Chapter 118 – A Small but Sure Happiness (4)
Wouldn’t it be like this when a person suddenly turns into a stone? Embarrassment radiated from Essili’s gaze as she stared at the screen without lifting a finger.
“Te, Sir Theorard? This, this is so…….”
The pupils that trembled steeply came out and stared alternately at the screen. At first glance, the eyes that were engulfed by the huge confusion felt pitiful.
Shivering like an idiot, she closed her book belatedly, as if she couldn’t come up with anything to explain.
Thanks to that, the screen that was exposing her embarrassing ID her disappeared, but she was no different from covering her eyes and groaning.
“I wonder if something is broken…….”
It’s cute how he makes excuses with his red-stained face. Since I’m embarrassed because I don’t answer, I feel like I want to make fun of him. Nodding my head, I slyly opened my mouth.
“You seem to be right. Esily, there’s no way you would have such an obscene thought in your heart.”
“No, that’s right. I can’t do that.”
You bite the rice cake right away. The way he responds hastily comes across as cute, like a child caught doing something wrong. I swallowed the laughter that reached the roof of my mouth and stroked my chin as if wondering.
“Well? But do you agree with the statement that it is an obscene thought?”
“Uh, huh? Yes?”
“Wanting to do something with me may not necessarily mean lewdness. It can also be interpreted as wanting to have tea together or take a walk. So I thought Esily, you wouldn’t have any lewd thoughts.”
Esily sighed and clutched at the book on her lap her. It was an act in which she confessed to being caught off guard. The victory is on the decline, so now it will be over when we put an end.
Raising my chin leisurely, I delivered the sentence in an arrogant, authoritative yet coercive manner, like a judge handing out a prison sentence.
“I expected you to deny it, but I am disappointed. I thought you were looking at me with lewd eyes.”
Huh. I turned my collar disapprovingly and looked away from Essilly. Now all we have to do is watch Essilie’s reaction to her.
‘Essilly will surely find the loopholes in my words.’
She is a smart and intelligent woman. Since there is no evidence that the location note’s ID represents the user’s primal desire, you will quickly realize that Dremes may have been playing a joke with the ID randomly set.
When Esily refuted my argument in such a way, I would naturally admit her defeat her. Then the shame that Esily is feeling right now will be diluted a lot.
In short, this situational play is a trivial joke and at the same time my small consideration for Esily. One minute after another, Essilie didn’t say anything.
‘…… Why?’
I turned her head, noticing that her situation her was taking a strange turn, and Essilie bit her lower lip, swallowing her cry.
As I froze in resentment, she looked up at me with Esily’s watery eyes. Thanks to that, the guilt doubles.
“I’m sorry. To disappoint you……. I’m really sorry for the dirty thoughts…….”
I didn’t want this Could it be that my acting was so perfect that I looked really angry. I gulped down her saliva in her confusion and grabbed Essilly’s hand her.
“Disappointment? It doesn’t matter. So don’t be sad please.”
“But just now…….”
“Of course it is a joke. Where in the world is there a man who would be disappointed just because his woman had dirty thoughts?”
When I deny it again, Essilie’s expression brightens a little. Then, perhaps in anger, she half-opened her eyes and spat out words bluntly.
“Then why did you joke like that?”
“Sorry. I didn’t expect you to take it so seriously…….”
“That is no excuse. Sir Theorard? Look me straight in the eyes.”
Just as Esily said, I looked at her with her blue eyes. You can see the iris extending neatly around the pupil resembling lapis lazuli.
Those eyes that can only be said to be beautiful by anyone who sees them. As I stared, Essilly narrowed her eyes fatly.
“From now on, I will only ask you once. Sir Theorard, are you really sorry for me?”
“Of course. I swear to the god of light.”
“Like. Then I’ll have to punish you for being sorry.”
What a sudden punishment When I couldn’t answer because I wondered what it meant, Esily gently touched the back of my hand that was holding hers.
“Do not let go of my hand until the carriage arrives at its destination.”
Soft voices disperse like a dream.
Esily smiled mischievously as she looked at me in bewilderment.
“Because that is my punishment.”
*
Hee-in-
The horses, whose reins were pulled, stop in their tracks with a roar. When the carriage stopped, Bainen and Pelgaroin’s knights, who confirmed that they had reached their destination, also pulled the reins and slowed down.
‘Here…….’
Under an overcast sky, an empty lot with overgrown weeds. You can see a hut built in the center.
The old but well-preserved hut was a building that even Beinen knew well.
‘It’s a place where the memories of the boy and the young lady are kept.’
This cabin was the building that Esily had asked her father to complete when she was young and she wanted to play with Theo Rad.
Near the cabin, there was a wooden table that had not survived the winds and waves of time and had rotted away.
‘That Wellian guy really liked this place.’
I remember laughing heartily, saying that it was perfect for contemplation or conversation because it was windy and the scenery was nice.
Occasionally, I shared a drink with Wellian here. Thinking about the old days makes the tip of my nose sour. Just as Bainen whimpered, wiping her nose with the tips of her fingers, the driver from her driver’s seat opened the carriage door.
