8 I’m still happy (Completely)
The residence of the Reggiard family, the medicine storage room.
Enrithe frequently went back and forth to the medicine storage room to make medicine.
This was to be prepared in case the treatment was delayed.
In addition, even if the same medicine was made, if the sex method was mixed, the effect would be slightly better, so it was a pastime.
“What are you doing here? You can buy it from outside.”
Lesia was helping Enrite while grumbling.
As long as you keep quiet, you won’t be disturbed, but you have to pretend to be doing something.
Even if Shion and Harnette can look after her, the employees will have questions.
That’s why while patrolling the inside and outside of the mansion, he was even assisting Enrite with his duties.
“It’s better to make it myself than to buy it.”
“It’s because of the magic.”
“It’s just boring to stay still.”
“That’s better… … .”
“And you have to work to make the most of your time.”
“Can I not do this?”
Originally, Enrite was given only one task.
To quickly treat any injured in the mansion at any time.
It was a simple and easy task for Enrite, who had trained her voice, and if it was confined to this mansion, there were very few injuries.
Nevertheless, Enrite tried to find another job on her own, and Lesia only reluctantly followed.
“You eat a lot, but aren’t you getting paid? If I don’t do that much, there is nothing left.”
“what? That’s what I’m saying about how much I have to eat!”
“If you have a conscience, shouldn’t you look back on yourself?”
Lesia started to think of the food she ate today while showing a disapproving look.
For breakfast, I tasted soup with soft bread and expensive seafood, and I ate the fruit that came out for dessert neatly.
In addition, there were no snacks left for refreshments, and I ended up emptying the teapot.
“Um… Did you eat a little too much?”
“Are you saying this because you really feel it?”
“Still, are you working as much as you ate? That… I’m helping you with what you do too. Sometimes I work at night too… … .”
“Whoops… Are you taking this seriously?”
Enritte puts down the medicine box and bursts into laughter.
Lesia looked at him without thinking, then frowned.
“what? Did you try it once?”
“Isn’t that wrong?”
“I am doing everything I can. Eating more doesn’t cause problems. Wouldn’t that be better than leaving food behind and turning it into trash?”
“It’s trash… Are you saying something more convincing now?”
Enrite is satisfied and meets Lesia’s gaze.
Living as a human being, he must have realized what form this world is composed of and how it is organically connected.
Of course, it was just an excuse to rationalize their own actions, but shouldn’t it be seen that they have made a lot of progress.
“Even black doesn’t say anything… Oh, did I make a mistake again?”
Enrite muttered with her gloomy eyes.
Since he was deprived of the position of Cetinos Quasar, he could no longer be called by color.
I had already promised to use a different title, but why did it feel so awkward?
“Didn’t I tell you to call me by my first name?”
“I know, but… It is not easy to adapt.”
“Hmm… … .”
Lesia kept her mouth shut and looked around.
I don’t know the details, but I often expressed mixed feelings about Shion.
I felt like I had to say something that could change the atmosphere.
“Well… Shall I get married now?”
“You mean? hehehe… … .”
Enrite suddenly burst into laughter, and Lecia frowned and answered instead.
There must be a reason to laugh, but is it possible to show that kind of reaction after hearing just one word?
“I can do it too.”
“I can do it. But who will marry you?”
“Speaking of the younger brother of Cetinos Quasar, how many people would come and see it?”
“Are you going to sell me out and get married?”
“It’s something I can do because I’m your brother.”
“Then you will have to ask for my permission.”
“… Why?”
“Because she is your sister. Since there are no parents, shouldn’t I take responsibility on their behalf?”
“Ahh… Are you even trying to be a parent?”
“must do it. I cannot entrust you to just anyone.”
“… … ?”
Lesia was speechless at the unexpected answer.
Only then did Enritte start to move the box of medicines without smiling.
“You do not fully understand what marriage is. The same goes for those who are not married to me. So if you really want to get married, think hundreds of times before deciding. Then listen seriously.”
Enrite wanted to respect Lesia’s wishes as much as possible.
Even if he left me, he would not hold on to me, and if there was anything he wanted to do, he would help me as far as I could.
Of course, since he had an artificial sword, he would have to discuss how to dispose of it.
“Does it have to get to know each other well in order to get married?”
“It is not enough to know. You have to be dedicated and caring. black… Do you feel anything when you see Shion and Hanette?”
“They seem to be fighting pretty well too… … .”
“Because they think differently. Rather, if we don’t fight, we’ll see that there’s no dialogue.”
“Does the lack of conversation mean that things have gone bad?”
“Similar. Think of the first time you and I met. It was difficult to talk to them, and even if they did, it led to an argument. If we had a good relationship, we would have found a compromise sooner rather than later.”
