Chapter 1047 – 1047. Between Obedience and Affection
As soon as Seong Su-ho left, Armonia opened her mouth with an expressionless expression.
“I apologize for asking Suho’s understanding first.”
“Oh, no. If you have anything to say, please say it.”
Armonia answered with an expressionless expression.
“Ms. Lena rules over many people, and in her commanding position, when emotional problems arise, she seems willing to solve them alone. And I think that’s a very smart approach.”
Armonia’s answer was longer than expected.
“Because most people feel negatively when their superiors worry about emotional issues.”
“…”
Lena nodded her head without saying anything.
An emotional person feels human, but it is difficult to regard it as a virtue of someone who governs a country or commands an army.
And Lena has always walked her life with the virtues of a monarch and commander as her guide.
“You don’t have to share your emotional issues with us. But… I want you to tell Suho everything. And that too as quickly as possible…”
“Ah… Just like you said…”
Lena tried to answer, but Armonia shook her head and cut her off.
“Do you know why I told you to tell me quickly?”
“If there is a reason…”
Lena answered confidently that the thought that immediately came to mind was the correct answer.
“To quickly report to the owner and resolve the problem quickly… Isn’t it?”
She was sure.
That’s the correct answer.
But Armonia immediately shook her head.
“No.”
“Is it because I cause discomfort to my master if I hold back my emotions for a long time?”
“Not even that.”
“Then…”
Lena continued to answer.
Everything was an answer related to Seong Su-ho.
But…
“Or with the master…” .”
“No.”
Before Lena could even begin to answer, she was told that her answer was wrong, so she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Looking at Lena like that, Armonia answered with an expressionless expression.
“Lena’s answer is also correct. All I can say is that it is different from what I meant. The reason I told you to quickly reveal your true feelings is…”
Armonia furrowed her brows and closed her eyes.
And then…
‘That look… You are building it.’
She narrowed her eyebrows and frowned.
She looked like she was remembering something she didn’t want to think about.
In fact, Lena looked at Armonia blankly, seeing her emotions for the first time.
After such a short silence, Armonia hardened her expression again and opened her eyes.
She then finished her answer again in a dry tone.
“It’s for Lena.”
“Me… For… Is it?”
It was so unexpected.
Of course, when Seong Su-ho went on a mission, she thought the answer would be to take care of him so that he wouldn’t get into trouble.
“That’s right. For Lena’s sake, I hope you will reveal all your inner feelings to Suho.”
However, Armonia sternly answered that it was for Lena, not for Seongsu-ho.
“Even if it’s late, it’s okay as long as you can be honest and solve it together. Just like today.”
“Ah…”
In an instant, Lena thought of one person.
‘Duke…’
Duke Peron… It was his own father.
The Duke of Peron taught Lena not as a ‘daughter’ but as a ‘successor’ who would rule her country throughout her life.
Even the Duke of Peron begged Lena not to go, looking for not her ‘heir’ but the ‘daughter’ she had kept hidden all her life when Lena revealed her decision to head to the battlefield of her death.
In his last moments of fainting, Duke Peron confided his true feelings to Lena.
At the time, she thought it was a means of pleading to prevent her daughter from going to war.
But after hearing Armonia’s words, Lena realized that her premise may have been wrong.
‘Duke, maybe… Thinking that it might be the last time, he might have conveyed his sincerity.’
It occurred to me that, rather than begging to be held, she may have been held to convey her true feelings.
When that thought came to mind, Lena smiled slightly without realizing it.
‘But eventually she met again. Thanks to the owner…’
Although Duke Peron’s body was in a weakened state, he was able to live comfortably for the rest of his life thanks to his saint’s protection.
But even that smile is short-lived…
‘Tsk…’
As soon as she remembered that she had received help from Seong Su-ho, her expression changed to grim.
It was because he felt that his help was too insignificant compared to what he had received.
‘Hurry… I want to become stronger and be helpful.’
Lena gathered her heart again, recalling the faith her Seongsuho had shown her earlier.
When Lena relaxed her expression, Armonia’s mouth opened.
