## Chapter 192 – The Baron’S Play (19)

193. The Baron’s Play (19)

Daren always has regular meetings with his fiancée.

That is, the daughter of the Berkeley family.

However, since I know the truth about their collusion with the Count of Bourbon, it’s essentially a meaningless relationship. It’s just a smokescreen to accept gestures of reconciliation.

Then, does his fiancée also know about this?

Well, there’s that pure curiosity… I’ve been gradually encroaching on the Baron’s women, so isn’t it about time I dealt with Daren’s fiancée as well?

Around midday, in front of the Baron’s manor gate.

“Is everything ready?”

“Yes, young master.”

The other servants and I answered Daren, who was on horseback, respectfully.

Today is the day Daren goes to meet his fiancée. I subtly placed a suggestion around him, and Daren, without any sense of incongruity, brought me along as one of the three servants he was taking. The carriage was full of what looked like gifts, so to put it simply, I was going along to do the loading and unloading, as well as other miscellaneous tasks.

Of course, his attitude towards me hadn’t changed, so I was still getting small jabs whenever he noticed me. But thanks to Trisha, he couldn’t physically punish me directly.

“Alright, let’s go. Hyah!”

Daren tapped the horse’s flank, and the horse galloped forward with vigor. A new knight, who had replaced Belik, followed behind, and the remaining servants, loaded onto the baggage cart, watched the two of them through the open front.

After descending the gentle slope, we would soon enter the bustling city. As Daren passed, it was as if the people were parting like the Red Sea, quickly splitting into two.

‘So this is what it’s like to be in power. Is it time to go to the Berkeley estate?’

I’ve been here once before, so I know the way. As expected, a large mansion appeared, and Daren, having arrived at his destination, pulled on the horse’s reins with a familiar motion.

As the gate opened, Daren gestured for us to unload all the gifts.

-Creak….

Under the hot sun, we moved the items one by one and piled them nearby. Soon, the mansion door opened, and a woman appeared.

“You’re a bit late today.”

“Is that so? Ah, young master. It seems she’s coming out now.”

At the knight’s words, Daren turned his head, and we, who were moving the luggage nearby, naturally lifted our heads to look at Daren’s fiancée.

A dress with minimal frills, giving it a clean look. She was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, perhaps because of the hot weather, and held a pure white parasol in one hand.

Her hair was a light brown with a hint of red, and the beautiful curls starting from the middle were very attractive. She was probably around the same height as Stella, and her slender waist and overall well-developed figure were similar to Stella’s.

However, her impression was completely different. Her delicate features were not sharp at all, and her eyes were bright, giving off a lively aura.

He’s meeting a pretty cute fiancée.

“Daren!”

As soon as she saw Daren on horseback, she waved her hand enthusiastically and then approached us with cute, quick steps. Daren smiled at the sight and got off his horse to greet his fiancée.

“Miss Matilda. Have you been well?”

“Ah, yes…. I’ve been fine. Um, was I too late? I was choosing a dress and lost track of time… I apologize.”

Matilda said this while gently lifting the hem of her skirt, trying to follow the etiquette of the nobility in an awkward way, which was very girlish and adorable. The servants next to me were naturally twitching their lips.

“Hehe, it’s alright. We were just finishing moving the gifts. Shall we go to our usual place then?”

“Yes!”

‘What the hell, this guy.’

Where did his usual human trash behavior go? Suddenly, there was only a gentle, handsome man in front of me. It feels like just yesterday I saw him lynch me and hit on the dress shop girl…

Anyway, with Daren’s polite lead, Matilda nodded, fidgeting her fingers. Soon, Matilda and her maid got into their family’s carriage and left the Berkeley estate. Daren didn’t even bother to show his face to the other members of the family.

I guess they’re both uncomfortable with each other.

…………

After leaving the city and traveling for a while, we arrived at a street full of buildings that were more refined than the typical homes of commoners. Daren’s group entered what looked like a high-end café. When we went up to the empty second-floor terrace, there was a stylish table and a great atmosphere where you could enjoy the view below.

While Daren’s knight waited on the first floor, I, under the influence of the suggestion, stood respectfully a few meters away from them as they went on their date.

Daren and Matilda, not feeling any sense of incongruity, continued their tea time, laughing and chatting.

“…and so, I just left it there that day. The maids must have been surprised. Hehe.”

“Haha. You’ve had an interesting day. Your stories are always enjoyable, Miss Matilda.”

“Is, is that so? Um…….”

Matilda, her eyes gently rolling, expressed her shyness at her fiancé’s calm words. Meanwhile, Daren sipped his tea, glancing down at Matilda’s chest.

The dress, with its low neckline, subtly revealed the skin of her breasts, as it was hot.

She wasn’t quite as big as Trisha, but she was at least a C-cup, boasting a rather plump volume for her young age.

As Daren secretly glanced at her chest with lustful eyes, Matilda, still oblivious, started to grumble with a slightly dissatisfied expression, as if she had remembered something.

