83. Sequence Summary (1)
1.
‘Actually, I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with it…….’
I tilted my head thinking that Eileen was puzzling inside.
Of course, she wasn’t so careless as to incur Rudrick’s anger by expressing it outwardly. Rather, when it comes to things related to Rudrick, it was because he was the most sensitive to the point where he would always see a change in his expressionless expression.
After looking at Rudrick’s eyes, Eileen came to the conclusion that she couldn’t understand the reason, and shook her head.
It was familiar.
Occasionally, when there was a fight like this with a surge of emotions, Rudrick would intervene at the perfect timing to stop it.
Whether you end the fight while getting angry like you are now, or you will be able to teach each other well and comfort them one by one.
‘…… They say all women are children no matter how old they are. Is that what you said?’
Eileen thought with a bitter smile.
It was a daily life that I thought was natural from some time ago, but like the saying, don’t lose your preciousness by being deceived by familiarity. It was only now that I realized again the preciousness of everyday life that I had been leading as if it were natural.
So even now, I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but even the way he’s making an expression of regret is very lovable.
Actually, according to the principles, no matter how much the two of them were fighting, it was unimaginable that Rudrick would come out with such a high attitude against Eileen and Elena.
But what about it?
There is no drug as sweet as love. The kind you can’t get out of because you’re addicted to it once you fall for it. Even now, nearly ten years in terms of years, there was still no sign of the bean pods covering Eileen’s eyes coming off.
Anyway, while they each had similar but different thoughts, they arrived at the villa, and in front of Ludrick’s room.
As if it was an important occasion and the custom suits worn by the attendants were uncomfortable, Rudrick said as he unbuttoned his wrist.
“I have something to bring from the lab, so I’m waiting in line.”
“It is.”
Elena nodded her head obediently, and Rudrick stared at her and added.
“If you go in, Arwen might be there, so she can’t stand it. Don’t fight again while I’m gone. Then she’ll be really mad.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Eileen took that word.
“If you can’t answer.”
Rudrick grumbled and headed for the lab for a while, and the two of them entered the room without saying a word after sorting out their emotions to some extent.
In the room Arwen hasn’t returned yet.
Eileen and Elena looked around the room as if they both had an appointment.
Since it’s already been over a month since I’ve stayed there, it’s time to decorate it to suit my taste, but the space is too desolate to be a room for nobleman Yeong-sik.
Of course, the furniture and basic facilities were properly equipped, and the name and color were items used by the imperial family, so even though it was high-end, it seemed a little far from the common room of aristocrat Yeong-sik.
But as if this kind of scene was rather familiar, they both sat down on the chairs in front of the table.
It was Elena who spoke first.
“……Until now, I haven’t had time to look at the owner’s room properly. It’s just as I thought. It hasn’t changed at all.”
“That’s right. People won’t change in an instant. Rather, I wondered if a little more masculine feeling would remain when you’re younger…”
“Well, Rudrick must have been this way from the beginning. He must have known Sir.”
“I didn’t know.”
Just before, they had growled like they would kill each other, but they didn’t want to go against Rudrick’s heart and make a life-and-death decision.
As proof of that, we were talking more calmly than before, when we were so excited.
Eileen muttered, taking Elena’s words naturally.
“It’s a bit far to say that Rudric is an ordinary nobleman. In some ways, I’d say he’s more feminine than a woman.”
“I’m on the easy-going side, but… I’m sure the Lord knows. Even if I say that, I’m not really angry.”
Elena shrugged her shoulders.
If you add up the time before her return, they spent eight years together. She had spent most of Rudrick’s twenties with her, so it would be safe to say that all five of them, including Elena, knew nothing about Rudrick.
“… If Rudrick was really angry, he wouldn’t have been that angry. Rather, I remember that he didn’t say anything and his face became expressionless.”
“You know Kyeongdo well. Have you experienced it?”
“Once.”
“It’s a rare sight, but I managed to go through it. FYI, I’ve been twice.”
“Elena, that wouldn’t be something to brag about…”
“Looking back, it’s a shameful past.”
Elena laughed softly.
Until Rudrick returned, of course, the topic of conversation between the two was Rudrick. Starting with the memories he had with Rudrick in the past, anything about Rudrick could be a topic of conversation.
“Kyung… No, as my cousin knows, the more you know, the more amazing it is.”
“What do you mean?”
“Everything, starting with personality.”
