CH 7

“Is the lady managing all of this?”

“Not all, in fact, the gardeners do all the weeding and pest control.”

It hadn’t been that long since I had come down to this mansion in the capital in the first place. In the meantime, all I did was sow seeds and water them.

Once you sow the seeds, it’s over, but it’s not wrong to say that it’s a flower garden that I take care of myself because I keep giving water.

With such pride, I took Leonhard’s hand and entered the garden.

“If You had visited a little earlier, I would have been able to show you the clover flowers, but unfortunately, all the flowers have fallen and there is only clover grass. By the way, this field is my favorite place in this garden.”

“Do you like clover?”

“I like it. The meaning of the flower is happiness, and above all, it is a beautiful green color.”

After reincarnation, my favorite color became green. Unfortunately, I didn’t have it, but the fresh color that my family has.

“Is the meaning of the clover flower happiness?”

“Yes. Did you know first?”

“I didn’t get to know the flowers because I didn’t have time to pay attention to them. I’ll study next time.”

Oh my God, look at this guy. Do you come up with the word “Next” very naturally?

“You don’t have to. In fact, I don’t even know except for a few flowers I like.”

“What other flower meanings do you know?”

“Well, If I didn’t forget, Sunflowers are waiting, lilies are chastity, Tulips are confessions of love…”

As I folded my fingers one by one and recited what came to mind, I turned to Leonhard and asked with a sense of playfulness.

“You know what? The flower meaning of the red rose you gave me is passionate love.”

“passionate…”

Leonhard’s cheeks, which were reciting the word love, turned peach.

After all, it’s nice to see a handsome man blushing. I looked at him with a slightly happy face, then came to my senses and opened my mouth.

“So, don’t be careless with flowers. The capital city, especially the social world, gives meaning to even a casual exchange of greetings. It’s okay to ignore rumors, but wouldn’t it be a big deal if an innocent young lady somewhere misunderstood that the Marquis played with her heart?”

“Thanks for teaching me. I will be careful next time.”

“Promise!”

Without thinking, I was about to extend my little finger as I did to my older brothers and sisters, but when I realized that the opponent was Marquis, I lowered my hand. Instead, I knelt down in front of a field of clover and broke one of the biggest ones.

“Come on, I’ll give you this as a gift.”

When I motioned for him to lower his stance, Leonhard, who blinked, bent his knees to meet me at eye level. I put a clover on the back of his ear, as he did with me.

I said I would give him a big one, but because Leonhard’s body was too big, Clover was just cute. Still, he was a triple S-class handsome man, so it suited him very well. it’s the same with the rose in my ear.

While I was thinking about that, I made eye contact with Leonhard, who rolled his eyes as far to the left as possible. I secretly giggled as he cleared his throat with an embarrassed face, then I brought up a question to return the topic.

“Leon, do you know about the four-leaf clover?”

“Yes. I’ve heard about that. It is said that having a four-leaf clover brings good luck.”

“That’s right. But originally, luck is not about finding it yourself, but about making people happy by surprise without knowing it, right?”

I don’t remember well, but I think I died in an accident early in my previous life. Seeing as I don’t have anyone in particular, I must have died a lonely death. I was born into a new world and met such a good family. What could be greater luck than this?

“But happiness is something you can achieve through your own efforts. Someone else can give it as a gift.”

“That’s right, just like the young lady gave it to me.”

“That’s right. I will pray that this clover will bring you as much happiness as the rose I received. That is my gift.”

At that moment, a strong wind blew through my hair.

‘No, My hair that Helen and Sarah combed beautifully!’

I closed my eyes tightly and covered my head with both hands, but the wind quickly stopped.

Was it a passing wind? I raised my head, and Leonhard was right in front of me. He spread the hem of his cloak wide to cover me. At the same time, with his other hand, he was holding onto the clover I had put on the back of his ear.

Did he notice the gaze that I gave to that side without knowing it? Leonhard’s cheeks turned red once again.

“Because I can’t let the gift you gave me to wish for happiness roll on the ground.”

“Oh, my goodness.”

In fact, I thought it was too simple a gift compared to a bouquet of 200 roses, but when he said that, my heart fluttered twice as much when I saw his face.

If you are happy with such a trivial thing, the giver wants to give you more.

“Did you know? I read in a book that a certain tribe in a very, very distant land held a ritual for rain if it did not rain, and it was unconditionally successful.”

“unconditionally? How?”

“It’s simple. We held a prayer for rain until it rained.”

Leonhard’s face, which had been serious about my explanation, went numb. Seeing him laugh a little, I let out a serious voice.

“It’s the same for Leon as well.”

“What?”

“If you are unhappy right now, I will pray for you until Leon is happy.”

At those words, Leonhard’s eyes widened slightly. A smile soon formed on his lips as he looked at me with a slightly surprised face.

“Yes. I will only trust Lady.”

That smile was so pretty again that I was about to say that it just made me happy.

‘Really… What kind of man is this handsome? What if I really fall in love?’

* * *

Rumbling, rumbling.

