Chapter 193 – 193. Mandatory Defense (1)
==================
The maid of the Roxfield family came to Yushin after he finished talking with Troyd.
She was the handmaid of the Countess, Diana Roxfield.
She conveyed the countess’ call in a polite tone.
When he said that the hostess of the Roxfield family was looking for him, Yushin nodded and replied that he would go right away. Isn’t she the kind of person who will one day become a mother-in-law? She was going to say goodbye to her before leaving the Earldom of Loxfield, so she accepted without hesitation.
“Welcome, Lord Gilead.”
She was setting the mood for a tea party in a garden where flowers decorated with five colors were blooming brightly.
It was like a starry place.
Witnessing a field of flowers with a sweet and fresh scent, Yoo-shin put on a bewildered expression.
Confirming that the guest invited to the tea party had arrived, Diana tipped the teacup with her graceful movements.
After taking a sip of tea,
Yushin was invited to sit opposite her.
“Welcome to the tea party, Lord Gilead. Please sit down.”
Accepting Diana’s favor, Yuxin sat down in the seat facing her where she sat.
Scared to sit down
A lady-in-waiting appeared from behind and set the teacup down on the table. She then filled the cup halfway with the fragrant black tea.
After the maid finished her role, she quietly disappeared.
“I just talked to Allen. She’s going back to the country of the elves?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Diana let out a short sigh at Yushin’s answer, then looked at him with her earnest eyes.
“… Is it necessary to go?”
Where is the mother in the world who wants to be separated from her beloved daughter?
She trembled and feared parting.
She was afraid of her daughter leaving for an unknown space she did not know.
It would be a very shameless request to remain with the Roxfield family. Shin Yoo and Allen too. You must feel irritation and ill-feeling towards the Roxfield family. All Diana wanted was for her to remain in Valois so that she could know her well-being at any time.
“Sorry. But I must go.”
“… Whoa, I’m sorry. For saying something
Yushin made a hard expression on his face and spoke in a voice full of determination.
It was an unanswered answer.
In response to Yushin’s firm answer, Diana apologized, saying that she had said something inappropriate.
“The Countess said the obvious. And I am the one who should apologize. After all, it happened because of me.”
“No. Allen is in love with her sir. She gave up everything and ran to Sir… She, she loves you.”
Until now, Diana had been thinking of Yushin as cruel.
The thief who stole her daughter’s heart.
Yushin, who had captured her daughter’s heart to the point of blindly clinging to her, felt hatred at times.
“That’s why Gyeong sometimes feels savage.”
“Sorry.”
“No, sir, it is nothing to apologize for. The person who succeeded Sir and Allen in the first place is my husband.”
Diana was also aware of Troyd’s actions in intentionally causing another one, Yushin Gilead, to meet with her daughter.
To fulfill the mission of the Roxfield family.
There was no way she didn’t know that she had brought another one into her family in order to fulfill the family’s purpose that had come down like fate.
I didn’t like it at first, but…. Her daughter, who had been living in solitude while rejecting all the people around her, came to love Yushin with all her heart, and she came to support their relationship.
“Do you love Allen?”
Diana asked.
Yushin replied without hesitation.
“Yes. I love Allen Roxfield.”
It was an answer without the slightest agitation.
Upon hearing that answer, Diana nodded her head as she smiled in satisfaction.
We sincerely love each other.
Yushin’s answer allowed Diana to come to terms with her farewell to her daughter.
“Whoops. Whoop whoop…. It’s a bold confession of love. It made my heart race.”
Said the lady, with her noble charm and beauty, blushing like her girl.
Could it be because she heard unshakable love confessions?
It was difficult for her to keep her expression. His cheeks trembled and a sly laugh flowed out.
“But I couldn’t tell Allen.”
“It’s okay, be confident. Surely Allen will accept Lord Gilead’s confession.”
Diana clenched her fists,
With her strong voice, she cheered for her daughter and her prospective son-in-law.
It was a cute appearance that was not like a countess with mature charm.
* * *
The reason Yushin suddenly asked Allen out on a date with her was because she wanted to be a little comforting to her wounds.
But it was a hasty decision.
“Sorry. It’s a mess everywhere you go.”
Rutemine, the capital city, was still unable to recover the traces of the devastation.
Will I be able to recover it?
Although the Kingdom’s army was being sent to clear the scene of the disaster, it seemed that it would take a long time to completely restore it.
“I’m okay. Because this city is where her precious memories with her brother dwell. It’s fun enough to look for traces of those memories.”
As her Allen spoke fluently at her, Yushin looked at her with a surprised expression on her face.
Is this what growth is all about?
I never thought that the tomboy-like immature lady would do something called ‘consideration’.
Seeing her younger sister growing up, Yoo-shin was deeply moved.
“The pancake shop is closed. Well, it must be natural. Because the city has become a mess. It’s a pity though Syrup drizzled over pancakes was good.”
“I will open the door. Aren’t there any ingredients left?”
“What kind of thieves are we….”
Cancel what you said earlier.
Still, this young lady is a tomboyish child.
Yu-shin is not a person with a bad conscience to the extent that she robs a store just to eat pancakes covered with sweet syrup. Besides, there would be no such disgrace if rumors spread that the former Seven Swords had plundered a mere pancake shop rather than a kingdom bank.
