Shion Reggiard existed only as an extra and the fiancé of Hannette Adelaira.

‘… I guess not. There can’t be any variables now.’

In order for unexpected variables to occur, you must actively intervene in the flow of content or take separate measures.

But Shion hadn’t taken any action so far.

He had just been preparing to use the magic sword, and had just exchanged normal conversations with Hanette.

‘It must be because you’re afraid to marry someone you’ve never seen before.’

Knowing that she was not getting married, she was able to act calmly.

However, Hannett continued to worry and was planning a way to escape.

Given the different circumstances, there was bound to be a difference in each other’s position.

‘I want to treat you well, but… if you look at me too much, I might look down on you.’

If Hannette was going to act like an idiot, she had to pretend to be a little rude.

Of course, the level was adjusted according to the place and time, and only when the parents were next to them, they acted consciously.

If you just give it to Hanette for no reason and get hurt, there is a high probability that you will abuse it in reverse.

‘I’ll have to think about it first. If you can help me, I’ll help you, if you don’t want to…’

“Isn’t it okay to keep only what you want to protect?”

“If you look at it simply, that would be correct.”

“Aren’t you going to change your mind after getting married?”

“Would you be satisfied with writing a contract?”

“When did I ask you to write a contract? It’s because you don’t know what will happen later…”

Hannette hesitated and hung her tongue.

I wasn’t thinking about running away.

It wouldn’t hurt to accept the marriage if she could come to an appropriate agreement with Shion Reggieard.

“Aren’t you worried too much? You might end up breaking up before you get married.”

“…it can’t be.”

“That’s right. It won’t be easy. But is there such a thing as an if?”

“Where is the if? In order for the engagement to break off, one of the two has to move.”

It was rare to see two families requesting a divorce at the same time.

One side commits the wrong first, or one side pushes unilaterally for some reason.

Two cases were common, but most of the time they just passed for each other.

“Even if we get married… it’s fine if we don’t fight.”

“Can you be sure we won’t fight?”

“Uh… maybe? I’m a bit too nice.”

Shion pretended to think, then threw it out.

It was a marriage that I would never have done anyway.

It was pointless to say what was going on.

“Where do you look good?”

“It’s bound to be better than a fool.”

“Drinking or gambling isn’t always bad, right?”

“Isn’t it better not to?”

“Are you meddling in my life already?”

“What if I can’t say this?”

“I put my head, but where do I use it? Think about it and tell me.”

“Listening to my sister like that makes me smile. hahahaha!”

“Where have the good people gone? I couldn’t fight, so I was impatient.”

“My sister is making me a bad person.”

“Why are you blaming me for your fault?”

“Why is this my fault?”

“If you said you were nice, shouldn’t you admit that much?”

Harnette glared at Shion and constantly pushed her.

Shion is aware of the level of conversation, but cannot stand still.

“Are you saying I’m not nice? Isn’t that what happened?”

“under! admit it now You can see how well you will fight after you get married!”

“It’s from your sister’s point of view, and from my point of view, it’s kind.”

“Did you know that if you spit it out, it’s all words? If you have a conscience, you should stay quiet!”

“Is your sister doing this because she has a conscience?”

“Since you acted so disrespectfully, I tried imitating you once, what should I do?”

“Will you bring my level down to your level? You are good at it.”

“Do you think your level is high? I was just telling the truth.”

“If you open your mouth, it’s a lie.”

“Does that sound come out even when I see you?”

“How am I? Aren’t you very handsome and polite?”

“Huh! are you kidding me right now? are you handsome Are you polite? I’m not crazy.

How did I get engaged to a boy like this?”

Harnette bursts into laughter and shoots cold eyes.

Shion was a bit handsome, but not polite.

Of course, he was being a bit picky, but Shion was playing with himself more than that.

If you marry such a person, wouldn’t it be painful for the rest of your life?

“Didn’t you tell me then? I’m more precious than my sister.”

“What’s a waste if you don’t know how to do anything?”

“Is it relative?”

“It’s strange that people call me an idiot for drinking or gambling. You are no different from them.”

“Oh… Are you denying reality now? Are you going to deny reality even after getting married?”

“You do well. I will live and die like this.”

“People who drink well don’t live long…”

“Yes, you live a lot longer than me. Do you know what good it is to live long?”

Hannette can’t bear to say what she wanted to say and turns her head away.

I tried to ask about having an heir after getting married, but the conversation got twisted.

Even if he asked, wouldn’t there be a formal answer or a lie that would inevitably be caught?

‘…but I feel relieved inside.’

Harnett glances cautiously with a vague sense of satisfaction.

Shion was looking around the garden without changing a single expression.

I’ve never had such a comfortable conversation in my entire life.

Just like at the engagement ceremony, I wondered if I would quite like that personality and way of speaking.

‘Maybe I’ve been lonely all this while.’

