130 – Scene 130# Lookout
*
“miss! It’s not possible!”
Blanche was sweating.
To stop the lady she serves, Bella Isaachel.
“a. Because it’s okay.”
“I’m not okay!”
Bella, who went straight to school after going to paradise, arrived in front of the director’s office.
It was Blanche who blocked the tightly closed door.
“What you are about to do is a crime.”
“I’m just going to borrow the Count’s reading pass.”
What Bella needs is a library, a special reading pass for the Wall of Truth. Only Tristan, the owner of the library, had it.
Blanche cleared her throat and said.
“Borrowing requires the consent of the other party to be established. Borrowing without consent is theft-”
“Blanche.”
“Yes?”
“What kind of relationship did you say between me and the Count?”
Blanche reluctantly answered Bella’s question.
“… … You said more than a lover and less than a couple.”
“I remember it well. Then, if you are more than a lover and less than a couple, you can borrow each other’s things without saying anything. Isn’t it?”
“no… . that… .”
Blanche, who was about to say where such a coercion was, had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
Bella wasn’t trying to get her consent, he was giving her unilateral notice.
“Don’t worry, I’ll check the basement library for the book you’re looking for and return it. There will never be anything for Blanche to worry about.”
“miss… .”
Blanche thought.
What Bella is looking for with her reading card is not an ordinary book. A book that contains curses powerful enough to be handed down from generation to generation.
Presumably, the reason Bella is trying so hard is to lift the curse on the Count.
It wasn’t that he didn’t know Bella’s heart. But Blanche, who had been abandoned once by Tristan, was not convinced.
Is the man really a human being who deserves it?
Tristan was still a man with many things to hide.
Still, no one knew what purpose he was hiding.
Not too long ago, Blanche confirmed it with her own eyes.
Even the emperor couldn’t touch Tristan carelessly.
Even when he was surrounded by the royal guards in the imperial palace, he never addressed the emperor with respect.
He didn’t even kneel, and rather overwhelmed the emperor with his head held stiff all the time.
It was a scene where you can clearly feel what position Tristan is in the Empire.
That’s why he was such a dangerous man.
Blanche wanted to keep Bella away from him.
However, as an escort knight, he had no power to stop Bella. then… .
‘At least I’ll protect you at all costs… .’
In the end, Blanche obediently sympathized with Bella.
“… If you say so, I won’t stop you. If you make that decision, my lady, I will only comply.”
“Whoops… . thanks.”
Bella stroked Blanche’s hair and said with a benevolent face.
“Our Blanche. That’s nice. nice.”
“I am not a child.”
“I know. But what about something cute in my eyes?”
“I’m not cute at all… .”
“That’s what’s cute.”
“Kuhm… . There is no time. Come on in.”
Blanche easily opened the door.
Seeing this, Bella tilted her head.
“what? Wasn’t the door locked?”
“ah… .”
Blanche wanted to ache.
As a former assassin, one of her specialties is unlocking lock spells.
I inadvertently opened the door, so I decided to pretend.
“Ah, yes. It seems the Count forgot.”
“Huh… . The man also had this kind of smacking side. Cute too.”
“Yes… . It sure is cute.”
“Yes?”
“ah? ah?! That’s not what I meant, it was definitely a hit!”
“Hmm… ?”
Looking at Blanche, who hurriedly shook her head, with strange eyes, Bella went into the office.
“Whoa… .”
Somehow, I lost my energy.
Is it because of the tension?
Or is it because I feel secure in this life?
I thought I had always kept my cool.
But lately, it seemed like there was a small gap in the tight emotions.
Blanche looked out the window.
Snow was falling over the campus.
After staring at the beautiful quiet scenery for a while, she slapped her cheek with the palm of her hand.
“Let’s calm down… .”
It was a lot of fun to watch the scenery in peace.
One of the important things Blanche learned during her time as an assassin was not to have unnecessary emotions.
