Chapter 107

Fake and Truth (15)

Crunch crunch.

All she could hear was the sound of cutting meat and handing over wine to her mouth. Looking at Arthur, he was also staring at the plate and savoring only the food.

“Aren’t you going to tell me why we are going out to the city?”

She didn’t give up and asked him again. No matter how much she thought about it, he couldn’t have made her a proposal first.

“Not only this place, but also other territories, I will visit them in the future.”

“You’re telling me to slowly get ready.”

Now that the nobles in the system have been suppressed for a while, those on the periphery also had to grasp and hold them in their hands.

She is not sure if they will cooperate with her because she has left them unattended so far.

Looking at Arthur’s expression, it seemed that he had already sent a letter and made an appointment. How many days is it okay to vacate the castle?

“When are you planning to go to another land?”

“I’m leaving in two days.”

“You must have decided how long you’ll stay.”

“It’s up to the owner of the castle.”

Arthur took a sip of wine and put it down on the table. He wiped off the area around his mouth with a napkin and held his chin and stared at her.

Now that she doesn’t care about this gaze, she emptied the food.

“It’s up to you to persuade them.”

“If the person who will be the owner of this country can’t persuade the people’s hearts, shouldn’t we doubt their qualifications?”

“You must be tired.”

Tuuk.

She put the napkin on the table and got up from her seat. Arthur, who was staring at her until the end, folds his eyes and smiles beautifully.

“You must be a pretty mischievous person. Seeing that you left a trace.”

“I’m not mischievous, I’m a pathetic person.”

“…….”

“If I don’t do this, I’ll be nervous. Isn’t it that you don’t even have anxiety, nervousness, and faith in yourself?”

He snorted and ran his fingers lightly across the traces of her neck. Arthur’s forehead narrowed slightly and corrected his expression again.

“Isn’t that how much you love the other person? Seeing that you left a trace of your own so that no one could covet it.”

“It’s not your first time. Is there anything grandiose? It’s just a trace of lust.”

It was a place that was clearly visible to others. She revealed it because she didn’t have to hide it, but when she saw Arthur’s expression of joy, she felt calm again.

Next time, she should leave an unforgettable imprint on him.

When she handed the handkerchief in her hand to Carl, he carefully lifted her head and tied it around her neck.

When she saw Arthur’s facial expression distorted noticeably, she burst into laughter.

“Well, I think it’s a pretty nice decoration, There should be no gossip about officially moving things.”

“It doesn’t matter. Those who need to see it have already seen it.”

Arthur took turns looking at her and Carl and approached her and reached out his hand. She decided to let go of his apparent behavior.

Holding Arthur’s hand, she left the restaurant and walked side by side toward the carriage. A little further from the back, followed by Carl. When she glanced, she was staring straight ahead with an expressionless face.

“I’m not going to dress up today.”

Arthur’s hand, holding her hand, gained strength. Soon after, he pulled slightly toward him, making his steps a little faster.

Arthur, who soon kept pace with her pace, often didn’t have to walk. Is it that he doesn’t even want to look away for a moment?

“……I’ll see how the territory you rule over today.”

It didn’t feel so good that he cared about Carl. He can’t do anything and he’s just sitting by his side, so why is he making a point like that?

All Carl could do was follow her from behind and look at her.

Like Arthur, it was a position where he couldn’t say or express his mind at will. No, it was also an implicit rule between Carl and her.

“It will be less disappointing to not expect much.”

“I hope I won’t be disappointed. The last time was more fun than I thought.”

It was the first day she learned about Nox. It was a pretty good outing for her. Since it was informal, she went into the store and collected information comfortably, so there was nothing to be desired.

It’s going to be hard this time, but wouldn’t there be something to get out of course. It’s about sex and rumors about people who disappear.

“Oh, by the way. Come to think of it, I don’t see a maid who always attends me.”

She tilted her head and asked Arthur. His fingers flinched lightly, and soon he spoke a lie with a calm face.

“She quit because she had something to do.”

“I can’t believe the maid who was assigned to me quit without saying a word to me, so her education is messed up.”

She let go of Arthur’s hand and kicked her tongue. Arthur looked at her hand with an unexpected smile.

“Mary, I didn’t know you were so interested in the maid. I wouldn’t have done anything to worry about from the beginning.”

“……I don’t know what you mean.”

“I’ll let you know in advance next time.”

Arthur shook off her hand and took the lead. Carl, who was behind her, approached and whispered.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to accompany you there.”

“Well, I expected it to be the case. It’s okay.”

“……But, if anything happens, use this.”

Carl handed her the same decoration as a pendant. She just liked that it was small and pretty.

‘Is it a necklace? What am I supposed to do with this?’

She turned around and looked at things with her eyes wriggled. Carl, who was watching this still, leaned down and said to her ear.

“It’s a bomb.”

“What?”

“So don’t use it unless it’s dangerous. It’ll buy you time. Oh, it’s a bomb that explodes after a moment, so relax.”

Sweeping down her surprised chest, she nodded. She thought Carl was finally determined to kill her for holding the bomb in his hand.

Carl explained the original use as if he were relieved by her embarrassed expression.….

“Next time, talk about important things first and explain.”

“Yes, I see.”

She was a bit grumpy and didn’t even say goodbye to Carl, but turned around and went to see Arthur.

Like this.

Carl grabbed her hand and grabbed her hand holding the bomb as if hugging her from behind.

“Look carefully. Princess, if you press the protruding part and open the opposite lock…….”

With a back hug, Carl taught her how to use a bomb. His lips were far from touching just by turning his head slightly.

Furthermore, she could feel the breath intact, so she drooled without realizing it.
