690 – The Ordeal (2)
Would there have been happy days like this? Going around with Kate made Cherry feel that way.
While wandering around the side of Isaac, whom I usually admire, I was able to expand my exchanges with people around me, and furthermore, I was able to write a story about him.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a bit strange that it has a somewhat religious tinge to it. Because it was an explanation of Isaac.
As a result, he had no choice but to neglect the academy and applied for a leave of absence. The deadline is until the ‘Bible’ is completely written.
I didn’t have much trouble because the family had told me about it. When he said it was to conceive of his next project, he respected it.
This would have been unimaginable in the past. Her father, Count Leticia, had once trampled on her dreams in the past.
But now it’s different. Her conversation with Isaac must have changed her mind, and she began to respect her dream.
Thanks to that, she was able to write comfortably along with Kate, and it seemed that her world was beautifully dyed in pink as she was doing her favorite things at the same time.
“However, is it okay for someone like me to get close to you…?”
However, connecting with Isaac is another matter. I am happy enough right now, but wishing for greater happiness is over-enthusiasm.
This is what she realized when her dreams were trampled on by Count Leticia. Then she had the courage and spoke confidently, and what was the result.
That’s why it is buried in her heart. Let’s just watch from afar, holding her heart for her Isaac in her heart.
It makes me happy just to see Isaac smiling, and isn’t there a lot of women by his side?
She’s not good at anything other than writing, so it’s not a place she can fit in.
“Cherry is enough. Even Isaac said he would be willing to accept a cherry if he had the courage.”
“··· ···”
“Why don’t you gather up the courage just once? You can’t live with that heart forever.”
Kate, too, was able to realize what a sick person she was during her sincere discussions with Cherry.
At first, she thought she was a good friend. There was no problem with Cherry’s unique dark side.
However, as she listens to Isaac’s advice and digs into details, she has a more bleak past than expected.
If Isaac hadn’t saved him, he would have been so dangerous that he would have taken his own life long ago.
Fortunately, I found it early and even revived my dream, but it was no different that it was dangerous.
“······I don’t want to be sick anymore.”
“Cherry.”
“Senpai-nim is fine, but other people might hate it… If that happens, you’ll be in trouble… And then again…”
Isaac’s complicated relationship with a woman caught up with Cherry. That’s enough work.
Originally, the more complicated the relationship with a woman, the more active the love affair. It’s not often that they get along well with each other.
But there is one fact that Cherry doesn’t know. Kate tilted her head and said in a puzzled voice.
From noble mtl dot com
“Why do you think other people hate cherries?”
“I’m not good at anything…?”
“It’s not a matter of good or bad. Cherry has already fulfilled Isaac’s wishes.”
“Am I…?”
Cherry blinked slowly at Kate’s words. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what it is.
Kate saw this as an opportunity. I’ll be able to convince Cherry perfectly if I hit it here.
She spoke softly with her characteristic benign smile.
“Speak up. Don’t be silent.”
“That’s…”
“That’s one of the tenets Isaac emphasizes.”
Cherry knows too. Because Kate told me everything that happened in Starbirk.
I also know that it was all Kate’s plan. She had told Cherry something she hadn’t told Isaac either.
Of course, Cherry wasn’t particularly surprised and just recorded it. It is her heart that she wants to write everything related to Isaac.
“Cherry fit the criteria perfectly. She was unfortunately frustrated once, but she plucked up the courage to pursue her dream.”
“··· ···”
I think I know what you mean. It must have been when Cherry revealed her dream by handing her manuscript to her father, Earl Letish.
Although that courage was futile and returned with hopeless results, it was in line with Isaac’s doctrine (?).
“Perhaps Isaac had been preparing to accept Cherry since then. It was just Cherry being too sick to wait.”
“Wait… You were there…?”
No. Isaac saved it is an undeniable fact, but accepting it is another thing.
She revealed her identity in order to save one person, fearing that she would return as a really cold corpse.
After that, she recognized her talent and fully supported her, and even broke Count Leticia’s stubbornness.
Should I say that the saint is the propagator, or should I call it a novel created by misunderstanding and misunderstanding?
Kate’s persuasion and eloquence were as good as Isaac’s. Maybe she’s even more frightened because she truly believes.
“Yes. Also, did Isaac’s lovers ever check or intimidate Cherry?”
“··· ···”
“Probably not. They would have been nicer.”
That’s right. Every time Cherry visited Isaac’s mansion, he was welcomed, as well as by his women.
Is this a common affair? There was none of that. On the contrary, they are good friends with each other and are tightly united around Isaac.
They always took care of her deeply scarred Cherry and treated her like a little sister. Cherry was also able to ease her mind a little with the kind people.
That’s why she thought that she shouldn’t be close to Isaac. Could this relationship be ruined because of her?
Kate also hurried to see if she had read that thought, and she called Cherry.
“Cherry.”
“Yes…?”
“Isaac decided to accept it, too. Others agreed.”
Cherry blinked slowly at her confession, not Kate’s.
Then Kate cautiously reached out for hers and took Cherry’s hand. It’s a really soft hand.
“You just have to speak up one more time. I’ll be there to help.”
“Still…”
“You might think it’s greed, but it’s not at all. Cherry deserves to be loved.”
Is it because of the persuasion of Kate, who is a cardinal even though she is an unlikely friend?
Traces of her worries were deeply engraved in Cherry’s eyes. Her low self-esteem is still holding her back.
