Chapter 161

Cathedral of the Holy Order of Kinesien, Second Cardinal’s Office.

Lesia couldn’t bear the boredom and brought some books.

All of them were related to the Kinesian Church of the Holy, but I couldn’t even get interested even if I read them roughly.

However, it was better than sitting still, so I reluctantly browsed to pass the time.

‘It’s no fun. Why am I learning this?’

Lecia closes the book she was reading and looks at another book.

The birth and sacrifice of the goddess Kinesien, the basic principles of the sacred law, and the significance and origin of the doctrine.

Even the title seemed archaic, and I wondered if the content would be even more boring.

‘… I don’t know if I’m enduring it or enjoying it.’

Lecia quietly turned her head and looked at Enrite in front of the desk.

As usual, he was looking through the papers with a sullen face.

‘I don’t have to hate you anymore.’

Of course, it was much better than before.

The frequency of his anger decreased, and he tried to avoid arguing with himself as much as possible.

It may have been a little bit of self-acknowledgment, but it did not erase the suspicion.

I wondered if he had become more prudent after having the dragon demon sword, Dran Calgonis.

‘Shouldn’t I give you a compliment?’

Lecia had only been pointed out and criticized by Enrite until now.

I wouldn’t say I didn’t do anything wrong, but sometimes I did help.

If so, wouldn’t it have been better to throw away the bad feelings toward him and give him encouragement?

‘Didn’t I find out that the Great King is coming? I also attacked the demon… … .’

Lecia subconsciously glared at Enrite with a blunt expression.

I didn’t even want to say good job or thank you.

All he had to do was be friendly and consider his position.

‘What do I need to do better here?’

Lesia almost poured out her emotions at the moment, but she barely held it in and tilted her head.

If we had to bring it up again, we would only quarrel with each other.

Dissatisfaction was piled up on each of them, so no matter how they approached them, disputes would arise.

‘I’m fed up with just being here.’

Enrite had a fairly narrow range of activities.

Cathedral, Belgron’s Inn, Royal Palace, City.

In fact, he spent most of his time in the cathedral alone, only occasionally going out.

Wouldn’t it be better to eat delicious meals and snacks if you stayed at the mansion of the Duke of Adelaira?

‘If I give you something and say something, I might be able to bear it… … .’

Someone broke the silence and entered the cardinal’s office.

Serran was approaching the table, holding a basket and a box.

“phew… … .”

Serran puts them down on the table and catches her breath for a moment.

Enritte watched the scene, then quickly turned her gaze to the file folder.

“What is all this?”

Lesia looks at the basket and the box, puzzled.

Cookies, pies, cakes, tarts, sandwiches and more.

It was filled with all kinds of bread and sweets.

“It’s all yours.”

“… Mine?”

“Don’t you like this?”

“It’s true that I like it… Why are you giving it all of a sudden?”

“Well… … .”

Saeran cautiously turned his back and secretly pointed at Enrite.

Lesia quietly watched the scene, then shook her head.

“I can’t do that… … .”

Lesia slowly reached out her hand while glancing at Enrite.

Enrite was still not responding.

“Are you eating me?”

“… do whatever you want.”

“Huh… … .”

Lesia laughs happily and pushes the cookie into her mouth.

Saeran seemed to notice, but then sat down.

“Wow… Slowly… … .”

The sound of crackers and bread being chewed fills the interior of the cardinal’s room.

Even while checking the documents, Enrite secretly looked away.

“After you finish eating, clean up.”

“… Ara language.”

Lesia answered while diligently moving her chin.

Seeing this, Enrite sighed and put down the pen holder.

‘Is it that delicious?’

Enrite just quietly watches Lesia.

Lesia was constantly eating bread and cookies and showing off a happy smile.

Is it possible to be so happy just by tasting the taste?

‘… It must be possible because he is human.’

Enrique had no choice but to admit that fact, albeit belatedly.

Lesia had a lot of emotions, and even the way she expressed them was unique.

On the contrary, compared to myself, I felt more human.

‘I don’t think it’s a lie.’

Lesia had been given many opportunities to betray.

Nevertheless, he never ran away, and even helped in many ways.

If he truly had the evil intentions of Acid Rain, he wouldn’t be able to endure it for that long.

‘But… should not be kept away Doesn’t he have that magic sword?’

Originally, after discussing with Shion, he might have made it a little freer.

But now, he possessed an artificial magic sword, and even gained mighty power.

Considering the existence of the demon, it would have to be destroyed, but since he suppressed the magic of the demon himself, he changed his mind for a moment.

‘It’s definitely a dragon.’

Lesia was also aware of that.

Those horns and scales were definitely characteristics that originated from dragons.

Perhaps that artificial magic sword was made of something related to dragons.

‘Are you saying that the magical powers of demons and dragons are combined?’

If so, it is understandable that he left fatal wounds on the demon god.

