Chapter 213 – For You for Me (2)
…… The cherry blossom petals leaping from the tips of the branches flutter and fall. The petals swaying here and there, drawing an unstable trajectory, were naturally attracting attention.
“Pretty…….”
Lynea sat down under the cherry tree in full bloom and exclaimed in a small voice. The figure of her kneeling on her mat, well dressed in her maid’s uniform, is a bit strange.
‘Cherry blossoms that bloom in autumn…….’
It was not a common sight even in the Great Forest. Indeed, the cherry blossoms in full bloom could be said to be a miracle created by humans who pursue immortality in beauty.
Linea, who was watching the scattering cherry blossoms with her red eyes blinking, looked down. I can see the hard-made sandwiches stacked neatly in the picnic basket next to her lap her.
You should eat it before it goes bad. As I am muttering to myself, I hear footsteps in the distance. Her wide, ringing footsteps made Linea’s pointed ears perk up.
She gladly turns her head, and just in time, Theo Rad appears in her corridor. Theo Rad, who had been tying her brooch to control her breathing her, entered the courtyard wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“Sorry. Is it too late?”
It’s too late. About five minutes and thirty seconds. However, Linea did not question Theorard. She didn’t know that while she was busy preparing for the wedding, she made time for it.
In addition, looking at the sweaty forehead of her and rough breathing of her, it seems that he ran quickly to not be late for the appointment, but how could he be angry? It was an understandable situation.
“It’s okay. I didn’t wait long.”
“Then you are fortunate. May I sit next to her?”
“Ah, yes. Of course.”
After receiving her permission her, Theorard takes the seat next to Linea.
Theorard, who was breathing with his back against the pillar of the cherry tree in full bloom, burst into a low laugh all of a sudden. Linea, who was puzzled by that, tilted her head.
“…… Why are you laughing?”
Theorard, with her laugh, looked back at her Linea. There is a playful aura in her soft light brown eyes.
“Because something funny happened. Just listen. She was going to rehearse for the ceremony at the church hall, but he must have appeared wearing a suit that didn’t fit her body. How funny she is because her waddle she is manly.”
“Does Bay Nun wear her suit her?”
“Okay. Because she can’t be in armor even at a ceremony. Anyway, the chief chamberlain, worse than that, is about to leave in her carriage to buy her Beynon’s clothes. I’m so glad she did the rehearsal. Otherwise , she would be embarrassed in front of her friends tomorrow.”
Seeing Theorard telling stories is quite enjoyable. She didn’t laugh too much, to be honest, but the feeling that Theo Lard liked it made her feel excited as well.
If time like now continues, there will be no wish. Leaning towards her Theo Rad, Linea addressed her gracefully.
“Did anything else happen?”
“Well. Except for the incident with Bainen’s suit, there was nothing much different from usual. After all, she is doing her job with her.”
“I see…”
The fact that the preparations for the wedding are going well is definitely a blessing, but I am embarrassed by the lowering voice and crooked smile of her.
Recognizing that she was indecent, Linea hurriedly pulled her body her back. It would have been a big deal if Theorard had misunderstood.
“Linea?”
Theorard, who was curious about that, looked at him with a somewhat worried expression, but Linea didn’t care. She just put the picnic basket on her lap as if nothing had happened.
Theorard’s interest in Linea naturally shifts to the picnic basket. Theo Rad exclaimed when he found the sandwich, and Linea pursed her lips with a bashful laugh.
“I made this.”
“Really? Didn’t the chef help you?”
“Yes. It’s okay?”
Theorard, who picked up the sandwich, replied as if it were natural.
“It’s not good enough. That’s great.”
It wasn’t something he said to cheer up Linea, it was his sincerity in her.
Sandwiches are basically an easy food to make. Because just putting fresh ingredients between bread and bread makes it nominally a sandwich.
Hana Linea’s sandwich has a different texture. Not only were the contents between the bread colorful, but the homemade sauce was appropriately spread between the layers.
Whether the bread that forms the skeleton of the sandwich was also made by hand, I couldn’t find the distinctive crumblyness of old bread.
I can’t even guess how much care went into the sandwich in front of me. He probably went through all the hardships to make a sandwich from early morning until now.
Linea, who was making the sandwich while wiping the sweat from her forehead, seemed to flicker in her eyes of her. Feeling her gratitude her, Theo Rad took a bite of the sandwich.
Pasasak-
Soft bread and crunchy vegetables meet well-grilled bacon and homemade sauce, and they run harmoniously in your mouth.
Linea did not simply use a lot of ingredients to make the sandwich, but it was to the extent that the traces of thoroughly struggling with the taste the ingredients would have on each other could be seen. In short, it sounds delicious.
‘It’s good.’
Watching Theorard savoring the taste of the sandwich as he mumbles makes me feel warm. However, on the other hand, she was also worried, so Linea looked at Theorard and carefully asked.
