Chapter 81 – The Young Lady I Want to Love (4)
It’s cute to see Esily with her face down in embarrassment as she blushes. With a little exaggeration, she felt as if hot steam was rising over her head.
She was Theorard, who wanted to make fun of her more, but she decided to restrain herself because Essilie was more troubled than she thought.
“If you say that, stop it. But.”
Theo Rad picked up her picture book and patted Esily on the head.
“Lying is a sin. Especially if it’s a lie that she doesn’t have to hide. There is no need to deny her past cute behavior of her.”
“Still, to be ashamed is to be ashamed…….”
“It’s embarrassing to think it’s embarrassing. I, too, did something similar to Ashley when I was young. But she has never felt ashamed of it.”
Similar behavior? As she slowly raises her head, curiosity drifts in Shili’s blue eyes in her.
“…… What did you do?”
“Every time I think of you, I wrote a poem for you. As I wrote it, it became so large that it was compiled into a collection of poems. The collection of poems is currently enshrined in the library of Deharm Mansion.”
“Then… Sir Theorard had a cute side when he was young.”
“Only you.”
When Theo Rad smiles and responds to his words, the heat that had been sitting at best rises again. Regardless of her will her, Shili puffed out her cheeks as if she had suddenly had a heartache.
“Sir Theorard. If you keep teasing me, I will get angry.”
“I get it. Really don’t stop.”
Theorard, with a faint smile, put the [Cute moment] Back in its original place. Then he was started to find a book with a familiar title by chance nearby.
[The Obscene Hobgoblin Maid]
I closed my eyes and tried to open them, wondering if I had seen it wrong, but there was a book with the same title. That fact gave Theorard some kind of fear.
‘Your Excellency Count…… ?’
Why is His Excellency the Earl, who is fair and innocent and serves as an example for all nobles, to buy such an insane book and keep it in his personal library His?
It was a difficult problem that could not be thought of rationally.
Are the contents the same? As Theorard stretched out his hand as if bewitched, and took out the [Slutty Hobgoblin Maid], Esily, who had been watching from the side of her, averted her gaze and shook her head.
However, there was no way Theorard, who was still in shock, could not notice Esily’s movements of hers.
He opened the book and flipped through it several times before realizing that it was the same as the book in the study in Deharm Mansion.
‘Did my father give it to His Excellency as a gift?’
There was no way that His Excellency the Count had purchased such pornography separately, so that was the only possibility.
But as far as I know, there are no cases where pornography is given as a gift. Even witches who are proficient in obscenity might not know about it, but could pornography come and go in transactions between aristocrats?
Questions bite after tail, complicating the mind.
I’m not sure, but there must have been a good reason for this book to come and go. Theorard, who had erased his doubts out of respect for the Count, put the book back in its original place.
She let out a sigh and looked to her side to see Esily, unable to meet her gaze her, sweating profusely. In addition, her twisted lips her seem to be at a loss as she trembles.
‘Why is that?’
I don’t understand, so I look at her still, so her Esili’s face her gets hotter and hotter. Theorard, who wanted to know what he was thinking, looked back on his actions and belatedly stunned.
It wasn’t another book, I even took out a book called ‘The Obscene’ Hobgoblin Maid and opened it.
Just by looking at the title, Essilly could have been mistaken since she had seriously viewed it as pornography and then covered it up and put it back in.
But misunderstood! Of course, I’ve read [The Lewd Hobgoblin Maid] In the mansion, but I did it out of puberty curiosity, and I’m not interested in pornography at all!
‘How should I explain…….’
My head hurts. In her confused mind her, Theo Rad took a deep breath and opened her mouth.
“Esley. I’m telling you in advance in case she’s imagining something strange…….”
“Gwa, it’s okay.”
Ethily, gulping her saliva, she mustered up her courage to face Theorard.
“Sir Theorard is an adult who has completed the coming-of-age ceremony. Besides, being a man in his prime, I don’t think he can be blamed for his interest in his in pornography.”
“No. Once I said-“
“Rather, I think everyone is fortunate, right? The fact that Sir Theorard’s hobbies include reading pornographic books and having appreciation is proof that he is healthy in terms of sexuality…… !”
“Esley.”
“If it doesn’t show on the outside, I think it’s a pretty healthy hobby. Well, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t show off at all. Go, if it’s just a light act, I can satisfy Sir Theorard’s desire a little…….”
Essily opened her eyes wide and shook her head, as if surprised by what she said.
“Oh, nothing!”
It was really upsetting. Not only did he stutter in embarrassment, his tone her was off center. The gibberish of words that couldn’t be grasped only added to the guilt on this side.
It was as if an imaginary person called ‘Theorad who enjoys obscene books’ had already been created in Esily’s head her.
It was a devastating feeling for Theorard. Misunderstandings are easy, but it takes a long time to clear them up. It was just embarrassing in the absence of clear evidence to prove that it was not.
Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to go with the regular method. Theo Rad grabbed Esily by the shoulder and opened his mouth with seriousness.
“Esley. Do you trust me?”
A low-pitched voice that is pleasant to listen to calms the mind. Essilly looked at Theo Rad and gently nodded his head her.
