Chapter 4
Iellie made a lot of impressions. Warmth spread from the girl’s tiny hands, warming his whole body in no time.
This was like the first time he ever felt such warmth, so Zachary slowly blinked his eyes.
‘Weird.’
The tension that had dominated his whole body all throughout was gradually melting. It was the first time he felt a peace of mind.
“Hey, wait a minute…?!”
Iellie raised her voice and called him. It was a voice mixed with embarrassment. Zachary energized his eyes closed and opened them. Through the blurry vision, he saw the light green eyes full of worries. He became a little curious.
‘Is she worried about me?’
A spiky, fine crack broke over his frozen heart. As his mind relaxed, in no time, his whole body became heavier like wet cotton. ‘No, I don’t want to lose my mind right now.’ He thought blankly.
‘No, I shouldn’t let go of my mind easily.’
Zachary tried to regain his grip again. So far, everyone has been like that. They approached him because of his position, his appearance, then quickly despised him. No one remained with the boy.
“What are you?”
Zachary asked back with a cold attitude. He said to the girl, who opened her eyes wide.
“You don’t even know who I am, don’t you?”
Seeing him that way, Iellie felt a strange impression. He was just a little kid who has been hurt for so long that he couldn’t trust anyone. ‘He wasn’t the little child I imagined.’ She sighed.
“I know a few things.”
“Don’t talk to me!”
He was in a rage. She folded her arms and stared straight at Zachary. Then, answered him with a look.
“You’re a child who needs to be cared for.”
“What?”
He was surprised by her answer. Iellie lightly shrugged her shoulders. “And a child who needs treatment right away because his wound is so severe.”
“What is that…!”
“Oh, you’re also a child with a twisted personality.”
Hearing a casual dismissing voice, Zachary was speechless. She then smiled lightly.
“And I have been very clear about this.”
“What, what?”
“You, in my eyes, are never a monster.”
At those words, he felt feelings of unknown names soaring. Zachary still wasn’t sure if her words were sincere or not, though he secretly and earnestly hoped that they were. He chewed on his lips. ‘I wonder if you really don’t think of me as a monster.’
Slowly he was relieved from the tension, Zachary exhaled a long breath. Startled, Iellie yelled his name.
“Hey, Zachary?!”
In order to wake him up, she once again grabbed his shoulder and shook him harshly. But that wasn’t enough to wake him up.
Her voice gradually faded away. His vision was darkened and with only a little warmth remained, Zachary lost his mind to the dark.
***
Zachary stood blankly. He was not alone. Thousands of people were staring at him.
‘I died because of you.’
His mother, who had died a long time ago, stepped in front of him. On her beautiful face, only hatred overflowed.
‘You are a monster that devours even your mother. ‘
Said the Duke. The deep blue eyes staring at him flashed like a beast with gazes that filled with hatred.
‘The Duke’s wife, too, died because of the Heir Apparent.’
Numerous shadows murmured. Each person’s hostility piled up and strangled Zachary.
The boy faltered back. One step, two steps. He stepped back and found himself running with all his might.
His breath filled his chin, and the taste of blood rose from the tip of his tongue. Zachary closed his eyes tightly.
‘No!’
What the hell am I supposed to do? Running away, the boy was in despair every second. From birth, he was born a monster. He tried his best to be loved, but nothing changed. If this were the case, he would have been better off not being born. Would it be a little more comfortable and better when he died, when he was obsessed with twisted desires?
‘You’re not a monster.’
A sorrowful voice lifted Zachary out of despair. The girl who resembled a pale pink Asha flower looked back at him. Under the pink hair, which was fragrant like petals, light green eyes sparkled.
“Ah, this eyesore. You have to take medicine, so can you open your eyes now?”
“Ugh!”
Zachary raised his eyes. His breath burst as if he was trapped in cold water and just got out. The boy who got up quickly breathed rapidly. Iellie, looking at him gasping, seemed a little surprised.
“What, what. Did I wake you up too harshly?”
‘Well, perhaps the truth was too much?’ As she rolled her pale green eyes, she shrugged her shoulders.
What can she say? She was stuck by his side all day and cared for him, so she could complain this much, couldn’t she?
“…You.”
Zachary, who opened his lips, suddenly stopped. His lips were dry. After listening to the boy’s voice, Iellie narrowed her eyes. She put a glass full of cold water over his lips.
“Come on, drink water.”
“…”
He took the glass from her hand. Seeing so, she pouted her lips and grumbled.
“I’ve shown you the most kindness, don’t be so feisty.”
When the cold water passed over his throat, it felt as if he was alive again. The boy, who drank all the water, sighed.
“Have you gotten a hold of yourself now?”
Iellie, who took the glass cup, poured water once again. She took a round pill and handed it in front of him.
“Then, take medicine now.”
“…Medicine?”
“Yes, medicine. Why, can’t you eat bitter things?”
“…”
He rolled his eyes. Zachary had lived in an indifference mixed with hatred, so it was difficult for him to adjust to care and kindness.
