It is the truth that must be revealed (anyway).

If you procrastinate and postpone, time will shut his mouth again. Seidricks lips trembled.

Hmm? What do you mean?

A smiling face that resembled the sunlight He wanted to protect that smile and face, but today, that doesnt seem to be the case.

Like Clemore in Alyssas novel, she couldnt even trust her lifelong friend

Seidrick took a deep breath.

His heart was pounding.

Im not Sid, Lisa.

Then?

Alyssa stretches out her hand towards Seidrick as if he was strange. Alyssa held his arm and tilted her head. The innocence had to be ruined by Seidrick with his own hands. It was so painful that his mouth wouldnt open.

I am

I am?

I am your husband.

Hmm?

I am the head of Cambridge here, and your husband Seidrick Cambridge.

Alyssas lips were trembling. She didnt seem to believe the authenticity of what she had heard. The purple eyes, which had grown so large that they couldnt get any bigger, were fluttering in the light.

I

Dont tell me. Wait. Just a moment.

Alyssa raised her hand to stop Seidrick. She doesnt understand what hes talking about. Her head was dizzy. Husband?

Sid, the husband shes never seen before?

Alyssas lips parted like a flower bud.

Seidrick Cambridge?

Its not that she didnt hear what he had to say. She doesnt want it; she just wants to pretend she didnt listen to it. However, the distance between Seidrick and Alyssa was so close, and his low voice was unmistakable.

It is not that there were no circumstances to doubt Sids existence.

The whereabouts of Sid, the gardener, were unclear, and he was absent similarly to Seidrick, whom she could only meet when he returned to the mansion.

That day, it was raining.

The wonder at that time when they faced each other through the rain, why now Alyssa swallowed hot saliva. Yes. The two were the same person.

She must have thought she had seen that face somewhere.

However, her time with Sid was so sweet that she didnt want to doubt it. The moment she doubts it, everything will be shattered.

It felt like she was standing tall on the ground as fragile as glass.

The time she spent with Sid was happy and precious, but she was always anxious. If he really was just a gardener, its Sid, not Alyssa, who will get kicked out when their relationship is found out. She did not want him to suffer such injustice.

Alyssa enjoys many things as a privileged class, and in return, has pushed many people into injustice. Isnt the biggest victim Kendrick Cambridge? She didnt want to do that anymore.

So she didnt go into detail about Sid.

Obviously, if Alyssa wanted, she could somehow find out about Sid the gardener, but she just pretends she doesnt know.

Alyssa was careful, lest she mentioned his name carelessly and harmed him.

For Alyssa, Sid the gardener was her only friend, support, and the person she wanted to protect.

Cant do that to me.

Alyssa took a step back.

Her kindness and favor were always betrayed. People made the things Alyssa did wholeheartedly trivial ones.

So this time, it was no different.

The three years of being deceived are upsetting, unfair, and sad.

Not even a day or two.

Thump, thump

But she doesnt know why her heart is beating so anxiously like this. Why

Dont cry, Alyssa.

She doesnt know why she was crying.

Alyssa sat down on the floor, crying. Her legs became weak, and she could no longer stand.

Alyssa!

Huu

Her cry broke out. Beneath her crumbling feet was a monster named Despair, with its mouth open, waiting for Alyssa to fall.

Alyssa slowly fell under it.

Its all my fault. I

Seidrick followed Alyssa and sat down. Seidrick, who was on his knees, stretched out his hand to her and withdrew it again. With a face that doesnt know what to do. As Alyssa fell, so did Seidrick.

He hoped she didnt know until the end. No, its contradictory, but at the same time, he wanted her to notice quickly.

Three years.

It was long and short at the same time.

It wasnt that Seidrick was hiding it with all his might, and it was a sloppy camouflage. Still, Alyssa never once doubted him. She believed all of Sid the gardeners flustered rumblings. She was so desperate and lonely.

Knowing that Alyssas heart was that bad, she might not have been able to say more.

After walking through Kendricks shadow, Alyssa was clearly visible.

