281. Worrying for no reason?
“Oh wow! “Wooweeek!”
“Go out and do it.”
It’s a bit hard to say this as someone who made someone drink something similar to poison, but I couldn’t let him vomit in his room.
Darius covered his mouth with his thick hand and hurried out.
I thought he would come back soon, but surprisingly it took some time.
I don’t think it’s enough to make you vomit a few times.
But there was a reason.
“Findenai didn’t let me go in to clean the bathroom.”
“… ….”
“I’m a little late because I had to go to the bathroom on another floor.”
Isn’t he a former scrap metal dealer leader for no reason?
It was so persistent that it could be called a wolf.
Anyway, Findenai’s car was cleaned up. This means that a space for dialogue has now been established.
“Is there something wrong with Deia?”
Darius looked dissatisfied and seemed to have a lot to say to me, but when I got straight to the point, he couldn’t say anything and ended up going with the flow.
“What do you think of Deia?”
“What do you mean?”
It wasn’t clear what her intention was when she asked what she thought of her family.
Even if Darius was the eldest son, he wouldn’t be asking questions like this.
“Whoa.”
In the end, Darius let out a deep sigh and began to explain at length the reason for coming to me.
“Ever since she was young, Deia had an extreme dislike for men.”
“It’s sudden.”
“I think you know the reason.”
Darius continues pretending not to listen to me.
“Deius. So, it was originally because of that guy.”
I know.
Because of Deius’ hateful remarks and outpouring of s*xual harassment, he naturally came to dislike men.
However, if you ask her if she is attracted to someone of the same s*x, she says no.
Actually, this is not an issue about men or women, but simply aversion to the concept of loving another person or having bodies overlap.
“But it’s different now. The wounds caused by Deius…… Deius cured it.”
Darius is deliberately raising his eyebrows and making insinuating remarks. I’m glad I was able to help heal her wounds.
“But. Hmm, I think it was a bit excessive.”
“What does it mean?”
I felt like I knew what Darius was going to say, but it was something he should not say.
I guess Darius knows that too, so he came and told me in person.
In the end, he scratches his head about how complex it is and confesses it honestly.
“It seems like Deia has feelings for you.”
“… ….”
“I hope I’m mistaken, but honestly, I think it’s almost certain.”
“I think… ….”
He slowly crossed his legs and answered calmly.
“I think you are mistaken.”
There were many times when Darius talked nonsense, but this time his nonsense crossed the line.
Do you know what you are talking about?
“It’s family affection. Since Deia didn’t have a proper older brother, I guess she relies a little on me to play her role.”
Not only did Deius not have a proper older brother, but this also included Darius.
Before I came, he could be called a living Jibakryeong who was only obsessed with the name of his family.
“Hmm.”
Unable to refute the fact that his past behavior was not very good, Darius clears his throat and brushes it off.
“I also hoped it was simply my imagination. But just in case, I went to Iluania this time. “She spent a lot of time with Deia while you were away.”
“… ….”
“Iluania said it seemed quite possible.”
If you do this, the story is a little different.
I don’t know if it’s Darius.
It was difficult to ignore the words of Illuania, who could practically be called an expert in this field.
I frown and get lost in thought.
“When I spoke, you didn’t even listen properly… ….”
Darius grunting in front of me was a bit annoying, but I continued to worry anyway.
From what I was seeing, the girl I knew was definitely a bit too distant to be considered her brother or sister.
But I think it was a reaction to not receiving affection from her family. I know that, just like her, I am thirsty for her relationship with her family.
‘Besides, I’ve already said something in that direction once.’
There were times when I emphasized the word ‘siblings’ just in case.
Dayago She took it for granted at the time.
“It’s hard to believe.”
Even if she said Illuaniah, she honestly found it difficult to accept it. It’s hard to find a woman as sharp as Deia within me.
She never thought that she would do something so foolish as she loved her own flesh and blood.
“Deia is not that foolish.”
But Darius listened to me and shrugged her shoulders in response.
“It’s not an action, it’s a feeling. “People are more susceptible to emotions than we think.”
Speech uncharacteristic of Darius.
Unexpectedly, it was a moment when the eldest son’s dignity was revealed.
“Whew, Deius.”
He sighs deeply and presses his eyes. It was obvious that he was tired.
“No, Kim Shin-woo.”
When she was Deius, she didn’t really like being called that, so her eyebrows twitched, but she decided to listen for now.
