287. Distress
●
“Why me…?”
Such questions flowed from Beatrix inside the carriage.
It’s not that she was planning to go back to her home, the Marquis of Kilgore, during this vacation and spend some time leisurely.
Because she was always stressed out by her heavy workload, there was nothing she desperately wanted more than rest.
At least, it means that being called by her best friend and suddenly taken to the Kendrid border area was never in her plan.
In particular, Beatrix avoided this cold neighborhood where there was always a harsh wind that bitten her skin.
“Hey, you know I hate the cold. “If it’s colder than this, I really won’t be able to come to my senses…!”
“We need a strategist, Beatrix. “Out of all the people I know, you are the most suitable person for this role.”
“…”
“Originally, it would have been Daoud’s job to organize it, but now that’s the goal, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Even her friend who dragged her in is just spouting nonsense like this.
“What kind of strategist is a strategist?”
After hearing those words, Elnor looked outside her window with her wonderful eyes.
It was a picture in itself to see a beauty of the level called Gyeongguk-jik do something like that, but Beatrix waited for the nonsense that would follow without blinking her eyes.
“…What kind of nonsense is nonsense?”
“I’ve never seen you sound normal while acting like that.”
“…”
Elnor was silent for a moment due to Beatrix’s powerful bombardment of facts, but then she cleared her throat and opened her mouth again.
“Beatrix.”
“Why?”
“Do you know how to get pregnant?”
“…”
Look at that.
Beatrix swiped her face with the force of tearing off the skin on his face.
“…When did progress get there?”
“I’m not out yet.”
“…”
“But right now, there are more than one person targeting me, so my goal is to take the job at once if possible. “That way, even the most ignorant people will know my topic.”
“First of all, shut up.”
Beatrix said those words while holding her head that was pounding as if it was about to break.
I don’t even want to talk about what it means politically for a man from the Tristan family to step on the Margrave of Kendrid and what the aftereffects will be…
I have a feeling that it would be good to have a discussion based on common sense around this guy named Dowd.
But still, I have to ask this.
“So, according to what you said.”
“Hmm.”
“… Are you saying that there are several other women besides you who are ignoring her child and attacking her?”
“That’s right.”
“…”
I hope you don’t just accept this crazy nonsense without even blinking.
The ‘Women’s camp near Daoud’ she checked off on her list.
All of those people are pregnant with the same man’s child…
From noble mtl dot com
‘…The continent could be destroyed?’
I truly feel that way.
“…”
Beatrix sighed and thought for a moment.
To be honest, at this point I feel strongly that there is no point in saying anything to Elnor or the other women.
Just hearing about this makes me dizzy. The place we need to attack first in order to sort out the mess is…
“Elnor.”
“…When I arrive at Baekryeong, I will go somewhere alone for a moment.”
Beatrix narrowed her eyes and said that.
The reason I said that was simple.
‘At least, I need to check my sanity.’
Everyone rushes to that extent.
If you’re still running away like you used to, then I don’t know.
I was going to discipline him until he lost his wits.

– Said.
Beatrix, who I suddenly met before going to dinner, started talking.
“…There was such a situation.”
I was wondering why this person suddenly appeared here, but that was just completely solved.
“Okay. Because it’s not even funny. “The Margrave of Kendrid and the Duke of Tristan are on the brink of all-out war because of one man.”
“…All-out war?”
“When a person of the equivalent of a great noble barges into someone else’s territory without warning, there is usually a lot of dangerous business like that. There are a lot of etiquette that must be observed between people whose every move becomes a hot topic. “I shouldn’t be here in the first place.”
Beatrix said that while repeatedly rubbing her hands that had turned bright red.
Kendrid Margrave is an extremely frozen land. It must have been a harsh environment for a civil servant girl to be outdoors even for a short period of time.
We even looked for a quiet place to talk alone, and ended up on a terrace with a cold wind blowing. I’m a little creeped out too.
However, even in that situation, Beatrix continued her sentence. As if it were an extremely important topic.
“But do you know what’s even more absurd?”
“…What is it?”