“Are you organized?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. During the conversation…”
“No. Organizing your thoughts is always important.”
Lena was once again impressed by Armonia’s consideration.
She packaged ‘wandering thoughts during conversation’ as ‘organizing one’s thoughts.’
Facial expressions and voices that convey emotionlessness.
But at the end of that attitude, I always felt consideration.
And Lena was able to feel greater consideration in her Armonia’s final advice.
“It’s okay to be late as long as you can deliver it. But… I hope you keep in mind that some people break up without being able to convey that sincerity.”
It was like advice given to her by scratching her bones.
.
.
As Lena walked to the practice room, she remembered Armonia’s last advice.
‘… It must be your own experience.’
Armonia’s expression and voice were covered with emotion, but her advice would have sounded like a story from her own experience.
Armonia appears to be in her early 20s.
However, Armonia’s appearance was not fresh and fresh.
Like… It was like a vast universe covered in darkness.
‘But the universe is full of stars.’
A universe containing twinkling stars.
That was Lena’s assessment of Armonia.
And there was someone who agreed with Lena’s assessment.
‘Hanna Kang said she had similar thoughts.’
Kang Han-na growled as soon as she saw Lena.
But as soon as I saw Armonia, who was so strong, she naturally lowered her head.
It was the same for other family members.
Only the reactions to each other were different, but the instinctive feelings were not much different.
But there was only one other person.
‘The owner is the only one who can’t feel it.’
Seong Su-ho was the only one who treated Armonia without hesitation.
At first, I wondered if what men and women accepted was different.
However, she could tell that this was not the case as the time she spent thinking about it became longer.
‘Sometimes when I go out, other men’s reactions aren’t that different.’
When I went on a trip with my family, the people around Armonia were no different.
‘… Or do you only open your heart to the master?’
It was a question that could easily estrange the relationship with Armonia.
It didn’t mean anything bad.
Even if I only opened my heart to Seong Su-ho, I didn’t think it was a big problem.
But Lena shook her head.
‘No… Armonia is not that type of person. If that were the case, you wouldn’t have given me advice like before.’
Anyone who heard Armonia’s advice contained Lena’s concerns.
‘Why do I think like that…’
For a moment, Lena felt disgusted with herself for asking such questions.
‘The two of you… What kind of relationship is it… ?’
But her self-loathing was self-loathing, and her curiosity was curiosity.
While Lena stayed here, she was able to know that Armonia cared about Seongsuho more than anyone else.
No, this is a fact that everyone living on the ship knows well.
‘You said it was a relationship bound by a contract.’
Armonia and Seongsuho’s contract.
It wasn’t a big secret, so everyone in the ship knew it.
However, no one on the ship…
‘… No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like a contractual relationship.’
It was true that the two people were not considered to be in a contractual relationship.
But that’s why I couldn’t understand it.
‘The appearance of the master… No matter how much I think about it, this is not an attitude toward the opposite sex.’
Although Seong Su-ho often played mischievous pranks on Armonia, he could not sense her rational feelings in her attitude towards her.
The reason Lena could be sure of that was simple.
‘The emotions you show me… It’s so different.’
She knew because she had received affection herself.
Her feelings toward Armonia were very different from those toward other women, including herself.
‘Perhaps because of the contract… ?’
But she immediately shook off her thoughts by shaking her head.
‘Even if it’s to keep her promise, it’s not a reason to control your emotions.’
Moreover, I thought it was nonsense for Sung Soo-ho to hide his rational emotions, no matter how good of an actor he was.
Another guess.
‘Isn’t it to your taste, master…? ?’
Previously, she had been able to shake off the thoughts, but this time her brain reacted in rejection, causing her headache.
‘No. Anyone can see that he is the master’s type.’
Although Lena doesn’t know 100% of Seongsuho’s taste, she can be 100% sure that Armonia is her favorite.
It was an ironic situation, the more she thought about it, the more she fell into a labyrinth.
While Lena’s mind was trapped in her labyrinth, a single ray of light flowed in.
