Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 157

Prison Freedom - 4

Prison Freedom – 4

Splendid dishes began to appear on the table one by one for lunch. There are quite a few of these. Did he care because he was a guest, or did the head of section 1 enjoy a splendid meal?

Of course, it seems to be the former when you see that the head of section 1 usually goes to work with only one loaf of bread.

“Isn’t that too much?”

“Not at all. My father will scold me if I invite guests and neglect them.”

Yes, the former is correct. It’s a little strange that he notices other people.

Still, it’s a happy thing for the marquis. The fact that Section 1 is worried about being scolded by the Marquis means that he respects and considers the Marquis as a superior or a family member.

‘It’s fortunate.’

The Marquis of Iones, the father of Section 1. He has no special ties other than what I saw last year and this year at the New Year’s ceremonies, but he is one of the people I personally feel sorry for.

That the 1st section manager is a daughter, how much she suffers heartache. Legend has it that even when the head of Section 1 committed himself to the Inspection Department, he fiercely opposed it. The result looks like this.

“He looks a bit immature and erratic, but he’s considerate and kind. Please take good care of me.”

“Ah, yes. I see.”

Maybe that’s why Marquis Iones held my hand at every New Year’s ceremony and begged me with earnest eyes… No, I asked for it. Please take good care of her daughter.

In the meantime, her daughter said something incomprehensible, perhaps because she is a father who only looks pretty. Thoughtful? Silver? Line? Good?

Still, in that situation, he did not commit the atrocities of refuting with facts. The Marquis’ eyes were so sad and sad.

‘I’m glad…’

Perhaps even Section 1 knows the feelings of such a father, and he is reluctant to be scolded by the Marquis. Marquis, are you watching? Your love is not wrong

“Chief, would you like an aperitif?”

Chief 1’s words broke my thoughts. I lost my mind for a while at the table.

When I turned my gaze, I saw Section 1 holding a bottle in each hand. One red wine, one white wine.

“To white.”

“In white?”

I chose it lightly, but seeing the 1st section chief smirking, I felt uneasy. Did you take any medicine over there?

“It’s just red—”

“Here, here!”

He handed me a glass of white wine before I could even soften it.

“Think of me and eat all the time!”

I haven’t even drank yet, so why is it that I’ve inhaled three or four bottles?

I saw the head of section 1. It is white. I turned my gaze to the glass. It’s called white wine, but it’s not really white.

‘Damn it.’

But maybe it was because I was told to think of myself as myself, so it overlapped with the head of Section 1.

He’s learned to not only torture the body, but also attack the mind…

“White is pretty too, right?”

“…Yes.”

He just nodded at the sight of him still smirking. If you overreact here, you’ll be teased even more. Let’s not get provoked, let’s just eat normally and go home.

“The manager is blessed to have white, prettier than anyone else, next to him!”

I couldn’t bear to show any reaction to the confidence that made me feel ashamed.

The meal time itself passed smoothly. In the middle, the chief of section 1 said strange things, but that’s normal. Because Section 1 rarely speaks normal words.

“Black goes well with red, but I think it goes well with white too.”

Still, I don’t really know what this means. Even I, who instantly thought of Coke, seasoned chicken, and chicken radish, is not normal.

Anyway, the head of department 1, who said something out of the blue, committed an atrocity by serving red and white wine in the same glass.

“No, why mix that up!”

“It suits you well!”

I really don’t know what that means. You probably won’t understand forever.

Remembering the innovation of half-and-half wine, I let out a sigh, and the person across the communication port opened its mouth.

– Carl is a good boss, so he doesn’t hesitate.

“There seems to be a difference between a good boss and an easy boss.”

At those words, Jeon Seung-gong burst into laughter. Yeah, I hope that person had fun for a while. I’m satisfied with that…

Jeon Seung-gong, who burst into laughter for a while, caught his breath and continued.

– I was still worried, so I contacted you, but I’m glad it doesn’t seem like a big deal.

“If something happens, I will contact you first without worrying about it.”

– You’re welcome.

Seeing Jeon Seung-gong smile again, I smiled too. It seems that the lonely heart is warmed by the discipline.

When I returned to my office after eating, I suddenly got a call from the telecommunications office. When I received it, I was a little surprised that it was a success story.

– Carl. I don’t think Carl would have done it for no reason. What must have happened.

As soon as I got the call, I was very surprised by what he said. It was something like a teacher admonishing a delinquent student.

Of course, there were hints. Since he came to Jedo after achieving the legendary feat of assaulting the royal family, the news must have reached the ears of the Jeon Seung-gong.

By the way, isn’t the assault on the royal family not an act of delinquency, but a level of treason? I was moved by the words that counted that there must have been circumstances even though it was such a thing.

“…So it happened.”

