The Tyrant Mistook Me For A Companion

“So, you’re going to take them to the royal family?”

“That’s right.”

Edgar sighed at my words.

“What if the royal family doesn’t praise you for your services?”

“I must make sure they did. My father will go with me.”

“If they know you’re alive, the faces of the royal family will be worth seeing.”

Edgar’s sullen smile crept across his lips. I nodded and handed Edgar the medicine.

“Eat this and get up quickly.”

“…Did that guy give you this, too?”

“Again, again! Not that guy, Leon!”

“Yeah, that Leon.”

Edgar’s attitude of sticking the ruler to the end made my tongue flutter. There is no such thing as stubbornness.

“But what does the magic tower mean?”

“Leon has quite a lot of abilities. Well, we can tell just by looking at what happened to you.”

“What’s that thing on your wrist?”

Edgar grabbed my arm and looked around it and asked.

“It’s going to be a trend item soon. It’s like a pattern cover.”

“……Why are you wearing it?”

” Ah, I was wearing it for a demonstration”

But I couldn’t take it off. The red pattern that I drew hasn’t been erased yet.

“You’d better not get any closer to Duke Sen”

“Why? He’s a big client.”

“I’m not impressed”

“……Would you be?”

I nodded my head dryly, letting out Edgar’s words through one ear.

Seeing him say that, he seems to have recovered quite a bit.

“It was Delther who made you like that, right?”

“Well, that’s what it is.”

Edgar gritted his teeth. Perhaps the forgotten memory came to mind, but his expression showed life.

“Now, how do we use this?”

When I thought of Delther, who was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do, I naturally smiled.

* * *

I called Diria as soon as I woke up in the morning.

“What about the letter?”

“I sent it. I got a reply right away, and I think she will come today.”

I was going to invite Janice here right before entering the royal family.

When she goes back, I naturally plan to go with her.

Otherwise, it’s not bad for Delther to follow Janice.

“Oh, it’s nice today”

“Something seems to be fun.”

“It’s fun. Leon is here, and the Count has also woken up.”

“Oh yeah! And Mr. Verden sent you a letter.”

“Really?”

I opened the letter with joy.

And incredibly, I could see that a huge amount of orders were placed.

“……Wow, this is crazy.”

I think this is really a hit.

Edgar didn’t seem very happy with my business, but the result was good and he’ll have no choice but to do it.

I have no choice but to acknowledge my business ability.

A hum came out of nowhere.

“By the way, I really can’t erase this.”

“Still?”

“Yes…… that’s strange. It can’t last this long……is it?”

I tilted my head to the feeling of a different pattern from the picture I had drawn.

‘What is this, it seems real.’

I rubbed my wrist thoughtlessly. But something felt different.

“What’s the matter, miss?”

“Huh? Oh, no.”

What is it?

My mouth burned with unknown anxiety. My mouth feels dry and cracked.

After biting my lips, I tried to look okay.

“Are you all right? Then I’ll leave the accessories today.”

“Oh, no. I have to wear it.”

“What? Aren’t you uncomfortable?”

“It’s always comfortable to wear. Wouldn’t it be better to emphasize that?”

I smiled awkwardly and avoided looking.

“What is this? What is this!”

Somehow, I feel like there’s something wrong.

* * *

“My daughter causes a lot of problems.”

Edgar summoned me straight to the news of Janice, who was coming to the drawing-room.

“No, it’s necessary.”

“But if you used her as a promotion, how long are you going to use her?”

“Isn’t she pretty?”

“So, you’re going to ask.”

“As expected, you have no eyes to see.”

I crossed my arms with a pouty look on my face. Soon after, I glanced at Leon, who was next to me, and his expression was not good.

‘I guess he’s not happy.’

The pattern is appearing, so he might have felt the way she did. Why does Leon have a bitter look on his face?

Even if he doesn’t want her, he’ll love her. It wasn’t that I didn’t know his feelings.

