The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

40 – Dinner Party 3

The dictionary definition of dinner party meant a simple banquet.

The dinner party for high-ranking nobles was more than just a banquet, it was a place to announce contracts and future directions.

‘That’s why, at a dinner party, I usually invite people who are close to me or people who are or are planning to become key figures in my power.’

In my case, I felt somewhat uncomfortable because I was not included in all of these things.

I was sipping a drink at a dinner party a few days after that day.

I felt that the attention of those around me was excessively focused on me.

‘… Even if he had been an ordinary nobleman, it would have been quite a hot topic, but now that the youngest son of the Lercier family, who is not an ordinary nobleman, is standing out in the open.’

How should they accept this?

Furthermore, it seemed like he was trying to figure out what kind of stance to take.

I am acting relaxed, thinking that I can hear the sound of my head rolling all the way, but I hear Delia’s voice from far away.

“Derndern!”

Starting from last time, he started giving me names in succession, and now he seems to like it and keeps calling me that way.

I looked at Delia like that and nodded her head.

Delia smiled brightly and hurried towards me.

‘… ‘It’s definitely pretty.’

I always thought it was pretty, but when I took it and decorated it, I realized that it was definitely pretty even more.

I am laughing to myself as I see people around me, regardless of age or gender, staring blankly at Delia.

Delia clings close to me and whispers.

“Woof.”

Even in a place like this, you’re just wandering around?

The moment I heard those words, I automatically tried to pull my cheek.

After enduring so many eyes watching, Delia continues her story to me with an expression that says she did it.

“Today’s clothes look great on you.”

“I see.”

“Yes. “As expected, the proportions are good, so that kind of suit suits you well.”

Delia looked at me with a smiling expression, and then something seemed to come to her mind.

He carefully grabbed my somewhat disheveled tie and adjusted its position as he spoke.

“Because I’m doing this. “Don’t they look just like a married couple?”

“…… “

This is a difficult question to answer.

I don’t know how to answer, so I keep my mouth shut.

Delia slowly lowers her hand, saying, ‘It’s a joke, a joke.’

“Then let’s enjoy today to the fullest. “I’ve specially ordered additional dishes from the chef for you that I think you’ll like, so I’m sure you’ll like them a lot.”

With those words, Delia walks away from me with a smile in her eyes.

I slowly leaned against the wall as I watched a large crowd gather around Delia the moment she left my side.

‘The Herdi family.’

In the case of ambiguous noble families, there were frequent cases of enmity with each other.

When the position was clearly established, most people stayed friendly rather than fighting.

‘There’s no need to fight.’

There were many cases where ambiguous people bit the other party for their own gain or for their own position.

In the case of the Lercie and Herdi families, instead of benefiting from biting each other, they suffered severe losses.

There is no need to touch each other… No, to be exact, they were living well together, avoiding each other.

‘That’s why he didn’t show either hostility or favor.’

No one can come close, just looking at me.

As if he had realized this situation, the head of the Herdi family took the initiative to greet me.

“Is the prospective son-in-law here?”

He seemed quite happy that I had come, and approached me in a very generous voice.

He takes a seat nearby and continues talking to me.

“To be honest, I didn’t think you would come, but I really appreciate you coming.”

I looked at him quizzically, and he smiled brightly and continued his story.

“Isn’t that right? Marriage is the grave of life… “I thought you wouldn’t come to something like this, since it looks like you don’t like being tied down.”

I came here because I was not an ordinary noble and there was no need to cause trouble by breaking my promise to the head of a famous family.

He smiled because there was no need to break the mood.

He smiled at me and talked to me.

“So, what do you think of Delia?”

He probably came here in person to say this.

I paused for a moment, not knowing what answer to give to that statement.

He continues talking to me in a calm voice.

“This is truly a child who was raised with great care.”

As I nodded silently, he took a sip of the wine he was holding and smiled bitterly.

“I can’t even hold my daughter properly because I’m afraid she’ll fly away when the wind blows or she’ll go out if I hold her. “It feels good and strange to already have a son-in-law like you.”

“…… “

… I really don’t know what to say about this.

From the head of the household, I was just a thief trying to steal the daughter I raised as gold and jade.

‘The problem is that the thief’s specifications are too good.’

This is because I could see her saying this mixed with the thought that she was going to get married someday and that it would be better to just send her to me.

When I heard those words, I was just sipping my drink and nodding.

He must have come to his senses and put down the wine after saying ‘Ignore it.’

“Well, I don’t know how the relationship will continue. “I hope we can continue our relationship for as long as possible.”

“Yes.”

When I nod my head, he smiles brightly, says he’ll just leave, and leaves immediately.

I am looking at the back of the head of the Herdia family.

Delia came back one day and spoke to me with a bright smile.

“What did you two talk about?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Besides he didn’t say anything, my dad looked quite glum… “

It didn’t seem like there was much difference to me, but it didn’t seem to be the case in Delia’s eyes.

I was silently looking away while listening to Delia’s words.

Suddenly, Delia must have remembered something, and she grabbed the hem of my clothes and started talking.

“Dern derndern. It’s so noisy and stuffy here… Let’s go outside.”

The name keeps increasing.

I nodded, feeling burdened by the increasing attention from those around me.

She led me slowly, saying, ‘I know a good place.’

*

The garden of Herdia’s family was characterized by its splendor, unlike that of the Lercier family.

When I was looking at the garden decorated with all kinds of decorations, I thought to myself, I must have a lot of money.

Delia talks to me while picking up nearby flowers.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Well… Ahahahaha. “I’m a little embarrassed because I’m trying to say something seriously.”

She quickly shook her head and held out her hand.

She spoke as if she started spinning around me and then gave up.

“… No, just ignore it. “I think it’s still early.”

What on earth are you trying to say?

Thinking that I had no idea what Delia was thinking, I sat down on the bench near her and slowly opened her mouth.

“Then let me ask the opposite question. Delia, why do you want to do magic modification so much?”

“Uh… huh?”

It is a common saying among wizards that they will become slaves as long as they modify their magic.

If we were to compare it to the Earth, it was a statement close to an expression of will: ‘If you let me succeed, I will hand over my soul to the devil.’

I really want to say it, but it’s just something I don’t want to say.

‘Delia is so obsessed with her renovation that she really wants to sell it.’

I asked him what the reason was.

Delia blinks her eyes and looks at me, and then she talks to me with a blank expression.

“… “You’re the first person to ask me that.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Even though I showed it off every time, everyone just pretended to do it and ignored it. “She didn’t wonder why.”

After saying those words, she looked at me intently.

She talks to me while brushing the side of her hair behind her ear.

“Are you so curious about why I’m obsessed with magic modification?”

When I nodded her head lightly, Delia seemed to like my reaction and smiled brightly.

“Umm… What should I do? Should I tell you or not?”

She then hummed her tune and gently rubbed her legs, then as if she had decided, she spoke to me.

“Because I want to have fun with you today. “I’ll tell you more about that later.”

“That’s right.”

“Yes. No matter what you hear, it’s not much of a story. “I don’t want to make you worry, so let’s just have fun today rather than talking about things like that.”

Delia said, ‘That’s because it’s a dinner party! ‘You understand, right?’

I put the flower I picked up earlier in my front pocket and smiled brightly.

When the flower is placed on my clothes, the sweet scent of the flower fills my nose.

I was satisfied with the scent, which was better than I expected.

Delia stretches and speaks as if she is feeling refreshed.

“Then please take care of me in the future. Dern.”

I looked at her smiling face and nodded her head.
