Chapter 117 – Small but Sure Happiness (3)
Do you want me to stop Wasn’t that what I wanted to hear? As Theorard looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, the elf kicked the chair and stood up.
“…… I’ll go.”
The sound of small dispersed words as if it could be heard. The elf bowed his head and left the drawing room before he had time to stop.
Theorard, who was watching the back of him, tilted his head in his doubt.
‘Why are you doing that?’
I told him what I wanted to hear, but I was lost when he left showing off his dislike his. One side of my heart felt like it was stained, but I didn’t hate it too much.
Thanks to the elf’s departure her, she was able to talk with Esily alone. Theo Radga, who habitually touched the brooch around her neck her, turned to Ecilly.
“Sorry. I didn’t know that the elf would be extreme.”
“Oh, no. There is no need for Sir Theorard to apologize.”
“You still understand. It’s to the point where I’m all shabby.”
A soft smile forms on Theorard’s lips. It made her heart pound for no reason, so she deliberately controlled her breathing. Because she didn’t want to appear slutty.
“It’s overrated. I also made a mistake by visiting the mansion without a message.”
“I don’t think it’s rude from the point of view of knowing the reason for not sending the message.”
Theorard grabbed the teacup with a relaxed gesture. Black tea with warm steam creates an idyllic scenery.
It was peaceful and relaxed, and it felt like my mind and body were at peace. Theorard, who had been staring at the surface of the black tea for a while, looked at Esily as if she had suddenly remembered.
“But why did you suddenly visit the mansion? I heard that Count Pelgarin is busy preparing for the spring hunting party.”
“As you said, I visited because I was busy preparing for the spring hunting event.”
“Yes? What kind of sophistry is that?”
Theorard blankly blinked his eyes. Is he ignorant or pretending not to notice? Esily, who was guessing Theorard’s intentions her, smiled rather mischievously.
“It’s not sophistry, it’s a theory. In the future, preparations for the hunting party will be busier, so even if I want to go see Sir Theorard, I won’t be able to.”
“Ah. I see My thoughts were short.”
A convinced Theorard nodded and raised the teacup. Theorard, who has quenched his thirst with black tea, politely puts the teacup down. It was a familiar manner.
“Then, I will spend my time for you today. I have a lot of work to do, but it’s not as important as you, Esily.”
“Of course… Yes?”
Eshilly gulped reflexively and his hands her trembled. It was because Theorard’s last words sounded like a confession at first glance.
Work is not more important than you, Esily. There is nothing to compare with you, Ashley, in terms of work. That’s why, more than anything else in the world, you are precious…….
The delusions that follow her tail her echo in her head like an echo.
The workers in charge of reason were ringing the emergency bell to wake up, but the indolent emotions did not accept the warning of reason at all.
In short, it was that he was blushing because he was embarrassed. If you keep going like this, you will be captured. It seemed to her that she would not be able to practice at all what the head maid had told her two days ago, ‘The basics of love are push and pull’.
‘Don’t be stupid, Esily! I need to calm down…… !’
It is said that she was taken care of like a golden jade leaf (金枝玉葉), and she did not come alive without knowing anything.
Because she realized early on that the world was harsh, she memorized all of her family’s genealogy even before entering puberty, and, among her siblings her, she was especially interested in the situation and made efforts to recruit talented people.
Since he had been making talented people his own from the bottom of his head, there were now attendants who followed Shili’s words all over the empire.
Although he is young, he has lived a life that does not lag behind others. So it was clear that he could handle love feelings freely.
The moment Essilie’s eyes her tightened up as if she would not be attacked any more, the moment Theorard grabbed Essily by the back of her hand with a worried look on her face of her.
“Have you caught a cold? You don’t look good.”
“Yes? Oh that, that……”
A strong heart crumbles like a sandcastle that meets the waves. Seeley lowered her gaze naturally, blaming herself and closing her eyes tightly.
‘I can’t… !’
In front of Theorard, it seemed that he would not be able to flirt. Just looking at her face would automatically disarm her, so how could she push and pull.
“Esily? If she’s not feeling well, go back and rest…….”
“Oh no!”
She’s come this far, but she can’t go back. She had a lot to say, and she was full of things she wanted to tell me. Esily, who had come to her senses her, raised her head.
“There is something I want to show Sir Theorard. Would it be alright if you could go outside with me?”
“Yes? It’s not very difficult, but……”
Theorard turned his gaze to the window. The sky was dark with dark clouds, as if it would rain at any moment.
“The weather isn’t good, is it okay? Going on an outing is not a very good option…….”
Theorard, who inadvertently turned to Esily, refrained from talking. From the look of Shili hesitantly putting her hands together, she was trying not to show her outwardly, but her regret was evident.
Although she is caring, she would be lying if she said she was n’t cute because of her lack of caring her. Theo Rad smiled lightly and politely changed his words.
“These days, I was only in the mansion, so it was frustrating, but it turned out well. I’m not sure where you’re going, but I’m sure it’ll be fun if I’m with you, Esily. Don’t let it go.”
“Sir Theorard…….”
