The atmosphere was frozen.

The already cold air freezes and the water vapor turns into fog.

Yerina’s eyes are sharp, as if they are going to pierce me.

“Get out.”

“Okay.”

“Not you.”

As soon as I turned around, a sharp voice grabbed me like a hook.

“Alicia, you. I’m out.”

“Huh? Ah?”

“Go out. Please talk to Eugene.”

“Yes, four…”

Alicia nods her head in turns, greets me and Yerina in turn, and then leaves in a hurry.

Just before she passed me, my hand inadvertently went to Alicia’s ear.

Then sob! Alicia lets out a scream and falls down as her legs lose their strength.

At first, I was planning to just grab it lightly, but Alicia collapsed and ended up holding on to her ear so tightly that she was trying to hold it down.

“Huh. Ah. Aaaaa…”

“······.”

“······.”

Alicia, who must have been holding back, was shaking her pelvis on the spot.

With a hissing sound, a puddle of clear, sour-smelling liquid appeared at the bottom.

Isn’t that what you caught for this?

“Oh…”

I can feel Yerina’s cold eyes boring into the back of my head.

Should I let this go?

If she lets go, Alicia falls into the puddle of lemonade she made.

Even so, I’m holding on to it, and I’m sure I’ll be able to make two servings soon.

“Heeugh······.”

Slowly, I grabbed Alicia’s ears and moved them to the side.

Then, Alicia trembled and left the room with steps like a newborn calf.

I ended up being very confused.

I’m afraid to look back.

“Hmm. Did you seduce me like that?”

“No. what. That’s not it… It’s not that it’s not, but… I guess you could say that.”

I gave up denying it.

There is no use in denying it.

In the end, it’s not wrong.

There was no need to provoke Yerina any further.

“He goes around hitting on women. Are you aware?”

“There was none… It happened recently.”

Yerina lightly approached me and started adjusting my clothes.

It looks like he is holding back by keeping a slight distance, but judging from the fact that he is already exhaling haha and his body temperature is rising, it seems that his patience has reached its limit.

But the conversation I had with Alicia just now was the same, and there was something I did unintentionally just now…

It looks like he is not in a hurry.

Well, anyway, it’s already obvious because the ears are pricking and the tail is gently wagging.

“So you’re saying there wasn’t one? at all? Even though you don’t have any intention of seducing women, you’re telling them you’re trying to seduce them?”

“That’s really true.”

“So are you dying of exhaustion?”

“I’m so tired.”

“Smirked. Upset. it’s annoying. This is a completely fraudulent marriage.”

Yerina got angry and grabbed my cheeks.

Do you now know that it was a fraudulent marriage?

You must have noticed it when you returned and found two enemies.

“So… What do you think about Alicia?”

“······.”

Yerina asks, gently tapping my chest to smooth out the wrinkles.

Maybe this is the original title.

This is probably the topic you most wanted to hear from me.

Having listened to the entire conversation between Alicia and Yerina, it is impossible not to know what Yerina’s position is.

Yerina cherishes Alicia like family.

No, in a way, he is my younger brother who is more precious than my family.

Such a younger brother dared to covet his lover.

I didn’t take the stance of trying to steal it, but I guess I was annoyed just by having that mindset.

To Alicia, and even to me, although I can’t bear to say it directly.

Maybe it was Alicia’s indecisiveness that made me angry.

Yerina may have been displeased with the fact that even though she harbored feelings of rebellion, she was unable to carry it out in the end.

It is a complex mind in many ways.

“I······.”

.

.

.

There is a lot I want to say.

There are also piles of expressions of affection that you want to pour out.

But bear with it.

Patience and patience again.

Because I haven’t heard Eugene’s feelings yet.

Because I couldn’t hear his true feelings.

At least until then, I couldn’t let it slip by.

“I······.”

Perhaps because he understood my feelings, Eugene didn’t come any closer and instead kissed my lips.

Instead of lightening the mood.

He was looking at me with a heavy expression on his face.

Eugene will know too.

That I’m an easy girl.

Even though on the outside it seems like he is tickling, suspicious, and very jealous.

In the end, Eugene, who has gone through many regressions, would know very well that she is a woman who quickly calms down and forgives everything even when she gets angry with a little pat on the head.

Because I only have Eugene…

No matter what Eugene does, he knows for sure that he will be hung up on him in the end…

That’s why Eugene is even more cautious.

“I am a greedy person.”

“Yes······. I know.”

know. I know for sure.

There will be no one in this world as greedy as Eugene.

Isn’t this the person who is insatiable and has rewound the timeline 12 times to create a better future?

I was able to get to where I am today because I refused to compromise.

