Chapter 176
Roughly the board has been prepared, there are some points to take before digging a trap in earnest. First of all, Adelia stays at my house.
She’s my escort knight, but I can’t even guess that I’m Xenon. She has a crush on me so she just became an escort knight, but if she gets caught up in this mess, she’ll be pretty troubled.
Because of this, my father suggested that I rather disclose it to Adelia. She says Adelia isn’t light-hearted and her origins are questionable, but she can’t help it to go smoothly.
But it was my mother, not me, not Cecily, who firmly rejected it.
“No. You can’t tell Sir Cross that Isaac is Xenon.”
“why?”
My father asked with a puzzled expression because I was a mother who had been sitting still and listening to conversations. I, too, was puzzled.
The mother gently stroked Lily’s sleeping tummy and opened her mouth with her characteristic beautiful smile.
“Maybe there will come a day when Sir Cross will make an important choice. Even then, you can’t reveal that Isaac is Xenon.”
“Umm… I accept that you are. I’d like to tell you the reason separately later.”
“You will probably understand.”
In the end, except for Adelia, there was no choice but to sell the trap. However, her skills are outstanding as she has even served as an assistant professor at Halo Academy.
You don’t know when it’s time for the elves to break in without permission, and your senses are also very sensitive, so will you not notice?
My father was also concerned about that, so he opened his mouth as if he was a bit embarrassed.
“Especially Sir Cross, who doesn’t know what he’s been through in the past, he’s exceptionally sensitive. Even when he’s been training up to now, he’s intuitively aware of where I’m going to attack.”
“You know everything?”
“Yeah. You said that your body automatically issues warnings in your own words. It would be difficult with some experience to awaken such a sense, but I don’t know where you learned it.”
“… …”
Maybe it has something to do with the past? Since I was not properly recognized as a member of the royal family and lived in the royal palace, I must have received all kinds of persecution.
In severe cases, he may have even received an assassination attempt. It’s not an impossible story, given the insults Adelia received from her brothers.
“Anyway, it means you have to work without Sir Cross noticing it… It’s not as easy as it sounds.”
“Father-in-law. Can’t I just put him to sleep with sleep magic?”
“Is that so?”
“It’s not impossible.”
“haha.”
When things were handled easier than expected, my father burst into laughter with frustration. As he always thinks, the magic is playing the role of scratching the itch.
“Okay. So the problem with Sir Cross is solved. All we have to do is inform our employees that there has been a thief.”
“But doesn’t it matter when they come? When does your father-in-law expect them to come?”
“First of all, it’s going to take some time because my friend deliberately twisted the wires. If you catch enough, it’ll be three days, or tonight at the earliest.”
I’ll be here tonight. A week ago, Mora personally informed me of what was going to happen at night. And today is that day.
There is still a lot of time until night comes, but there is a bit of a rush to dig the trap. Better to hurry.
“Okay. Then, let’s dig the trap first. Wait a minute.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have something to bring from my room.”
As you might expect, it is the summoning place of Siris. I’ve already told you everything, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I introduced Siris.
When I got up, Cecily tried to get up too, but he stopped me right away. It will take you to the room anyway, so you don’t have to follow me as it won’t take long.
Instead, he handed Cecily a favor.
“Oh, noona. Could you please join Gartz-san in this work too? The more people, the better.”
“Sir Ballak is currently on probation. The reason… you know?”
“… …”
Poor Gartz. The fortunate thing is that he got his autograph back. If it wasn’t for that, I’d be very depressed.
I smiled bitterly and headed to my room to get the summons. It was the first time I went to my room because I met my father as soon as I arrived.
“what?”
“yes?”
Then, as soon as I turned the corner, I ran into Adelia. As if she had just washed up, she was gently brushing off any remaining wet brown hair.
She blinked her blue eyes at first, then started to grow bigger and bigger. It’s a reaction that I never thought I’d be here.
“What? Didn’t you go to Helium?”
“I just came back. It’s a bit like staying in the helium all the time. You have to look at your face in between. But did you just wash?”
“After training, I need to wash up. But…”
Adelia stared at me in the face and tilted her head to the side. He must have seen her hair that grew longer in that short time.
“Your hair… I think it’s a little long?”
“There are circumstances. I think I will have to go like this for a while. Even if I cut it, it will become longer again.”
“Yeah? It’s surprisingly good.”
Adelia was stroking her chin and thinking deeply about something. Time was not urgent, so she waited quietly.
