Chapter 49 – Chapter 49 Maurice’s Feelings for Emir. Guilty. And Snow White
“Here.”
Duke Gaston Solarion rode his horse to the front of Dmitri’s mansion.
“Ha.”
I sent a letter to Maurice Dmitri about my daughter, and within hours I got a reply.
-I can’t go, so I’ll send another specialist.
That one line was all.
“Dare…”
Duke Solarion did not like Maurice for refusing his request.
It has been like that since before.
He was a no-nonsense guy.
Even when they broke their engagement, they accepted the outcome calmly as if they knew it would happen. As if there is nothing more to regret.
Thanks to that, the Duke of Solarion was able to break off the engagement easily, but he never thought it would set fire to his daughter’s heart.
That came all the way here
I was trying to wait for my daughter.
He thought it would be better if she, still in love with Maurice, married herself.
However, the two never made it.
Hearing what Emir had heard, he stopped eating and drinking from one day and entered the room.
I heard that you missed Maurice every day and that you wrote him a letter. But I didn’t even get a proper reply.
That’s already a month
‘I should have intervened.’
I wondered if I should have forced Maurice to get married.
Regret is too late no matter how fast it is.
It was Duke Solarion’s policy to come up with a better plan than regret that he shouldn’t have done that.
“Count Maurice Dmitry!”
Duke Solarion entered the mansion.
Now, there was nothing that could stop him from reaching the level of a sword master.
Passing through the wide yard, I opened the front door of the mansion.
Thud!
“Are you here?”
An old man who appeared to be a butler politely bowed.
“Where is Count Dmitry?”
The duke asked, briskly. If he didn’t answer, he was ready to rip his throat out.
“Master is taking care of personal matters right now.”
Sebastian lowered his head.
“I need to meet you now.”
“You can’t. Wait a bit…”
“I have seen my daughter sick for a month! I even sent a letter explaining the situation to the count! But you dare to stop me in the lobby and wait?”
Duke Solarion growled, showing his teeth.
“Absolutely not.”
Sebastian, who faced the momentum that could easily kill a single person with his bare body, lowered his head calmly.
“Even if you say so…”
“I can’t speak at all!”
Duke Solarion pushed Sebastian away and headed into the mansion.
I walked without hesitation to the corner of the mansion, to the room where I could feel Maurice’s energy.
“Count Dmitry, I know what’s inside! So right now…”
Duke Solarion threw the door open.
Inside it
Maurice was seen naked and raging in the office with two women.
“Shut up!”
The red-haired woman, as if she had already passed out, was lying on the floor, only her chest pounding. Consciousness seemed absent.
And that platinum-haired woman that Maurice is shaking her waist and fucking.
‘Seria?’
Is that the daughter of the executed Siegfried?
“I like it, master! Woof woof! Fuck me more bitch pussy! Woof woof!”
“Who told you to use human words?”
“Woof woof!”
The woman who couldn’t find the reason properly was panting and barking at will.
‘No.’
Looking closely, it wasn’t Seria.
What can I say than Seria? Should I say mature?
I was mistaken for the poisonous resemblance.
“Kuhm!”
It wasn’t always a good look, but Duke Solarion focused his gaze clearing his throat.
Maurice belatedly looked at the place where the duke was.
“Ah, are you here?”
Maurice hurriedly put on his gown.
“Now, wait a minute, more…”
The woman begged, holding Maurice by the leg.
Maurice tied her to her chair with her magic.
“You looked ugly. Sorry.”
“Well, okay. Things like that happen, too. It’s because I came in in a hurry. Great.”
“As you can see, to satisfy the women.”
“If you’re a man, that’s how it should be.”
Asked Maurice, all dressed in her gown.
“What are you doing?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know why I came?”
“Surely I should have sent a reply. So I was looking for a therapist.”
“You mean mixing with those women?”
“They want my favor, and I have only granted their request.”
“Even if you don’t touch the sex life of nobles, isn’t this too much?”
“Duke.”
Maurice asked the duke with her calm face.
“Aren’t we a special relationship? This attention is a little burdensome.”
“Hey, hey…”
When they said they weren’t special, Duke Solarion had nothing to say.
It was the Duke himself who broke off the engagement.
“Emir fell ill while waiting for you. Can’t you help?”
“This woman has nothing to do with me.”
Maurice’s face grew colder.
“He is a child suffering from not being able to forget you.”
“I know.”
“Are you still saying that?”
“So you can’t go. Lady Solarion lies ill because she cannot let go of her longing. Isn’t it obvious that rumors will arise if the man who is the object of your love goes to the room of the young lady who is suffering from love affair?”
“I can stop rumors like that.”
