Chapter 98 – Temptation in the Mansion (5)
I tried to make an excuse, but my mouth wouldn’t come out. It was because I couldn’t anticipate what the elf in front of me was tying me up for.
‘…… Could it be that he noticed my true identity?’
I thought about it, but I couldn’t. In addition to hiding all of the magic, the current Lerazie even changed its appearance.
It is said that she was perfectly disguised so that even if a saint of the church came, she would not be easily noticed.
Even so, the elf is suspicious of this side. A certain kind of fear in her made Lera Jie’s heart beat, but she didn’t show her outwardly. Because she had no small chance that the elf was guessing.
“Aren’t you a puppy? What do you want to say?”
She asked back without losing her composure. She didn’t forget to tilt her head as if she didn’t know why.
Perhaps she didn’t have anything to say for Lera Jie to behave naturally, but the elf lowered her head as if she understood after she was silent for a while.
“I’m sorry. It looks like her hairy cat, her stained her dress, her. Please forgive me if I misunderstood.”
She did it anyway. In Lera Jie’s eyes, the elf was nothing more than raising her suspicions of her without knowing the identity of her opponent.
It’s not something I don’t understand. The familiar was found in her mansion the day before her, so it’s only natural that her nerves are on edge.
Anyway, at this point, with no clear evidence, it was as if the initiative had returned to Lellajie rather than the Elves.
Lera Jie let out a sigh of relief inside her, erasing her tension and holding her smile her.
“Yes. I will forgive you with the same heart as Hahae. But if you are rude like this one more time, will I not stand still?”
“I will not be rash. Thank you for your grace.”
He was replying politely, but the elf’s accent was thorny. He doesn’t want to do it, but since he has a strong feeling of forcing himself to apologize, he has a strange desire to bully him.
As Lera Jie, intrigued by her, was about to tease her elf some more, she heard a knock and a shout from Harvey.
“Viscount Theorard, head of the Deharm family and vice-count of the Countess of Pelgarin, is entering!”
Kiki-Ik-
The door to the drawing room opened on both sides, and Theorad, dressed in neat clothes, walked out. Beneath the graphite-black hair his, light brown eyes narrowed lazily, looking deep in thought.
With his high nose and slim jawline, there was no doubt that he was a handsome man. To the point where I want to see him kneel down in succumb to his lust.
‘Whoops. The real thing is better?’
Looking at Theorard, I think it was a good idea to come to the mansion in person. Lerazie, who had taken the elf’s presence as an afterthought, looked at Theorad and smiled brightly.
“Viscount Theorard! It is an honor to meet you!”
“…….”
However, Theorard did not answer. He stopped at a short distance and just stared at Lera Jie.
Lera Jie, who was wondering about that, was far away, so she sighed lowly, and Theorard opened her mouth as if advising.
“Baron Branda. You are here as her guest her. Besides, we don’t even know each other. Am I right?”
“…… Is that right?”
“If so, what is the reason for your visit?”
“Well, to talk to Viscount Theorard about the pepper business…….”
“Okay. As you said, I have prepared this place to share a public story, not to have a sad conversation.”
“Yes? What about it?”
I asked what was the problem, but what I got back was a sharp look and silence.
After a moment of stillness, Lera Jier noticed that Theo Rad was not sitting in the chair, and that he was sitting in the chair talking.
You’re acting tight in an unexpected place.
‘Hmm. I hate stubborn men.’
Lerazier, muttering inwardly, got up from her seat and was polite.
“I am Baron Brenda Frederi, the eldest daughter of the Frederi family and a native of the Agela Kingdom. I came here shamelessly to talk with Viscount Theorard about his pepper business his.”
“My name is Theorard Deharm, a subject of the Esteban Empire, head of the Deharm family, and vice-count of the Countess of Pelgarin. Thank you for coming from afar. Sit down.”
Lerazier, who had been given permission, sat down, and Theorard sat down on the other side of the chair. Then, David and the attendant who were waiting by the side brought refreshments and set them on the table.
Baljieum chocolate and black tea prepared in an instant have an appetizing color. By the way, no matter how much a guest is, you give something this expensive? Lerazie was at a loss, so Theorard raised his hand and invited him.
“Eat. Balgeom chocolate is not easily available even in the capital, so you will definitely like it.”
“Ah, I will.”
After nodding his head, Lera Jie lifted the chocolate and put it in his mouth her. Oh dog – With a cheerful sound, the broken pieces of chocolate meet the saliva and melt gently.
“Um~”
Perhaps because it was high-quality chocolate, the sweet and bitter taste spread throughout the mouth. A hearty smile spread across Theorard’s lips as Lerazier held his cheek with a satisfied expression.
“Does it taste good?”
“Yes. But it’s interesting. I never thought I would eat something like this here.”
After talking to Lerajie, I wanted to take a break. What he just said was, in a broader sense, the same as belittling the Deharm family.
However, Theorard raised the teacup with a relaxed gesture, as if not to mind.
“It’s quite expensive for a small family to always prepare. But I cannot give up.”
“…… Why?”
“These are the people who came to my mansion despite the troubles on any business. Of course you should be treated.”
“Aha…….”
Are you serious? Lera Jie looked at her suspiciously, but there was no deceit in Theo Rad’s look at her as she finished her sentence and sipped her tea.
‘It’s very different from what I imagined…….’
