Chapter 121

Missing Mary (3)

“It’s not bad, it’s very consistent. You.”

How can he trick her whenever he sees a gap? A sly look and natural touch will probably play a part in the consistent trick.

“That’s my charm, too.”

As expected, he immediately accepted. His hand, which was still wrapped around her waist, put a little more force and made her stick to his body.

Sweeping Nox’s chest with her finger, he slightly raised his eyes.

Silver long hair slipped down and tickled her face again. Nox’s face, looking down with a friendly look, even looked gorgeous, as if he was in love.

“Is there anyone that doesn’t think you’re attractive?”

“There was only one person who didn’t know that, so I was really holding back sadness these days.”

If he’s sad, he’s sad. What does holding back sadness mean? That was a very rusty word.

“But I’m happy that I have a chance to show my charm.”

Nox smiled, pulling up his mouth. The wind blew out and scattered Nox’s hair.

It was definitely a warm body, but she felt warm at the moment. Spring is coming. The wind was quite warm.

“Isn’t this skill worthy of being tempted?”

At Nox’s words, he turned his head to the side and looked at the mansion. At a glance, it was the size of a mansion owned by most nobles. She nodded slightly.

“Nox, are you interested in me? Or do you just want to have me?”

“Both. I want to have you because I’m interested in you.”

She escaped from Nox’s arms and even took a step to the mansion. He’s interested in her, so he wants her.… was right.

On the contrary, she may think that it is giving attention because she wants it.

She grabbed the doorknob and opened the door. She could see the inside that matched the perfect appearance.

No matter how much he was said to have transcendent power, not a person, it was hard to believe that it was made in one movement.

“What do you think of my ability?”

“I don’t want to admit it, but I’ll admit it this time.”

She smiled brightly at Nox. As she looked around the room, she heard Nox’s voice from behind.

At the same time, she heard the footsteps and voices of others other than Nox, and soon the door to her room opened.

“Princess, if you have a favor to ask of me, please call me.”

“I’ll be waiting. First of all, you’ll be hungry, so I’ll prepare a meal.”

The suddenly appearing maids greeted her and turned around. She approached Nox, who was touching his chin and looking around, and pointed to the maids.

“Those people.”

“That’s right, I made them for you.”

“I just happened to require people, you sure caught fast on that.”

“I’m so quick-witted, so why can’t I understand your heart?”

Yep, because she hid it deep down. She buried it deep behind her heart so that no one would ever know it and that it would not come out.

She was afraid that if it leaked out, it would overflow and come out endlessly.

She thought she couldn’t stop once she revealed it, so she just pretended not to know and kept it behind her consciousness, knowing that a full heart would pop out one day.

“Why don’t you know? You already know.”

“Lies.”

“What if it’s a lie? Nox, you don’t know, but human emotions are very easy.”

The more one tries to hide anything, the more truth comes out, but if they show their sincerity openly, people will doubt it.

If it doesn’t match what one wants to believe, they tend to deny it even more. Like Nox.

He said that because he wanted her to have a heart, not because he wanted to hear what was going on with Arthur.

Already several times, he has taken a look at her true feelings. And he would have felt it.

She thought Nox was trying to keep drawing attention by hovering around her because she didn’t want to admit that she really loved Arthur.

Still, the idea has not changed.

“You asked earlier, right? Do you have anything to ask me?”

“Anything.”

Nox waited for her mouth to open. She brought the paper and wrote down what she needed.

It was a necessary item to go to Emilton Street tomorrow. He shrugged as if there were no difficulties.

“And please find out the next schedule. Arthur probably knows.”

“What are you going to do here?”

“I’m going to go ahead of Arthus and persuade them.”

“What if Mary(2), who is next to Arthur, comes?”

“What can I do? I already signed a contract.”

It wasn’t important. What was important to her was the power of the marginal aristocrats and to attract them to her side.

If she (Mary2) goes around, there will be rumors that there will be a woman pretending to be the Princess. So she had to finish all of this in three days.

“I’ll finish it in three days.”

“Oh, you only have that much time.”

“Yeah, I have to go back after that.”

“But Mary.”

Nox smiled meaningfully and took a small glass bottle out of his arms.

“If I have this, do you think you have more time to come out?”

The medicine in the glass bottle on his palm was bluish. It was always a blue medicine that Arthur gave her.

“How do you have that?”

“Mary, you have to answer my question first.”

“If that’s the same as Arthur gave me, my answer is yes.”

Nox came up to her and put a glass bottle in her hand, perhaps noticing that she didn’t believe it.

The blue light that fluttered in her hand was definitely the medicine. How can she forget the strangely swaying appearance?
