The Tyrant Mistook Me for a Companion

TMMC Chapter 78

Chapter 78:

 

Edgar did not hide his surprise at Leon’s words.

“The Crown Prince has decided to do you a favor.”

“Yes, he is.”

“What are you going to ask for?”

“Well, I can’t tell you yet, but I think I should let you know that it’s for Elle.”

Leon’s behavior has been quite agreeable these days.
No hesitation, no regrets. He had the power to compete against the royal family, so there was nothing more to be desired.

“Now I like you.”

“……I don’t do it for your liking.”

“Oh, yes, yes. It doesn’t matter. It’s important that it’s for Elle.”

Now Elle was in a very vague position.
It was not enough to be Duke Sen’s companion, but had a red pattern, and was a rival to Janice for her companion, Leon.
According to Edgar’s opinion, the royal family must be thinking of attracting him to their side.

“Elle’s disappearance will be solved sooner or later.”

“It can’t be helped. Now that Elle has made up her mind to do so…….”

“Yes, above all, the duke will take the bait.”

Isn’t he even searching for Elle’s whereabouts using the truth serum.
It was obvious that he was anxious.
It was useless, but he seemed to have nothing to hide now.

“I don’t know if it’s okay to let Elle do as she pleases.”

“What can I do? I don’t think she wanted to stay still.”

Edgar stopped her, but he knew his daughter’s personality well.
I’m glad she didn’t do it, but she almost got ahead of herself.

“But, I will take care of Duke Sen.”

“Why? Do you have any other ideas?”

Leon nodded.

“The red-patterned hunter. It’s me.”

“……Ha.”

“When I realized that Elle’s pattern was red, I frantically searched for a companion. It was me in the beginning, but I didn’t do it afterwards, so don’t worry.”

Leon glanced at Edgar’s countenance.
However, he nodded with a calm expression.

“The people I tried to deal with were already the ones who tried to kill their companion, so it didn’t matter.”

“Well, I’m not interested in that.”

Leon doesn’t know, but he was also a man who did things that he shouldn’t have done.
In other words, he is not a great man in a blink of an eye.

“Then I’ll leave you to deal with Duke Sen.”

“I, too, have a favor to ask of the Count.”

“What is it?”

“I think the royal family will bother you, so please stop them.”

“What?”

Are you leaving me to take care of the rest now?

“The Princess has begun to move in seriously. Isn’t it too early to show the card that she has the same pattern as Delther yet?”

“……That’s true.”

“You need to either persuade her or stop her well so that she won’t die in my hands, you’ll have to do it.”

Leon really seemed to be even thinking of killing Janice.
If Elle finds out about this, there will be an uproar.

“I agree with the idea.”

Edgar was no different. He’s been thinking of pulling Janice out of the royal family and at the same time taking their weaknesses and breaking them down.
Janice Abel Bonita. She does not yet know the connection between her mother’s death and the Velois family.
That’s why she’s jumping into everything to live like that.
Edgar put his hand over Leon’s head, lying in bed, and disheveled it.

“……What are you doing?”

Leon snapped Edgar’s hand off with a straight face.

“I heard it’s called a family. My daughter likes this.”

“…What family?”

Leon murmured and turned his head with a whimper.

“It looks like we’ve made a very interesting alliance. Let’s keep this a secret from Elle.”

“Don’t make a mistake, Count.”

As expected, the two did not fit. It’s a better picture to growl when they look at each other.
Leon and Edgar chuckled and smiled.

‘Ha, I should have kicked him out as a child.’

I think I’ve really gotten attached to him without realizing it.

I want to help if he was having a hard time even though he pushed and bullied me so much.
No, it’s just to pay off my last debt.
Edgar shook his head to erase his thoughts.
I kept feeling like my daughter was being dragged into what she had planned.

“He’s won, what a shame.”

I was accepting the child I had pushed out so much as a family.
And that’s an adult son who’s already grown up.
It would be something to frown upon if others knew, but Edgar didn’t seem to be so bad.

Bang!

“I can’t wait any longer! What did you talk about?”

