Letter from the North-3
I cleared my schedule.
There are so many things I have to do right now, but after this is over, I’ll stop by the North for a while.
Isn’t it my job to spend time waiting for my own break.
If I go to the North this time, I think it will be quite busy.
I didn’t know that going to meet him this time would be one of the few times I could rest comfortably.
I’m going to see it anyway, but I had a feeling that it was faster than I thought.
Even so, the reason why the schedule was empty was because there was a reason to go to the north.
“A masked person appeared in the North.”
“I haven’t been able to figure out if that’s true, but it seems likely.”
The identities of those who wore masks were not accurately identified.
He followed the crown prince, only knowing that he was doing something related to the dragons at the same time.
Arwen said he had a guess and said he’d look for it, so it seemed necessary to investigate him if he headed north this time.
But in the end, the purpose of this was to appease Adele.
I didn’t think that I would be upset because I contacted him a little late.
I was thinking about what to say when I saw Adele in person, not because I hated it, but because I was a little surprised.
If today’s schedule is over, the next one will be tomorrow’s northern trip.
After stretching for a while, I slowly picked up Adele’s letter while sorting through the papers on the desk.
I always think about it, but I’m not the type to write well.
His rough handwriting reveals his impatient personality, and his tone of voice would make you feel like he has a bad personality unless you’re close to him.
Since she is a grand duke, there might be some people who would accept this, but later I thought I should fix it a little bit.
It was a bit surprising that Keitel hadn’t taken any action against Adele yet.
It remains to be seen which one will be the trigger.
So this time, I’m going to go to the north and look at the elements that could be dangerous.
If there is, delete it, and if not, make sure that it does not exist in the future.
If it was Adele, I thought that if I spoke to Lotos, he would take care of it on his own.
Anyway, so what I was doing now was to look at the events in the outskirts.
Recently, there has been an unusually high number of disputes, so I was looking for the cause.
This turmoil is not simple. If it was because of the change in family name, it would have calmed down quickly.
Isn’t it gradually getting bigger as if someone caused it on purpose?
The first goal is to find the source. Once the source is found, the next goal is to find out what the cause of the riot is.
There was no reason to search for it right now.
If you leave it to Leonald or Arwen, you’ll be able to find the reason.
However, this was the only thing I had to finish in this duchy.
Again, the sound of shoes passing through the quiet hallway echoed coldly.
The hallway that had been renovated disappeared without a trace, and no sound could be heard from the exposed street corner leading to the basement.
Only the faint sound of breathing can be heard from time to time,
As I moved my steps toward the colorful sound, a fairly familiar face appeared.
YuRia, who was still alive, hadn’t uttered a single word since that day.
Nothing would change even if I said something, but I always looked at the woman sitting with her head hanging down. Then, quietly, he opened his mouth.
“You haven’t eaten today. I told you that you won’t die.”
Yuria’s day is always filled with hallucinations.
Arwen’s own special drug causes her nightmares, and when she gets used to fear, resets her emotions again to give her more intense fear.
Occasionally saliva leaked from his quivering mouth.
The lofty woman disappeared without a trace. All that remains is an ugly figure trembling in fear.
Even if I say it again, I don’t think I’ll be able to say it properly.
If there is room for that, I will make sure that no message is conveyed through words.
Right now, it’s kind of messed up. It didn’t seem necessary to do so.
The reason I came here was simple.
In order to check YuRia’s condition and maintain her consciousness to the point of not being completely destroyed.
As I let go of the divine power in my body, my blurry gaze became slightly clearer.
It took a moment for those eyes to look at me, and saliva flowed from the head that collapsed again and fell toward the floor.
“Not bad. I’m glad you’re still fine.”
I hope to live as long as possible.
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could live a long, healthy life before I die.
Of course you shouldn’t be happy.
How many people she killed, I had no intention of letting go so easily.
Because she had no intention of letting go as easily as Theresia did, the karma that YuRia would have to endure still remained for a long time.
While I’m in the North, Arwen will control this place.
Probably won’t see the sunlight for a while.
Please, don’t let go of your mind during that period.
By the time it reached the end, the hope that was cut off was eating away at her spirit, and she hoped that at the end, she would become a doll with a broken string.
I used to feel strange when I told her what I had done as head of household in front of Yuria.
I don’t know what I would have been thinking if these positions were reversed.
At that time, will you still hope for a return, or will your heart break and break down.
However, reality thankfully sent me light. I was thinking of arresting Yuria so that nothing more dangerous would happen.
What will Yuria look like after I go to the North?
Thinking about that, he quietly stepped back.
Soon after, I disappeared from the cellar, and from the empty cellar, only the sound of breathing alone could be heard again.
Perhaps, it was a continuous sound.

News quickly spread that Robert Taylor was heading north.
Of course it was Adele who induced it, but
The reactions of the subordinates, who thought more specially about the relationship between Adele and Robert, were more intense.
