75 – Dessert

Rayel Tarden turned her head to Shael’s voice.

“⋯⋯Now, what?”

“Ajum⋯⋯.”

Before Sael could finish his words, she hurriedly approached Sael holding a cookie of hers.

She was a mini who gave me a cookie, and Shael who ate the cookie while she stopped talking.

An embarrassing situation. He told Duke Jespen in detail about Rayel Tarden’s eccentric personality.

While talking just before, I also noticed her personality.

So you shouldn’t let Sael fight with her.

Even if they are Azbel’s children who help with everything if they are of the same blood, Rayel Tarden has an eccentric personality.

She may not necessarily come to hate Sael, but he may end up playing a lot of pranks on her.

So I wanted to prevent their conflict.

As if he was unaware of my serious situation, Shael spoke with a strange pronunciation while chewing on a cookie.

“⋯⋯ People say, m.”

“⋯.”

Even so, he happily eats cookies. She seems to have forgotten about her earlier anger thanks to liking Cookie.

I was about to turn my head and talk to Rayel Tarden.

“⋯⋯.”

The words won’t come out. I immediately figured out why.

A Ring of Control that hums and trembles. It was Shael’s work. Sael made it impossible for me to talk to other people through the Ring of Control.

“⋯⋯What is it?”

Only words for Shael could come out of her mouth. Shael told me, sending her a smile.

“What is it? It’s a punishment.”

“Whatever you think, it is all a misunderstanding.”

Rayel Tarden wanted to see the Ring of Control. It was when I turned to Rayel Tarden to confirm that fact.

He sighed.

“⋯.”

Because she had already disappeared. He left Sael on me and left alone.

Clearing her thoughts about Rayel Tarden, she spoke to Shael.

“⋯⋯But isn’t this too much?”

You can’t even have a single conversation with someone of the opposite sex.

I didn’t have any reason to hate it, but I definitely needed to talk to the opposite sex.

A blessing meeting to be held soon. And Clie, whom you will meet there.

Of course I have to talk to Clie. If you leave her as it is, you won’t know how things will go.

One of the reasons to go to the Blessing Meeting was Clie.

So it was not a very good situation right now. I earnestly asked Shael.

“Take off the Ring of Control, please.”

“I hate it.”

Of course I would hate it. Because now in Shael’s eyes, I’ll look like a playboy. So, he needed a conciliatory plan to seduce Shael.

The thing Sael loves to death. Suggested it to Shael.

“I’ll get you some dessert.”

This is Shael, who loves my dessert to death. She thought, of course, that she would do my favor.

“No.”

My expectations were wrong. Shael shook her head resolutely. The glare at me also happened at the same time.

‘Now I’m more important than dessert.’

Although that fact is good…

This is the worst thing for now. A blessing meeting will be held soon. However, I cannot go to the Blessing Meeting in this state.

Because I have to talk to Clie. So, somehow, the ring of control must be released.

This time, he said it like a threat to Shael.

“Then I will use the Ring of Control.”

It meant to prevent Shael from talking to other men.

However, it was useless.

“Sure.”

“⋯.”

From the start, Sael hadn’t talked to men other than blood.

I was just amazed at Sael’s limited human relationship.

“Let’s go to the room.”

“I understand.”

For now, I followed Shael. For the rest of her time, she would have to somehow find a way to get the Ring of Control out.

* * *

Shael’s room. We sat facing each other. There are many desserts on the table.

It was a normal day.

Talk with Sael, and Sael eats the desserts I made.

However, the pressure I felt for Shael was different from usual.

“Please eat.”

He said while handing the dessert to Shael. It was quite a lot of dessert. Even Shael, who would inevitably eat all of my desserts, would be surprised at the amount.

No matter how much it is said that it is a dessert without harmful things to the body, there is a law. So until now, I’ve been giving Shael the desserts as much as possible, but…

Not as much as today. Because today was the day I needed to relieve Sael’s mood.

The Ring of Control must also be resolved, and the Blessing Society must also be addressed.

First of all, the blessing meeting came first rather than the ring of control.

I said to Shael who was eating dessert.

“Do you know that the Blessing of the Holy Kingdom will be held soon?”

