Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

94 – To You (3)

Lofena silently looked at her young lady sitting at her desk.

She glanced at herself with a subtle look, then as she sat down at her desk, she regained her usual insensitive face.

She said yes, but she is completely back to normal.

She sometimes only thought that there must have been something that made her face blush when she was alone.

‘…As expected.’

Lo Pena smiled quietly as she recalled this dawn.

She knocked on the door, but there was no answer, so she came out quietly. She

She told me that she was making porridge yesterday and she told me to stop by her room.

She said that the first time was difficult, and then it was easy.

‘Somehow it smelled like the knight’s scent.’

Most of the bath water that Irene always uses has a rose scent.

So, Irene always felt the enchanting scent of roses, but now that scent has faded and is not mixed with other scents.

Lopena, realizing that the scent was Evan’s, nodded her head.

“How was yesterday?”

“…That was fine.”

Irene answered quietly. To be precise,

Irene didn’t even know what Lopena was talking about, she just replied.

The only thoughts that filled her head were memories of yesterday and this morning, She

She herself did in her drool. She blushed again and lowered her head.

She tried not to look disheveled in front of Evan,

It made her feel very ashamed that she was awake and showed her like that.

-hehehe… Evan…

What would Evan think of himself? She tried hard to smile, but she looked pretty embarrassed by Evan as well.

Crackle-! A small letter in Irene’s hand was severely crushed.

It was sent by the crown prince, but what does that matter now?

Every time she remembered her words in the morning, it felt like each of her hair stood on end.

She

When she first met Evan, she herself treated her Evan quite coldly. She

She tried to humiliate him, and she didn’t look her down until he gave up.

However, as time passed and he changed his mind about his knight named Evan Fried, his attitude toward him could not be easily changed.

It was awkward for him to be gentle with Lee Jee,

It was because it was quite unfamiliar to treat someone gently.

So even now, after quite a while, he still maintains that attitude.

Irene looked at the letter in her hand and tried to suppress her shyness.

It was a very crumpled letter, but if you hold it once more, you won’t even recognize its shape.

Irene, who calmly put down her letter, sighed as she looked into the empty space.

“Haa…”

“My lady?”

Irene turned her head to look at Pena at the sound of her voice coming from one side of her.

It started with Lopena’s advice, but now there are only doubts about whether Lopena’s advice was really advice.

To say that she was excellent at that kind of thing, didn’t she end up without much progress?

Wouldn’t it be better for her to do her own thing next time.

After organizing her thoughts, Irene looked at Pena and carefully opened her mouth.

“…Evan said it was better not to listen to you.”

“Yes?”

“I appreciate the advice you gave me, but from now on I will try my own way.”

Lofena opened her eyes wide. Setting aside the fact that the young lady said such a thing to the knight,

The lady’s attitude suddenly changed. Thoughts began to flood into Lopena’s head.

There has been a saying from long ago to be careful of lawsuits from pillow hair, but now isn’t it a situation where the gender has been completely reversed?

“My lady, do you trust the driver’s words more?”

Lo Pena, who asked just in case, raised her head in her uneasy mind,

She

Soon she looked at Irene’s expression as soon as she saw it.

For more than 10 years, she was Lopena who served Irene, but Irene … She already trusted Evan more.

“Are you asking for the obvious?”

At Irene’s firm answer, Lopena blankly opened her mouth.

But Irene didn’t care about Lopena’s reaction, so

She opened the letter she had crumpled earlier and began to check its contents.

A letter sent back from the Crown Prince. Didn’t she confirm last time that she might meet the Emperor?

Perhaps this time it is about how it ended.

Since she had only met the emperor in person, she did not know much about Irene or the emperor.

She only knows that she is the father of the crown prince and the owner of the empire.

It was always the crown prince who went to the forefront, and at most he appeared only at events celebrating the National Foundation Day, so how could he know everything?

Irene was suspicious of her last letter saying that the emperor was trying to meet Evan in person,

She started slowly unfolding her crumpled paper, deciding to check her correspondence first.

And.

“…What is this?”

[It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is trying to meet your knight in person. It’s strange that I’m so active this time, but I inevitably want you to follow me. Most likely it has something to do with extinction. After all, the one who controls information that even I don’t know about must be the owner of Evangelium. I hope you understand. The deadline will be notified later, so could you send Sir Evan alone if possible? I hope that Gwangyeong will be diary in Julis.]

