93 – To You (2)

The clear weather without a single cloud and higher than usual skies seemed to announce that autumn was gradually approaching.

The pouring sunlight wanders aimlessly and soon digs into small cracks,

Before long, the light from the window of Evan’s room poured into Irene’s eyes.

Originally, she was Irene who slept lightly,

It took quite a long time for Irene, who fell asleep particularly deeply that day, to come to her senses.

Not even noticing that her arm was numb, Evan smiled quietly as she watched Irene exhale in a whisper.

She opened her eyes and how surprised she was. Evan looked for a moment at her thin arm, which still rested by her bedside.

She smiled quietly and ran a soft stroke of Irene’s hair as she lay there looking at herself.

“…Did you think you wouldn’t touch me if I stayed like this?”

Maybe she’s looking at herself too funny. Evan let out a shallow sigh at her concern.

I’m quite a man… What should I do if I’m sleeping comfortably next to you like this? Although he felt a little upset,

On the other hand, he was a little happy that he believed in himself.

Since he had no intention of touching it anyway, unlike usual, Evan quietly stretched in a completely fresh state.

I thought I slept beautifully. Maybe it’s because she’s a daughter of an aristocratic family,

I don’t know if it’s just her, though.

A smile leaked out without my knowledge seeing him sleeping peacefully without any flaws,

Evan covered her mouth and laid her back quietly next to Irene.

I touched her forehead, which was slightly covered by her hair, and gently pulled her hair back.

A white forehead, a slowly descending finger traced the bridge of a sharp nose.

Cheeks without a single blemish go indent when pressed with a finger,

Evan pulled the corners of Irene’s lips, giving her enough strength to leave a slight mark.

“My lady, won’t you wake up?”

He sleeps so deeply even when he is next to him. He had long since pulled back the curtains on the windows,

Looking at Irene, who showed no signs of waking up, Evan quietly thought.

How should I explain this to Lopena? I’m sure if Irene wasn’t in her room, she would come freaking out…

It was a bit late for dawn, so it must have been a while since the servants here woke up.

There were a lot of problems starting with taking Irene out of here.

‘But what…’

Wouldn’t it be okay now? If something like this happens to be discussed, just hold Irene’s hand once.

Evan’s expression stiffened after laughing happily at that thought for a moment.

It was because Irene’s fingers that didn’t fit in anything, she remembered that she hadn’t made a proper confession yet.

It’s a confession. Evan, who lay down again looking at her ceiling, frowned at her.

She couldn’t figure out what to do. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for her.

But… She’s never been interested in anything like this before.

Thinking about her confession only turned her head white.

Evan found a violet flower in a corner of the table and carefully lifted the vase.

What about giving her flowers? Wouldn’t that be too cliché?

People around her to ask for advice on her love life… Evan, recalling the prince’s face, shook her head.

Although she was friendly with her, she couldn’t deny that he was a prostitute.

He was pure love for Scarlett, but wasn’t there a lot of rumors about him with several women before?

He’s been a little quiet lately, but if you ask him for advice, you might end up doing something bad to Irene.

After erasing her thoughts, Evan looked at Irene who was lying down again. In fact, it was a very ambiguous relationship. She

She hadn’t officially declared that he was her lover, and she had only narrowed the gap a little by breaking up her engagement.

“…The duke is practically permitted.”

Did you say that you can call her an adult craftsman? She was dumbfounded at the last concert when she suddenly burst into a fiery rage.

She said she opened her mouth wide while looking at the other woman. How much time did she spend clearing up the misunderstanding,

After she cleared up the misunderstanding, she was fine again. Evan shrugged her shoulders as she recalled the memory of her vowing never to do that again.

Now all that was left was a confession, so Evan gently closed his eyes as the future was bleak.

She doesn’t need to think so quickly, though. Wasn’t she happy enough even now?

Evan lay down again looking at Irene and smiled quietly. How long will it take for her to wake up?

I thought she wasn’t the type to sleep in,

Seeing her sleeping late like this, she seemed to see an unexpected side of her, so she kept laughing.

On the other hand, it’s funny that she does this while watching her sleep.

As Evan touched her long eyelashes, he realized that Irene’s breathing had changed.

Seeing her flinching and trembling arms and the blue eyes that appeared between her slightly parted eyelids, Evan quietly opened her mouth.

“Are you awake?”

