Chapter 190 – 18. Henrietta of Deviation (Complete)
According to the expression of the mystic scholar, Lucienne Lemoang, there is such an expression in the theory of fame that is popular in Sarhu, the Far East. It was said that this is how it refers to an existence that is extremely reliable as an ally, but is less burdensome than that when turned into an enemy.
“Romuald, it seems that your sister will have to stay in the frozen land for a while. I don’t want to burden you, so I’m thinking of purchasing decent land or buildings in the church’s name. I plan to work hard on trade there and clean up the city. Human history, as always, has fallen amidst prosperity.”
Do not dare to ignore the blue and spiritual beast on the left side of Zhoushan, the left blue dragon.
“Oh my goodness? That’s a very silly word. There’s no way the abbess would do that, but as the history of mankind says, it’s always been that way. Most of the priests who set out for the cause of preaching the gospel crossed the line and became corrupt. That is why more and more people are eagerly seeking the era of separation of church and state.”
Wu Baekho, never lose sight of the white and spiritual beast on the right side of Zhushan.
“I don’t know what kind of heart it is to intervene in a family chat. I’ve heard that the eastern countrymen tend to be meddlesome in other people’s affairs. I can’t imagine a person the size of a duchess would do that frivolously.”
“It’s really unfortunate that a person who is known as a minister makes remarks that are steeped in regional prejudice. Above all, as Oriane’s older sister, I only spoke euphemistically. I thought it would be better not to meddle in the territory that my brother rules.”
“As the abbess of Gaul, why is it interfering with caring for a religiously underdeveloped area?”
“As Daryl’s son-in-law’s sister-in-law, it’s just that I don’t need to be aware. It would be embarrassing if you go forward needlessly and only raise your suspicions toward the baron. There has been a lot of talk these days.”
Banquets held in a free atmosphere really took off. In the midst of delicious food and cheerful tunes, people laughed and chatted happily. Of course, there were also those who tried to use their political skills to gain tangible and intangible benefits.
Most of the guests were happy to celebrate Dongto’s victory.
“All beautiful roses have thorns, but I can’t just listen to that and move on. I don’t know what the climate is like where Madame LeBlanc lives, but since Archbishop Monet, my godfather, took office, there has been no such deviation at the church level.”
“You don’t know, do you? But while you relax, something may happen that reminds you of the lesson that the same mistakes are repeated. Just in time, I also have business in the north, so I’m likely to stay for a long time, so I’ll just keep an eye on it. To prevent Oriane from being cast by someone lowly.”
“Are you insulting my brother in the face?”
“Don’t you have any specifics? You must be stabbed a lot.”
As Lucienne told me one day, except for the women who are worthy of the dragon and tiger to the left and right.
“You don’t seem to have the courage to pinpoint who it is.”
“I have to elaborate so that people who understand are not the problem.”
The two noble ladies, known for their noble character, reproached each other with soft voices, laughing. As if they were competing to see who could stick more three-tongue daggers into each other’s chest, they continued to engage in a bloody argument.
‘I guess pettiness and grandeur could coexist…’
The table set against the space on the wall of the banquet hall was a considerable distance from the seats of other guests. And thanks to that, the quarrel between the abbess and the duchess could have been prevented from going up and down in the cubicles of the rich people, but that didn’t eliminate the difficulties of Rome, who was sitting in the high seat.
“Well, you two should calm down…”
“Romuald, you’re talking about your sister!”
“Baron Ardennes, do you think it is okay to cut me off just because I became a brother-in-law?”
The two women, who were furrowing their brows, glared at Rome with raised eyes. It was an unfair treatment for a baron who had already resolved his affair with his concubine. Even then, there was still no sign of displeasure.
‘It’s sad…’
After all, he was a human too.
“Don’t be quick to talk to my sister, Mrs. LeBlanc!”
“Why don’t you look back on your own behavior before speaking?”
One interesting thing was the fact that Oriane, who was sitting next to the baron, didn’t care too much about the two of them fighting. It was understandable, though, that Lucienne, who was sitting across from her, was sipping wine leisurely and peeking at the smooth female.
‘Perhaps it’s because I’m well aware of the mentality of execution.’
Her countess her, who had been drinking from cup after cup like her second daughter her, reddened her face. As she made a cute hiccup sound, she laughed and looked at me and her sister and sister-in-law and said innocently.