An emperor who allows even war heroes to meet the crown prince, is trying to meet Evan himself.

Deep in thought, Irene slowly looked at the letter. I wasn’t as anxious as when the Roman Subjugation was in effect, but

It must be clear that there is something he or the Crown Prince do not know.

In an instant, a strong difference arose from the blue eyes.

I went out to buy a ring, but I was at a loss as to which one to buy.

I’ve never paid much attention to these things, and at best I’ve known about giving out rings with diamonds.

A dark cloud hung over Evan’s expression as he walked down the street on a quiet afternoon.

‘I have no idea.’

What kind of situation should I give this kind of thing, what should I say and give it.

Besides, each and every one of these gifts has a meaning, so shouldn’t we act carefully?

A cool breeze mixed with the blowing wind, announcing that the greenery that had covered the world was slowly receding.

When winter comes…You’ll be busier than you are now.

It was Evan’s idea to at least finish this and that before fall came.

Confession was one of them.

– When Evan entered the jewelry store door,

The owner Gerard, who was inside, quietly raised his eyes.

Actually, the jewelry store Evan entered wasn’t very crowded.

The biggest reason why it is not popular even though it is located in the middle of the city, where a lot of people pass by is the owner of a jewelry store.

What kind of customer would like the owner who takes care of the guests himself?

“…What are you here for?”

Evan slightly shrugged her shoulders at Gerard’s dreadlocks.

The long scars across his eyes and mouth indicate whether he is the owner of a jewelry store.

Or maybe it was because it was enough to make me doubt that he was the mercenary leader.

Realizing that there were no accessories on display around him, Evan scratched his cheek, then carefully opened his mouth.

“…To match a pair of rings.”

“A pair, do you mean wedding rings?”

Should I be honest about this?

However, Evan struggled to open his mouth and answered as he couldn’t bear to answer the stare staring at him.

“I will use it when I confess. Engagement… you could say it was a ring.”

Because if you get married, you’ll probably get it right again.

Because they couldn’t guarantee marriage yet, Evan didn’t say anything more and kept his mouth shut.

Gerard laughed at Evan like that.

I don’t think you just want to waste your wealth,

It was because I quite liked the pure intention itself.

“How big are your fingers?”

As Gerard handed out the sample, Evan, who had been tinkering with the ring several times, chose two rings and presented them.

It’s the size of Irene’s fingers. It’s her hands that she’s been touching every day lately.

That’s why it didn’t take long to distinguish the size of her fingers.

Evan, who was watching Gerard stroking the two rings and guessing their shape, opened his mouth slowly.

“But… I’m not sure what to buy. Everyone says they buy diamond-encrusted things, but isn’t that because they all have meaning?”

“Meaning.”

Gerard smiled quietly. There weren’t that many customers asking about that.

Interested, Gerard pursed his lips.

“Diamonds are often said to mean eternity. Doesn’t it mean that it doesn’t get scratched by any impact and maintains its shape for the rest of its life? Immortal, that’s why they believe their love will last forever and put diamonds in their rings.”

After catching his breath for a moment, Gerard continued his words while laying out various jewels.

“However, diamonds are not indestructible. Any jewel in the world will lose its luster and break someday. Do you know that Diamonds burn out pretty easily. No matter how eternal and immortal a jewel is, it has a weakness in the end. It’s just that there’s no blemish, and it’s the same as breaking if you hit it hard.”

“So you’re saying diamonds don’t mean much?”

“That’s not what I meant. It means that things don’t go so romantically. Nothing lasts forever. Even if it is love, it will fade like a flame within a few years. People put such expectations on jewelry and try to entrust everything to them. In the end, when love fades, you will be treated as junk that costs only a few tens of gold coins.”

Evan frowned at those words. Isn’t that a very pleasant story?

I came to get a ring, but to hear that love won’t last forever.

But I didn’t want to show off like that, so I just let out a small sigh and waited for Gerard to finish talking.

However, Gerard did not lose sight of his guest’s expression, and then opened his mouth with a chuckle.

“You must be in a bad mood. Hey, it’s not something to say to the person who came to match the ring.”

“…Did you say that knowingly?”

“Looks like a son from a precious family, but I just wanted to tease him. I don’t think I’m the kind of person who would go out saying it’s bad to hear something like this. hahahaha.”

Gerard had no desire to make a lot of money.

If you put diamonds in a ring made of gold, you will earn a lot of money, but will that really last as long as it implies?

