… When he looks like that?
3. A Suspicious Shadow
Time flew by, whether I like it or not. Sometimes it surprised me. It felt like the vacations I had in my previous life. When I was in college we would have vacations right after midterms and before finals.
It has been 3 months since Knox came. If you asked me what happened during these 3 months, nothing much. It has wonderfully been tranquil.
The only problem was my sister. It would have been nice if she could get used to seeing Knox at night, but every night she still gets surprised…
Well, compared to the first time she seemed to have readily accepted it now.
Ah, come to think of it, there was one more problem. The fact that his cycle was now over. Knox’s curse manifests itself every 15 days. This meant for 15 days a month, he retains his original appearance.
Soon after his cycle ended, my sister found out that he could maintain his Grand Duke appearance during the day.
“I don’t know why this is happening. Why is he in the day…”
When she saw Knox’s Grand Duke form in the morning, she became very flustered.
“So, that’s the sun.”
“Knox… Have you never seen the sun before?”
“It’s not that I haven’t. It feels like I’ve seen it before I lost my memories. But after I lost them… this is the first time seeing it.”
“Ah…”
“I’ve seen it in my dreams.”
I will never forget the expression he had on his face when he looked at the sun.
But he soon got used to living in the day, calmly and collectedly. He acted no different from when he was at night.
“Uhm… I’m going to do the laundry?”
“And?”
“My waist, please…”1
… He was still chasing after me during the day.
Then, for the next 15 days he helped me with the chores in the appearance that I used to only see at night.
After 3 months my sister and I have gotten used to his transformations. My sister just seemed to think that he was a strange person but…
No. Being slow to the upkeep seemed to exactly match my sister’s personality.
“Among the hundreds and thousands of people to exist, don’t you think something like this is possible?”
She might have sounded cheerful when she said that but I knew better. She’s acting cheerful to hide the things she didn’t want to tell me. My sister was that kind of person. Of course, that doesn’t mean she was indifferent.
That was how my sister, who was a fugitive, and I could live here. This was a place where we could avoid people’s gaze. But the moment I heard that the Imperial Family was involved, I froze.
“I see.”
Trying not to show what I was thinking on my face, I quickly replied to my sister as naturally as possible.
“This is strange.”
I said before I imitated my sister and nodded my head too.
“But I can’t be sure just yet. It could just be because of a fire in the west.”
“… Yeah.”
Afterward, maybe because she was exhausted from all the running around, my sister fell into a deep sleep. Actually, the issue that my sister brought up earlier was in fact true and currently occurring. But instead of correcting her, I agreed that it could’ve just been a fire in the west.
After leaving the room, I leant against the door and let out a huge sigh.
“What’s going on?”
I raised my head and saw Knox. He had transformed into his Grand Duke form with the setting of the sun. He tilted his head.
“It’s nothing. It looks like my sister is very tired. I came outside just in case I was disturbing her.”
“I see.”
Knox outstretched his hand. Just as I was about to leave, he naturally grabbed my waist and stared down at me.
“Anyways, today’s the day you’re supposed to sleep with me.”
I was so surprised to see my sister back home earlier than usual. As I soon looked at what my sister was grabbing, my mouth turned agape.
“D-diana, what’s that…?”
“A man. It’s weird to say it out loud, but I picked him up in the forest.”+
My word. Why do you keep picking people up?