“If you were a prosthetic body. Honestly, I would have welcomed it too. Because I have never seen a man like you, and I can trust him. “My younger brother becomes my brother-in-law, but we are family anyway.”
High praise beyond expectations.
But Darius continues his story.
“But not when it’s Deius.”
A firm declaration.
These were not simply the words of Darius Verdi’s man.
Owner of the Verdi family.
Margrave of North Sweden.
The giant of the northern mountains.
The head of the family, who carried the family, gave me a heavy warning.
“I have no intention of watching the family order collapse.”
“… ….”
“I’m just saying this just in case. I know you won’t do that, but…… “Just in case, since you cherish Deia.”
I knew what it meant.
But there was one thing he missed.
“Deia is also important to me.”
“Hmm?”
“Darius, you are important to me too.”
Isn’t it obvious?
“Because we are family.”
I spoke calmly, making eye contact with him, and Darius’ expression, which was looking at me in confusion, gradually brightened.
Deia’s opinion was important, but it was also important to me not to do something that Darius didn’t like.
I just expressed that.
“Ha! hahahaha! Yes! That’s right! Absolutely! Ah! “He’s my little brother after all!”
Is it because he feels like he has been recognized? Darius kept smiling and exchanging a few words before heading out.
It meant that you would trust me.
“Whoa.”
I was thinking of leaving North Wales soon. While looking at the situation, I have to go back to Graypond and let them know that I have returned.
But it seems like there is a problem that needs to be resolved before that.
“… ….”
Suddenly, the worn-out teddy bear she had came to mind.
* * *
Knock knock.
“Come in.”
Deia’s voice was heard immediately after knocking. I opened her door and went inside to find her intently reviewing her papers on her desk.
“Deius?”
Are they surprised by my sudden visit?
Deia, embarrassed, puts down her pen and greets me.
“Are you busy?”
It’s not that Darius can’t handle this part of the work, but because Deia was so good, she naturally took charge of everything.
If I were there, I would have done it, but I am not in a position to just sit still in the territory.
“A little? “I’m writing some things to the royal family regarding the transfer of prisoners and an investigation into the circumstances of the incident.”
Maybe the timing wasn’t good?
He said he was sorry and tried to leave again, but Deia hit him first with her chin.
“Go sit on the sofa over there. “I’ll finish it soon.”
The hand holding the pen has become a little faster.
I was worried, but I accepted her favor and slowly sat down on the guest sofa.
“There were refreshments on the table, so I guess I forgot about them.”
Even though he is busy moving her hands, he does not forget her consideration. Actually, it’s the same as the refreshments in my room anyway.
I look at her as she concentrates on her work for a moment without bothering to touch her.
She had a beautiful appearance.
I am so proud to be her younger sister. If she says she’ll get married one day and brings a man, she might get grumpy at the thought of losing her family.
Just like his father.
But that was the end.
I’m sure I’ll applaud and congratulate them, bless them for their future, and give them a rare smile and a pat on the back.
While watching her work, I also wondered if she really had those feelings for me.
Could such a capable woman have been swept away by one of her own emotions?
I may be saying this because I am a person with mild emotions, but it was difficult for me to accept it anyway.
‘Iluania doesn’t know everything.’
Although she is an expert of sorts, she cannot get everything right. Especially in front of a type like Deia who is good at hiding her own thoughts and feelings.
At one point, I felt like the accident was moving in the direction I wanted, but I didn’t go against it.
I didn’t think it was actually the wrong direction.
Is that why?
It felt like it was a bit of a waste to wait so quietly.
I also had a desire to reassure Darius as quickly as possible.
“Do you like me?”
A word spoken bluntly and bluntly.
It was a choice of words that could sound somewhat arrogant, but I couldn’t think of anything else to say.
Deia’s head, which had been stuck in the documents, creaked and turned to face me.
He looked like he didn’t really understand what he was just hearing, so I spoke again.
“As reason.”
This was something I could say because I had faith in Deia.
In fact, she responded to my faith.
“Have you been drinking?”
“… ….”
“I feel so refreshed when I come back. I also practice bullsh*t. What? “Me, what?”
“No.”
“You didn’t take drugs, right? “Tell me to call Findenai and take him away?”
“I’ll go out on my own feet.”
As expected.
Her expression was so irritated that she didn’t even stop me as I was leaving and just pretended not to see me.
“It was a needless worry.”
Thinking that Darius and Iluania were strangely worried, I closed the door to Deia’s office.
The day after I felt so relieved.
Deia suggested that the two of us go out into the city for a while.
