proposal.
proposal.
Miso Gong sat on the rocking chair and waited patiently for me to sit down.
‘killing?’
Mother’s brilliant deduction that he was just senile, but he was pretending to be fine.
no way. It can’t be.
As I sat down on the chair prepared next to him, Miso Gong slowly opened his mouth.
“I borrowed Martin’s help to find out a little about you.”
A confident declaration that I investigated your background. The misogynist continued to speak slowly.
“They really appeared like a comet and did all sorts of good things, right? I don’t know about you who rushed away as soon as you finished your business, but there are a lot of people who were left behind on the road you passed who praised your name.”
‘Kill and kill.’
‘yes. yes.’ While my mother was delighted as if it were my story, I smiled and answered the misogynist.
“I just did what I had to do.”
“People who take a step forward when they are supposed to do something are truly amazing. There…”
Despite his advanced age, his golden eyes still glistened brightly at me.
“If that one step is for the sake of others, it is beyond great and deserves respect. A person cannot easily take a step even for himself.”
“I didn’t do it with such a lofty intention.”
‘killing!!!’
A cry that the sublime is absolutely right.
‘Kill kill!’
The cry was followed by a grumbling that he had to go down the troublesome road because he was told to indulge in moderation every time.
While I was patting my breast pocket, a smiley ball hurriedly threw words at me.
“I heard you and my daughter are quite close.”
“Cool.”
Clearing my throat briefly, I felt the need to quickly deliver the right information before this misunderstanding escalated.
“You are all mistaken. The princess and I are not related at all.”
The misogynist slowly turned his head to look at the crackling fire in the fireplace. The brightest light in the room surrounded by these curtains.
He stared at the flames for a while before opening his mouth.
“Dacia. I heard that he visits your room every night. In very comfortable clothes.”
“Koo kuluk!”
No, how the hell do you know that story?
Dakia was coming to play with her mother, but others who didn’t know that fact were enough to misunderstand that Dakia came to my room.
In a situation like this, what should I say to the misogynist to understand?
No, I wanted to say that the God I serve was watching with both eyes wide open, so I wanted to say that the kind of thing you are thinking right now never happened, but it was extremely stupid to think that the Northern Kingdom’s only four lord would believe a story that even a passing dog wouldn’t believe.
In addition, the very existence of the mother was also classified.
What if I heard that the lord of the Northern Kingdom and my only daughter visited the room of an unknown man every night?
It’s not easy. It’s never easy, but this
I quickly looked into the eyes of the smile ball. He was staring at the burning fireplace, showing no particular emotion.
Surely you’re not imagining pushing me into that fireplace behind that calm face…?
The fact that there was such a possibility made me break out in a slight cold sweat.
If they tried to push me into the real fireplace, would I have to beat Dacia’s father and run away?
While all sorts of complicated worries came to mind, the smiley mouth opened again.
“Hearing that story, I thought it was just right.”
“yes?”
How are you?
He took his eyes off the fire in the fireplace and opened his mouth slowly as he looked at me.
“Take my daughter Dacia and leave Beatus. I will take care of it so that I can live comfortably wherever I go.”
I looked at the smile ball and smiled.
“I don’t understand what Mr. Smile is saying to me. Can you explain a bit more?”
“I want you to eat well and live well with my daughter. However, that place has to be somewhere other than Beatus. I will take care of the marriage with the prince of the Dragon Kingdom.”
“Then, the princess’s position is…”
“Of course, that Dakia child has to give up her right to succeed to the family. And you tell me not to return to Beatus again. Because there is no place for him anymore.”
Are you asking me to leave the house because I hate the engagement and to disappear happily instead of running wild to regain the right to succeed?
I responded to his words with a smile on my face.
“I don’t like it.”
“I don’t like it…”
A ray of sharpness was tamed in the dark eyes of the smiling artist Carlto Irmel.
“It’s not that bad of a condition for you, is it? I think that the child with my blood flowing in it has enough off-white color to be proud of anywhere. And let me tell you.”
The misogynist spoke to me in a low voice. His voice was full of arrogance as a high lord.
“Do you really think you have a choice? No, do you think Dacia has a different option? The child, who has no proper foundation as a ‘wizard’, remains here and covets the position of the head of the family? Can that meaning come true? No one would want that child to become the lord of this land.”
He might be right. Just as Misogong said, Dakia has no foundation here and is also a ‘sorcerer’ that nobles do not welcome.
but.
I looked straight at the smile ball and opened my mouth.
