Wow. I’m really enjoying my eyes today. When I’m at home, I only see my older brother peanut Alexid. What happened so I was getting stuck between Gerald and the Crown Prince? Is this a gift from my dad? I’m sure they’re both great beauties, no matter what they feel.

“What about the Crown Prince?”

“You told me to bring up good memories, so I should. All right.”

“Now, never regret it!” I cried confidently.

I was supposed to make money today. But… But, I lost five games. I was the one who was robbed. Just like that one time.

* * *

“What? You two seem to be playing cards all day long.”

“That’s not true. Didn’t you think that lady is particularly bad at it?” The crown prince rubbed salt on my wound.

The card game was won by the Crown Prince three times and Gerald won two times.

Gerald said with a grin, “Lulu, you’ve been really bad at card games since you were young.”

“There were times when I beat you!” I cried out in a fit of rage.

“I just gave you the win you wanted,” Gerald said as if it were natural.

Profit.

I shivered and put all the money I had on the board. “Let’s do it again!”

I’m gonna sweep you all off this time! I have to win this game!

The crown prince put all his money on the line as if he was having fun, playing along with me.

“Lulu, you won’t regret it, do you?”

“Sure. I’ll bet all of this, and we want to have one more wish.” Gerald’s blue eyes glistened.

“Okay! Money, plus one more wish!”

“Then, for the wish. My lady. A necklace.”

“What?”

“Whichever of us wins, we will give a necklace as a gift. The lady will have to wear it.”

“What if I win?”

“You can keep the idea of you wearing the necklace coming only from the person you love.”

“Well, then, I must win!”

Gerald glanced at the crown prince. His facial expression was not so good. Now, I’m going to pour my soul into this! And I won’t ever lose both soul and romance. The crown prince teased me for falling on several points on the cardboard.

“You were so confident”

“Urgh, the whole universe is not helping me!”

How can I be so disastrous without it? I can’t believe I can’t win a single game after six rounds!

It was clear that God was playing tricks.

The winner of this round is…

It was Gerald.

Gerald looked strange. He also seemed like he wanted to cry. That’s strange. Was it because of the sunlight?

“Accept the result, my lady,” the Crown Prince said.

“I’m an innocent fighter who always accepts the result.” I heaved a sigh.

“I’ve already spent all my money… Well, a wish and a necklace, right?” I stared at Gerald. I wondered if I’d end up wearing the necklace Gerald gave me around my neck.

Gerald called me in a low voice. “Lulu.”

Strangely, I couldn’t take my eyes off Gerald. I wondered what Gerald would wish for.

“Don’t cry.”

What? Now…

“Don’t cry, please.”

The edge of his lips was curled up in a small way. Gerald whispered again and again. “Don’t be sick…”

I am now sure. Gerald remembers the past. He was my husband, who put me in heaven and put me in the abyss. I was out of breath. Confidence raged through me. Gerald held hands with me as if he wanted my answer, and slowly clasped my fingers. The crown prince was watching it with his own eyes. Gerald kissed my fingertips lightly. Gerald took another step beyond the line, which he had never crossed before. He was a man of impatience.

Oh. At this moment, I cleverly realized why Gerald was nagging me like this. Jealousy. This was obviously jealousy. He was anxious to reveal his relationship with me in front of the Crown Prince. Gerald doesn’t want me to get close to another man. This was…

It was easy?

I felt like I was going to laugh.

What used to be difficult for me back then, seemed to be so easy. I had to beg and plead in my previous life but now, it has been accomplished too easily.

Gerald. You’re crazy. What should I do with you?

“Yes.”

Gerald’s eyes shone at my answer. It wasn’t because of the sun. Gerald was shining with a strong desire for me, jealousy, and affection.

The mealtime was quiet.

It was because my father was sick. The atmosphere that had been pleasant until a while ago has disappeared. The meal continued with a quiet atmosphere.

Alexid was sitting next to the crown prince with a pale face. What the hell has he been doing?
