116 – Abduction: Running Errands (2)
“Big⋯⋯.”
The image of Ruel confessing his true feelings after telling an awkward lie. I had no choice but to let out a groan. Because Ruel’s appearance was so cute.
“Then I’ll go…”
The sight of Ruel leaving after a disappointing greeting made my heart even more uncontrollable.
I almost lost sight of Ruel. There’s tracking magic anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
“It will arrive soon.”
“Yes. I’m glad that Ruel’s errands will end safely.”
As Sael said, at some point Ruel was at the entrance of a large store.
Smart Ruel chose three bottles of milk properly to complete the errand, and showed a confident gait.
* * *
Ruel brought three bottles of milk and brightly stood at the counter.
“Give me this!”
One bottle was for errands, and the other two were for emergencies.
After paying for the milk, Ruel lightly left the store.
The goal of running errands has been achieved.
However, in order to properly complete the errand, the milk had to be properly brought to the mansion.
Ruel embraced the milk. He was in order to somehow keep the milk safe.
Of course, Ruel’s idea didn’t go well. A bottle of milk had slipped down while Ruel was changing his posture.
Wow!
Milk splattered on the floor with a sharp sound.
“Ah…”
A waste of milk. If I had known this would happen, I would have drank the milk as soon as I bought it.
Ruel gave a light bow to the unfortunate milk and boldly turned around.
Then she saw the girl she had seen earlier. She is a girl named Kanna.
“Muggle!?”
“Yes, yes?”
Unknowingly, Ruel was handing a bottle of milk to Kanna. Kanna accepted it without hesitation, and Ruel smiled happily.
Maybe we could be friends someday. Ruel affirmed this and continued his journey towards Baslett Mansion.
I passed a hill.
“Huh-up⋯⋯.”
It was difficult. Ruel was in good shape, but he was a five-year-old at best.
Next was a long, long field. The road was not difficult. However, the invisible end of the field made it difficult for Ruel.
“⋯⋯ Heck.”
I didn’t give up. I wanted to complete the errand somehow. Hugging the last remaining bottle of milk even more, Ruel walked.
I finally saw the mansion. At this point, the success of the errand was confirmed.
Then it was necessary to stabilize the sweaty body. Because I didn’t want to show this to everyone in the mansion.
At times like this, drinking milk was perfect. There was milk in Ruel’s hand.
And at some point it was heading towards Ruel’s mouth.
“Kyaha⋯⋯!”
It was cool and refreshing. The glass bottle was showing the bottom at some point. Ruelle sucked up every drop of her milk.
Ruel came into Baslett’s mansion with her bright smile.
“Mom!”
“Ruel⋯.”
She tried to hand me some milk.
“Ah…”
However, the last bit of milk had already gone into Ruel’s mouth.
“Ooh, the milk is gone⋯⋯.”
In Ruel’s mind, the kid who didn’t succeed in running errands was a bad kid.
Ruel looked at Shael with her eyes asking what to do with her. Then she said with her mischievous eyes.
“If you ask Daddy to make you dessert, I will look after it.”
“Yes!”
A fire flashed across Ruel’s face.
Ask Dad for dessert.
It was easier than anything else for Ruel. Ruelle immediately ran to the Baslet family’s room, where her father would be.
* * *
“Make me some dessert!”
“Dessert?”
Ruel’s sudden request. It was a bit embarrassing.
Right before Ruel arrived at her mansion, I followed Ruel, sending Shael to her mansion first.
So I thought Ruel would arrive in a somber state. After all, Ruel couldn’t stand it and drank all the milk.
‘Then suddenly, what kind of dessert?’
First of all, it was Ruel’s request, so I had to do it. I made dessert for Ruel without even thinking of refusal.
“⋯?”
But Ruel didn’t eat dessert and called Shael over. Shael sat down at her table and started eating dessert.
“It’s delicious.”
“Drink!”
Shael said, Ruel said. There was something strange about the situation, but since I could see her happy smile, I ignored it.
The most popular was the cupcakes. At some point, there was only one cupcake.