‘Somehow… With the duke…’
The moment I was about to grab the thread of light and go through the labyrinth, I heard a loud sound from far away.
“Ah, Lena!”
“Ah…”
Lena came to her senses and tried to smile when she heard that familiar voice.
However, instead of a smile, shock was forced onto her face.
“What is this… ?”
The person who called Lena was Viola, whose stomach was protruding like a pregnant woman.
***
“Suho. “Can I talk to Lena for a moment?”
“Oh yeah. I’ll go to the practice room and wait. “You two talk slowly.”
After leaving the office with an answer, I headed to the practice room.
And on the way to the practice room, I encountered an unexpected person.
“Ah! Mr. Suho!”
Viola.
It was also a viola with a belly that looked like it was carrying a child.
Viola ran toward me with an uncomfortable gait, smiling.
I was afraid she might fall, so I hurriedly approached and helped Viola up.
“Walk slowly. Then you fall.”
“Hehe, don’t worry. “It’s okay because there is ether.”
With Viola’s words, diamond dust formed around her body and quickly coalesced.
Tsutsutsutsutsu!
As soon as Viola saw the ether that appeared, she started stroking it.
“I can’t tell you how grateful I am that I was able to help Suho thanks to this kid.”
Ether started flying around Viola as if she was pleased with her praise.
But that joy is short-lived…
Tsutsutsutsu!
He suddenly started showing hostility towards me.
I wondered why the guy who had become calm due to the injection of semen had become grumpy again.
“… What did I do wrong again?”
Viola smiled bitterly and answered my question.
“Well, I guess I’m angry because my house was taken away for a moment.”
“Aha…”
The place where the ether lands in her master’s body is her womb.
Although the feeling of obscenity was strong, she was simply attracted to the presence of a woman who could embrace her.
However, I was able to find out more clearly through Armonia’s explanation earlier.
To be precise, the space where ether resides is dantian.
Ether enters the place where the Danjeon was.
However, since the dantian is located above the womb, it may be true that the ether has been robbed of her home.
Tsutsutsutsu!
The ether continues to show hostility towards me.
I’m heading towards that ether…
“Thanks. “For protecting Viola.”
Tsutsutsu!?
I petted him despite the pain.
It stung slightly, but that was only for a moment.
… Tsutsutsu!
It went crazy for a moment and then hid on Viola’s back.
Viola smiled brightly as she looked at the ether.
“I guess I’m embarrassed.”
“Maybe it’s just that I don’t like it.”
“Hehe, I think Suho is embarrassed too.”
Haha… But is your stomach really okay?”
“Ah! Are you okay! Rather, it’s fun!”
I smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, and Viola was enjoying the pregnancy game more than expected.
I was relieved to see Viola.
‘I don’t think it would be difficult to say it was difficult in just a day or two.’
If you think about it, the same goes for kids.
A child waddlingly trying on his mother’s high heels.
A child trying to lift the luggage that his father is carrying.
Even though it is difficult and uncomfortable, children laugh and enjoy the situation.
Well, that kind of fun won’t last more than a week.
‘I need to tell Armonia before I go to Suit.’
Armonia will stop you at the right time.
I had a conversation with Viola, who was walking briskly like a pregnant woman.
And as we continued talking, we arrived in front of the practice room.
“Ah, Viola. I was just about to ask…”
The moment I was about to ask for time control… Viola smiled brightly and raised her arms.
“Ah, Lena!”
“This… What is this… ?”
“Ah…”
Lena appeared.
And with a surprised expression that made his eyes pop out…
I could immediately guess why she was surprised.
‘Let me explain quickly.’
This may be the cause of Viola’s swollen stomach.
“Lena, that’s…”
The moment I try to resolve the thread of misunderstanding with an explanation…
“Mr. Lena! Look at my boat!”
As Viola touched her tossing belly, she poured out a bunch of her threads on the skein of misunderstanding.
“There’s a lot of Suho’s stuff in this boat!”
“Lord, master!?”
“…”
After that, I had to sweat it out trying to explain things to Lena.
