Chapter 36:
“Huh! What are you doing……!”
As if angry, the Young Lord hit the table and got up from his seat.
I frowned as he raised his hand to grab Leon by the collar.
“Stop, if you touch my servant, I won’t stay still either.”
I flapped out the fan and warned him low.
‘Oh, I didn’t even ask his name. I wasn’t even curious.’
Edgar should have given me some basic information.
Now I can’t even ask for his name…….
But I need to double check.
“Miss, I must now hear the explanation of why this servant has done this insult.”
He said to me, biting his teeth hard.
That’s what I want to ask Leon.
My head was throbbing. What the hell are you thinking…….
“Nowhere else does the servant wipe the tea with his tongue.”
Of course. Where are you going to do this?
I quickly shook my head at the Young Lord’s words. It seems that this is probably the only way.
“Well, it’s true. In a normal place.”
“Normal? That means the Velois family is not a normal family?”
It was obviously a sarcastic tone.
I tapped the handkerchief on the cart down on the table.
‘Sigh, Edgar will go wild again if he finds out.’
There was no answer. What can I do now?
“Human skin is soft. It would be even more so if it were a tongue.”
“What are you trying to say now?”
“I get hives when I use these cheap handkerchiefs incorrectly.”
The young duke, who I didn’t even know his name, laughed out loud at my words.
“I often use the servant’s tongue in place of a handkerchief. It’s pretty warm and soft.”
“Huh! That’s what you’re saying!”
He couldn’t contain his anger again and knocked down the table.
He swept his hair as if he was anxious and collected his breath.
I opened my eyes wide and fixed my eyes on the young duke’s wrist.
“If the two of us are making good progress, saliva shouldn’t be too bad.”
I didn’t even intend to marry him anyway, so why don’t you make a fuss about this?
Besides, I think it’s clear.
I crossed my arms and raised the tip of my chin slightly.
“I heard you’re having fun these days”
“Huh? be accurate who!”
“Oh, it’s quite different from what I’ve heard.”
Actually, I didn’t hear anything. However, there has been a trend among nobles since long ago.
Making a premarital lover. Secret and quite thrilling relationship.
“If you don’t mind, maybe a second?”
“Ha! Such rudeness.”
“You were rude to me, too, weren’t you?”
I fanned up his shirt.
Then, the pattern was revealed on the hidden wrist.
‘You little punk.’
That’s true. I didn’t miss it earlier.
“This is…!”
The embarrassed young duke hurriedly hid the pattern.
“I guess you wanted my father’s power, what should I do. I’m not that nice.”
Actually, I wouldn’t have seen it if he wasn’t angry earlier.
“I wonder how it would be if my father found out about this.”
I folded the fan with a smile and propped it on my chin.
“What do you want to do?”
He shuddered at my words.
“Come to think of it, what’s your name”
“…… Cedric, Cedric Amelan.”
Cedric trembled with a contemptuous face.
He said that the pattern had not yet appeared, and that was a lie.
So you lied about your age.
I glanced over him with cold eyes.
“Young Lord Cedric Amelan. I feel sorry for your companion.”
It was sincere. Falling in love with that guy, it was sad
I didn’t want to mess around anymore.
” Okay then, let’s talk well about each other for today “
I rose from my seat, looked down at him, and winked at Leon.
“It’s not good to make it obvious in front of others like this. Come here.”
I reached for Leon, who was standing still. Leon’s eyes blinked slowly.
I snorted and dragged Leon’s hand.
Oh, my.
“…Elle?”
Where does the spirit from before go and you make this expression again.
“Uh, shh. Shh. Leon, let’s leave the drawing room like this.”
He glanced at Cedric, who still had no sign of getting up from his seat, and stepped outside.
* * *
“By the way, what’s wrong with you?”
I just wanted to hear an explanation of why you did that.
However, Leon did not open his mouth or make any excuses.
“Huh? Leon. Tell me. What were you thinking about posing as an attendant?”
I put my hand on my waist and put my face close to Leon.
Leon cleaned up my messy clothes and soon smiled broadly.
“Just, I wonder if I can see you.”
” I mean, I’m asking if it was when I was meeting the duke’s son.”
“…I’m curious because I heard that he came to you.”
Ah.
You look like that again.
I couldn’t argue any more after all. Well, since the work ended well(?).
“Did you know that he came here?”
“……I happened to see it.”
“Then I’ll give you a heads up. Don’t do that from now on.”
It’s not good for you and for me.
“……Elle, I’m glad the pattern didn’t appear on you.”
Leon did not reply to my words and immediately spoke about the pattern.
That’s true. I was free. As soon as the pattern appears, a companion is decided.
If a pattern appeared, who knows if he would be such a strange companion.
The mere thought of it gave me goosebumps.
“Well, not this time. But why the pattern all of a sudden?”
“Just. I hope so…… I don’t want to see you smiling next to another guy.”
I still laugh a lot.
I often laughed in front of others as well as Leon.
“Well, Leon? I smile a lot…….”
Again, again.
a different atmosphere. And the way Leon looked at me had changed.
I closed my mouth tightly in a straight line and looked up at Leon.
What the hell are you thinking about right now?
Leon looked at the hand that I held.
“Like this, you always hold my hand first.”
” This…I couldn’t help it. You can’t stay there.”
I made a hasty excuse, but I didn’t expect to hold his hand until now.
I let go of Leon’s hand, which I had held tightly.
Leon looked at me with a regretful look on his face.
“Leon, what if you get ready?”
“……Yes.”
He nodded reluctantly.
“Oh, I should get going. I think my father will find me.”
It’s an excuse, but it’s dangerous to be like this.
And really Edgar might find me. If he told the duke everything I’ve done before.
Leon said in a low voice, grabbing the end of my sleeve as I moved away.
“Elle, you are my only friend and family. My one and only family. And my own little world.”
“……What?”
“So I want only my ribbon on your wrist.”
Leon gently stroked my wrist.
Again, bitterness flashed in his eyes.
* * *
When I entered the room, my heart beat like crazy.
I looked like a person who ran away as if being chased by someone.
“Diria! Give me some cold water with ice cubes!”
In my words Diria brought ice water without knowing why.
She still looked puzzled.
“Young Lady? You’re supposed to be seeing Young lord Cedric right now…….”
I reached out and stopped her talking.
“Diria. Don’t talk about him. Because you’ll freak out if you hear the story.”
I can’t even say he has a pattern on his wrist, how do you do this?
I’m thinking of using this as a weakness for now.
‘It’s hard to burst this now.’
I had to wait a little longer. Because Leon is involved.
I gulped down cold water straight away.
That’s not the point now. Leon’s behavior was like…….
Oh! No, that can’t be true!
I shook my head violently. Still, my heart hasn’t calmed down.
“Diria, one more drink!”
“Are you okay, Young Lady?”
She asked me with a worried look.
I sighed and shook my head.
“Don’t ask. I’m afraid I’ll go crazy again if I spit it out.”
Diria did not ask any more. She just bought a glass of cold water that I wanted and handed it over.
As I gulped down again, the coolness spread down my throat and down my chest.
It’s not enough. This won’t calm me down.
“Drink slowly, lady. If you drink cold water so fast, your heart might stop.”
“I wish it would stop.”
“What kind of frightening story are you talking about! You’ll be in trouble.”
Diria covered her mouth with her hands and opened her eyes wide.
“Really.”
I meant it.
My heart was about to burst with such a mad leap.
Calm down, you crazy heart.
I banged my head on the table and closed my eyes.
“……What are you really going to do?”
