Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

95 – To You (4)

After Evan stopped by the jewelery shop, it has been quite a while since he returned to work as an escort knight.

However, since I was away from time to time,

Even Irene, who at first thought it was so, had no choice but to question him.

Because the irritation that rises for no reason was a bonus,

Looking at Irene like that, Chris eventually cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“You seem quite uncomfortable.”

“…Not like that.”

I was thinking of various crimes such as neglect of duty and disobedience of orders, but

Irene did not reveal such thoughts.

Since she was in the room all the time, she tolerated it out of frustration, but,

Now, it is only natural that people feel uneasy when they go out without even telling them where they are going.

However, even after asking each and every question, what was the situation? All Irene could do was wait.

“It’s Evan, isn’t he just hanging around to cool her head?”

“I think so.”

As Lo Pena added to Chris’s words, Irene looked at the two with a strange expression and slowly nodded her head.

Hey, would Evan leave him and go see another woman? She

If she could, she would have done it right away. She wouldn’t have to think that it wouldn’t happen now.

She calmed herself down, but as she looked at her papers again, Irene suddenly let out a deep sigh and lowered her head.

I can’t concentrate. Realizing that the fundamental problem was Evan’s absence, Irene pressed her head hard as if in agony.

Seeing that, Chris smiled bitterly. Wasn’t she supposed to live a long time?

She’s so confused about the only lady she serves, a man.

But if there was one question that came to her mind, it was why she hadn’t officially dated her yet.

As the backbone of the Roman family is destroyed, it is now confirmed that the Roman family itself will be erased from the history of the empire.

Her engagement, which had bound Irene any longer, had no effect.

Didn’t Adele Roman, her party, and Bil Thein, who verbally told her about her engagement, also die?

The position of watching is so frustrating, but

The relationship between the two, which has not made much progress so far, has already been one of the heartbreaking things in the duke’s residence.

Of course, it was frustrating.

“…So, didn’t she say she stopped by the imperial palace?”

“Yes. There was no harvest to speak of.”

Irene tried to erase her thoughts and opened her mouth. Recently sending Sir Chris to the Imperial Palace,

It was an attempt to find out a little about the emperor trying to meet Evan.

How can you grasp the emperor’s true intentions, which even the crown prince, his son, does not know?

It was a method he could try because he was the most trusted of the five families.

Since it is the imperial palace, Chris quietly swallowed his saliva.

He had participated in the extermination subjugation several decades ago, and he had a reputation for this and that.

Still, there was little he could learn from this visit.

Recalling the memory of seeing the Emperor from afar, Chris shook his head.

Apparently, the only way to know the emperor’s true intentions would be for Evan to meet him in person.

“I could only tell that the emperor was quite lenient towards Evan. His Highness, the Crown Prince, said that it was okay for Evan to come at a convenient time.”

“Is that so? The emperor is favorable to Evan…”

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand, but if the target was the emperor, it was a problem.

Why, the Emperor, who hadn’t moved until Evan had defeated so many warlocks and even the Bone Dragon, is now showing interest in him?

If I had to argue, it would have been because Evan had risen to master status and eliminated one of the 5 major families.

“You’re not trying to interrogate me, are you?”

“If I had intended to interrogate, I would have acted a little more aggressively. He’s been pretty tough on warlocks since before.”

Then it wouldn’t be much of a problem. Irene thought so and quietly stared into space.

I don’t know why I’m feeling this strange, but after Evan met the emperor, I was going to ask him persistently about this and that.

Red moon, sacrifice. Could it be that the story of what Bill Thein put in her mouth comes out.

‘Good job, Sir Chris. That should be enough for now.’

“By the way, where is Evan by now?”

The moment Irene said that, there was silence in her room for a while.

Seeing Irene tilting her head, not knowing what was wrong, Chris glanced at Pena for a moment, then,

After a while, I let out a pathetic smile at Lopena’s expression as she looked at my lady.

Have you been thinking about where my escort is?

It didn’t take long for Irene’s face to turn red after understanding the silence,

Lopena and Chris were busy laughing as Irene buried her face in her papers.

Snip-

Surprisingly, there weren’t many thoughts that came to mind when I saw my head being cut off.

I only think about what will happen after I cut it, what if it doesn’t suit me,

It’s been a long time since I’ve already accepted it casually that the barber’s face turned red in the mirror.

It’s been a long time since she thought her hair was a bit long, so she decided to cut it someday.

Now that I finally cut it, I felt it was a bit late.

Finally, time has become quite spacious recently,

Now that I have received the finished ring, in a way, today is the best day to get my hair done.

