92. Cold
“Hey, Ian is mine!”
Noah heard the emperor’s words, pulled Ian into his arms and shouted. Her voice filled the dining room.
After a moment of silence, the emperor smiled hahaha and looked at Noah.
“Yeah, it was. Count Melie, you were there too.”
At that moment, the emperor’s eyes lit up and he began to look at Noah and the prince alternately.
“Since the first emperor, the second hero. The second multiple summoner.”
Unlike Ian, who can spread that talent to multiple women at the same time, he can only have one child at a time… .
She was also quite talented. Enough for the Emperor to covet.
“Yeah, that’s good. Then you will be engaged to the prince.”
“… your majesty. that-.”
“Why don’t you like it? This is your chance to become a member of the royal family. Your child may become the next emperor.”
Noah dared not open his mouth. Rather than worrying about the fact that she would become the empress, it was because she was worried about how to reject it so that she would not be left behind.
Seeing this, Ian realized that this time it was his turn to defend her.
“I don’t like it.”
“… Marquis Clark, what is that?”
“I don’t want to be engaged to the princess, nor do I want to hand over Noah to the Prince.”
Saying so, he pulls Noah out. Actually, you should be straight. What the emperor did was greedy to think only of his children and bloodlines.
“If you have talent, should you marry the royal family? You have to do the right thing. His Majesty the Emperor.”
Theoretically, the imperial talent has never been proven. In fact, since the first emperor, there have been no beings who summoned two summoned beasts, nor have there been any beings that could be called a hero.
If it was a world where only talent could summon high-ranking pets, the imperial family should have had dozens of four-star pets right away.
reality? I couldn’t.
“Based on that logic, wouldn’t it be right for me and Noah to get married?”
The second hero, Noah Melie.
The next Duke, Ian Clark.
In the eyes of others, the path between two people born with mutant talent was the most reasonable story.
“… So, now- I’m going to refuse. Is this?”
“According to His Majesty’s logic, this is more reasonable.”
“Puhahahaha-! Reasonable, reasonable… .”
When the emperor heard Ian’s words, he burst into laughter. The people around him begin to lower their eyes at his frivolous appearance for an emperor.
The emperor, who had burst into laughter, stopped laughing and looked at Ian.
“If you are rational, would you destroy the Empire?”
The word had a thorn in it. It was a poisoned thorn. Still, I had to catch it. What, you use it because you’re afraid of being stabbed by thorns when you’re trying to pick a rose.
“Yes. It will.”
“Now, in front of me, I must have said that I would destroy the empire.”
“At the same time, it will never happen.”
Ian made eye contact with the emperor. They changed words in just one second, so they looked like they wanted to hear what they were saying.
“If I destroy the empire… If the existence of an empire poses a threat to mankind. However, the Great Emperor, His Majesty, rules the Empire, should that be the case?”
“… … big hahaha! yes yes! Cancer, that won’t happen in my empire.”
The emperor said so and asked Ian.
“Then, do you plan on taking both?”
“… Yes?”
“If the Princess gets drunk and Count Melie gets drunk, wouldn’t it be one stone or two?”
Ian looked at the emperor as if he was serious. Even the prince or princess sitting next to him looked at the emperor in surprise.
The emperor couldn’t even wait for that brief moment, so he rushed to answer. Ian nodded his head carefully.
“Yeah, what. That’s not bad.”
* * *
puck!
“You bastard!”
After eating, Ian returned to his room and received a powerful Noah punch from Noah.
Ian, who was clenching his stomach and complaining of pain, reached out to Noah as if he had something to say.
“… I couldn’t help it.”
“It can’t be helped!”
Noah shouted that and once again threw a powerful Noah punch.
In fact, Noah understands. The fact that I can’t say I hate it or hate it in front of the emperor.
However, a woman was a creature who wanted to look only at herself in such an unavoidable situation.
Noah, who had been punching Ian for a while, stopped the punching fist and slammed his face into Ian’s arms.
“… Have you calmed down?”
“… yes.”
After losing his strength, Noah regained his reason, and as if he had nothing to say, he buried his head in Ian’s chest and drooped.
As the strength runs out, tiredness gradually rises, and soon I forget that I am in Ian’s arms.