Irene stared blankly at her face in front of her own.

Is this a dream? When she wakes up, she finds that Evan is in front of her… She used to dream like this often, but

According to her today, Irene pulled the corners of her lips at her dream, which was particularly vivid, and she smiled brightly.

“hehehe…Evan…”

Irene hugged her Evan like her doll and started rubbing her face against her Evan’s chest. She

Smells her scent, she feels the texture of her rough bandages…

‘Feel?’

Irene’s eyes opened wide at the moment. As she gradually becomes aware of things she cannot feel if it is a dream, She

When she saw Evan staring blankly at her, she realized that this was not her dream.

Irene, who hastily moved away from Evan’s body, hurriedly caught her breath.

She rolled over, her wandering eyes lost her way.

“…Forget it.”

Evan blocked her mouth without answering.

She just stared at Irene, who covered her face with her hands, trying not to forget the voice she had just heard.

-hehehe… Evan…

“That, just now-“

“Forget it…!”

If I could turn back her time, I would do it now. Only Irene’s pitiful voice filled her room and lingered.

Of course, Evan had no intention of forgetting what had just happened. I will keep it in her memory for the rest of my life.

It was the moment when Evan’s memory worked more effectively than ever.

I thought that her physical condition itself was getting better.

She just had a good night’s sleep, but she didn’t expect that most of her wounds would be healed like this.

Wouldn’t it be okay to loosen the bandages now? It was a bit annoying that the emperor called,

I turned to Irene to finish talking about yesterday.

Irene, who was still sitting on her bed, turned her head away again, avoiding her gaze as I turned her head.

She can talk a little bit in her sleep, so why should she be so ashamed of it?

“Didn’t you say you would forget it? If you continue to do that, I will be in trouble.”

“…I don’t know.”

As if she hadn’t forgotten a bit of what had happened earlier, Irene lowered her head and replied in a weak voice.

If you’re in that state, you probably won’t be able to talk properly.

I had a lot of questions about the emperor, but I thought I’d put that aside until later, resting my chin on her desk and looking at Irene.

“Lofena will be worried. Shouldn’t you be leaving soon?”

“Evan can leave.”

“…This is my room. Miss.”

When Irene heard that, she glanced at me and pursed her lips.

Anyway, what should she do about Pena?

Since she hasn’t made any fuss so far, she might be looking for Irene, or maybe she assumed that I was with her.

…I thought that Lopena would be seriously misunderstood. She went in during the day alone and came out the next morning.

Isn’t she in a situation where anyone can misunderstand her? I thought for a moment about how to explain to Lopena what she said,

I grabbed Irene’s wrist and pulled her up from the bed.

It was unfortunate, but I couldn’t keep Irene here forever.

When Irene caught her wrist, she was startled and tried to escape.

When I didn’t let go, he soon gave up and put on an insensitive expression.

As if nothing had happened, a slightly cold voice came out of her mouth.

“Let go of this.”

“Yes.”

“…….”

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Oh, no.”

Irene looked at me blankly as if she was dumbfounded, and then she looked at her wrist and muttered something.

It was a very small sound, but I didn’t miss it.

It was funny that my needlessly sharpened senses would show off their abilities at a time like this, but

What Irene muttered was more shocking than I thought.

“I was told that in this situation, I would just put them on the bed…”

“Who said that?”

When I heard it, I was dumbfounded for a moment, and I never imagined that Irene would say that.

A bed? I never thought I would hear something like this from Irene.

When I opened her mouth in considerable surprise, Irene pursed her lips, visibly embarrassed.

“Lo, Lopena told me. She says she helps me so-“

“…You seem to have heard nothing helpful at all.”

It seemed that Lo Pena had added her nonsense.

Irene, who doesn’t know anything, must have been fooled by those words,

She sighed as she pressed her head, which throbbed for a moment.

I’m sure Lopena didn’t advise you to lie down after coming to cook porridge.

But I couldn’t say anything to the person who cooked it myself, so I smiled and patted Irene on the shoulder.

“You better not listen to Lopena from now on.”

“…Okay.”

“Then let’s go out now. I will return in a little while.”

Irene opened her eyes wide for a moment at her words of her comeback. She looked at my bandage and opened her mouth.

“Return, I haven’t gotten better yet.”

“I think everything is better. After a good night’s sleep, I felt completely fine. Thanks to the lady.”