When Ardena, who had safely returned to her home country, heard the news, it was clear that she would come running in a hurry.
“Look over there, brother.”
“This is a restaurant we often went to. Oh, it looks like it was bombed?”
She turned her gaze in the direction Allen was pointing.
You see a restaurant that has collapsed.
Along with the collapsed roof, a heavy boulder that hit the top caught my eye.
Yushin, who was carefully examining the scene, thought that something was familiar. Why did that restaurant collapse due to the collapse of the wind? Yushin recalled it and hurriedly pulled Allen’s arm with a surprised expression on his face.
“Uh, let’s go somewhere else.”
“Yes? Why all of a sudden….”
“You know that restaurant manager. I think it would be embarrassing if we met face to face. If you ask for help, even thinking about your old friendship, it will be difficult to refuse.”
“Ah, sure.”
The blue-haired knight nodded, as if he had understood Yushin’s explanation.
Walking forward together,
Yushin recalled the reason why his favorite restaurant collapsed.
When fighting the Demon Lord Savnak in the central city, lightning and flames struck and destroyed many buildings. It must have been that restaurant collapsed then, too. That’s why Yoo-shin was afraid to run into the manager of a restaurant he knew, so he turned away.
‘Boo, I’m sure Savnak and I destroyed most of the places that were destroyed. Of course, it was unavoidable….’
Yushin, along with Grid and Savnak, was one of the main culprits who destroyed so many buildings that it deserves to be proudly named.
There must have been numerous eyewitnesses.
The fact that he fought with the demon king of the heatwave in the city of Rutemine is being sung in the mouths of bards without becoming a martial tale.
The reasons to hurry back to the country of the elves increased.
Let’s just go on a date and get out of here in a hurry.
It would be a headache if the provisional cabinet stumbled over it. Even if I don’t say to make up for it openly… , It was obvious that he would pay attention to him by asking him to stay in the kingdom and help Lutemine rebuild.
“What’s the matter? Suddenly restless….”
“It’s because it makes me sad to see the fallen capital. Still, we were the Seven Swords of the Kingdom.”
The capital of light, which proved the long history and tradition of the kingdom of Valua, has fallen.
Sadness is sincere.
Rutemine will now be remembered in people’s minds as a city of fall, not a city of light. Because he was once a knight of the kingdom, he had no choice but to feel bitter at the fall of the kingdom of Valois.
“I heard that you talked to your mother after that, but what did you talk about? I hope I’m not gossip!”
“Of course not. I can’t do that.”
Seeing Allen asking with his axe eyes open, Yushin recalled the conversation he had with the Countess.
I love Allen Roxfield.
Recalling her words in front of the countess, Yushin felt her own face heat up.
How did I have the guts to say such a thing to my future mother-in-law? Of course he was happy…. I’m just concerned that it might not seem rude.
“Even if my brother wasn’t another one… , I would have ended up loving her brother.”
Allen, who was walking in front of her, slowly turned her body and met Yushin’s gaze.
And he confessed his love to her.
She opened her mouth with her face stained red, as white as the glowing sunset.
It was a bold yet sudden confession. At Allen’s sudden confession, Yoo-shin kept her silent for a moment, as if she was at a loss for words.
And despite her restless silence, Allen opened her mouth again.
“Her mother told me. People who are bound by fate are destined to meet in the end no matter how the future changes. How is it, very touching?”
“As expected, the Countess is well-informed.”
“Ugh. You should praise me now!”
At Yushin’s praise of her mother, Allen put on a pouting expression on her face and she grunted.
Seeing that, Yushin laughed.
And as Allen responded with a smile, she continued the conversation.
“Brother’s face turned red! Were you so excited? Heungheung, then I should use it often in the future. Oppa, keep your ears open and look only at me.”
Allen said with a giggle. Yushin replied to him.
“What are you talking about, I was looking at you all the time. Until now, and in the future. I will only look at you I promise you here.”
It was a bold yet honest confession.
Just as Allen’s sudden confession made her blush, it was Allen’s turn to make her blush this time.
It looks like it has been heated by the heat.
She felt her heart beat as if it would burst at any moment at Yushin’s promise to always look only at herself.
“Ah, if you suddenly say something like that… Everyone, it’s embarrassing. I’ll give you a little word… !”
“So were you. Let’s make this a mess.”
“Heh, I don’t know!”
As she shouted, Allen turned her head away, and after calming her heart for a moment,
She took a deep breath and regained her composure.
Her face was still hot and her heart was pounding, but it was better than before.
“Brother.”
“Yes. Why?”
“Me…. I want to do it now.”
“What, what… ?”
At Yushin’s perplexed question, Allen stretched out her hand and tugged at his collar.
“I won’t send you back tonight… ! My body is getting hot right now because of you.”
Allen’s eyes were not serious.
Eyes burning with instinct like a beast.
Sensing the mad instinct in her golden eyes, Yoo-shin hurriedly tried to pull her hand away.
But she couldn’t pull it off.
It was because his hand, which had been holding on to his collar, had already begun to cross his arms.
As if to force criminals into custody,
The hand on her arm showed no sign of letting go.
