episode_0274
by fnovelpiaI wondered if it was possible for something to go wrong to fall so suddenly.
Suddenly, the most unpleasant state in this game came upon me, and I felt a chill down my spine as I realized the true nature of my plan that no one noticed.
But that’s not the issue right now.
…I should have realized it when he made the strange proposal of marriage to Princess Arsien.
The Crown Prince had poisoned me, after he noticed that Harnie was awake.
Thanks to that, I was in this state for several minutes.
She covered my eyes, telling me not to say anything.
No matter how much I screamed that I was sick, it would still climb over my body and cover my eyes with the blanket.
“Don’t get up. Don’t get up until I tell you to. Got it?!”
…After saying those words, he left me alone for a long time.
In some ways, it was fortunate that I didn’t have to hear any nagging, but it was also a bit difficult to maintain this state.
‘There’s something I need to check.’
If Crown Prince Albert gets wind of my plan, someone else may find out what he’s stepping on.
It would be embarrassing for it to be revealed to someone else. It would also be dangerous for it to be known to the vassals and other nobles. The worst would be for it to be revealed directly to the family or for the news to reach their ears.
Anyway, I needed to improve the problems I encountered this time.
-Slurp.
I glanced at Harnie and lowered the blanket, but she had turned around.
There used to be a lot of things to say to other people.
I made excuses. I made things sound plausible. I lied without hesitation.
I had also anticipated the other person’s questions through analysis, so it wasn’t difficult to match their responses.
‘I don’t know what Harnie will say…’
Conversely, I also don’t know what to say from my perspective.
I had no idea.
Just like the author.
‘Haa. I can’t help it.’
In this case, it is better to go with experience.
If you’re going to get scolded, get scolded.
I’ll point out what needs to be pointed out sharply.
No matter what answer we get, let’s give an unvarnished answer.
As I was about to call Harnie after putting down the old number, she also turned towards me.
Two eyes meeting at the same time.
Harni also happened to have something to say.
She looked back at me with surprised eyes and turned her head away.
“What, what is it? I told you to keep it that way until I say something…”
An awkward atmosphere flowed.
…It was the same when I was with Ji-eun.
Yeah. Let’s lighten the mood a bit and continue the conversation by using that experience.
It was the same in this situation, but it was also the same in reality.
I wasn’t the only one who got hurt.
“I had something to ask you too, so yes.”
“What do you want from me?”
“I wonder if you’re feeling okay.”
“…”
Then Harnie let out a small sigh and lightly poked my body with her index finger.
Although I didn’t press too hard, a tingling sensation ran down the skin where my fingers touched.
“Aya.”
“Who’s worried about whom? You’re the one who’s in bigger trouble.”
Harnie’s eyes, which had been like a fox, became sharper.
“That’s why I’m asking. I saved you by flying my body, so what if you get sick? ”
She hesitated for a moment, then withdrew her fingers.
“…I didn’t get hurt that much because of that bold man who put himself in more danger to save me. So don’t worry.”
“I see. That’s fortunate.”
“What luck… Haa. Really.”
Judging from his reaction, he doesn’t seem angry.
“Well, still… I’ll say this.”
“What is it?”
“Thank you… for saving me.”
…is an awkward word.
It’s an awkward situation and an awkward expression.
But why is that?
The thank yous I received from her didn’t seem so awkward anymore.
As if I had adapted to it.
After saying that, she blinked her eyes repeatedly and then immediately changed the subject.
“Hmm. Well, there’s something else you need to do. There’s a hole in your plan. ”
“Ah. Right.”
“Probably no one noticed. I only noticed it after His Highness the Crown Prince told me, so it’s probably not a known loophole.”
That’s fortunate.
If by any chance the Duke’s ears had been reached… my escape plan would have been in vain.
“But, just in case, it would be better to do some research.”
“Okay, I see. Hmm… But I’m at a loss as to how to resolve this. Investigation is investigation, and tailing is also…”
“Oh my. It’s simpler than you think.”
Harnie smiled like a fox and gave a very reassuring wink.
***
She showed the merchant’s face, got out of bed, and adjusted her shoes.
“Get some rest. I’ll take care of it and come back.”
“Uh… But I feel a bit awkward leaving it to you like this.”
“Is it better for me to move on my own rather than moving with that body? Or are you worried that I won’t be able to do the job properly?”
“That can’t be true. I’ve seen it before.”
Harnie laughed again, like a fox.
“Then trust me and get some rest. You have to repay me for saving you.”
When you say it like that, I have nothing to say.
It was while I was scratching the ball.
“…Harnie?”
“Just a moment. I’ll be off in a moment.”
“…”
Warm body temperature is felt throughout the body.
