91 – If you make fun of the princess, you will be punished
Ariel’s red eyes caught the light and gave off a mysterious color that was quite different from usual.
Edgar suddenly met her eyes, and it seemed as if green was overlaid on top of the red light, and it seemed as if they were overlaid with white and shimmering lightly.
He thought it was probably because the lights that decorated the surroundings were illuminating them with their own different colors.
‘Am I ready to speak?’
The girl he saw, Ariel Loveheim, was always like that.
There is a saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but Ariel was one of the few people who could communicate clearly with her eyes.
Even when she made a firm resolution like now, resolute her heart, or even when she was shy or happy, her eyes conveyed her emotions silently.
Her eyes, which Edgar was looking at now, were more vividly red than ever before.
It must mean that it is a story that was brought out through a firm decision.
And it must mean that he was ready to spit out the words.
That’s why Edgar came all the way here and didn’t bother to tell her that if she didn’t want to say something, she didn’t have to.
Whatever it was, it was considered disrespectful to disregard the feelings of a woman who had made up her mind.
“Ed, remember what I asked before?”
“What do you mean?”
“If someone tried to kill your lover or family, you asked how you would get your revenge.”
“ah… I think I remember.”
It was a question that seemed to pass by, but it was a conversation he remembered because Ariel’s comments after that were so strongly etched in his mind.
“Did I tell you then? I want to give you a taste of the feelings and pain I felt when I almost lost someone I loved.”
“It’s scary to hear it again. Yes, it certainly was.”
“But I thought you would hate that. Because you seemed to be contemplating even avenging death.”
One might say that such an attitude is rather soft.
When Ariel heard Edgar say that, he had a similar sentiment, but he didn’t think it negatively.
Rather, it was because I thought it was a more Edgar Bilhark-like aspect.
However, this was completely different from Ariel’s method of revenge.
She wasn’t in the mood to take revenge by slapping her on the cheek just because she was slapped.
If he was hit on the cheek, he would swing his fist, and if he was hit by a fist, he had to insert his sword into the opponent’s stomach to be freed.
The education he received from the Loveheim family was like that, and he needed this iron-blooded mindset in order to survive in the cold northern plains and carry the Grand Duchess on his back.
However, this was not for Edgar.
In the end, she only gave the referee’s mace to vent her anger, and the opinion of the person who was about to be killed was not added to it.
It was that part that Ariel wanted to apologize from now on.
“You haven’t heard about Vincent and Lux’s punishment either. Because I told my father to be together.”
“… Yeah, somehow he didn’t say anything.”
At least, even if it had been prevented from leaking within the family, it would have been heard in his ears, but no news about their punishment method was ever heard.
Even if Yulken and Helene kept their mouths shut due to their position, it would have been possible for Edgar to get the news at least through Shuri, who would have heard the news from Ariel’s side.
Edgar also had doubts about that.
Perhaps it was not that the family was preventing the story about the two from leaking out, but rather that it was not trying to tell him the truth.
Since there was no reason to listen to it, Edgar did not bother to take an interest in it, but he had doubts all along.
For what reason?
Even if the other person was the owner of a noble family, at least, how important is the punishment for those who have fallen into criminals, so they wonder why they are so sternly blocked.
But I thought Ariel’s breath was in there.
It was also unexpected for him.
“Actually, I didn’t want to let you know. You did something you didn’t want me to do on my own, so I wanted to hide it somehow.”
“Is that the punishment for those two?”
“That’s right.”
Ariel nodded lightly and lightly tidied up her hair that was disheveled by the wind.
However, hair sticking out all over the place, and eventually Edgar reached out to help.
Since she had hardly ever tidied her hair with her own hands in the first place, there was no way she was familiar with the touch.
“Why were you trying to hide it?”
“I told you. It was like I did something I didn’t want you to do.”
“The punishment must have been very harsh.”
“little… No, I think it would have been very harsh by your standards.”
Ariel didn’t even try to add an excuse, and he recited the punishment for the two without adding or subtracting according to his standards.
It was certainly more brutal than Edgar had imagined, but he had no particular feelings.
