Chapter 102.1

Yurina looked at his complex looking face and closed her eyes. She wasn’t surprised by his sudden question. She actually thought she would tell him all of her story since she asked him about his past.

However, despite such determination, she couldn’t open her lips easily.

‘Can I really tell you everything?’

Yurina had faith that Reynard loved her and would be by her side no matter what, but she was a little skeptical about whether he would believe her true story. It was so absurd that it was hard to believe even with his love for her.

No, it was natural not to believe it. What Yurina was really worried about was something else.

‘What if I’ll disappoint you.’

Seven years ago, she was afraid of what she would look like when he learned that she had been looking for him, offered to support him, and tried to buy him favors by being deliberately nice to him, all because of her own selfishness.

But she couldn’t keep it a secret forever. And Yurina continued to hesitate, knowing that it was a truth she would have to reveal someday.

She didn’t want to be hated by him. Yurina never thought the day would come when she would have such thoughts, but she realized that her feelings for him was deeper than she thought.

“How the hell did you know about red eyes?”

As Yurina’s silence continued, Reynard pressed his body closer and asked. Yurina took a deep breath through her nose and opened her eyes. The red eyes of her Raynard were staring at her unwaveringly at her, containing her uneasiness.

‘I wonder if Ray felt the same way as me.’

When he realized that the person she was looking for was Karion, not him, he must have felt the same way. As he who cried like a child while holding Yurina by the hem of her skirt.

He wouldn’t want to be hated by her, and he wouldn’t have wanted to be abandoned either. Perhaps it was similar to the feelings she felt now, but more desperate.

He would be greatly shocked if Yurina didn’t tell him. According to his personality, he would rather scratch his wounds and hurt himself again, blaming himself rather than blaming her for not speaking up.

He would blame himself for why he wasn’t ‘Karion’. Even though it was absolutely not his fault, he was a man who could blame even that on himself.

After thinking about that, Yurina was finally able to make up her mind.

‘I can’t hurt you anymore.’

Even if all the people in the world pointed at him, she had already promised herself long ago that she would embrace his wounds. Yurina took a deep breath through her nose and smiled.

Even if he doesn’t believe all of this, she’ll be honest.

‘No, he’ll believe it.’

And his feelings for her won’t change.

Yurina touched his cheek with both hands. Reynard lowered his head, as if begging for more, and pressed his forehead to hers. When he put his hand down and rubbed her neck gently, she let out a small sigh as if she had relaxed.

“Remember what I said before? The story I told you when I was very young.”

“What story?”

“About my dream. I said I actually saw the man that I was in love in my dreams.”

Reynard frowned slightly, then nodded.

“I remember. You mean the dream of being killed by the father of the woman who became his new lover?”

“How… How do you remember that?”

Although she asked if he remembered, Yurina didn’t expect him to really remember. That’s right, it’s already been 7 years.

It was a big shock to her to meet Curtis, the main character of the original work, but it was a very trivial thing to Reynard.

He sincerely comforted her, saying that it was natural to be scared even if it was a dream that day, but as time passed, Yurina assumed that he would have forgotten not only to hear the story, but also to have comforted her.

Reynard laughed lightly at Yurina, who blinked her eyes wide open like a surprised rabbit, then kissed her on the tip of her nose.

“How can I forget? This is a serious story for you. Stories that are important to you are important to me.”

“But it was a long time ago…”

“I remember everything from long ago.”

Does that mean that he has already valued her as much as Yurina treated him with sincerity? She was vaguely feeling it, but she was honestly moved by his newfound heart. But now, there was no time to wallow in such emotions.

“So why are you talking about dreams all of a sudden?”

Yurina licked her lips with her tongue as she watched him silently wait for her answer. Reynard’s gaze moved to her lips for a moment before he gulped.

Was he nervous or did he have other dirty thoughts? Either way, he looked cute, so she opened her lips a little lightheartedly.

“You may not believe what I’m about to tell you.”

“I’ll believe anything unless you say you hate me.”

“You can’t say something like that.”

Yurina pressed her cheeks with her fingers with emotion. Reynard buried his face in the nape of her neck as if he was trying to play her. Yurina, feeling his lips pressed against her still sensitive neck, pulled her back and opened her mouth to speak.

“What I said then was actually not just a dream.”

“Then?”

As the hot breath touched the nape of her neck, she grabbed his shoulder and took a deep breath.

“I saw the future.”

Reynard raised his head and met her gaze. Unable to look into his eyes, Yurina turned her head away.

“Look into my eyes and tell me.”

Yurina bit her lip once and turned her head back.

“The lover I was talking about back then was the Crown Prince.”

Before she could finish his sentence, Reynard clenched his teeth so hard that his jaw stiffened. Because she was so close to him, she could vividly hear the grinding of teeth.

“Somehow, from the first time I saw him, I said I didn’t like him. He…”

Yurina quickly covered his mouth with her hands.

“Be careful. The opponent is His Highness the Crown Prince. No matter how much soundproofing magic you use, you have to be careful.”