“Like you broke our engagement?”
“Whoa.”
“The person who turned the relationship into nothing was the Duke.”
Duke Solarion closed his eyes tightly.
“Aren’t Dmitri and Solarion dating now?”
“Please come at least once to see my face.”
“Can you really handle it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you know what I will do to Lady Solarion?”
“You’re kidding.”
“You can even do things you shouldn’t do for the sake of healing.”
Duke Solarion and Maurice glared at each other.
A spark flew between the two.
“If only I could get better.”
“… Okay. But you can’t just go. Wouldn’t a trade be necessary?”
“Are you planning to marry our family on good terms?”
Maurice shook her head.
“Then, is there anything you want to say to His Majesty the Emperor?”
“I can do that too.”
“What do you want?”
Duke Solarion had no idea what the young mage wanted.
“I will pay off this debt later.”
“That’s what scares me the most.”
“You don’t want to?”
“No, I accept. Now there is no other way than you. However.”
A light came on in Duke Solarion’s eyes.
“Be prepared if Emir’s condition does not improve. I’m going to calculate everything, including the arrogance you just showed me. Solarion never forgets.”
“Don’t worry.”
***
I went to the mansion of the Solarion family with the Duke Solarion.
Where he was guided, Emir was lying on a bed wheezing.
His lips were parched, and his face was lifeless.
He frowned, as if in pain.
Her blonde hair had lost its luster, and her body was emaciated and brittle to the touch.
‘Was it so painful?’
I felt my heart throb.
It was an emotion that remained in Maurice’s body.
Maurice’s feelings for Emir are still in love.
Her determination to come after work as cynically as possible collapsed as soon as she saw the emir’s face. She must have been in a lot of pain.
I looked away.
On the desk in her room, I saw a heap of envelopes.
I remembered her correspondence that the Emir sent every day. She sent it back deliberately to dissuade her.
‘You mean he had all of this?’
I closed my eyes.
Even the heart that had been firmly held before coming to the duke’s residence was released.
‘Sorry.’
This was not Maurice’s feeling.
It was the guilt that welled up in my heart.
Because he was the one who hurt her to get rid of the emir.
She was determined to be cold for her sake, but she closed her eyes to see her emir’s toil in the lands beyond.
“Absolutely not. The patient needs to be put to rest!”
“Lord Duke, healing magic! Right now, the young lady’s body is in a weak state!”
“If that worked, we would have already healed with our holy power!”
The priests in charge of her emir desperately prevented me from laying her hands on her.
“Hey guys, how long do you think I’ll be nice to you?”
The Duke’s face was not comfortable when he saw such a priest.
“If you don’t want to die, get out of the way right away.”
I received such a duke’s words.
The head of the imperial faction and the minister of magic.
No matter how stubborn the priests were, they couldn’t stop us.
I passed the priest and put my hand on the emir’s forehead.
“Uh, how can you raise your hands on an unmarried young lady!”
The priests who valued the law were frightened.
Either way, I drew mana into her hand on her forehead.
Cure, Heal, Recovery, etc.
I combined all the healing spells I could cast.
Detoxification of poison, mental recovery, recovery from physical fatigue.
“It won’t work! Duchess, please stop this lewd act right away!”
“This is Maurice Dmitry, famous for his cruelty! I don’t know what to do to the young lady!”
“It won’t work. Many priests have already done it.”
“Lady Solarion has a backlash against magic…”
The chattering words of the priests interrupted them, but they ignored them.
I am OK.
I was sure.
The warm light that started from my hand wrapped around Emir’s body.
Is Emir unconsciously refusing treatment?
The healing magic did not pass through the mana that covered the Emir’s body.
‘If you refuse treatment.’
I have no choice but to force treatment.
Increased the output.
Whoops!
The circle turned violently.
The healing magic cast from my hand pierced the curtain little by little.
Little by little, the healing magic touched Emir’s body.
When an hour passed and no improvement was seen, the voices of the priests grew louder.
How long has it been since then?
“Mmm.”
Response came.
Emir’s expression, which had been basking in the light, became comfortable.
Emir, who had lost consciousness and couldn’t even breathe properly, made a sound for the first time.
“Oh, this can’t be…”
“What even the highest-ranking priest couldn’t do… This is a miracle!”
“God took care of Lady Solarion.”
The priests, who had been talking about lewdness earlier, quickly changed their stance.
“Mmm.”
Emir groaned.
“Are you okay?”
Duke Solarion, who was looking at his daughter’s condition his, asked.
“It will be fine. It’s proof that you’re getting better.”
“Right.”
His expression His became lighter.
“Duke, could you take the priests and go out for a while? There are a lot of people, so I can’t concentrate.”
