Episode 212

The year Elisha returned to Lucerne.

That year, Lucerne and Elisha only fought twice. In the first fight, Lucerne was very angry, and in the second fight, on the contrary, Elisha was very angry.

Lucerne has been gentle ever since reuniting with Elisha.

When the scar on his face healed, Elisha reminded him of the condition of reunion.

'Rewrite the marriage contract. This time, I also attached the content I wanted.'

Lucerne brought a draft of the marriage contract, which arranged all the contents of the huge amount of alimony and debt. And there was a lot of information written there.

“You……. Are you crazy?”

“Why?”

“Just giving 15% of your personal wealth is too low. By the way, is it a condition of the marriage contract giving 50% of the Cartier family assets?”

“My personal or family assets are tied up anyway, so you can't use them as you please.”

“I know there is a way to steal it all. Do you think I don't know how to do bookkeeping? No……. Why the hell?”

“Isn't it too much to question if the other person is sane after receiving a gift?”

“…… I never asked for it.”

Elisha realized then. Lucerne is literally trying to keep her promise to Elisha.

Nothing shows the sincerity of someone from the Cartier family more than spending money. But more than that is to give 'rights'. To the Cartier family, money is literally like water. Giving the right to have that waterway was a huge deal.

A former head of household who is crazy about her wife. Neither did he give her wife a penny. Breaking her wings. Because that was the love of the Cartier family.

Realizing that, Elisha couldn't contain her shock. However, he took her heart and made her original request go through.

“…… I really like this. I have only one condition.”

And that day, she saw Lucerne angry for the first time in a long time.

“No way.”

“…… Lucerne. You said you would grant me all the conditions I wanted.”

“Do you think I've become a fool because I fell for you?”

Lucerne growled.

“You want full custody of your future children?”

Even if people change, instincts have not gone anywhere. Lucerne wanted to keep Elisha by her side and she was afraid she would leave.

Giving Elisha custody of her child was tantamount to giving her wings, she said. No, it was the same as pushing me on the back whenever she told me to take it off.

“Otherwise there is no continuation of the marriage.”

Elisha said firmly.

“Don't run away, Lucerne. Anyway……. If I'm going to divorce you, you're going to tie me up. It's just symbolic. Isn't it?”

“Then you will run away by any means. Be able to do that.”

“…… Are you going back to the dodol table again? Because you want to live with me Is this the attitude of someone who believes in me?”

Elisha stared at Lucerne. She could now move Lucerne with just her expression and glance.

Lucerne really didn't lie anymore. 'I can't beat you anymore,' he said one day. As the saying goes……. He couldn't overcome Elisha's stubbornness,

While gnashing her teeth, Lucerne set up a very complicated and difficult divorce procedure to prevent Elisha from easily asking for her divorce in the future.

Ian knew how to read some legal documents. He was able to act as a witness to Black Lion's Seadra contract.

The most important contracts between high-ranking nobles were notarized by a socially prestigious third party as a witness. It was Ian who somehow found out about the secret between the two, so he was selected. When Ian saw the contract, he was impressed.

“My God, this is a marriage contract no one can escape. But the general. No If the head of the family is having an affair or provides a reason for blame, the wife can ask for a divorce.”

“Oh, I'm not worried about that part.”

“I'm not worried about that part.”

Lucerne and Elisha answered at the same time. Ian rolled his eyes.

It was then signed by Nora as a witness.

“If you bring tears to our madam's eyes, I will take her and run away.”

Lucerne suddenly had a strange feeling at that moment. It was a feeling that I had heard that word before.

“Nora, it doesn't matter.”

Lucerne laughed at Nora's words. Besides, he had been ringing Elisha for several nights already. It was tears of joy, though.

Elisha spoke sweetly to Nora.

“Nora, I told you not to call me that.”

Nora noticed that her face was very red. Barely. 'Yes, Elisha. Sister.' So she replied and signed.

And now everything was over. Ian and Nora left, and Elisha looked at Lucerne.

Taking all custody of unborn children. This condition of marriage was something that would be talked about for a long time to come.

Elisha knew how tolerant Lucerne had become. She gently looked into Lucerne's eyes.

“I'm angry?”

“…… No.”

“I have no intention of running away. Having children means that I have decided to live with you for the rest of my life.”

“…… Know.”

Lucerne said in a bitter tone.

“Isn't there a next move for you, I thought so.”

Elisha flinched.

“What do you mean?”

“I don't doubt you. We're too entangled for that now. But a woman like you always exceeds my imagination. It makes me think about how far it is in your painting and how far it is not in your frame.”