So, with tears in my eyes, I explained in detail. If he knew the details, he wouldn’t have said the matter.

And it hurt my heart when Jeon Seung-gong, who heard the inside story, showed himself holding back his laughter. It’s better to laugh openly, it’s more miserable to be cared for.

Perhaps he knew that kind of heart, Jeon Seung-gong quickly changed the subject, and while talking about the current situation, he even talked about having a meal with Section 1. Thanks to that, I even explained the strange combination of red and white.

It’s embarrassing to talk about a subordinate’s eccentricity in front of the Jeon Seung-gong, but it’s better than receiving heartbreaking consideration.

‘Is it better?’

I am confused myself.

– Anyway, that kid follows Carl, so that’s probably why. Don’t be too upset.

“Yes, I understand.”

I nodded my head at the words of Jeon Seung-gong, who had overcome his serious worries by himself.

To be honest, I’ve come too far to be upset with section 1 over this. He was surprised to see him playing around with his food all of a sudden, isn’t it strange?

Even if you’re really upset, you can’t show off in front of a legend. Unfortunately, from the point of view of Jeon Seung-gong, Section 1 is his daughter’s close sister.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Every time something new and surprising. The Crown Prince and the 1st section chief are close seniors and juniors… I know Jeon Seung-gong too… I’m dizzy, really.

***

After talking for a while, he cut off communication with Carl. He held on too long to speak briefly. Won.

I’m glad though. When he heard from His Highness the Crown Prince that Carl had been disciplined for assaulting the royal family, he wondered what the hell was going on. That child is not a thoughtless child to the extent of causing such a major accident.

After hearing from the person concerned, it was just an injury that occurred during an academy event. Then it’s not an assault, it’s just an unfortunate accident. Although it could be forced into assault by the royal family, there was no reason for His Highness the Crown Prince to attack Carl.

‘Isn’t it fate to be quiet?’

I laughed involuntarily. Ever since he became the head of the Inspection Department, he’s been the center of a lot of trouble, but he never thought he’d get caught up in things like this even when he went to the academy. No, you didn’t get caught up in it, did you cause it?

After giggling a few times like that, I manipulated the communication tool. I’ve confirmed Carl’s safety, so I need to take care of other business.

– Father?

“Her Highness the Crown Princess.”

As soon as Arya got the call, she immediately lowered her head.

-When she’s private, she just asks me to call her Aria.

I laughed again as I glared at her pouty face. Even after time passes, how can she remain unchanged from when she was young?

“How would you do that to the one who will become the mother of all people?”

– I’ll hang up.

“I’m sorry. I’ve come to know as you asked, so please forgive me.”

Then, Aria’s complexion brightened. It’s not her job, so would it be okay?

“Karl seems to think of you as just a subordinate.”

– That’s what I expected.

Despite the bad news from her, Arya was calm. Like she herself said, is it because it’s an expected level?

– That’s what Eri does. She would have just been messing around on the sidelines and raising the pills, but it’s good if she doesn’t hate me.

This is a harsh evaluation. She is normally a quiet-talking child, but strangely, she is unstoppable towards Lady Erzebeth.

Still, didn’t she ask me to try out the knife because it was a request from Lady Erzebet? He may only speak harshly, but his feelings for Lady Elizabeth are sincere.

“But you don’t seem to hate it. Carl-kun is the type to ignore or get rid of things if he really doesn’t like them.”

To Karl-kun, Lady Elizabeth is more of a subordinate than a member of the opposite sex. Still, it’s because we’ve been together for a while, so I’m in a situation where I like it.

If Karl-kun hears it, he’ll shudder and deny it. However, it is correct from the perspective of the third person, so what can I do? Karl-kun doesn’t put people he really hates around. Rather, the fact that they keep sticking together even though they often bump into each other is proof of their liking.

– Is that so? Eri would love to hear it.

I said it bluntly, but I couldn’t hide the slightly raised corners of my mouth.

Maybe it’s because she’s the younger sister I’ve been close to since the academy. She didn’t know that she would even go out with her sister’s love affair.

‘It must be a lot of hard work.’

Karl-kun is barely opening his heart and is approaching Princess Marghetta. Princess Marghetta said she liked Carl a long time ago, so she’ll get good results soon.

And when the results come out, it’s time for Lady Elizabeth to step forward. I think Carl-kun would be quite embarrassed.

‘It’s a matter for Carl-kun to take care of himself.’

If Lady Elizabeth was aiming for Carl’s first wife, Arya’s request wouldn’t have moved. I know that the Iron-Blooded Worker cares for Princess Marghetta, but how could he do that?

But if you’re after Princess Marghetta, it’s none of my concern. She doesn’t have to step out and help, but she’s not to the point of refusing Arya’s request.

– Thanks, father.

I was satisfied with Aria’s smile.
