Chapter 106.2

At times like this, she felt sorry for having a younger brother and an idiot older brother. As her family, she sincerely loved and cared for Edwin and Justin, but she couldn’t help but feel that their excessive affection was burdensome.

“I thought it would be better to wear such an artifact on the hand so you can quickly check things. It is rather strange to bring tea to your neck or ears, isn’t it? And the wrist is a little uncomfortable. When I thought about it, I settled on the ring.”

“Um, yes, but this…”

When Yurina showed hesitation, he quickly added.

“I will cast invisibility magic on it. Then only you and I will see it. What do you think?”

“So it will be really invisible? Even for Dave?”

“Anyway, because there are traces of mana left, Master might notice that your hand is enchanted. He won’t be able to see it, though, unless he casts a nullification spell. You know that I am the one who put the magic on your hand, so he won’t bother using nullification magic, but isn’t that fine?”

“Hmm…”

Despite his calm explanation, Yurina hesitated, but immediately held out her right hand to Raynard. Then she noticed that he was trying to put the ring on her ring finger, and quickly closed her fingers. It was a movement close to instinct.

The only ring worn on the ring finger was an engagement ring. No matter how inconspicuous it was to others, Yurina didn’t dare to wear the ring on her ring finger.

‘It’s not that I don’t like it…’

To be honest, Yurina could have agreed without hesitation even if Reynard proposed to her right now. There was no other man in her life but Reynard.

If she didn’t get married him, she couldn’t imagine herself marrying someone else.

But she didn’t want to wear that ring on her ring finger for no reason.

Raynard looked into her eyes with a disappointed look. Yurina felt sorry for him at the sight of a wounded animal. Thinking about how to console him, she playfully waved her ring finger.

“I don’t know if you know this, but you can only wear a ring on your ring finger when you propose. Are you proposing marriage to me?”

His eyes, filled with disappointment, were now wide open. He quickly shook his head.

“No, I just… not right now. Well, not the same ring, but something better…”

He closed his mouth tightly, held his breath, and began again:

“What about the index finger?”

But his gaze was nonetheless focused on Yurina’s ring finger.

“Put on the little finger rather than the index finger. I think it would be inconvenient if it hangs on the index.”

“Huh.”

As Yurina opened her fingers again, Raynard put the ring on her little finger. The ring, which was loose enough to fit on the thumb, shone and gradually shrunk in size.

Yurina, who was carefully examining whether Reynard was wearing it on her ring finger, let out an exclamation as she turned the ring around as if it had been pre-measured.

“No matter how you look at it, magic seems miraculous.”

“There are many more strange things.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I’ll show you one trick later.”

Raynard fiddled with Yurina’s little finger, which had a ring on it, and then kissed the top of the ring. At the same time, light leaked out from the redstone area.

Yurina realized that he cast invisibility magic on the ring, but she wasn’t sure if it was really enchanted. This was because the ring remained unchanged even after the lights was gone.

Raynard told her that it would only be visible to their eyes, but she assumed it would still look a little blurry or something.

“Does it really work?”

“Of course.”

“No matter how I look at it, it desn’t look like that.”

Yurina took a closer look at the ring, hoping to find it as a small flaw, but gave up and went to Betsy.

“Betsy!”

“Yes, lady!”

Betsy, who had been looking at Yurina’s dresses, approached her, wiping her clean hands on her apron.

“How about this?”

Yurina waved her right hand and Betsy stepped a little closer and looked at her wrist.

“Isn’t that the bracelet you used to wear to the hunting competition?”

“That’s right. Do you remember?”

“Of course. It’s my lady’s bracelet, and how could I not remember?”

Yurina flicked her pinky finger at Betsy, who answered with a proud face.

“Then how about this?”

Embarrassment flickered across Betsy’s smiling face. However, she soon clapped her hands.

“The fingers of a young lady are always white and beautiful. How much have we cared about you since childhood? Of course, you’ve always been pretty anyway.”

“Other than that, anything else?”

“Um, um…”

Again, embarrassment appeared on Betsy’s face. There was some hesitation, but this time she answered confidently with a bright smile.

“As expected, my lady has pretty nails too.”