It was Shael who picked it up first.
Ruel was looking at the cupcakes as if he wanted to eat them.
‘Villain Inseong isn’t going anywhere.’
Then, a surprising thing happened. Sael handed the cupcake to Ruel.
That Shael gave away dessert.
Ruel, who had been eating this, looked at me and Shael alternately and spoke to her.
“How did Dad and Mom come to love each other?”
This is the beginning of love.
First of all, my first meeting with Shael started while drinking tea.
From the beginning, Sael gave me a cold look and bullied me.
But when love started to sprout in earnest, that was the only thing.
ㅡ’Bitch like a dog.’
Maybe that was the beginning. The beginning of the relationship between the impatient me and the villain who has no concept.
‘But how am I going to tell Ruel about that?’
I can never say that. Perhaps noticing my gaze, Shael put on a mischievous smile before she said,
“Your father must have started by saying that I am a woman like a dog.”
“⋯⋯Shael.”
To say this.
It was a remark that would make Ruel, who is rich in sensitivity, cry as soon as he heard it.
I waited for Ruel to speak. Before long, Ruel woke up, she said.
“It’s romantic!”
“Romantic?”
“Yes!”
To be honest, I was embarrassed. Although she is my daughter, I was a little curious about Ruel’s state of mind.
“A girl like a puppy! You’re just saying that she’s cute!”
“Yes.”
Even Sael had a puzzled look on his face. She was also looking at Ruel strangely.
In my opinion, Sa-El had a strange way of thinking that was just as strange as Ruel’s, so she only laughed.
But Sael’s mischief did not end there.
“Uh, I even pulled out a sword at my mother.”
“A sword…!?”
Ruel looked at me. It was a slightly questionable gaze, but eventually the feelings in that gaze changed.
“It’s romantic!”
Why on earth is it romantic that I drew my sword in front of Shael?
Even though he exchanged glances with Sael and had a silent discussion, the question was not resolved.
“Ruel, why is that romantic?”
“Because it’s a story about mom and dad!”
“Aha.”
As expected, Ruel’s way of thinking was peculiar. She was like the daughter Shael and I had.
* * *
After spending time with her family, she started working over a glass of wine.
First of all, it was a letter from the family selling ore for the Barslet family.
‘That’s not good at all.’
The letter contained the content that I couldn’t share any more deals, which was not good for me.
‘I need to step out.’
But there was a problem.
When he lowered his head, what was visible was the ring of control he shared with Shael.
A ring that restricts you from talking to the opposite sex, except for the lover you share the ring with and the bloodline family.
In short, it was an incredibly uncomfortable ring.
‘Let’s just ask to remove the ring altogether.’
Since I have to ask Shael’s permission every time something happens, it’s annoying.
It would have been better to persuade Shael to remove her ring.

Kikiiik.
The door opened without knocking. Shael was coming into her room hugging Ruel.
‘I have to say that I want to remove the ring first.’
Before that, something caught my eye. It wasn’t the ring of control I was wearing, it was another ring of control that Shael was wearing.
‘Come to think of it, did Sael ever say he would take the ring off?’
No matter how you think about it, Sael never said he would take the ring off.
When I looked back at my memories with a strange feeling, only Shael, who was always wearing a ring, came to mind.
If this is the case, I will become the bad guy after taking out the ring dozens of times.
“Why is that?”
She once thought she was being held captive because of Sael’s jealousy. But that was my mistake.
As for Shael, she was more than seeking love from me, she was giving it to me.
Because I got used to her love, I must have felt annoyed.
Nevertheless, Sael showed me infinite love and awakened me.
I was living a happier life than I thought.
I managed to say it with a smile that was fresher than ever, holding back the tension.
“A woman like a fox⋯⋯.”
I couldn’t even properly perceive what I was saying because my head was shaking.
Did you get drunk from the wine you drank a while ago, from the atmosphere, or from the love you shared with Sael?
I couldn’t figure it out.
The only thing that came to my mind was the conviction that this kind of life would continue in the future.
