104 – It’s noisy. Let’s solve it with ○○.
Evan came out of the room after meditation.
Evan served a meal to Cynthia and Juri who suddenly visited.
Even at the eve, the two of them suddenly came.
Evan wasn’t that unfamiliar.
After a while.
Evan listened to Cynthia while eating breakfast.
“Evan, I’m finally asking… “Are you thinking of getting engaged?”
Cynthia sat down at her table and carefully spoke her words.
Because Evan entered into a preliminary engagement with the Marquis of Ashur.
Cynthia thought Evan was thinking about getting engaged after all.
“Gulp.”
Evan swallowed her porridge and glanced at Cynthia.
It’s an engagement.
I got engaged because I didn’t want to get caught up in a relationship with the opposite s*x.
Evan said.
You can tell Cynthia the same thing.
“Nothing.”
“Huh?”
Cynthia looks surprised.
Cynthia couldn’t understand Evan’s words.
“B, but…” “Didn’t you have a preliminary engagement with Her Excellency, the Marquis of Ashur?”
“She had been bothered by marriage talks, so she only entered into a preliminary engagement with the Marquis of Ashur. “I’m not particularly interested in engagement or marriage.”
It is better to practice during married life.
Even though Evan was taught by Maya and began to look around.
This idea has not changed.
“……….”
Cynthia felt like she had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
All this time, she thought Evan was in love with Marquis Ashur.
She thought they would become engaged.
No.
Wasn’t it simply a contract to avoid marriage?
“Uh… ….”
Cynthia opened her mouth slightly.
Joy rises.
Evan is not in a relationship with someone yet.
His love has not yet been directed to someone else.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t Cynthia also have a chance?
Cynthia felt helpless joy.
“So you came here to ask that?”
Evan’s voice awakens Cynthia’s consciousness.
Cynthia was pulled out of her thoughts.
‘I made a stupid expression by mistake.’
Cynthia blushed and hid her expression.
‘I came to tell Evan about my parents’ marriage.’
Cynthia reflected on her own purpose.
Cynthia came to tell Evan about Gramberge’s marriage.
Selene will come to get engaged to Evan.
What do you think, Evan?
To check Evan’s feelings.
‘…… Evan said he had no interest in getting engaged or getting married.’
Evan just said.
He says he is not interested in getting engaged or getting married.
Cynthia felt a bittersweet feeling along with relief.
It felt as if her own chances were becoming slimmer.
“…… In that case, even if you were asked to marry from Gramberge, would you refuse it?”
Cynthia hinted at getting to the point.
Evan frowns slightly.
Are you saying that I’m getting divorced again?
“Did you send a wedding message from Gramberge?”
“Maybe… “I believe a letter from the matriarch will arrive soon.”
At Cynthia’s words, Evan slightly clicked her tongue.
She didn’t like marriage talks, so she signed a preliminary engagement with Cornelia.
I can’t believe I’m talking about getting married again.
“Benefactor!”
Even a tiger will come if you say so.

Just then, Cornelia and Rose came in wearing hoodies.
Cornelia’s real face is visible only to Evan through facial disguise magic.
Cornelia stopped when she saw Cynthia.
I came to my benefactor because of Gramberge’s marriage talks.
There was a person from Gramberge at the benefactor’s table.
Cornelia knew Cynthia.
“……….”
“……….”
Cornelia and Cynthia’s gaze intertwined in the air.
Uncomfortable feelings come and go.
Cynthia has leisure, Cornelia has impatience.
After her suffocating silence, Cynthia lowered her head slightly.
“…… Cynthia of Gramberge meets His Excellency the Marquis of Ashur.”
“…… Lady Cynthia, no… Should I say that I am the prospective matriarch of Gramberge? “I see you again after the eve.”
Greetings from nobles flowing back and forth.
At first glance, it looks ordinary.
There was a sense of caution inside both of them.
“If you didn’t eat breakfast, it costs two.”
Evan sat Cornelia and Rose down.
You can’t leave guests standing up.
If it were Evan in the past, he wouldn’t have cared who came.
After receiving Maya’s teachings, I am a little concerned.
“Please eat some bean porridge!”
Michael smiled cheerfully and handed the bean porridge to Cornelia and Rose.
The table became crowded.
The group ate the bean porridge in silence.
Evan let out a small sigh.
“Marquis of Ashur… “I guess you also came because of Gramberge’s marriage talks?”
“Yes? Ah… yes “Benefactor.”
Cornelia has been hit hard.
Cornelia confirmed Evan’s feelings and came to stop Gramberge’s marriage talks.
She was watching to see when to speak.
Fortunately, the benefactor got to the point.
Evan said as he placed his spoon on the bowl he had finished eating.
“I will refuse marriage talks. “I have a preliminary engagement with the Marquis of Ashur.”
It’s not that difficult.
There is already a pre-existing person named Ashur.
There is no reason for him to receive Gram Berge.
It won’t be a disgrace to Gramberge either.
Cornelia’s complexion brightened at these words, and Cynthia felt sick.
Cynthia thought.
If things continue like this, wouldn’t the possibility of Cynthia becoming connected to Evan in the future also disappear?
That’s…… Hate.
“Giving a chance is… “What about it?”
Cynthia opened her mouth with difficulty.
It is not good for Cynthia if Gram Berge’s marriage talks are blocked like this.
“…… Gramberge’s marriage partner is also the one.”
As Evan frowned in anticipation, Cynthia’s face turned red.
Cynthia quickly made an excuse.
“Well, it’s not me! “It’s Selene.”
“…… Is that so.”
Evan was puzzled.
She honestly thought Cynthia, who was older, was her opponent.
Gramberge’s marriage partner was Selene.