This is where we need the final blow. Kate delivered her final blow while maintaining her gentle smile.
“If Cherry refuses, I will not be favored by Isaac either.”
“Yes, yes…?”
“As you know, I want to receive grace from Isaac. The day will come soon.”
This is a way to take advantage of Cherry’s low self-esteem. This would work better than her persuasion.
As expected. As expected, her cherry was greatly confused. If she refuses, it distances her from her best friend, Kate.
I don’t like that. But if she accepts, she must reveal her heart to Isaac.
“I, I am…”
“As I said earlier, Isaac is waiting for Cherry. If only Cherry could speak, he would have a happier life than ever before.”
“Happy······ Life······”
“Yes. A happy life. What kind of life does Cherry want to live?”
At Kate’s question, Cherry imagined. A life where you can watch Isaac from a distance, not from afar.
I want to watch him eat, watch him write, watch him love.
It’s just that the distance is a bit closer, but that doesn’t matter. Because this alone was the happiest life in the world for Cherry.
To do that, you have to raise your voice. Cherry stayed silent for a moment, then quietly opened her mouth.
“······Are you really okay?”
As soon as Kate heard that question, she let out joy in herself. But she doesn’t show it on the outside and just smiles mildly.
It’s not long before she passes her first ordeal. She said holding Cherry’s hand with both hands.
“Yes. It’s okay. Cherry will be well received.”
“Didn’t I say I was blessed…?”
“Oh.”
Kate was terribly sorry. Come to think of it, the grace she thinks of and the grace she thinks of Cherry are very different.
If you make a mistake, you may return to the starting point. Kate pondered a bit before she quietly brought out her truth.
“Actually, that’s where I misunderstood. What grace is…”
Kate revealed the identity of ‘Eunhye’ with a shy face. She explained all the misunderstandings she caused.
Cherry exclaimed as if she had realized something while listening to the explanation in silence.
“Sex?”
She followed, and she bluntly said what the grace was. Kate’s face grew redder at the truly obscene choice of words.
On the other hand, Cherry looked convinced. In the meantime, Kate fanned her hand and came up with an excuse that wasn’t an excuse.
“Yes. A man and a woman connect with each other… It’s a sacred act. Do you have any objection?”
“No. Just…”
Her family had scabs in her ears about her chastity. Sex is something that must be done with a partner.
Isaac is married, but she can enter as a concubine. So, it doesn’t really matter.
Just being able to get closer to Isaac through a relationship. This is the most important.
“If that’s the case… I can get closer to you, right?”
“Of course. Cherry is enough…”
Kate paused her words and glanced under her. Cherry’s breasts, which can only be said to be overwhelming, caught her eye.
If it is that weapon(?), It will remain loved. Maybe Isaac will keep looking for cherries.
She makes even herself, the same woman, bruise. Thanks to her, she gained more confidence.
“······You will be loved enough. I promise you.”
“Still… The family may oppose it…”
“Ah. Don’t worry about that. I can fix it.”
Honestly, you probably don’t need to persuade me. Who will stop Isaac’s choice?
“I’ll make it happen.”
Kate said firmly, holding her cherry’s hand tightly. She said this is not for herself, but for her cherry.
Cherry also read her determination and smiled at her, albeit very slightly. She really seems like she made some good friends.
All of this must be because Isaac recognized him and saved him. To her, her Isaac was far beyond her savior.
“By the way, Mr. Kate…”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“I heard from my family… I heard that married couples should be fully prepared for intercourse…”
“Ready?”
Kate widened her eyes. She said that she had never heard of it.
Cherry couldn’t give any other advice because she had no knowledge about this either.
But she has someone who can give her advice. She nodded her head and quietly opened her mouth.
“Yes. Cecily-sama knows best…”
“I’ll have to ask before going to Cherry’s mansion. Thanks.”
The place where Cherry and Kate have a conversation is the temple of the mansion. Cherry usually stays here while writing.
After that, the two women briefly returned to the mansion before heading to the Countess of Roseberry. Naturally, it was to find Cecily.
Coincidentally, Cecily was also at Isaac’s mansion, so she was able to help them.
“Preparation? Of course it’s important. Shall we go to the capital and buy clothes first? I’ll help you.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Thank you…”
After Cecily’s proper support, she went straight to the Countess of Roseberry.
If the interview with Cherry was the first ordeal, the second ordeal was, of course, the interview with Count Letish.
“Excuse me, but I don’t think so.”
“Why?”
“That’s because Sir Isaac’s thoughts are very suspicious…”
It was assumed that the second ordeal would be rather tough.
******
Similar times.
Isaac checked all the manuscripts of The Doomsday and immediately sent them to the publisher.
The publishing period will be taken care of by the publisher, so he can play freely.
Of course, I wasn’t really playing, but I was thinking of doing what I had to do. One of them is Blood and Steel Gaiden.
“What’s the story this time? Another war story with no dreams or hopes?”
At Marie’s question, Isaac gasped. It could be because she’s been writing a lot of shit so far.
Aren’t you the one who spread the apocalypse? Thanks to that, it was even evaluated as being somewhat pessimistic.
“No. Quite the opposite. It’s humane and hopeful.”
“What are you talking about?”
Isaac spoke calmly as he mailed his manuscript.
“The story of a man who changed money and conscience.”
And its contents.
“Maybe interesting.”
The fate of the two women will be decided.
