CH 79

Episode 79

Academy’s vacation has begun.

After a long time, the road to the Spade Territory was rough and far.

There was no way that there was a multimedia product in the novel that would soothe the boredom of a person trapped in a carriage to their home like a smartphone.

Nevertheless, I wasn’t very dissatisfied with this situation.

‘Oh….’

It was because Cassius, a handsome man authorized by the original author, was sitting right across the seat.

Perhaps because of exhaustion from the long journey, Cassius paused for a moment and looked out of the window with his chin raised. And such a figure could be said to be a sculpture.

His ebony-like hair that slightly covers the eyebrows reminded me of a black jaguar, and his roaring golden eyes were half-closed, exuding the decadent beauty hidden in his usual puppy-like appearance.

On top of that, a straight nose, a sharp jawline, and a solid body…

If the original photo card had been made by taking this image as it is, the fans would have bought the book with a nosebleed.

‘After all, looking at the handsome face is the most interesting thing in the world.’

It’s always new. It’s thrilling.

Pretty people and handsome people are the best.

So alone, I recounted the truth of the world, and spoke to Cassius, who was in a trance of seeing outside.

“By the way, can you really not go back to the palace?”

In my question, Cassius turned to me with his puppy-like eyes, who picks up his ears when I call his name.

And then his eyes looked incredibly gentle as if it were a puppy’s eyes.

“Yes. I don’t have to go. Not many people care about me anyway.”

“But that’s home for Cassius anyway.”

I said so, with his head slightly lowered, and said in an apologetic voice.

“I’m afraid you can’t go home because of my request.”

The evening after the Housekeepers meeting, I thought I’d still have time until the next Housekeepers meeting.

However, I woke up at 4 a.m. on the day of the vacation because of a necklace that was emitting enormous light, ready to blind me.

On the necklace, there were official documents sent by at least five people, including the Duke of Ace and the Duke of Ale Club, and when I saw them, I had a hunch.

‘I’m going to have a lot of work to do on this vacation.’

The problem was that the task of dealing with information is so difficult for me to have, which is still lacking information about the situation of the Imperial Palace or other territories.

‘Should I get some help from the Duke of Ale club?’

“Well, I see.”

I knew there wouldn’t be much urology anyway, but I did as he said.

‘If a person can fall asleep just because he closed his eyes, there wouldn’t be anyone who had any insomnia in the world. There’s no way I could fall asleep.’

***

Surprisingly, it happened.

Yerine began to sleep with a slight breath less than a minute after closing her eyes. Cassius, who was watching her, also exclaimed as if he was dumbfounded.

“No, after being confident like that, how can she fall asleep this fast?”

Cassius muttered to himself, rose from his seat and sat in the opposite seat.

He was careful not to touch Yerine and wake her up, but fortunately, the carriage seat was wide, so that didn’t happen.

‘Cause, she can’t catch a cold.’

Casius, who took off his furry red cape, covered Yerine with his cape.

Nevertheless, Yerine slept without knowing anything.

‘I’m so glad I’m the only one here.’

How lovely she is even when she sleeps.

‘If Blothea had seen this, she would never have stood still.’

It was Cassius, who put Yerine’s head against his shoulder while struggling to shake his silly thoughts.

***

When I opened my eyes, a woman was looking down at me and smiling.

She had such a beautiful face that it was hard to take my eyes off her.

‘Pretty……’

Her black glossy hair, as of black dan, was finely braided, and her large eyes, shining like a brownstone, were full of life.

“Oh, Yerine, what a pretty flame.”

I was used to her face. I didn’t know why.

“Mom, look! A little firework!”

I said proudly showing my both hands which I had lit a small flame.

My body wasn’t moving according to my will.

And between my lips, the voice of a very young girl flowed out.

For more,

“Oh, Ugh, ughh–”

“Yerine!”

I had to say it was okay, but I couldn’t.

I couldn’t do it, even though it was obvious to make him worry.

The afterimage of the burning mansion continued to haunt me.

When I came to my senses, everything around me seemed to be dead, like Yerine at that time.

It was scary.

“Cassius, hold, hold my hand.”

My voice was shaking.

I didn’t even know what I was talking about back then.

What came to my mind was when my long, thick arms that enveloped me completely.

“It’s all right.”

I felt the skin of a person, not the heat of the hot flame at my fingertips.

The warmth that I can feel only from being touched with someone.

“I’m here.”

I closed my eyes thinking it was a relief.

Thinking that he must be a living person.
