044. The villainous lady’s nasty move (3)

‘I have to protect Zeke.’

It was Iriel’s thought as soon as he opened his eyes in bed.

“miss!”

“Are you okay!?”

Attendants and maids surrounded her and said.

“yes I’m fine. don’t mind. Would you like to leave at once?”

Iriel shook his arm and said.

“still… … . Seeing your primary care physician… … .”

The exclusive lady-in-waiting looked at Iriel and said.

“I asked you to leave.”

“Yeah… … .”

“Ah, you. When it’s mealtime, you bring me some bread.”

Iriel pointed a finger at the maid who was usually in charge of snacks.

“still… … . It’s not good to eat something like that right after you’ve collapsed… … .”

The exclusive lady-in-waiting commented again, but Iriel frowned and nodded.

“You, are you climbing up on your own just because I’ve been quiet lately?”

“… … !”

The lady-in-waiting, whose complexion turned white at those words, lowered her head and apologized.

“I’m sorry!”

“All out.”

That’s how I kicked all the servants out of the room.

When the maid returns with bread

Iriel said to the maid.

“Tell no one to come in for the weekend. If it’s mealtime for you, bring the bread.”

“… … Yeah.”

Crisp –

Iriel thought as he chewed on the warm bread he had just warmed up.

‘I can’t trust anyone now.’

The people in this mansion were all brought from the Justia family.

He must have planted one or two people.

I didn’t know who might be cheating on my aunt.

‘I’d rather make them think I’m heartbroken.’

As long as you’re determined to help Zeke

I didn’t want to spill even the slightest clue to my aunt.

‘By the way… … . how can i help… … ?’

Hella had already visited her and warned him in advance.

It’s as if I don’t want to interfere and interfere.

If we intervene hastily here, the worst outcome may await us.

“What I know how to do is… … .”

There was no

A few dagger skills that he hadn’t done since Zeke left.

and eating bread.

An aesthetic eye for clothes and jewelry.

A gastronomy that distinguishes between delicious and tasteless things.

An authoritative attitude as a superior.

Example of forcibly injected.

Small hair used to harass Serena… … .

There was only one ability that was lacking to help him.

Even if it helped, I didn’t even know how to use it.

He was willing to die for me

There is nothing I can do.

A deep feeling of helplessness.

Iriel closed her eyes to shake off her negative emotions.

‘Think, think. How can I help him?’

Well well.

Well well.

Well well.

Iriel chewed the bread without stopping.

I was chewing bread earlier and remembered Zeke’s past.

It was because I wanted to come up with something different this time, too.

I’ve been thinking deeply for a long time

After all, there was nothing Iriel could do alone.

Rather strangely, my emotions keep fluctuating

The guilt towards Zeke only deepened.

Tears flowed from Iriel’s eyes as he chewed the bread.

“Hey, why is this… … . No wait, why is this… … .”

The tears that once started to flow did not stop, dripping and soaking the bread.

His grave appearances in the past.

The faint smiles he laughed at.

And the words you said in a low voice.

Those eyes that looked only at me with deep trust.

– I will definitely protect you.

‘Why can’t I think of the method, but I only think of that man’s face! It’s like I like him!’

Iriel wiped away the tears with his hand and shook his head.

He has feelings of affection for Zeke.

I had no intention of denying this.

But not love or deep affection.

I just want someone to take my possessions at will

It’s just unbearable to be broken.

sniff-

“Zeke is a jewel. It is also my favorite.”

Iriel murmured with eyes bloodshot red.

Of course, he’s so stupid and honest that he’s trying to protect himself.

I was touched, but that was it, and this is this.

It was contradictory to say it after thinking about him and even fainting.

Iriel’s pride did not acknowledge this.

‘Ask someone else for help now?’

I thought about that too, but the moment I left the mansion or delivered a letter to someone

He could only see the future that would be in the hands of his aunt.

“What if I go to the academy class, secretly meet the young ladies and ask for help?”

Iriel remembered the people he had been close with.

All of them are noble ladies from families with lesser power than themselves.

her followers.

