Chapter 106.1

That morning when Lydia De Flon decided to visit the mansion.

Reynard, who had been stuck in Dave’s lab lab for several days and didn’t even show his nose out, came to Yurina with pockets full of interesting things.

He kissed Yurina’s cheek once as he greeted him and started laying out all kinds of accessories. More specifically, there were magical artifacts disguised as accessories.

“Do you remember this? It’s the same necklace. You can use it the same way as last time.”

Raynard carefully placed the red-pendant necklace around her neck. Betsy, who was preparing a light snack at the time, responded:

“Isn’t this the same necklace the lady was wearing during the hunting competition?”

She suddenly burst into tears as she looked at Yurina’s neck where the pendant was dangling. Even just remembering the events of that day, her emotions seemed to fluctuate.

Betsy blushed as she glanced at Yurina and Reynard, then tapped her eyes with her sleeve and headed to find a dress to match the necklace.

Raynard silently looked at Betsy’s back, then pulled out a red gem bracelet from his pocket and waved it in front of Yurina’s eyes. It was the location tracking artifact that he had filled in for Yurina while he was looking for a handkerchief that he didn’t even know where it was before the hunting competition started last time.

Even after the hunting competition, Yurina kept it, and on the day Lydia sent a letter accepting the invitation, he took the bracelet back from Yurina.

Yurina now watched with a slightly embarrassed face as he opened that bracelet. Raynard asked for her hand, but she hid both behind her back and threw him:

“Are you continuing your weirdness?”

Last time, she agreed because there was a good reason to wear a tracking bracelet, even if she didn’t want to. Now there is no particular reason for that. They will be in the garden all the time, and there is no reason to track her.

However, Raynard approached Yurina with an innocent expression on his face, as if he hadn’t done anything wrong, and gently grabbed her hand from behind her back.

“I said it wasn’t weird.”

He smiled softly at Yurina and gently rubbed the inside of her wrist with his thumb. The place where his fingers brushed became hot.

“There is a reason for this.”

“What reason?”

“This is not just a tracking artifact, but it contains new abilities.”

“And what abilities did you add to give it to me, even though we are in the same mansion?”

“Space-travel magic.”

“Really? Is it possible?”

Yurina’s eyes narrowed in surprise and a bit of doubt. Then he showed her the bracelet he himself wore on his wrist.

“It’s not just space-travel magic, it’s magic that allows you to move to where I am. The location shouldn’t be too far, but being in the same mansion should be enough. However, it requires slightly more mana than the necklace, so you can become completely exhausted.”

So he added that it should be used with caution. As Yurina nodded to indicate that she understood, Raynard put the bracelet on her wrist.

Regardless, he looked at Yurina’s white hand without saying a word, and then kissed the back of it briefly. Then a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

‘Would it be good like that?’

Yurina shook her head as she watched him kiss her wrist this time. He always cared for her and looked at her with eyes that seemed to ooze honey, and he was impatient to see if she could repay this great love.

“And this…”

Raynard, who had been calm before putting on the tracking bracelet, seemed to hesitate as he fumbled in his pocket. Yurina raised her eyebrow at his behavior, which was like a mischievous child.

“What are you so hesitant about? Something more than spying on me? Something weird?”

“No. And it’s not weird at all…”

It seemed that he didn’t know that the way he looked away and blurted out his words was very strange. Yurina continued to look at him with her suspicious eyes, then moved closer and tried to look into his pocket.

But before that, Reynard raised his hands high into the air, so she couldn’t check the contents. She stretched out her hands on tiptoe, but her hands couldn’t reach because of the fundamental height difference.

Grabbing Reynard’s arm with one hand and extending the other arm as far as it could go, Reynard ironically did the same tiptoe when her fingertips reached the pocket. The pocket that she had barely reached was farther away again.

“What’s this?”

Despite repeated persuasion, he kept his mouth shut. Yurina reluctantly let go of his hand and stepped back.

“If you don’t want to talk, then you don’t have to. If you’re not going to give it to me, I won’t insist. In that case, I need to go and get ready…”

“Wait, wait, Yurina.”

He hurriedly took Yurina’s hand. However, he still hesitated.

“I really need to go. I have no time.”

After Yurina spoke firmly, unable to take it anymore, he swallowed nervously and pulled out what was in his pocket. It was a simple ring without patterns or ornaments. However, there was a small red stone in the center that was similar to the others on the necklace and bracelet he had given her.

It wasn’t a necklace or bracelet, but a ring. And the meaning of this ring was completely different than that of other jewelry. Yurina crossed her arms over her chest and turned serious.

“What is this ring all of a sudden?”

“Just don’t get me wrong…”

“It’s not that I find it strange, but it’s a bit sudden.”

“This is also an artifact. An artifact that detects poison or magical energy.”

He held a ring in one hand and Yurina’s right hand in the other.

“You may not have gone to the De Flon mansion, but you don’t know what Lydia is capable of. She can poison your tea in a second or slip you something damned.”

“That’s right.”

“If I’m around, I could sense it right away. But it’ll be just you and Betsy. And I can’t meddle in your girls’ affairs.”

“But why is it a ring?”

As in Korea, the meaning of the ring here was different. Considering that in Korea, couples exchange couple rings or wear rings as simple accessories a lot, the weight of rings here was heavier.

The ring given by reason had a special meaning. Even between lovers and fiancees, even if other accessories were given as gifts, rings were usually given at the time of marriage proposal.

Reynard said it was just an artifact and didn’t really matter. Even Yurina gave this ring a special meaning. However, the latter was a little afraid of the reaction of people who will see when she comes out in this case.

‘Especially brothers.’

They were unhappy only because Reynard accompanied Yurina to the party.

If they find out about the ring…

‘I don’t even want to imagine it.’
