Chapter 88 – {Time Spent at Night}
{Time spent at night}
I could see Ye Eun-chae’s purple eyes harboring anxiety.
Even though she was innocent, she knew at least that the Ye family was not a family that only pursued justice.
Knowing that she hadn’t committed a heinous crime, and that she hadn’t crossed the line as a human being, she obediently followed as a member of the Ye family.
Even if she herself had a sense of justice, she did not force others to have her sense of justice.
‘Actually, I know the basics to some extent.’
Because she knew how to make that distinction, she could also be concerned about the possibility that the Ye family might use her own acquaintances to ask her for unreasonable favors.
“No, I just got a call asking if we could meet.”
As I said that, I lightly placed her hand on Ye Eun-chae’s shoulder.
“It’s not like anything happened, so don’t worry. But… It’s not like we’re meeting for pure purpose.”
“Um…I think so too. I’m sorry, Chen. I guess I may have caused you harm.”
Saying that, I lightly fed honey chestnuts to Ye Eun-chae’s forehead.
“Aww! Cloth, it hurts!”
“What can I do to avoid this kind of damage? As a friend, I can help you if you need help. What do you think this is like? Are you blaming yourself?”
Ye Eun-chae slightly opened her eyes wide at my words and looked at her. She’s taking her word for it, but I still feel like she’s guilty.
“Cloth…”
“So you don’t have to worry about these little things.”
Ye Eun-chae smiled at my words.
“Thank you, Chen. I’m really glad you said that. Hehe~”
Seeing Ye Eun-chae’s pleasant smile, I also showed her her smile, then she said.
“I need to get ready to go back soon. Once I go back to my dorm, I’m going back to the dormitory right away, right?”
“I think so. I think I should go back to the dorm and calmly organize things with Hyuna.”
In response to Eunchae’s yes, I nodded her head and opened the door.
“Let’s go.”
Outside, Aria Riverin, Seomun Min-hye, and Yoo Hyun-ah were already out.
“Brother, did you talk with Eunchae inside?”
Since the room was soundproofed, Seomun Min-hye, who could not hear the sound, came out and asked if Ye Eun-chae had talked inside.
“It’s nothing.”
Arya Riverin gave me a slightly worried look at my words, but she didn’t ask the question here.
But from the look in her eyes, it was clear that she would ask me questions later after Ye Eun-chae and Yoo Hyeon-ah went back to their lodgings.
‘It won’t just go over.’
Arya Riverin, knowing that Ye Eun-chae could do no wrong to me, would have quickly figured out that the problem was related to her family.
Even so, she was also a princess who was the heir to the kingdom of Liberin, so even though she was the heir to a country that was a constitutional monarchy, she had enough insight into the situation.
And after I came out, Ye Eun-chae also came out without saying a word and headed to the side of Yoo Hyeon-ah.
“Then let’s go back soon. It’s late at night, so Eun-chae and Hyun-ah will have to go back quickly too.”
“Yes, I think so. I’m sharing the dorm with Minhye, so it’s okay, but… Eunchae and Hyuna are in the dormitory.”
It was known to the outside world that Aria Riverin was living in the mansion I had prepared for Minhye, the preamble, as her lodging.
Of course, he spends most of his time with me, but the National Hero Academy knew that he was staying at Seomun Min-hye’s hostel, so it was a structure where he left his luggage there and made a portal to go back and forth.
Externally, Leviathan was also staying there, and I came out of my dorm for a few days, but since Min-hye Seo came out with me, the academy didn’t say anything, but I had to start differently in the morning.
‘Aria will have to leave from Minhye’s house tomorrow morning.’
Aria Riverin said that from tomorrow morning, she would have to leave from Minhye’s house in the preface.
“She may have to go back soon…”
Hyunah Yoo took out her phone and checked the time.
It was late now, so I had to go back before it was too late.
“Cheon, I’m really thankful for today in many ways.”
Ye Eun-chae took my hand and thanked me.
“I’d like to repay you someday. Tell me anything you want. I’ll do anything I can.”
At Ye Eun-chae’s words, I stared into her purple eyes.
There was a firm determination in her eyes, ready to follow whatever I really said.
“Are you okay? What if I ask for too much?”
What Ye Eun-chae promised was virtually no different from a blank check. Of course, it would be no different from a blank check if she asked for something that was against her morals, but if it wasn’t so, she would sincerely try to listen to anything that was possible due to her personality.
