After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me chapter 111

111 – Rather good

The street walking to Sylvia’s office.

A cold wind blew from her.

‘Am I back in the North?’

Ian stroked her arm.

Her coldness made her think for a moment that she had returned to the North.

Silvia’s office arrived like that.

“Please sit here.”

Now I can feel the temperature dropping.

As she sat down in her seat, Ian swallowed her dry saliva.

Because she felt like she was sitting in an interrogation room.

Sylvia straightened her pale golden eyebrows and her purple eyes and opened her mouth.

“When did you return to Liechten?”

“Today.”

“You went straight to the library?”

“…I have a question.”

Ttogak.

Sylvia, who was sitting on her desk, looked down at her Ian calmly.

“Hmm.”

In fact, she was a little upset.

Every time she heard news of Ian, who had gone to the North, it made her anxious and kept her up at night. When the princess went to the north in a hurry, her mouth was completely burned.

Some people are stomping their feet, waiting for Ian, but Ian runs to the library in a hurry.

No matter how rational Sylvie was, her lips couldn’t help but stick out.

“I went to the library, but I guess what I was curious about wasn’t the books, but the librarian. I wasn’t even looking at the books, I was just standing there looking at the librarian.”

Inaudible self-talk.

Meanwhile, Ian was just staring blankly at Sylvia’s toes as she crossed her legs.

This is a fluffy fur shoe with a pretty cute character drawn on it.

‘Why is Sylvia wearing those things?’

Ian looks at Sylvia’s feet and is lost in her thoughts.

Because her appearance seemed to be reflecting, Sylvia’s voice softened somewhat.

“Hmph. Then what is your relationship with the librarian?”

“Librarian?”

“Yes.”

“There’s no relationship at all?”

An immediate answer without hesitation.

Sylvia twisted her hair.

This is because she has already calmed down a bit.

No. Rather, she was at a stage where she suddenly became embarrassed and wondered why she was like this.

“Keuhum!”

She was Sylvia, who had already let go of a lot of her anger, but she still had something to address. Sylvia, who had come to her senses, continued her interrogation.

“Actually, Ian’s story about her activities in the North is spreading all over the place.”

“Already?”

“Yes. There are no articles about whether it is still controlled by the empire, but rumors are spreading. It is quite shocking that the Northern Grand Duke was a shale bridge. It is bound to spread quickly.”

“Hmm.”

“Furthermore, the person who defeated the Northern Archduke was a cadet from the Lichten Academy. I can only say that it is truly amazing.”

“I see.”

“You really did a great job, Ian.”

Ian did not answer.

This is because Sylvia’s smiling expression was somehow cold.

‘I don’t think it’s a compliment.’

Sarr.

Silvia’s mouth opened.

“So I completely understand.”

“…?”

“Now that you’ve become famous, you don’t want to be the successor to Laurent.”

Smile.

Her smile is cold.

The crisp air tightens around her as if it were oppressive.

Ian swallowed her saliva.

What Sylvia said made sense.

There are many things she helped me with in one way or another. She even asked him to do something for her before she went to the North.

‘I should have bought you a gift.’

Yes.

This is like a situation where you left work to the same team member and went on an overseas trip.

The problem is that they came empty-handed, and even saying hello was the worst thing they did first.

“……”

It was only then that I realized that there was a crisis.

A ray of cold sweat ran down Ian’s forehead.

In the midst of a sense of crisis, Ian’s brain began to spin at an incredible speed.

In that way, Ian instinctively put a sentence into her mouth that would help her get out of this situation.

“Thank you for your concern, Sylvia.”

In part, it stimulates her shyness.

Then here, Sylvia says, ‘Well, I wasn’t worried!’ I will answer that. Just like that, she counters with ‘I thought you’d be worried though’ and she finds her clue to end this conversation.

Customized strategy that can be put forward because you know Sylvia.

But Ian’s dark plan was shattered by Sylvia’s direct ball.

Silvia declared in tears.

“I was worried!”

“…?”

“I was worried! Fighting a high-ranking noble… Not an ordinary noble at all, but the Grand Duke of the North… I couldn’t sleep because I was so worried…”

Ian stood in front of Sylvia, biting her lip lightly.

After she became possessed here.

It was the first time I felt someone was so sincerely concerned about me behind my back.

Silvia looks up at us, but this time, the corners of her eyes are sadly bent downward.

The teardrops hanging from her eyes shone beautifully.

Taking it out, Ian spoke with her sincerity.

“Thank you for your concern, Sylvia.”

“…!”

But the sincerity will not be conveyed properly?

Silvia’s face suddenly turned red.

She blinked, closed her eyes tightly, and cried out.

“Ho, I was worried that I might lose my partner!”

Pavat.

Sylvia got up from her desk, lowered her head, and sat down in her swivel chair.

“Huh!”