This was Ariel’s only way to get revenge on those who did nothing to get their hands on him.
Whatever she did, it was for her sake.
Perhaps Ariel herself said, ‘I did this for you.’ he expected.
If so, what can I add to it?
“Then let me ask you this. Why did you bring this up to me?”
“There is no particular reason. I just didn’t want to hide anything from you, if I had to say… I wanted to apologize.”
“Apologize.”
The apology would not be about punishing them.
In the first place, Edgar expected, she would think that she had caught two guilty worms, but would not consider it wrong.
However, even so, the reason why he brought up the word apology was that he could not ask for his opinion even though he wanted to lower the referee’s mace on his behalf.
And it must be that he has been dragging this fact hidden until now.
“what… Honestly, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sad because I’m a human too.”
“Yeah, I know.”
It was the first time he had been so honest with feelings of regret, so Ariel felt ashamed inside while answering as calmly as possible.
As soon as I was about to raise my lowered eyes and look at him, I met golden eyes.
When I hurriedly lowered my gaze again and tried to observe somewhere between the floor and the air, Edgar continued talking with a small laugh.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m sorry for hiding this fact. If I had to ask, was I that unreliable? I don’t think so.”
“That is absolutely not the case. Trust me.”
“I know, you idiot.”
“Mmm, stupid… … .”
When the words he usually spat at him came back as counterattacks, Ariel spat out the word stupid over and over again.
It was only today that I realized that this is a word that has a bigger psychological impact than I thought.
“Anyway, I understand how sorry you feel. I can understand why you have kept it in your heart until now.”
“then… Will you forgive me?”
“I have nothing to apologize for. I wasn’t angry in the first place.”
It was just an expression of the aforementioned regret, but it was more like Ed’s self-criticism toward himself.
After being together for nearly 18 years, and even though they became lovers, can they be called the boss of the company only if they can’t trust you like this?
I must say that I heard such a sense of skepticism for a moment.
However, when I looked back on the story in my head, I realized that it was not his fault.
Because this was just the heartache of a woman who was concerned about her own actions that went far ahead.
In the end, no one did anything wrong.
“Isn’t it scary… isn’t it?”
“What are you afraid of?”
“That, that’s right, I didn’t kill him with my own hands, but… Besides, even if they were the ones who deserved to be killed… that is… … .”
Seeing Edgar’s uncharacteristic hesitation to speak out, the corner of Edgar’s mouth went up.
He seemed to know what he wanted to say.
Even if Amman was a criminal, it was certainly a cruel act for an eighteen-year-old girl to do.
She must have thought that she would definitely feel fear as a person to person.
Edgar, however, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and quietly grabbed her hand.
“Of course I was surprised. But that doesn’t mean you’re scary.”
“really… easy?”
“Am I going to lie about this? In the first place… … .”
Edgar, who swallowed her whispers, suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled it with all his might and held her in his arms.
The ferry rocked for an instant and a small splash was heard in the silence, but he playfully looked down at the surprised woman with a calm expression.
“What’s so scary about a guy who’s shy just hugging him like this?”
“Oh, I’m not ashamed… ! I was just surprised by the sudden pull… … !”
“Put saliva in your mouth and lie.”
If the surroundings were dark, he would have been able to cover up with lies somehow, but now the lake was very bright thanks to the cluster of lights scattered around it.
Although it wasn’t to the extent that the sky we looked up at in broad daylight was blinding, it was enough to check each other’s complexion.
Edgar booed at her spouting outrageous lies, then raised his eyebrows and smiled as he came up with an idea.
It was a bonus that Ariel’s heart became nervous at that uneasy laugh.
“Ah, now that I think about it, I feel a little sad. Should I apologize for this?”
“That’s a lie… ! You fool! I don’t feel sorry at all, but I’m going to use this as an excuse to get something else out of me!”
“Why do you talk like that to tear lovers apart? It just needs some negotiation.”
It was a negotiation, but Ariel knew that during the negotiations with him, there was no fair outcome.
Most of it was because Edgar had caught a potion of some kind and used it as an excuse to conclude an unfair treaty.
It will surely go on like that today. The problem was that there was no hole to escape.
