49. Dance with you under the moonlight.
***
The social gathering place that became a mess ended with the appearance of Fine.
The young ladies who harmed Nex were forcibly kicked out, and Asha barely succeeded in persuading them.
‘It’s the first time I’ve seen Fine get angry.’
Phine clicked her tongue while glaring at the people around her. It probably won’t end like this.
She probably did it because she showed me how she treated her brother or her sister, whom she knew from her childhood.
I wonder if Asha will be punished in her own way. Because she did something that crossed the line.
Thuduk, thuduk. As she went out onto her balcony, the sound of her rain pounded on the railing.
Is this correct?
[You have reached 100% of Nex and Sartine’s romance!]
I smiled bitterly as I looked at the status window that appeared in front of me.
[EVENT CG: 「The vampire who overcame the sun.」 Has been collected!]
Nex and Sartines embrace each other and smile. My eyes are red from crying and laughing.
Other aristocrats at the social gathering place watched on with disdainful expressions, but they couldn’t express themselves because of Fine.
‘The two of them look happy.’
Even if the love level reaches 100%, it’s not completely sweet, and it leaves a bitter aftertaste.
They were parents who projected on their children what they hadn’t achieved.
It was Asha’s karma that Nex drenched herself in wine and that Chartines almost got hit by a glass.
Seeing it in person, there must have been a change of heart. You must have seen what your children do to you because of whom.
Maybe that’s why I withdrew my objection.
Or maybe you’ve found an unexpected side to Chartines.
The feeling of unraveling a tangled ball of thread. It’s just a wound that has been sutured.
I know how crooked Nex is in Night Heart.
A rival who fought back against the player.
The phoenix, a feature of his family, was also a nobleman who didn’t use it in disgust when someone he loved died.
“….”
I looked up at the sky and sighed for a moment.
Yes, if the end is happy, it’s all over. Is pure love a thing?
From now on, with the protection of the Aureus family, there will be no chance for Chartines to die.
“..Licht. Why are you alone?”
At that time, I saw a pure white girl approaching me, wagging her tail.
The white dress is reflected in the moonlight, giving it a subtle shimmer.
Fine white in contrast to the dark night sky.
“Drunk? How much alcohol have you been drinking?”
By the way, your cheeks are red. As she staggered, I grabbed her and supported her as she approached me.
“I didn’t drink much.. Richt..”
My tongue is already twisted. Lying is bad. Bloody
The eyes are also soft, so it’s not the usual icy cold expression.
“Whoa..”
Fine let out a hot sigh and drew closer to me. Is it cold because it’s raining?
“Drink in moderation. Then, what if I stumble and get hurt?”
You drank more than I’ve ever seen before. It was bitter to see Fine who was already over her tolerance.
“It’s okay… you’re here, right?”
Whoops, I heard a small laugh and felt the soft hair on my shoulder.

Pine leans her head again like a habit.
What should I do with this cute dog-like girl? As soon as he came to my side, his white ears went wide and disappeared.
“..Pine, don’t stay here, go in and rest. Catch a cold.”
I took off the suit I was wearing on Fine and covered it.
Even if the raindrops don’t come in, I don’t want my precious person to catch a cold.
“..Whoops, my driver…. It smells.”
“….”
Pine embraces the smell of an oversized suit with both arms. Her sleeves are long so her arms flutter out of sight.
It has a cute feel like a dog rubbing against its owner’s clothes and sniffing it.
I move my hand to pet Fine’s head, and the wolf ears naturally lie back.
You really are a wolf beast. I heard that wolves can never be tamed.
“Don’t ignore me. Blood.”
“I don’t like it… I want to stay with Richt some more…”
That common sense may be wrong.
Pine looks cute and spoils me. As her punishment, I will stroke her hair.
“So, Licht… Why was he alone on the balcony…?”
As I was slowly stroking her hair so that it wouldn’t be damaged, she asked me with a sorry expression.
“Because I am not in a position to intervene.”
[Chartines♡Nex 100% ‘Ending collection complete’.]
She turned her head after seeing the numbers in the status window floating in the air.
Come to think of it, what does romance really mean?
Does this simple number really mean love between people?
50% If you start dating, 100% if you get permission to get married.
What should I say about the relationship between Fine and me?
“Huh, you look happy. Different from us.”
Fine said in a low voice as she looked at Chartines and Nex. A slow, sad voice.
“I thought of parents as people who were impatient for not being able to do even a little more for their children.”
Because my parents did.
A kind mother, a little blunt but warm father.
“..I guess I was wrong.”
My father, a firefighter, has always been a hero in my heart.
It seems that everything in the world is not going smoothly.
“You’re Suhyeon, like your parents?”
Fine talks as she pricks up her ears. The words that came out of her mouth were words I didn’t expect.
“..How to do that.”
How does Fine know my parents? Even if you say you know my childhood, that doesn’t make sense.
Oh, no way….
“In the Trial of Tardun, Byounger.”
She hiccups in the intoxication that heats up her body as she recites a story.
“Everyone, just like you… Are nice…. They were kind people. He treated me warmly, seeing me for the first time in my life.”
Peen looks at me and nods her head as if I’m right.
“Is that so..”
I also saw Empress Bellin in the Tar Dune test, so it wouldn’t make sense if she played the role.
Wait, isn’t this a simple meeting ceremony?
“Everyone around me seems happy. Licht.”