“Whoops, when did you two become so close?”
Marguerite and Henrietta both turned their heads at the same time. He reacted sensitively as if he had touched even the reverse. Only then did Rom realize that his wife was simply drunk, and she also realized that Lucienne, who was silently giggling with her mouth covered, had already seen it through.
“I don’t understand. It seems that Madame Lemoang’s use of the word close is rather broad.”
“Yes, Orian! Where do you think I’m friendly with such a fanatical minions?”
The sister, who dared not confront, ferociously spilled the old sister of Aquitaine. Looking at her status her alone, even the highest-ranking executioner in this position was not pushed by her spirit her and gazed at her face to face. The action of the two snarling and licking their lips in a shaky blue look was embarrassing to Rome, who was caught in the middle.
“A fanatic? If you use such words these days, it’s perfect to hear the fallout behind the times. I don’t know if it’s okay for a duchess-like person to be so uncultured.”
“Under? Then why do you mean to refer to the sun as the moon?”
“Huh, well, I won’t stop you if you want to show off your clownishness.”
The ferocious eyes flashed from side to side at every turn. Moreover, coincidentally, since Rom was a knight who could sense the lives of others, he had to taste the feeling of being choked by the energy emitted by the two women.
“Country bumpkin? In case someone is not a religious person, the skill of talking rudely is an art. But as a full-grown aristocratic woman, I am not at all struck by such words. I just drank a glass of this well- ripened wine and passed it like an adult. Even that would be difficult for our abbot, who has to pretend to be ascetic and hypocritical.”
“I’m sorry, but our denomination doesn’t have rules about prohibition?”
“Okay? So, shall we see who will fall asleep first?”
“Confidence breeds anger, Mrs. LeBlanc.”
“You’ll know when you see it!”
Henrietta faded her sneer and provoked her. Margaret accepted the challenge, emptying her share of wine at once. It was served as an aperitif, so the alcohol content wasn’t very high, but that didn’t mean it was okay to gulp down like drinking water.
The two of them didn’t care about it at all.
“Here the glass is empty! Bring me two glasses of wine!”
“No, three cups! Our Rom’s glass was empty too!”
“Four cups for that! Whose sister is not precious?”
The maid who had taken her right and left orders brought four bottles of expensive wine on shiny silver trays. At first, she brought several round glasses with her, so she thought that she was also taking orders from other customers, but no.
‘… Uh?’
The idioty maid set down four bottles in the center of her table and began passing her new glasses to everyone. Until Rom, stunned by the unexpected development, hurriedly tried to restrain himself and spoke out.
“Hey, wait a minute.”
“What are you doing, Baron?”
“We said four glasses, not four bottles…”
“Ah, are you serious?”
“Let’s get the three bottles. If you get it wrong, there will be no turning back…”
As she walked in and out of the mansion, the maid she had seen several times was startled and tried to retrieve her bottle of her. Then, she immediately flinched at the command of the two people after her, realized that I was not the place to fit in, and slipped away from her seat her.
“Baron, just put that bottle down and go! How can you be so miserly that even the drinks served at the banquet are stingy?”
“Watch your words, Madame LeBlanc! Does my sister look like a kid who can barely afford to stick to that kind of penny?”
“I can see it!”
“Hmm, it might be a shame if it’s alcohol that goes into your wife’s mouth!”
Indeed, it was Marguerite of the dragon and Henrietta of the tiger.
“Romuald, aren’t the frozen land’s finances so tight that you have to save on that drink?”
“What a pity! On the contrary, if it’s too overflowing, it’s a problem! She could live for a thousand years, ten thousand years, if not for the lowly husband to get drunk on extravagance and squander her family’s wealth of her!”
“You have a great talent for injecting without getting drunk, right? It makes me wonder just how much more nonsense he’s going to get in the future!”
“Oh, I’m more curious about when the abbess was drunk! Why do hypocritical people say that their true nature comes out when they only drink alcohol?”
Rom groaned secretly and touched his forehead. Again and again, I tried to dissuade the two women, grateful that my table was far removed from the seats around her. The more so, the more fiercely confronted the two eventually exchanged completely primary criticism and opened the bottle cap, but it was like that.
“Let’s drink, Rom!”
“Yes?”
“I have no choice but to get drunk to endure the pain of attending a banquet with such an ignorant woman!”
