101 – Love is an open door (3)

“Do you know her?”

For Evan, for the first time in her life, she felt a greater embarrassment than ever.

If she was like usual, she would have just laughed off whatever she said. She

She was because this time she couldn’t figure out how to answer herself.

Irene’s eyes were getting colder. Autumn,

Although the weather was still unreasonable for her ice to freeze, Evan shivered as the cold gripped her whole body.

Her eyes are completely different from what I usually see.

Irene cut off Evan’s hand that was holding her own. She started knocking on her table quietly.

Tak, tak. As Evan silently gazes at it at her increasingly quickening fingers,

Irene let out her breath and glared at Evan.

She had never heard that she had a relationship with another woman. She

Did she hide it from herself, or did she have unavoidable circumstances.

Irene, who had a strong intuition that she had to point it out here, looked at Evan.

There was a woman named Scarlet in the family of Therazane.

She was about the same age as himself, and if Evan was willing to meet her, she probably wouldn’t have had too much trouble meeting him.

Evan had the ability to do that, and she’d easily get over it with any woman.

She did, but did she have a chance to meet a woman in the south who was completely separated from the north?

When she was young, there was an assumption that… But the Fried family was also a family located in the northern part of the empire.

As it is rare for South and North to interact without a gate in this large place,

It could be said that the possibility that Evan, who had come to Julis when she was young, met such a woman and made friends with her.

“…Irene, not really. I just knew that name.”

“How did you know?”

Evan, who pursed her lips at that cold reply, sighed and looked at the ground. She

If you ask how she knows, what does she say? Is this world actually fiction? She

She didn’t want to lie, but she felt that this time she couldn’t help it.

After hesitating for a while, Evan looked at Irene and quietly opened her mouth.

“I have heard of it before. It was a name occasionally mentioned by warlocks.”

It wasn’t completely false.

Actually, in the novels, warlocks used to refer to the family of Therazane.

No matter how twisted the plot may have been, even that would have changed.

Evan spoke as she met Irene’s eyes, and Irene saw her slack shoulders and realized that her heart was weakening.

…Maybe you know at least the name.

He was the one who always fought warlocks, so he was probably the most knowledgeable about this type of information.

Actually, it’s the sacrifice that Biltein told me about,

If you look at the information about things like the red moon, the black magicians gave it to you.

Evan didn’t think it was special even if he knew about it.

From noble mtl dot com

Shake shoulders. The dignified attitude up until now has completely disappeared,

She looked at a man who was looking at her, and Irene bit her lip lightly.

Maybe she questioned herself too coldly. She could have just asked softly,

Her eyes seemed to go white as she thought that she might get hurt and start to hate herself.

Could it be that he’s complaining about treating himself like he used to?

Maybe he’s saying we should break up later because he doesn’t like things like this,

Looking at the ring on his finger for a moment, Irene felt his spine stiffen and shook his shoulders.

Evan still looked at me and kept his head down.

“Sorry. Miss. I’ll just go.”

Having said that, Evan bowed her head and stood up from her seat.

Irene, immersed in her thoughts, grabbed Evan’s waist in surprise.

“Now, wait a minute. I’m not done talking yet.”

“……”

Evan was just uncomfortable in this place.

The same goes for Irene’s expressionless expression from earlier,

Couldn’t it be that she hastily brought up her story about Scarlett Terra Jane? She

She Still She’s too early to judge that Scarlett has something of hers.

Of course, it came as a surprise that she belonged to a family often mentioned in association with warlocks.

The case in which Therazane was mentioned in the original work was mainly because it was mentioned as one of the troublemakers who were hostile to it.

After looking at Irene for a while, Evan saw Irene’s cold expression and she lowered her head slightly.

“Do you believe me?”

“…I always believe in you. But, for a second, another woman’s name came up. I guess I lost my mind for a while. Sorry.”

“This is not something for you to apologize for.”

“You call me lady again.”

At Irene’s words, Evan stared at her for a moment, then she sighed and opened her mouth carefully.

“…Irene, I’m sorry.”

“I was just surprised. You can tell me some other girl’s name. But… I guess I was a little surprised, because this was the first time Evan said that.”

“I am just a person who knows your name.”

Irene looked at her Evan and then she smiled and took Evan’s hand.