“It seems like they already knew it was coming here. Let alone an all-out war, it was as if they were receiving a customer who had been waiting. “It made me wonder if they were a great nobleman who was like the enemy of the Great Heaven.”
“…”
“But as soon as I said I was coming to see you, the warrior immediately turned around and asked me what my business was and why, right?”
“…”
“As if it were a much more important and great thing for me to meet you briefly than to see a hostile nobleman who suddenly showed up without following any rules of etiquette.”
“…”
I have nothing to say.
Beatrix, who continued to sniffle and rub her hands, sighed deeply and said.
“Kids, I am much more sincere with you than you think.”
“…”
“Probably not only the warrior, but also Elnor and the other women around you.”
“…”
“You did it because you had the confidence to handle it-“
Beatrix, who was continuing her words, was momentarily speechless at the sight of the fur coat covering her, and her eyes widened.
I took off my coat and wrapped it around me.
I did this because I saw him shivering earlier, to the point where I felt sorry for him.
“You look cold.”
“…”
Beatrix’s eyes, which were round for a moment, immediately narrowed.
“…Okay. “If it’s like this, it’s going to be that much more twisted.”
“…”
What does that mean?
“Rather than that, listen seriously to what I say-“
“I was listening. “Thank you for your concern.”
“I’m not worried about you…?”
“That’s what it sounds like to me.”
“…”
She scratches her head with a slightly weak smile.
“Isn’t it a matter of whether you have the confidence to handle it or not? “If you are so sincere about me, it is my job as a human being to give back to you as best I can.”
“…”
“I will do it because it has to be done.”
“…”
“I will be grateful, senior.”
“…You just talk nonsense.”
When I answered with a smile, Beatrix sighed, swallowing it inwardly even though she had a lot left to say.
“Don’t disappoint Elnor. “Even though he’s like that, he’s a very soft-hearted kid.”
After saying that, Beatrix turned around.
“…I have a lot to say… But looking at it anyway, I think my stay in the Marginal Territory will be a bit long, so I guess I can say it later.”
“Is that so?”
“Okay. More than anything, I’m so cold I’m dying. “To begin with, I’m not feeling well these days…”
As I watch Beatrix say that in a loud voice, I can’t help but smile bitterly.
Is it because I see this person always whining and shooting? It looks quite cute to see him shaking like this with his body almost covered in tears.
“It looks like the Margrave is waiting in the banquet hall right now, so why don’t we go down together?”
As Beatrix said that, her body swayed greatly. Suddenly, I felt dizzy, as if my sense of balance was lost.
As you said, it is highly likely that going outside to get some cold air when you were already not feeling well had a negative effect.
The eyes also shake greatly. It was as if he had no idea that his body would be twisted this much.
Actually, if it goes as it is, it will just end in a rather comical fall.
“…Uh…”
The problem is.
This is a terrace that is wide open to the outdoors.
As it is an extremely frozen soil, there is a lot of slippery snow on the floor.
Beatrix’s body, which had completely lost its balance and collapsed, was caught on the fence of a nearby terrace.
It was clear that her large height for a woman had a very negative effect in times like this. The bars hanging near her thighs do not even serve as a safety guard, but rather cause Beatrix’s body to lean over the fence.
As if trying to go beyond.
“…”
Huh?
In an instant, my eyes catch sight of the beyond the terrace.
The Margrave’s Castle is built on a fairly high hill. Below is a vast forest covered in snow.
If we leave it like this.
Beatrix falls straight down there.
“Seo, senior?!”
He is startled and runs out to catch the body.
No, I suddenly lost my footing and fell over the terrace. If you get into such a serious accident, you can’t even complain to anyone nearby. It’s so ridiculous!
Thoughts like that, I rushed over and grabbed that body by the chin.
“…Huh?”
My body also tilts and falls.
“…”
Ah.
That’s right.
My life is not in danger right now. They say that the critical condition is not applicable.
It may be okay if you are ‘while falling,’ but it doesn’t help much just before you fall.
The story is that I currently do not have the physical ability to support the body of a woman who has completely lost her balance and is greatly affected by gravity on the slippery floor.
That’s the story.
“Wow!”
“aaa!
My and Beatrix’s bodies plummeted across the terrace at the same time.