Elisha looked at him quietly.

“My life is obsessed with you. I cannot deny that.”

“Well.”

Lucerne nodded her head.

“However.”

“…….”

“It doesn't matter if it's not in your picture. If only we could be together.”

Lucerne said. Elisha blinked her eyes. And she went to Lucerne. She sat on his lap.

“I will not leave……. You wouldn't know That I've always wanted you in two lives…….”

Lucerne's arms tightly hugged Elisha's waist. He drew in a breath.

“I love you.”

“Yes.”

Elisha nodded her head.

“I Love.”

With that, Lucerne's anxiety subsided. It was a new method she found.

*​ *​ *​

Lucerne occasionally lost his temper during the days of discussing the contents of her marriage contract with Elisha. After the process was over, Elisha also found the handle of a chair in Lucerne's library that was tattered.

'How strong is your grip?'

Elisha felt a slight chill. However, the already signed marriage contract was in Elisha's hand.

“Her first job as the head of household's wife should start with replacing the old furniture. Her armrests should be made of a particularly hard material.”

Elisha said nonchalantly. In a sense, they were a match made in heaven.

*​ *​ *​

The second fight was due to Lucerne overdosing on sleeping pills and Mauritiana flowers.

“I said no! They say they are not curious about the disappearing time, but why!”

“I want to know.”

Lucerne frowned. After taking a sleeping pill and smoking a Moriatia flower hallucinogen, Lucerne went to bed and wanted to dream.

For what reason do you have such a dream? What the hell was the time Elisha turned around? Because it was still a mystery between the two.

“Besides, there's no way I would have given up on you. A woman like you.”

“Why are you saying that? For me, every moment of my previous life, having a crush on you was a wound. Why…….”

Plus taking sleeping pills and hallucinogens and interrogating yourself. It affected Lucerne's health. It was only once, but for a very brief moment, the heart stopped. So she didn't have a wife who would give her permission.

“It's fine now.”

Above all, Elisha was no longer obsessed with the past. I am happy living with Lucerne. She has a present, and she is loved by him.

“If you do this, I will never sleep with you. Use each room.”

Elisha is uncommonly angry with Lucerne and she becomes very cold. Lucerne eventually raised the white flag.

“Aren't you curious what memory I last saw?”

Elisha looked at Lucerne with her cold eyes and put her hand on his chest.

“There is nothing more curious about me than whether my husband's heart is beating safely. Do you want me to recommend drugs to you out of simple curiosity? Oh, if you want, I can inhale it too. What is that Mauritiana flower? It.”

“…….”

“If you really want, yes. How are those conditions? You're interrogating me every time you take hallucinogens. I'm curious about your memories of me. Then it's quicker to interrogate me. You like rational things, you.”

Lucerne looked at the blue eyes that looked at him calmly to the point of cruelty, and then agreed.

“…… Refrain from it.”

Only then did Elisha nod.

This time, it was Elisha's victory.

*​ *​ *​

Elisha and Lucerne reconciled the very next day.

Lucerne went up to Elisha and hugged her from behind.

“Are you sad?”

“No.”

Elisha gave a small answer.

“I can't help but feel sad. I will be obsessed with every single shadow of you for the rest of my life. So you better get used to it.”

Lucerne said calmly. Elisha was astonished at his shamelessness, but instead gave a cheesy laugh.

“Well, it depends on my condition.”

“…….Situation?”

“It is said that pregnancy often runs out of patience. How do you know what's ahead? But people can't fundamentally change, so we have to endure and live together.”

Elisha said calmly. And she caressed Lucerne's thumb, she said.

“What can I do? You can't raise the child in your belly alone.”

She removed Lucerne's frozen hand, tapped it, and said.

“I'm reading a naming book starting today.”

Elisha, walking lightly, was soon caught up by Lucerne. He hugged Elisha and said.

“A woman like you really makes people go crazy.”

“Is that so? It's a different reaction than I thought.”

Lucerne caught her breath. And she whispered

“I love you, really. Severely.”

And Lucerne has become a lot more honest. Besides, she was not afraid of Elisha because she was familiar with his obsession.

There were times when I even thought that maybe this might be the maximum of this person's love, and I laughed.

'Can I feel happy at this moment?'

Elisha laughed. She even thought that maybe this could be happiness. Can emotional exchanges that were painful before feel this way? However, now everything will be really different.

Elisha gently caressed her stomach.

*​ *​ *​

And every day passed peacefully.