Actually, she was just a little upset, but it wasn’t that Evan didn’t believe what she was saying.

Seeing Evan staring at her like this, Irene, who was wrapped up in her somewhat subtle emotions, finally opened her mouth slowly.

“I believe.”

It would be a lie if she said she didn’t doubt it, but Irene thought that even that momentary doubt was embarrassing.

What reason could she have to doubt Evan? Making her confess, putting her ring on,

She was the one who risked her life to save herself. She must be a fool herself for suspecting such a person.

However, if there is one thing to point out.

As Irene’s eyes widened again, Evan, who slightly trembled her shoulders, kissed her lips.

“Evan, I like whatever Evan does. I like holding her hand like this, being together like this…”

Irene looked at her Evan for a moment, then frowned. She could caress and understand everything,

Even so, there was one thing that was unacceptable. It may sound a bit nasty and shady, but

Irene did not have the slightest intention of yielding to this feeling.

“No other woman.”

As Irene’s grip on Evan’s hand grew stronger, Evan looked at Irene with a blank smile.

Somehow, it seems that his eyes are colder than before, maybe because of his mood.

“At the last concert, I saw Evan staring at other girls. She smiles, and does she even smile at some young lady?”

“…That is-“

“I’m not talking about that now. We weren’t even dating back then, so I’m not qualified to say anything. But from now on, it’s important, Evan.”

Evan tried to make excuses for what happened then, but

In the end, I couldn’t say anything at Irene’s determined tone.

Isn’t it just a gesture sent to Duke Roman? She eventually didn’t work and Irene was kidnapped, but

Evan finally shut up, regretting not explaining to Irene before.

“If Evan did that to another woman, I would…”

Irene’s eyes mixed with her anxious mind and began to tremble. She

She was the first person I gave my heart to, and the first person I turned to.

She said that most of her first experiences were with Evan,

Irene still cherished her memory of Evan’s death as a painful memory.

A fishy taste leaked from the bitten lips.

If you see Evan smiling with another woman.

A heavy breath escaped from Irene’s mouth as she closed her eyes for a moment.

Just imagining it made her heart ache. She didn’t even want to believe that such a reality existed,

She felt like she was about to burst out crying even though she knew it was just a delusion.

She could have called it a bit of a soggy feeling, but

Irene didn’t care that much. The present Evan was to himself,

Isn’t Evan’s heart also in me? She was just trying to keep it from changing.

Watching Irene’s face gradually distort, Evan reached out her hand and gently patted Irene’s back.

“How could that be?”

She usually pays attention to her gaze, but she felt that she deserved more attention.

Irene, who had her head down for a moment, stared at Evan as she patted her on the back.

She then grabbed her by the collar, pulled it straight, and whispered in Evan’s ear, who was right in front of her.

“…If you don’t want to see me go crazy, be a little careful. OK?”

“……”

The distance spread like that, but she was Irene, who smiled nonchalantly.

Evan, for the first time that day, felt that Irene was scary.

#

From that day on, Evan paid attention to every single thing she did.

As much as Irene is sensitive to things involving other women,

She was her handmaid, so she intentionally avoided her if she thought she had a crush on her.

Her incoming letters were fewer than before, but she still tried to make sure that she didn’t even get to herself by asking Lopena to do it.

No more letter burning in the garden,

Irene, who was anxious to hear her name Scarlett, also seemed to have forgotten about it. She

She actually remembered, but Irene didn’t show it off in front of Evan.

However, this relationship could not continue forever,

It was a big worry for her, Irene. She

She became a lover, but in fact, she is not different from before.

If you take a little more, one more step in this relationship.

“Hmm.”

Irene recalled her advice she had previously given by Lopena. Evan said not to worry about that, but

After all, she said that Irene was the only person who would come to her aid.

Irene’s face gradually turned red as she slowly recalled her memories, but

In the first place, she was Irene. In the room where she was alone, there was no one to care about such things.

Hand, caught. She hugged her, and her lips could do as little as a light kiss now…

But those things were done even before we officially dated, so

The fact that nothing had changed except for the ring on her finger in the end made her Irene impatient.

-Lady, you know what?

A conversation I had with Lopena a few days ago.

She said that love is like a door that has already been wide open, and that as long as they agree with each other, she will not feel awkward no matter what she does.

