The first few months were a bit busy.

Well, even though I was busy, I wonder if I was as busy as Amelia.

Stealing Diane was easier than I thought.

Count Hoover was incredibly busy in many ways.

As a result, he was stigmatized as the person who ruined the engagement ceremony with the royal family, and he worked hard to take off that image. And in order to do that, he needed someone to overturn that crime.

As if there were no blood or tears, Count Hoover handed the object over to Diane.

“It didn’t go well.”

Amelia said, laughing as if it were absurd.

“No matter how you look at it, the perpetrator is the eldest son of author Gavin Nam, and the reason he was able to harm him is because Count Hoover looked after him. I know he has no choice. Passing the baton to someone other than his own daughter will only get glares. Because I will receive it.”

It would be unreasonable to pass the baton to Adele, because the person who was truly dangerous in that incident was Adele.

As it happened, two women from the Jeonpyeong aristocracy were discovered in the mansion of author Gavin Nam, and it was almost certain that they had been sexually abused in various ways.

Reprimanding, ‘Why didn’t you go there and do that?’ is an unreasonable excuse, no matter how noble you are.

“They probably decided that it would be better to just ignore it as ‘a mistake was made within the Huber family’, wait a few years, and then aim for a rebound.”

Count Hoover must have thought that Diane, whom he raised, would never run away from home.

However, the two maids who were attached to Diane were completely on her side.

To be exact, one of them was ours.

“There was Becky, and there was also a nanny who had raised Diane since childhood. With the help of the two, Diane disappeared, leaving behind only a letter to her father.”

For reference, the nanny maid was also stolen and hidden in the mansion.

They didn’t reveal where they were going. But even if they did, it would be impossible for the Count to threaten the Archduke.

This is a family that is already defending the North, so how can the Count who broke up the royal family’s engagement ceremony attack them?

“The contents of the letter are—”

“My father suffered so much that I gave up everything and left.”

And the letter was discovered ‘by chance’ by Allen, who went to comfort Diane.

Diane was objectively the complete victim in this incident.

The engagement ceremony, which was supposed to be happy, was broken because of my father, so I can’t meet the right person for a while.

However, Allen, who I thought was the ‘right match’, was actually a princess, not a prince.

So, Diane was betrayed by her father and the royal family.

In order to appease Diane, the royal family tried to send Allen to apologize in person.

At exactly that moment, Diane left ‘everything’ and left.

This was a fresh shock to the nobles.

“In old stories, there are nobles who leave behind everything.”

Amelia said while stroking my head. I was pressing my nose into Amelia’s clavicle.

I felt Amelia’s soft body around my neck.

“But is it easy in reality?”

“It must be even more so because it seemed like ‘there was nothing’ to Diane.”

I agreed with Amelia.

That’s right. Diane lost everything, abandoned everything. She was a tragic heroine who had nothing.

I lost my loved ones, I lost my relationships, and I was so discouraged that I threw away everything I had.

Ah, what a sad story!

“I actually have a mansion to live in, and there are people I like. Moreover, in a few years, I plan to suddenly appear and talk to my younger brother.”

That’s right. In fact, it was just the opposite.

The two of you will probably stay there all night for a few years until you meet your little brother.

Isn’t it true that in the countryside there is nothing else to do?

Amelia and I decided to enjoy this laid-back city life for a few more years.

It will be difficult for the ‘two people in the side chamber’ to leave the city in the next few years.

I hugged Amelia’s waist tightly.

How long have I waited for this moment?

No one will be able to disturb me for a while. Everything that happens in the palace is just a headache, so even Vando Allen will be held captive for at least a few months.

“Allen said he would use this example.”

“How on earth?”

I raised my head at Amelia’s words.

Amelia looked down at me, smiled slightly, and then said.

“The engagement broke down and the relationship could not be maintained because the other party was of the same sex. In such an ‘exceptional’ situation, we will make it so that the other party cannot unilaterally break up the marriage relationship, even if they are of the same sex, so that the other party can properly take responsibility. That’s it.”

“… … You mean it can be my side room like that?”

“Because people tend to come up with reasons. Isn’t this a modern country ruled by law?”

That’s true.

“And Allen and Evan’s ‘marriage’ will probably be an unofficial marriage. From the royal family’s perspective, they will be afraid to reveal the whole story to the outside world.”

“This could be a reason for these two people not to get married in the future.”

I sighed.

Amelia stroked my hair for a while.

Was he even choosing his words?

Well, as a true wife, her husband… … No, wife? Madam? Anyway, my mind is complicated as such a being tries to leave the side room.

“How do you feel about becoming a wolf that swallowed up the entire country?”

“… … .”

I narrowed my eyes and glared quietly at Amelia.

“Krrrr… … .”

And while making those sounds with his mouth, he slowly climbed up on top of Amelia.

“Wow, you’re scared.”

Amelia trembled with an expression that did not seem scary at all.

After I completely took control of Amelia,

“Kuang!”

He bit down on Amelia’s neck.

“Wow!”

Amelia screamed happily.

*

Again a few months later.

It was said that the noisy events surrounding the royal family and the count were gradually quieting down, and that the story of the empire and kingdom was almost coming to an end.

Of course, the story is over, but the procedural aspects are just beginning.

The kingdom and empire held meeting after meeting.

Even though Evan was still the Crown Princess and had only a few cases to hand over, that does not mean that there were no such issues at all.

It seems that the empire insisted that Evan should never become crown princess.

“The stories I know should not be of too great benefit to the kingdom.”

And the most important person in the story seems to have been left out of the story.

“I was completely pushed out. It seemed like the kingdom thought I was someone who should not have power.”

Evan winked at me while pouring a little milk into his tea.

“… … .”

That’s really annoying.

“So you came to our mansion as soon as the story ended?”

“Of course. I can’t waste the opportunity to see my dear friend, can I? So, can I stay here for a while?”

“… … .”

“It’s okay if we don’t share a bed. I just want to feel the feeling of seeing each other face to face in the morning.”

Amelia looked at me with one hand on her forehead.

Do you want me to decide?

I thought for a moment and then said.

“… … There is a room I used to stay in. If it’s just for a few days, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stay there.”

“Oh, I see!”

He was pleased with what I said.

“This is the room you threw away!”

“I’m just saying this, but there’s little chance that my body odor remains. I only stayed there for a short time, and I’ve always shared a room with Amelia since then. I must have taken care of all the bedding, so I must have washed everything several times.◦ #◦

“It doesn’t matter. That’s enough.”

Could it be that the Sword Master can smell a person’s scent in a blanket that has been washed several times?

… … That can’t be possible.

“Oh, and.”

Evan, who was happily drinking tea, said.

“I also want to have an engagement ceremony here, even if it’s just an informal one.”

“Me and Amelia didn’t even have an engagement ceremony.”

“Oh, I see.”

Evan lowered his head for a moment as if he was a little disappointed, then raised his head again and spoke.

“Then, can you at least give me a kiss?”

Amelia looked dumbfounded for a moment after hearing that story, then jumped up from her chair, came over to me, and hugged me tightly.

“Do you want to say that in front of my wife right now? Of course, absolutely not in front of me.”

“Don’t do that. I heard that among the ancient kings who had many side chambers, they prayed with different side chambers on each side.”

“… … .”

Amelia glared at Evan and hugged me tighter.

Well, it always feels good to be held against Amelia’s chest, so I don’t really care… … .

Was that person thinking about the possibility of rolling around on the bed with his wife?

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m deep and broad, or if my way of thinking is just very different from that of the average person.

The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes, so for now I’ll just have to feel like Amelia.