I thought she was a perverted person because she had turned Seredi into an unstoppable level, but she was full of sympathy for what she said.
Is she the type to be ruthless only to the beings she defines as her enemies her? Lera Jie, who had been observing Theo Rad narrowing her eyes, passed the chocolate left in her mouth over her throat.
‘Well, I’ll find out soon.’
Theorard’s intentions should be taken slowly from now on, so there is no need for him to be in a hurry. Having finished her thoughts, Lera Jie looked at Theo Rad and smiled kindly.
“Anyway, Viscount Theorard. I have something to tell you about the pepper business, can you pass on the servants around you?”
“Yes? Why do users…….”
“We have to discuss business secrets, but if there are many ears to listen, isn’t it?”
It’s a lie. Actually, it was to send that strange elf out.
It was indispensable to release the demonic energy in order to attack Theorad, and it was clear that the moment the elf noticed it, the work would become difficult.
“It makes sense.”
Theo Rad, unable to understand Lera Jie’s intentions, nodded his head.
“Chairman. Take the servants out.”
At Theo Rad’s words, Harvey bows his head and steps back.
When David snapped his fingers and pointed to the door, naming servants with his hand gesture, the servants who recognized it as a signal rushed out.
“You come here too.”
The elf was no exception, so he was caught and dragged by Harvey’s hand his.
Thanks to that, in the living room where only the two of them were left, Lera Jie intentionally cupped her chin and half-opened her eyes.
“Viscount Theorard? Why did you start growing pepper trees?”
“There are many reasons, but if I had to pick one, it was because I decided that the long-term business was possible. If the growing conditions are good, you can see the fruit for almost 40 years.”
“Okay~”
Lera Jie’s face smiles as she agrees. At the same time, a small amount of demonic energy slowly leaked from Lerajie’s body to her.
This method, which has a principle similar to that of insects releasing pheromones, was a unique magic that attracted the opponent before they even sensed danger.
“By the way, the viscount was very handsome. He must have been popular with women?”
“Well. Celebrity…… I don’t think there were many……”
Theorad’s tail lengthens and his pronunciation begins to slurp. In addition, he didn’t notice anything strange, even though he was talking about something completely unrelated to the pepper business.
It was evidence that Theorard had begun to fall under the charm spell.
“A. I guess you were popular? Of course, I also have feelings for Viscount Theorard.”
“To me… I mean…”
The pupil that was intelligent is gradually released. It was the sound of consciousness sinking and unconsciousness rising to the surface. Lera Jie gave a small chuckle and licked her tongue.
“Yeah~ That’s what I’m saying, but don’t you have any intention of having a deep relationship with me?”
Lera Jie stretched out her hand and lightly stroked the back of Theo Rad’s hand. Theo Rad stared at Lera Jie with cloudy eyes and opened his mouth blankly.
“Deep…… Relationship….”
“Yes. Doing dirty things with me.”
“Naughty…… ? That’s not okay…….”
Can’t you? Usually, if you do this much, most of them will pass.
Lerazie frowned and muttered annoyedly.
“Why? Why not?”
“To me, Esily…… No more nuisance…….”
“Aha. What a great love.”
It was shocking to think that he was suppressing his instincts even when he was close to unconsciousness.
However, the current Theorade is nothing but a body in oblivion. If the strength of the charm magic was increased a little more, it would eventually be broken. There has never been a man that Lerazier has not seduced.
As if watching prey caught in a spider’s web, Lerazier smiled happily.
“But what? Now you have to give me that love-“
Thud!
Theorad’s shoulders tremble thanks to the sudden opening of the door. Theorard, disenchanted by his external shock, blinked at his bewildered face.
“Yes? What just happened…….”
The elf strode over to Theo Rad and borrowed her ear from her. Hearing the whispers of the elf, Theorard hurriedly rose from his seat as a surprised rabbit.
“Sir, the chief chamberlain suddenly collapsed?”
The news that his adoptive father, Harvey, had passed out, came as a shock to Theo Rad. Theorard, stunned, turned to Lerazier.
“Lady Branda! I’m sorry, but I’ll have a look at the state of the chamberlain! Please wait a moment!”
“Oh, well. I know.”
Hearing the answer, Theorard kicked the floor and left the drawing room.
The elf, who watched Theo Rad leave the drawing room, slowly turned her head and glared at Lera Jie. The murderous spirit in his red eyes and her shines in a creepy blue color.
“You really don’t notice.”
It’s embarrassing because she talks nonsense.
“Why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden…….”
Thinking she was caught, the moment Lella Jie tried to remove her hand her from her table, the elf picked up her knife and took it down.
Bang!
“——!”
Lera Jie let out her scream and reflexively looked down at her hand her. Red blood is seen gushing out from the back of her pierced hand.
“Keep it off…… !”
Grinding his teeth in pain, the elf leaned his upper body against the table.
Her silver hair her, which ran down her shoulders her, landed on the table and became disheveled. The elf, watching Lera Jie’s face her distorted by her pain her, grabbed her chin and made her look up at herself.
Goosebumps all over her body. Lera Jie was so scared that the elf staring at her would kill her, she was really scared to death.
“Ouch, black…… !”
In the cold atmosphere, Lera Jie holds back her screams and weeps.
The elf, who had been looking at Lera Jie indifferently, quietly opened her words to her.
“Cat.”
Beneath the empty eyes of his, the elf’s lips moved fiercely.
“You are right.”