Carelessness comes from the gap of emotions.
All she needs right now is loyalty to Bella.
In order to repay the favor that has been given to the Isakhel family, they must throw away useless emotions.
And, though she hates to admit it, it was the man who always messed with her feelings.
“Tristan… .”
Blanche bit her lip.
The boy who shot her off the cliff was melted in his skinny face.
No, she didn’t even know. Are you resentful of the boy or do you miss him?
I had sworn to kill him.
But now, I no longer have the confidence to do so.
The blade of hatred she sharpened was becoming dull as time passed.
In this case, the answer is to ignore it.
When Bella comes out of her office, let’s get out of here.
The answer is to get as far away from him as possible.
yes. that’s for the best
It was the moment when Blanche, who had thought so, let out a sigh.
again.
“… … !”
When I raised my head at the sound I heard from afar, I saw a human figure in the distance.
again.
The woman walking down the aisle with her high heels ringing was Helga.
He was one of the most powerful men Blanche met and was also the strongest shield to protect that man.
Of course, Helga was walking with the black scion.
“It must have been still early… .”
Blanche, recognizing the man, could only mutter like a moan.
“Why now… .”
Tristan was approaching like a lie.
*
The knight of the SS left a telegram from the emperor and told him to come to the imperial palace tomorrow night.
It was bland to have come all the way here, but it was good.
“It’s nice to come this early.”
“Well.”
said Helga as they walked with me down the quiet corridor.
“I miss you. It feels like I went back to my school days with the Count.”
“… I don’t remember spending my school days with you.”
“That is what it means. hehehehe… .”
Helga, who had been laughing so hard, suddenly stopped.
“… oh? Why is that woman?”
A woman was walking from the other side.
It was surprising that he came to school at this time, but he was a face I knew.
“good morning… is. Count.”
It was Blanche, a beauty with a cold impression.
“It’s early. What’s going on?”
“Uh, that’s… .”
She hesitated and said something to me.
“Ha, could you please guide me around the school?”
“School… ?”
what is this again
“Yes.”
“Are you asking me to do that?”
“That, that… .”
Blanche blurted out.
Something is strange.
It’s the first time I’ve seen her like this.
Helga must have thought the same thing as me.
“… Have you been drinking?”
“no.”
“Then, where are you sick?”
“no.”
“Oh, then what?? ah?! Are you crazy?”
“… I am completely sober right now.”
At that, Helga asked with a shocked face.
“Blanche. Do you know what you are talking about?”
“Yes.”
“What are you asking the Count? Do you think the Count is a tour guide of some kind? If the school wants to be guided like that, I… .”
“no. I want to be guided by the Count!”
Blanche told me with a desperate face.
No, looking back, she’s not desperate.
That must be a face hiding something.
I sneakily decided to take a look at her.
“I don’t know why, but I am not your friend. I’m going to the office now, so get out of there.”
“Go, don’t go!”
“No… ?”
“ah… . It’s not… .”
Cold sweat was running down Blanche’s forehead.
Convinced by that, I opened my mouth.
“… Time is money to me.”
I stared at Blanche with a solemn face.
“If you keep trying to interrupt my golden hour, you will have to pay for that sin with money.”
“… !”
Blanche was taken aback, perhaps remembering the debt she owed me.
Her trembling shoulders showed her emotions instead.
I tried to ignore her and walk past her.
“Yeah, but no way! Give me some time!”
Blanche blocked me again.
She even felt spleen.
But it was of no avail to me.
“You are persistent. Hello.”
“Yes.”
It was just that, but it was enough.
Helga put her hand on Blanche’s shoulder in a friendly way.
“I will guide you.”
“No, let go!”
Blanche was immobilized by Helga’s tremendous strength.
“Count… ! You can’t go!”
“Hey. Trust only this sister and follow her. Cutie.”
“Who is the pretty one! Let go!”
Hearing Blanche’s screams, I opened the door to the office.