Lesia was puzzled, but nodded slowly.
I wondered if it was difficult even though it was strangely acceptable.
In the meantime, I had learned about the common concept with humans, but there must have been a lot of things I still didn’t know.
“Um… After all, I must marry you.”
“It’s too much of a joke.”
“No one knows me as well as you. I know a lot about you too. There are many things I have dedicated and cared for for you so far. Wouldn’t this be fine?”
“after… Have I taught you wrong all this time?”
Enrite sighed deeply and gave a pitiful look.
Lesia was clearly aware of the concept of marriage.
Nonetheless, he showed a consistent attitude, occasionally talking nonsense.
“What did he say… ah! love escape. yes. let’s do that That way, you can get out of your notions.”
“Tell me why you have to run away from here.”
“reason? I’ll say the reason… … .”
Lesia seemed to purse her lips, but soon swallowed silence.
There was no reason to leave this mansion.
He was formally hired, paid a salary at regular intervals, and the given task was not difficult.
Above all, there could be no better environment than this, as you can eat food and snacks to your heart’s content.
“And why should I marry you?”
“Yeah… uh… Maybe you like me?”
“Now I’m starting to hate you more and more, what do you think?”
“That… Shouldn’t we work hard?”
“If you know, help quickly.”
Lesia reluctantly lifted the medicine box with a helpless expression on her face.
Enrite glared at Lecia for a while and belatedly started checking the amount of medicine.
‘It’s a marriage… If you’re a black person, a little… … .’

Regard family mansion, Shion and Harnette’s room.
Shion hasn’t left the mansion once since he was stripped of the title of Setinos Quasar.
If there were visitors, they contacted them by letter and made an appointment, and those who visited unscheduled were sent back without mercy.
In the meantime, he often walked around the courtyard and backyard, and practiced his swordsmanship at the gymnasium.
I couldn’t help but be disturbed by this situation, but I was able to relax just by being able to enjoy a peaceful future.
“I still don’t know. Should I have done that?”
Hannette looked out the window and opened her mouth slowly.
The orange-tinted sunset was slowly setting.
The sky accepted the color, and in a short time even the mansion was dyed.
After that sun goes down, it will rise again tomorrow, but even that seemed futile.
“I could be wrong. It might have worked out just fine if I stayed still.”
Shion answered calmly and tilted the teacup.
Of course, I had consulted with Hannett before using this method.
However, Hannette thought negatively, and only added that if she wanted to use it, try it in case of a crisis.
“Sigh… Don’t give in to my compulsion. You were right this time.”
Harnette was already facing reality.
The longer they dragged on, the more misunderstandings piled up, and they would put pressure on them in one form or another.
If you choose the king, the future will be uncertain, and if you choose the 3 princesses, you will be checked until the succession to the throne.
In the end, you have to choose one of the two, but either choice was bound to be risky.
“It doesn’t sound far-fetched. Maybe I was hasty.”
“no. I wasn’t in a hurry. If it was later, we would have lost money.”
Even though she knew that Shion’s decision was right, she couldn’t accept it in her heart.
From now on, you won’t get caught up in a power structure, and even if someone threatens you, the Duke of Adelaira or the Marquis of Reggiard will help you.
It didn’t matter what the title or fine of Setinos Quasar was, but it was just uncomfortable that Shion had to be a criminal.
“Sorry. I shouldn’t have become a Cetinos quasar… … .”
“Do not be sorry. You did nothing wrong.”
Harnette slowly stretched out her arms and grabbed Shion’s hand.
Shion accepts the hand and carefully touches it.
“Are titles that important? you can earn money again I can do anything with you.”
Wealth, position, honor, origin, family, connections, and achievements.
These are means to live happily, but cannot be the ultimate goal.
Zion worked tirelessly for perfect peace, and eventually achieved what it wanted.
He had suffered for a long time, so now he would have to take care of him and cherish him.
“I love you. i will love you until i die No, I can love you forever.”
Harnette murmured faintly, bringing a smile to her lips.
Orange hair mixes with the color of the setting sun, scattering brighter colors.
The golden eyes were full of sorrow and contained only the image of the companion.
“I love you too. I don’t think I can live a day without you.”
Shion got up from her seat and approached Hanette.
Then, slowly lowering his back, he dug deep.
Harnette put her hand on Shion’s back and kissed her lips.
Twilight crawled in at some point, but the two did not stop.
Rather, their desire for each other was burning hot, and the bed was getting closer little by little.
When darkness descended, only rough breathing and strange voices came out.

As one would expect from a Korean novel, the ending is never satisfying.
Good novel, a little dissatisfied with the ending but the story grabbed me from the beginning.
