“ah… … ”
Euphemia, who was holding her breath in the enemy who looked down at her in the dark without saying a word, closed her eyes tightly when Ferzen reached out her hand.
“… … ”
But as frightened as it was, Ferzen just locked the door and moved his staggering body onto the bed.
“Do not stand still and come.”
Thought she wanted to sleep on the floor by herself, but the man didn’t seem to allow that, so Euphemia slowly approached Ferzen and laid her back with her back.
“Eupemia El Laurenne Ruerg.”
“why… … ”
“Get up.”
After all, I had no intention of sleeping peacefully.
Hearing Ferzen’s voice, Euphemia curled up with her small hand and curled up on the duvet.
“oh!”
But as if to show that it was a meaningless resistance, Ferzen reached out and forcibly lifted Euphemia’s upper body, then opened her mouth with a tone of anger.
“Make sure you sleep on the right pillow.”
With the help of digitization, Ferzen straightened the tilted pillow and laid her body down, hugging Euphemia’s waist with a more relaxed face.
“I don’t like it… … !”
Unlike his own, he was able to endure until his forearms were several times thicker and cramped his body.
But that night, when he was forced to spend the night, when the large hand that lightly tapped and pressed his hair came into the hem of his robe, Euphemia gasped and twisted her body.
“Stay still.”
“Ah, evil… … !”
Eupemia trembled and grabbed Ferzen’s wrist with her own hand as if pleading with her, as she trembled and begged at the hand that gripped her chest tightly without any consideration, enough to cause tears to come out of her eyes.
“To feed you… … Do you know how much trouble I’ve been through Be patient with this.”
I don’t know what you mean.
Since she was Euphemia who could not even understand the meaning of those words, she could not figure out what to answer.
And Ferzen, who didn’t want to understand, buried her head in Euphemia’s neck, exhaled a hot breath, and gently wiped her body as if she was stroking expensive pottery.
In general, people feel a sense of comfort and peace of mind when they look at the fresh green color, and for Ferzen, Euphemia was such a being.
As soon as the drunkenness that covered the body, the fatigue from using magical powers, and the mental stress that suppressed the obsessive-compulsive seizures were slowly relieved by Euphemia, Ferzen did not resist the rushing drowsiness and left herself comfortably.
* * * * *
There was a moment’s desire to escape, but it was even more terrifying to see this sensitive man open his eyes with a hangover-filled spirit, so Euphemia sighed softly.
“… … ”
Ferzen’s hand on it moved gently, following his own stomach, which went up and down with his breath, and brushed past his navel.
Euphemia is trembling at the creepy sensation, but she clenched her teeth and forcibly closed her eyes, feeling pathetic that she reacted to every action without any intention.
So, the next morning, when Euphemia woke up to the rustling sound, what she saw was Ferzen, who had a hangover and frowned her brows but was tidying up her clothes without a single point of confusion.
“Are you awake?”
“… … ”
They weren’t close enough to exchange morning greetings, so Euphemia responded with a nod of her head.
“I told you to bring breakfast here. After dinner, I will take a bath and leave here.”
“okay… … ”
After speaking impatiently, Euphemia turned her head.
I thought it was a little uncomfortable, but it was pouring rain outside.
As I was looking out the window without thinking much, breakfast came in with a small knock, and dinner was unfolded before my eyes.
“Why?”
“I thought it was a little too much… … ”
“You seem to have a good appetite, so I talked about it separately.”
“… … ”
Euphemia is also a woman, and Ferzen’s words were not pleasant, but looking back on yesterday, it was so misleading that I started eating quietly without any objection.
After that, Euphemia, who simply filled her stomach and finished bathing, said goodbye to Baron Roberon and got into the carriage following Ferzen, who turned her back.
“When you arrive in Brutein, I will introduce you to a skilled tailor. Until then, just wear those ugly clothes. Because the aesthetic sense of the North is too focused on practicality… … ”
“It’s not ugly… … !”
“… … ”
Looking at Euphemia coming in even though the words had not been finished, Ferzen glanced at her with a blank face and said,
“It’s no good. It seems as if it is not visible as much as possible, but the seams are visible, and the color of the clothes is white, so it is cloudy enough to be hard to see.”
