Episode 25
Allen and Rachel, who were enjoying the fierce sea, moved when their cheeks were red as if they were going to burst in the eyes of a passing maid.
They moved to an outdoor table located in the flower garden.
“you… Uhm, isn’t that a little different? I wasn’t bold enough… .”
flutter flutter-
She cools her face with a fan as if it’s hot, and glances at him.
Bright cheeks and sparkling blue eyes. A tall nose, pink lips, and soft eyebrows. Her body had a faint scent of muguet.
“is it? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, so maybe I missed you.”
When she replied with a bright smile, she looked at him.
Her cheeks, which had become hot all of a sudden, cooled, and she looked at her with suspicious eyes, and she firmly opened her mouth.
“Tell me the truth. Who are you.”
what do you say who are you
She seemed convinced of something.
“What year is it? Somehow, I thought it was weird. You are not like this.”
She nodded as if she understood now. He seemed to be making a serious mistake.
“Okay, did you say you hired a new maid? no way… .”
No, where could such a conclusion be drawn from this conversation?
“Speaking now, kill that bitch… No, no… say it right Where did you go? kiss? No, it’s just that you can’t be like that, Kiss? No, I hope… ruler… !”
side-
Her eyes were wide open.
His mouth was slightly opened and he looked as if he was bewildered, so he stole his lips a few more times.
shriveled, shriveled-
The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of the collar in the wind.
“No, there is no other woman. I swear by mana. Can you believe me now?”
At the same time as his declaration, a light wave spread from his body. She will know what this proclamation means to the wizard.
“Uh, uh… . No, that, I doubt, I didn’t… .”
She hid her pinkish cheeks again, not making eye contact. The lake-like eyes fluttered to and fro, avoiding their gaze.
“Well, that’s it, isn’t it? Sudden hugging, crying… Whispering with sweet words… In the book 49 symptoms of cheating men… .”
What the hell was she reading? Allen hid his trembling expression and smiled a little.
yes it can be
From her point of view, she was able to think that way because a man who, until a few months ago, couldn’t express his affection properly, came out boldly.
‘I should refrain from reading strange books, but… .’
“still… . It’s nice to see you out like this.”
She rolled her eyes shyly and smiled brightly.
Allen grabbed her hand as if possessed, and when their faces were about to get closer.
“sister! Ugh, sister… sister… uhh… .”
Uninvited guests arrived.
While spending time together after a long time, the person they met was someone they knew.
If it had been someone else, I could have kicked him out for being rude, but things didn’t go well.
“How, how could you do this to me? whoops… .”
It was Catherine Noblier, who was her brother’s fiancée, who was forced to intervene in their time alone with tears in their eyes.
“It’s a breakup, huh… . How, how… .”
Rachel also looked angry at her for ruining our private time, but Catherine was sobbing and talking, her anger could only be relieved gradually.
“You broke your marriage with Julius?”
Rachel listened to her in a tone of disbelief.
“Yes, sister, hehehe… . Seeing you look like an idiot, uh huh, come to your senses, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh… .”
Catherine did not stop crying even as her makeup and hair, which she had been painstakingly prepared since dawn, were messed up.
“On purpose, huh, before departure, huh, ready, huh, huh… .”
Her outfit was definitely not something that could be prepared in a day or two. From simple decorations to shoes and dresses.
I couldn’t even guess what kind of effort went into sublimating her charm as much as possible. Phil must have tried on his own.
“Hey, her name is Katarina… . Khhhh.”
Even as she spoke, she fell asleep as if fainting, crying in Rachel’s arms as if she was overwhelmed with sadness.
After hearing all of Catherine’s story, Rachel stroked her cheek as if she was sorry.
Her story was simple.
She said she wanted to bring him to his senses, who had recently become notorious for being naughty.
I heard rumors that it had already changed, but she wasn’t sure, so she tried to prescribe a drug.
That was the breakup.
She has been close since childhood, so this time, I tried to make my fiance completely reincarnated using the breakup as an excuse… .
“It’s a breakup… .”
I knew the ending already, but I couldn’t help but feel complicated inside.
“It’s a sudden breakup. Do you know what this is?”
Rachel also had a look of embarrassment.
How long has it been since you went in to rehabilitate your fiancée, and then you broke up and returned?
She didn’t seem to understand the sequence of things right now.
“no… . Not at all.”
I’m sorry to her, but I haven’t been able to tell her everything yet.
Conspiracy without any evidence and preparation will be nothing more than useless manipulation as before.
‘You have to have a way and evidence to prove it. He is not an ordinary human.’
It’s not that I’m different from ordinary people, I mean that I’m not normal. The guy is obviously weird.
‘As if the world was helping… .’
If he himself who watched him from close would think so, what would those who only hear rumors from afar think?
In order to drop him, ordinary preparations were not enough.
So, I had no intention of attracting people around me until I caught even a small clue.
‘Yeah… . I can’t help but use what’s available.’