From noble mtl dot com

It was his wish that he would use the jewelry and accessories he had crafted for a long time with proper meaning, albeit a little.

“The reason why a ring is worn on the ring finger comes from the idea that it is connected to the human heart. The heart means the heart, so wouldn’t you have hoped that you could feel that heart a little bit better?”

“Is that so?”

“Even if it’s not diamonds, there are many gems. There are a few more jewels with the meaning of eternity, and even more jewels with the meaning of love. It should be a ring that you will wear for the rest of your life, so wouldn’t it be right to give each other a little bit of meaningful rings?”

With that said, Gerard eventually took out an emerald and put it in front of Evan.

Gerard liked jewelry that resembled human eyes.

So, as soon as he saw Evan’s eyes, he thought that emerald would suit him.

The brilliant green light seemed to capture the forest as it was. If you look inside, the thin solid lines harmonize just like a garden.

Evan quietly opened his mouth to the jewelry showing the new green of the season.

“It’s an emerald.”

“It is said that the pupil is a window that illuminates a person’s heart. If you’re seeing it for the first time, you can tell quite a bit just by looking at its eyes. The fact that you are in love quite passionately, and the fact that you had a lot of worries about coming this far.”

Tuk, as the emerald bounced off Gerard’s finger rolled and headed in front of Evan,

Evan carefully picked up the jewel and examined it.

As if looking in a mirror, the bright green jewel seemed to represent oneself.

“I don’t know what eye color the person you’re gifting the ring to is, but wouldn’t it be great if we matched each other’s eye color? It’s a gem that means happiness in its own way, so it would be okay to match the meaning.”

“…Not bad.”

Evan quietly looked at the jewel. Dark green, just like the color of your eyes,

If I had a ring with something like this on my finger. At the sudden burst of laughter, Evan tapped her ring finger.

Not a bad idea.

No, wouldn’t it be a very good idea in that you can do something different from others?

If you put a sapphire in her own ring, and an emerald or peridot in Irene’s ring…

Even if they are apart, they will be able to think of each other while looking at the ring.

Evan slowly shook her head and looked at Gerard.

If I had gone to another jewelry store, I would have matched a ring with a diamond without knowing why.

Maybe it was unexpected luck that I came here.

“So, have you made up your mind?”

“I can’t deny the idea that it’s better to use other stones than diamonds. Even if I think about it, it means a little more. If things go well… Isn’t it a ring you’ll keep for the rest of your life?”

Gerard burst into laughter at Evan’s words about her marriage.

She said that she was not confident until just now, and now she will talk about it for the rest of her life.

But I liked her. As for the meaning of each of these things,

Isn’t that the sound of being sincere in everything in my own way?

“Gold is easily bent and bent, but that’s why it doesn’t break easily. The casting of the ring is made of gold because the relationship between people should also be like that.”

Gerard, who raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Evan and continued her words.

“I hope you two live well together for such a long time. If it’s an engagement made by a son of a nobleman, rumors may spread, so I’ll cheer for you from afar.”

“…Thank you.”

Actually, I had planned to do it quietly, just the two of us, but Evan smiled slightly and nodded her head.

Evan asked to put a sapphire on the large side and an emerald on the small side. Then, Evan began to think about the future.

How to convey this, what to say and give.

…Oh, I thought it was hopeless. It was just a bitter laugh.

#

“…Oops.”

After Evan left, Gerard, who was looking at the newspaper, looked out the door, swallowing his saliva.

I never imagined that the person who came to match me with a ring would be this big.

How could he know that he was the same knight who directly subdued Duke Roman?

“Anyway, with that face, there must be many women of this kind.”

The face shown by the tall-looking knight is that of a young man who is in love with a puppy.

Recalling that image, Gerard tilted his head and covered the newspaper.

Well, it’s someone else’s love affair, although he didn’t care about it himself.

Maybe it’s because he’s been receiving it for quite some time, but he’s worried about this and that.

“Looks like you need to pay a little more attention.”

After saying that he was cheering me on, if he was the person who appeared in the newspaper, didn’t he receive personal grace?

Of course he didn’t know, but Gerard smiled slightly and before long began carving his magic circle towards the jewel he was working on.

Someday I’ll be able to help.

Whether it’s the knight or the knight’s fiancée.

Isn’t that a good enough reward? As usual, the secluded jewelry store resonated with giggling laughter.
