A Delta man named Hebron was a man who did not really know the feeling of fear.

The only thing he feared in life was being a loser, and now he had two more.

One is Agnes Levadein.

Another one is Elina von Lebroke.

Yes.

Perhaps the Delta people suffered from gynophobia.

“Agnes!”

How did you find out about it?

As soon as Elina, who was waiting at the entrance to the mansion, sees Agnes, she runs over and hugs her.

Agnes’s dignity seemed to have been thrown away, and tears, snot, and even saliva were dripping down her face. The more it soaked into her clothes, the colder her expression became.

Deltan looked at the distant mountains for no reason.

Meanwhile, Elina started talking like crazy.

“I thought you were dead! It’s been so hard thinking I’ll never see you again! If you were alive like this, you should have told me! How much I am because of you… !”

Elina, who had just mentioned this, seemed so overcome with emotion that she leaned against Agnes and cried.

Meanwhile, Agnes opened her mouth.

“Deltain.”

“… Uh.”

“Could you please open the parlor? I think I have something to talk about with this girl.”

Deltan nodded.

Without the slightest hesitation or concern.

Agnes said with a truly empty smile.

“Thank you.”

He didn’t seem grateful at all.

*

The drawing room of the Count of Hebron.

Agnes was sitting in the middle of a room that, like other places in the mansion, was more practical than flashy.

Elina was on the other side, and on the table was Eryl’s tea.

Agnes looked at Elina, who was holding a teacup and wiping her tear ducts with a handkerchief.

Shining silver hair, indigo eyes, and drooping eye corners, all combined together create a neat and clean look.

However, if you add the nature it contains, it will be far from neat and clean.

That was also the reason why Agnes, who did not enjoy very deep relationships with people, kept her close to her.

At first for fun, later for curiosity.

To summarize, it would be correct to say that Agnes saw her as half a clown.

But the position begins to change.

Elina, who is more mad than Agnes expected, reveals her true colors.

It cleverly comes into contact with the state of the current system and begins to become realistic.

If things continue like this, I will have to call my friend, whom I thought of as a clown, my mother.

Agnes asked herself.

‘So you don’t like Elina?’

Agnes took another close look at Elina von Lebroch and quickly came to a conclusion.

‘I don’t hate it.’

Agnes didn’t really dislike Elina.

If I hated her, I wouldn’t have let her near me in the first place.

No matter what it is, there’s something I like about it, so I keep it by my side.

It was also like that.

Agnes Levadeine was a person who could hardly let go of her things.

This was an issue that also applied to the concept of friends.

Agnes asked herself again.

‘What is the problem?’

Well, it was one from the beginning.

She wanted to have only one person in the position of Duchess Levadeine.

The intention was to leave that position empty forever as Leah Levadein’s.

widely-

Agnes put down her teacup.

At that moment, Elina hesitantly raised her head.

Am I getting noticed again?

Elina said as Agnes tilted her head.

“… Where have you been?”

That question comes first.

“In the desert. I was caught up in the chaos at that time and couldn’t ride the carriage very well. I tried to return as quickly as possible, but I had a hard time because I couldn’t contact the system. I was lucky that Deltan found me.”

“I’m so glad I’m alive… .”

“Elina.”

Elina paused.

Agnes asked her.

“I heard. They said marriage talks have been postponed indefinitely.”

Elina smiled awkwardly.

It was a face that made one feel embarrassed.

Agnes reflected on what she had heard from Gerhart.

It was Elina von Lebroke who had requested a postponement of the marriage talks.

“Why did you do that? Without me, there was no one to stop the marriage.”

This was the reason I was left alone with her.

Agnes wanted to know why Elina behaved like this.

This is why I took the opportunity when I could have achieved the desired goal right away.

Elina’s answer to that came back very quickly.

As if he didn’t even worry about it.

“Because you are not there.”

“… Huh?”

“It means nothing without you. What does it mean when I lose all my friends who would congratulate me and the family I live with?”

Elina smiled brightly without a wrinkle.

Agnes was speechless.

“The Duke of Levadeine, where I will live, must have Agnes.”

Agnes’ eyes turned calmly toward Elina.

Elina also said:

“And… Yes, if you don’t allow it, I’ll wait longer. I don’t want to be hated by you. We are precious friends… Yes, mom-to-be… .”

A blush appeared on Elina’s cheeks.

Agnes quickly interrupted.

“Up to there.”

Elina nodded.

Then he began to look at Agnes with sparkling eyes.

Agnes felt herself laughing.

‘really… .’

You’re crazy.

However, I didn’t hate it at all.

Agnes thought.

Perhaps, if it weren’t for her problems, Elina wouldn’t be so bad as her father’s new wife.

Background, personality, appearance.

She was a woman with no flaws whatsoever, so she would be able to perform the role of a duchess quite well.

Age is also not a problem.

Because in aristocratic marriages, it’s the stupider issue to care about.

“Elina.”