The moment I suddenly had such a question, what I saw in my eyes was a sad expression.
It rained in golden eyes like the moon. Pine started to cry.
“Pine..?”
It is noticeably red, and you can see the small shiny lips.
It looks like she put on makeup to appear at this social gathering. That is being erased
“I… Actually, I’m not sure if dating or marriage… Is important.”
Moonlight falls on Fine’s unusually long eyelashes.
“Am I happy? That one.”
She opened her mouth, hinting at Chartines and Nex.
“..No matter how much I read in a novel, I don’t know.”
The Nex side is already laughing and eating with Kinel and Ariel.
“Of course you will be happy. I do it with someone I love.”
We disappeared along the way and didn’t even notice.
There are already three couples, and there are two couples who have even promised to marry.
“Why are you so desperate…. Curious.”
Peane put her hand on his chin and said, as if thinking hard about it. I don’t know who he resembles.
People who live different lives from their own.
With her sad eyes, Fine tried to drink from the glass next to her.
“Stop drinking now. Blood.”
She took the last glass and drank it instead. The bitter scent of grapes rose.
“Ah, an indirect kiss. Transformation..”
Pine, you can’t drink any more here.
As I lowered my head in embarrassment, the wolf’s tail wrapped itself around my leg.
“..I saw it in a book. They say falling in love is like dancing on clouds. Licht.”
Pineda shyly talks while shaking my hand.
The feeling of dancing on top of the clouds is love. .
“Chief, can you dance with me just once..? Because I don’t know how to dance…”
Soon after, as if embarrassed, Fine opened her mouth. It shows purity without a single spot.
It’s a nostalgic tone.
The tone of speech that kept coming back to me right after I became possessed by the game.
A pure white saintess.
The same person is correct. At this level, no matter how different people are, Fine is still Fine.
“How is it? I tried to copy the phrases there as closely as possible. Actually, I’m good at dancing, but….”
The rain starts to stop. The sound of the chasing rain now disappears, creating silence.
From start to finish, I was captured by a wolf who wouldn’t let me escape.
“Okay. Princess Fine Grancia.”
To give her memories that she couldn’t say before.
“..I accept the dance request.”
I got down on one knee and took the knight’s oath.
***
Honestly, I didn’t know I would be successful.
“Lee, Licht..?”
In a romance novel I was just reading, the female lead said something like this, so I copied it.
How did this happen?
I did have a desire to dance.
The courtyard of the social meeting hall. In that space where no one visits because it rained a little while ago.
“Yes? Why are you like this all of a sudden? Blood.”
A man wearing a black knight helmet and Fine were standing together.
“Why, why… Are you taking off your shoes?”
“Oh is that it?”
Richt took off his shoes before dancing with Fine and put them away.
“I am not good at dancing.”
As a swordsman, he wielded his sword to protect Fine, but he didn’t practice dancing to keep manners in social gatherings.
“So… I think I might step on your toe.”
Pine finally understands.
I am Richt, a commoner. Besides, even though he came from a different world than himself, he didn’t seem to learn to dance separately.
“..Okay. If it’s here, there won’t be any soil. Let’s dance here.”
I called him to the pavilion in the courtyard. A place where pure white marble is laid, and a magic circle of cleansing is hung.
In a small space, the two men and women began to dance while breathing together.
“..Licht, I am not sticking out my left foot here.”
“Oh, sorry. Blood..”
Fine’s impression of Licht’s dancing skills was simple.
It’s clumsy.
I’m clumsy, but I’m too clumsy. In fact, it seems to the point of being rejected by a partner for being lousy.
“When dancing…. You have to match your opponent’s movements. Licht.”
Arms and feet go out together. A shy man who can’t even look at his partner properly.
He keeps looking at the floor and worrying about stepping on her feet.
“Yeah, slowly.. You can hear the music in the venue, right? Guess there.”
One foot, one foot. Fine overlays Richt’s gestures with her own teachings.
“Ugh, sorry. Blood.”
“..It’s okay if you step on my feet. Licht.”
Even if there were mistakes in between, it was good that Fine was an opportunity to confirm that Licht had no ties to other women.
‘..I don’t think I’ve ever danced with a nameless saint.’
She thinks she has an edge over the person she cared about before.
The corners of Fine’s mouth went up naturally. She did not know this, but she enjoyed it.
“This is how you do it.”
Raising her arm, Licht moved her body forward in step with Fine as she twisted her body to the right.
From noble mtl dot com
“Yeah, keep going like that…. Just repeat.”
The gaze of each other continues.
“I still step on my feet…. Sorry.”
“I told you not to say sorry. Licht.”
This time, Licht tugged at her wrist, bringing her into breath with Fine.
The two focused on dancing as they repeatedly attached and detached each other like magnets.
The singing voice of the social gathering venue gradually became inaudible, and the two men and women surrendered their bodies to each other’s dance moves.
“..Licht.”
“Why is that? Blood.”
Under the moonlight, clearer and brighter than ever, Fine spoke her words to Licht.
“Tomorrow, will you come to our palace?”
Pine’s cheeks redden again and her pupils widen, feeling slightly embarrassed.
“Your Majesty Locke must be here, right?”
“There is a reason. Licht.”
She said her goodbyes and made the final gesture of her dance.
The moment the ball dancing under the moonlight comes to an end.
“I want to repay you for the chocolates you gave me before.”
Fine ended the conversation by sending Licht her seductive smile.
