“…”

Upon discovering Sarang sitting on the bed, Bailey was inwardly relieved, but he did not show it.

The doctor had expressed concern due to the considerable amount of sleeping pills he had taken yesterday. As if to mock that concern, Bailey confirmed Sarang looked healthy and took a step forward.

“Good morning, Mr. Kim.”

“…Yes, hello.”

“I am Bailey Jones. Please call me Jones.”

“Yes, Jones.”

“This is the residence of the House of Duke Dietrich. Do you remember what happened yesterday?”

Sarang, taking the glass of water Bailey offered, nodded his head.

“Yes, I remember.”

What he remembered clearly was up to the moment Florian opened the door to the bridal chamber and greeted him.

“It seems you took a sleeping pill yesterday.”

Sarang, who had taken a sip of water, raised his gaze. Meeting the large, clear black eyes, Bailey took a step back without realizing it.

What kind of eyes are those…

“A sleeping pill?”

“Yes, you didn’t know?”

He probably didn’t, but Bailey asked for confirmation and then looked away from the black eyes. It was a cliché expression, but they truly were eyes like a lake. Small ripples formed in those eyes.

“I don’t take things like medicine…”

“Did you drink water or anything else while you were being moved?”

“…Yes. Water.”

“It seems they mixed it into the water.”

Sarang, who was quietly looking up at Bailey, opened his full lips.

“Do you know what the ingredients were?”

To the question, so befitting a professional athlete, Bailey answered readily.

“It’s a narcotic sleeping pill, so it will show up on a doping test.”

Looking at Sarang, who had turned pale, Bailey added in a reassuring tone.

“Given the circumstances, it will be considered extenuating. It was not of your own will but forced upon you, and it was a one-time thing.”

Bailey feigned a slight tilt of his head and asked.

“Was it perhaps not a one-time thing?”

“Ah, no. I don’t even take painkillers often.”

“Then you should be fine.”

At the repeated gesture of encouragement, Sarang drained the water and returned the empty glass.

“The bathroom is over there. Would you like to have your meal in the room?”

Sarang, who understood that he was being told to wash up first and that it would be best to eat in his room, nodded his head.

“Yes.”

“You will be able to see the young master after your meal.”

Sarang, who could not understand a single thing from beginning to end, calmly acquiesced this time as well. Bailey, saying he would see him again in a little while, left the guest room.

Should I run away?

At the question that momentarily popped into his head, Sarang looked out the window and found his gaze stolen by the garden scenery that belatedly came into view. A mansion straight out of a movie or drama unfolded before his eyes. It wasn’t just similar. It was a place where actual filming had taken place.

This was… the Summer Palace. The palace that the first Duke Dietrich had built for his spouse. Because it had become synonymous with romance, it was a location often used as a symbol of romance in various media. The reason this deeply personal and symbolic space was opened to the public was out of a desire for the spouse he had loved to be remembered for a long time. So it really was him.

Florian Dietrich Wellington.

I didn’t see him wrong.

It’s strange.

From the transfer to the marriage, to the House of Duke Dietrich.

Strange and unimaginable events were crashing in like a tidal wave, to the point where it didn’t feel real at all. As if they had been waiting for the breakwater named Colin to disappear.

‘It seems they mixed it into the water.’

He must be talking about the men in sunglasses. Sarang had no intention of running away. He had nowhere to go, and even if he did, it would be impossible to escape Matthew Kaia’s influence, just as they had said. They must have known that well, so why did they d**g him with sleeping pills?

‘Why do you think a seventy-year-old man spent all that money to buy you?’

‘Did you think you would automatically get to stand on the pitch just by transferring?’

The more he recalled the memories, the more ominous it felt. Only the person had changed from Matthew Kaia to Florian Dietrich Wellington, but the situation was the same. Despite nothing having changed, Sarang couldn’t sit still any longer and got off the bed. He looked at the large, delicately crafted door and then started walking. He opened the door slightly. An incredible number of windows and a surprisingly wide and long corridor came into his dark eyes.

If I run that way, I think I’ll get lost.

Quietly closing the door, Sarang stood with his back against it. Directly in front, he saw a tall, wide window. Thanks to its frequent exposure in the media, the scenery outside looked familiar. Sarang walked over while gazing at the view, which was considered one of the most beautiful gardens in the Commonwealth. He opened the window and leaned against the frame.

The bedroom was on the second floor. It was about 3 meters to the flowerbed that encircled the first floor. The ceiling was higher than he thought. Fortunately, there was a place to put his feet. With the light movements of an athlete, he stepped on the railing wall, went down, and leaped off.

He landed safely without any injuries, but as luck would have it, the spot he landed in was the middle of a flowerbed. Bright red rose petals scattered into the air. One petal fluttered down and landed on his pale arm. A man who had been sitting by the window, reading a book, was looking at Sarang standing in the flowerbed.

“I didn’t foresee something like this when I had the thorns trimmed.”

The bright blond hair, blue eyes, and elegant, dignified atmosphere and demeanor strongly proclaimed the fact that he was the master of this Summer Palace, Florian Dietrich Wellington.

“I’m glad you don’t seem to be hurt, Sarang.”

“Hiccup.”

Florian, watching Sarang hiccup from the sheer shock, smiled faintly.

“The roses suit you very well.”

└ No, I’m telling you it’s real! The Moon published an article!!!!!!

└ The Moon? Isn’t that the original “wrecker” channel?

— No no, it’s on SsSs too.

— It’s been ages since SsSs became a wrecker channel.

— Bring a link if you’re going to talk. Don’t you think you’re being too harsh on a kid who isn’t even an adult?

— They said he was on the team’s bad side… so this is why.

— The club handled this well for once. I knew they wouldn’t bench him for no reason. Wow, seriously, it’s one thing to go to the Middle East for money, but to marry an old man? And the owner of a rival team at that? This promising kid threw all shame to the dogs. This is a national disgrace, a national disgrace lololol.

— OMG…….

— ……….

— Wow….

— You’re running out of things to criticize, so now you’re bashing him with gossip?

— It’s on BMC too.https://www.

└ If it’s even on BMC, then it’s confirmed, f**k lololol.

— Doesn’t the Commonwealth have child protection laws? It would be hilarious if Matthew Kaia got locked up for violating them lololol.

— Huh? They’re saying it’s not Matthew Kaia, it’s Florian!https://www. Florian Dietrich Wellington!

└ How old is he?

— Is Kim Sarang an old man killer?

— No, it says he’s a guardian, not married?

└ Who? Matthew Kaia?

└ Florian!

— Florian isn’t even thirty!

— Who the h**l is Florian???? Is he the owner of another team????

— Idiots, watch what you’re saying before you get sued.

— Here we go again, overreacting to gossip.

— ㅠㅠ

— Why does Kim Sarang have so many scandals ㅠㅠㅠ

— It’s a revolving door…

└ Calling it a revolving door over some gossip, give me a break.