“Yes, what about that?”

“I remember that you were very reluctant to attend the blessing meeting.”

I already remember going to the blessing meeting with Shael. I couldn’t even shout at Sael, and Sael had a bad personality.

Unsurprisingly, Shael at that time ignored all the events of the Blessing Meeting. So this time, Sael probably won’t want to go to the Blessing.

“So, I will go alone to the Blessing Meeting.”

Maybe you will meet Clie. She doesn’t know if she will meet the lord of the magic tower and the crown prince.

It’s not just them. I might even meet people who are friends with Clie, whom I don’t even know.

Because Clie, who is quick-witted, would have made friends with many people.

Moreover, it was the Blessing of the Holy Kingdom that Sael hated. The members of the Blessing Society must already hate Shael.

No matter how much we say that we are descendants of dukes⋯⋯.

Because their mental state was not normal. It would be more appropriate to call them fanatics rather than believers.

In addition, it is Clie, who has been equipped with vast holy power through the bracelet of holy power. He must have made friends with many believers.

I don’t know what those believers will do. Even if you don’t have power, you need to be careful.

I might think of a direction I’m not going, but…

It’s not easy. First of all, I had to meet Clie before the situation escalated.

If a battle breaks out with someone, I’ll be able to protect at least one piece of my body.

However, taking Shael with him was another matter. It was natural for Sael, who had recently learned magic, to be worried.

I waited for Sael’s words while pondering on that fact. She swallowed her cookie as Shael annoyed and opened her mouth.

“⋯Anyone wants.”

“Didn’t you hate the blessing meeting? So you don’t have to go.”

“Then don’t go either.”

That was what Shael said while eating dessert. She immediately answered Shael.

“I have some business to do, so I have to go.”

“What happened?”

I couldn’t answer. No matter how much I thought about it, there was no excuse I could give to Shael.

While the silence continued, Shael’s words were heard.

“Then I will go too.”

Shael raised his eyes as if expressing his firm intention. Even her mouth, which was eating dessert, had stopped.

Nodding her head, she said.

“I understand.”

She reluctantly agreed. It was because she could see her stubbornness to go to the Blessing Meeting, which would never change.

She also wanted to make Sael eat dessert comfortably.

She should have said something when Sael finished eating the dessert.

But then something amazing happened.

“I ate it all.”

“Did you say you ate everything?”

She must have given her dessert not too long ago ⋯⋯.

She comes back saying that Shael ate it all. She looked at her table at her words.

“⋯?”

Deserts that still remain. She hadn’t even eaten all of the cupcakes that Sael loved so much.

Even though I ate a little, it was difficult to find a dessert that I had finished eating. Even the untouched desserts are visible.

I bet Sael never left my dessert.

‘Is Shael full right now?’

I don’t think so. Rather, it was a hungry time. In the first place, if it were Sael, she would have eaten all of my dessert even if she was full.

I wondered if I had heard it wrong, so I asked Shael.

“There are still many desserts left.”

“⋯⋯Yes, what about that?”

“We also have desserts that have not been touched.”

Shael nods her head. So, knowing that, I meant to leave my dessert.

Even though there are untouched desserts.

“⋯.”

Actually, it is not a big deal that a noble lady leaves dessert. However, if that aristocratic lady was Sael, things would be different.

Because Sael really liked my dessert.

“Are you angry?”

Is she protesting that she won’t eat dessert because she said she would go alone to the Blessing?

Maybe it’s because of what happened with Rayel Tarden?

That’s probably not the case.

There’s no way Shael would give up dessert just because of that. She even agreed to go to the blessing meeting with her in the first place.

Shael answered my question.

“I’m not angry.”

“⋯.”

I looked at Shael’s face. An awkward look. Even so, he didn’t look angry.

It’s not like the dessert was tasteless.

She is Shael, who ate delicious desserts until just a moment ago. At first glance, she seemed to want to eat dessert even now.

‘Then what is it?’

I only have dessert left, but I’m worried.

I don’t even know why. It’s not that I’m angry, and it’s not that I don’t like dessert.

I’m not even hungry.

Unable to understand Sael’s inner thoughts. It was the first time she had come across it.
