111 – Storm – 5
The promised weekend has arrived. I prepared comfortable clothes and went out to the place I had promised in advance. Coincidentally, I was the last one.
“Am I the last one?”
“Is there any assistant who is slower than the professor?”
Cordelia had her arms crossed and her legs shaking. Her posture is very cheeky. I’m going to play the role of my boss because I decided to match a little bit. There is no master of method acting who has already deeply immersed himself in the character.
The problem with her is that when I spoke to her before, I never really set her up or down between me and her. Obviously, she was the main one, and I pointed out mistakes from the side and said that I only gave a little help, and I used the metaphor of a professor and an assistant, but that doesn’t really mean that she is my superior and I’m her boss. This is a character interpretation failure.
And what was even more absurd was that I wasn’t even late. Even arrived 10 minutes earlier than the appointment time.
“There are still 10 minutes until the time we originally promised.”
“That’s right. It’s just something I’ve said once.”
Cordelia grinned. She looked a lot more excited than usual. I’m glad I didn’t get into an accident. I turned my gaze away from her and saw Hestia and Seol-ah, who came to serve as her gallery today. At the feet of the two lay a picnic basket that looked heavy at first glance. It seems that he made a lot of snacks today.
“What did you bring so much?”
“The number of people has increased, and when you move your body, you get hungry.”
“Did you wake up early today to prepare?”
“I usually wake up early.”
Hestia tugged her hair to the side of her ear, and replied humbly, as if it was nothing at all. I held her hand Then she averted my eyes and blushed. I have a new feeling when I think of how she used to do all sorts of tricks to hold her hand.
“Thank you.”
“Kuhm! That, I was with you too.”
Seol-ah, who had been watching this from the side, interrupted with a cough. Hestia, who came out of Stern belatedly, helped.
“Right. Miss Lily got up early with me and helped me.”
“Really?”
Seol-ah turned her head to the other side, pretending not to be interested in my reaction, even though Seol-ah very actively appealed that she was the same. But her hand on her waist and her glance at me made it futile. She’s protesting with all her body to get some attention from her too? I said a word in a very dry tone.
“Good job.”
“Good job….Wait, is that the end?”
Seol-ah, who had been waiting for her words to follow her, asked back as if she was dumbfounded. Even I can see you did a good job, one word is too insincere.
“What else do you need?”
“You’re so insincere!”
If you want to be so sincere. I decided to thank her with a little more sincerity, as she wanted. I put my hand on her Hestia’s shoulder and gently pulled her towards me. Then she blushed and stuttered her words in embarrassment, and then she started pointing at me and screaming.
“Thank you for giving up sleeping in the morning and preparing snacks for us.”
“Hey, hey! You! Crazy… !”
I was even more surprised by the sudden banter. I warned her in her low voice and put her hand over her mouth.
“The mask comes off.”
“Oup! Town!”
“Are you awake?”
Cordelia nodded her head.
“I was surprised!…”
After Seol-ah, who struggled a couple of times, calmed down, I let go of her hand. Thinking about it, he had never touched her body so suddenly. No matter how much, I didn’t know that he would get rid of the honorifics he used to use and shout at me.
Seol-ah glared at me for no reason, but soon turned her head away. To be honest, I don’t know how long I intend to keep that new concept of honorific words. Hestia thinks so because she uses honorifics no matter in private or in an empty seat, even when dealing with anyone, but Seol-ah doesn’t know…. You have to have a heart of respect for your opponent, is it all respectful if you add yo at the end of your words?
Well, that’s my opinion, and if she really wants to keep that concept of honorifics, I have no intention of stopping her. She has an idea to fit in there. It’s just that it’s just a little annoying that I have to keep paying attention to it.
“I asked if that was the end, so I expressed my gratitude very sincerely and sincerely.”
“No, ha…. Really. Don’t talk.”
Seol-ah shook her head. Cordelia, who was looking at what was in the basket next to her, belatedly clung to Seol-ah.
“Thank you! I will eat well!”
“Because it’s hot, it’s a bit far away.”
“Ah… , good.”
As Cordelia said, the corners of her mouth twitched a little while pretending not to be Seol-ah. She continued to cling to Hestia, saying thank you. Hestia seemed accustomed to this kind of thing, and pushed her away with dignity in the attitude of a skilled assistant.
“Hestia!”
“Yes, yes. All right. Sure.”
And the princess… , Somehow, it feels like you’ve spread a little more distance from me. I took a sneaking step toward her, just in case she wanted to.
“… ?”
Then she also took a sneaky step away from me. Isn’t it a coincidence? I moved in the direction of the princess once more.
“… Any problem?”
“No. It’s nothing.”
This time too, she walked away from me. She even asked back, “Is there something wrong first?” If you don’t notice it, then you’re sick. She obviously kept trying to get away from me. Like the same poles of a magnet, if I moved her one step toward her, she too would move away from me.
I went over to Cordelia, who was smiling excitedly, and asked a sneak peek.
“Cordelia, did I do anything wrong to her?”
“Huh? Hmm… , isn’t it?”
“Isn’t it?”
She thought for a moment, then shook her head. At this point, I feel unfair, I feel bad. It’s not a very pleasant experience to be hated when you’ve done nothing wrong. So she decided I am a person who is sure of giving back as much as I have received.
“Cordelia, shall we begin soon?”
“Yes.”
Why, isn’t there such a thing? If someone hates you for no reason, give them a reason.