Demons and dragons once swept the Karon Belaz continent and threatened humans.

It was so powerful that no one could defeat it, and only demons and dragons could keep each other in check.

Even immortality must have been erased because the power of the enemies was concentrated.

‘Lesia is indispensable too.’

At this point, only Lesia could wield that artificial demonic sword.

Maybe even a demon god could use it, but he wouldn’t be able to steal the artificial demon sword.

At that time, I was trying to use an artificial magic sword, but my location was discovered, and I ended up running away after being hit by the sword.

‘Shion Regiard can deal with demons alone.’

Shion had slashed the demonic darkness with Acid Rain.

Since the Demon God knew that fact, he would never try to fight Shion.

In other words, the existence of demons could be eliminated just by putting Shion and Lesia together.

‘There’s even Hanette Adelaide… I will not be defeated.’

Enrite was relieved internally and relaxed her shoulders.

Until now, I have always tried to look into the future, and I have been swayed by anxiety and anxiety.

At this point, wouldn’t it be okay to take a breather and try to control the troubled mind?

‘No one will die. After destroying the demons and dragons… … .’

“Oh, I forgot to ask. How about you come and eat?”

Lecia barely swallowed what was in her mouth and looked at Enrite.

Enritte seemed to think for a moment, then got up from her seat.

“Are you going to replace lunch with that?”

“I’m going to save it and have it for dinner.”

“… You don’t have to. Wouldn’t it be nice to buy another one later?”

Enrite took a handkerchief out of her pocket and approached Lesia.

Lesia paused for a moment, then just looked up at Enrite.

“Eat slowly. It looks good when you eat it without getting it in your mouth.”

Enrite wiped Lecia’s mouth and sat right next to her.

Unlike him, Lesia swallows silence without understanding the action.

“… … ?”

Seran was also slightly surprised and couldn’t take her eyes off Enrite.

Originally, he would have to be scolded for not taking out his handkerchief and saying that he could only eat like that.

In addition, there was no way Enritte would buy snacks and bread for her, but she only followed what she was told.

“Are you going to buy another one later?”

“It’s up to you. Do you feel compelled to listen to me now?”

“Then can you let me out of here?”

“Are you uncomfortable living here?”

“It’s not inconvenient… I feel like I’m a little trapped.”

“I will try to think. I’ll make it easier for you, so why don’t you be patient a little longer?”

“uh… I will try.”

Lesia answered without knowing herself and put on a puzzled expression.

Unlike before, his tone became much softer, and there was warmth in his eyes.

I wondered if I was afraid of being treated well out of the blue.

‘what… what? Did I do something wrong?’

Lesia is extremely nervous and glances at Enrite from time to time.

Enrite browsed through the baskets and boxes and picked up a cookie.

Then put it in your mouth, taste it for a while, and then frown.

“… Too sweet.”

“Aren’t sweets usually sweet?”

“I don’t like sweets. That’s why I’m not trying to eat something like this.”

“… … .”

It was only then that Lesia was able to grasp this situation.

Enrite didn’t like sweets and bread, so there was no reason to bring them here.

In other words, he bought it on purpose for himself.

‘You thought of me.’

Lesia felt that feeling and looked at the basket and the box.

It must have been to give a little bit to each other to get closer.

Maybe his true feelings finally reached Enrite.

‘… I’ll have to listen carefully from now on.’

* * *

The royal palace, the royal family’s three princesses’ palaces.

Shion and Harnet were officially invited by the 3 princesses and visited the royal palace.

Barhen also ate together, and lightly exchanged opinions about the Knights of Lihines.

After the meal, it naturally led to refreshments, and even private conversations came out.

“then… Is black always on both sides of Harnett?”

“I am trying to stay by your side.”

“Don’t you want to be apart sometimes? It might be a little uncomfortable if you stay together for a long time.”

“I don’t know how my sister is, but I’ve never felt uncomfortable.”

“I am the same. It was uncomfortable at first, but now I feel much more comfortable.”

Juter thought it was unexpected and raised the teacup.

Even if they were engaged, there would be times when both of them wanted to be alone.

Still, since both of them said they liked being together, I wondered if it sounded like a courtesy.

“You seem to have deep feelings for each other. I apologize if my words made you uncomfortable.”

“no. I think this is something you might be curious about.”

“I wanted to hear the answer at least once because the two of them seemed affectionate. After all, if we stay together, will we fall in love with each other?”

Shion and Hanette couldn’t bear to answer that question.

We got to know each other and became attached to each other, but I couldn’t tell if they were in love.

Of course, it wasn’t that I couldn’t feel the atmosphere at all, but I was only vaguely guessing.

“Hmm… It may be rude, but there is something I really want to ask. Would it be okay?”

“Yes, you can.”

“When are you going to get married? You had an engagement ceremony earlier than us, so why haven’t you had it until now?”
