142 – Feeling
From nob le mt l dot com
Navier followed Ross into the living room. She bowed her head slightly to her father, who was sitting in the seat of honor, greeting Lycan and Ross, and then Nabier, who sat in her chair, looked at Ross with shining eyes, pretending to be modest.
Ross frowned slightly as he drank the tea served by the maid while Lycan and Raellan were talking. Do you not like tea?
After Raelan finished her conversation with Lycan and elegantly took a sip of her tea, she immediately got to the point.
“Thank you so much for accepting the invitation, Ross. I didn’t expect her to come so soon. After experiencing the breathing method of the collateral, did the body heat up with the breathing method of the parent family?”
It was a sarcastic remark, but this was Raellan’s unique way of speaking. It was a way to catch mistakes by making the opponent emotional.
But Ross looked nonchalant and just nodded his head in response. No, rather, the melancholic figure that stimulated maternal love was a lie, and he demanded it confidently.
“Yes, thank you for inviting me. It would be a lie to say that I am not interested in the breathing method of my parents. I won’t talk around. The intangibles of the original family. Could you give it to me?”
At Ross’s direct words, Nabie quickly looked around her as if she was eating dessert. The lycan just sipped her tea with an expressionless face, and her father smiled with the corners of her mouth extended as if intrigued.
“You have a more straightforward personality than it looks.”
“I thought there was no need to round it up.”
Raellan rested her chin on Ross’ answer. As if observing her prey, she narrowly opened her eyes.
“Then I won’t talk back. If you want to get the intangibles of the original family, there is only one way. It’s about being part of a family. If you marry my daughter, Navier, all your problems will go away.”
When Raellan beckoned to Navier, she gave her the prettiest smile possible. She slightly pushed her upper body in front of her, bringing her arms together to accentuate the point of her dress.
Only then did Ross turn her head and look at Navier.
“Oh, I remembered. Third place?”
“It’s not third place, it’s Navie!!!”
She got up from her seat and yelled at Navier, angry at Ross for calling her third again.
She belatedly regretted it, but it already happened. Seeing her father’s cold gaze, Nabie quietly sat back down.
“Sorry, I couldn’t remember.”

Navier pouted her lips at Ross who smiled while saying that in her smirk.
‘I have to do wheat land as much as I can!’
I know it’s a male instinct to want to have the upper hand in a relationship. However, it was Ross who needed the intangibles of the parent family.