“I don’t believe that will happen. If it’s a cloth, I’m sure it won’t go against the rules and won’t ask for anything wrong.”
Ye Eun-chae still showed deep trust in me.
It was to be sure that if it were me, I wouldn’t do anything against my morals.
“Hmm, is that so? Then you’re thinking of asking me to marry you?”
Ye Eun-chae’s face turned bright red at the words I jokingly threw.
“Wh-what are you talking about! Go, she suddenly said that…”
I smiled and said as she stuttered her words in embarrassment.
“I didn’t ask you to marry me, I just asked if you would grant me such a request.”
“Aww! Chen, you really are! You’re so mean sometimes!”
Yes, Eun-chae glared at her with a slightly resentful look, but she didn’t look genuinely resentful of me.
“Huh, yes. Sorry, if it’s a request… To be honest, nothing comes to mind right now.”
“Mmm, I see. I’m sure Cheon won’t need my help.”
I shook my head at Ye Eun-chae’s slightly sullen appearance.
“No way. Nobody knows the affairs of the world, and who knows if suddenly your help will be desperately needed? Please take care of me when the time comes.”
“Okay! When the time comes, I’ll do my best to help Cheon!”
“Yes, I’ll look forward to it.”
Seeing Ye Eun-chae become full of enthusiasm right after my words, I thought that she was very innocent and honest.
Her bashful Yoo Hyeon-ah was also looking at Ye Eun-chae, making her laugh slightly, and as her roommate, she could see that she had built up deep enough trust to be comfortable with Yoo Hyeon-ah, who was not friendly because she was introverted.
“Now, let’s go back to the inn.”
When I pointed to the portal Leviathan had created, everyone nodded.
So we went back to the inn.
“Ah, I have to go now. Cheon, Aria, and Minhye. See you all again tomorrow.”
“See you again tomorrow.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Returning to the dorm, they went out first. After seeing the two of them go out, I returned to the dorm again.
“Chun, what did Eunchae and Eunchae talk about inside?”
And as soon as the two of them left, Aria Riverin immediately asked what she had been talking about with Ye Eun-chae.
She had nothing to hide from her, so I told her.
“Earlier in front of Eunchae, Eunchae cared so much that it was a bit awkward to talk about it… But it’s nothing special. The Ye family just got a call from the Ye family saying they wanted to talk to me.”
“As expected. As you guessed.”
Arya Riverin’s response was that she expected it.
It may be easy to be fooled by her innocent and pitiful appearance, but as a princess she has, her discernment and judgment are superior to those of ordinary people.
It’s just a flaw that in the original work, I was so confused by the unprecedented situation that I made the wrong decision for Seo Moon-hyeon, but in this world where I am, I didn’t make such a wrong decision.
“Brother, is it because of the Yuchun Group that the Ye family wants to meet?”
Seomun Min-hye was also predicting what kind of flow it would be. It was because she, too, had a realistic view of the ugliness of the preface family and me, the victim of their ugliness, from a young age.
“Well, that’s it. From the Ye family’s point of view, the Yoochun Group is a treasure that they want to have a relationship with. Even if they acquire just 1% of the Yoochun Group’s shares right away, the Ye family’s status will change.”
1% of Yuchun Group’s stock was simply worth more than 30 trillion won. It was not at the level of meddling in management rights, but the status changed depending on how to get that 1%.
“If Ye Eun-chae becomes my woman, the Ye family will think that if they do well, they will be able to benefit more than that. The provision of armed groups and artifacts that the Yuchun Group has.”
The power of powerful magical Awakeners.
Artifacts of the Yuchun Group, which boast the highest rank among them, with the same status as the military power and military supplies of the Yuchun Group, which are almost at the level of a country’s military.
He would have the expectation that he would be able to receive help from these mighty forces, and that the Yuchun Group would be able to serve as a support for his wife’s family, the Ye family.
“Of course, all of this is assuming that if Ye Eun-chae becomes my woman.”
“The Ye family seems very different from Eunchae.”
Seomun Min-hye’s expression was not very good, as if she remembered the Seomun family.
“Still, I’m not as crazy as the preface family. It’s snobbish, but I mean it. But it’s true that Eun-chae is kind to Min-hye and you.”
