Ep 9.

Honey, honey, you!

A low and gentle voice. However , it was strangely cold somewhere.

‘ No. surely. ‘

I don’t want to believe it and then , after a small denial. Arne , who was hardened , turned slowly. I looked back like a wooden doll , and then Cassian and her eyes met face to – face , and I was amazed.

‘ caught ‘

Cassian smiled tenderly. It’s a bright and warm smile that seems to melt the snow piled up in winter ……. But why do you think the winter breeze is blowing so suddenly here ?

” How can you be alone in a corner like this , wife? ”

” uh … that … ”

Somehow , there was something heavy in the title of the wife. Arne’s eyes glanced at Craven once. Craven was taking the attitude of a perfect maid. I didn’t understand what it was like to be such a real maid but Arne tried to focus on avoiding the current situation anyway.

” Well , I mean …”

At that time , Cassian’s gaze turned to Craven. Reflexively , Arne was nervous. A sharp gaze glanced over him. Craven was standing with his hands finely assembled. As she shrouded Cassian’s eyes , Arne sweated cold without knowing it.

‘ Is it also caught …’

It was when Arne , who thought that such a disguise couldn’t work from the beginning , looked upset.

” It’s the first time I’ve seen you.”

” Yeah. So , how did this happen … Yeah ? ”

‘ Does that look like a maid ? ‘

Arne was embarrassed almost chewed her tongue. Craven greeted Cassian politely. Since it was the greeting of a so perfectly trained maid , Arne doubted her eyes at the moment saying , ‘ What have I seen ? ‘ Cassian smiled gently as he looked at Arne blinking her eyes in surprise.

” Because she doesn’t seem to be a maid of the Grand Duke. ”

” That … This is the maid I brought. Perhaps.”

” I see . ”

Really? Are you going over like this ? Arne was constantly suspicious of a situation that couldn’t be trusted even while watching and glancing at Craven. Meanwhile , Craven was pleased with his disguise. As Arne laughed awkwardly ‘ahaha’ and sweated coldly. Craven , who noticed first greeted me with a dazzle.

” Then ,her majesty grand duchess and his majesty grand duke , I will withdraw. ”

” uh ? Yes. ”

Craven , who perfectly replicated the greetings of the maids he had learned while infiltrating the castle in the last few days , ended up saying hello and took away. And Arne , who was left alone , smiled at Cassian. As Arne smiled lightly , Cassian’s eyes which had followed Craven’s back turned to Arne and became friendly. As the distance between them became somewhat distant , she exhaled the breath that Craven had endured. It was a short moment , but Craven and Cassian’s eyes met earlier. Craven , who thought of his sharp eyes as if piercing everything inside became creepy and trembled. Craven tilted his head because he looked like a completely different person from the sloppy look he saw in front of Arne.