“Ah, don’t let that happen. Don’t worry.”
Duke Solarion’s expression turned stern as he looked back at the priest.
“Duke, there must be a priest next to the patient!”
“We, the experts…”
“Get rid of these useless things right now.”
After arranging the fuse, Duke Solarion looked at me.
“Then, please.”
After saying that, the Duke also left the room.
“Whoa.”
The stiff muscles in my face loosened up.
Maurice’s affection and my guilt made my face a mess.
If anyone had seen it, they would have said it looked like they were about to burst into tears.
Now, I didn’t want to show them this expression.
I closed my eyes and brushed the unconscious Emir’s hair.
My heart ached.
It wasn’t a feeling that started with love.
It was more like pity and guilt.
She is having such a hard time because I dropped it hard.
‘Neither can she accept her relationship with her.’
Crunchy!
Did I unknowingly put strength in my mouth?
My jaw hurt.
Let’s not deny it.
It was something I made up.
Don’t make the excuse that it’s to defeat Lilith possessed by Seria.
Don’t make excuses for neglect.
Did you know
That Emir will suffer and anything will happen because of it.
Just pretend not to know
Emir is a strong woman, so she was optimistic that she would be able to hold on.
‘A fool.’
It’s been a while since I’ve had self-loathing.
My teeth gnashed at the thought that I hadn’t finished everything perfectly.
There was enough blood to ooze from between the bitten gums.
I was angry that I couldn’t do anything like this.
I was also annoyed.
“Emir, how should I treat you?”
Seeing her in pain hurts her heart.
I want you to wake up soon and recover your energy.
I know that these feelings don’t come out of love.
But why does this body keep…
Are you saying that I love you?
“Sorry.”
Sincerely to you who are sick because of me.
With one hand she ran through the emir’s hair, and with the other she channeled her healing magic.
Emir’s expression became more relaxed.
‘This should be enough.’
The mana wall that subconsciously rejected healing magic was gone.
In her future, even her heals, given by her ordinary mage, will have an effect on her.
Finally, after checking the condition of my body, I came out.
“Where are the priests?”
“I kicked them all out. I can’t keep incompetent idiots in my mansion.”
“Is that so.”
“What happened to Emir?”
“It has improved. If you cast healing magic periodically in the future, you will wake up soon.”
“Is it?”
“Now that you’ve pierced the mana wall around her body, it should also heal the apprentice mage’s heal.”
“It’s about healing Solarion’s veins. We should hire the best wizard.”
“Then I will go. I will come back next week to see how it goes.”
“Thank you.”
All my work is done.
Her feelings for the Emir and her mistakes I made made her dizzy.
In the end, it happened because of me.
‘Are you prepared? Isn’t that why you’re colder?’
I said it like a promise to me who hesitated.
But this damn body was different from my mind.
Shouted back
Stay by my side even now and wait for Emir to wake up.
‘Don’t be funny.’
If I’m by your side, you’ll have vain hopes again.
The obsession will get worse, and the lingering will grow even bigger.
‘Like my body does now.’
It is a marriage that cannot be accepted.
I knew how cruel it was to give and take away like that.
This time she’s unconscious of hers.
Because you can’t see me
It was accepted
‘I will never meet her eyes with the emir.’
This is the last time.
When the emir wakes, I will not be with her.
I went out to drive out the thoughts.
I wanted to get rid of the fucking emotions that were weighing down my chest.
I trudged through the streets of the capital.
My head was pounding.
“Ha.”
I wanted to meet any woman.
Anything would do to make her forget her foolish feelings for the emir.
‘Seria?’
Can’t be done.
Her body was very tired from the previous work, and she was not the one to pour out this emotion.
‘Ellis?’
She wasn’t enough
Louis was not the target, and Lilith would rather impress Emir with the fact that she had hurt her.
‘Isn’t there?’
The window girl?
No high-ranking woman can shake off my feelings right now.
As if running away, I returned to the mansion and saw snow white in my eyes.
I mean Snow White, who looks at the flowers in the mansion’s garden, pouting.
I approached her
“Snow White.”
“Ah, Maurice.”
When he saw me, he wiped off his pouting expression and smiled.
I looked down at her.
Her fair skin, her petite stature, and her silver hair, which shimmered more than her skin her, shone.
Was this child so beautiful?
She didn’t feel it because she’d taken her hostage for granted.
But why do you see it that way now?
I do not know.
‘I must be tired too.’
If it makes me want to lean on this child who wants my seed.
However, I couldn’t stop my mouth.
“Would you like to go to my room with me?”
The face of Snow White, who probably didn’t know what those words meant, turned red.
