episode_0058

When I returned to the room, I remembered what happened a little while ago.

Nothing special happened. Just the two of us on the streets of Libya. So, I landed in the western district, walked around a bit, stopped at a restaurant, had a meal, and came back home.

There were no problems up to that point.

Even the slightest bit of unpleasant feeling that remained has flown away. The female protagonist and sub-male protagonist have already been crumpled to the edge of my mind.

In my mind, only the fluttering golden eyelashes and Cecilia’s blue eyes played over and over again.

This happened just before getting off the carriage.

‘Marian.’

Cecilia’s face came closer.

‘… what’s the matter?’

‘You said thank you, right?’

‘Oh, yes, thank you…’ ?’

‘me. ‘Can’t I give you a reward?’

‘award?’

Cecilia stuck out her cheek with a sly expression.

I couldn’t figure out what was being asked.

Even friends kiss each other on the cheek. I’ve received a lot from Cecilia, but have I ever actually done anything for her? ?

Just thinking about it made my heart pound.

‘Marian… . It’s okay if you don’t feel bad. still… . I would be very happy if you did.’

side.

As soon as I felt the soft touch, I immediately got out of the carriage.

“Aaaah!”

Even though I was just thinking about what happened a little while ago, I kicked the blanket off.

‘fox! fox! King fox! If you make such a pitiful face, how can I refuse you? I’m not offended in the first place, I don’t hate you at all!’

“Ugh. Still, I’m so embarrassed… Ah?”

“Class. I fell again.”

*

Meanwhile, Marian wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep at that time.

“Thank you. Cecilia.”

Cecilia closed her eyes and touched her cheek as a gentle voice rang in her ears.

It was my first time.

He was happy to see that her flushed face was conscious of him, but he still didn’t think she would kiss him.

I burst into laughter as I remembered the round pink eyes that looked like a surprised rabbit even after being kissed.

“Now that I think about it… .”

She also had pink eyes. But it was completely different from Marian.

It was rude to even compare the somewhat empty-looking eyes with Marian’s sparkling eyes.

‘Well, sleep well then!’

It turned around so quickly that I didn’t see much. I wanted to hug him and stop him from going as he ran away with a shy expression.

‘Then you probably hated it… .’

Cecilia closed her eyes and thought of Marian several times.

“I thought I was confident in my patience… .”

Cecilia rolls over on the bed, hugging the pillow tightly.

“Ah… . I’m going crazy.”

Cecilia recalled the man who had pointed a sword at her.

He seemed talented, but he was far from it.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to swing it.”

Late night. Cecilia headed to the training ground wearing a light dress.

“Hmm. Is it okay like this?”

The white dress that slightly covers her thighs and her platinum-blonde hair sparkle in the moonlight, and the sword’s trajectory embroiders the air.

An elegant sword dance, as if a fairy dancing, began.

* * *

“Damn it…!”

Ian also couldn’t sleep and was swinging his sword.

Earl of Rippleton. As a family of historic knights, the training ground was ideal for swordsmanship training rather than magic.

He regretted just thinking about what happened a little while ago.

‘That’s not what I meant.’

It became like questioning a mistake.

It only took a moment for the pretty eyes that showed curiosity to turn cold. Just thinking about the look in Lady Marian’s eyes at that time made my heart ache.

“Sure…”

Telling her, the duke’s daughter, to apologize to Yuri, who is just the baron’s daughter… . It would have hurt her pride.

“Yes, so on purpose… .”

Could it be that he accepted the count’s flirtation…? ?

There were no more thoughts of Yuri in his mind.

* * *

“Did everyone hear it? I heard that Ian ran through the school grounds carrying the injured Lady Yuri like a princess.”

“I saw it in person. Urgent action with an indifferent expression… There’s a gap…”

“But why did that happen?”

“…There is a rumor that he had a fight with Lady Marian.”

A young lady looked around and spoke cautiously.

“Gasp.”

Just mentioning Marian’s name made the surrounding ladies gasp.

“Why did you do that? Princess, basically… you don’t cause trouble unless you’re someone who starts a fight, right?”

“Right…? Although he is merciless towards his enemies, he is basically kind… He is like a model nobleman.”

Marian didn’t know it, but her popularity was high.

“Last time, the princess saved me when Colton Youngsik was flirting with me.”

“Oh my… Lady too? Me too, but I was Patrick Yeongsik… When he approached me with a face that looked like a toad, it was really…”

“Now that you think about it, Lady Yuri and the Princess have a bit of a similar vibe, right?”

“That’s right. ah! Has anyone seen the princess sleeping?”

