## Chapter 391 – A Lack of Intentionality (11)

.
Because she had fun hanging out with Vivian and the other older girls since her days as a delinquent.
She broke school rules and sometimes did bad things like bullying others, but she liked the feeling of being needed and recognized by someone while doing so.
Now, as the leader of the Beastkin Henia from the den, and nominally the head of the Swallow Faction under Vivian.
Her inner self was no different from those days.
“Great!! Vivian-nim will praise me for this!!”
Always loyal to Vivian, and proud of Vivian relying on her from time to time.
“Ahahaha!! Come at me!!
I’ll kill you all!!”
Even if someone blocked her path.
Vivian and Enic’s swords became an overwhelming terror that crushed everything in their way, sweeping away all obstacles.
“Ugh…!! Ahhh♡
Darling!! Harder…♡
With Darling’s magnificent thing…♡”
Sharing stimulating moments with Enic, who desired and craved her, and falling asleep in the relief and stability that poured in after climaxing.
“If I do it with you once, I’ll drain you at least five times.
I wonder if you can handle it?”
And thinking that it could never be genuine, she just wanted Enic to be more jealous and agitated, and she didn’t hesitate to sleep with male students at the academy to chase stimulation.
Perhaps it was because she couldn’t share her feelings with anyone other than Vivian or Enic, and she just denied the voice in her heart that told her this couldn’t go on.
But now, someone had appeared who told her that her current self was wonderful.
Now, realizing that she was wavering for the first time, Ranie’s emotions were gradually cracking without her even realizing it.
“Hey… is that, done?”
Finally unable to bear it, she tugged at Antonio’s cloak, who was still working, and asked.
“It seems like the evidence collection is done for now.
Now, I just need to take a picture of the scene with the crystal ball and preserve it…”
“Then… can we do it in a little bit?”
“It’s a quick task, so if you wait a little longer… Ugh…?”
Before Antonio could answer, Ranie was dragging him away with force, feeling the pressure from her hand.
The only thought in her head right now was that it just couldn’t be here.
Dragging Antonio away from the scene, Ranie opened the door to the opposite room and threw him onto the bed.
“What are you doing…!!”
“Prove it. You said I was wonderful, right?”
“Prove it, how can you do that like this… Kuk!!”
Throwing Antonio onto the bed, Ranie hid behind the partition prepared for the Henia who use Nemea for a moment before coming out.
The Nemea that had been covering her body in the form of clothes had all melted away, filling the empty skin with obscene tattoos.
Soon, she covered her breasts with her hands, revealing all the rest of her healthy naked body.
Ranie, walking out from behind the partition, crawled onto the bed and leaned towards Antonio, who was suddenly flustered.
“Just once is enough. Just once…”
Their faces had been red for a long time.
No matter how sensible Antonio was, he was still a man.
He wasn’t the type to turn away from a prepared meal, but the important thing was that he had someone he liked.
Just as he was about to firmly express his refusal.
“Really… can’t you…?”
The serious look in her eyes, which seemed more heavy than light, was reflected in his eyes.
He tried to avoid looking at Ranie’s eyes that were looking down at him, but eventually sighed softly and started looking straight into her eyes again.
“I don’t know why you’re doing this…
But I can’t take this lightly…”
“It’s just what I want?”
At Ranie’s words that cut off his last sentence of patience, the two men and women stared at each other in silence for a while.
“I want you to hold me warmly…”
And as if a starting signal had sounded at some point, they both groped each other’s bodies and gasped for breath at the same time.
.
.
.
A guest room in a brothel with an impressive large bed.
Inside, the torment of a young man who was experiencing a proper moment of clarity, with his forehead covered in sweat, was swirling violently.
But soon, a slender hand that coyly covered his naked body with a blanket and gently wiped his forehead with a handkerchief made Antonio smile awkwardly and close his eyes.
“You worked hard. You’re… strong?
I feel full?”
“I think there are better expressions for a joke…
I feel more like I’ve been squeezed dry…”
“Maybe? But right now…
This seems to be my best…
What I can do…”
As Ranie, who was smiling playfully, picked up the shirt that had fallen on the floor, Antonio smiled helplessly.
“Then… shall we get dressed, young master?
Eek!! Don’t get up if you’re dizzy…!!
You’ll fall over…!!”
“Ugh… I can’t just lie here forever.
I’ve never been like this even when I was drunk…”
She roughly dressed him in his shirt and clothes, and while he was getting dressed, Ranie went back behind the partition and made clothes with Nemea.
Unlike others, she could change clothes in an instant, and she quickly came out of the partition and started helping him get dressed again.
‘If I were married… if I had a husband…
Would I feel like this then?’
Something she had only experienced in her imagination.
Mixing bodies with her husband in an emotion full of love, dressing him in the clothes he had to leave the house in, and seeing the neat man leave the house.
Ranie, who had imagined such things like a girl, smiled to herself as she thought of a past story that suddenly came to mind.
“Why?”
