Chapter Index

    Moving from the ballroom to the party hall.

    Radiel, who was guarding the terrace area of the party venue as an escort, was relieved with a faint smile.

    no. Is it right to say it’s absurd?

    When I reminisce about them one by one, I can’t help but let out a sigh of disappointment.

    ‘At first, I wondered what he was talking about because he suddenly asked for medicine.’

    It was very obvious that Karssein would be targeted at the ballroom because he was not a noble.

    I wondered if an escort had been called because of this risk, but Radiel was not actually called in the place where escort was supposed to be provided.

    From Radiel’s perspective, it was a decision that could not help but be questionable.

    The same thing happened a while later when I brought Radiel into the ballroom, saying I had someone to act as an escort.

    -My fiancee will be on that terrace. Take this medicine and the shoes Camilla brought you and go.

    Holding a new shoe in one hand, he gave a strange command.

    Not the owner’s escort, but the fiancee’s escort.

    Even so, when I was told to take medicine and shoes with me, my head naturally tilted to the side.

    I guess that’s why the commotion in the ballroom was so easily suppressed?

    With that in mind, let’s go inside the terrace.

    There was a very beautiful woman there, with purple hair and purple eyes.

    Perhaps that person is the master’s fiancee. Protecting this person was Radiel’s order to carry out.

    Only then did everything make sense.

    My fiancee danced with my injured foot. Medicine and shoes were for her.

    When she told the truth about what she had heard, the already beautiful girl’s expression began to be filled with spring flowers. Flower buds were blooming beautifully on a face that seemed to never change throughout the year. It was so beautiful that it seemed like any man might fall in love with her.

    The new shoes that were also in his hand probably meant that he wanted to return the favor… but he didn’t seem to know that.

    However, he sends medicine and shoes to his fiancee who danced in shoes that do not fit her feet at all, and goes to take revenge on the person who entrusted her with escorting her.

    On the women’s side, it was a situation that made their hearts pound more than ever.

    ‘Of course… you wouldn’t have thought about that at all. Ugh.’

    That’s why I sigh.

    Perhaps, Lady Harnier might have feelings for her.

    That part was really sad.

    How is it that he, who possesses a clear mind, cool judgment, thorough analytical ability, and insight, is completely clueless about this?

    If this is the case, the woman may become impatient.

    If this was a talent, it was a talent.

    So Radiel deliberately left without taking any action.

    ‘Apply the medicine yourself. You have to put your shoes on yourself. young master.’

    The reason why my distrust of others has deepened to the point where my heart stops beating even when I see such a beautiful woman is probably because I was so deeply hurt by the Duke’s family…

    Sometimes that thought comes to mind.

    It might be another opportunity.

    I think your cold heart may be warmed up a little by meeting a flower bud in full bloom.

    The deep wounds that even family members could not relieve could be rekindled by the strongest human relationship called lovers.

    “It’s been about 5 minutes since you came in…”

    I kept checking my watch, but neither of them came out during that time.

    “…Hmmmm.”

    Radiel cleared his throat and crept closer to the terrace door.

    Of course you shouldn’t do something like this, but you should be able to hold back because you’re curious. She focused her ears on Mana and overheard the conversation.

    “More than that, why did you retaliate against Lady Heli and why are you so quiet?”

    “Ah. That’s it. I danced lightly.”

    …yes?

    Master, you have a fiancee… but are you dancing with another woman?

    What crazy talk is that!

    If you say something like that, your fiancee…!

    “…dancing?”

    “Yes.”

    “You left me here and danced with Lady Heli?”

    “Yes.”

    oh my god. My voice has already calmed down.

    That’s not how you answer it! I’m a bastard!

    ‘What should I do? Should I go in and stop him?’

    Radiel was sweating profusely and thinking seriously.

    Right at that moment.

    “While pretending to dance, they intentionally stepped on me, pushed me, got in my way, and knocked me down. He also said that he dances worse than you. Well, actually, your dancing skills are much better than Harnier’s. It turns out that I met the best partner for my first dance.”

    “What what what what what are you saying!”

    “No. That’s right. If I met the best partner like you for my first dance… Ugh!”

    “Jo, be quiet! Really!”

    The atmosphere suddenly changed.

    Where on earth did you even learn this kind of comment? I almost thought that it would be good for Mark to learn it from Master and use it.

    Anyway, there’s no need to go in and stop him. Radiel was relieved and sighed.

    Meanwhile, Harnier, who was clearly embarrassed, calmed his voice.

    “I didn’t prepare for this, but… here you go.”

    “What is this?”

    “It’s chocolate. Well… I should have given it to you on Valentine’s Day, but it was too late so I’m giving it to you now.”

    Oh my goodness.

    Valentine’s chocolate?

    ‘There was no need for me to intervene, right?’

    As expected, you must have a natural talent in this area.

    That chocolate must be very sweet.

    There’s no way my fiancee’s heart will ever be used when she puts a handful in the melted chocolate.

    ‘I was like that once too.’

    Mmmmm. How sweet is that chocolate?

    The chocolate I gave when we first started dating was not only sweet to the recipient but also to the giver.

    Radiel, who had been nodding his head while eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, was shocked, cleared his throat, and focused on their conversation again.

