightly waiting for him to wake up.
What kind of dream is he dreaming? Does he dream of losing his parents?
Even though Sikar was making a beautiful golden dream catcher, Kian didn’t wake up.
Kian wasn’t sick or anything like that. He was asleep for some unknown reason.
“Is the boy dead?”
“….he is alive. The main character doesn’t die that easily. He must have been very tired, so it’s best to leave it until he wakes up.”
Usually sleeping children looked like angels, but Kian looked tired even when he was asleep.
“I feel sorry for him.”
Sikar, who was looking at Kian calmly, scratched his chin and looked at me.
“Then you have to learn to do some housework until Kian wakes up. Since you are the hostess here, you have to learn to use servants, don’t you know anything?”
Hmmm. If that was the case, I was a little confident.
I only had experience handling children from birth, but since Sikar said he hired servants based on their personality, it seemed like they wouldn’t be difficult to work with.
And no matter how much I stand around as a duchess in name, I am still the hostess of the Blake household. So I must act appropriately.
“Good. I will learn how to deal with servants today.”
“Before that, you should greet Vika first. I don’t know if you’ve seen the slimy woman standing in the corner at the wedding, but she’s Vika. You definitely know her well without having to explain, but you still have to greet her.”
Ah, Vika Lambert! She owes her life to Sikar and he captured her with an oath of loyalty.
She is over 140 years old, but she is a young, beautiful, half-elf and a dark woman.
Except for her white hair and dark skin, she has a human appearance.
Sikar, who took the oath, saw Vika tied in a spider web in a giant spider’s nest while searching for a psychic who could lift his curse.
Sikar asked Vika, who was tied up in a spider’s web, about the whereabouts of the Fire Spirit Master, but Vika told him that she would find the Spirit Master.
This was an oath that couldn’t be broken until the curse of Sikar was lifted. So, in the end, Vika was one of the unfortunate villains who lost her life at the hands of the main character, Kian, while embarking on a journey to lift the curse of Sikar.
Vika’s death, due to the oath, inflicts great psychological damage on Sikar and weakens his strength.
Even though she lost her life to the Main Character Kian, she was a very attractive person, so the thought of meeting her was half frightened and half nervous.
“where is she?”
As soon as I asked the question, I heard Vika’s voice behind me.
“I’m here, ma’am.”
It was a very attractive sound with thick, heavy bass. I turned my head and saw Vika standing with her arms crossed and her back against the wall.
The appearance of her straight, waist-length white hair and tanned brown skin was much more mysterious than the description in the novel.
“Be polite and introduce yourself, Vika.”
Vika smiled, took the lemon in her hand and chewed it annoyed.
“She seems to know everything about me already, why should I introduce myself?”
I heard that Vika has good hearing. However, since she is in partnership with Sikar she can’t secretly eavesdrop on the story.
Sikar also looked surprised, so he put on a puzzled expression for a moment, then tapped his forehead.
“Vika, your hearing has become bad. Didn’t I say I’d cut off this ear if you heard me?”
“Do whatever you want. Cutting off my ears won’t harm my hearing. The organ that controls hearing is inside the ear.”
She didn’t even care if her ears were cut off. So Sikar had an insensitive face as if he had lost even the will to cut off her ears.
“Why did you do that? How long have you had a hobby of eavesdropping?”
Vika carelessly scratched her ears and moved her eyebrows.
“What you are doing these days is very strange. Didn’t you suddenly marry a woman you had never seen before and take a child? I thought maybe you had suddenly gone crazy. If so, I wondered if you would break this oath while you were crazy.”
“How well did you hear?”
“many things? That you see someone else’s memory and that child is going to kill you? But what is even stranger than that is that woman. No, I mean what’s strange is what’s in that woman’s memory.”
Fortunately, haven’t you heard that this is a novel?
“Your wife can see the future?”
Sikar seemed to think this was good luck too.
“I think she can.”
“My lady loves you, so you married the lady who can see the future.”
Oh no. I hope you don’t misunderstand me this way.
“She loves me so much. She was in tears when I died.”
Sikar said triumphantly, as if someone would cry when he died, and Vika responded with a very surprised expression, as if asking how such a thing could happen.
“Really? The lady seems to like you very much.”
‘No, even if I don’t like him very much, people can shed tears when someone dies, you bastards.’
I’ve never shed a tear when someone died, so I don’t know.
“Since Miss Vika has already heard all our conversation, have we finished the introduction?”
“Count on me, ma’am.”
“By the way, Miss Vika.”
“please talk.”
“Let us add another condition to your oath with Sikar.”
Vika scoffed as if asking what that meant.
“What, how do you add a condition?”
“From now on, whenever you hear our conversation, you will suffer the curse that Sikar receives instead.”
It would be difficult for Vika to continue eavesdropping on our conversations in the future, so I had no choice but to attach this condition.
Vika’s position itself was also not clear, and it seemed absurd that I, who sat with difficulty in the position of a Madam, put forward such a condition.
I looked at Sikar as if this made sense, but Sikar only raised one corner of his mouth saying it was interesting.
“Do you understand now that the reason I married that woman is not just to see the future?”
Are you saying that a human being like me has such a confident side? So, are you praising me?
Vika couldn’t refuse my terms, because it was clearly wrong for her to overhear the conversation.
After reluctantly accepting the condition of not eavesdropping, she looked at me and rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
“Are you satisfied now, Duchess Blake?”
I think she’s in a bad mood. But this is aesthetically better than cutting off her ears.
he’s so delulu 😭😭
