Chapter 866 – #189_Common Drama (4)

One.
It was near the docks in Bordertown that Lucy Yesod found the twins.
I brought it home first because I couldn’t leave it soaked in the rain and crying.
In principle, an apprentice witch cannot leave Gehenna without her guardian, but the fact that she was hanging around the immigration office showed that she was determined to run away.
“Sniff…”
“Paeaeng… !”
After completing remote communication with Albireo, Count Yesod wrapped a towel around himself and said to the twins who were sobbing on the sofa.
“Hey, would you like some cocoa?”
No matter how strong the reflector is, it is easy to catch a cold if you soak it in rainwater in this cold weather.
They put out sweet cocoa to keep you warm and good for when you’re depressed.
“Thank you, sniffle.”
“Thank you Count…”
“It’s okay to stay as long as you feel comfortable. I’ll make sure you don’t feel uncomfortable.”
Odile and Odette take cocoa drooping down as if exhausted from alternating loud wails.
My swollen eyes, like caterpillars passing by, are so pitiful.
Albireo didn’t seem to know why her twins had run away, and at this point he became curious.
Count Yesod waited for the two to calm down a little more before asking cautiously.
“Children, why did you run away?”
The twins’ lower lips protrude as soon as a question is asked.
At the same time, the tear glands that had dried up a little burst, and tears flowed again.
“Eh, if it’s difficult to say, you don’t have to.”
“No, no… Hueeng!”
“Ahhhhh!”
Seeing the twins immediately crying loudly like the sound of a sports car exhaust, Count Yesod was devastated.
I feel like I’m tempted to wait a little longer.
“Actually… Actually, with our little master…”
“With Assistant Shin Si-woo…”
Count Yesod, who eventually learned the cause of everything from the twins’ mouths.
“Two people kissing?”
“Yes… Too much… Little master and assistant.”
“It was so bad!!!”
“My mother-in-law and son-in-law! Little master and assistant!”
Count Yesod felt his head dizzy as he saw the twins bursting again like a volcano that had been resting for a while.
“First, get some rest.”
Count Yesod left his twin and left the room for a while.
“I didn’t know it would turn out like this…”
It’s a fact I should have known.
Wasn’t Lucy the one who knew Deneb’s true intentions before anyone else?
It was Count Yesod’s idea to have a relationship with Shin Si-woo by swapping bodies between Deneb and Lucy.
Until then, Deneb received an effective ‘healing’ for love sickness, and Lucy was able to obtain excellent experimental data while watching ‘the relationship between Shin Si-woo and the witch with the apprentice witch’, so I thought it was a win-win contract.
In the end, I had to hear bitter words about being caught by Albireo, but I didn’t expect it to become so serious.
Deneb is also a witch in her twilight years with her succession just around the corner, and as she is also a brilliant person, she believed that even though she might be confused by her first love, she would soon regain her balance.
But I never thought the snowball would roll this far.
Apparently she took the matter too lightly, blinded by the prospect of living with Diana forever.
It is difficult to say that Lucy is not at all responsible.
“How do you like this…”
Count Yesod let out a deep sigh.
2.
Shiu, Deneb, and Albireo gathered together.
The atmosphere that flows heavily between the three is completely different from usual.
“I’m sorry, Siwoo. I’m sorry, sister…”
Deneb had poured out all of her heart with half her tears and half her trembling voice.
It’s a secret she wanted to keep hidden forever because she was insanely ashamed and ashamed, but she couldn’t help but say it when she thought of her twin, who must have hurt her heart.
Siu and Albireo keep silent.
In particular, Albireo’s expression was not good.
My eyes are reddened and I feel like I’m about to shed tears any minute.
That will be too.
Is there no one here who has done wrong with malice?
Until she first heard of Deneb, she thought she was only her sister’s tactless first love, who was ‘immature’.
Having lived without holding a man’s hand for such a long time, it is the so-called body that is reeling.
And if so light-hearted.
If it’s just a momentary mistake.
I left it unattended, believing that Deneb would manage to catch it.
Because of the damn son-in-law, because of Deneb who had a late wind, and so on, and so on.
It was all about sighing at the genealogy that would be twisted like a dog.
“…”
However, she had never really listened to Deneb’s words seriously.
The two of them said that they were one body, and they treated it as if it were someone else’s business just because it was embarrassing.
Deneb’s heart was dismissed as a momentary urge, or her immature mind, so it was only when her work came to a point that they had a serious conversation.
I should have arranged this place a long time ago.
Albireo felt a sense of responsibility.