    The short conversation seemed to have passed in the meantime, and the chocolate story passed quickly.

    however…

    “Don’t lie! Can’t you see Book reacting now?!”

    Why is my fiancee raising her voice?

    what? Did you make a mistake?

    “Harnier. This thing is clearly broken. I slept really straight. It’s unfair.”

    “Are you saying that even though you still have dark circles in your eyes?”

    “It’s my mood. I usually have dark circles.”

    “Huh. It’s amazing. You’re going to lie like this, right?”

    “…What is it? Well, what is it?”

    …? An incomprehensible conversation takes place, and suddenly a rustling sound is heard.

    “What is this? Why am I lying on your lap…”

    “Don’t think about waking up. Because it’s a punishment. Let’s sleep here with our eyes closed.”

    “No, does that mean you grew up lying on your lap? Even if you sit down and sleep… 100 million?”

    “Hmph. That’s why you should have always slept upright. You can’t get up until I give you permission.”

    “Where is that… No, why are you covering my eyes again… I can’t sleep right now?”

    “Are you going to sleep quietly on my lap?”

    oh my god.

    What kind of sugar-dripping conversation is this?

    Given the circumstances, it looks like a knee pillow was provided…

    You can tell just by hearing the voice. The master, who was no better than a stone or a stone, showed tremendous courage and moved forward.

    -gulp.

    ‘What next?’

    I definitely look forward to it.

    Although I have been in a relationship before, I was very curious about what the man and woman would do next.

    “Hey, Lord Radiel?”

    “Gasp!”

    Radiel unconsciously withdrew the mana from her ears at the sudden voice.

    “Ka, Miss Camilla?”

    “Are you listening? The conversation between you and your fiancee.”

    The person who called Radiel was Camilla, the master’s quick-witted maid.

    I had to say sorry to the master separately later.

    “I didn’t mean to say anything about what you were eavesdropping on. However, since Mr. Master usually doesn’t sleep well, I complained to his fiancee. I just want to know if there was any mention of that.”

    “Ah, about that part.”

    Isn’t that what you just heard?

    The other person was Master Karssein’s dedicated maid, and since she didn’t really want to hide it, Radiel reported what she knew.

    Camilla then felt relieved and said it was fortunate.

    It seemed like this was an ally.

    “Then, while I’m at it, could you help me with one more thing?”

    “I also overheard almost nothing more…”

    “No. That’s not it, Lady Arina will come to visit you soon.”

    “…!”

    Radiel’s troubled expression became serious.

    “An incident occurred in the ballroom, so Lady Arina will come to visit you. On the surface, it’s a conflict with some nobles, but in reality, it’s a distortion by those trying to frame the case.”

    “…I would like to act as a witness there and not disturb the two of you. That’s what it means.”

    “That’s right. To be precise, I hope that you will not be left with any more scars from the dukedom, but…”

    If that’s the case.

    Of course it must be accepted.

    “You don’t have to say anything more. Because I will also stand as a witness.”

    “Thank you. Then follow me─”

    “No. It seems there is no need to go there.”

    Sensing that he was popular, Radiel turned his upper body towards him.

    Camilla also had a vague guess, turned towards him, and lowered her head.

    A red ponytail approaches.

    She is definitely Arina Bagland.

    ““Welcome. Miss Arina.””

    “I heard that Karsein had an accident again. It will be here, right?”

    Arina asked the two people who bowed their heads in greeting directly.

    It was Camilla who stepped forward first.

    “No. That’s not true.”

    “Hmm?”

    “If you were told by nobles that there was an accident, that is a distorted truth. Miss Arina.”

    “It is as Miss Camilla said. I didn’t cause an accident, but I was avenging the malice my fiancee received.”

    Following Camilla, Radiel added his opinions one after another.

    Then Arina immediately frowned.

    “What does that mean?”

    The two people, with their heads down, send signals to each other and take turns answering.

    “As a dedicated maid, I was ordered by the Master to bring the list of ladies who attended this party, and then I was ordered to find out Lady Harnier’s shoe size and bring her new shoes.”

    “As an escort driver, I was ordered by the master to escort his fiancee who was brought to the terrace. Next, I was ordered to bring Miss Camilla the shoes mentioned and the medicine to apply to the wound.”

    “The dedicated maid and the escort knight each received such an order.”

    Arina looks at the two people in turn, glances at the terrace, and then turns her back.

    “Follow me. I need to receive a detailed report on what happened.”

    -Tiring!

    ▶The penalty disappears when certain conditions are met.◀

    ▶Arina’s intimacy does not decrease.◀

    ▶The penalty option does not appear.◀

    ***

    “Are you saying that we should definitely kick out Karssein this time?”

    When Count Retelbeek asked again while sweating, the man covered in black gave a warning.

    “Why. Can’t you do it? Are you saying you are no different from that half-penny?”

    “Oh, no. Ha, I will! You can do it!”

    “Okay. Definitely deal with it. Tsk. Because that guy is here in this empire, I can’t go out.”

    There was only one command from him.

    This means completely suppressing Karssein’s position at this Eastern Noble Conference. So that your name will no longer be known in the empire.

    It’s never easy.

    But, it has to be done.

    ‘If you want to live, you have no choice but to do it…!’