“Uh, I’m a bit troubled with alcohol…”
“Seeing that you’re already about to withdraw, you can get a rough idea of how nasty the baron’s drinking habit is. What kind of face will our abbot make if her fretful brother’s shame is revealed because she didn’t take care of her so much?”
“No, why are you talking like that…”
“It’s nasty, but who has a nasty drinking habit? My brother is the best knight in the country and a man of men! It’s a pity that your wife’s impoverished imagination that such a child can’t even survive a drink!”
After pouring the contents of a newly opened wine bottle into an empty wine glass, Margaret immediately urged Rome. Unconcerned, he opened his eyes, not paying attention to the fact that he quietly shook his head from side to side.
“Who, sister?”
And in the meantime, Henrietta, who had ridicule all over her face her, spat out her words of ridicule as if she had waited.
“Puhuh, that’s right!”
“Rom! You won’t embarrass your sister, will you?”
“You can’t drink! I’m afraid that people will find out how open-minded I am usually!”
“No, there…”
The hangover I experienced after drinking mayuju in Jeongju in the far north was like a nightmare. Not wanting to make such a mistake again, Rom looked at the mother and daughter in turn, who were sitting next to and across from her with earnest eyes.
‘Are you Orian? Will you help me?’
‘Hmm, what should I do?’
‘Please! I’m serious!’
‘I can’t. I wanted to see Seo Bang-nim drunk at least once.’
‘Lucienne! Help me too!’
‘Yes? Cutie Lucienne doesn’t know anything.’
‘Crazy…’
It was a quandary. The baron, who had nowhere to back down in front of his sister’s torch, struggled to lift the cup I was holding. To him, who was weak in alcohol enough to go crazy with just one or two sips of mayuju, which had almost no alcohol content, the overflowing wine was like a deadly drug.
So it was the last time I had a conflict.
“Because I can’t drink!”
“You can drink! Stop interfering with my brother!”
“Under! It’s obvious that you’re forcing it, but what!”
Marguerite and Henrietta, who couldn’t stand it, started fighting again. And Rom, unable to bear it any longer, drank his share of wine like poison. As soon as I felt my face crumpled due to the deep bitterness, I felt dizzy as if I had been hit in the back of the head.
‘Ugh, it seemed like this…’
Sure enough, less than ten seconds had passed and I was getting drunk. My eyes were stained black, and only the voices of those chattering in my ears could be heard. Then, as if there was a power outage, in the world that went dark all at once, I felt the raucous events pass by quickly.
In other words, the rom was just out of reach.
* * *
It wasn’t long before he regained consciousness, albeit faintly. It was around the time I had no idea how much time had passed. The heavy eyelids his did n’t even bother to lift, and the hangover, which he was not used to, made the baron’s head, which had been fine with any blows, feel like it would break off.
“Um…”
Fortunately, the sense of smell and touch are intact. It allowed Rom to smell the familiar scent of the room. I realized that this was a room in the Winter Mansion. Among them, he noticed that it was the bedroom of my love, Orianer Le Moin.
There were also breasts that couldn’t be grasped with one hand where I stretched out my arms inadvertently in the soft box that was sure to be a bed. In the bedroom of the Marquis Marquis, who else could I have sex with?
‘What, how did it go well… ?’
Finally relieved, the baron raised his upper body while rubbing his dirty eyes. As the image slowly formed, I looked around with my eyesight returning. As expected, the place I slept was Oriane’s bedroom, and I smiled.
“… ?”
I was shocked, but something was strange. It was because there was a completely strange person in the position of a wife who should have greeted me shyly with a bright smile. I was ashamed and angry because the woman whose face was red and blue was glaring at me like she was going to kill me.
“… ?”
If you look at the food and look away, it’s purple, not blonde.
“… ?”
Even after washing my eyes, it was not golden, but purple.
“… ?”
Even if you die and wake up, it’s not Lemoang, it’s Leblanc.
“… !”
Only then did Rome’s spirit flash. He listened to the woman who belatedly grasped the situation and accused him of being a beast or a rapist. I opened my mouth to see her blushing, trying to cover things up somehow.
“Eh, this is like a one-night stand, so be aware of that… !”
As the saying goes, her true identity is the Duchess of LeBlanc.
She was the deviant Henrietta.
