Chapter 17:
Presents for other young children? Why would I buy such a thing?
I’m sure I’ll be rejected as soon as I get into society anyway.
I didn’t have the slightest intention of ripping away my emergency funds.
As soon as I opened the door to the store, I heard a noise behind me.
“Hey, let go of this……! Not this one! It’s the money I have to buy my brother’s medicine!”
The child’s crying and hanging voice naturally turned his head.
“Ha… It really can’t be helped.”
I stopped holding the doorknob and turned around.
“Young Lady, it’s not good to be seen by other people. So let’s just ignore it.”
“Oh, look, the owner and his subordinates who are equally heartless.”
I clicked my tongue up and down at the knight.
“Can you ignore that when a child is crying and begging to an adult like that?”
“Yes, the Belois family is not interested in anything else……Ugh!”
The knight, who spoke out well, was annoying so I kicked off his shin.
I really don’t like it.
“All right, then you can keep an eye out. Don’t stop me if you’re not going to help.”
You were annoying when I was looking for Leon. This time too…… Well, that’s what humanity is all about.
I saw the escort with cold eyes and headed to the child lying on the floor.
But my steps stopped short.
“Stop it! What are you doing to a child?”
A slender but bold voice Silver hair that is covered by a hat but can be seen at a glance
The blue eyes were clearly visible.
“Janice…”
Wow, this is awesome.
Was it today that Delter fell in love with her before the banquet?
I listened to the unexpected harvest.
“Young lady?”
“Hush…! Quiet. Wait, wait.”
I didn’t expect to see Janice here first.
It’s a waste of time, but it wouldn’t be bad to look at the situation in advance.
I’ll buy Edgar’s present next time.
Janice raised the fallen child and stared at the men who tried to steal the money.
“I’ll pay you, so go. I’ll take the kid.”
She hid the child behind me and stood up.
“What can I do, noble lady? I don’t think this is enough, you need to give us a little more. He owes us quite a lot.”
The bullies continued to grin with ugly faces.
‘How can you do that? Help her or not?’
I agonized a lot.
It was just right for Leon to be involved in the original. You never know.
If I come out now and meet Delter, I’ll get involved.
“You guys really can’t be helped, do you?”
Janice did not back down.
Rather, it seemed like she would do her best to protect the child.
“Why did you come forward when you didn’t have money? Do we look so cheap?”
You look very cheap.
I sighed deeply and turned around.
For a moment, the man who pulled Janice’s hat threw her to the floor.
“Oh my god!”
Janice’s silvery hair revealed her beautiful face.
“Wow, you’ve been covering your pretty face like this. I thought there would be a corner to believe if I didn’t have money. Was that the face of a noble lady?”
I can’t listen to this anymore. I beckoned to the knight.
“No way.”
“Listen, if you don’t save her. I’m gonna run around here like a crazy girl right now. Of course, we’ll be late to go home, right?”
He flinched
The body of the knight trembled.
He knows I’m a person who will do things with my own hands
Edgar gave up, so how can I say he’s a knight?
Eventually, he starts to walk away.
“Hold on! Stop, shh. Come here. Quick.”
I tugged at the guard’s collar.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I don’t think you have to come forward, so let’s stay quiet.”
The guard’s eyes turned to Janice at my words.
A man reaching out to her
‘I didn’t know I’d see the face of an unlucky boy…….’
I really didn’t expect to see it. I guess it’s right that your relationship continues here.
I turned right back because I shouldn’t face him.
Imperial seal, blond hair in uniform. blue eyes like mine
Delter Cabezer Benuwa.
A male lead who is very opposites with Leon. He appeared.
My heart thumped in my ears.
‘It’s okay, it hasn’t even happened yet. Calm down.’
Embarrassed, I pressed my hat down.
Delter doesn’t know me, but I know him.
Although my actions may seem strange to Diria and the knights, there was nothing good about being noticed.
Someone who took my breath away at once.
Just thinking about it made me feel like I could stop breathing.
“Are you okay?”
Delter’s soft voice was heard in my ear.
“Ah, thank you for your help…….”
Janice rose from her position, holding Delter’s hand. The imperial knights captured the men.
In an instant, the current air turned strangely as if there were only the two of them in the place.
“What? You fall in love like that?”
I was frustrated that the situation was simpler than I thought.
Perhaps for Delter, Zenith’s existence itself felt different.
Delter blushed, unable to take his eyes off Janice in front of him.
‘Oh, the face is a possibility.’
If that’s the case, it’s recognition. But there’s one thing Delter doesn’t know.
Janice knows who Delter is, and she already knows that she will face him later.
This is the beginning of a sad narrative.
And it also marked the beginning of my death flag.
* * *
“Wow, what is he thinking right now?….”
“Young lady?”
Diria tilted her head at me.
“No, it’s nothing…….”
I couldn’t turn my gaze that was fixed on Janice and Delter.
So what else is going on over there?
You have to be curious to do business!
I hurriedly pulled the guard and Diria’s collar and hid in the space next to the store.
“Who’s attacking? You feel like you…!”
“No, please be quiet.”
The knight tried to take the sword out.
I mean, he’s a little fussy sometimes.
I gently shook my head and turned my head toward the two again.
“Oh, my!”
I quickly hid in the back of the knight and swept my chest in surprise.
I almost made eye contact.
Fortunately, the space is dark, so they won’t be able to see us.
As I listened carefully, I could hear them talking to each other.
“I think it’s my first time seeing you. What’s your name?”
I squeezed between the knight and Diria and stuck my head out.
‘Delter still didn’t let go of Janice’s hand’
It seems to have fallen in love with him.
Janice stared at her hand, which was still. Did she miss the timing to take it out?
But she feels like blushing…….
‘What is it, isn’t Janice not responding to it too bad?’
That didn’t make sense. It was impossible to create a different mind in the relationship between the two, which would soon be revealed.
It didn’t matter to me what happened between the two.
“Are you okay? Your complexion…….”
Delter swept Janice’s disheveled hair.
‘Oh my God, you’re filming all the romance by yourself.’
I took a breath and opened my eyes wide.
Those glittering eyes will know everything later and turn into despair.
It will be quite worth seeing.
I don’t know if I can see it then, but it was exhilarating just to think about it.
Janice quickly pulled out her hand, as if she had noticed Delter’s behavior.
“I’m sorry, I don’t think I can tell you my name…. Thank you for your help.”
She backed away in a hurry as if she were being chased by something.
“Now, hold on a second……!”
Delter reached out and tried to catch her, but she was already far away.
“I wish you could tell me your name….”
He looked rather disappointed. His expression suddenly reversed with his drooping shoulders.
“Get to know about that young girl.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Silver hair and blue eyes….”
He stared at his hand and headed elsewhere with the Guards.
“Well, you’ll find out later anyway.”
I finally came out of the dark space and scanned where Delter and Janice had disappeared.
“Hmm, shall I buy a present now…?”
“Young Lady, you have to move quickly.”
“Huh…?”
What? Why did time go by so fast
It was hard to buy both because it was quite a distance from the jeweler to the bakery.
“First of all, buy a gift from a jeweler….”
“What? Diria, what’s important to me today is snacks for Leon.”
“Then you’re not going to buy the Count a gift…?”
“He won’t be looking forward to it, so it’s okay.”
I took a look at the jeweler and got straight into the carriage.
“Tell them to leave quickly. I don’t want it to be sold out…….”
Diria sighed deeply.
In the end, she must have realized that it was impossible to improve my relationship with the count.