Antonio looked bewildered, wondering if he had done something wrong, as if he was embarrassed by her smile.
Ranie shook her head at him and asked him in a light tone as she buttoned his shirt.
“Hey… it might sound strange…
But have you ever had an engagement, Antonio…?”
“I’ve heard such stories before.
It was for a short time a few years ago.”
“Really? Who was the other person?”
“The other person… I heard she was a noble from Groden.
I had a wayward friend.
I only heard that she was his younger sister.
I only talked about it jokingly with my friend.
But before I knew it, the higher-ups in the family were talking about it.
So I think I vaguely know who the other person is.”
“Vaguely?”
“I can’t say that in front of the woman I just slept with for the first time…”
“I don’t get jealous of things like that? It’s okay.”
“I heard that she was a student at the academy.
There was a kid who often hung around the engineering building where I was studying.
Ah, I graduated from the Engineering Department of Saint Flansina Academy.
Although I graduated last year.
It sounds like I’m being self-conscious when I say this.
But when I think about it now, I think it might have been that kid.
In the end, the engagement was completely broken when she went missing.”
“Missing… Hmm…?
You said no one told you?
How do you know that?”
“As you said, the elders didn’t tell me anything, but this is just my guess.
In order for a smooth engagement to suddenly break, there must be an appropriate incident.
If it’s not a problem between families, it must mean that a serious accident has occurred.”
“Uh-huh… I guess so…?”
As Antonio began to explain his reasoning in a logical manner, Ranie began to feel a strange sense of incongruity.
“But I haven’t heard any stories about someone dying in the academy for a while.
And at that time, I heard that there were two female students who went missing from the academy.”
“So there are two people, not just one?
How do you know which one is your fiancée?
Did you just guess 50/50?”
“I could tell by looking at the portrait. One had blue hair.
And the other one… still remains in my memory.
She was always looking for someone, as if she was going to work all over the engineering building.
Especially her tightly tied blonde hair, shaking like a ponytail, was quite cute.
My friend had the same blonde hair as that kid.
He’s a guy who’s amazing at picking up girls.”
At Antonio’s nostalgic voice, Ranie felt the strange sense of incongruity that had been lingering in her head slowly finding its identity, and she froze.
‘He said he’s a close friend of Oppa.
He said he’s from a noble family in Bareumhausen?
I think he said he’s somewhere in the engineering department?’
‘Where is his family from…?
He said it’s a very promising place?
Shu… Shush… Shook…!! Stark? Stelf?’
‘Antonio von Sterben.’
‘I graduated from the Engineering Department of Saint Flansina Academy.
Although I graduated last year.’
‘Sterben…’
Even so, Antonio, who was buttoning his sleeve, did not notice that her eyes, which were smiling as naturally as possible, were not smiling at all.
She was just staring at his profile with a dumbfounded look in her eyes at the trick of fate.
“That younger sister? Ahahaha!!
That’s… what happened…”
‘It was you.
My fiancé…’
“I used to wonder what I would say to my fiancée when I met her, what she would like.
I wondered if she would laugh if I told her what I was thinking before we met like this.”
‘From the beginning… we were meant to be one…’
“Thinking about it that way, Lady Ranie might be quite similar to that kid.
Especially her hair.
It was like golden blonde hair, like spun gold.
Is it because the atmosphere is familiar… I think I’m saying more unnecessary things than I thought.”
Perhaps it was because the walls of his heart had crumbled a little after they had sex.
Antonio, who was continuing the story in a more comfortable tone than before, finally draped his cloak around his back as if he was swinging it, and fixed it with a neatly gilded gold brooch.
On top of that, he put on the hairpin with the butterfly pattern that he had taken off earlier.
Ranie, who had been momentarily distracted by the brooch he had given her earlier and the butterfly hairpin that had reappeared, raised her head as if she was possessed by the last word she heard and began to look into Antonio’s eyes.
“Including that, I think Lady Ranie is a good person.
I’ll guarantee it once again, this time more definitely.”
“Yeah… well, I have to go to work now…!!”
“I can do it alone from now on, so it’s okay.
Thank you for today… Ranie…”
In the end, Antonio, watching Ranie’s back as she ran out of the room like the wind with a red face before he could finish his words, smiled helplessly.
“She’s a really unpredictable lady.
I might not even know her as well as Carla.
Regulus. What happened today is a secret?”
– Peep!! Peep!!
He was covering his head with his wings as if he was embarrassed, even though he was seeing everything through the steel feathers.
He picked up Regulus, who was chirping, and put him on his shoulder. He then left the room and went straight to the opposite room, took out a fist-sized crystal ball to take pictures of the scene.
And suddenly, as a question flashed through his head, his expression was gradually tinged with doubt.
“Wait, that fiancée from back then…
I saw her in the missing person’s notice…
Why? I can’t remember well.
What was her name…?”
As he was leaving the guest room, four pairs of eyes, as glossy as the transparent crystal ball, were staring down at him from the corner of the ceiling of the guest room with an emotionless gaze, befitting the eyes of a monster.
