Chapter 109

When I woke up after a good night’s sleep, it was around the time when the clear morning sky and sunlight were showing off their presence through the window.

Even though it was only one day of hard work, I felt as if I had slept soundly for the first time in a week.

I wondered if he was still sleeping, but judging by the twitching of his long ears, he heard me move and woke up.

“Ummm. Eldi, are you awake?”

“Yeah. I thought you’d wake me up when the story was over, but I guess you left me alone.”

“No matter how much the wound has healed, you can’t wake the patient up to talk. It wasn’t even a big deal.”

“...really?”

“I’m not going to lie to you. Let’s wash and get ready. Esmuer and Ragnis must have regretted not being able to talk to you yesterday.”

Unlike yesterday when the day stood strangely, I am relieved because it is a nuance that seems to be friendly to me, but I am anxious because I have no idea what the hell the conversation might have been like while I was sleeping.

But, not paying attention to my anxiety, Asilie, who rang the bell in the room, opened the door and asked the servant who came in to tell the two that I had woken up, and began to work very hard to wake up. It was impossible to escape from the situation, so I also started washing my face and brushing my teeth lightly with the water prepared by another servant.

Although Asilie was a sleepy person in the morning, she seemed to be nervous in many ways because of worrying about me. Unlike usual, when she barely wakes up after a while, she regained her senses in an instant and started washing her face. It was certain that it would take a little more time starting with tidying up my hair, so I changed into clean clothes in the meantime and decided to wait outside for Asilie to finish getting ready.

The hallway that caught my eye as soon as I came out of the room was plain and undecorated, but thanks to the hanging flag that clearly resembled the family crest, it helped me to guess that this was a nobleman’s mansion. There were even few windows, so I felt as if I was in a military barracks rather than a mansion.

Marvelous at the food he had never seen before, he walked a little to the window and looked outside to see a city that strangely reminded him of Ogwen.

Unlike the capital, which has a splendid architectural style, while the plain spreads on one side of the mountain, the scenery of the city, which clearly focuses on durability, seemed to indicate that it was a fortress city on the border like Ogwen or a city located in the border area.

Hmm, the princess came to such a city. There must have been an uproar.

“What are you looking at?”

While admiring the unique view of the city, where there is almost no distinction between the parade ground and the city streets, Asilie, who came out after getting ready, crossed her arms and asked.

“The lord of a provincial town reminiscent of Ogwen was weighing the mayhem he must have suffered yesterday.”

“Whoa. It’s not an easy sight to see a lord running around with servants in a heavy rain.”

It was a pretty heavy rain. Expressing deep condolences for the unknown lord, moving as Asilie led, they arrived at the dining room of the mansion.

After all, it should be said that it is unbecoming of an aristocratic mansion. It’s not that it’s cheap again, it’s that I feel like I’m saving money, so I sat down while appreciating the interior I quite liked, and Asilie, who was sitting across from me, opened her mouth by tying her hair that hadn’t yet been tied into a braid as usual.

“The conversation with the two of you yesterday was simple. The goal was to present the premise that you shouldn’t interfere with Eldi by putting your feelings first and everyone agreeing on it. Of course, I also included in that.”

However, the words that came out like that were something very different from what I expected from the beginning.

“To be honest, we had time to understand each other’s intentions lightly before the story came out... Well, is there anything different? To be honest, I was most concerned about Esmuier, but contrary to my worries, he was smart. Should I say that it’s like a person who is being talked about as a person? At least I knew that my feelings for you weren’t just a fleeting entertainment.”

“What if we already start talking without us?

“Hmm? I was just talking about what we talked about yesterday.”

Perhaps it was because of the conversation they were going to have, but they came in without a servant accompanying them and naturally sat down with Asilier in between.

“I’m relieved to see that you’re healthy, considering that you went through all that hard work yesterday. Both Yeo and Ragnis, it’s worth the hard work.”

“It’s said that it was an unavoidable situation, but I really thought my heart was sinking. I’ll have to give it some kind of helpful magic tool. It won’t work.”

“It seems that the main cause of the wound was magic, so a magic tool enchanted with protection magic would be good.”

Then, it was really casual, the three of us started to talk about my story as if we were having a leisurely chat.

It’s nice to see three beauties sitting and having a conversation... I couldn’t figure out what was going on even though I couldn’t do that in my common sense.

In the end, while I was staring at the three people without thinking in the confusion, Ragnis saw me like that and slowly continued his explanation.

“Um, Eldmia? This is like a temporary alliance.”

“alliance...?”

“A temporary alliance to ensure that Eldmia does not die until its purpose is accomplished.”

For a moment, I was shocked as if someone had hit me in the back of the head with a hammer, and I was at a loss for words.

“It is as Ragnis said. Your purpose... is by no means light. I understand how important it is in your life, so I cannot prevent it, but I cannot ignore the threat of the death of a loved one. .”

In the meantime, it is just a waste of time for the three of us to fight over my heart.

Even though he had told Asilier that he loved him yesterday, Esmuye had made it on an equal footing by arguing that the reason why he couldn’t reject his confession and Ragnis’ confession was because he had a heart.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a specific and full-fledged conversation in a more relaxed situation after achieving the goal of revenge, which is the cause of hesitation and the biggest threat right now.

That was the conclusion the three women came to after talking while I was asleep last night.

“So you just have to focus on achieving your goal as you have been doing until now. This fight for love will start after that.”

We have seen such an agreement. Esmuer, who finished the notification, rang the bell on the table and ordered the prepared food to be served.

“If Eldy was with another woman, wouldn’t he have felt jealous yesterday? It was just... I judged that the story between the two was valid enough and that his feelings for Eldy were not false, so I had no choice but to agree.”

In the meantime, while answering the question I asked earlier, Asilie smiled as usual, as did Esmuer and Ragnis.

That seemed to be their consensus that I couldn’t understand.

While I was grateful for their consideration and love, I couldn’t help but think that it wasn’t something as trivial as Asilie said in the morning... But in the end, I couldn’t find anything else to say, so I had to pass the food served by the servants down my throat.
