Ep 2. Please pretend to be my lover

“Please get married.”

From early in the morning , the mother came into the room and started nagging. Arne carefully looked around in the surprise attack . The window was open. Since it is on the second floor , I was able to jump down enough.

“Arne, are you listening to your mother?”

How she knew Arne’s heart, her mother blocked the window with her own body. Arne’s attempt to escape this situation by fleeing was so briefly defeated.

” You know Ariel? They said they are getting married this time. He’s the count of the neighboring country. Mother went to see it , and the young man who will be the son – in law was very handsome. It was a pretty good marriage , and that’s enough to look at in the family. It’s a wedding next month.

“Ah …..”

From early in the morning , I suddenly asked what kind of marriage was , and there was a reason. In addition , the mother , who was drugged by the news of the marriage of her mother’s friend’s children and the continued pride , roasted Arne sweetly. The pinnacle of the military power of the Western Empire , a swordsmanship genius , a rescue hero , and a sword master who gained a sword at the age of 3 and reached a level at an early age. Arne has all sorts of flashy titles , but in the family , it’s just an unmarried nuisance.

“All the young girls your age are already married. This mother wants you to have children and live happily with your husband Soon. Oh! Love , how good are you!”

I wanted to respond to that good love , mother , and a lot , but then the nagging will increase by an hour. Arne shut her mouth tight. Her mother , who had been lamenting alone for a long time , quickly turned to Arne.

“Arne , do you know what everyone calls you?”

There was no way to know. Arne wasn’t interested in what she was called , but she was overwhelmed by her mother’s momentum. In this case , it was best to match it appropriately.

” Sword Master?”
” no . ”
” Then , the rescue hero?”
” no!”
” then … Crazy dog?”

The nickname you ever wanted to say. My mother’s facial expression changed at once when I picked up the nickname that was given to me when I was going to be annoying. It seemed to be the correct answer.

“I got it right.”

When Arne smiled with pride , the Duchess ‘ expression changed horribly.

“That’s something to be proud of , you’re not just a mad dog , you’re an empire mad dog ?!”
“What are you doing ? They say that the emperor swears at the back.”
” What is it like?”

The Duchess , who blamed Arne as usual , soon began to shudder. The Duchess started crying when she thought of Arne. Why did my daughter become this way ? Arne tried to run away when her mother screamed , but when she started crying , it was very sinister. Usually it was because there was no memory of this kind of tears coming back in a good direction for Arne himself. Not surprisingly , my mother’s grief began.

” Arne , does this make sense ? How old are you , and no family is proposing how ! My pride is injured and for you no matter how low – priced the family , if the other person is okay, I was thinking of allowing it , but I don’t even have that! Could this be?”
” This can be happen.”
” I can’t! “

The duchess got angry at Arne’s casual answer. Arne , who was struck by a back, was surprised for some reason in pain. Even the Sword Master’s back hurts the mother’s hand.

“Even if you try to put in a marriage conversation , everyone has had the experience of being beaten to death by you , so hearing your name makes a game!”

“Tsss…The weak guys.”

“Now is the time to say that!”

At the age of 19 , Arne blocked her ears at the boring marriage that began after she became an adult. Arne knew that marriage is a particularly important issue among aristocratic families. In particular,Arne , who might die on the battlefield , was in a hurry to marry. Of course , that wasn’t the only reason.The Duchess was worried that Arne would grow old and die alone as an old virgin. Of course I agree with Hosaga’s words that if you have the ability , you don’t have to marry , but I still wanted my child to meet a good half and marry and live well. Besides , one more thing.

” My wonderful child is flawed for never getting married!”

Everything is perfect , but Arne lacks one thing. And I couldn’t stand the presumptuous remarks of other noble ladies who were secretly dismissing them.

” This mom wants you to be loved .”

The duchess grabbed Arne’s hands tightly and cried out. Arne suffered from her mother’s love attack.

” Woman’s happiness , something like that?”

“No , everyone feels happy is different , right ? If it’s your behavior to live like you , you have to live the way you want. However , I don’t like that you don’t even try to date.”

” Dating …….”

Arne thought .

” We will meet someday.”
” Then grow old and die !”
The Duchess , who slapped one more on her back , calmly took a deep breath. Arne wanted to run away from this place.

” The Emperor’s Majesty , who is worried about your marriage , has decided to marry you.”

Arne , who was struggling to run away quietly , opened her eyes wide at the sudden news.

” who?”
“The Grand Duke Ternewgen.”

I didn’t know.

“Mom thinks it’s a good marriage. It’s a good family , and the other person is also very good. Now, what do you think is this mother’s last request?”
” Hate. “

Arne , who refused to cut a knife , was caught for two weeks like that and roasted her soul sweetly. Eventually , Arne , who couldn’t stand , surrendered.