“… Ian, that word. I’m serious?”
“what?”
“As far as marrying the princess, you said that you would marry me.”
never said that No matter how much she rummaged through her memory, it was Noah’s misunderstanding or an auditory hallucination created by her brain.
But there was nothing wrong with the words themselves, so Ian said while stroking her hair.
“I’m serious.”
“Hehe, okay?”
I had no intention of marrying either of them. However, sometimes lies are necessary.
Hearing Ian’s answer, Noah giggled and wrapped his arms around his waist. It wasn’t easy to wrap his waist with fern-like hands, but… It was possible to barely touch it.
Noah, who wrapped her waist around her waist and put her head on Ian’s side, mumbled while rubbing her face.
“me too… Machan… – Oh, Ian… .”
The voice was so low that it was hard to hear what he was saying because of the pressure on his clothes, so Ian casually lifted Noah up and put him on the bed.

My head was hot and I had a little fever.
“Looks like you’re overworked, get some rest.”
Ian, who covered her with the duvet to the end of her neck, watched her fall asleep and slowly got up from the bed.
Noah carefully grabbed Ian’s sleeve as he left.
“… … Ian.”
“Say it.”
“I won’t give up… ?”
Looking at Noah who was muttering with a worried voice, Ian burst into laughter.
She set her slightly sweaty hair to the side, and gently stroked her hair-.
“I will not give up.”
“Jeongmaal-?”
“then.”
“until when?”
“To the end of this world.”
Hearing this, Noah fell asleep with a smile as if relieved.
After looking at her wheezing, Ian came out and immediately looked for the maid.
“Did you call?”
“I think Noah has a cold, please bring me some medicine.”
“all right.”
The handmaiden said that and said she would prepare, and then disappeared. Ian looked at the room where she was lying for a moment, then went back to my room.
* * *
-I like you, Ian.
“Ugh-!”
Noah, who had fallen asleep, remembered his own voice saying that and got up from the bed.
Sweat dripped down from my body and stuck to my clothes, and the cold sweat blew away the heat, making me feel a little cold.
However, I couldn’t afford to worry about such discomfort.
“… … Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!”
Recalling the words he had muttered to Ian before, Noah stomped his feet and ran around the bed.
embarrassed. It is embarrassing. be offended
A complex and mysterious emotion that could not be explained like that covered her whole body.
In other words, it was a sensation as terrible as ants crawling all over the body.
“What do you do, what do you do, what do you do?!”
How Ian would see himself, no. How should I look at Ian from tomorrow?
Noah pondered for a long time, and found the medicine and water next to the bed.
“… This.”
It was a cold medicine. Only then did she realize that she had a slight headache and a fever.
Who the hell put this up? Anyway, there was only one person.
Ian. Ian Clark.
“… Ian.”
Even though she didn’t say it, she gave all these considerations, and she was slightly moved and drank the bitter medicine at once.
It was bitter enough to frown on her face, but at the same time she felt so sweet that her teeth rotted.
That was Ian’s consideration in the medicine.
“… Also, I like it.”
I couldn’t hide this feeling.
Looking at the moon in the sky, Noah prayed that Ian would have the same heart as him.
* * *
“Summoner, do you know you’re really trash?”
“… … What else?”
Ian, who was enjoying a bath with the summoned beasts in the large bathroom, frowned when he saw Empress swearing at himself.
However, this time not only Empress but also Theresia and Anna helped her.
“Yes, Master. Where’s the madman out there to pick both? If you are a man, you should choose only one person like a man.”
“If I did that there, would I have been beheaded by the emperor?”
“Sometimes men risk their lives for trivial things.”
Even though she was actually a girl with two breasts, Theresia insisted on what she thought of as a man.
Of course, no matter what she said, Ian had no intention of accepting it. Life is the most precious thing, is there any reason to refuse it, even at the cost of losing the Emperor?
“Poor Noah who knows nothing… She must have been impressed by the fact that you also prepared the medicine that the maid gave me… .”
“… … No, it’s not like that anyway.”
Hearing Empress’s words, Ian shook his head, as it would never happen.
No matter how much Noah fell for him, would he think so?
… … no way.
bro at this point, marry your summons too.
