My Fiance Is The 2nd Male Lead
Funeral

It had been a week since Suiren had avoided meeting with Kyrie. On the other hand, Kyrie also kept her promise by giving Suiren space to think. During this one week, Suiren spent her breakfast and dinner in her bedroom.

He himself did not know why he had avoided Kyrie so blatantly like this. However, he cannot say if he is in love with Kyrie or not. He could not read his own feelings. Therefore, in accordance with his promise with Satia one week ago, today he awaits the arrival of Satia in their favorite cafe.

It had been twenty minutes for Suiren to wait, but Satia did not show her nose at all.

Suiren cut the vanilla cake in front of him with a small fork and fed it to his mouth.

TING! The sound of the bell above the entrance of the cafe made Suiren feel enthusiastic.

But the figure that entered the cafe door was not a long brunette figure, but a figure dressed in a white uniform. Sergei.

“Lady Suiren..” Her face looks worried as if she has just received bad news.

“What's up, Sergei?” ask Suiren.

“It looks like you should see this.” His face looks gloomy.

After that the two walked out of the cafe towards an alley located next to the bookstore where they first met Satia. The crowd filled the alley, making Suiren troubled to see what was going on there.

Sergei walked in front of Suiren and opened the crowd. With Sergei present, the crowd split into two halves. Suiren walked behind Sergei.

What awaited him in front of him was never imagined at all.

“Ti..a?” Suiren whispered.

A girl was lying lifeless on the road. Her light blue dress that was supposed to look clean otherwise looked dirty. The girl did not close her eyes, but she did not respond at all. Her pretty green eyes did not describe any signs of life at all. There is a former purplish-blue circle around her tiny neck.

Suiren felt his legs weaken, before he could fall down Sergei rubbed his body. He looked at Sergei with a look of horror on his face. Sergei looked at him with a pitying look.

Suddenly a horde of men in white uniforms with insignia signifying that they were Knights guarding Birmin Town dispersed the crowd. Suiren who was still wavering because of what he witnessed just now just followed Sergei's lead to leave the crowd.

“Sergei... is the girl really Tia?” Suiren asked with a trembling voice. His hands and feet were shaking.

Sergei did not answer Suiren but his gaze said that what Suiren said was true.

“It is better for now that we return to the Wisteria residence, Lady Suiren.” Sergei. He took Suiren to his chariot and then brought him back to the Wisteria residence.

Inside the car Suiren just stared into the void. His eyes clearly described that he was extraordinarily shocked by the events that had just happened.

***

Two days after the incident, Kyrie and Suiren attend Tia's funeral. Iris's residence was filled with the sound of sobs and heavy air. But when Kyrie and Suiren entered the residence, everyone's attention was on them. Everyone saluted and bowed. Some were heard whispering about Suiren.

‘Is that Duke Wisteria's fiancee?’

‘She looks different from the picture.’

Kyrie glanced at Suiren who seemed to have no spirit of life. Suiren's eyes look puffy and her nose looks red.

Kyrie grabbed Suiren's hand and grabbed it.

“Are you sure you're okay?” ask Kyrie.

Suiren nodded. He did not remove Kyrie's hand from her hand.

The two walked towards the open chest. Satia looks like she's asleep. Her hands hold iris flowers and her face looks beautiful. Anyone who drenches it has done a very good job. The dress that Satia wore covered her body up to the neck, but Suiren seemed to still see the bruises on her neck.

Suiren placed the white Rose flower inside the crate and paid her last respects.

“Padahan he has promised to introduce me to his lover someday.” Suiren Mumbled.

“His love?” ask Kyrie.

Suiren nodded.

“Lady Iris shouldn't have a lover. He doesn't even have a fiance.”

Suiren rolled her eyes. “I don't want to explain it to you.”

“Sit here first, I have to say hello to Lady Iris's parents.” Kyrie.

Suiren did not reply. His eyes were still attached to the chest where Satia's body was buried. She remembers Tia's laughter and smiles every time they talk about their favorite book. How Tia would listen to Suiren enthusiastically while recounting the first volume of their favorite novel.

“Haaa..” Suiren took a deep breath. He stared at the floor and swung his feet.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared before him.

“After you return.” Said Suiren while raising his face. But the figure before him was not Kyrie Wisteria. Rather the figure of a red-haired man with golden eyeballs looking at him amiably.

“Can I sit next to you?” ask the man.

Suiren nodded and shifted his body slightly.

The two of them just sat side by side without saying anything. Suiren was also in no mood to start the conversation.

“I Naois Dianthus.” The man extended his hand to Suiren.

“Suiren Themisree.” Reply Suiren. Although the man who was inviting her to meet had a very handsome face, he still felt uninspired.

“Do you know Lady Iris? You look very sad.” ask.

“I knew him not too long ago.”.

“It is very sad what happened to him. Really, lately Birmin has become a very insecure city.”

Suiren did not reply. He leaned his body against the wall and let out a long sigh.

He smelled a familiar scent as he took a deep breath.

‘I know this scent..’

“Sir Dianthus, sorry if my question sounds strange. But do you have a relationship with Lady Iris?” Suiren asked.

Naoist gave Suiren a puzzled look. “Hmm..., My parents are business associates of Lady Iris's parents. So it seems, yes, I have a relationship with the late Lady Iris.”

“A-ah.. so apparently.” Suiren nodded his head.

“Suiren.” Kyrie called out to him while walking over to him.

As Kyrie walked over, the Naoist immediately got up from his seat and bowed in salute to the Duke.

“Duke Wisteria, it's an honor to meet you.” Her speech.

“Sir Dianthus's. You look better since the last time we met.” Reply Kyrie.

Naois scratched his head and looked at Kyrie with an awkward look. “Ahahaha, forgive me at that time Duke Wisteria. I'm not thinking clearly.”

“It looks like you have met my fiance.” Kyrie continued while extending a hand to Suiren.

Suiren grabbed Kyrie's hand and stood up from her seat.

“Of course, Duke Wisteria. Your fiance is a very handsome girl.” Answer Naoist.

Hearing that, Kyrie gave the Naois a sharp look.

“Ma-I mean..”.

“Come back, Suiren.” Without listening to the Naoist explanation, Kyrie walked away and led Suiren.

“You can at least wait for him to finish talking.”

“You're telling me to waste my precious time?” Reply Kyrie.

Suiren simply rolled his eyeballs. He was completely inexhaustible with this man's behavior.