“Yes!”

“I’ll allow it. Marrying my dad.”

Elina’s body suddenly stopped.

Eventually, his eyes widened, he got up from his seat and asked back.

“Really?! Is it true?!”

“I won’t lie about things like this. Instead, there is a condition.”

“What is it? Tell me everything!”

“Four months later. That’s when you get married.”

Deltan said that the flowering of the demon flower is about three months away.

Agnes had faith that no matter what happened, he would destroy this flowering.

So, if you celebrate now, then it will be okay.

No, there was a more fundamental reason for Agnes to allow this marriage.

‘You can’t be caught.’

It is impossible not to escape from your mother’s shadow forever.

I had to overcome the sadness and move forward.

Agnes wanted to do that.

To envision a future with none other than Deltan, and to bury the past that was comforted by him.

therefore.

“Just wait until then.”

Agnes grinned.

Then Elina came running around the table and hugged Agnes.

“Thank you so much!”

Pure joy passes through your skin.

Agnes smiled as if she couldn’t help it, then patted her on the back.

Did that stimulate something?

Elina was now sobbing.

“I, I will work really hard!”

“Okay.”

“A wonderful mother… .”

It’s okay if it doesn’t become “. Because we’ll need distance.”

“… Yes!”

Elina buried her head in Agnes’ chest and started flirting with her.

How could she possibly act as a mother while doing something like this?

After that, for quite some time, Elina was unable to escape Agnes’ embrace, and only when the tea cooled down did she slowly begin to calm down.

All red face and shining smile.

Elina’s face was so happy, and perhaps because she thought her work was completely done, she changed the topic.

“You don’t know how grateful I am for allowing me. I guess this is all thanks to Count Hebron, right?”

“You can’t say there is no virtue.”

“Be sure to say thank you… .”

Don’t give “”

“… Yes!”

Elina again dabbed at her tear ducts with a handkerchief.

Then his cheeks turned red, and he mumbled the words.

“… Then we started competing unintentionally.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, the child.”

Elina lowered her head and said, wiggling her fingertips.

“If this goes on and you guys have the baby first… Yeah, it’s going to be difficult.”

Agnes came to a shaky halt.

All thoughts were temporarily halted by Elina’s sudden words.

“I guess I should do my best for this too, right?”

Elina raised her head and said with a bright smile.

Agnes thought about that for a moment.

‘Did I say something wrong?’

Maybe I touched something that shouldn’t have been touched.

Is it okay to make a woman who is competing for pregnancy a duchess for marriage permission?

A short thought.

Eventually, Agnes made a decision.

‘ah.’

Congratulations, I guess I’ll have to leave this land as soon as I get rid of the magic coin.

I guess I’ll have to go to his hometown with the Deltans.

decision.

Afterwards it was meal time.

It was an incredibly awkward meal for Elina, Agnes, and the Deltans, and Elina was the only one talking excitedly.

That was the main topic raised.

They say that they seem to get along really well, that they attract a lot of attention when they go out together, and that it’s nice to see them living together.

… Yes.

It has already started.

There was still no word from Duke Levadeine, but Elina, who was very excited just by getting Agnes’ permission, became absorbed in the role of mother-in-law.

Deltan couldn’t say anything.

And on rare occasions, he expressed resentment toward Agnes.

-I decided to allow it. marriage.

-Ah, please take care of me in the future!

What passes by is what happened just before.

Deltan wanted to ask Agnes.

Was this the best?

“… Ah, it’s already time.”

Meanwhile, Elina said.

The sun was slowly setting, and as I looked around to see if there was anything planned, Elina smiled brightly and said.

“We should go to the Duke! I have to tell you this good news quickly, right?”

Well, maybe this is only good news for you.

Deltan nodded, trying hard to swallow the words he couldn’t say.

Just like that, Elina quickly left the position.

“… Are you okay?”

Delta Inn went through the verification process again.

Agnes said with a chuckle.

“It’s okay. Because I have you now.”

For an instant, Deltan felt his heart beating loudly.

For some reason, those words felt like they were stimulating my insides, so the tingling didn’t go away.

Deltan said, pursing his lips and taking a moment to shake off the rising heat.

“… If you want to redeem it later, just tell me. I will help you.”

“Yes.”

The meal continued again.

Slowly, everything surrounding them began to change.

Although we don’t know what will happen yet, Deltans thought that they should work harder to ensure that the ending is not a tragedy.

The next day came after the night was over.

Agnes said in response to a letter that arrived from the duke’s residence to the mansion not even before lunch.

“Deltain. From now on, I will tear up all letters from the Duke’s residence.”

He said and threw the torn letter on the floor.

The Deltan understood her.

Anyway, no matter how much he agreed to the marriage, he wouldn’t want to hear a report about how the woman he had been friends with cheated on his father and how she did it.

Deltan thought.

‘Crazy bitch.’

Elina von Lebroke is probably the craziest woman on the island.