Actually, she is just an excuse, but she still intends to return today.

Since I just had to go out alone for a bit and find something, shouldn’t I send Irene back?

Irene looked at me with a disapproving expression, then as if she agreed, she slowly nodded her head and turned around.

“See you later.”

“Okay.”

The door didn’t close for a long time, so I closed it with a smile.

It’s the same for me too, but I guess we’ll meet again in a little while.

I made sure no one was outside the room, so it must have gone well.

After the sound of Irene’s footsteps disappeared, I sat down on the chair and let out a long breath.

What should I say? We had only been together for one day, but the room felt strangely empty.

At most one person is gone, and he’s only been here for a little while.

How long has it been since you felt this empty? Surrounded by strange feelings,

I started to organize the top of my desk to forget the emptiness.

I took out the well-organized books and put them back in, but I still didn’t like it, so I sorted them by height and put them all back in.

Wipe the well-cleaned desk again with a rag,

It was only after collecting old wooden swords and putting them in a corner that he seemed to be able to calm down a bit.

“Ha ha.”

When the bandages were undone, a completely clean body was revealed.

Could it be that the reason why my recovery has been slow so far is simply because I haven’t been able to sleep properly?

I looked at Irene’s open shirt for a while, then shrugged her shoulders pretending nothing was wrong with her buttoned up as she was.

Well, since I didn’t sweat while wearing this, wearing it for another day would be fine.

‘Anyway, he’s the emperor.’

It was the prince’s message that there was a possibility of meeting the emperor, but

Considering what the prince usually said, he would almost certainly meet the emperor.

If we ever meet, wouldn’t it be Ascalon that we’re most worried about?

A sword originally wielded by the first emperor, Allar. Of course, the imperial family would try to take ownership of it.

But I didn’t want to give Ascalon to them.

It’s not important that Allar heard it, because Ascalon is the one that can use my mana the best.

If it hadn’t been for Ascalon when fighting Biltain, the fight might have been a bit longer.

Then the gargoyles could have put Sir Theorard and the prince in danger.

The fight against the warlock is not over yet.

While subjugating Roman, the momentum of extinction was dampened, but

Even so, you still don’t know a bit about the ‘plan’ they said they had made.

What does the red moon mean, and about the original heroine that hasn’t appeared properly yet?

The original Yeoju was never mentioned before the beginning of the original story.

She only mentioned that she was from a commoner, and that she was lucky enough to be adopted and become a nobleman.

Since it was also from an unknown family in her periphery, some were surprised that she was a nobleman.

Scarlett Therazane, what is the reason why I have not been able to find it even though I have been searching for it?

I thought a lot about the original Yeoju, but

She couldn’t get over the subtle feelings she had about her these days.

Clearly, there is something. And wouldn’t the emperor know that?

Since the reason why the emperor kept Scarlet in check was not mentioned in the novel,

If I met him, I had no choice but to ask him directly.

‘…There’s still a long way to go.’

Didn’t the prince say last time that Hattan might have something to do with the black magician?

Scarlett Even so, ending the extinction completely was an important issue.

Now it seems like I can easily take down Maloric or Viltain, but I shouldn’t be careless.

Still, it will be easier than before.

From noble mtl dot com

If I am formally recognized as a master, I will receive the authority as a master of the empire, not as an escort knight.

I should have been able to dig a little more about the information about the extinction that the empire had.

And… About the family to which I belong, Fried.

However, the thoughts quickly dissipated.

It was because I was distracted by the scent of roses that filled the room and kept poking my nose.

I don’t know if it’s because Irene slept here, but

Her bed was full of that scent and it was hard for her to concentrate on anything.

If I stay in this room all the time, it’s probably hard for me to think to my satisfaction.

Putting the chair into the desk, I quietly looked outside the door.

Because I didn’t want Irene or Lopena to find out about this outing.

If you get caught, everything you’ve been thinking about will collapse, let alone embarrassing things.

It wasn’t that I didn’t believe in Lopena, but I couldn’t bear to deny that Lopena was lighthearted.

The sky beyond the window in the hallway was so blue.

Occasionally clouds hang over the perfectly clear sky after the rain has stopped.

The pure white light that pierced the gap between them and colored the world was only cozy.

It’s a nice day, and the birds are chirping.

…I think it would be a perfect day to go buy a ring.