” Okay . I’m getting married ! Please stop !”

~~~ Arne checked herself in a dress in a mirror after a long time. The fluttering hem of the dress dragged the floor. Inside , she wore underpants for ease of movement and wore a dagger , but on the outside , she was a natural lady. In particular , the delicate lines cheated on people to look innocent. It was all made up by my mother. For the confrontation that will be today !

” Why don’t you still have to look at the face of the person who will be your husband?”

Before marriage, meeting place. This is the trace of her parents’ somehow trying to make Arne look like a normal lady. Arne made a decision while looking at herself in the mirror.

“I can’t even marry me quietly.”

Parents ‘ endless persuasion …. Eventually I heard a white flag because of the annoying nagging that was packaged as, but when I thought about it again , it was crazy. Married to a foreigner ? Married and going abroad ? A distant northern empire that takes more than a month for both it and an airship ? If I knew this in advance , I would not have given up even if my parents couldn’t sleep properly at night , couldn’t comfortably eat three or three meals , and couldn’t drink alcohol at will.

“My freedom … “

I hate being bound. Even if I didn’t get married , I’ve lived comfortably and well until now. People who have everything don’t have what they want.

“It would be useless to say that you are not married anymore.”

Then there is one conclusion left.

“You just have to make the other person reject me because they don’t like me.”

And Arne knew the fastest way to do that.

“You can flip it over.”

Arne finally arrived at the meeting point and had no choice but to revise her simple plan to overturn. The reason was simple.

“Is your mother with you today too … ”
“Of course. Soon your father will come with your Majesty as well.”

Defense of the mother’s iron wall. Ciklion IV and his parents face down in the place?

“It is an act of suicide.”

Everyone will be surprised to know, but Arne had that level of discernment. Propping alone and proposing in the presence of everyone has a different status and honor. Arne quickly rolled his head as he was dragged to the meeting place , like a cow being dragged to a slaughterhouse. A way to mess up this place even if you don’t spill it yourself. Could there be such a thing?

” No , there is.”

It was less than expected than the first operation , but there was still one way to turn the confrontation into a ditch. Arne quickly looked around. The meeting place was arranged in a salon owned by the imperial family. The duchess were just talking to the salon’s manager. Arne quickly escaped from the spot with her swift movements sweeping the battlefield. After a while , the Duchess , who had finished talking with the manager , looked around.

“Are you ? Arne ? No , where did he go ? Has anyone seen Arne?”

” no.”
” I haven’t seen it either .”

All of the salon’s attendants , including the manager , shook their heads.

” Did you see it ?”
” No , I haven’t seen it either.”

After hearing the conversations of the attendants , the Duchess quickly noticed what had happened. Arne ran away. The duchess was full of anger and clenched her fists.

” Arne …… ! “

~~~ At that time , Arne was running away as the Duchess expected. Arne leaves the salon building by moving to the blind spot with a unique quick movement in order not to make as many eyewitnesses as possible. If Arne’s lieutenants saw it , they would clap and shout that talent was wasted , but they weren’t there. How did the female car salon building come out , and Arne soon ran into the next problem.

“How can I get out of here quickly?”

If it were someone else , you would not notice Arne’s escape for a long time. But who is the opponent? The mother who gave birth , raised and raised her. Arne had to rush away from this salon building. But I wasn’t sure how to get away quickly. Hence , because it was a street dealing only with high – ranking nobles , he didn’t even go to a van. I was walking recklessly, but at this speed , it was clear that my mother would soon find out.

” What should I do?”

Then I saw a carriage standing in front of Arne’s eyes. At the same time , a flashing thought came to mind.

” Yes , let’s rent a carriage for a moment.”

Wouldn’t it be better to borrow it well and return it safely? Arne made a simple conclusion and moved quickly. Arne panicked after opening the door of the carriage , which had stopped as if the owner had left it for a while . The owner was in the wagon.

“………”
“………”

The platinum hair shone dazzlingly in the sunlight from the window. Arne was silent for a moment at the man’s beautiful appearance.
Even in the Western Empire , it was a beautiful beauty that could be counted. The moment he said he was sorry and tried to run away, his eyes turned to the man’s eyes.

“You see it again like this.”
“…….. ? “

Arne tilted his head at the man’s attitude , pretending to know. I didn’t know a man like this.

” The thief cat. ”
” Ah . “

There was no big man in the Western Empire who called himself that way. Except for only one person.

” then … … What if the black hair mask?”

The man laughed at Arne’s back door. It was in an interesting shape. I was confused for a moment. The man who used to be black hair became platinum today.

“What is your real hair color?”

Arne was relieved that he had met someone he knew no matter what. And then , the salon building became noisy , and attendants began to appear.

” My mother noticed.”

If you are caught like this here , you will be caught right away. With an urgent heart , Arne first boarded the carriage.