She always stayed where she was. Unchanged

Its Seidrick who scraped and hurt Alyssa.

Alyssa silently shed tears.

Alyssa please

No feelings can be read from her anymore. Seidricks hand touched Alyssas shoulder and then fell. He jumped up and then sat back down. However, he didnt know how to appease Alyssa.

How should he apologize?

Hed rather she curse. If not, he wished she would have spit out accusations and screamed. But Alyssa didnt do anything and was festering inside her heart.

Crouching as hard as an egg.

Dont cry

Please, Alyssa.

Alyssa exhaled slowly.

Her head was numb, and tears continued to flow. She doesnt even know what shes thinking. She just wanted to disappear from here. No, she wanted to disappear from this world. Sid was a tree firmly rooted in Alyssas heart.

It might have been better if it had been trampled on like this when it was just a sprout in the first place. But he grew and grew his trunk like a tree, destroying the whole world that supported Alyssa.

She cant breathe.

Worse than the three years of being deceived, Sid is no more. If so, who has Alyssa been worried about, thinking about, and liking? Lost in her mind, she couldnt figure out where to turn now.

She lost Sid.

And.

She lost her one and only love.

No matter how much they are the same person, Seidrick Cambridge and Sid the gardener were different.

So Alyssa couldnt stand it any longer.

Alyssa willingly threw herself into the darkness devouring her.

When she opens her eyes, she wishes this hell would end. Shed rather be dead.

Alyssa closed her eyes.

* * *

At one point, Alyssa collapses, the startled Seidrick picks her up. He ran and ran, carrying her body that was stiff and unable to breathe properly. Seidrick breathed out.

Because they were in a pretty deep garden, the long road felt like a penance road. It was like an eternity.

Even when this road was over, it seemed that Alyssa would not be able to return, and it appeared that she would face a disastrous end.

Dont do that.

Seidrick doesnt want anything. Just

I want you to be happy.

Not to say as the one who ruined Alyssas little happiness, but he wants her to be happy.

And really, if Alyssa happens to forgive him if she turns around just once

If it happens like a miracle

But it was the greatest selfishness that Seidrick could dream of.

It was the arrogant Seidricks misunderstanding that there would be another chance. He realized it when he saw Alyssa, who was crying without making a sound, what he had just broken.

At that time, he couldnt see it. Now he could see what he couldnt do, what he couldnt support. How desperately Alyssa came to Sid the gardener.

For Alyssa, that took great courage. All the time Seidrick didnt take care of Alyssa and ran for Cambridge; she was barely holding on to herself. Unlike Seidrick, who had abandoned Alyssa countless times and then recaptured her, she held onto him desperately the whole time.

gasp, gasp

The mansion was getting closer. The brightly lit mansion felt like a savior. Seidrick struggled, one step at a time.

Alyssas skinny wrists pierced her eyes.

what did I do.

Seidrick clapped his lips.

After Kendrick was separated from the two, everything became clear. Seidrick was destroying Alyssa.

The castle built up with lies in the first place is nothing but vanity that will soon collapse. He did not know the truth until now. The sense of loss he had learned from losing his father and losing Kendrick filled Seidrick with familiarity. He cant tell whose tears wetted his toes.

The sky did not cry, but the earth kept getting wet.

Seidrick took a breath.

Please

Seidrick took a strenuous and heavy step.

* * *

There was one thing that Seidrick had overlooked.

For the past three years, everything has collapsed, and he lived again, and he has endured it with all his might.

He overlooked himself.

Kendrick disappeared, and he supported and held on to this huge house. Bringing Kendrick back was like breaking Seidricks ban.

The things he had forgotten were overflowing as if water flooded from a collapsed dam was hitting him.

Seidrick, who was running carrying Alyssa, stumbled.

Your Excellency!

Madam!!!

What in the world is this! Call the doctor!

Alyssa!!! Oh my God!!!

Ophelias cries soaked the mansion. Another tear was added to Cambridge, where the tears never dried up.