I felt worse because I knew too well.

“But why did you bring that guy?”

“They get to know each other. I’ll be there  soon. Do you feel better if I’m doing well?”

I patted Edgar on the back and narrowed my brows.

“I thought we’d become quite close, but I guess not.”

Edgar’s face was subtly wrinkled at Leon’s words.

“Let him go first. I need to talk to you.”

“……Only Leon?”

“I don’t want to.”

Leon stood right behind me and refused at once. I was a little worried, too.

“If he doesn’t like it, send him back.”

Edgar’s words forced me to speak to Leon.

“Leon, I’m sorry. If you go ahead, I’ll be quick.”

“……Elle.”

“I’ll be there in a minute.”

Leon looked at my wrist and immediately nodded.

* * *

Only when Leon went out did Edgar’s mouth open.

“I don’t think Delther came. If that happens, I don’t need Janice, so send her back.”

“You don’t have to hate Janice”

She’s my cousin. I couldn’t finish my sentence.

‘Can I say that I know this? ‘

Maybe Edgar didn’t want me to know. So he must have been quiet all this time.

“Janice is innocent.”

Of course, in that sense, it was the same with Delther.

He was the one who killed me and tried to hurt my father, so now I have a clear reason to hate him.

“……I guess you know everything.”

“You’ve been asleep for quite a while. So, I had to know everything to lead the Velois family.”

“Well, what are you going to do? My daughter seems to have a pretty interesting plan.”

“First of all, we have to establish the status of the Velois family. It’s on the brink, but it hasn’t collapsed.”

In addition, there were a lot of words thanks to Edgar not showing up recently.

That had to be corrected first.

“So you should go with me. We have to show the health of the Velois family to the outside world.”

“Well, I’ll do that.”

More than I thought, Edgar obediently followed me. Lord Hessen raised his thumb to me with a satisfied face.

‘Sir Hessen seems to have persuaded him.’

For now, I had to go where Janice and Leon were.

I wondered what the two of them were talking about, and I wanted to know if the pattern appeared and they really fell in love.

I headed to the place where the two of them were with faster steps than usual.

* * *

“It’s been a long time since I saw you.”

“I saw you only a few days ago at the banquet.”

Leon narrowed his brows.

I came here at Elle’s request, but I was reluctant.

Janice’s gaze, which was staring at me, was burdensome, and I didn’t like that my heart kept changing without me knowing.

“I miss you every day. I keep thinking of Sir Leon…….”

Janice wriggled her hands and blurted the end of her speech.

She seemed to be looking at Leon’s reaction, but she seemed disappointed by his calm attitude.

“Do you hate me that much?”

“……There’s no reason to like you.”

“I see.”

Janice smiled lightly. But she had no intention of giving Leon up.

“I hate this pattern terribly. Even if I cut it out, it feels like a shackle and gives me goosebumps.”

A faint blue glow flashed in his eyes.

Even so, Janice did not avert her gaze and stared at the pattern on her wrist.

“I think this pattern is the key. To get me out.”

How can they have the opposite mind even though they have the same pattern.

Fate is indifferent, too.

“Sir Leon will soon be accustomed to it. You must love me, as does everyone.”

Janice touched Leon’s wrist and immediately reached out and grabbed his face.

Leon shuddered in the warmth.

I was shouting in my head that I should push her away, but my body wouldn’t follow me.

“Please…move your hand.”

Put it away.

Because I hate it so much.

Leon couldn’t finish his sentence. Because Janice’s lips overlapped on his lips.

Whoosh

By an unknown force Leon embraced Janice’s waist.

Thump, thump.

You have to love her. Because that’s your destiny.

Someone kept telling me that.

The door opened with a blind eye.

‘No, no! Now it is…!”

Despite Leon’s efforts, someone came in.

The one he didn’t want to show this kind of appearance stood firm at the door.

Elle, the only person Leon loves. She saw the scene.