Lotos let out a longer sigh than ever before, and Bunta prepared his weapon thinking he could fight again. In addition, the adjutants began to make their own resolutions.
“Don’t you think it’s strangely energetic?”
At Lotos’ words, the adjutants looked at each other.
In fact, it was Lotos who paid the most attention to this visit.
Wasn’t he the one who created the room for Duke Taylor to stay right now?
Seeing the strange expressions of his colleagues, Lotos coughed for a moment, then sighed and pursed his lips.
“…it’s not normal. I’m not the only one who thinks so. no way.”
“We don’t have to worry about it. After all, it’s the Grand Duke’s job.”
At the words of the only woman, Irona, Bunta nodded.
I’ve thought about it for a long time, but Lotos was pouring great interest into Adele’s human relationships.
At first, I thought it was unrequited love, but considering the age difference, it was a crime.
Maybe he’s trying to be Adele’s father.
Although if Adele found out, she might try to kill her herself.
That’s how Bunta understood what Lotos was trying to do.
“You sometimes do useless things.”
“Bunta, it’s just because you’re ignorant. Have you ever seen the Grand Duke’s expression as he looked at that person? Is it different from usual?”
“You are handsome. good at fighting How many times have you met such a person? I think it’s the first time I can remember.”
They’re the same age, and they have similar tastes.
Irona had never seen anyone move so naturally with Adele.
I had seen Adele lead the mercenaries, but people who were simply good-looking were often crushed by Adele’s hand.
I didn’t think this encounter was bad.
It would have been more natural if there hadn’t been someone making a fuss.
At the sight of Irona, who smiled bitterly for a moment, Lotos shook his shoulders.
“If you just leave it alone, you’ll find out. I don’t think we need to bother.”
People who remember Adele’s childhood always talked about the loneliness of a girl who hadn’t even reached adulthood.
A girl who lost her father at a young age and heard the news that her father died when she achieved everything.
He doesn’t smile, he likes to be alone.
There were quite a few people who felt sorry for the girl who was fanatically obsessed with interest.
That kind of person now laughs well, and sometimes gets jealous.
Aside from the fact that Robert Taylor is a good man,
Those who have seen one handful of times Adele laughed so hard have no choice but to view the relationship positively.
There was no need to make a fuss about it.
It’s just that, if it were originally, I’d already met the mate I should have already been.
However, it was frustrating because they didn’t show their feelings to each other.
However, there is no need to force it to appear.
When the time comes, I thought it would happen naturally.
When Bunta looked at Lotos, Lotos, who came to his senses at the overbearing gaze, smiled bitterly.
“Okay, this time I’ll just be quiet. But you’re not telling us to stay still, are you?”
“You were the only one who was hit while making a fuss last time.”
“I later found out why they tried to drop me at the festival. I never thought I would have done it so that the two of us would be alone.”
Irona gave a small smile at Bunta, who burst into a sigh as if it was absurd.
I don’t know why. If left alone, the two of them will meet each other, but if there is a destiny, that is the case.
Like the grand duke who met without any promise one day and became interested in it, Robert’s coming here must be part of that fate.
“Anyway, I think we should go now. Time to arrive soon.”
“Okay, then let’s go soon.”
When Irona woke up, Bunta, who got up with her, headed outside with Lotos.
There was no need to call Adele separately.
It was because Adele, who came out with all the preparations finished before she knew it, was already waiting a long way away.
I hope this time it won’t be as late as last time. Remembering Adele’s expression when Robert came last time, Irona smiled.
I had never seen such an anxious expression. Who would have thought that the Grand Duke of the world would be so impatient with a single man?
It was only then that I knew that Adele’s feelings were simply out of interest, but it seemed like it wouldn’t end well this time around.
how long did you wait for that Adele moved quietly as the wolf pack approached, raising dust from afar.
Irona, who stopped Lotos from following him, quietly stretched her index finger to her lips.
There was no need to interrupt this meeting.
It was enough to just watch and watch the grand duke, who had changed significantly from before.
A smile spread across Adele’s lips as she moved forward faster than anyone else.
He seemed to be trying hard not to laugh.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he met Robert’s eyes, a sight that everyone present could see.
“Hmm, too.”
“right? I don’t want to disturb you.”
A man and a woman smiling at each other was a rare sight in the North.
Especially if it was the grand duke who never smiled.
There was a fact that I realized in this special sight. Unlike usual, the wind is unusually warm.
The north wind, which always blows, had disappeared, and the south wind, blowing from far away, was driving a warm breeze and tickling my cheeks.
It’s an awkward season with this place, sometimes. The season I wished would just disappear.
However, there was no season worthy of that name like today, so Irona muttered quietly as she watched it.
“It is spring.”
Spring comes to the North too. It was the moment when I felt that fact a little bit.