” Did I see it wrong … ? ”

~~~

‘ It’s gone. ‘

When the suspicious maid disappeared completely out of sight , Cassian was able to smile comfortably. Arne , who seemed to not know anything , continued to be puzzled with a strange look , but now a true smile flowed out.

‘ It’s cute. ‘

It was cute for Arne to see Cassian’s attention. A person who seems to have lived without noticing anything in his life notices himself …

It was because of Craven , but Cassian didn’t know it. Cassian , who smiled brightly so that Arne could be relieved , approached her. When He heard the report that she had successfully resolved the little trouble between the maids , Cassian suddenly wanted to see Arne. It wasn’t that there were any doubts about the problem Arne had touched. I just wondered what the hell was she thinking about it.

‘ Isn’t it a cat that doesn’t care about others. ‘

So I came to my curiosity , but as I watched the maids I was looking for , I had an ominous thought …..

‘ Isn’t he an assassin? ‘

Cassian fell into thoughts as he recalled a little – sized maid who was endlessly favorable to Arne. It seemed like he was disguised , but the purpose was unknown. That’s probably why Arne was embarrassed.

‘ Is he secretly talking with Arne? ‘

At first glance , I heard a quarreling voice and came in a hurry , but it didn’t seem like a big deal. He was talking with Arne and he wasn’t even hostile, so he didn’t seem to have come to harm Arne in the first place.

‘ Shall we catch and kill later ? ‘

Still , Arne was watching Cassian’s expression for the first time. In the meantime , strangely annoying that Arne was near the window. When Cassian reached out , Arne grabbed Cassian’s hand without knowing anything. As he brought Arne into his arms , Cassian’s eyes became cold. The half – open window behind Arne strangely disturbed his feeling.

‘ Shall I put a grate on all the windows at all ……. ‘

Arne already gave excuses that she had no intention of committing suicide as much as her fingernails , but that’s it and this is it.

“……..? ”

Arne , who instinctively noticed that his appearance had changed in an instant looked at him but in Arne’s eyes , he was just looking at her and smiling sweetly .

‘ What ? ‘

” Aren’t you angry ? ”

“Angry ? ”

” Yeah. Somehow I thought you was angry … ”

As Arne blinked , Cassian immediately recalled when he first arrived at this place . Did you notice the expressions and signs that were distracted for a while ……. Cassian laughed happily as he saw Arne tilting her head with a look that she didn’t know anything. In front of sensitive cats , he thought he had to be a little more careful.

” Were the two of you having a secret story alone with your maid ? ”

” Yeah ? No. Absolutely not. ”

Arne stubbornly denied the attitude of telling a secret story no matter what. Arne , who can’t lie , was cute , so Casian couldn’t hold back his laughter. Looking at the smiling Cassian , Arne said that she was absurd ……

” Yes. okay.”

Arne was remarkably relieved by Cassian’s affectionate lies that followed. It was the first time that the emotions were revealed honestly with expressions like this. A person who is fundamentally different from snobs who wear hypocrisy masks and seek to eat each other like beasts.

‘ Do you like it. ‘

I haven’t watched it long , but Arne was born upright. A unique aura that only those who see good things and grow up right in goodwill can have. The transparent clarity which seems to have never been used upside down attracted Cassian. As it is expressed , the kind of human being who seems to be in a completely different world from himself. I want to protect it and I want to defile it. Cassian’s smile deepened deeply in the ambivalence that quietly swirled from the very deep inside. You didn’t have to do anything yourself. Because the we have to go anyway . In the trash can of enormous desire named Imperial Palace. I was looking forward to seeing if I would protect her at that place , or if he would use dirt and get dirty with her . Still , if it’s this king , I hope you can endure it for a long time. This is the first time I like a human being.

“………..? ”

Arne , who can’t even guess what Cassian thinks while looking at him , just tilted her head looking at Cassian’s smile. What was important to Arne right now wasn’t something like Cassian’s idea. Arne , afflicted with the feeling of destroying her common sense , finally took courage.

” Hey , you know. ”

“……….? ”

” I mean that maid … ”

The moment Cassian’s eyes subsided , Arne asked.

” Do she look normal ? ”

In a moment , Cassian’s eyes changed . She was a maid from the Western Empire , so she wouldn’t be suspicious , but I noticed that it was weird at all . Arne was different even though she grew finely like a flower in a greenhouse . You noticed that .

” I do not know. Do you have any reason to ask so ? ”

” No , a little …… I say this , but isn’t it a little masculine ? Muscles are like this , right ? It’s big too. ”

” I’m not sure because I see such maids often. There is one of the imperial castles.It’s rude to doubt your gender just by looking at your appearance. ”

” that’s … Again … ”

The words Cassian said were so correct that Arne had nothing to say. Anyway , I think I’m glad he couldn’t find Craven disguise, but I feel like something is lost.

‘ The disguise works ? Really ? ‘

No matter how much I look at it. It was weird. Arne , no matter how much she thought about it , was groaning because she couldn’t understand Craven’s disguise.Or , am I weird …….. Cassian just wanted Arne to take care of whatever it was , but he didn’t want Arne to know. So I was deliberately pretending not to know , but Arne couldn’t tell. In the midst of deepening misunderstandings … As the sun got longer , sunlight poured down the castle’s wide window. As soon as everything sparkled golden , Arne’s red eyes were deeply embedded in Cassian’s view. Red eyes , shining redder than the summer sun.

” I thought about it before , but it’s beautiful eyes. ”

” Yeah ? ”

At Cassian’s words , Arne opened her eyes round. Arne was surprised at the first hearing.