Because he always skillfully threw bait in a situation where Ariel couldn’t refuse.
“What, what is it? Because it is not difficult.”
“I don’t want anything difficult. Um, what would be good?”
Edgar also came up with an impromptu idea, so he had no idea what to ask for.
In the first place, if you ask for material things, you will only become a snob, and it is obvious that it is not difficult for Ariel.
At this time, it was difficult for the other person to listen, but I needed a wish that I could take care of the real thing, but not listen to snobs.
The conditions seemed difficult, but Edgar was always a man who picked out those things well.
As if to prove this, the smile that had been engraved on Edgar’s lips grew even thicker at the sudden thought.
I had a strong feeling that it would be a good enough option.
“Just show me something cute.”
“Ears, cute things… ? what is that?”
“There are things Sylvia is good at. That the snoring makes noise. Like acting cute.”
“… … !”
If I did something like that, I would never have thought it would be such an absurdly high level of difficulty.
Ariel’s face turned a deep red as if it were about to explode at any moment.
The steam gushing out in all directions was a bonus.
“Bah, you idiot… ! how do you do that… … !”
“Uh huh, you say you feel sorry for me, can’t you do that much?”
“Sir, this idiot… … !”
Ariel let out a voice full of anger as she looked at him with a stern expression on her face.
There were a few times when Sylvia played pranks on Ariel and acted cute in order to belatedly deal with it, but it was just things that made even the viewer’s eyes watery.
However, he is asking the person involved, Ariel, to try it.
What an ugly wind this is.
‘I can’t do it.’
However, as mentioned earlier, Edgar always creates a situation from which she cannot escape, and presents conditions in that situation.
In other words, at the point of this situation, she already has no way to exercise her right to veto.
Eventually, Ariel, who grinned at him, pouted her lips and slipped into his arms.

Like a cat appeasing its angry owner.
“I-that’s… … .”
“that is?”
“Ah, I’m sorry Ariel, so please take a look… … .”
“Five.”
Isn’t this the so-called third-person accent that is said to be the most difficult among aegyo acts?
Edgar didn’t expect it to come out like this, so Edgar quietly watched her with a surprised expression.
For reference, this is also a method that Sylvia often uses when she clings to Ariel and acts cute, but it seemed to be an intention to put it into practice right away.
“… Sir, don’t do it! Unless you’re a beast without dignity, how can you do something like this!”
Of course, that determination was shattered in less than three seconds.
While conveying words of deep consolation to Sylvia, who had suddenly turned into a beast without dignity, Edgar sighed with an absurd tone.
“Hey, if you say that, what will Sylvia be?”
“It’s possible because he’s an idiot!”
“Well… … .”
Edgar couldn’t deny that he was an idiot, so Edgar kept his mouth shut.
In any case, since she showed her hard work, it would be okay to be satisfied at this point.
Ariel referring to herself in the third person. Can there be a more precious scene than this?
“Anyway, good job. Thanks to you, I was quite satisfied.”
As Edgar stroked her head with a satisfied expression, a tendon sprouted from Ariel’s forehead.
I’m so ashamed of myself, so where are you going to quit on your own?
There would be no place to vent this resentful feeling to go over like this.
“yes? But what? I was not satisfied.”
Took.
Ariel, who was burning with vengeance, finished with those words, put her weight on Edgar’s arms, and knocked him over.
If it was the usual Edgar, he would have endured enough, but maybe it was because he was quite careless. and went backwards.
Ariel fell on top of Edgar with a thud.
The back of his head was tingling, and he frowned and ran his hands through his hair, and Ariel, who smiled contentedly at this, covered his lips with his.
And what followed was not the usual light bird kiss, but a deeper and more intense kiss.
Ariel’s actions were so irritating that even that Edgar was taken aback for a moment.
“… Sigh.”
Ariel dropped her body not long after that.
When the long silver thread broke, she stood up first and touched her lips with her fingers.
There was a bewitching smile on her lips that she had never shown before.
“Wherever you want to have fun and finish it. this fool.”
He has a personality that always needs to give back what he has received.
That was a woman named Ariel Loveheim.