I felt a little awkward when I saw that my long hair had shortened, and now my forehead was completely neat.

Of course, if you flip it backwards or lower it, it will cover your forehead, but it’s because your hair is much shorter than before.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, yes? Yes…It’s okay.”

I glanced at the bewildered barber,

When I touched her hair little by little, she seemed to feel a little better, so I stopped.

It’s safe to say that this is clean enough.

It felt a bit sharper, but wouldn’t it be much better than the shaggy hair I had before?

As soon as I came out, she gave me a blank laugh at the stare that was immediately fixed on me.

He should have gotten used to it now, but he nodded his head and tried to avoid her gaze at the gaze that had changed a little more blatantly.

She knew that Irene’s gaze at me had become cold lately.

I did induce that kind of thing on purpose, but did I just go outside and walk around?

She sighed slowly as she touched the two ring boxes in her arms.

Isn’t it all that came out to solve the worry of what to do to hand this over?

Fortunately, it was that I had finished worrying to some extent about what to do.

Perhaps the most important thing in giving a ring is the atmosphere,

Creating such an atmosphere would be the step before that. I had a lot of trouble.

As much as I know that there is nothing more stupid than giving a ring blindly,

Aren’t the things you have to go through before that more important than anything else?

‘…If you think about it, it’s simple.’

I personally thought that the result after thinking about it was okay.

Although I was still wondering if Irene would like it, if this would become something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.

If I had to pick the reason I came out like this today, it was to embellish myself a little.

Even if you think it’s too much to prepare for just one day,

It was a day that will be remembered for the rest of my life, so shouldn’t I dress up like this?

From noble mtl dot com

I personally resized and tailored my clothes, bought perfume, and even straightened my hair.

That was enough. I invested all my salary that I don’t normally spend here,

I think we have achieved satisfactory results. When I looked in the mirror, I saw a slightly cleaner look.

Even if the short hair swept back is a bit awkward,

It’s just a matter of time, so won’t it gradually get better?

The rippling green eyes, like waves, gave off an unusually different color.

Clearer than the emeralds I saw at jewelry stores,

She has green eyes that seem to be playing in a garden that is deeper than the whole garden she saw in it.

Her straight nose stood out as if measured with a protractor against her fair skin.

However, the reason why he doesn’t look thin is probably because of his strong muscles that stand out even under his shirt.

The sharp jawline stretched over the thick neck gave off a rather rough impression.

Her slightly folded eyes gave the impression of being slightly exhausted, and when I smiled, I thought it was a pretty good face.

She didn’t pay much attention to makeup before when she went to competitions.

She shrugged slightly, thinking that she would be able to feel the satisfaction of dressing up like this.

What I wanted to see was Irene’s reaction, but wouldn’t it be necessary to ask someone else?

As I entered the duke’s residence, the captain of the guard who saw me was startled and immediately frowned.

“Where are you from?”

“I went out for a while. I came to tidy up my hair.”

“…Ha, don’t run into the ladies-in-waiting. I’m afraid I’ll get upset.”

Have a good relationship. After laughing at that absurd statement, the guard captain warned me once more with a serious expression.

Go back to your room and go to sleep. However, it can’t be, can it?

She has to meet Irene in a moment, and she has to do her job as her escort driver anyway.

When I entered the duke’s residence, the lady-in-waiting met her eyes and suddenly stopped and stared at my face.

“…Rize?”

“Evan, did you cut your hair?”

I nodded her head indifferently to the way she raised her quivering finger and pointed at me.

Rize, who had wiped her face, sneaked closer to me and touched her mouth.

Looking at her quivering eyes, she realized that she was quite agitated.

At that moment, why did I remember what the captain of the guard said to me earlier?

Jeongbun, Jeongbun. I knew the odds weren’t high, but I definitely felt the need to be careful.

“Uh, hmm…it suits me well. Really. You shouldn’t have cut it long ago.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Rise looked at me and tried to fan her hand while covering her blushing cheeks.

She already knows how she sees me.

I just smiled at her shyly and walked past her.

Anyway, wouldn’t this be enough for a reaction?

It didn’t take long for the person named Rize to be forgotten in her mind.

I hope Irene sees this and she reacts well,

Maybe it wouldn’t be bad for her to react like Rize. Her heart trembled slightly.

Anyway, this was for my own notice,

That preview… In a way, it will decide something that only happens once in your life.

Will I be able to do well? To be honest, I felt more nervous now than when I went to fight Viltain.

I breathe in calmly, lest the sound of my pounding heart leak out.