“Me! Me! You really looked like an angel when you were sleeping, right? No, he’s cute like an angel most of the time, but maybe that’s why it’s noticeable when he’s irritated or in a bad mood! Even the narrowed eyes and cold expression leave a gap…!”

“That’s right, that’s right! You’re 5 years younger than us, but don’t you feel like an older sister?”

Many people witnessed Ian carrying Yuri, who had an injured knee, across the campus like a princess, and it was a frequent occurrence among the nobles.

Yuri, who had a beautiful white face but whose name most nobles did not even know, quickly made herself known by becoming associated with a famous person.

And Sasha, who was fixing Yuri’s hair, was satisfied with the situation and praised Yuri.

“Good job. I was worried because you shared the same vibe as Princess Marian, but thanks to her reputation, you succeeded in making you known right away.”

It’s already time to go to bed. Nevertheless, Sasha, who straightened Yuri’s hair as if it were her own doll, finally lifted Yuri’s skirt.

“ character. Then, shall we take a look at the wound?”

There were black bruises on her delicate knees.

“How… .”

Sasha’s hand smoothes Yuri’s knee.

Even though he looked like he was in quite a bit of pain, Yuri looked out the window without saying a word.

Her reaction was so calm that it made you wonder if she was the same person who was awkward and grimacing in pain in front of people.

“Would you like to stand?”

Yuri followed her instructions and stood up and walked.

Sasha frowned at the sight of him limping.

“This can’t be helped.”

Saying that, he poured a vial of medicine into Yuri’s wound. The black liquid quickly seeped into Yuri’s knee, and the wound disappeared in an instant.

“Please keep in mind that collecting divine power through black magic is simple, but inefficient.”

Yuri nodded.

“Always keep in mind that nobles are very interested in such gossip, Yuri, you must always be the underdog.”

Yuri just nodded without saying a word.

“Hmm. By the way, it may be painful in the future because you are out of Lady Marian’s eyes, but you will shine that much. You know that happiness comes after suffering, right?”

‘He didn’t seem to be interested in me…’

Even thinking back on it, it was a strange reaction.

He hesitantly held out his hand, as if he knew what he was going to do.

‘No. If I had known, I wouldn’t have reached out.’

Even when I think of it, I laugh out loud.

He threw that favor into the gutter. The questions you have now probably come from your own ugly heart.

It was a child smaller than myself. It was planned from the beginning, but…

Yuri shook his head as a thought came to mind.

“Well, Yuri’s actions this time are like directly challenging Lady Marian.”

It was like that. He even put on a ridiculous show where he fell alone in front of his nose even though there was nothing there.

There is no way a person could trip and fall over their own feet.

Yuri also thought that he had been captured by the princess.

However, contrary to their expectations, the princess was very quiet.

Even her status and position as a senior. Even though there were dozens of ways to harass Yuri without even lifting a finger if he wanted to.

“This is unexpected. The princess is merciless toward those she targets, but I guess she basically hits first.”

Yuri looked at Sasha, who narrowed her eyebrows as if in trouble, as if asking for an explanation.

“Well, I mean. To put it simply, the family where the princess buried most of them made mistakes. However, the risk is too great for Yuri to do that… Still, for Yuri, who has a faint presence, to become famous, it is certain that a scandal will break out with a celebrity. Just for this incident… hmm.”

To become an ill-fated heroine, you need a villain. but…

Yuri was the youngest among first graders. A child even younger than himself. The rumor was scary, but it was probably just a rumor spread by those who were jealous of her.

It looked so fluffy and cute that I naturally thought that way.

The atmosphere is similar to mine. Some people said that, but in my opinion, it was completely different.

A person who attracts attention just by existing.

“Well, I can’t help it. Let’s just practice quietly for a while.”

Sasha smiled and approached Yuri. Then she took out a knife from her skirt and cut Yuri’s thigh.

“Tsk..!”

The white flesh splits and red blood stains the bed.

“Be patient.”

Sasha spoke firmly and poured an ominous sparkling black liquid.

As it soaked into the deep scar, Yuri’s pink eyes sparkled with dark red light.

“It’s big… Ah… Ah, it hurts…”

Yuri screamed in pain.

Blood-red tears flow from bright red eyes.

“There is no magic result, so I need to at least increase my divine power.”

Sasha leisurely looks at Yuri, who is clutching the sheet and writhing in pain, and walks to the door.

“Sa, please save me… .”

“I won’t die. Not once or twice.”

She closed the door, ignoring Yuri’s pleas.

“Well, good night, Yuri.”

Her face was flushed red as she placed one hand on her cheek as she looked at Yuri in pain.