“I’ll excuse you for a moment.”

Shinse – ji behaved as politely as possible from the standpoint and hid himself in the carriage. As soon as he got into the carriage , Cassian was interested to see Arne lowering herself and looking out the window.

” I think it’s in trouble. What’s going on ? Lady ?”
“There is … ”
“It’s like lady , a nobleman who ran out because he didn’t want to marry anywhere.”

” It was a joke , but Arne couldn’t answer because he was stabbed. Cassian was delighted with the honest feelings revealed in his facial expressions.

“Is there anything I can do to help ? I’ll help.”
“Are you really going to help ?”
” Gladly.”

Arne wasn’t a person who trusted someone he had never seen before. But I wasn’t in a position to cover up something , and above all , I thought this man would be useful. And now that he failed to overthrow , he needed something that would actually scare the other person.

“Please pretend to be my lover.”

Arne asked.

” just for today. ”
A surprise passed in Cassian’s eyes. His lips rose fascinatingly.

“good.”

The man who knew how to refuse was willing to accept the crazy offer ….. Arne looked out the window and fell in agony.

“Is this exactly the fact that you met a fox while trying to avoid a tiger ?”

Something went smoothly , but I wasn’t happy at all. Arne glanced at Cassian , who seemed to have no idea , and then became serious again.

” Where are you going ?”
“A place with a lot of people.”
“……… ? “

Arne tilted his head at the simple answer. Cassian smiled and added a word to the figure in need of explanation.

“I’m going on a date.”
“Date ?”

Arne , who heard an unexpected word , crippled the impression. Cassian with a smiling smile explained that even that appearance was interesting.

” Didn’t you ask me to be my lover?”
” I did . ”
” Wouldn’t a lot of people see me as my lover?”
” uh …… is it …… ? ”
” That’s why Lady’s partner will also be withholding the marriage after hearing this news.”

Arne , who doesn’t know that the person in front of her is her marriage partner , nodded at Cassian’s flashy words. When I listened to it , it seemed that all the words of Cassian were correct. Looking at the strangely active Cassian , Arne thought that it was rather strange , but he did not think deeply. Then the carriage stopped.

” Come on , let’s get off.”

First , Cassian got out of the carriage and reached for Arne. Arne gazed at the hand briefly .

“How long was it to take the escort and get it off ?”

If I think about it , it’s been a while since I was riding a carriage. Because I always rode Sirius , the Rottweiler. Looking at it , it’s been a while since I wore a dress. The first place they went to was a tea house that sells delicious desserts that are popular among ladies these days.

” This is a famous dessert.”

Arne seriously looked at the dessert. When he was 3 years old , he grabbed his sword and heard a genius when he was 7 years old. He wore auras from the age of 10 , and when he was 17 , he first went to war. On the other hand , Arnega Cassian , who seriously observes desserts like some serious academic project , was very interesting. The more I saw it , the more interesting it was. There was something fundamentally different from the spirits he knew. At the moment I was wondering what it was , one of the tea houses became noisy.

” Look , it’s Arne. ”
” What are you talking about , why come Arne – sama here ? Ugh . You are really Arne! ”
” It’s Arne ! ”
“Look , it’s Arne – nim !”

As it is a famous tea house , there were many ladies who visited. Who in the Western Empire doesn’t know Arne ? In particular, Arne was an object of admiration for young children.

” Arne – nim is cool today.”
” But who is that man ? Are you a lover ? ”
” It makes sense , just someone you know. Are you not from the Templars ?”
“Look at it for the first time. Very cool. Who is it ?”

Arne tried a bite of a dessert and sparkled his eyes at the taste of the sweets.

” Shall we go and say hello ?”
” Let me introduce you to Arne later… “

The smile disappeared from the expression of Cassian who heard the voices of the young children. And I looked at Arne , who was completely interested in dessert. There was some fresh cream on Arne’s mouth.

” Lady ”
” Yeah ? ”
” Do you know the fastest way to be rumored to be a lover ?”
“I don’t know?”

Arne blinked his eyes. Cassian’s smile deepened.

” Shall I let you know?”

Isn’t that what you want to know the most ? Arne nodded at the tempting offer. At that moment , Cassian grabbed Arne’s wrist. And….. I wiped the fresh cream off Arne’s lips.

“uh ?”

I just wiped off the fresh cream on my lips , but the feeling was strange. Cassian , smiling while making eye contact , licked the whipped cream on her finger.

” Sure , it’s so delicious that it is rumored.”

The reaction erupted elsewhere. Arne was still unable to grasp the situation by herself in the basket of young girls screaming as if what they saw with their own eyes right now. What is happening now ? Cassian whispered drowsy , looking into Arne’s vague eyes.

” This is the fastest way to be rumored to be a lover , Lady.”

Arne was quietly astonished.

“I guess you’re crazy , this person.”