The Marquis of Romeie, the Marquis of Catherine, the Baroque… … . etc.

‘By the way, … … Would you join me in this dangerous affair and take my side? It’s something I could pretend to be with Justia… … ?’

In the meantime, I thought of the young ladies who acted as if they were going to give her liver and gallstones, but

Iriel was not sure.

Also, it wasn’t easy.

It was meaningless if Hela was not at least at the level of the imperial family or equivalent dukes to stop those who moved.

‘Imperial… … . duke… … . uh!?’

Iriel’s eyes widened at the sudden thought passing through his head.

Just then, the maid who brought bread for dinner knocked on the door.

Knock. Knock.

“I brought you dinner, my lady.”

“already… … ? come in.”

The maid opened the door and came in.

‘Does Aunt Hella really know?’

“How is my class on Tuesday?”

Iriel asked the maid with a nonchalant expression.

However, after shedding tears for a long time, her voice was wet.

“We have a common class in the morning. In common classes, etiquette, history, sorcery, and mathematics are scheduled.”

Iriel was famous for not memorizing her schedule.

If you were a servant of the mansion, it was essential to know the timetable so that you could answer whenever she asked about your schedule.

“…”

Iriel waited for the next words to come.

But the maid just stared at Iriel blankly.

Before the awkward silence was filled, Iriel opened his mouth.

“… … Mmm. like that. Didn’t you have an invitation for dinner?”

“Yes, the schedule for that evening is empty.”

“… … ugh, yes Then that day, I’ll have to go pick out the bread myself in the evening. look out.”

Then the maid bowed her head and left the room.

Kik thump.

Iriel touched his cheek to see if his tearful facial expression was broken.

“… … Didn’t you know that Zeke’s swordsmanship minor class was held that evening?”

Yes, if Hella knew this, there would be no way she wouldn’t have brought up the story when she came to Iriel.

There is the 2nd Prince Rosnante Leonine,

Count Yuri Gilbert, who was connected to the 1st Prince;

And… … . Because Serena and Joheiden were there too.

‘Come to think of it, all the other students filled out the course registration form and gathered in Zeke’s class… … .’

But it wasn’t Iriel.

The last day of his demonstration class.

Iriel had a memory dream with him the day before that in the basement as a child, and as if possessed, she found him haphazardly.

At that time, it was also a coincidence that I discovered that there was a shortage of one person for the class.

‘So I impulsively said that I would take classes with a minor. And after that, it was just the weekend.’

That’s why the people in the mansion still don’t know.

The only thing that knows is Zeke and those who take the class together.

‘Can I use this… … ?’

The first thing that came to Iriel’s mind was a silver-haired girl.

‘He’ll definitely try to protect Zeke if I hint at this… … .’

Her intuition as a woman spoke.

Serena has pretty deep feelings for Zeke.

aww

My teeth gnashed as I recalled the shameful image of him being hugged by Zeke with his face red again.

Soon, Iriel was able to smile leisurely.

“It’s stupid not knowing that I came to you to protect me. Oh, Zeke is cruel too… … .”

Iriel, who was convinced that it was him and not Serena, did not think of him as savage anymore.

On the contrary, when I think of him who was meticulous in the past, it was much more natural that way.

‘Perhaps he deliberately showed it in front of me. under. Zeke is also true.’

A sense of superiority that fills the chest.

He tapped his lips with his finger.

‘But if I let Serena Joheiden know that Zeke is acting to protect me… … . Wouldn’t you like to help?’

It was very sad.

Because I really wanted to see that face crumbling in despair while smiling stupidly pretending to have it all.

‘Then you’d better hide it. That way, they’ll be more desperate to protect it.’

Iriel did not feel any guilt for using Serena.

‘Next is the 1st Prince and the 2nd Prince… … .’

Do you flirt with the beauty world?

I thought about it for a second, but shook my head.

If there was a lot of time left, it was a story that was possible enough.

I had to make an offer to them right away in class on Tuesday.

