Chapter 8: 8
That was Rurutia’s last meeting with Gust .
A few days later, Gust stood trial in court . He was indicted of crimes over inflicting excessive abuse on the princess of the class .
Gael said that he cried every night, thinking of his daughter . He also claimed that Gust had attacked him when he stood in front of his daughter’s attacker .
The judge sided with Gael .
Gust was to be hanged .
Gael said he couldn’t kill the vassal and ended up exiling him from the empire .
The audience was moved, saying he had a merciful heart .
Gael, who took over the place of the ‘successful top-lord,’ worked with the new system and saved the cost of materials to achieve even greater results .
The competitiveness of the Top of Bruque turned the line into one geared toward a quality product, not the packaging, under Gael’s stewardship .
When Rurutia found out the truth, everything was over .
She was alone again, but luckily she had in her schedule several new meetings . But the miraculous new connections didn’t last long .
“I lost my life partner because of you . You should be alone just the same!”
Anyone who opened up to Rurutia faced a miserable end due to Gael’s harassment . When the same thing happened several times, everyone who worked in the mansion became reluctant to approach Rurutia .
Fortunately, Sui, a maid, was left with Rurutia, but Rurutia couldn’t open her heart completely .
If I get any closer, my father will hurt Sui .
Rurutia was left all alone with her thoughts and emotions .

A week before the wedding, there was to be a reception at the Duke of Brucke’s mansion .

Rurutia, sitting in front of Gael, bowed her head like a sinner .
“You’ll need a lot of food in order to prepare for the ceremony . You must marry Count Hyde, who has a large farm . ”
Rurutia read the marriage declaration Gael handed over . The marriage partner was to be Count Hyde, who had in his possession many acres of farmland .
Unlike Rurutia, who was just around the age of the coming-of-age ceremony, Count Hyde was in his late 40s .
The conditioning class that Rurutia had to attend was not bad, but the age difference proved to be too much .
Gael unilaterally informed her without asking her opinion that the decision had been made .
“I’m done preparing for the wedding and we’re going to have a huge feast in a few days . ”
She knew this day would come .

She knew she would be the wife of an unwanted man, but wasn’t a man as old as his father too much?
“Father . Count Hyde is too old…”
As if there was no need to listen, Gael hastily cut off her words .
“About thirty years older than you . So what’s the problem?”
Sitting across from him, Rurutia grabbed her skirt tightly .
It was clear that accepting this marriage would lead to sudden death and not without great pain .
It wasn’t simply because she would become the wife of an old count . When she experimented a long time ago, she often came across strange dreams .
Rurutia, lying on a white bed, was reading a book in her room with a bottle of water next to her .
Every time she dreamed the same dream, her memories became clearer, and recently she learned that it was a past life .

She, in her previous lives, was also limited in time as she was now .
In her last life, she was a part of a love story .
The love story of the prince and his maid in the whirlpool of the imperial throne .
In it, Rurutia appeared and the story unfolded before her . The story didn’t have a happy ending, but soon another vision unfolded . In this version, she saw her future .
In it, Count Hyde couldn’t believe his misfortune when he heard that Rurutia didn’t have long to live .
“What? You’ll die when you’re 20?”
Gael gave his blessings for Rurutia to marry Hyde, all the while hiding her psychic abilities from Hyde . Count Hyde was furious when he learned the truth .
“I have only two years left! Can I have children in it?”
Count Hyde became very angry saying he had been scammed, then sent for wine .
Rurutia, who drank the wine he received as a gift, vomited blood .