She let out a snoring sound and turned away.

After squirming like that for a few minutes, Sylvia turned around and sat down again, her face as calm and rational as usual.

“Hmm. Rather than that, it’s the main point.”

“… Wasn’t that the main point earlier? That you were worried about me.”

“No!”

Sylvia, who was excited, cleared her throat and regained her senses.

“The church will probably give you a reward soon. It will be a pretty big reward. I think it will probably be at least the rank of cardinal.”

“At church? But I’m not even a believer?”

Sylvia nodded her head.

“That’s the point. To make you look like a Deusian believer.”

Sylvia explained to Ian, who had a questioning look on his face.

“While Ian was in the North, several bad rumors were widely circulated about the candidate for sainthood. The church covered her up and the process of dealing with the rumors was somewhat coercive. Thanks to this, the church’s image was improved. “It was quite damaged. Because of the use of the Inquisition, a conflict arose between the Empire and the Liechten Autonomous Government.”

In short, the relationship between the continent’s main religion, the Deus Church, and the empire is gradually cracking.

“In such a situation, Ian killed Richard, who was a Shame cultist and the Grand Duke of the North. If the church took Ian into their arms, they would be able to use the fact that Richard was the Grand Duke of the North to wage a war of public opinion against the Empire, and on the contrary, the Empire In the case of , we can defend against such a public opinion war and conversely criticize the denomination that failed to properly track the Shaleam Church.”

It was complicated, but the summary was simple.

“So, it’s a competition between the empire and the church. How much can we capture Ian’s heart?”

Silvia took a deep breath and emphasized.

“It means that considerable compensation will be waiting for Mr. Ian.”

Gulp.

Ian swallowed.

It is not because of greed.

It was because of tension.

Larger rewards?

Of course, it is good if there are a lot of rewards.

But I couldn’t just laugh.

The fact that the environment surrounding oneself has grown means that the risk of being exposed to strong enemies has increased.

“Surprisingly, you don’t like it that much, do you?”

“That’s right, it also means that the church and the empire wouldn’t have brought such great rewards.”

“That’s right. If it were them, they would have done their best to quietly bury the Richard incident.”

“That means there will definitely be forces within each person opposing excessive compensation.”

“… That’s sharp.”

The conflict between the two increased the amount of compensation Ian could receive. But at the same time, risks have also increased.

When receiving rewards from each faction, you have to consider the opinions of the other party, and even the opinions of opponents within that faction.

It was like being caught in the middle of a political fight.

‘… No. ‘Isn’t it rather bad?’

After thinking about it carefully, I think that the risk increases, but at the same time, greater rewards can be obtained.

This is not just a story about ordinary compensation.

Hidden pieces that can only be obtained if you are involved with a religious order or the imperial family.

I might be able to get a chance to access it.

‘…It might actually be good.’

Anyway.

Ian slowly began to feel chills.

“Isn’t it a little cold?”

At first, I thought it was cold because of Sylvia’s mood, but no.

This office is really cool.

Silvia’s outfit was definitely strange as well.

She was always dressed in stylish, fluffy clothes.

“Sylvia, your clothing style is a bit different than usual.”

Let’s look at her intently, and she embraces her upper body as if someone had caught her naked body.

“Don’t look too much.”

“Huh?”

“I didn’t want to show myself like this.”

And then she desperately hides herself under her desk.

… Hmm.

“I’m sorry. I’m embarrassed.”

It’s cute.

The gap with the usual Sylvia is no joke.

Is it like dressing a sophisticated noblewoman in animal pajamas?

Now that I think about it, I think it would look good in animal pajamas?

A type with cat ears to match her image, or a cute type like a rabbit to aim for the gap, would also look good.

‘I’ll try giving a gift later.’

For now, let’s leave this as just wishful thinking.

Ian shook her head, shaking her out of her daze.

Despite Sylvia’s cuteness, the fact that that noble lady was wearing clothes like that meant she was in a pretty serious situation.

Silvia’s obsession with fashion is part of her branding strategy. It means that you are cornered to the point of giving up.

“What’s going on?”

“Re, because of Raymond Sangang. Because the Liechten Autonomous Government is trying to increase its influence in Liechten by taking advantage of the chaos.”

Worry fell into Sylvia’s eyes.

“… I don’t have any money to fight with them. Every penny of liquid capital is important, so I’m saving it. In effect, a capital fight has broken out.”

Well.

In terms of capital, Emilia’s Raymond Sangdan will overwhelm Silvia’s Laurent Sangdan.

Anyway, it’s money.

A fact that Ian had completely forgotten came to mind.

“Oh, that’s right, stocks.”

Clearly, due to the Mana runaway on the Northern Mountain Train, the timing should have been perfect for Ecomana.

But.

Silvia’s face was colored with contemplation.

“What? What happened?”

“That… That.”