Even if it was Iriel, it was difficult to capture it in a day or two.

‘Uh… … . What do we do… … ? No matter how much Prince 1 is in a relationship with Sieg, if he knows that Justia is targeting him, I think he can back off.’

However, Iriel did not know the diplomatic method of proposing something and cleverly taking advantage.

I just know that bigger money works better when I ask for a favor.

However, the money Iriel had right now seemed insufficient to buy their hearts.

‘I put half of it in to pay for tuition, and I don’t have much money left over from buying things… … .’

In fact, it was a story about whether the 1st or 2nd prince would choose to lose Chuck with Justia for paying money, but

Iriel was sure that if they handed over more money, they would surely be tempted.

‘Ah, that necklace!’

It was the size of 10 normal magic stones,

A red necklace with a beautiful shape and a rare color.

Considering its rarity, it was of enormous value.

I gave it to Zeke when I was drunk, but to be honest, I came back

It was a necklace that I couldn’t stop thinking about how wasteful it was.

‘When my father beat Serena three times, he said he did well and took him out of the treasure exhibition.’

Justia’s hatred for the Joheiden family was beyond imagination.

So, regardless of whether Iriel uses a naive trick or not, it doesn’t matter

I was very happy with the fact that I had defeated Serena three times and handed it to her.

‘If I had it, I’d be able to move not only the 1st prince, but also the 2nd prince.’

If Zeke could be saved, Iriel could give up the necklace as much as he could.

Because Zeke was his most treasured jewel.

‘So I have to ask for the necklace back.’

To be honest, asking him to give back what I once handed over to him is

It hurt my pride a lot, but

In the meantime, Iriel, who learned how Zeke had taken a cold attitude towards him,

He vowed to save Zeke even if he was petty and miserable once in a while.

‘But later… … . In this way, I will definitely collect the debt that made me ask the head of the flower garden. Zeke. And the price of the necklace!’

* * *

Three days later, during Zeke’s class.

“Um… the necklace I gave you three days ago… can you give it back…?”

She hesitated and said to Zeke.

“does not exist.”

Zeke briefly dismissed her words.

“Yes!? That’s why!”

“I haven’t used it.”

At his cold words, Iriel looked at Zeke with shaky eyes, then bit her hard lower lip and shed tears.

I tried to help him first.

This man immediately refuses.

He probably noticed that he was trying to do something.

He gets further away from me again and tries to protect me.

As if you don’t want to intervene.

‘What on earth did you use the necklace for?’

Even that ridiculous excuse sounded sad to Iriel.

‘You, why are you… … . I’m trying to handle it all alone… … . i’m going to help Zeke.’

back.

‘Are you not trusting me? Do you still see me as a young and stupid Iriel?’

Power went into the fist.

It seemed impossible to trade with the 1st and 2nd princes using the necklace.

‘I won’t let you die. Zeke. At least, I’ll use Serena Yoheiden!’

*

Ugh.

Ugh.

Iriel let out a heavy breath.

The training was really tough.

To the point where I want to give up right now.

It was a much tougher training than learning daggers from him.

But I couldn’t give up.

It was natural for Zeke to push himself away now.

Of the five students, Serena was the only one sitting comfortably meditating.

The other students saw it and all gnashed their teeth, but not Iriel.

It felt so good that he was trying to force himself to hate himself.

After Zeke was dealt with by the family

It was because the intention to lessen the guilt and hurt he would receive was clearly visible.

‘Do you think I’ll really lose my affection for you if only Serena tells me to sit down and relax like that and make me suffer like this? I know everything now!?’

In addition, Zeke harassed others by stabbing them with bread,

He doesn’t even touch me and makes a complicated expression.

‘Yes, no matter how much you pretend to hate me, you can’t hit me. Zeke.’

Iriel became more and more confident in his thoughts.

She gritted her teeth even more and moved her body.

After class, while organizing the stories in my head to tell Serena and Zeke separately.

‘Never, never will I just let you die. Zeke.’

At some point, Zeke’s eyes looking at Iriel shone blue.

“uh?”