“Okay, let’s meet again after a 10-minute break.”
“Hey, this is right… ?”
“Um….”
Cordelia took a moment to catch her breath with her hands on her lap before she asked me a question cautiously. Perhaps thanks to her constant exercise, she didn’t struggle that much. However, the direction of her worried gaze was a little different. YuRia had collapsed, biting her tongue and holding her breath. The daily swordsmanship class, which started under Cordelia’s leadership, was heading to the mountain due to Mikhail’s sudden runaway.
The basic posture that was originally planned, the correct grip, the center of gravity, etc. Are all thrown away and they are only running all morning. Of course, it wasn’t so hard that people died. This is a fact that can be known just by looking at Cordelia’s condition.
However, for Yuria, who had never done any exercise other than breathing, this was no different from a marathon. In addition, the endless running, which never ends, eats away at her mental strength as well as her physical strength.
Of course, it is true that her stamina is very important in sword training. Even if it’s not necessarily a sword, stamina is essential for all martial arts. When you go to learn boxing for the first time, you don’t just have to jump rope for a month. Cordelia was well aware of this, so she was not able to forcefully dissuade Mikhail. Besides, she had a rare case of strong Mikhail, who usually loses to Cordelia in a fair amount.
‘No, why is he doing this?’
And in fact, Mikhail was also surprised. Originally, it was a warm-up exercise, and she had her run a little hard, but when Yuria made a dying sound, she planned to do a simple training as she had originally planned, but contrary to expectations, she followed her until the end.
“Kuh, kuh hmm. Then, should we stop warming up here?”

Mikhail evoked the atmosphere with an awkward smile. He thought it was because he thought it was too much.
That’s not even funny, thought Yuria. It’s not like Mikhail was messing around. Really. He was the one who gritted his teeth and endured, trying to see who would win.
She was just dumbfounded by this ridiculously peaceful and laid-back atmosphere. Since she was born, she had been fighting the psychopath prince for her power, so she couldn’t understand such an attitude without a sense of crisis.
Do these people even know who they are fighting with? Yuria shook her head inside her. If so, she couldn’t be this relaxed.
To borrow a clichéd expression, Wilhelm Reinhardt was literally a rare genius. It also has the highest lineage in the empire and the greed to match it. And, unfortunately, Wilhelm did not have the personality to match his ability. This fantastic trait, like an alchemist’s cauldron, went through various actions, and created a terrible hybrid called ‘a psychopathic prince with ability to be freed only when he has what he wanted.’
Honestly, it was hard to believe that that hideous hybrid had just taken a leave of absence after being beaten up right in front of a man who was clearly embarrassed and laughing awkwardly.

Michael von Sirius. Heir to the Grand Duchy of Sirius. He is the only descendant of Alexei von Sirius, who is said to be the strongest sword on the continent beyond the empire, no empire, and he himself is a man with a genius talent for swordsmanship. As long as the location was the location, all the high-ranking people of the empire paid attention to him. No, to be precise, he ‘had’ noticed.
Apart from a few years of his relatively young life, his life was completely shrouded in mystery. I try to find out something, but it doesn’t come out, so how can I find out? Just train, study, train, study at home…. Event? Is absent ball? Would you go out like that? Naturally, public attention gradually faded. No matter how thirsty for gossip, it is impossible to create something out of nothing.
Occasionally, I heard low-quality chirashi from somewhere, such as, “It looks like a doll, not a human,” And “I don’t care about vulgar words.” And Yuria wanted to bring all the people who said such nonsense back then and colonel her in front of this man who was doing mean things in front of her. A doll, not a person? In a sense, it seems to be overly human, so it’s a problem?
It’s not enough to be a true fiancée, so it’s like walking around with the prince’s ex-lover and her fiancée by his side. I don’t know if it’s cheap, but it’s definitely not a doll. As for Yuria, I wanted to call that ‘trash power’ rather than ‘humanity’.
What should I hide? This was a new concern for Yuria recently. He was almost correct in his initial evaluation of ‘harmless man’. The word ‘almost’ means that it is not a perfect answer.
From Yuria’s point of view, Mikhail was a seriously promiscuous man. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the enemy of women.
Of course, if he had heard such a story, Mikhail would have jumped up and said what nonsense he was talking about. It was an action with Are you just a friend? No sound. Even seeing the affection that sometimes shines in Lily and Cordelia’s eyes, can they say that they are friends?
It was just like this morning. That impudence of naturally making skinship with another woman, especially her fiancée’s friend and static ex-lover, even though there is a fiancée right next to her who even brought snacks for him! YuRia was frightened and decided to keep her distance from Mikhail.
Well, thanks to that, she got caught up in Mikhail’s twists and turns, but Yuria never regretted it. She can’t kneel to such a trash man.
“Wow!”
“Yuria! Are you okay? My legs must have loosened up a bit from running for too long….”
“Uh… , Shall we rest a little more… ?”
… Never regretted really.