” Really ? ”

” Why would I lie ? ”

” Everyone was afraid of me saying that they were the eyes of the slayer. ”

Arne was stunned by a compliment she had never received. After all , Cassian looked like a strange person somewhere. I thought it was weird from my first meeting , but … … .

‘ You’re handsome , but it seems like you’re missing something. ‘

Are you serious about these beautiful eyes ?

” I am serious. ”

Cassian replied , as if looking into Arne’s heart. Cassian folded his eyes and laughed. I caught my heart , why wouldn’t it be unpleasant ? Something tickled , Arne blinked blankly in the feeling of tickling herself. It was never a bad mood. The sinister red – eyed slayer. Executioner of Lewell’s. It’s been something I’ve always heard since I was a kid. Amidst people who are surprised by eye contact , Arne knew from a very young age that she had strange eyes. Even her one – of a – kind sisters accused these eyes of being bloody and cursed when they were fighting. Of course , after that , they was beaten without fail. Although she has long reigned as the guardian of the Western Empire with her natural innate strength , the people of the Lewellgosa family have always been treated as monsters cursed by their blood – red eyes and kept their distance from the general public. No matter how young you were , even you were a child of the emperor ( the emperor’s brother ) or even if you were an imperial family , you couldn’t escape the horror of that gaze.

‘ Well , it doesn’t matter. ‘

I didn’t know what others thought of me . If there is a dispute , it will be smashed , if not , it will only be ignored . Because of this , Arne had never been particularly hurt or distressed. It was just a little boring . The red eyes are something unusual .

” Since I was young , everyone was afraid of making eye contact with me , so no one looked straight into my eyes. ”

” I see. ”

As he got used to being hurt , he couldn’t take his eyes off Arne , who seemed rather embarrassed and Cassian agreed.

” The kind of curse that comes down to Lewell’s house ? It was the same , so it was more famous. Usually , only one person is born at a time. ”

” It turns out that my mother – in – law was blond and green. ”

” My mother resembles her grandmother. ”

” Then your grandfather ? ”

” Yeah. ”

Arne nodded.

” My grandfather and uncle are the sword masters. ”

Thanks to this , Rosaria , Duchess of Brillhit , became the world’s strongest lady whose father , younger brother , and children were all swordmasters. Just touch the Duchess and the three Swordmasters pop out , so naturally , the real world of the West Empire became the Duchess of Brillhit. Although two of them went on an adventure and were absent.

” Is your uncle , the one who took the Cataclysm Dragon who awoke 30 years ago and ended the war with the Eastern Union that took place 10 years ago.”

” Ah , um … ”

It is true that my uncle is a dragon slayer , but it was Arne , who was 16 at the time , ending the war with the Eastern Union. Arne looked far away. Now it was a misunderstanding that I had received and liberated myself , but every time I heard it , it was absurdg.

‘ Eastern kingdom guys , how far have you spread this rumor ? …. ‘

It’s unfair that they’ve been lost by a girl who hasn’t even had blood on their heads , but even the humans of the Eastern Union said they couldn’t believe the truth because they were a girl ( ? ). All the bullshit guys sent to the world with a single blow in a one – on – one match , but was that so ? The guys who denied the reality of saying that it couldn’t be a woman and were winning mentality spread rumors at will. So , without Arne’s knowledge , everyone says it was her uncle’s work. Still , it was okay because the leaders of the Western Empire knew all the truth , but the problem was the ordinary imperialists. Due to these circumstances , Arne was a guardian of the empire and a guardian whose face was never known. Of course , the person concerned did not mind the situation , saying it was bothersome.

” uncle …….”

Arne nodded , thinking of Gerhan.

” He’s a good person. ”

” Is that the end ? ”

” What more do you need ? ”

” This is to…. ”

At an overly simple impression , Cassian burst into laughter without knowing it. As Cassian laughed , Arne pondered what she had done wrong. I don’t think there is.

” Hey , Your Majesty … ”

At once , Arne’s awkward title calling for herself caught Cassian’s eyes.

” Please call me honey. ”

” Yeah ? Suddenly ? That’s a little …”

” Then you are honey ? ”

” Some of that too … ”

“Even though we are married now ? ”

Arne endured , striving to turn away from the blue – eyed staring at herself. The sudden appearance of affection was unfamiliar , so I couldn’t put it in my mouth.

” you….. ”

” uh ……. ”

” Honey……. ”

” Ugh …….”

Seeing Arne in agony , Cassian rejoiced. Arne finally noticed that she was being teased and looked at Cassian as if protesting.

” you ……!? ”

“……..? ”

” From now on , I will call my wife by her name. Please call me by my name too. ”

As Cassian smiled gently , Arne had no time to refuse.

” Can you say it ? ”

When Cassian called for the name as if urging , Arne felt strange even though it was the name she always heard. Tickle something I’m just calling his name , so why am I so embarrassed ? Forcing to ignore the burning sensation of her face , Arne opened her mouth , barely moving.

” Ca ……….ssian ? ”

” Again. Now say it. ”

” Casian ……… ”

” Yeah, Well done. ”

As Cassian praised her.. He stroked her head.

I was wondering if I should be angry at treating them as children , but Arne and Cassian’s eyes met. When Cassian laughed again , Arne stopped getting angry because it became obscure. I don’t know why , but when I was with this person , I seemed to keep forgetting my own flow. Arne saw Cassian with a thought that came to mind while thinking about what that meant.

” By the way , is there any reason for you to look for me ? ”

It was late to ask , but for some reason , Arne felt that he had something to say. And the premonition was right. Cassian laughed again.