But what she was thinking, her face gradually started to turn red. As she tilted her head to him and questioned her, she asked Adelia quietly, coughing out of the blue.
“Hmm. That… cutie, do you like long hair?”
“Huh? Suddenly?”
“No, I’m just… I’m asking because I’m curious. Marie and the Demon Princess have long hair as well.”
I listened to Adelia and remembered the hairstyles of Marie and Cecily. Although there is a slight difference between the two, their hair is quite long. In particular, Cecily’s hair is long enough to reach her hips.
Besides, now that my hair is too long, Adelia can make that kind of mistake. However, the original version is so pretty that it goes well with any style.
To be honest, whether short hair or long hair is just as pretty as the two mentioned above.
“Anyway? I just say that if I like it, I like it?”
“That’s right. How about me? Are you okay?”
“My sister is the best now.”
It’s not empty words, it’s the truth. Impressive beauty with wavy brown short hair and a sharp nose. Finally, a husky voice.
It can be said that now is the prettiest because it reveals the energetic Adelia. Growing her hair here only halves the charm of her Adelia.
“…thank you. I’m embarrassed to hear that.”
Adelia listened to the sincere praise and twisted her hair with her fingers. Contrary to her usual appearance, seeing her shy, she exudes a different charm.
When I saw it, I burst into laughter. Tea is too bad for me. Even a person who ate a lot of nun would notice that I have a crush on me.
However, Adelaide herself is completely unaware of that fact. Is it because this is the first time this has happened, or is it really like that?
“Are you… going back to Helium?”
“Yeah. If you hold it long, it will stay for about a week.”
“I hope so. It’s boring because we don’t have a cutie.”
“Anyway, when vacation is over and I go back to the academy, I’ll stick around the whole time. Anyway, I’ll just leave.
“Yeah. I’ll work hard.”
Adelia gently moved away from her seat and waved her hand. She waved her hand as I walked towards her room.
And after walking, I turned around and saw her standing still, waving her hand. With a smile full of confidence on her face.
It really makes me sad every time I see it. It has been said since ancient times that unrequited love is a heartbreaking law.

Even knowing that my unrequited love has two lovers and seeing him keep it, I feel sorry for everything. But it is not easy to accept.
To fully accept her, you have to go through a complicated process. What choice will Adelia make at the end of the process?
It could be a story in the distant future, or maybe it will happen soon, but it doesn’t change that she has to choose.
I just hope you can make a wise choice.
*****
I brought the summon paper from the room and tore it up without delay. My family watched with interest as I tore the summons in half and waited.
About 30 seconds passed by then. The summon paper, torn in half, was engulfed in blue flames, then turned to ashes and scattered into the air.
After that, a magic circle appeared on the floor, emitting a blue light, and slowly someone started to appear.
“Did you call?”
Now the familiar voice of a woman. Siris, a dark elf known for not appearing in the world, appeared in front of us. Her outfit was still revealing armor.
When the dark elves appeared, my father responded with a smirk, and Cecily and mother were watching silently.
I scratched my head at the armor Siris was wearing. I don’t know when the two of us were together, but now that I’m with my family, I was embarrassed.
“I’ll introduce you. As I explained a little while ago, I’m Siris, the Dark Elf who connects me and the Queen. Even within the Dark Elves, I’m pretty good at it.”
“… …”
Siris looked at me with a complex expression while introducing myself instead. She’s been keeping a secret until now, but it’s like she was summoned out of nowhere in front of her family.
But it didn’t take long for her expression to change. When I explained all her circumstances, she nodded as if in agreement.
“It’s happened. First of all, I’ll say hi. My name is Siris Lunatic. As you may have heard, I’m currently working as an errand man for committing a crime against Isaac.”
“…Call me Hawk Ducker Michelle. He’s Isaac’s father.”
“My name is Anna Ducker Michelle. Please take care of me.”
When Siris introduced them politely, the father trembled, and the mother smiled warmly, and each finished the introduction. Still, the awkward atmosphere did not go away.
As I was about to open my mouth to rouse the atmosphere in a hurry, I asked Siris in a voice asking about my father.
“I said, like before, I was an errand man, but how long do you have a contract with?”
“Until Ajak-nim goes to Mora-nim’s side. It will be at least 50 years.”
