Chapter 21 – Episode 21 Yoojun Choi and Maurice’s Sincerity
Good luck.
I looked at Emir in silence.
Had I been standing outside?
Sweat broke out on her face.
Perhaps she could not bear the hot sun of Roland, her face turned slightly red.
It was obviously waiting for me to come out.
That’s for over 5 hours.
“What a coincidence. It wouldn’t be easy to meet like this.”
“Yeah, I will. Hehe.”
Emir averted my gaze.
“Is there anything else to do?”
“I was looking at the city because it was beautiful. Because it has a different feel from our eastern part.”
“Cities in the South are glamorous.”
An awkward silence passed.
I had no intention of breaking the silence.
It was the young lady who issued the order to celebrate a few days ago.
Didn’t they forcefully use Seria to drive them out so they wouldn’t see them in the future?
But Emir is different.
Haha. How did you see Maurice?”
Emir was desperate to find a source for her story.
A corner of her heart throbbed at the sight of her.
“Gorgeous. But that’s all.”
“Morris, don’t you like flashy things?”
“She doesn’t hate it.”
I looked at Emir and talked behind her back.
“She hates forced glamor to hide her own weakness.”
“The Minister was such a person.”
Emir, who was making eye contact with me, nodded her head.
It was then.
Growl
A sound was heard from the emir’s ship.
“Ah.”
Her face turned red.
Could it be that he hasn’t eaten anything until now because he’s waiting for me?
I heard pity.
“Would you like to have a meal?”
“Yes? Pear, aren’t you hungry?”
Urgently making excuses, he even went off the pitch.
“I am hungry. Go get something to eat.”
“Oh okay.”
And I snapped my fingers
Pod!
Small ice crystals floated around her.
It was ice magic that cooled the air around her.
To put it simply, a portable air conditioner?
A cool breeze blew from the crystal.
“What?”
“It is because it looks very hot. It’s better than nothing, so just stay.”
“Thanks.”
He must have lowered the temperature, but Emir’s face turned redder.
At that time.
-I will tell you the location of the most delicious pasta restaurant in Roland.
I heard Jane’s voice in my head.
I could feel the laughter in his voice.
‘Don’t do useless things.’
– It’s better than going to a place you don’t know at all.
I sighed and followed the address Jane had sent me.
Emir and I walked shoulder to shoulder, followed by the maid and Emir’s escort knight.
Many people’s eyes turned to the two of us.
Many of the academy students recognized my face.
“Isn’t that Mr. Morris?”
“Then the person next to you must be the daughter of House Solarion?”
“They are good men and women.”
They looked at us and walked away, ignoring the whispered words.
Did you hear Emir?
“Morris-sama, they say we’re good men and women.”
‘ She laughed mischievously.
“Don’t be too fond of passing noises.”
Meanwhile, we arrived at the restaurant Jane had told us about.
-Dericio Restaurant.
It was an upscale restaurant with a nice atmosphere.
– They say there is no place like this. It’s a place I really wanted to visit, but it’s said to be the most delicious restaurant on the continent. There is no dish that does not exist in the world. It’s a restaurant that even the emperor can’t easily go to, just thinking about it…
‘Done. Hang up now.’
I spread the magic curtain wide.
It was Jane’s means to her to prevent voyeurism.
“Are you here?”
Emir asked.
“Let’s go in.”
At that time, the restaurant manager blocked our way.
“Excuse me. Are you a guest with a reservation? Our restaurant is 100% reserved only.”
In his hand his was a magic ledger.
It must be a ledger for security and accurate counting.
No matter how magical the ledger was, manipulating the list was easy.
“Is it? There must be a name called Maurice Dmitri there.”
I flicked my fingers behind my back.
“I’ll check.”
After checking the list, the manager tilted his head.
“Yes… Ok It seems there was a mistake on our part.”
“Hard work.”
I shook my hand and went into the dining room with Emir.
“Uh, when did you make a reservation?”
“There are ways. Think of it as a gift from the Academy President.”
Although I manipulated the list.
There was no need to reveal it.
It is an occasional deviation.
You can’t always be piled up with work, can’t you?
I ordered from the menu and waited for my meal to be served.
“I was honestly surprised. I never thought the Minister would reserve a restaurant like this.”
“Why?”
“That’s it… It’s an image that the minister would never come to a place like this.”
“It’s hard, isn’t it?”
“To some extent.”
“You are honest.”
A moment of silence fell between us.
I said a word lightly to Emir, who kept trying to bring up the topic.
“Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Do you see that?”
He nodded his head instead of answering.
Soon.
Salad and mushroom soup were served as appetizers.
At first glance, it was a menu that felt luxurious.
I lightly tasted the food that came out as an appetizer, and listened to the meat soup that came out with naan.
The main dish was a steak made from southern beef.
“Mmmm.”
Emir, who took the sliced steak into his mouth his, covered his cheek and exclaimed.
“It really melts in your mouth. It’s so soft.”
I didn’t answer, but I was honestly impressed.
Jane recommended it, so I was dubious.
It was really good.
It was a food that whetted my appetite for a long time.
Can you believe it if you feel a new taste every time you take a bite?
Every time I ate, I swallowed in admiration.
“Excellent.”
Now I know that chewiness and softness can coexist in one food.
While eating, I noticed that Emir’s mouth was smeared with steak sauce.
How was it buried?
“Emir.”
I said to her
“Yes, Maurice?”
Isn’t it the duty of a gentleman to tell someone and let them clean it themselves?
