Chapter 118 – Contact
#118.
In front of the dazzling hotel, which is almost twice as tall as other buildings. The party that arrived was busy vomiting admiration.
“Wow… After all, it’s amazing because she’s a countess.”
“I know. Be the first to enter this place.”
The two couldn’t keep their mouth shut in surprise. His eyes twinkled as he inspected the hotel. Mosquitoes are likely to enter in just a little while.
Of course, in Gaon’s eyes, even that appearance was just cute and lovable, but in the eyes of others, the nobles and nobles who came and went stared at him with curious eyes.
Gaon hurriedly pressed down on the shoulders of the two.
“Both of you calm down.”
At his restraint, the two of them shut their mouths, perhaps noticing the gaze around them. Chorin looked around her shyly for a moment, then pressed close to Gaon’s side and whispered softly.
“But Mr. Gaon doesn’t seem to be very impressed. Have you been to this place often before?”
“… It is, but not specifically because of it.”
“Really? Didn’t you go in and out with a different woman every day? I thought you read everything. Didn’t the woman eat it all in the hotel?”
“No, what… !”
Gaon jumped up and tried to scream at Chorin’s crazy sound, but hurriedly shut her mouth. Her face was full of mischief. While thinking about how to answer, Gaon threw a question in reverse.
“If so, what would you do?”
“Yes? Are you kidding me?”
“You’re right. Because Chorin was the first to play a joke. Could it be that I shouldn’t have done it?”
Chorin’s cheeks swelled up when he pinched the slightly naive reaction. It’s a reaction that a child would have. She was unaware of her own actions and glared at her in that state.
Meanwhile, they were finally able to reach the hotel entrance. Immediately the gatekeeper approached. The furrowed look seems to have recognized them as uninvited guests.
No matter how dressed they were, they didn’t smell like money like the other guests. Cho-rin and her Ha-yeon’s beauty, of course, was at a level that overwhelmed other women, but their appearance was quite neat.
As he approached and was about to open his mouth, Gaon held out the pass given to him by her butler.
Then the gatekeeper flinched to a halt.
“Check it.”
“… Excuse me. Eat inside.”
After accepting the pass and quickly checking it, the gatekeeper stepped aside. Gaon led the two inside and headed straight to the counter.
Even while she was doing that, she seemed to be still in the mood, and when she saw Chorin puffing out her cheeks, she smiled and stretched out her hand.
She faced Chorin, who was looking at what she was trying to do, and pressed both of her cheeks with her palms. With a soft sensation, the wind pushed through her cheeks.
“Sorry. I apologize. I feel relieved now that I have to meet the Countess. Got it?”
“… No. Because Gaon didn’t do anything wrong. Actually, I’m not angry. It’s just because I’m sorry.”
She didn’t say that she was sorry, but Gaon could understand roughly what she meant. She probably imagined a time spent alone in a hotel.
However, she soon became disappointed that this was something that Gaon had already experienced in her previous life. She really can’t be cute.
Gaon brushed her disheveled side hair as she pressed her cheeks, she said.
“Actually, I have no such experience. I don’t know about Chorin, but she’s been busy running around. There was no such thing as spending time with a girl in a hotel.”
“Really?”
“Yes. When we have time, the two of us will have a meal together at the hotel.”
“Great!”
Chorin smiled brightly at Gaon’s explanation. She thought that she wouldn’t dare lie even on such a thing. She even got her a date, so she couldn’t be better.
However, as much as she was so happy, Ha-yeon, who was half alienated from her, strengthened her gaze at Ga-on. She glared persistently as if she had nothing to say to her.
She cared only for Chorin, but there were side effects. It’s really troublesome, but if she said that this is the price of being loved by two people, then she could be said to be lighthearted indeed. Gaon also told Hayeon.
“Tell me what you want to do later. I’ll listen if it’s not weird. Got it?”
“… Yes.”
“Okay, then let’s go now.”
The editorial was long. There are only 10 minutes left until the appointment time. I didn’t know if I dragged on longer, I might be late. It was a very serious rudeness for a free knight who was ordained by the viscount family to be late for an appointment with the countess. She had to hurry.
Gaon headed straight to the counter and held out her pass. There, she wrote all the name and number of the person who gave it to her. Even the hotel mark was engraved with magic, so it was impossible to counterfeit, so she didn’t even have to check it for a long time.
The counter clerk who received it called me somewhere to excuse me for a moment, and after a while, a person appeared on the elevator.
He introduced himself by bowing with his restrained movements.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Albert, and I am serving Countess Priscilla. We will guide you right away.”
“Please.”
Albert, who may be used to this sort of thing, got on the elevator, treating Gaon and the others skillfully. The magically crafted elevator brought them to the top floor quickly and without any noise.
Since this hotel was run by the count’s family, even a half-departed countess could use it without any burden.
Upon arriving at the top floor, a wide entrance opened up. In front of him, two knights stood guard. Judging by the power and amount of the aura, it seems to be on the level of about 7 stars.
Albert approached one of them.
“Knight Sergio. We have brought guests.”
“Good work.”
Under the congratulations of a knight named Sergio, Albert nodded his head and stepped aside. The knight’s gaze turned to Gaon’s party.
He thoroughly scanned the bodies of Chorin and Hayeon. For a moment, her gaze went to something like his chest or buttocks, but he quickly passed it by and checked his armament.
I don’t think I feel sexual desire when I see the two of them. He was as natural as a man when he sees a beautiful woman.