“It’s all my fault.”
A son-in-law with a melancholy voice.
“I had to take care of myself at the fish tank even if I had to work a little. It looks like you did something wrong.”
“No, that was for the best at the time. I don’t see it as Siwoo’s fault… It’s all because of my lack…”
Albireo, who was able to look at the incident a little more objectively, judged that Shin Si-woo did not seem to notice at all.
No, I had vaguely guessed, but it would have been more correct if I intentionally averted my eyes.
Shin Si-woo has his own lines and knows how to properly draw them.
He must have felt sorry for just having the mindset of ‘I wonder if my mother-in-law is me?’.
Even in the midst of that, looking at his son-in-law, who said it was his fault and tried to take responsibility, Albireo wondered if he had been wearing too many colored glasses and looking at Siwoo.
“I will try to speak well to Odile-nim and Odette-nim. This was also a problem, it seems that I ruined things by trying to increase secrecy in an ambiguous way to tell you about the fact of verification.”
Siwoo felt a sense of responsibility in the midst of confusion.
It was an unavoidable situation at the time of verification, so even so, there were other options in the fish tank.
If I ignored the hot temptation of my little mother-in-law and continued the obligatory bee sex…
Wouldn’t things have been better than they are now?
People in the world want to express love as something spiritual and sublime, but the influence of sex on the relationship between a man and a woman is by no means small.
Especially if it’s your first relationship.
“Once I got it. Siwoo-kun, will you leave your seat? I have something to say to Deneb.”
“No. I feel like this is something I should share with you.”
“It’s not like that, but it’s because the sisters have a conversation. I will come to you if necessary.”
“… If so, I understand.”
Siwoo silently leaves the room while wondering whether to say something to Deneb.
Only the two counts remained in Albireo’s office.
Albireo organized his thoughts.
“Deneb, so what do you want to do?”
It was Albireo who used to aimlessly shoot at Deneb.
I begged for you to come to your senses, I tried to urge you to change your mind quickly, and I tried to let go of your threats, saying that I wouldn’t see an apprentice witch arguing with his wife and concubine until dirt got into my eyes.
However, after hearing Deneb’s desperate story, it is not easy either.
“Deneb, if you’re having a hard time…”
Therefore, we were considering how to turn a blind eye to the meeting after setting a limit of ‘until the succession’.
Even if it’s crazy, what can I do?
Odile and Odette are very lovely daughters, but Deneb is also precious.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was one with Albireo.
How could she be called her twin sister unless she stood by her side when she was suffering?
There are already many lovers anyway, and Count Yesod is also having a periodic relationship in the name of experiments.
Up to that point, Albireo was also willing to give up his stubbornness.
Of course, you’d have to ask your son-in-law’s doctor, too.
A witch who is about to inherit her original will spend the rest of her life doing as much as she wants to do.
It was hard to see her ending her life after being tormented by such troubles in her heart.
“Give up… I’ll…”
However, unlike Albireo, who came up with a slightly more lenient solution, Deneb’s answer was quick.
There was no energy in her voice, but there was a firm determination.
“I will apologize to her twin… I will atone for my sins with penance until the succession.”
“Are you okay?”
“No, sister. She was meant to be like this from the start. I’m sorry that I looked ugly all this time.”
The shocked look on her twin’s face left much to be desired for Deneb as well.
How ugly I am, floundering over love and losing my mind.
She realized how much that feeling could hurt her twin.
She acknowledged and accepted that she could no longer betray Odile and Odette with the excuse of love.
“Can I go now?”
“You look tired, let’s talk again tomorrow. The twins are being protected by Countess Lucy Yesod.”
“Yes, sister. I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
“Tell me to go with you.”
Seeing Deneb turn around, Albireo didn’t bother to say anything.
“How did this happen…”
Watching the sorrowful unrequited love, he only sees off with sad eyes.
Before Albireo could return to his seat, he heard the sound of busy footsteps.
“Big Master!”
The one who rushed in was Vera, one of the twins’ exclusive maids.
Judging from the fact that he wasn’t in his pajamas until this moment, he must have been on duty.
“What happened?”
Although she is still clumsy as a servant, Vera, who was trying to keep her manners, knelt down on her knees and cried.
“The lady-in-waiting, Galina, has collapsed! What should I do… What should I do…”
“I beg your pardon? What does that mean! Calmly explain!”
“I found you passed out in the kitchen kitchen. I heard she had a fever a while ago… Black, heh heh…”
Why does bad news always come one after another?
Albireo immediately followed Vera.
