My Fiance Is The 2nd Male Lead
The General's secret

Today was a tough day for General Themisree. First, a letter from the imperial family came and informed her that her daughter, Suiren, was to be one of the candidates for the imperial Crown Princess. Then as if the first one had not made himself dizzy, Duke Kyrie Wisteria from the northern region of the empire came and acted as if he knew everything.

“Everybody leave this room.” He ordered all the servants to leave his living room. Because he had a feeling that what his daughter was going to say was not something that just anyone could hear.

After everyone left the room, Suiren then started telling stories. He could not believe that he had to tell her this secret just because Kyrie Wisteria told him to do it.

“There's something I haven't told anyone, Dad.” Initial. “Related to the day I drowned in the lake.”

General Themisree listened carefully.

“That day I wasn't slipping.” Stirrup. “I felt someone pushing me from behind and suddenly I was already inside the lake.”

His daughter's story made her hair stand up.

“Are you sure someone pushed you? Is that not just your feeling?”

“To be honest I wish it was just my feeling, but I can still feel the urge on my back to this day.”

All began to merge like little puzzle pieces and slowly General Themisree could see the whole picture before him. Why her daughter was able to make the list of Crown Princess candidates even though she was not a noble family and why Kyrie Wisteria said that there was another reason when her daughter entered the list of Crown Princess candidates. Everything becomes clear.

And he doesn't like the direction of this clarity.

“But I don't think there's anything to do between my drowning in the lake and my inclusion on the Crown Princess's list of candidates, Father.” Suiren quickly tried to straighten out this misunderstanding. “I think it's just Duke Wisteria's wits to get his wish.”

Even so, Suiren actually did not understand the purpose of Kyrie doing all these things.

General Themsiree did not hear his daughter's words just now. He was too late in his mind.

'How much does the imperial family already know?' Her thought.

He could not afford to lose someone he loved and loved to the imperial family again.

“One thing I know for sure, General Themisree. That the Imperial Family did not include Lady Suiren in the list of Crown Princess candidates to compete as Crown Princess.” The Themisree general continued to ring with the words of Duke Wisteria earlier. If it was true what Suiren said, it meant that what Duke Wisteria said was also true.

'Until where does Duke Wisteria know about the things I've been shutting down?' picrinya.

“-yah?”

Suiren broke his concentration.

General Themisree just nodded his head even though in his heart he knew that nothing was okay. He then stroked the princess's head just like that.

“Suiren, for some time in the future do according to what I told you. Don't ask anything.” His sky blue eyes that looked worried looked at Suiren's golden eyes that were filled with confusion.

General Themisree then rushed towards his study.

It seemed, for now he had to extend his hand to the help provided by Duke Wisteria.

***

Suiren Themisree was nothing like what he had imagined. In fact, he was very different from what he heard. His first meeting with Suiren Themisree today dismissed the rumors. His aura and way of carrying himself was not as rumored.

At least the rumors about her beauty did not lie.

“Does the negotiation go smoothly, Duke?” ask Harry from the other side of the carriage. Kyrie has not been able to answer that question, but she is sure General Themisree will not stay silent after learning that his daughter drowned due to an attempted murder.

“This is the first time you've given me inaccurate information, Harry.” Kyrie said as she looked at her personal servant sharply.

Harry scrunched his forehead. “What information?”

“Suiren Themisree may not be like the rumors circulating.” Reply Kyrie.

“You mean?”

Kyrie did not answer further because she had only met him once. Actually twice, but meeting when Suiren fainted from drowning does not count.

“I'll stay in the Capital for a while.” He crossed his legs and faced out the window. It has a halfway house in the Capital, and the distance between the eastern region and the Capital is not far. Before becoming its own territory, the Eastern Region entered into the territory of the Imperial Capital.

Suddenly, he felt something warm flowing from his nose.

“Duke Wisteria, your nose is bleeding!” squealing Harry. He sounds very worried.

Kyrie quickly retrieves a handkerchief from behind her pocket and wipes the fresh blood flowing from her nose. This is not the first time he has had a nosebleed and this will not be the last time either. He had to get used to his body from now on.

Because this was the price he paid when he decided to save the one he loved.