While talking calmly, the stiff and heavy atmosphere gradually loosened up. Proof of this is that Elena’s second-person pronoun for Eileen has changed from her suyeong to her cousin.
Perhaps remembering what happened in her past, Elena continued her words while contemplating with a frown on her face.
“Sometimes I feel like playing on top of my head, but other times it’s so light that I feel immature.”
“……I think I have a roughly similar experience. First of all, the crime is serious in that women are possessed by all women. It is even more frightening that the person himself is not aware of it.”
“Ah, that’s what my cousin said. I agree. Sometimes I wonder if he was really born to seduce women.”
“Well… That’s not to say that it’s simply hateful, it’s more appropriate to say that it’s reckless.”
“The word homme fatale is not for nothing.”
Elena shrugged her shoulders.
“…Your cousin probably remembers it, but he’s faster than you think. Sometimes he’s kind enough to be a bit stuffy.”
“Are you talking about ‘then’?”
Eileen, who reacted sensitively to the words she spoke with a slightly heavier voice than before, raised her eyebrows and asked again.
Elena just nodded instead of answering.
The pulse of the conversation naturally cut off as the atmosphere changed heavily. Eileen narrowed her brows, biting her lip, as if it wasn’t a past she wanted to remember.
Because Eileen then and Elena then had the same expression as now.
“At that time, I could have agreed to just pick one person.”
“Then what to do with the people left behind, maybe.”
If there was a difference, it would be the difference that more intense sadness was buried on her face then than now.
The two of them, thinking of the painful past they didn’t want to think about, shut their mouths without anyone saying anything first.
And then, through the open door, Rudrick made a puzzled expression as he held several books he had brought from the lab.
“What’s the mood like? Did you two fight again?”
“For my lord. If I had fought my cousin, at least this room wouldn’t have been left.”
“I like the room right now? Please be careful not to use another room because it is damaged.”
“Remember.”
When Rudrick, who had never known Alli, glared at Elena about the serious conversation she had just had, Elena replied with her willfully cheerful face.
Since Rudrick has arrived, the tacit agreement that the heavy atmosphere and heavy conversation will end here for now came naturally between the two.
“It seems that Arwen hasn’t returned yet.”
“… Rudrick, I’m talking to you in case you’re an old woman, but she’d better be careful at all times.”
“Yes?”
“Let me tell you directly, she’s a little shy, but her essence is not a cat, but a jinzo. She even shares a room with an overaged man.”
“……?”
Eileen opened her mouth in a worried tone, as if it was all right.
Rudrick tilted her head, wanting to know what she was talking about, and Eileen, who was hesitant for a moment, spoke cautiously, showing a rich change in expression that was not like her usual.
“Rudrick, you probably remember what I told you last time.”
“……What?”
“If someone tries to lay their hands on you, Rudrick…?”
“No, no, no, no. This?”
“Did you remember it well?”
This time, Rudrick’s expression subtly changed.
Every time I had a conversation like this, I felt desperately aware that the world was twisted somewhere, so I couldn’t help but feel strange.
Of course, since Rudrick was a man, and he was also a man in his prime, there would be no reason to ask Arwen, who is not even a cat, to come up to bed and sleep with him unless he went crazy. In addition, I had no choice but to be careful because I slept in the same bed with Arwen, whose transformation was released just yesterday, without any obscene meaning, just as it was in the dictionary.
Aside from that, Eileen’s remarks made the feeling particularly subtle, assuming that Arwen, whose eyes had been turned away, attacked Rudrick.
In spite of the fact that according to common sense, it should be the opposite situation for Rudric.
“Hey, Eileen… Anyway, isn’t that a bit harsh?”
At the same time Rudrick, who had been thinking for a while, said that, the visit opened again with the illusion that the temperature around him had dropped by several degrees.
Salangsalang.
Its long, thin, white tail swayed gently. Then, a cat with a dissatisfied expression on the subject of the cat came naturally and rubbed her face at Rudrick, then glared at Eileen and said,
“The leap is serious. If you’re envious, just say you’re envious.”
“……What?”
“Can it be that I’m not crazy?”
From noble mtl dot com
Mandible.
Elena and Eileen were speechless at the sight of Arwen, who responded calmly, making a clumsy haw.
It was strange.
Surely, the Arwen in their memory must have been the image of their lofty ancestor. However, what she had in front of her now was a cat who was very happy with her pet life.
“You’d better go and learn.”
“……?”
“Transformation magic.”
Arwen jumped up and took her seat on Rudrick’s lap, then she added nonchalantly.