Anxiety was evident in Elle’s eyes as she opened the door at will and looked at Leon and Edgar alternately.

“Are you really not going to tell me?!”

She was clearly anxious now.
An alliance between a madman and a madman…… I’m going crazy.

* * *

“Are you sure you won’t tell me?”

“Elle, I’m still sick.”

Leon whined and rubbed at me.
I pushed him away and stared at him to the fullest.

“What the hell were you talking about?”

“We didn’t say much.”

“Okay? Really?”

Leon nodded his head. I don’t think it’s a lie when I stare at his red eyes…….

“But why did my father tell me to stay here?”

“He must have thought it was safer here.”

“Trusting you?”

I think you’re the most dangerous guy.
It’s clear that he don’t know for sure what kind of relationship I have with Leon.
I can’t believe he left his daughter to a wolf.

“……I’m sick.”

Leon dug in, embracing my waist a little more.

“Elle, put me to sleep.”

“Where!”

Do you think I don’t know what you’re trying to do while pretending to be innocent!
I couldn’t get rid of Leon while saying that.
I looked down at him, gently stroking his hair.
Long eyelashes fell on the closed eyes.
The desire to touch it suddenly sprang up, but I wasn’t stupid enough to bait the beast that was holding back.

“I won’t do anything. Really, we’ll just hold hands and sleep.”

Leon blinked slowly, opening his eyes upward.
I keep asking, where do you keep learning these things?

“……I really can’t sleep.”

“I feel comfortable when you put me to sleep”

“Should I ask another wizard?”

I think it’ll be a good shot if we magically put him to sleep.

“I can see what you’re thinking, but I need your touch now.”

Leon drew my hand with his eyes wide open like a cat.
Raised above his head, he closed his eyes, making me pet him slowly.

“I’ll just put you to sleep and go.”

“Yes.”

He’s obedient at times like this.
I had to pat him on the head.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“I’m all right.”

Leon replied in a languid voice.

“Yes, I think you’re all right.”

Leon wrapped his arms around my waist and smiled softly. It seems like he keep laughing at my words.

“Hey!”

And in an instant, he grabbed my waist and pulled me down so I could face him.
Lying side by side on the bed, we looked at each other.

“You, you!”

I pulled back, but Leon drew me even closer.
Leon’s body odor, which came with a hook, made my head dizzy.
I mean, I’m weak against handsome people.
Black hair and red eyes. And slightly wet hair with a solid body.
What an alluring seduction.
I gulped and turned my head. Even though I was looking at the front, I could feel Leon’s gaze.

“Don’t look. I told you not to look.”

“That’s up to me.”

Leon leaned closer to me.

“I’ll just watch.”

“That’s the most dangerous thing.”

Just looking at you is dangerous for me.
He’s really fearless.

“All right. I won’t.”

Leon caressed my back gently.

“So don’t be nervous and go to sleep.”

“…You’re so mean?”

In his arms, I heard the sound of his heart.
His heart is pounding. My tired body welcomed with a pleasant sound.

* * *

“Why are you here alone, Count?”

“Oh, I have something to do to avoid my daughter’s eyes.”

Sir Hessen shrugged at Edgar’s words.

‘I feel uneasy whenever he say that.’

I couldn’t stay still because I felt like he was going to cause a scene.

“Send an invitation to Princess Janice.”

“…Really?”

Edgar nodded to Lord Hessen’s question.
Would I lie then.
Leon left Janice to me, so I’ll move.
He will handle Duke Sen. I didn’t know he’d clean up that mess.

“You’ve done something quite interesting.”

I like it.
Edgar flicked his hand with a smile.

“Move fast. You had better not let the Emperor know.”

“What? Is that even possible?”

“Why? is it impossible?”

“……No.”

He won. I really need to hit this shit.
Are you going to live with shame?
Hessen shrugged his shoulders and headed out the room.

“…Sir El.”

“Yes, I was still listening.”

“Please.”

“Don’t worry.”

El and Hessen nodded with expressions of understanding each other.
As expected, working under someone is not very hard.
Especially if you’re under a bad tempered boss.