“I will gladly support the princess if she wants to remain in this manor and take over the position of the head of the household, and if the princess wants to leave with me, I will gladly accept that as well. To be clear, these ‘choices’ are not my own. Princess Dacia is doing it ‘directly’ with her perfect will.”
His methods are wrong. Completely wrong.
I smiled softly and told him.
“Even if Miss Princess really wants you to leave this estate, you should have said that directly to your daughter, not me. So I’m going to pretend I haven’t heard of any of the suggestions you’ve given me so far. Besides, isn’t it a very unsuitable proposal for a woman, one of the only four great lords of the Northern Kingdom, to make to a foreigner?”
Looking at the hard expression of Miso Gong, he added a light comment.
“I’m really sorry that I couldn’t give you the answer you were looking for.”
“Won’t you regret it?”
“no.”
I replied with a light smile.
“I already regret it. I fear the hardships that will follow me for daring to reject the Highlord’s offer. Still, shouldn’t I have to say something? Because to me who serves God, there is only one person who is above me.”
The smile ball buried itself in the rocking chair and said lightly.
“I don’t think you’re afraid of me at all, do you?”
“It must be your mood.”
“That is an extremely unconvincing answer.”
The smiley ball, slumped weakly in the chair, gave off an atmosphere like a deflated balloon, wondering where the momentum from earlier had gone.
“The reason I didn’t tell Dacia directly is very simple.”
“For what reason?”
“I don’t know him well because I’m not a kind father, but I know some things because I’ve seen him. Dakia is a child who bounces harder the more you press it. If I ask the child to give up and leave, Dakia will surely burn even more in her desire to become the head of the household.”
A thin, thin finger pointed at my face.
“That’s why I called you to talk to you instead of telling my daughter directly. Don’t you know too well Even if Dakia remains here, she will never be able to become the ‘head of the family’. Even if a miracle happens and he becomes the head of household, no one will welcome him. That life will never be easy. You won’t be happy either. In the first place, the position of the high lord is not very good. So I hope you can convince Dakia well.”
I stared blankly at his face. The smiley face was full of deep tiredness.
“May I dare ask you a rude question?”
“You’ve already been rude enough, and it wouldn’t change anything if I had to add a little rudeness here. tell me.”
“From what I heard, I heard that you have not been very interested in your daughter. Why did you suddenly change?”
“It’s just an old man’s whim. Is there any particular reason? As you get older, things change. I bet you do too. Let’s go out and see I hope you don’t listen to me carelessly. I’m sure it will be for my daughter’s benefit to leave this Beatus as soon as possible.”
obvious congratulations. There was no reason why there should be more.
“Then let’s go.”
Just before I got up from my chair and left the room, I heard a low voice from the smile worker behind me.
“Don’t tell Dacia that I’m awake. no don’t tell anyone Got it? Just say that a senile old man called you on a whim and suffered a lot. Can you please do me a favor like this?”
I replied with a smile.
“I will.”
“Thank you. Now go for real.”
“I hope you are always safe.”
After a short greeting, I left the smiling master’s room. Right before I left, I turned around and saw an old man staring at the fireplace alone in a dark room.
***
Shortly after Marnak left. The window opened and two women, white and black, walked into the room.
The first apostle, ‘Advancing Ireth’, slowly opened his mouth towards Miso Ball.
“Carto Irmel.”
The smile ball slowly turned its head to look at Iret and answered.
“You used to be my knight, but now you call me by name.”
The third apostle, the revered Adora, who was standing next to Iret, replied in a light voice.
“Because it’s not anymore. Doesn’t it matter?”
Carlto Irmel laughed bitterly and buried himself in the chair as he answered.
“Well, that’s it too.”
Ilette asked him.
“Are you ready?”
The second apostle of the fallen god, ‘Looking Back,’ said in a low voice.
“All preparations will be finished soon. wait a minute please Just for a moment.”
He wanted his daughter to leave Beatus as soon as possible.
Of course, if you don’t leave, it’s a story that can’t be helped.
***
“No, I hate it!”
“why?! Why?!”
“In the first place, I have no intention of marrying you! And I didn’t come to see you today?”
Back at Douggle Martin’s office, I saw Dacia arguing with the bright yellow-haired prince I had seen before.
Dacia checked my face and quickly moved to stand next to me.
“Then I’ll go. have a good day. Prince Batis. I am really sorry about the engagement!”
Bright yellow eyes glared at me with blazing eyes. He shouted as if screaming with a reddened face.
“It’s you again!!! Marnak!!!”
I replied with an awkward smile.
“Yes, I am Marnak, but…”