“… …”
As soon as I heard Siris’ answer, my parents turned their gaze to me, regardless of who came first. Are you together as one? There was a deep suspicion that
I was taken aback for a moment, but I quickly realized what they were suspicious of. A beautiful woman like Siris claimed to be acting as an errand, so it must have been a strange imagination.
He shook his head vigorously to clear up the misunderstanding and said hurriedly.
“Not like that. Again, I’m not a slave, I’m an errand.”
“Hmm… I see. By the way, dark elf, it’s the first time I’ve seen it, so it’s amazing.”
“Is your father a first-time Dark Elf?”
“Because I was active in the border area. It’s safe to say that I have very little contact with Dark Elves.
Father looked at Siris with deep curiosity. However, she had no choice but to focus her gaze on a harsh place because Siris’s outfit was her attire.
Of course, whenever that happened, the mother prevented it by placing her hand on the father’s thigh. When she did, her father had a force to pinch her thighs, and even her father burst into laughter.
“Anyway, Sir Siris.”
“Yes, Sir Isaac.”
“You may have heard why I called Mr. Siris, but sooner or later, the Senate’s entourage will come to our mansion. I hope Mr. Siris and Arwen help.
“I’ll ask you one more time.”
Siris left only those words and immediately teleported. About 30 minutes passed after that, and she came back while we set up our plan step by step.
“The Queen readily accepted. But she said that she could not help directly.”
“It’s okay. Arwen is enough as long as you finish it well.”
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Siris… Yes. Please tell me where the elves are in real time. Father, since the elves said they were tracking them, do you know where they are?”
“I’ll give you a rough map. It’ll probably be around here.”
The planning process went smoothly. There are two manpower who are well versed in magic, and they have enough force to subdue the elves. Communication is also absolutely impossible due to the distance between the Michelle estate and Albenheim.
Of course, we did not forget to take into account possible variables. In particular, the mother is not alone, so someone must protect her just in case.
I don’t think elves will take hostages, but things don’t go as they please in the world. If something happens to Lily because she’s over-stressed, that’s when it gets really bad.
“Then I’ll protect Anna. It’s enough to subdue Mr. Hawk and Princess Cecily.”
“Thank you. I’m sorry for the inconvenience even if it’s the first time I met you.”
Fortunately, Siris was able to protect her mother and blocked all variables. Even if she does a surprise attack, she will be cleaned up in line with the elf Yeodo Cecily and her father.
After that, we thoroughly inspected and inspected if there were any missing parts. As time is short, attentiveness is not an option, it is a necessity.
When everything was finally ready, I checked the time.
The current time is exactly 6 o’clock. Now it’s time for a quick dinner.
“Shall we finish this soon? We’ll eat dinner first and check it again.”
“That’s right. How about Siris?”
“I don’t mind eating. For now, the priority is to understand the dynamics.”
Siris didn’t settle for dinner and went out of the mansion to trace back. All you have to do is follow the map that her father drew her randomly, and she will give you the news sooner or later.
After that, by the evening, after everything was settled and the plans were reorganized, each went back to their bedrooms. I didn’t forget to put the draft on my desk on purpose.
We can just wait for the news from Siris like this, but…
“no.”
“Why? Are you really sure the elves are coming tonight?”
“I don’t know, but there is such a thing as if. So, wear it again.”
“Shit.”
Cecily pulled back the laces of her half-naked evening dress at my resolute point. Her lips are raised as if she’s squinted.
As Mora once said, if you don’t want to face shameful situations, you should avoid having an affair tonight. By nightfall, she could see why.
But being ashamed is also shameful, but I hate to show Cecily’s insides to others.
“By the way, Isaac.”
“yes?”
“You said you’re spreading the news that you’re breaking your hands, so you’re taking a break from serialization for a while?”
Cecily, dressed in her evening dress, asked with a questioning expression. Actually, that’s a concern.
Of course, if I hurt my hand, I should take a break from the serialization, but my hands are itchy, so I don’t think I’ll be writing the manuscript without my knowledge.
Also, if you lied that it was fixed in the temple, the serialization itself would not be a problem.
It’s going to happen in between, but it’s not my thing.
“I’ll probably take a month off. In the meantime, I’d like to find the person who injured my hand like this.”
“Now that we even bluffed, our Isaac has grown a lot.”
Cecily gently stroked my hair as if proudly. She didn’t like being treated like a child, but she felt good, so she passed on it.
‘You bastards. Wherever you go, take a look.’
I’m really looking forward to tonight.
Let’s kick those old bastards ass!