After confirming his armament, the knight looked at Gaon and opened his mouth.
“Let only one representative come in. All armaments are also disarmed.”
“… Then let me go in.”
“Follow me. Walter, keep an eye on the other two. If you do something stupid, subdue it right away.”
“Yes, Sir Sergio.”
It seems that the knight named Sergio is the person escorting Priscilla right next to her. In order to give orders like this to other knights, it was not possible to be at the level of an ordinary average knight.
Gaon sent an electronic sound to reassure Chorin and Hayeon and followed Sergio inside. As I entered the front door, I saw a luxurious yet neat interior. The white marble floor was smooth and illuminated by the light.
Several high-end masterpieces were hung in the long hallway, showing off my artistry. As I left the corridor, my vision opened to reveal a large room. There was a woman on the balcony in front of it.
‘Beautiful.’
I had that feeling without even realizing it. The figure of the woman sitting on the balcony and drinking wine was truly amazing. As Gaon stared blankly at her, Sergio, who was walking in front of her, gave her a warning as if growling.
“Clear your eyes right now. I won’t forgive you if you look at me like that one more time. You just have to be faithful to the commission. Got it?”
“… Of course.”
Gaon apologized, but looked at Sergio with disapproval. When he said that, his eyes were filled with deep admiration for the woman in front of him.
He turned away from those gazes and went forward, arriving right in front of the balcony. Ignoring Sergio’s warning once again, I opened the door and stepped inside.
Kiik-
Just in time, the woman who was about to drink wine stopped at the sound of the door opening, turned her gaze, and met her eyes with Gaon. This beautiful woman, adorned with her elegant dress and fancy accessories, was Priscilla Barrymore, the countess’ hostess.
As if being chased, she set her wine glass down on the table and retrieved the ring that was lying next to it.
“You are the one who was knighted by Viscount Kielun. Nice to meet you. This is Priscilla Barrymore.”
“It’s called vacation. I look forward to.”
“Please take care of me too. Sit down than that. Let’s talk slowly.”
“Excuse me.”
Gaon lowered his head once and put his butt across from him. As he meets his eyes, he gets sentimental again.
Her purple eyes were illuminated, and half were colored orange. She said it was like she was looking at the sky at sunset.
As she met her eyes like that, she came to her senses belatedly. Even though she was only about a second in terms of her time, being mesmerized like this was not something she could do, let alone Cho-rin and Ha-yeon.
Taking his eyes off her face, Gaon was able to take a closer look at her dress.
‘It’s unusual.’
Her dress was made of two pieces of fabric, the outer fabric running diagonally from the right shoulder to the left side, and the inner fabric wrapping around her left breast.
But there were no bra straps. It is probably a one-piece unit with a pad inside. That means that if you take off your dress, you will be naked. I feel like my imagination is being stimulated.
The lower part was also split on one side, and since the legs were crossed, the thighs were exposed.
It’s hard to believe that she is a married woman, and her body is so smooth that there is no flab. If someone who doesn’t know her sees her, she’ll just think she’s a virgin.
‘Let’s calm down.’
Uncharacteristically, she gave up her agitation over her physical appearance. He’s not here for a blind date, so he needs to calm down.
Gaon was about to get to the point, but Priscilla took her luck first.
“As you can see from the request, it has already been a year since my son died. It was a carriage accident. But I definitely believe there is some hidden truth. Even if it’s an accident, it’s strange that not one person died. I hope you find the culprit. Can you?”
“Yes. You can.”
“… You are sure. I usually say I’ll do my best. Did you say that knowing that such words would rather undermine trust?”
Priscilla was straightforward. It wasn’t because she was superior in terms of her status, she just seemed to be the way her personality was. The pressure exerted through her distinctive aura was unusual.
However, Gaon shook off the pressure casually and answered.
“Because she is confident. We will resolve it within a month.”
“… It’s hard to believe. Let me believe it though. Then go out You can receive related materials from Sir Sergio. Contact will be made through the hotel. When I hear the story, I will make an appointment.”
“Okay, then I’ll see you in a week.”
It was a hidden word that meant that clues could be found in a week. Thanks to that, the trust faded even more in Priscilla’s eyes, but she didn’t particularly care.
It’s because I know that this will come back with more trust anyway.
As I left the balcony, Sergio approached me.
“You didn’t listen to the warning.”
“Give me her materials first.”
“You guys… !”
Anger overflows from her eyes. Despite the bloody momentum that seemed like he would pull out his sword at any moment, Gaon threatened him in reverse.
“It would be better to give it quickly. If she persisted, Priscilla-sama might come. In that case, I have no choice but to tell the truth. You’re interfering with the investigation.”
“Ouch! How dare you be a free knight!”
He was a man with an unusual sense of seonmin. Watching the guy grit his teeth and stare at him, he pointed to the balcony and quickly took out a document from his bosom and handed it to him.
“You guys. If you do not fulfill his request, I will immediately cut off his head.”
“It won’t happen, so don’t worry.”
Gaon passed Sergio and headed for the front door. He didn’t want to start a war of nerves either, but he crossed the line.
If you were an escort knight, you would escort him, so why did you step out? It’s short, but looking at it, the two weren’t particularly special.
At least on Priscilla’s side, she wasn’t conscious of him as a man. Even when she was talking to Gaon, she didn’t even look at Sergio.
If you want to fall in love, you have to do it alone. Do not be a nuisance to others.
“Whoa…”
I sigh for nothing.
Thinking of getting out of here quickly, Gaon hurriedly moved outside.