“It is very strange…”

“What do you mean?”

“Why is the person who said he couldn’t ride the carriage because he was frustrated, why is he in here?”

“…”

Leonhard turned his head away from the window without answering. However, there was a clover that Raenel had put in His ear. Recalling that fact, Leonhard glanced sideways at Robert. Unfortunately for him, Robert had a look that he already knew.

“Captain, I wanted to ask you a question since I ordered that ridiculous bouquet in the morning…”

“No.”

“What?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Yes. Riding a carriage rather than a horse must not have been worried that the clover would fly away. You’d better put it in your pocket.”

“It will be Crumpled.”

Wow, this was really unexpected. Avoiding Robert’s stare at him with such a face, Leonhard closed his eyes.

“Don’t talk to me. Because I’m tired.”

He leaned his head against the window as if he was about to fall asleep. Of course, to the side without clover.

“We’re here. If you’re tired, go back to your room and sleep.”

“….”

Leonhard went out through the door the coachman had opened as if nothing had happened. And he took the lead and strode into the hotel, but suddenly stopped and looked back.

“Robert.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Make this into a bookmark.”

“What? No, you didn’t get a bookmark from the young lady earlier…”

“That is it.”

Leonhardt, who delivered the clover in his ear to Robert’s hand delicately and cautiously as if dealing with a glass artifact, spoke in a stern voice as if giving military instructions.

“Don’t make a single scratch on the leaves and make it carefully. If there is a problem, the vacation is returned.”

“What? No, you’re not doing too much! I came all the way here to do something like this… Captain, Captain!”

No matter what Robert shouted, Leonhard didn’t even listen. Her voice remained too clear in his ears for that.

‘I will pray that this clover will bring you as much happiness as the rose I received..’

He had a sudden thought. Raenel existence might be the four leaf clover that came into his life.

* * *

bang!

“I heard that the Marquis Ajas came!”

Oh my god, my ears hurt.

I covered my ears with both hands and glared as hard as possible at my little brother who opened the door without knocking.

“You didn’t even knock when you entered your sister’s room?”

“Is it true that he gave you a bouquet of flowers? Hmm?”

“Come to think of it, even when I was dancing, you asked if that person was really the Marquis of Ajas…”

Did he feel something in my thin eyes? My little brother staggered back.

“I heard that half of the knights admire the Marquis Ajas and the other half are jealous…”

“Well, it’s not like that, I’m just curious about the power of Ajas.”

“Yes, you admire him.”

“It’s not true!”

No, no, that’s right.

‘Still, I wonder if admiration is better than jealousy.’

Well, my little brother has a bit of a mischievous personality, but I’ve been watching since I was little how hard he worked hard to achieve his dream of becoming a knight. He was a pure and sincere man when it came to swordsmanship, and he wasn’t such a terrible person that he would be jealous of others’ talents and put them down, even before he had experienced it himself.

“You know, I was suddenly curious.”

“If you’re going to say something useless…”

“Is the power of Ajas so great? Is he really fighting with a knight by himself?”

“what? well…I haven’t seen it myself, but I think so.”

“Really?”

“His body becomes as hard as steel. That means that even if you are a sword master, you cannot even get a scratch on His body.”

“I see…”

In the original story, Alexander Howard desperately resists Noah and miraculously reaches the level of a sword master. However, as proof, he dies in vain, leaving only a scar on Noah’s cheek. To vent his anger on the scar, very cruelly.

“What’s wrong with your expression? What, did you even become afraid of Marquis Ajas?”

“It is not like that. What am I afraid of? He looks so handsome.”

“Look handsome? I said his face wasn’t everything, you didn’t know”

“Is not Everything? Are you done? I’m going to live off a man’s face. I also told my older brother. Even if I can live with a man without money, I can’t live with an ugly man, so if he thinks I won’t be able to marry a handsome man, he tells me to live with him for the rest of his life.”

“What… don’t you feel sorry for brother?”

“I’m not sorry.”

Why do I want to stay in this house? It was just to avoid the massacre ending.

“I don’t even know the deep meaning of it…”

“What?”

“That’s enough. I’m busy, so if you’re going to chat for no reason, leave.”

“Even if your mouth is crooked, you should speak right. What’s keeping you busy…”

“Can’t you see this?”

When I showed the envelopes piled up on the table, my little brother opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“Could it be that it all came to you?”

“Yes, it came to me. Don’t you remember my socialite debut? Now I can be invited to banquets and tea parties held by other families.”

“Are you sure you want to go through all of that?”

“Of course, I can’t go to all of them. That’s why I’m busy. I have to decide where to go from now on.”

“Give it to me.”

“Well, Sister Lily already filtered it out once.”

“But that many?”

“Yes. It was piled up this much at first.”

When I got up from the chair and raised my hand to my eye level, my little brother’s face became kinda weird. I guess I had a rough idea of what was going on in that shiny platinum-haired head, so instead of a bitter smile, I shrugged my shoulders.

“I guess I’ve become very popular.”