No matter how much he pushes and pulls, as long as there is an intangible on this side, Ross is an unavoidable ‘eul’.
As a commoner, he could be weak in such political conversations. He must have had little experience of having a conversation with an aristocrat, where a family apology was exchanged at every word.
When Navier was making her plans in her head, saying that if she got engaged, she would stick by her side and kindly tell her what she lacked one by one.
Ross turned her head to look at Raellan. Then she spoke in a voice without a single thought.
“Thank you for your offer, but I will decline it.”
The butterfly that reached for her car froze. She just heard what she was saying, she didn’t understand.
She looked at Ross with her quivering gaze, her hand in the air on her butterfly. Her profile alone was a lie, but she knew she wasn’t bragging.
Raellan asked, slightly frowning.
“Hmm, didn’t you want to get the intangibles of the original family?”
“I want to get it. I will be grateful if you give it to me.”
“… Are you saying you want to get the intangibles of your family, but you don’t want to get married?”
Raellan’s cold voice and blade-like gaze pierced Ross. But Ross nodded his head without wavering.
“I didn’t mean to be rude. We apologize for that. But I have someone I love now. I am so grateful for the marriage proposal, and it is too much for me. I have no choice but to refuse.”
Raellan’s face hardened coldly. Raellan, who had been glaring at Ross like a snake, turned her head toward her navier.
The butterfly that met her gaze shrugged her shoulders as if she were a rat in front of her snake. She then lowered her hand, which she was holding stupidly, under her table.
As Raellan questioned, she asked in a low voice.
“Is my daughter, Navier, less than her current girlfriend?”
“No.”
“Then is our Perlecus family lesser than her girlfriend’s family?”
“No.”
As soon as Ross finished speaking, magic power so powerful that the inside of her living room vibrated emanated from Raellan’s body.
The cup filled with tea trembled like an earthquake, and the contents spilled onto the table.
Feels like the air is choking your throat.
But Raellan just looked interested and asked, smiling like a snake.
“Then there is no reason to refuse.”
Ross answered in a determined voice, his blue eyes shining.
“Goals can never beat results.”
At Ross’ answer, the mana that seemed to weigh down the drawing room disappeared in an instant. While Navier coughed and coughed, Raellan just stared at Ross as if to explain.
As everyone in the drawing room looked at Ross’s face, Ross scratched his head shyly and said,
“The reason I want to be strong is for her girlfriend, Luna. I want to be with you for the rest of my life, because I want to protect you. Wanting to become stronger through intangibility is simply a goal to reach the end I want.”
After a pause, Ross continued his speech in a determined voice.
“Marrying someone other than Luna is not the outcome I want. Changing goals for results is easy. But the reverse is not possible.”
“It’s just a feeling that won’t last for a few years. Even if it’s next year, it’s a feeling that will cool off as if it never happened.”
Raellan tapped her table with her fingers and sarcastically.
However, Ross didn’t show a bad expression, but rather answered with a sincere smile.
“It can be. Because you don’t know what the human mind is. I know very well that I can’t help it even if we break up tomorrow. But for me, fear of tomorrow is not a reason not to love today. I love today’s Luna. That’s why I have to do my best every moment.”
She thought it was a calm voice. But when Navier heard Ross speak, her heart skipped a beat. Her heart pounded like it would break, as if she had run full force through the garden dozens of times.
On the one hand, she felt a strange sense of floating. It was the first strange feeling she felt. Many people expressed and wrote about this feeling, but Nabi wanted to deny it.
Her palms were wet with sweat, and her lips were dry for no reason. For some reason, when she looked at Ross, she felt like she couldn’t do it, so Nabi instinctively lowered her gaze.
She bit her lip in her shame, desperately wishing her father had stopped.
But no matter what she thought of Navier, Raellan did not give up.
“Hmm, then it sounds like you could give it a chance.”
Ross smiled and replied to Raellan, who was smiling greedily as if he would not let go of the fish he caught.
“Are you going to waste Navier’s life for an opportunity that will never come?”
At Ross’s words, Navie raised her head. It was a stupid answer. If she were noble, she would have nodded her head in gratitude for making a hole for Raelan’s words to slip through. Because lying was the basis of the nobility.
So I thought Ross’ answer was stupid. Maybe it’s because he’s a commoner who isn’t used to this type of conversation. But when she saw Ross’s blue eyes looking at her, she realized that it wasn’t for Nabi.
It was a calm gaze. She seemed to know what she was talking about. Ross wasn’t stupid. Rather, he answered that for Navier.
Again, a strange feeling throbbed in his chest. She couldn’t stop her fingers from twitching involuntarily, and squeezed her dress so hard that it creased.
Raellan’s expression became cold as ice. For a long while, silence settled in her drawing room, so that she could not even hear her breathing. Time seemed to stop for a moment.
Raellan finally opened her mouth in a heavy atmosphere that seemed to be suffocating.
“Do you know that the intangibles of the original family are divided into three stages?”
“I have heard the explanation from Master.”
Lycan, who let out a pleasant saliva at Ross’ answer, didn’t like Nabi for nothing.
“It’s just the first year, so it’s perfect. If you set aside time with my daughter once a month, on a date or sparring, I will tell you the intangibles of the parent family one step at a time as the grade goes up.”
Everyone looked at Raellan with surprised eyes. She even looked up pleadingly, biting her lip, with her face flushed red in her butterflies.
“I have no intention of forcing marriage. It’s just her father’s desire to invest in an outstanding student and make her a friend to Navier. How about it, don’t you think it’s a pretty reasonable suggestion?
Ross, who was looking at Raellan with a somewhat perplexed expression, looked at Navier.

Nabi couldn’t avoid that blue gaze, and she had no choice but to face it. She secretly gulps down her saliva, wiping her nervously damp palms on her dress… I was expecting an answer from Ross.
After a bit of trouble, Ross said while looking at Navier with a bitter smile and an apologetic look.
“Good.”