“This… … !”
“okay. Maybe it was because I didn’t have money. I understand enough. But Euphemia. I’m sure you’ll be disappointed if you don’t really feel the clothes are ugly.”
“… … ”
“Those who do not know whether dirty things are dirty, those who do not know whether trivial things are trivial, those who do not know whether ugly things are ugly… … Those who lack such knowledge and knowledge are called lowly ones.”
The sound of rain pouring down, creating a gentle rhyme inside the carriage, mixed with Ferzen’s voice, and penetrated into Euphemia’s ears again and again.
Obviously, I thought I had lived a life without a single point of shame.
Why does his life have to collapse so wretchedly at the kick that he trampled on without any resistance?
Because of this, Euphemia clenched her teeth and raised her head.
I tried to object to whether there is a problem with your culture and insight, who made me your wife, by not denying that it was lowly, but rather accepting it… …
“Don’t be mean. The act of trying to protect one’s self-respect for a reasonable point only makes the person uglier.”
As if he had read it beforehand, Euphemia finally lowered her head at his words that put an end to it.
* * * * *
‘I’m going to die of a headache.’
Things worked out in the way that Seojin Lee’s ego and Ferzen’s ego were mixed… …
No, to be honest, at this point, it would be silly to say that Seo-jin Lee’s ego had the upper hand.
Obviously I thought so at first.
But even for the ego who lived three more years, it wasn’t intense.
Seo-jin Lee’s ego, whose boring, boring, and tiring daily life was painted like a chat wheel, could not completely suppress Ferzen’s ego.
To be precise, it would be right to say that Seojin Lee’s ego was gradually colored by Ferzen’s ego.
Of course, Lee Seo-jin’s ego gave her own change in ethics as she is a modern person.
As for other parts, it is overwhelmingly felt that Ferzen’s ego occupies a large share.
To be honest, even the standards for dividing the two selves and calling them separately seemed to be getting more and more vague.
Actually, I feel the need to apologize to Euphemia in some way for the previous conversation and improve the relationship, but I don’t feel sorry.
As an aristocrat, I couldn’t have enough formality, so I just gave a discipline, so why should I apologize?
Of course I thought so.
For this reason, I shut my mouth firmly, thinking that if I gave an artificial apology to make Euphemia feel better, it would only make bad words come out or make it worse.
Shoot!
Passing through the pouring rain, the carriage moves quietly.
* * * * *
Central – Brutein.
People call this place the birthplace of ores.
This is because many mines in which various ores were found were found, and since there were as many as six iron mines, it was safe to say that if the iron price of Brutein went up, war luck would be on the line.
In metallurgy, it is truly first-class.
A reputable blacksmith in Brütain earns enough money to close the shop for a month with just six or seven orders.
“You can’t take your eyes off me. Is it strange?”
“Rice, not really… … ”
During the time it took to reach Brutein through the North, Euphemia seemed to have become very familiar with the existence of the country.
To be precise, I would say that I resigned.
So, after leaving Baron Roberon’s estate, there was no special accident.
“I have business in the morning, so I will show you around Brutein in the afternoon. I must have been quite suffocating because I was only in the wagon.”
“If you have a business… … just put it in the middle Because I can watch by myself. It’s okay if you don’t care.”
“The only time you can refuse my consideration is when you are sick. Still, if you close your eyes for once, it’ll be fine to stay in one place all the time after the business is over. I’m a Brute at the same time, so there’s no need to notice… … ”
“Oh no!”
“Express yourself properly.”
It wouldn’t have mattered if he hadn’t shown his dislike of being together. Is it because he’s too immature at hiding his emotions, or is this Ferzen’s body too clever? …
“All, you and… … I want to visit this place together… … ”
“Good job.”
As if praising the dog for carrying out the command, I reached out and stroked Euphemia’s green hair.
Even though I didn’t mix with her on the way, I was squeezing her whole body as much as I did, so it seems that my vigilance about physical contact has broken down a lot.
And I felt subtly satisfied with the sight, as if I was looking at an object that had been used for a long time.
Cheeky!
A carriage stopping slowly.