Harnette was sometimes conscious of her loneliness, but she tried to avoid it.

No one will understand your heart, and you will be alone all the time.

However, the feeling of loneliness became clearer because he faced someone who stimulated him for the first time.

‘I won’t be bored until I run away.’

Harnette shows a lonely look in her eyes, then slowly stops.

When I said that I was running away, I wondered if there would be a little bit of regret left.

Why do I feel these feelings?

‘You say that you have regrets because of one of them? No way…’

“What are you doing? I need to give directions straight.”

“Hey! Am I the one to guide you?”

“Your sister did it herself, so you have to take responsibility.”

“When did I say that?”

“Would you like some time? If you have something to give, you must have something to receive.”

“under! You are really funny.”

“Is this funny? I’m very serious now Did you forget that you were supposed to match me?”

“what the…”

Harnett laughs and reluctantly follows Shion.

It was overly smart, and the composure was pervasive.

How did he live to be so shameless?

‘I lived only with my mouth. I’m too young…’

The mansion of the Duke of Adelaira, the family head’s room.

Robbens did not return to the mansion until the sun had set.

The ladies-in-waiting brought out clothes to change into, and Yenid just waited quietly watching them.

Eventually, the ladies-in-waiting left, and Robens and Yenid sat down on the chairs between the round tables.

“Did Zion arrive well?”

“Yes. I had a little problem, but it went well.”

“… a problem?”

Robbins frowns and distorts his voice.

It was a difficult engagement, and in order for the wedding to be held safely, there had to be nothing to complain about.

However, if he left a bad impression from the first day, it would affect not only Shion Reggieard, but also the Reggieard marquis family.

“Whoa… Hanette met Shion in pajamas.”

“Where is Hanette? I told you to be very careful!”

Robbins got up from his seat without even thinking about it.

If he was wearing pajamas, it meant he had run into Shion Reggieard without properly preparing.

If she showed her appearance without makeup, she would have no choice but to feel great disappointment and displeasure from Shion Regard’s point of view.

“Wait. Please listen to me to the end.”

“I have nothing to listen to. You have to pay your soul to come to your senses.”

“Zion told me to have mercy. He said that having to scold him would hurt Hanette’s pride.”

“… did you say that?”

“Yes. Would you like to hear more?”

Robbins sat back down, puzzled.

Yenid is slightly relieved and continues talking.

“I didn’t believe that. Maybe it’s a polite word, right? So I asked another question. Is there a part of Hannette that you like?”

“So what did Shion say?”

“I gave a little strange answer. He said he liked the mistake he made today.

He said it was interesting because it exceeded expectations.”

“…?”

Robbins doesn’t understand the words for a moment and thinks over and over again.

If it was a common aristocratic son, he would have a crush on an elegant and dignified noblewoman.

However, Hannett’s usual behavior was close to the opposite, and the nobles knew that fact, so they did not bring up the topic of marriage.

If that content isn’t false, isn’t Shion Reggieard quite a bit outside of that standard?

“Sounds like a lie.”

“It could be a lie. You can use this as an excuse later on to ask for a breakup. But… it seemed to me that he was sincere.”

Yenid clearly remembered the atmosphere and feeling he saw then.

She was also once a noblewoman, and went to meet many nobles in order to expand her personal connections and find a marriage partner.

As a result, his intuition became sensitive, and he was able to glimpse the other person’s feelings or inner thoughts, even indirectly.

Based on her own intuition, she wondered if Shion Reggieard had revealed her honest feelings.

“Do you really think so?”

“Yes. When I saw it, it seemed sincere.”

“Your intuition is quite sharp, isn’t it?”

“Whoops… not necessarily, but they tend to fit well.”

“Hmm…”

Robbins strokes his chin and thinks of Zion Reggieard.

If it was ordinary, it could have been ordinary, rather timid and introverted.

For being the son of a marquis, he’s on the quiet side, and he’s never had an accident before.

However, it was only an appearance that was shown externally, and in reality, I wonder if it was the original personality that had been hidden for a long time.

“So what did you do with Hannette?”

“I did what Zion asked me to do. There’s nothing better than making noise about this, right?”

“That’s what you said. During the engagement period, we should be close, but abandoning our souls will only make us feel awkward.”

For Robbins, this engagement was both an opportunity and a crisis.

There shouldn’t be anything that would upset the mood between the two families, and even if the marriage broke up, they would only suffer each other’s losses.

In addition, it would have been better to go as quietly as possible to appease Hanette.

“I think Shion has a lot of interest in Harnette. Even though he’s eccentric, his face is worth looking at, right?”

“Just in case, the eccentric personality suits your taste.”

“It’s good up to that point… but the harness is the problem. I think they view Shion a little badly. What should I do?”

“… I have to make it stick around. Wouldn’t it be fine if I put a condition on it?”
