Chapter 459. Aim, second? (3) So, Pena observed Arell's recent moves and counted the number of women attached to him.
From entourages to servants or artisans.
and concluded
‘If it's these guys... maybe it'll work out somehow?'
Even without bringing in junk from the outside.
You will be able to maintain the current atmosphere of the house as much as possible.
I thought it was necessary for them anyway.
‘Yes, this is it!'
As soon as Pena gave that answer, she decided to act immediately.
Her idea was similar to Darman's recent proposal to Arell.
Solve the concubine problem in advance to prevent strange things from entering.
So-called concubine defense!
As a concubine, defend the concubine.
Pena decided to act right away.
To do that.
‘First of all, I should throw the embers at them.'
Candidates that are likely to be the safest.
I decided to encourage the first ones that came to mind.
What Seina came up with was quite unexpected.
“I think these days, isn’t it pretty wasteful?”
yes? What?”
Seina suddenly said this, so Asha reflexively gave out a strange voice.
Saying that they had something to discuss, Seina called Asha and Dia.
Usually, when the three of us had something to talk about, we often put our heads together and discussed it, so no one thought this place strange today.
Until now.
Seina was the first to say something incomprehensible after a long time.
“No, I mean Arell-nim.”
“What does it mean?”
Dia, who had been silent, asked.
Up until now, he had been listening casually as if he wasn't interested in anything he brought up, but when Seina mentioned Arell, he seemed to intervene in the conversation.
“No, hasn’t everyone been upset lately?
Are you saying that Arel-nim is going to take a concubine? Honestly, isn’t it pretty competitive?”
“....ah.”
“?...umm.”
“No, don’t look at me like that and listen to me? Honestly, are you all interested?”
Seina shrugged.
The two of them didn't say anything, as if they were trying to listen.
Seina understood that it was okay to continue, and started talking again.
“Thinking about it, it's been quite a while since we've served Arel.
Wasn’t it from when you were thirteen?”
“...well, that’s about it. Ah, time flies.”
“Ever since I was fourteen.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
That's not what's important. It's not the time to be thrilled.
Seina added this.
“At that time, he was just a small person, but hey... isn’t he the age that knows everything now? Lady Arna is already there.”
“So?”
Asha instinctively felt that this wouldn't be a very good story.
And that intuition always becomes a reality.
“The lord you’ve served since childhood and your whole life? Wouldn't that be possible as well?”
“...As expected.”
Somehow it seemed so. Asha sighed.
“Certainly...
“Please don’t agree, Dia too.”
Asha scolded Dia, who took Seina's nonsense seriously.
“Seina, please don’t say anything strange.
What if someone hears it...
“No, it's not necessarily a story without reality. To be frank, there is no official recognition. Wasn’t everything that could have happened?”
“Cuck!”
Asha coughed on the spot.
Dia has not changed.
Seina didn't care much, as if she expected such a reaction.
“To be more blunt, I wonder if playing with fire would be sincere.”
“That's why I'm asking you not to say things like that so easily.”
“Isn’t it a waste to give it to someone else?”
“Sena!”
Asha raised her eyebrows, perhaps feeling a headache from Seina's nonsense.
“Surprisingly, Asha's potential is not enough.”
For now, the time spent with former nobles and Arel.
Even if you include everything, it won't be enough.
“And people who like gossip would like it, wouldn’t it?”
“I can only hear you clearly making fun of me, right?”
“It is indeed so.”
“Don't convince Dia too. Ugh.”
Asha sighed.
“In the first place, I didn’t intend to do that.... I
tried to say firmly that I didn’t, but I reflexively shut my mouth and hesitated.
Sensing the gap, Seina's eyes flashed.
“ah? Didn't you think it would be possible?”
“Oh no!”
“The reaction is obviously quite dubious.”
“That's why Dia is also saying don't jump on the bandwagon and fight against each other. Then how about Dia?”
Since it seemed like it would be disadvantageous for the time being, Asha decided to sneak an arrow at Dia.
Isn't it time to pass it on to a colleague?
“I agree.”
However, D.A. is a talented person who speaks without hesitation.
“Of course, everything is Allel-nim's will. If he wants it, I'm fine.”
“That is what I am saying. In the first place, it's all about whether Arel accepts it or not! And it is our will to push.”
“I agree.”
The two shake hands as if they understand something.
I wish I could be a good colleague.
Asha shook her head.
“So what are you going to do?”
“First of all, don’t hit me.”
“It’s going to hit you.”
“...It's such a grand plan.”
Surprisingly, the two didn't seem to mind.
“This is a natural approach. There is no need to plan.”
“Then it crashes. than that. Why are you suddenly talking like this?”
It's strange again.
I don't know Seina's temperament, but I thought she wasn't inclined to bring up such a topic easily.
“There is an important reason.”
“What is it?”
Asha was nervous inside because she had a more serious expression than she thought.
Maybe it's a serious problem that you don't know about...
“How old are we this year? Wouldn't it be dangerous?”
“...Is that because of that?”
It was a more bizarre reason than I thought.
No, there are parts that I agree with.
In fact, it was also a problem that Asha herself was slightly concerned about.
“It’s a joke. There is some reason for that. That is all.”
In the end, Seina did not reveal the reason until the end.
In the end, Asha, who hadn't heard of it, withdrew, saying, “Do it yourself,” as if exhausted, and Dia also retreated to see if there was anything to do.
In the end, only Seina was left alone, waiting quietly.
And now he smiles as if embarrassed.
“...I've been talking about it for a while. Is it a sword made of this?”
It wasn't self-talk.
He realized the presence of the woman who had just entered this place and spoke to him.
“That's enough.”
The one who showed up was none other than Pena.
“Um, so did you talk well?”
“I did it once. Thanks to that, Asha is dumbfounded and Dia is... Well, I'm not sure either.”
“great job.”
Pena said that while knowing what kind of conversation the three had.
‘It seems he's sincere.'
At this time, even Seina couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
This is the reason I brought up the topic to the two of them a while ago.
It was Pena who ignited this fire.
He suddenly summoned Seina and suggested, “Would you like to create a situation like this?”
In return, he gets permission to push Arel to some extent.
If things go well, it was a really strange deal that even concubines would be allowed.
It is indeed a strange transaction.
‘Is the accident of high-ranking people like this...?'
It was not a bad proposal for Seina, so she accepted it, but it was surprising.
‘Or do tall people have hair...?'