I got her up and leaned towards her.
There was no other intention at all.
It was just a thought to wipe the sauce from her mouth.
But why
Is the emir holding her eyes tight with her face flushed?
I raised the corner of her mouth her and took out a handkerchief from her her inside pocket her.
Then she gently wiped the corners of her mouth her.
Emir trembled at her.
He shuddered at the unfamiliar touch of his lips to her.
She even tilted her head slightly.
I thought it was a bit cute.
Emir, who opened her eyes belatedly, looked at me alternately with her handkerchief in my hand.
“You got sauce on her mouth her.”
“Ah…”
“What were you thinking? It made her blush.”
“I’m sorry.”
The emir said she couldn’t even hide her face, which had become a completely red blush and she was at a loss.
“Eat slowly. No one will take away the meal from Lady Solarion, who is eating with the Minister of Magic.”
“Boo, that’s embarrassing.”
“It’s okay. It was an interesting sight to see.”
The confused look was different.
Is it because of that?
After finishing the meal, I said something to her that I normally would not have said.
I also had a little desire to play.
“Didn’t Lady Solarion try to buy something important from Roland?”
“Oh, stuff?”
“Perfume.”
“Ah! Right. I was going to buy perfume, but I forgot it because my eyesight was darker than I thought.”
It was a poor excuse.
But even that look was different.
“I will pick out that perfume for you.”
“Yes?”
“It means that I will give the young lady a present.”
“I, really?”
He had the brightest smile I’d ever seen.
Not a fake smile to decorate.
A bright smile like a child born from the heart.
“Okay.”
After leaving the restaurant, I went to the perfume shop with her.
It was full of scents that dazzled the nostrils.
The staff working here are even worried that their noses are far away.
Emir walked around the store, unable to hide his joy his, like an adolescent girl.
I just silently followed her.
While looking around the store, I picked up one perfume that caught my eye.
I handed it over to Emir, who carefully selected the perfume.
“What about this? It’s a lily-scented perfume. I think this will suit you best.”
It was something I thought about from a long time ago.
Emir is said to be a woman suitable for lilies.
“Anything that Maurice-sama chose is fine.”
She received the perfume I had chosen.
I paid for the perfume and came out.
“Morris.”
Emir gave me a small bottle of perfume.
A light green liquid was contained in a clear glass bottle.
“I chose this as the scent that I thought would suit Maurice the best.”
It was a lemon scented perfume.
“Did you buy it for me?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.”
I got the perfume from Emir.
“You’re welcome.”
It was a bright, beautiful smile like the sun.
The moment I met Emir’s eyes, my heart pounded.
The whole world went dark, and only her was visible to me.
As if in love.
Like love…
I made up my mind and closed my eyes tightly.
As I closed my eyes and averted my gaze, my reason gradually returned.
‘Shit.’
At some point, he was completely dominated by Maurice’s emotions.
Maurice Dmitri, the original owner of this body.
He truly loved Emir.
Yes.
The pounding I feel right now.
It wasn’t Choi Yoo-jun, it was Maurice Dmitri’s feeling.
I was distracted by emotions that were completely out of my control.
The reason I kept away from Emir.
Although it was packaged as a political reason.
In fact, it was because I felt myself being controlled by the emotions of Maurice’s original body his.
Every time I was with her for a long time, I couldn’t maintain Choi Yoo-jun’s ego and almost got swallowed up by Maurice.
The fact that I saved her from Seria’s poisoning.
At that moment, it was an instinctive action that was out of my will.
The feeling of not being myself was terrible.
It was as if I was reminded several times that I was a possessor and that I was an outsider.
So I stayed away from Emir.
I acted cold on purpose.
I even used Seria.
But.
Emir was a woman with more perseverance than I thought.
“Morris, that’s what you mean.”
While I was closing my eyes, I heard Emir’s voice in her.
“What is going on?”
“Can I see you again?”
I opened my eyes and saw her face her.
Originally, I was going to refuse.
Have to stay away
But.
I saw it.
Dark circles under the eyes, from not sleeping for several days.
My heart was throbbing.
“Ha.”
He let out a deep sigh.
“You keep making it hard for me.”
It was a very small voice.
“Yes?”
It was so loud that even Emir right in front of him couldn’t hear it.
“Not. You can come to the mansion. However, please tell me beforehand.”
Because I have to come up with a countermeasure every time she comes.
“Is it because of her?”
I asked pretending not to be her.
I could feel the scars on her face as she asked me.
My heart ached.
“If I say so, will you listen?”
She looked up at me and answered.
“It should be. Because I want to go to Morris-sama’s mansion.”
“Thank you.”
“I really enjoyed today. There could never have been a happier day.”
Emir embraced the perfume I gifted him.
“I’ll see you soon.”
Knights waiting at the entrance of the store escorted her.
“Enter carefully.”
I pressed the bridge of my nose with both hands as I watched Emir’s back his as he walked away.
What to do.
How should I treat this young lady from now on?
My head was pounding.
***
Emir, who climbed into the carriage, blushed as he looked at the perfume.
‘You gave me perfume as a gift.’
Still, his heart his is probably still there.
‘There is still hope.’
Although he still remains jealous of Seria, who has been reduced to slavery.
‘I can do it.’
Emir was determined to win.
***
I.
I am in a very difficult situation.
In a very difficult situation.
“Morris…”
It was because Snow White, who was wearing almost see-through underwear, entered my bedroom.
“Girl, I can’t sleep.”
Damn it