After standing in front of Irene’s door for a long time, I raised her arm and knocked on the door.

Knock- A long silence, a voice must surely be heard from beyond,

I felt anxious that I might not hear any answer.

“Come in.”

And at that voice, he let out a heavy breath again.

Remembering what to do with this, I just turned the doorknob and saw the scenery inside.

A small table placed on a plaid carpet. A sofa around a table.

If you turn your gaze from there, you will see a woman sitting at a large desk.

As soon as she met her blue eyes, her stiff expression seemed to relax a little, so she slightly pulled the corners of her mouth.

“……”

The image of Irene staring blankly at me while holding a teacup made it seem as if only that space had stopped.

The slightly dilated pupils trembled, and then Irene, who opened her mouth slightly, quietly asked.

“Evan?”

“That’s right.”

“I cut her hair… I see. Yes? Unless my eyes are weird.”

“Is it weird? It was too long, so I cut it off a little, but it was a little awkward for me.”

She fiddled with the teacup for a while, then Irene stared at me and then pursed her lips.

The cheeks are slowly turning red, and the delicately swaying eyelashes must be an indication that she is also agitated.

It wasn’t a bad reaction, so I slowly approached Irene and touched her hair.

“Seeing that you haven’t responded, I don’t think it suits you very well.”

“No- it’s not like that…”

I knew it suited them. Hairdresser, Resenna, or Irene.

Because everyone was showing a consistent response. She just wanted to tease.

The cheeks that get a little redder when I get closer, the breath that gets quicker, the breath that gets hotter.

I just wanted to see and feel it a little more.

As the gap gradually narrowed, Irene’s shaking eyes entered her field of vision.

As soon as I put my hand on her desk,

Irene, who had been fiddling with her papers, pulled her hands to her chest and looked up at me.

I looked at Irene and tilted her head slightly at her.

“You don’t have an answer.”

“…Perfume on you?”

I nodded her head gently at those words. Because I sprayed it on purpose.

It was a scent that was not too strong and spread gently,

Noticing the subtle difference, Irene immediately frowned at her slightly.

“Is there anyone who can look good?”

“Yes, of course.”

It was obvious what he was thinking, so I tried to hold back my smile and stroked his collar.

In order to reveal that he bought clothes on purpose, he tapped his shoulder,

The scent of perfume from the fluttering hem of the dress began to fill the room.

Since I’ve never been like this when I’m with you, maybe he thinks he’s meeting someone else.

However, I did not explain the misunderstanding.

All I could do was look at Irene, who was in a bad mood while smiling leisurely.

Her Irene’s eyes gradually narrowed, but all I could do was shrug her shoulder once.

If you think about it a little more, you will come to a conclusion on your own. I don’t have to tell you first.

“Who do you think I want to look good for?”

“…I don’t know. But, wasn’t it like this originally?”

“My lady.”

I opened my mouth with a slightly serious expression.

“There is only one person I want to look good in.”

“I wonder who that is.”

Seeing Irene answering bluntly, I felt like I would burst into laughter without even realizing it.

She sat down on the chair in front of Irene and met her eyes. If you ask who it is.

Well. At first, it didn’t seem like he had a good personality.

Often jealous, suspicious. I hate being with other women, and sometimes I get into weird delusions and feel bad about myself.

But if I say this, it will hurt again. He was a surprisingly tender person.

I pay a lot of attention to what others say and try to correct my behavior.

That’s probably why Irene, when I first met her, was so sharp.

I couldn’t hear a word that he said if he was okay, because no one cared about him.

But now I am there, and that alone has changed Irene in quite a few ways.

Like this, she sometimes pouted, sometimes laughed, and sometimes was shy.

Like everyone else, she, who was the most distant from this word, might have changed a lot just by acting like everyone else.

“If you ask me who it is, it must be the person in front of me.”

I wanted to watch a little more. No, until she closed her eyes, to be exact.

She wanted to be with him. That’s why she prepared, and maybe she’s been fighting until now.

Her heart pounded in fear that the box of rings in her arms would be discovered, but she smiled and looked at Irene.

He smiled casually and said something out of the ordinary.

“Can I borrow your time for a day?”

“…What does that mean?”

If you ask what it means, wouldn’t it be too obvious?

“I am asking you out on a date. I am talking to you, my lady.”

I think it’s probably the first time I’ve said this confidently, maybe that’s why.

Irene’s eyes widened at the moment when she was particularly flustered. Blue eyes trembled,

Soon, in contrast to her eyes, her lips stained red.

However, what came back instead of an answer was an awkward nod.

I just smiled broadly at the shy Irene.