“But recently, I feel like my father has been preventing me from seeing Daren as often… He seems to be more sensitive these days, so maybe that’s why…”

At those words, Daren flinched, perhaps feeling guilty about his womanizing, but then answered as naturally as possible.

“I suppose he’s worried, especially after what happened with my brother. I don’t mind.”

“Um. Is that so? But honestly, that incident was partly my brothers’ fault too…”

“Well, there might be various rumors outside, but isn’t what’s in our hearts the most important?”

“……!”

Daren subtly took Matilda’s hand.

With a strange silence, their lips were getting closer, as if they were about to kiss.

“Ugh…! Um, Daren. Th, this far…”

Matilda, her face bright red, couldn’t move and quickly leaned back to create some distance. Daren looked dumbfounded, as if he hadn’t expected her to refuse.

I thought they were going to do it for sure, given the romantic atmosphere.

“I, I’m sorry. Until the wedding… Um, everyone told me to be modest…”

“………Indeed.”

As Matilda put up a wall, Daren expressionlessly sat back and picked up his teacup again.

“Ah…”

The atmosphere had turned cold, and she looked like she didn’t know what to do, feeling sorry.

Even though it was just a simple kiss, Matilda must have felt bad about refusing, so she shyly revealed her true feelings.

“Actually, to be precise… If I ki, kiss you now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my feelings and… make a mistake… I’m sorry. Um. It’s going to happen soon anyway… right?”

“I see…. I understand. I was a bit hasty.”

“Um. No, it’s not.”

Matilda’s adorable demeanor seemed to ease the cold atmosphere.

‘Matilda doesn’t seem to know about her family’s plan.’

Perhaps they didn’t tell her because they thought it might ruin things. Well, it seems Daren has charmed her while managing his image, so there’s no point in telling her. If she suddenly fell in love and said, ‘Daren, my father is actually planning to…!’ it would all be for naught.

Instead, she must have been strongly warned not to cross the line before the wedding.

In the middle of a hot summer, it wouldn’t be strange if they were already sweating and having sex in bed, but they’re holding back, so Matilda must be just as frustrated. Especially since they’re a young couple in their prime.

Also, she’s acting like this in front of her lover, but Matilda’s true personality doesn’t seem that introverted, so if it weren’t for this special situation, she probably would have been all over Daren.

A virgin… Is that something I should like?

Even if they had already slept together, it would have been a pretty enjoyable scene, but it’s a bit of a shame. It’s also annoying to have to teach men one by one.

Alright, let’s keep it moderate.

“Let’s stop here for today, Miss Matilda.”

“Yes, Daren.”

-Clap.

As she lowered her head, her red-tinged hair swaying, I gained control over the space of the second floor and the terrace with a single clap.

“……….”
“……….”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

The two of them were sitting there blankly with empty eyes.

I first asked Matilda the things I was curious about, satisfying my curiosity. She definitely doesn’t know about her father’s plan.

“So, do you like Daren? If so, why?”

“…Yes. I’ve always admired him. He’s always so gentlemanly and handsome. Sometimes, it seems like other people are spreading strange rumors to belittle Daren… But I don’t believe any of that.”

Hmm. She’s completely infatuated.

“Daren. What do you think of Matilda?”

“She’s a pretty likable woman. I don’t like the Berkeley family, who keep annoying me, but… Matilda is… not bad. Her actions are cute too……….”

This is unexpected. Even though he’s a womanizer, the fact that he’s giving her this kind of evaluation means that he has some feelings for her. Or is he the type who knows about women but doesn’t know much about relationships? If so, it means he’s enjoying their meetings more than I thought. I should have noticed it from the fact that he goes to see her regularly.

Well, if she’s wearing a dress like that, I’d keep stealing glances at her chest too, but that’s a different matter.

“Alright, Matilda. Listen carefully.”

“Yes.”

“Every time you meet me, you will feel more and more attracted to me and feel sexual desire. Understand?”

“Attraction and sexual desire… Yes.”

A hypnosis that wasn’t particularly special.

I made sure it overlapped with her feelings of admiration for Daren, not touching that part. It’s always fun to give her room to think for herself. Well, the ending is obvious…

I clapped once more and leisurely left the second-floor terrace, waiting outside with the other servants. Soon, the two of them also came out.

“I’ll escort you to your mansion.”

“Again today? Oh, you don’t have to… Ah…?”

As I stood with the servants and slightly lifted my head, Matilda, who was walking out, happened to see me.

“………………….”

She seemed to feel something strange and stopped in her tracks.

It was a very brief moment, but I could feel her gaze fixed on me.

“Miss Matilda?”

“Ah, yes…! I was just thinking about something for a moment…….”

Matilda, startled by Daren’s call, got into her carriage, but even then, she kept glancing at me secretly. It wasn’t a face that was completely out of place, but she must have been very flustered.

‘The suggestion worked perfectly.’

From now on, I’ll be accompanying Daren whenever he goes out, so she’ll be seeing my face often. I’m curious to see how Matilda, who has no connection to me, will react. Well, if she’s wishy-washy, I can just sleep with her.

I returned to the Baron’s estate with a joyful heart, carrying the newly acquired supplies.
