Chapter 114:
It’s dangerous to do more.
I instinctively pushed Leon away.
“Le, Leon!”
Leon looked disappointed at my urgent words.
“This.”
Even the heat between the slanted shirts.
I managed to pull myself out of the space.
“Oh, my lady! I’ve been looking for you for a while”
She seems to have been looking for me after getting the water.
Diria came running to me waving her hand.
I felt Leon’s gaze staring at me in the small space, but I turned away.
‘How can you keep looking at me like that?’
I didn’t know how the heat on my face would cool down. It was useless to keep my hand fanning my face.
“Are you not feeling well?”
“Oh, no.”
I hurriedly put my back and waved my hand behind it.
It was to say don’t come out and stay in there.
But Leon seemed unwilling to do as I said.
Tuk.
“Agh!”
I was surprised by the touch that touched my fingertips.
I’m sure he’s doing it. He’s really serious about teasing me.
“My Lady?”
Diria put her hand on my forehead with a worried look.
“Oh my gosh! You seem to have a little fever. You need to go and rest.”
“Yes?”
She got it wrong, but I nodded.
I had to go to my room because I didn’t know what kind of prank Leon would play if I kept staying there.
“I need to get some rest. Let’s go!”
I pushed Diria’s back and quickly headed to the room.
* * *
“Oh, that’s good.”
Diria lay down the water she got.
Although my body was already warm, the half-bath was perfect for fatigue.
Leon will also go to his room and rest well, right?
I saw it before, why do I want to see it again?
I closed my eyes, soaking myself in the water.
After that, it may dissolve in water and disappear.
I was so sleepy that I left the bathroom.
“Oh, that’s so nice.”
Have I ever felt so comfortable?
Now, all I have to do is deal with Janice and Delther’s affairs and the royal family.
As I lay down on the bed, a warm feeling embraced me.
Knock, knock, knock.
“My Lady, you have a letter.”
“A letter?”
I pulled up my tired body.
I’ll get a letter from him!
The royal seal was not stamped, but only Delther’s came in secret.
“I didn’t expect it to come this soon.”
Diria handed me the letter and left the room.
I sat on the bed staring at the letter.
If I open this, will there be something I’ve been waiting for? If only there is…
I closed my eyes tightly and opened the envelope.
[Paternity verification test].
Contrasting Janice Abel Bonita with Terbion Bonita…
The results are inconsistent.]
“Wow!”
I lost all my energy.
With simple magic, it was a result that could be found out even at the level of the royal wizard who did not belong to the magic tower.
The examination Janice did when she entered the royal family must have been fabricated by the emperor.
What would Delther have thought if he had already seen this result?
When I think about the two of them, I feel a little complicated.
But there’s something that Delther did to my father…
He must have been brainwashed too.
I didn’t dare to untangle the thread because there were a lot of things involved.
“Ha, I’ll have to tell my father after I sleep.”
I need to talk to him over breakfast.
Just need to solve Leon’s pattern… What choice will Janice make?
I went to sleep trying to erase my thoughts.
* * *
Leon lay in bed but couldn’t sleep.
But if he goes to where Elle is, he’ll be kicked out.
But he had seen her earlier and he still missed her.
He can’t sleep, so should he go a little bit?
Before he could finish thinking, his body headed toward the door first.
The touch from earlier still hasn’t been shaken off.
“Oh, as expected.”
He leaned against the door and smiled. He felt like he shouldn’t be here.
But now that he can be with Elle, he doesn’t even want to go back.
There was nothing to say even if it was greed.
What should he do?
Leon leaned against the door and agonized for a long time.
He thinks he can’t. He thought he would fall asleep if he saw her face.
Eventually, Leon left the room straight away.
In secret, without anyone knowing.
“…You sleep well. I feel like I’m the only one who frets every time.”
That’s why he’s grumpy.
Leon saw Elle sleeping on the bed.
“You came in secretly, but you’re going to watch me shamelessly until when.”
“Didn’t you sleep?”
Slowly, the closed eyes opened.
A smirk appeared in her sulky eyes, perhaps pretending to be asleep.
“I pretend to sleep cutely.”
“You have to go to sleep. I’m sneaking into the room you’re sleeping in.”
Elle got out of bed.
“Don’t look at it like that. No.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“You’re talking with your eyes.”
He’ll say he’ll just sleep and go.
Elle shook her head as if she had seen through Leon’s heart.
“I was going to talk to you tomorrow, but since you’re here, look at this.”