“I have seen pornography unintentionally, but I have no interest in it at all. The book I just took out was also in my father’s study, so I just looked at it out of curiosity. Will you believe me?”
“Really…… ?”
The eyes looking up at Theorard flickered like innocent sheep. Theorad’s bones hurt from the pitiful sound of the creeping voice. Because I wanted to know if someone saw it and tried to eat it.
“Okay. So there is no need to be unnecessarily wary of me. I don’t hide anything from you, so I don’t deviate much from ‘the me you know’. I can bet on the honor of the Deharm family. “
“That goes for me too…….”
Esily’s eyes soften as she shyly confesses. She was a little embarrassed because it seemed to erase her doubts her right away when she told me to believe, but thinking that she was sincere, she was n’t bad.
“I’m glad you got through.”
Theorard, relieved, suddenly felt a chill and cast his gaze toward the window of the study. While Esily and I were talking about this and that in the study, the world was already under the starlight.
They say pleasure eats up time. It was regrettable that time had passed, but it was unavoidable.
Theorard, who had been embarrassed for a moment, looked back at Esily and let out a wry smile.
“I guess I should stop going now. By now, it’s time for Her Highness the Princess and Her Excellency Leoberg to return the plates and go to their respective rooms.”
That’s right. It’s because I can’t stay stuck here forever and have a sad conversation.
Esily agreed with a serious face.
“I see. Confessing later is a much better option than getting caught.”
“Because that side can get a commutation.”
“As expected, Sir Theorard is an evil thief.”
“I take it as a compliment.”
A playful smile blooms on each other’s faces. But at the end, a bitterness that I couldn’t hide settled down.
It was because it was unclear when they would be able to have a tryst again after this meeting.
But I didn’t want to have a gloomy farewell. Theorard cleared his throat and said brightly.
“Oh. Do you still have one wish left? If it’s okay, let me tell you in advance here and now. Whatever your wish, I will make sure it comes true.”
“…… What is your wish?”
Last remaining wish. I was a little embarrassed to say that now. Esily’s last wish was in the distant future.
‘It’s only natural that you want to hold a ceremony with Sir Theorard…….’
I wanted to take the next step in my engagement. I wanted to wake up in the same bed every morning and treat you to delicious food.
In the spring, they wanted to go on a picnic to a garden full of cherry blossoms, play in the water in a cool valley in the summer, read a book together in front of a bonfire in the fall, and make snowmen that resemble each other in the winter. We wanted to grow old slowly while caring for each other.
However, in the current situation, everything was an uncertain future.
Essilly, knowing full well that saying that he wanted to marry would put a heavy burden on Theo Rad, she had no choice but to keep his feelings down there.
“My last wish is…….”
Esily put on a bright smile, trying to breathe life into her muffled voice.
“Sir Theorard will be happy.”

On the other hand, the kitchen in Building 1 of the castle.
“Is that guy? I came here because it was pretty, but the rumors weren’t wrong.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen an elf. I thought he only existed in fairy tales.”
“I know. But I heard that you cook very well.”
Buzz buzz. An elf surrounded by countless cooks was sitting at the head of the kitchen, waiting for the sous-chef to cook.
Why did things turn out this way?
The head maid released an elf into her kitchen to do chores, so the head chef in charge of the kitchen asked the elf if she had any experience cooking, and then ordered her to simply shred it.
There were a lot of people who went on vacation, so they were in a position to borrow at least a cat hand because there was a shortage of workers, but the elf completed the shredding in an instant with very skillful hand movements.
The head chef, who was impressed by it, asked about the elf’s cooking history, and the elf talked about the dishes he had cooked so far, as well as his related knowledge of her.
Naturally, the head chef fell in love with the elf’s in-depth knowledge of his and spread rumors that the elf was an excellent cook in the Great Forest.
So, all the cooks who had finished their work flocked to the kitchen in Building 1 of the castle, and the sous-chef among them bravely challenged them by saying, “I will prepare a dish that even the chefs of Great Forest fall in love. With!”
“Ruler! It’s done!”
The sous chef set the plate in front of the elf.
It was a grilled fish dish, salmon fillet steak.
I chose corn salad as a garnish. At first glance, it may feel messy, but the harmonious arrangement enhances the quality of the dishes.
“Well.”
On the surface, there seemed to be no problem. The elf who gave him a passing score nodded his head, then spread the fish flesh and put it in his mouth his.
Well well. The fish meat he had chewed several times passed over his throat. After the evaluation, the elf put down her spoon and looked up at the sous chef with a graceful attitude.
“The sous chef? I feel really fortunate that the sous chef is working in this castle.”
“Haha. It was so delicious-“
“I would have starved to death if I sold this kind of food on the street.”
The sous-chef’s complexion froze in an instant. It was an indescribable shock.
Either that or not, the elf took a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth with a leisurely hand and smiled.
“Sous-chef, always be grateful to the benevolent Count Leoberg.”
By mentioning His Excellency His, the refutation is also blocked in advance…… ! While the sous chef grabbed the back of his neck in a tremendous wave of attacks, some of the chattering cooks raised their hands proudly.
“I will challenge you next time!”
“Not! I’m next! I’ll flatten that elf’s nose!”
In the kitchen of the first building of the castle, a cooking contest was unfolding out of nowhere.