Because he hated regrets, he was able to defeat a powerful enemy with the bonds he had gathered.

The reason I fell in love was with Eugene.

Always do your best without giving up.

To such a greedy man…

“At the time, I was just running with my eyes set on a goal in the distant future, but looking back now, things seemed a little different. Do you know what, Yeri? When I first met Alicia, I was much weaker than I am now. Not only in a physical sense, but also mentally. Although I pretended to be strong on the outside, I was in a very dangerous situation on the inside. In that situation, Alicia became a good friend.”

“Hmm…”

friend?

Although I believe there is no such thing as friendship between a man and a woman.

I was able to immediately understand what Eugene was saying.

Eugene is mentally worn out and feels more comfortable alone than with others.

Alicia appeared before Eugene, who believed that he was stronger because he was alone.

The child stayed by Eugene’s side in the name of checking and monitoring whether he was a worthy man for her older sister…

Whether he intended it or not, Eugene would have been able to melt away some of his loneliness by realizing again the importance of having a colleague who would have his back.

It was at a time when I was still looking for Eugene like a mouse.

It was a time when he could not control his mania and was only fueled by his futile obsession with Eugene and his desire for revenge.

Do I have the right to criticize Alicia for approaching Eugene at that time?

Rather, shouldn’t I be grateful because Alicia changed Eugene and brought him to my side?

I don’t know, I don’t know…

To have a headache.

I feel like crying.

“If you ask me what I think of Alicia, I will tell you that she is a precious person. One of the few precious people to me. A person I trust, have high character, and do not hesitate to pay homage to. That’s how I feel about Alicia.”

“If Alicia confesses… are you willing to accept it…?”

“You have to listen to know that. But I don’t think this is the answer you want to hear… As a member of the opposite sex, there is enough interest in me.”

I knew it······.

It was an expected answer to some extent.

Eugene sees Alicia as a woman.

If Alicia confesses, she is also willing to accept it.

At those words, jealousy prickles my heart as if it would tear it apart…

It breaks my heart even more to think that I caused this.

When I wasn’t there.

The woman who supported Eugene, whom I had hurt.

In the end, Eugene returned to me and our love came to fruition.

If you look at it like this, I’m not the one who should be heartbroken.

The person who should be crying is actually Alicia.

Despite giving it all away, she is an unlucky heroine who cannot say it out loud even though she harbors love in her heart due to the gap in social status.

More than anything else… that’s the most annoying and unbearable.

“You know because you overheard, right? Alicia likes you.”

“You know.”

“Can I ask you a favor?”

Please do “. Please.”

“If it’s okay with you… If I have feelings for you enough… Can’t you tell Alicia your feelings first…?”

“······.”

Eugene’s eyes widened as if he hadn’t expected this at all.

Do you know how passionate I am about saying this?

This is really… I’m saying this with real courage…

If it were Alicia, she would never be able to convey her feelings.

Even if I give you an order to tell him, in the end, he will force himself to confess and give up his feelings.

Give up trying to come between me and Eugene.

They will try to sacrifice themselves again.

As a subject who serves the monarch.

Like a vassal…

I can’t see that anymore.

I am also a greedy person.

If Eugene was too greedy, he would move forward and achieve many things.

I am the kind of person who is so greedy that I will sit down on the ground and grab everything around me and drag it down.

One of the victims of that wind was Alicia.

Because of me, I have to give up the greed that I had for the first time and close my heart.

I’m so upset and heartbroken… I can’t bear it at all.

Is it because the mania has subsided?

Now, rather than isolating Eugene, desolating everything around him, and monopolizing Eugene.

A life in which everyone is satisfied with others is more painful than a life of childish satisfaction for oneself.

“Good. I will do that. It’s a request from my beloved wife, how can I not listen to it?”

“I can see the corners of my mouth ascending, but what? Even if I had asked him to ignore Alicia, would he have accepted it so obediently?”

“Okay then. I accepted it right away. Yerina, if that’s what you truly want. But I believed it wouldn’t happen.”

“You… know me so well…”

When I thought I couldn’t hold back any longer, my strength loosened and I collapsed against Eugene.

Eugene gently hugs me and strokes my ears.

It’s still a rude touch without caution.

But the touch is nice.

I like Eugene, who approaches without hesitation.

In front of Eugene, I feel like an obedient dog.

“Even if you come in, Alicia is your concubine. I can never give you an equal wife position. This is my last bit of pride.”

“What a humble pride. Of course it’s something worth asking for.”

“And more than anything else…”

“Yes.”

“You can’t like it more than me.”

Ugh.

I hugged Eugene tightly and rubbed my body.

Let him smell my scent to the fullest.

So that it cannot be covered up by any smell.