Leon nodded at Elle’s words; his eyes were still directed at Elle.
“Isn’t it good?”
Elle unfolded the paper.
He can’t believe Delther and Janice weren’t siblings.
It was interesting, but it didn’t matter to him.
If they get in the way, it’s enough to get rid of them, and it doesn’t matter to him whether Janice’s heart is with him or not.
“That’s right.”
But it seemed quite important to Elle.
Leon smiled as if he was playing along with the rhythm.
“Are you relieved now?”
“Of course! I was so nervous that you might hurt Princess Janice.”
“Elle, that’s the story of when Janice’s heart didn’t change.”
Maybe she won’t change.
Wasn’t it power that she wanted?
“It’s going to change.”
Leon tilted his head to the side at Elle’s firm voice.
“Yes, it will change. If you can, then she will.”
Leon ruffled Elle’s hair back and listened to the story.
“I’m thinking of handing over the document I’ve been collecting to Delther.”
“…document?”
“I’ve worked hard to gather secret materials to prove the corruption of the royal family.”
She proudly raised her head and said. Looks like you worked hard.
She did her best at everything.
It was so pretty that he couldn’t let go of her either.
“Now everyone knows I’m from the Rubion family. Are you okay with that?”
He’ll get a lot of finger-pointing and maybe he’ll be treated with contempt.
He killed his family with his own hands.
Everyone may be afraid of him. Maybe even the emperor.
“I’m fine. I brought you here because I knew it from the beginning.”
Still, the way she looked at him remained the same.
So it was good.
“You have to get up early tomorrow to talk, so go to bed.”
Leon patted the side of the bed and smiled.
“You have to go to sleep.”
Elle opened her eyes and wrapped her hands around Leon’s cheeks.
“If you seduce me like this, I don’t want to go.”
“Because you always do this. I want to prank you, too.”
Leon’s eyes were glued to her playful smile.
Leon lay down on the bed with a feeling that he didn’t know what to do.
“If you want to get rid of me, kick me out.”
He closed his eyes and spread his arms.
“It’s a spacious bed even if we sleep together.”
The corners of his mouth went up automatically. Elle thought about it for a moment and took his arm.
“You have to wait for a while and then go.”
“Don’t worry. As if it were a dream, I will go to my room without anyone knowing.”
Elle hugged Leon tightly and closed her eyes.
She fell asleep with a nice smell and a warm body temperature.
“I couldn’t sleep even though I tried to, but I’m falling asleep in your arms.”
Ham.
She yawned, and then he heard a wheezing breath.
He thinks he came to the wrong place.
Leon smiled sadly and kissed Elle’s forehead.
“Good night.”
Hearing his warm voice, Elle fell asleep with a smile on her face.
* * *
“You’ve been hiding like a mouse.”
Delther growled low as he saw the man hiding in the dark.
“Oh, did I get caught?”
“You’re shameless because you didn’t hide your secret.”
Leon appeared smiling.
It seemed to be deep because he looked like he hadn’t slept.
“You look like you have a lot on your mind.”
“…I think you’ve heard the story.”
“Why else would I have come in the middle of the night?”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
Delther squeezed his stinging brow.
“How can you smell so well when you’re not even a dog?”
“Oh, you mean this?”
Leon smiled brazenly and touched the papers on the table.
“Where did this much information come from?”
It’s not Elle. He’s sure she told him earlier that she was going to give it to him because she collected the document.
If so, that means someone else gave it to him. Who wants to take this opportunity in the royal palace?
“It’s the heart of a mother who thinks about her son…”
“Sometimes knowing too much is poison.”
Delther narrowed his brow and organized the papers.
“Does the princess know about this?”
“Not yet.”
“I don’t know what you’re so worried about.”
Leon sighed and clicked his tongue. If not now, it may be irreversible.
“I think I can help you a little this time.”
“…You?”
“If you’re scared of hitting your father’s neck, let me lend you a hand.”
His red eyes glistened. Now he has revealed himself without any intention of hiding it.
“It’s already been revealed.”
“A child who received a curse. A person with red eyes who killed his family without recognizing them.”
No one was unafraid of him.
The magic of the cursed person of the Rubion family was vast.
No one can match it.
Therefore, it was also a subject of fear.
“What do you think? It will be very easy if you use me.”
“Di, did you two want this?”
Why is he bothering him so much?
“I can take care of it myself, so get out of my room.”
How they all looked at him.
It was clear that he was thinking he was incompetent.
Unlike before, Delther’s eyes became very serious.