“It’s not dignified to bring up something that has already been decided.”
Cornelia’s voice resonates quietly.
Cynthia bit her lip in response to the incoming checks.
As expected, the Marquis of Ashur does not sit still.
“…… Since Evan is not officially engaged yet, I think we have a chance.”
If Evan had said he loved the Marquis of Ashur.
Cynthia would have given up even though it broke her heart.
Evan does not love the Marquis of Ashur.
So, Cynthia caught her breath and opened her mouth to Evan.
“Maybe she says this because she is my sister. But Gramberge really means it. About her self-talk… “Can you think again?”
Cynthia said she honestly thought she would not be married to Selene.
Evan is not interested in her engagement.
Nevertheless, the reason Cynthia spoke out was for her own future.
I don’t know yet.
I don’t want to close the possibility of being with Evan.
“Hmm……….”
Evan was completely at a loss.
No matter how much I think about it, she doesn’t seem to need to break up her relationship now.
Are you asking us to think positively about marriage talks?
Cynthia continued.
“We at Gramberge have no intention of interfering with Evan’s training time. She can stop Evan from talking about getting married, just like the author did after Ashur. “Gram Berge is the most powerful among her writers, so her influence is stronger than that of Ashur’s writers.”
This part is not bad.
If she is looking for a prospective engagement, shouldn’t she stop Evan from talking about getting married?
Her training time is precious.
“Oppa! “How could it not work?”
Juri put her hands together and asked.
Juri, who guarded her mother’s grave.
Juri tended to support her Cynthia’s love.
Her actions now are also siding with Cynthia.
“Hmm……….”
Evan’s worries deepen.
“You keep repeating things that are over. “My benefactor already has the Marquis of Ashur.”
“Your Excellency the Marquis, I think Gramberge should also have a chance. “Until Evan gets officially engaged.”
Cornelia and Cynthia had a war of nerves with each other.
Cornelia and Rose become increasingly hostile.
There will be no end to this.
Evan thought of an alternative.
“Stop everything.”
Is there a desire to kick them out?
Evan endured.
To carry out the teachings of Maya.
Evan suggested a solution.
“I am not interested in marriage talks, but I am interested in strong women. Let’s decide by sparring. I will make a preliminary engagement again with the winner of Dalian. “If you want to make a preliminary engagement with me, participate in the sparring.”
The so-called single-talk tournament.
Evan honestly didn’t know why he was talking to himself.
If I had to do it, I wanted to get engaged to the strongest woman.
Everyone except Maya gaped at this unprecedented solution.

Selene smiles awkwardly in the carriage.
Selene wore a light blue dress that matched her hair color.
She had her hair down in a ponytail.
A white gown was draped over her shoulders to create a quiet atmosphere.
Anyone can see that she is the daughter of a noble family.
But Selene’s face was awkward.
“Uh, how long do I have to smile?”
“You should smile naturally, little lady.”
A servant who strictly educates Selene.
Selene twitched the corner of her mouth.
‘Oh, it’s uncomfortable.’
Selene studied noble etiquette when she was young.
As she began to walk her knightly path in earnest, she began to neglect it.
It was okay to not smile gently until now…….
“The little girl, her bright energy is attractive to men. Relax and lift the corners of your mouth in a refreshing manner. Now, smile.”
“Mi… “Iso.”
A servant smiling skillfully.
Selene felt uncomfortable as she forced herself to follow along.
Now Selene is riding her carriage and she is going to Evan’s mansion.
To break away from the light-hearted image that Selene has built up until now.
The attendants say that men feel excited when they see a woman’s change in appearance.
“Now is not the time to ask about marriage, little lady. Let’s gradually build up our goodwill and ask about marriage. Then you will accept what Sir Evan would refuse.”
The servant said additionally.
A strategy that digs into human psychology.
“…… Yes.”
It sounded quite plausible, so although Selene was uncomfortable with her gentle demeanor, she endured it.
Because she wanted to get engaged to Evan.
If she gets engaged to Evan, wouldn’t she be able to know more about him that she doesn’t normally know?
‘During the Humbaba competition.’
She wants to ask Evan why he helped her.
Why did she disguise herself as Moonlight?
Selene felt a surge of anticipation amidst her tightness.
Hee hee!
The carriage stops.
Robert, the teleportation wizard who was among the servants, came down with his parasol in hand.
“Little lady…… ! “I’m rooting for you today.”
“…… Thank you.”
Selene slowly comes down, holding the hem of her skirt.
Selene wanted to touch the corner of her mouth because it was sore, but she couldn’t even touch it because she was afraid her makeup would come off.
In front of Evan’s mansion.
Selene was nervous.
I wonder if Evan would look at me strangely.
She paid some attention today.
“The little lady is the most beautiful today.”
Robert praises Selene by putting a parasol on her.
“Thank you.”
Selene spoke and let go of her anxious mind.
Now that we’ve come this far, we can’t run away.
Selene closed her eyes and opened them.
Today is just a time to say hello to Evan.
There is no need to be that burdensome.
Selene gathered her composure and slowly took her steps.
“Let’s go.”
“Old.”
Selene and Robert walk inside slowly.
Selene and Robert stopped as soon as they entered the yard.
For some reason, Cynthia is armed to the point of murder.
Cornelia and Rose took up wands and swords.
The atmosphere feels as if a fight is about to occur.
“Uh…… ?”
Selene did not understand the situation.
Why is her older sister and the Marquis Ashur confronting each other in her yard?
Michael with a bright complexion spotted Selene and approached her.
“Ah, you’re here! Selene! Do you prefer a long sword or a rapier?”
Michael recommended Selene with a sword in her arms.
For self-talk sparring.