His eyes fell on Catherine for a moment.
A woman who was broken by a loved one. She is close, loves her brother, and her motives are good enough. She will be full of sorrow now, but… .
If only I could forge it well.
‘It could be a dagger.’
“Really, I don’t have to tell you, Julius, even though I’ve become an idiot, isn’t this too much? I was cute when I was younger, but now… after.”
Rachel smirked as if it was ridiculous even thinking about it.
“It makes me want to apologize for that.”
When Allen answered with a bitter smile, she shook her head as if it wasn’t.
“Catherine is that no… How prepared were you to meet Julius? Do you know why I suddenly came here?”
Come to think of it, I didn’t even think about the basics of meeting her.
“… I really don’t know.”
In the first place, she had to be at the Academy located in the Great Desert at this time. That’s why he didn’t even think of looking for her.
“It’s because of Catherine’s request.”
“She?”
She nodded as if yes.
“There are usually two ways to enter the Galshudin Academy I attend. The first is to go directly through the desert and take the entrance exam. Most of the regular students use this method, but… . They are not the ones with the power.”
Allen had not attended the academy before returning, so he had no choice but to nod his head.
“With the recommendation of eight top-ranking students and the permission of one faculty member, you can enter without an entrance exam.”
Of course, if you don’t prove your talent, you won’t be able to survive a semester.
She added briefly, and looked at Catherine, pale-faced.
“Most of the high-ranking officials have the same talent, so ‘she’, the owner of the academy, is also allowed. But the Noblier family… .”
“It cannot be said that the force is large.”
If it was limited to the western kingdom, it could be said that the power was large, but if you look at the entire continent, it was difficult to spread the name.
“Yes. So, she tried to persuade the elders of her family to mobilize her connections as much as possible. She brought us here by rewarding the top ranked students from the western kingdom and bribing one of the professors.”
Allen was slowly getting the context of the whole story.
“To admit Julius?”
Rachel’s eyes lit up. She genuinely seemed to be angry with Julius’ behavior.
“How hard he tried to get permission to do this! He said that he would return to his old self if he came to his senses, and that if he succeeded, the profits would not come back to his family, so I tried so hard! He… !”
“Wait, wait. Why don’t you calm down, Rachel.”
Allen grabbed Rachel’s hand and clasped it.
“Whew… . I was so angry that Even though I tried so hard, I prepared hard for today’s meeting. The result is a breakup… .”
She sighed in dismay, giving strength to her clasped hands.
“I am only here to meet you. The other students are staying in the estate of Noblie.”
Galshudin Academy… .
Now that I can’t find a way to save my brother from the gnome, going there was one way.
It is said that there is a place full of forbidden books and forgotten knowledge.
“Then, what are we going to do now?”
“I do not know… . Probably, things have progressed this far and I can’t stop… .”
Slowly shedding her words, she asked him abruptly.
“Would you like to try it?”
“I?”
Interest was there.
But not now.
I had to finish the work that had to be done in the territory, and the time was not yet right to move my body.
“It’s interesting, but not right now.”
“then… . I can’t help it. If so, wouldn’t Catherine be admitted instead? That seems to be the most likely way to get her back on her investment, even a little.”
She pouted her lips as if regretfully, imagining something, and then smiled softly.
“Then you want to go, right?”
Her eyes twinkled like stars.
“… right.”
“Okay then. Guys who were a couple at the academy, they were really ferocious, heh… . good job I want to make fun of others as soon as possible, so come as soon as possible.”
She said that Allen’s admission to the academy was confirmed.
“No, I… .”
“Okay?”
“no… .”
Her expression was smiling, but her eyes pressed him to answer.
Allen had no choice but to nod his head quietly.
“Then, I’ll get up first. I want to be with you more. Catherine is not feeling well.”
Catherine let out a cold sweat and a small moan as if she was having a terrifying nightmare.
She got up, looked at her clasped hands with regretful eyes, and got up from her seat.
“eww… . It’s a pity that we parted like this.”
She glanced at Catherine and lowered her face. I could feel her deep muguet scent and sweet breath.
“Hey, this is very embarrassing. Also, you’re weird.”
She wiggled her fingers, pretending to be calm, looking into his eyes.
“not… Was it strange?”
laughter came out. I feel like I want to go to the next one, but… . I don’t want to now
As his eyes turned to Catherine, Rachel screamed.
“No more! Now is… Outdoors, Catherine, no time… .”
Her voice became quieter, and finally became as small as a whisper.
“If you want to… come to the academy me, me too… Because I am interested.”
A smile grew on Allen’s lips.
“I will definitely go.”
With that, the meeting of the day ended.
As if she was aware that she had said something embarrassing, she quickly took Catherine and left the garden.
Allen stood up from the place they left, quietly looking at the stone tomb.
Now, the first incident is coming soon.
‘The academy… Shall we seriously think about it?’
A smile lingered on his lips all the way back to the mansion.