“Viscount Theorard, Miss Esily. We have arrived.”
“Okay. It was a lot of hard work.”
Theorard, who expressed his gratitude his, got off the carriage first. Then, Esily came down from the wagon in a graceful manner, carrying a large handbag.
Theorard, who had been clearing his throat as if something strange had happened in the carriage, raised his head. Then, involuntarily, my mouth opens wide at the unfolding view.
“This place…….”
As she approached, Silly laughed and listened to her words.
“Isn’t that where you used to go when you were little? After reaching a certain age, we couldn’t come because we were both busy with family matters.”
“It is as you say. It must be a precious memory, but I forgot about it because of my busy daily life. It’s fun and nostalgic because old memories seem to come up again and again.”
“…… How about old memories?”
Esily asked a question in a slightly expectant tone. Of the memories he had accumulated while playing house here as a child, the most obvious was, of course, when Theorard confessed.
Even though it was just a childhood prank, Theo Rad had plucked a dandelion flower, got down on his knees, and whispered love to Essilly.
It was a clichéd way of confessing that she would marry me, but Esily still couldn’t forget that scene.
‘Does Theorard remember that?’
Her heart races and her hands her grip the handle of her purse. As she waited for an answer with her flushed face, Theo Rad smiled modestly and pointed across her.
“At that point, Esily, you were crying and blowing and running around. I can still see her screaming that there was a bug on her back. I know how ridiculous you looked then-“
“Sir Theorard.”
Your voice is cold. When Theorard, startedled, looked to her side of her, Essily was perplexed while exuding an overbearing aura.
“It’s not fun at all.”
“Oh yeah…”
I don’t know why I was angry, but I agreed. Seeley sighed as Theorard admitted her wordlessly.
“Well, remembering things can’t be the same. Rather, go into the cabin now. There is something I want to do with Sir Theorard.”
“What do you want to do?”
Esily smiled brightly at Theorard’s question.
“What? I’ll let you know if you come with me.”
I don’t know what it is, but I have no reason to reject it. Theorard nodded his head and walked with Essilly to the cabin.
I didn’t hate the feeling of weeds tickling my ankles and passing by in a space where the sound of insects could be heard quietly.
Upon arriving at the cabin, Theorard grabbed the doorknob and pushed inside.
What a profit….
The rusted hinges engage and the door opens. The interior seen through the door was quite tidy, contrary to expectations. There was no dust, no cobwebs, and the windows were spotlessly clean.
Theo Rad, which was strange, looked back at him as he entered the cabin. He was just in case, but still. Esily was vigorously stretching her breasts.
“Esily, did you clean up separately?”
“Of course.”
“Didn’t you make the servants do it?”
“No. It’s a place with memories, so you can’t borrow someone’s hand. I arrived early yesterday and cleaned it up.”
Although the house is cramped, it would have been difficult to clean everything by myself. She really couldn’t help but be proud.
“It was a lot of hardship. It deserves praise.”
“Ehehe……. It’s nothing.”
A shy smile makes affection tickle. If I kept looking at it, I felt like I would lose my dignity without even realizing it.
Theorard, who intentionally cleared his throat and turned around, took a good look at the items in the cabin.
Wooden knives and chopping boards, small bowls and teacups, etc…….
It was a pleasure to look around because the items used for playing house were laid out intact. Among them, the most notable thing was a cutely decorated doll.
The two dolls were in the form of girls, and Esily and Theorard at the time played with them, claiming that they were daughters.
‘It’s a new feeling.’
As Theorard was playing with her doll her, reminiscing about her her, Essilie set her handbag on the table in the center of her room.
As I turn around at her dull sound her, I see Esily unlocking the lock on her leather case her. Theorard, who was watching the scene, spilled his words in passing.
“Then why did you suddenly ask to come here? Does it make you want to play house again?”
The hand that opened the case stopped.
‘Playing house?’
Serving homemade food, so looking at it macroscopically, it wasn’t wrong. Remembering her old memories of her, Esily covered her mouth and gave a small giggling.
“It is not wrong. Come to think of it, back in the day when we played house, we always started with eating. I remember Sir Theorard pretending to enjoy it when I served it with flowers and leaves.”
“Then we had a ceremony. The chief chamberlain, who was watching from the side, took on the role of officiating.”
“I see. Then make a baby…….”
Embarrassed by my words, Esily sighed. I was going to say that I made a doll in the shape of a baby, but the delivery was wrong.
For an instant, an awkward silence falls between the two. Theorard, who was embarrassed for a moment, spoke carefully as he held the doll in his arms.
“I hope you want to do it with me…….”
Absolutely not! I’ve never had such a wild idea! No, I’ve never had one, but… I’ve never thought of doing it in a place like this.
“That…”
Ashley’s face her flushed red. She didn’t know what to do, wiggling her fingers when Seely screamed in anger.
“It can’t be…… !”
Tears trickle out from her closed eyes.
Why today…… Nothing happened.