“You’re more like a baby than you looked.”
She laughed and made fun of him. The sprout-like eyes look at him softly. The moment he saw that smile, Zachary was at a loss for word.
“Do I have to put the medicine in your mouth?”
“…Enough.”
Zachary, crumpling his eyebrows, took the pills from her hand. When he gulped the water and pills together, the bitter taste remained on the tip of his tongue. After he was done, Iellie scooped a candy into his mouth as she had been waiting.
“Come on, candy.”
“…”
The sweet orange scent filled his mouth. Zachary carefully rolled the candy in his mouth. The candy was too sweet, like Iellie’s warmth and care that he first tasted. He thought so blankly.
‘…I fainted in front of other people.’
He knew that he couldn’t lean on anyone, so Zachary had been holding on until now. Strangely, however, when he was next to that girl, his alertness kept breaking down. He asked a question.
“But, why are you here?”
“You told me not to call other people, so I stayed.”
He crumpled his eyebrows as if he had heard strange words. At the moment, Zachary made a stunned expression. Come to think of it, it seemed like he was saying that before fainting. Such an embarrassment!
Iellie, glancing at him, who had a bewildered look, shook her hand roughly. She continued.
“How can I leave the patient alone?”
“What?”
“I called the doctor, but he told me to leave as soon as the treatment was over.” She gazed at the boy up and down with her arms folded, then she proudly declared.
“I mean, I was in charge of your care.”
“No one told you to care…”
“Your personality is so twisted. Can’t you just say thank you?”
“…”
Zachary became dazed at the moment. ‘I see. In this situation, you can just say thank you.’ It was the goodwill of others, and it was also a favor given to him, so it felt like a glimpse into something completely different.
“Okay, thank you. Can you leave me now?”
Being next to a monster would be unpleasant in many ways. Swallowing his words, he glanced at her. However, after hearing those words, Iellie seemed very depressed. She replied.
“I don’t want to. What is wrong with you?”
“…Don’t you hate being by my side?”
As such, he reflexively looked at Iellie’s eyes. She raised her eyes narrowly.
“No, rather, it’s better to stick with you.”
“Why?”
“That way, you will get well sooner.”
“Why would it matter to you if I’m completely recovered?”
At the moment, her light green eyes that were staring at Zachary drew a fine line. “Because you’re the one who will ensure my future safe life.”
He was silent. Iellie, who sat next to him, raised her index finger and explained.
“You’re my legal husband, right?”
“That’s…well.”
Zachary blindly blinked his eyes. Come to think of it, it seemed like the Duke, who was his father, had said it in a brush. One of the girls will come as his wife for a stable relationship with the royal family. In fact, he had no idea about this. Until now, his life had been acting on behalf of the will of a duke.
“Anyway, I got married instead of the princess from the royal family, and there is nowhere for me to go.”
The girl before his eyes explained her own position in a loud voice again. Her light green eyes glowed vividly.
She was completely different from him, who didn’t know where to stand, shaking.
“Also, the Duke doesn’t like me very much because I came from the royal palace.”
He nodded his head. The Duke viewed anything entangled with his son negatively.
Besides, that child was sent from the royal family who had a bad relationship with the duke. Still, it was amazing that she did not shrink at all.
“If something happens to you, or if I get divorced…”
She trembled all over as if she had a terrible imagination. Then, Iellie becomes completely isolated. If she compared it to a proverb of her previous life, she was to be separated from the herd, she was left alone.
“In conclusion, there is no one in the Duke’s Castle who will stand by my side other than you.”
She said confidently. With her little hand clenched, she turned around and faced Zachary.
“I’ll do my best to be by your side…because you’re the one I need.”
“…You need me?”
“Of course. You will also need me.”
Iellie, who said with confidence, smiled broadly. It seemed that the girl in front of him was twinkling, and Zachary couldn’t take his eyes off her.
‘You are not a monster, but someone I need.’ Her words were slowly melting into his frozen heart.
At that time, she peered straight at him.
“Anyway, because you’re an essential person for me. Don’t demean yourself in the future.”
“…Demean myself?”
“Saying that you’re pressured, guilty or that you’re a monster.”
“…” He blinked his eyes as he tried to understand her words.
“Understand?”
Iellie asked with strength. The light green eyes looking at him were so serious, Zachary nodded his head in a hurry.
After seeing him agreeing, she had a satisfied expression and patted him on the shoulder.
“Then, let’s take a rest today, and I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow…”
Hearing so, he opened his eyes wide. It was bizarre that there would be someone who promised to do things with him next time.
“…Will you come back tomorrow?”
“Of course. Anyway, we are a legal couple and allies of the duke’s castle.
“…”
Finishing her words, Iellie smiled with her eyes while waving her hand, then slowly closed the door.
Thud. The sound of the door closing could be heard. Zachary’s expression, who had been awkwardly hardened in his seat, quickly collapsed.
“…Iellie Blanchett.”