I can feel the warm skin and fragrant scent.
I can hear breathing sounds that I hadn’t heard before, and even the breath is brushing against my skin.
Because she’s hugging my body tightly.
I’m embarrassed, but I can’t figure out what he’s thinking.
I had a strange feeling.
“It’ll take some time… but I think it’ll arrive by the time the after party is in progress. So, please keep my request this time.”
“What are you… saying?”
“I don’t want you to get hurt.”
side.
Soft lips touched my cheek once again.
What the heck…
“See you later. Carcein.”
Harnie opened the door to the sickroom and went out.
A little excited.
It’s a little awkward.
But at the same time, I feel embarrassed and not hate it.
What on earth is this feeling?
Her pretty smiling face is no longer visible.
The hem of the dress disappears from sight.
Until even the lightly fluttering purple hair finally disappeared.
I couldn’t get out of this unknown feeling.
“…That definitely doesn’t seem like etiquette.”
It’s so awkward.
This kind of thing.
“Okay. Now is not the time to think about that.”
Thankfully, Harnie went to do what I needed to do.
But that was my original plan.
It’s a vulnerability that I exposed, and it’s a vulnerability that I should have fixed.
That’s why I need to move more in my own way.
Hurry up. Just a little faster.
I had to save up money to escape from this dukedom.
“Camilla. Are you there?”
“Yes, sir.”
Responding immediately to my call, Camilla entered the sickroom and bowed her head.
[ Camila Deol ]
[ Intimacy: 76% ]
Intimacy is 76%.
This is a figure that would allow special authority to be exercised only to maids or residents of the estate.
The results may vary slightly depending on who the target is, but Camilla is someone who is very trustworthy and has a lot to say. She also owes me something.
‘At this point, there’s no chance of information leaking out. The state of my territory is…’
▶Express public sentiment toward Yeongju.◀
[Ruthmyer: 85%]
[ Chatren : 79% ]
That’s great.
If I do that, I can move on to the next plan.
“Do you have the money I told you to have?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Sigh.
Camilla took out an envelope of money from inside her maid outfit.
“As you instructed, I changed all of your funds into the highest denomination checks. I kept them with me because I didn’t know when I would need them.”
As expected, the system functions are good.
The add-on worked well.
“Then send it to Chatren. In the envelope, without missing anything.”
“…Yes?”
Are you going to spend all this money on the people of Yeongji?
Camilla looked embarrassed, as if she wanted to ask,
I answered her with a sly smile.
“We will proceed with the next business.”
▶The lord’s permission is required to proceed with the business.◀
▶Would you like to use the lord’s authority?◀
[ 1. Yes. ]
[ 2. No. ]
Wouldn’t that make money?
Money to pay off this house.
***
When the incident occurred at the martial arts tournament and Karthusian was nowhere to be seen, my heart sank.
When I heard the news that Karsene might be deep inside the stadium, my heart sank.
Even when each person was being rescued, I kept praying that it was Karsene. Even so, when Karsene was nowhere to be seen, I screamed so loudly that my throat became hoarse.
Fortunately, Carcein was rescued.
When I heard that my life was in danger or that I still hadn’t opened my eyes, I collapsed on the spot.
That was Isabella.
With just one word, I jumped up from my seat.
-Dalgrak.
The teacup clanks and the tea flows down the walls of the teacup.
“Really? Karcein happened?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“That kid… That kid…!”
Even though the hot tea should have burned her hands, Isabella seemed not to feel the heat and just took in a deep breath.
At the same time, life returned to the eyes that had been filled with worry.
“How’s Carcein’s body? Is everything okay? What do you need? Do you want to eat anything?”
“Ma’am, Madam. Calm down.”
“Haa. That, that’s right. That’s right. Haa…”
Isabella, whose mind had been calmed by Heron, asked again, one by one.
“Are you saying I can go see it now?”
Heron nodded slightly with a smile on his face. Permission had also been given by his attending physician, Shaden.
Once permission was granted, the next steps were obvious.
Although not a single word was spoken, it was customary for the entire family to go to visit Karsain in the hospital.
My daughters will probably come separately after hearing the news. Isabella was the first to get into the carriage.
It was a short while before we arrived at the private room where Karcein was hospitalized.
Not knowing what to prepare, I hurriedly brought a gift and knocked on the door, and Karsine answered to come in.
A door that opens gently.
Inside the private room was Karsine reading a book.
To Isabella, who was feeling relieved and wiping away her tears, Karsain calmly spoke. However.
“I’m sorry.”
What came out of his mouth was an apology.
“What are you talking about, Carcein? Why are you saying sorry? ”
“I got hurt and wasted precious time like this.”
Isabella’s heart began to pound.
-Tiring!