Seeley smiled awkwardly, and her sorry and gratitude came out from her face. The thing she is sorry for but thankful for is rather this side. Theorard laughed bitterly and emptied the remaining tea in the cup.
The bitter yet sweet taste passed her throat her pleasantly.
*
When I came out with a long umbrella, the Pelgarin family’s four-wheeled carriage was stopped at the entrance of the mansion.
Two well-dressed knights in plate armor were standing upright at the entrance, but Bainen was whistling with his back his leaning against the pillars at both entrances, saying he didn’t care.
‘The deharm family’s vassal knight…….’
For some reason, I felt like I was being compared to the Pelgarin family, so I felt a sense of resentment, but I didn’t show it. She was walking side by side with Esily right next to her.
But, in this weather, where is she going? Curious, I turned to Esily.
“Aren’t you going to tell me your destination?”
She glanced at me once with her mischievous glance, and then smiled.
“If you tell me in advance, the fun will be cut in half.”
“Hmm. Can’t you give me a hint?”
“If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.”
She is strangely excited, so I ask for more. It looks like you have a plan. As I approached the carriage with a rough nod, the coachman politely bowed and opened the carriage door.
After thinking for a while, I gently pushed Essilly on the back.
“Go in first and sit down. I have something to say to Beinon for a moment.”
“Ah, yes. Okay.”
Esily, who obediently complied, got on the carriage. I looked at that figure for a while, then turned around and headed towards Bainen.
Bainun spat out the grass she was holding in her mouth, as if she started as I approached. I shouted out loud to Bainen.
“Bennon…… !”
“Uh, why is that?”
“Why is that? Are those words coming out of your mouth now? What would my face be like if a vassal knight was messing around with no respect!”
“No, Pelgarin knights are strange? Well, I’m not going to war, but I’m going out, so do I need to hold on to each other?”
“Do you think those knights are doing that for no reason? Because I have eyes to see…….”
Bainen’s face turns to a smirk as he looks at me. That was strange, I frowned.
“Bennon. I am speaking seriously.”
“I know. Just by looking at you, you look serious.”
“But what about that expression?”
“I am proud of it.”
“Are you proud?”
“I want you to start dating in earnest. You value face in front of Lady Essilly, so I think you’ve become a man.”
The skill of skillfully turning words is so excellent that it is almost disgusting.
My mouth hurts just to say it. I sighed and turned around to walk.
“Cheer up, Bocchan! I will cheer you on from behind!”
The free offer of Balgeom chocolate seemed to have to be withdrawn.
Ignoring Beinun’s words, I climbed into her carriage, and Essilly sat in her modest posture, waiting for me. On her lap were two books she had never seen before.
I wanted to ask, but it’s premature now.
As I sit next to Esily, her coachman closes the door and climbs into her driver’s seat. I tapped on the wall of the driver’s seat as if it was okay to start, and the horses moved smoothly along with a whip.
Only then did I look back at Esily and ask a question.
“What is it?”
As if she knew how to ask, Esily smiled and handed her the book.
“Take it. I made a special preparation for Sir Theorard. They say that if you have this, you can talk to each other even if you are far away.”
“Really? No, more than that…….”
Looking at the performance and appearance of the book, the location note is clear. When I noticed the identity of the book, I was stunned without knowing it.
“Thank you, but isn’t it illegal?”
“It is, but…….”
Essilly’s voice diminishes. He seemed worried that he might get scolded by me.
To be honest, she felt embarrassed, but she couldn’t blame Essilly. You would have saved this purely for me.
Moreover, it is known that only those who have officially received permission from the Association can use Witch Notes, but since witches are openly selling them through various routes, there are far more people who use them without hesitation.
So it seemed that there was no need to ruin her mood her by reprimanding Sili.
“Don’t use it well. Can you tell me how to use it?”
At my words, Essili smiled and nodded her head. She just opened the book she had handed to me with an awkward gesture, as if she hadn’t used it herself yet.
“The Witch of Dre Meth says that placing her hand her over the pages of her book her will access the system the witches have built. I heard she has to create something called an ID, but she doesn’t have to worry. When you use it for the first time, an ID is automatically created.”
“Automatically?”
“Yes. According to the witch, the primal instincts stored in the heart appear as IDs. Are you curious?”
…… Is such a thing possible? I couldn’t believe it, but it might be possible because there are many unusual things among witches’ items.
I nodded and put my hand on the page of the book, and the mana emitted from my fingertips spread like a spider’s web.
Subsequently, a square window appeared in the air, and my ID was revealed in a large size.
[I’m hungry]
Huh? I don’t think I’ve ever felt hungry. No, it was a primitive emotion, so I could have thought of it without even knowing it.
Seely, who looked at my ID from the side of her, covered her mouth with a small smile.
“Cute.”
The word “Cute” Hurts one’s self-esteem. Closing the book, I cleared my throat and looked at Essilly.
“Now it is your turn. Let’s see how the ID turns out.”
“It is what I wished for.”
Esily, to which she confidently replies, opens her book and places her hand on it. After the mana spread like mine, a square spear floated in the air.
“Ah…?”
At the same time, Esily stiffened like an idiot.
[I want to work with Theorard]
It was because the revealed ID contained many meanings.