Bump!
Soon after, the door opened from outside, and Chris, the butler of the Bruteins, greeted us with a friendly smile.
Chris is a person whom Fersen has a great affinity for.
“Welcome back.”
Because he was bald and didn’t care about symmetry.
“Is your brother there?”
“Yes. The Lord is in the office.”
“Then I’ll leave Euphemia to you.”
“All right.”
I took the first step and entered the mansion, walked straight to the office, knocked twice, and waited patiently.
Before leaving for the north for Euphemia, Fersen had made a special request to his older brother, the current head of Brutein.
Soon, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice from inside said, “It’s okay to come in.” answered, I turned the doorknob and went inside.
“It’s been a long time. little brother.”
“You still look healthy.”
They were having a normal conversation, but Jeremiah, the older brother of Fersen and the current head of Brutein, was turning his back.
Because he was the one who almost committed murder when he was a child because of obsessive compulsive disorder due to symmetry.
“I know it’s okay now, but this will give me the courage to face you, so please understand.”
“You don’t have to ask me to understand.”
Jeremiah is Odd-Eye.
So, as a child, Ferzen tried to cut Jeremiah’s pupils out with a knife several times, and for that reason, he had been imprisoned for nearly half a year.
The reason why there is no problem now is because the blue pigment in Jeremiah’s right eye has grown so much that it harmonizes with the red eye on the left during the half-year of being imprisoned.
Perhaps even if he succeeded in cutting out the pale blue eyes with the pale blue pigment at that time, which was out of harmony and imbalance, Ferzen would probably even try to dig it out, saying that he didn’t like having only one eye.
“The body of Isabel Ron-Pierre Genova… … ”
“Of course, we succeeded in winning the bid. There is no place where you can stamp us down with your wealth.”
Isabel Ron Pierre Genova.
An infamous pleasure killer, and an upper world–Apollyon-class elemental wizard.
Exactly 26 years ago, before Ferzen was born, he was captured and killed, and his body was kept in the Imperial Palace.
And the Genoese Countess was a family that was wiped out cleanly just because a witch named Isabelle was born into the world, and now does not exist.
“I’m happy.”
Isabel’s body was put up for auction by the imperial family, and as that time coincided with the time in the north, it was inevitably entrusted to Jeremiah, the head of the household, to represent it.
The value of being an Apollyon-class elemental wizard was high enough, but Ferzen was more greedy at the time because she was an elemental wizard who could transform magic into electric current.
In general, magic could be broken, but the speed of light is something that humans cannot resist even if they fly and crawl.
Interference is necessary for destruction, but there is no time to interfere, so it is best to prepare in advance.
Therefore, it is a blessing from heaven to be able to transform magic into electric current for elemental wizards.
“but… … ”
“Did you have any problems?”
“It is vague to call it a problem. Because the youngest daughter of Viscount Rosenberg paid twice the price of the winning bid, so she just asked her to sell it.”
“The gold wouldn’t rot that much.”
Rosenberg.
A sanctuary of culture and art.
The place where Brutein’s craftsmanship was reduced to second-rate.
It is not a place that lacks money, but it is a place that cannot be compared to Brutein with financial resources.
In the first place, in order to show off well to the imperial family, he would have deliberately recruited other noble families to ask for a wind chime, and then bought it at a bubble price.
“Of course, they said that the payment method would be in installments.”
“I am not interested.”
“and… … If you refuse, I asked you to tell me these words.”
“?”
“I will challenge your black magic on equal terms.”
I thought it was some kind of unheard of bullsh*t, but a memory from 4 years ago suddenly came to mind.
At that time, Ferzen was applied for a realization battle under equal conditions to increase her reputation as a warlock.
So at that time, Fersen said that if there was anyone who could defeat him, he would give him a request in the name of the Brutein family, but that’s probably what he meant.
“It’s crazy.”
If nothing else happens, the youngest daughter of Viscount Rosenberg will enter the academy, where she will take classes from me, who will become a professor of black magic.
“Are you in Brutein now?”
When a prospective student, whom I had never seen before, already revealed his cute aspiration to try a cheongsam, I wanted to see that face right away.
