“worry?”
Sebastian tried to pronounce it in his mouth as if he had heard a very unfamiliar word, and then burst into laughter.
Erica’s cool spirit bit the delicate flesh in her mouth so hard that it hurt.
‘Uh, what should I do?’
It’s okay for you.
Because she was a person of lower status than Bonpiju.
However, it was difficult to show such an arrogant attitude towards Sebastian Acliffe.
But is it because there is no one here to control her reins? Bonpiju crossed the line without fail.
You boldly opened your mouth as if you wanted to make up for the time you spent waiting.
Because of this, Erica, who was not a party to the situation, had to feel as if someone was grabbing her by the collar and suffocating her.
Erica’s face instantly turned pale.
It was then that Sebastian’s lips twitched.
“I was worried… … .”
Erika’s small body trembled at the sound of Sebastian’s low voice. I got goosebumps.
Sebastian, who was scratching his temple with his gaze slightly lowered, raised his face again.
Cool red eyes were staring at Bonpiju quietly but with a mysterious gaze.
Eat.
Long mouth.
A cool smile leaked from between his lips.
Sebastian tried to straighten his expression by touching the corners of his mouth several times, but it didn’t seem to be easy because it was so strange and ridiculous.
‘What should I do?’
Normally I would have ignored it.
However, Sebastian fixed his gaze on BonPiju and asked back, as if he wanted to hang out for a while.
“however?”
“… … yes?”
I thought he would come back with an apology, but perhaps because he came out so shamelessly, BonPiju was unable to hide his embarrassed voice.
Sebastian asked the question in an overbearing manner, deliberately knitting one eyebrow.
“If the wait was difficult or unpleasant, wouldn’t it have been okay to go back?”
“Well, that’s… … .”
The boy’s tone was slow and persistent, as if he was constantly cornering his prey.
Possibly because his energy was pressed tightly, Bonpiju hesitated and took a couple of steps back without realizing it.
“But seeing that you stayed so patiently and waited… … .”
Sebastian deliberately stretched his tail for a moment and continued talking for a while.
Even though the tone of voice was indifferent, I could feel the cold anger.
Then, without warning, Sebastian took a long step towards where Erica and BonPiju were standing, narrowing the distance between them.
Erica swallowed dryly.
‘What do we do? The Archduke must have been very angry.’
In the eyes of others, Erica was the highest-ranking person among the Marquis Blanche’s people here and now.
Erika closed her eyes tightly and lowered her head, thinking that Sebastian was clearly trying to protest and hold me accountable.
The hands that were holding each other naturally trembled.
“Oh, Grand Duke… … !”
It was at that time that the girl was about to apologize to Sebastian on behalf of Bonpiju.
Erica felt a cold breeze faintly brush her cheek.
I quickly opened my eyes and saw him just passing by without paying any attention to me.
‘uh… … ?’
A startled Erica turned around a beat late, as if she was following the boy’s afterimage.
At that moment, suddenly!
“Ugh, ugh.”
A groan full of pain came from the mouth of Bonpiju, who was standing behind Erika.
“… … omg!”
This was because the boy was holding Bonpiju’s lower jaw with one hand and applying force.
Sebastian asked with one corner of his mouth twisted up.
“I guess it would have been a shame to go back the way it was, right? “It’s amazing to see how they endured humiliation and stayed behind to hold the wedding.”
Embarrassed, BonPiju opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
“This, this… … No, let go… … .”
But Sebastian did not loosen his grip.
On the contrary, as more and more force was applied, Bonpiju’s pronunciation became more and more muffled, and in the end, he was unable to make any sound other than moaning.
“I guess I still don’t understand the situation. “I see that you don’t know that that’s not the first thing you should say right now.”
A sneer filled with murder spilled from Sebastian’s lips.
“It’s almost the same.”
What is not the same?
Bonpiju? Or the Marquis de Blanche?
‘Maybe it’s both.’
Erica thought, biting her lip with a pale face.
Meanwhile, Bonpiju’s face was becoming as tired as plaster.
‘Oh, no.’
The wedding to be held today was personally officiated by the emperor.
But what if one of the two families dies or a fight breaks out? The situation will become irreversible.
Moreover, BonPiju is the person of the Marquis de Blanche.
Erica couldn’t tell whether the noble and arrogant Marquis de Blanche really thought of BonPiju, who was just a servant, as his own.
However, I could naturally tell during our time together that the head maid considered herself to be her master’s confidant.
‘Of course, BonPiju is a much more important person to the Marquis than someone like me, who is not even his real daughter.’
So, I just thought that saving my life came first no matter what.
As if the limit had been reached, the black point in Bonpiju’s eyes began to gradually move back. Not only that, but drool was flowing from her parted lips.
Erica hurriedly approached the two and stopped Sebastian.
“Great, Grand Duke. “Please calm down.”
But Sebastian did not relax his grip. All he could do was look at Erica, slowly moving his cool red eyes that gave me goosebumps.
The girl’s mouth was dry from the bloody force, but she collected the dry saliva and swallowed it.
Then, he slowly bowed his head towards Sebastian and bowed his head.
“I will apologize on your behalf, so please forgive the head maid. “Oh, it’s my fault for not being able to properly teach my subordinates.”
“… … .”
There was no answer from Sebastian.
After a while, the only sound I heard was a small clicking of my tongue, like tinnitus.
Sebastian didn’t say a word in response to Erica’s words, but glanced in the direction of Bonpige and scolded her coldly.
“Please know that your life was saved thanks to your master. “It would be better if you control your tongue with a grateful heart for the rest of your life.”
At the same time, Sebastian’s hand that was holding Bonpiju lost all its strength.
BonPiju flopped down on the spot and coughed violently.
“Cough! Cough!”
Still, unlike before, his complexion had returned quite a bit.
After a while, Erica secretly let out a long breath.
Meanwhile, Sebastian looked at Erica’s face for a moment and then quickly withdrew his gaze.
Then, tsk, he clicked his tongue roughly and shook off the hand that was holding Bonpiju’s lower jaw.
However, as if he was not satisfied, he immediately took off the glove with a rough movement and threw it away without notice.
The old priest, who had been quietly observing the situation, approached Sebastian and smiled kindly.
“It’s been a while since we last met, Archduke Acliffe. How have you been?”
No matter how powerful the Archduke Acliffe family was, the High Priest was a cautious person from Sebastian’s point of view.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. “I’m glad to see you’re still correct.”
The ferocious force from before was nowhere to be seen, as if he had washed his eyes with water.
Erika felt even more nervous as she saw Sebastian’s polite manner, as if he were measuring his angle.
The old priest lightly tapped Sebastian on the shoulder and spoke in a much quieter voice.
“You endured well, Grand Duke. Isn’t it a great day? “You think Marquis Blanche’s chief maid is too loyal to her master, so she goes too far.”
“Hmm.”
“It must have been because the lady from Blanche waited outside in the cold wind for quite a long time.”
Sebastian’s lips were tightly shut, but then relaxed in an instant.
After my head cooled down quickly, I felt like everything had relaxed.
His face relaxed for a moment.
Then he spoke in a weak voice.
“If you think they want an excuse, it’s because of the carriage that they’re late.”
At his words, the eyes of everyone gathered here turned towards the carriage brought from the Grand Duke’s family.
