( ´_ゝ`) – Chapter 3
Liana was born as the daughter of a low-ranked baron.
Even though her father was a low ranked baron, he was smart enough to work in the library of the royal palace. On the other hand, her mother had once been called the Rose of high society.
Liana, who had wavy blonde hair, white porcelain skin, beautiful sea-blue eyes, a healthy body, a kind atmosphere, a witty manner of speaking, and a shy attitude, was raised strictly but tenderly by her parents. She was very popular despite her low status. She had grown up to be a wonderful lady.
In this country, a lady’s marriageable age was around 16 to 20 years old, but her mother had collapsed due to a sudden illness shortly after Liana’s debut in becoming the Rose of high society.
Liana had a brother, Leon, who was 12 years younger.
She spent the days taking care of her brother and mother instead of trying to find a partner.
Her mother, whom she had taken care of with such devotion, eventually passed away when Liana turned 24.
Even at 24, Liana was still beautiful and looked like she had in her teens. There were many proposals for her hand in marriage, but at that time her 12-year-old brother had wished to enter the royal academy. The baron was not wealthy, and having already spent a considerable amount of money on her mother’s medical fees, he could not afford to send her brother to the royal academy anymore.
One of Liana’s options was to become the second wife of a wealthy aristocrat. However, after consulting her father who would not agree to sell her off, it was decided that Liana would work as a maid in the royal palace.
This was the beginning of her misfortune.
Liana caught the eyes of the King shortly after she started working.
The King was well past his 40s and had two other wives besides the Queen. However, the only children he had were with the Queen.
He had two princes and two princesses with the Queen, and they had decided to let the First Prince, Ricardo, to succeed the throne.
The Queen was from a high ranked family and was very skilled.
Although the King wasn’t dumb, but he wasn’t considered smart either. He wasn’t indecisive, but he wasn’t considered to be someone who could make decisions either. The King, who was a picture of indecisiveness himself, relied on the Queen in both public and private matters.
He also had many skilled subordinates so the government was neither bad nor good.
The usually indecisive king’s sudden decisiveness was amazing when it came to Liana.
The king who fell in love at first sight with her made Liana his personal maid with a momentum that should have been displayed in political affairs. When Liana resisted, he threatened her using her brother and attacked her.
But the Queen was a wise person with good intuition and noticed this folly. By the time she made the king dogeza and apologize, Liana was already pregnant.
The Queen was a person with justice and did not blame Liana, even offering her the position as the second wife. But, Liana did not want to stay as a second wife to the person who had forcibly attacked her and told the empress that she did not even have the confidence to love the child she bore.
However, this country’s religion did not allow abortions or the birth of a child from an unmarried mother.
The Queen was troubled and finally decided to ask her old acquaintance, the Earl of a remote region, Will Theodore, whether he would accept a second marriage to Liana.
The Earl had lost his beloved wife but did not remarry and instead raised his eldest daughter Ellen alone.
Will was still young and tired of his relatives urging him to remarry.
And although Will was a very skilled person, he was someone born with a frail body and would usually be bedridden for half of the year.
Will had no desire to remarry, but after hearing Liana’s story from the Queen, he decided to have a second marriage to help her out.
He even explained the situation to his oldest daughter, Ellen.
Usually, an adult’s circumstances are kept hidden, but Will explained the situation to Ellen without hiding anything.
Will was an honest man who was neither good nor bad.
Ellen was still young, but like her father, she was smart and quickly understood the presented circumstances.
In addition to that, Ellen had already been wanting a mother and siblings so she was delighted when she heard about the remarriage.
「Heck, from what I’m hearing, that kuso Jiji (king) (TL: Kuso Jiji means um…shitty old man) still hasn’t given up on Liana-sama right? (°▽°)?」
From her father’s story, she had already come to the conclusion that King = perverted kuso Jiji.
Will also had no objection to that opinion and did not deny his beloved daughter’s words.
「If you say so, then that must be so. The Queen is looking after Liana so I believe it’s alright for now. Alright. Let’s have her come over as a bride for emergency refuge.」
Both Will and Ellen have an irresponsible personality.
But, the Queen also agreed with the opinion that the king has not given up on Liana and again consulted with Liana. They then decided that in order to protect from the King who has yet to give up, they will formally marry Liana to Will.