“…… Tasty?”
It’s a sandwich that I prepared hard to be delicious, but if the party doesn’t like it, it won’t be meaningful. As Linea watched her restlessly inside her, Theo Rad, who swallowed the sandwich in her mouth, looked down at Linea and smiled brightly.
“I’m not kidding, it’s really delicious. It’s a secret, but….”
Theo Rad, who was watching her surroundings her, gently bent her waist and whispered so that only Linea could hear.
“…… Your cooking is better than the chef’s cooking.”
A voice ringing in her ears makes her blush. Even though he hates Theorad, who naturally bewitches him, he somehow feels better.
“Ah, if you want…….”
“Continue?”
Theorad, knowingly but subtly asking, approaches him in a nasty way. Deciding that there would be nothing good to be caught up in like this, Linea brushed off her skirt and stood up from her seat.
“I’ll bring you something to drink. I forgot and left it in the drawing room.”
“Ah. If that’s the case……”
She was about to tell her to sit down because I’ll bring it, but Linea was already walking out of the courtyard.
I don’t know what was so busy, but she had no intention of overturning Linea’s choice of her. Theorard let out a low laugh and took another bite of her sandwich as he leaned against the trunk of her tree.
*
While Theo Rad was enjoying her alone time, Linea arrived at her drawing room, took a teapot and a teacup filled with black tea, and headed back to the courtyard.
However, she could not enter the courtyard. It was because she was talking to her servant her while Theo Rad stood up from her seat her.
Linea, whose mood was a bit stern, hid herself behind a pillar in her corridor and overheard her story.
“…… For example, the Mantran family also kicked out sex slaves after marriage.”
“An example cannot be justified. Also, the Deharm family will never expel a family member from the mansion unless the person in question commits a major mistake.”
“I know, but I’m worried that there will be a scandal, so it’s better to banish-“
“Iran! What the hell do you say you know about Linea!”
When Theorard became angry, which was unusual, the servant hurriedly lowered his head. He believedly recognized that he had made a fool of himself.
“Go, my lord. I guess I went crazy for a while. Please forgive me….”
Theorard sighed lowly as he watched the serviceman crouching in a cold sweat. It is not likely that Airan conveyed his opinion with bad intentions, so it was because he was reluctant to get even more angry.
“…… Linea is more scarred and pitiful than you think. So let her never again speak her words her to expel Linea from her mansion her. She won’t tolerate it twice. Do you understand?”
“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”
“If you understand, just leave.”
The servant with his head bowed came out of the courtyard as if running away.
The servant’s footsteps were receding, but Linea didn’t think of coming out from behind her pillar her. For her uneasy quivering heart made her whole body hard as her wooden stone.
‘I…….’
Could it be that he is becoming a burden to Theorard? The perspective that even the thought of wanting to live by her side of her can become selfish makes her hand her holding the teapot tremble.
She was immersed in her thoughts for a while, but Linea shook her head to clear her mind. When Linea plucked up her courage to step out next to her pillar, she smiled kindly as if she had just arrived.
“I brought you tea, Theorard.”
Because I didn’t want to ruin the time we spent together for the first time in a long time.
*
In the evening, when she returned to her attic, Linea took off her hairband to her. Then she throws off her maid uniform and stockings, then she crawls into bed.
Lynea, with her head on her pillow and her blanket pulled up to her chest, looked out her window with her blurry eyes. Starlight from the clear night sky illuminated her hall in the dark.
Normally, she would have finished her day admiring the cluster of stars embroidering the sky, but today she couldn’t do that. It was because Theorard was worried about the conversation he had with the servant.
─ It is said that after marriage, she casts out sex slaves.
It was just confusing at the time, but it makes sense now. I don’t know if it’s another family, but the Deharm family was a prestigious family that boasted history and legitimacy.
So living with a sex slave even after marriage was like damaging the family’s honor. Nevertheless, Theorard made the choice to embrace Linea.
It makes me feel guilty even though I am grateful for it. Lynea let out a low sigh and closed her eyes. The words spoken by Theo Rad were vividly recalled in her mind.
─ As for Linea, she is more scarred and pitiful than you think.
The words that Theorard put forward in her defense of Linea. She is a wounded and pitiful woman. Her sympathetic tone her annoys Linea.
Maybe Theorard only thinks of me as pitiful. If Theo Rad was taking me out of mere sympathy, she was at a loss as to what to do.
‘Theorard…….’
Her closed eyes her half open. Her sad eyes her narrowed like an idiot, and her softly open mouth her was undoubtedly distorted.
Linea, who had been crying for her, barely came to her senses her and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. Lynea then turned to her side and calmed her down by curling up on her body.
However, it was not able to calm down the questions arising from the base. It was because the doubt that started once was ruminating on Linea’s memories of her like a night that could not be quenched…….