Irene’s cheeks turned red as she pondered on those words for a while, but

She was thinking about it quite positively.

How long will we just watch Evan, who is acting a little passively because of the last time?

“But…”

What should I do? For Irene, who didn’t know anything about that, she was just at a loss.

I just lie in bed and know that intercourse takes place between a man and a woman.

I didn’t even know how the occlusion was done in the first place or at the previous stage.

But since I know very well that it is very embarrassing and shameful,

Irene, her face flushed red, let out her excited breath and fanned her hand.

Then he took a book from her bookshelf,

She carefully looked around her and then she lightly opened the first page of the book and flipped it over.

Letters written in the middle of the first page, white as snow.

On the slightly smudged paper, the ink hadn’t dried yet, there were words written on it that weren’t common.

[Fifty Shades of Young Ae]

Gulp-

Irene’s neck moved greatly once.

She never imagined that she would buy such a book, but she still thought of it as studying, and she seemed to feel a little embarrassed.

Irene looked around her again to see if she could hear the trembling she felt when she first received the book from Pena, her heart beating like it was about to explode.

Although she told Lopena not to let anyone in, she still seemed unable to help her uneasiness.

“…Whoa.”

It was a book recommended by Lopena.

A book recommended to me as a magical book that can take the relationship between a man and a woman to a higher level.

It was said that there was a bit of obscenity in it, but it was a book worth reading, so I bought it without hesitation.

I thought it was right that the cover was neat, but the number 19 stuck in this corner bothered me.

The number 19 written in a red frame,

And underneath it is the no-purchase sign for boys. Irene, who frowned at her for a moment,

Before long, I started turning the pages of her book slowly.

That way, one by one. Irene, whose shoulders trembled whenever she turned over the paper, She

She After a while, she read the book halfway through, and then closed the book with a subtle expression.

“……”

Irene’s expression was close to expressionless.

As if thinking about something, and as if contemplating something.

She stared at the empty space for a long time with a serious expression. She stared blankly at the book she was reading.

If what you see in this book is true. Irene’s mouth twisted slowly.

As if despondent, her sigh leaked from the stillness and was deeper than any other sigh.

However, Irene’s sparkling eyes gave off a completely different atmosphere from before.

Irene, who had been stroking her blushing cheeks, eventually got up from her seat and started walking towards somewhere.

#

“Ha ha.”

She lets out a sigh. The sighs I let out in vain were only mixed with the wind and disappeared without a trace.

Still feeling stuffy inside, there was no sign of relief at all.

Brushing her tousled hair with her rough hand,

Evan, who was staring blankly at her face reflected in her mirror, smiled bitterly.

Since I heard the name Scarlett, I’ve been a bit of a bummer. She

She tells Irene She’s not paying attention to her as well as before.

She was worried about him, but she wondered if Irene was offended by him.

I acted in my own way to be careful, but wasn’t it already spilled water?

I’d rather think to myself. He regrets his actions of spitting out the name Scarlett.

Evan sighed while leaning against the mirror and quietly headed towards the hallway.

It was dawn when everyone was asleep now, but Evan tilted her head when he saw that a light was on on one side of the hallway that should have been completely dark.

Who is out at dawn? Realizing that the light was on towards the dining room, Evan slowly moved her steps.

She then saw a person in the restaurant and quietly pursed her lips.

“…Irene.”

From noble mtl dot com

Where did her usual clothes go? Irene was sitting alone at her table, wearing a white gown, with her wet hair left intact.

A glass placed in front of it, and a red liquid dripping in it.

Evan, who noticed that she was definitely wine, slightly frowned at her, and Irene, who discovered Evan, opened her mouth.

“I’m not drunk.”

“…Did something go wrong? Why are you drinking alone?”

“I just have something to think about.”

Seeing her slightly flushed cheeks, Evan swallowed her saliva.

She didn’t look quite as drunk as she did last time, but she seemed to be getting high.

As I held out her hand to lead her to her room, Irene grabbed her by the wrist and shook her head slowly.

As if saying no, Irene licked her slightly reddened lips and looked at Evan.

Her slightly closed eyes and slightly strange gaze made her Evan shake her shoulders, and Irene smiled and nodded her head.

“Would you like…A drink?”

Of course, Evan couldn’t refuse that request.
