I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

Chapter 31

5. A Conflict Named Desire – 05

“It’s a garden I really like. really.”

Bianca held out her isom corn and lightly touched the hyacinth that was blooming on the flower bed. The hyacinth touched by Bianca’s flower buds burst with the fragrant scent of spring.

Indeed, it was a picture-like scene. It was a scene of a beautiful woman caressing a flower as if drawn in a painting, not knowing what to do. If a painter were to be seated in this place now, he would be frantically using his brush to capture this scene on canvas as if he had gone mad.

But at the same time, it was also a sight that did not inspire me at all. I never get over it easily. It’s true that that damn girl has a slightly smooth face, but didn’t I know from my own experience that the inside was uglier than anyone else’s?

That woman’s nature is that of a woman who, from childhood, had no qualms about committing the act of punching others.

“Cain. Didn’t you think you were being rude while looking at me?”

“…Well, I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”

When Bianca looked at me like a ghost and pointed out my inner feelings, I deliberately averted my gaze and pretended not to. She was a woman who had a knack for terrifying people even now.

“So you made a decision? Do you think I gave you enough time to think?”

“It is never difficult to make a decision. It just needs understanding.”

“understanding? understand what?

Bianca tilts her head at me and asks a question. When I saw her like that, I burst out laughing without even realizing it. Is that woman acting like me because she really doesn’t know anything, or is she acting like she knows what I’m talking about? Of course, the possibility of the latter is overwhelmingly high. Because she’s a f*cking woman who’s brains have gone bonkers because her smarts have gone too far.

“Yeah, I’m talking about understanding everything related to this situation. Like you said, I’m not that smart.”

“…..”

“No matter how much I think about it, it is not easy to understand. The fact that the Marquis of Castana is trying to donate an enormous amount of money equal to 20% of the net profit, and that it is trying to make a deal with an individual, not the Estel duchy, and also.”

“and?”

“All of you, who think that a transaction can be made between the Duke of Estel and the Marquis of Castana.”

Yes. No matter how much I thought about it, no matter what assumptions I made, it was not easy to draw a picture that the Marquis of Castana would give us such a ridiculous proposal.

It’s a thousand years. There is a saying that even mountains and rivers change in ten years, but a thousand years is an incredible amount of time. It has been a thousand years since the Duke of Estelle and the Marquis of Castana didn’t stop looking at each other and growling, but struggled to feed them taffy.

The emotional gap between them could not be filled in an instant, and the pride of each other was too strong for either side to extend a hand of reconciliation now. Perhaps, in order for a dramatic compromise to be made between the two families, I thought that the ship of those times that had burned hatred toward each other would have to flow. As much as that, the time when the two families hated each other was too long.

But do you think I’ll easily believe the sugar-coated talk about giving away part of the net profit for free? No, did he think that I was not an idiot and would readily believe in the story of a flower garden blooming with such a head?

“Bianca, I don’t want you to come all the way here and measure each other. you won it’s your victory I won’t deny that accepting your offer is the best option for the duke of Estelle, who is in dire need, no, for me, who has to lead the dukedom in the future. It is a fact that I know very well that it is best to accept and eat the blind money without thinking.”

“…..”

“However, I hope you don’t think that I will nod softly to your suggestions. Although I like money, I would like to tell you that if you thought that I would sell the pride of the Duke of Estelle for money, you would be very mistaken.”

Before the return, the Duke of Estelle did not receive any hostile favors from the Marquis of Castana, and the two families went their separate ways. It can’t be said that it was a very comfortable life, but nevertheless, the Duke of Estelle managed to maintain a noble appearance without any major angular parts and ran well.

…Ten years later, the witch who brought winter to the entire continent and Bianca in front of her now destroyed the entire Duchy of Estel.

“So I want you to be as honest and clear as possible. Because I don’t have the confidence to engage in a fierce battle of brains with wizards. If you have nothing more to say to me, let’s end the story here.”

Saying that, I turned my back on Bianca without any hesitation. In fact, a neat attitude that doesn’t look foolish. But in reality, I was barely holding back the thumping of my heart. Resisting that woman with force would have been one of the most foolish things in the world.

It was then.

“Hey, Cain. Aren’t you standing there right now? Who wants to run away during the conversation?”

tall-

As soon as I heard Bianca’s barbed words, my body got out of my control and stopped in place. It must have been the aftereffects of living as a slave under Bianca for the past year.

‘…shit.’
