Episode 208
Knowing her past life, I thought I should talk about it first, so I asked what Elisha was concerned about. It was as important as a previous life.
“Then you……. What do you mean by calling doctors who are experts in mental illness and being treated? I know you've gone really crazy…….”
“Ian was really all over the place.”
“Don't blame Ian. You know it's easy to arrange your men's judo papers if I set my mind to it.”
“That's right.”
Lucerne nodded his head kindly. Lucerne was well aware that Elisha was a woman with the skills to handle most Sid with her fingertips. At the same time he thought If she's definitely my girl, she should have that level of skill. He thought they were a match made in heaven.
“Answer me, Lucerne. Are you really okay, are you?”
“If you answer me.”
Lucerne said. She lifted Elisha's chin.
“What are you going to do?”
Elisha glared at him.
“Continue with me……. I want to live with you. Then you have to be honest about this.”
Elisha no longer held back and spoke her true feelings.
“Sometimes I don't know. You talk nonsense about your incredible facts, and then you make me speechless about you. I think couples should talk to each other.”
“It's no big deal.”
Lucerne frowned.
“What the hell is it?”
“Should I know?”
Elisha nodded her head with her usual expressionless face.
Lucerne looked at her. And she felt that the words that came out of his mouth had hit her in the back of the head again.
“…… Couples counseling?”
Lucerne calmly nodded his head.
“So……. Counseling for marital relationships by yourself…… Have you been treated?”
“Rosaria sent someone.”
At those words, Elisha guessed the situation to some extent. The main god was the god of men and women, and was also the god of marriage. So, in the empire, marriage was solely subject to the Jushinjeon.
So, high-ranking aristocratic couples always received “Counseling” From the priest about their marital relationship during divorce mediation.
“I heard you take it to restore the marital relationship.”
“But Miss Rosaria…….”
She knew what Lucerne had done to her. Elisha thought at that moment.
'So Rosaria-sama had an intuition that we wouldn't get a divorce.'
Rosaria is the Great Pope. He has a lot of connections with the most noble people in the world, the imperial family and high-ranking nobles.
How can such people have a marital relationship and family system like another world? Maybe Rosaria has already encountered all the strange situations…….
“They said I had a problem and recommended counseling and treatment.”
“You did that……. You received it alone without me?”
“…… I couldn't act or speak normally before. That was until I met Pian and got corrected.”
Lucerne now casually said Pian's name. Elisha listened to her.
“Paian first taught me to imitate others. He showed aristocratic demeanor and told me to follow him unconditionally. I observed other people. Fortunately, the fourteen people I saw. The mercenaries who were my subordinates at the time came from various backgrounds. Some of them were well educated.”
“So did you do that again?”
Lucerne has never experienced a typical couple or family relationship. So he……. It needed someone This great and proud person was consulted by someone for Elisha.
“What was the consultation about?”
Lucerne recalled the 'consultation' he received earlier.
'Buy her a flower and tell her you love her. Light a candle and look into the eyes. That is the old secret of smoothing the relationship and preventing divorce.'
'Get out.'
However, Lucerne summoned the priest again. He pressed his forehead together and growled.
'Tell me again, starting with the candle.'
The priest said while trembling.
'So, marriage is a union based on interests……. It helps a lot to enjoy her wife's favorite hobbies together. What does your wife like?'
'…… She embroiders sometimes.'
'Yes, that way. She respects his wife's hobbies and sometimes together…….'
'Get out.'
On the first day of counseling, the priest was kicked out five times and then sent back into the room. At the end, the priest gave counseling while almost crying.

…… But Lucerne, as always, is short and concise. Only part of the facts were conveyed.
“It was nothing. I just want you to understand.”
“And what else did you learn?”
“Celebrate the anniversary, remember the things that are important to you, be considerate of you, and don't hold back.”
“And?”
“…… I heard you buy flowers if you do something wrong.”
Lucerne looked ridiculous even as he said it.
“…… Is that possible for you?”
“Some are possible, some are not.”
Lucerne spat out.
“But you said you would try. Don't lie.”
Elisha suddenly remembered his words. He said.
'I see you in my dreams too.'
Those words weren't a lie either. He didn't lie he really…… He was changing Tears welled up in Elisha's eyes.
“Why are you crying again?”
He stroked Elisha's eyes with her thumb.
“Aren't you proud of yourself? Someone like you……. He showed a weak side to others and received counseling, right?”
Lucerne's eyes grew serious. He said calmly.
“As I already said. I'm hanging on to you……. Desperately. In fact, it doesn't matter if things like pride become more sloppy.”
At that moment, she couldn't help but be moved enough to make even Elisha flinch once. She felt as if she had witnessed her impossibility right in front of her eyes and wondered.
“Really you. Aren't you sick?”
“…… He has a knack for breaking the mood.”
Lucerne said as if he was dumbfounded.
“Still, I like you like this.”
In an instant, Elisha's face turned red again and she turned her head away.
“Why, don't you have any more questions?”
Lucerne lifted Elisha's cheek and she said childishly. Elisha shook her head.
“…… It's okay, I'm too shocked just now. I don't want to surprise you any more.”
Lucerne clicked her tongue lightly.
“There are many things to surprise you, but it's a pity.”
“…… It's more because I know you're not bluffing when you say that.”
Elisha shook her head.
“Then let me speak slowly.”
Elisha gave her a small nod.
“You have a lot of time. It's time to be together.”
Elisha was taken aback by Lucerne's sudden silence. She just blinked her eyes and looked at him. In the next moment, his body was pulled tight. While the sheets were fading away, Lucerne wrapped Elisha's body around her and he rested his chin on Elisha's shoulder.
Her Lucerne's toned abs rose and fell, her firm arms cradling her in a fragile embrace. Elisha felt like she had become a little doll.
“Keep talking. In a positive way.”
He said in a languid command tone.
“Tell me you will stay by my side.”
Elisha blinked her eyes. Her tears fell quickly.
Oh, I don't know. Really she thought she might be doing something crazy. But she is responsible for the burns on his face……. No. Actually, that was pretty good. She just wanted to be by his side.
In a cabin confined by the householder……. When she really thought she might die, she did and the moment she ran surrounded by fire. It was as if he had come to rescue her. It dawned on her that she might have been living through that hell for this moment. And she realized
Actually, even then.
Even the moment I imprisoned you in a secret underground passage. Even when I was running through the fire with you like this. I didn't want to die with them.
I wanted to live together.
Even for a moment. Even for a moment I wanted to connect with him.
She wanted to be loved by him. I wanted you to know yourself. Even after going through so many things in his two lives, this sloppy lingering couldn't abandon him. I wanted him The noblest in this family. The essence of Cartier, the one who has everything. That stupid greed. Frozen heart. She always wanted him too much.
I really loved Lucerne. For a very long time…….
Elisha caught up with her feelings. We are almost there. Lucerne said he would approach her, but Elisha was also approaching him before he knew it. Now, one last step remains.
“Lucerne. I want to continue living with you.”
Power went into Lucerne's arm.
“But there are conditions for that.”
Elisha said calmly. And she said her last request.
