[ Episode 351. Worried]

“What happened?”



Marquis Yunor asked softly.

When I saw his gaze turned to Marquis Erestial, it didn’t seem like he was asking me, so I watched it for now.

“Earl Cromwell saved us.”

The title of count disappeared after belonging to the rebel army, but the Marquis of Yunor looked at us without saying a word, looking at the Marquis of Erestial, who was still called the count.

“The monster is dead. Lord Cromwell here took care of it.”

“You mean alone?”

“Come to think of it, I don’t think I was alone... Did you kill the knight next to you?”

It seemed like she was referring to nickel, but she seemed to have misunderstood Vivian.

“you’re right.”

“Anyway, if Lord Cromwell were a little late, we would all be dead. In fact, there were times when I was prepared to die and remained.”

“You stupid. Didn’t you run away?”

“We are the Estials. I won’t run away because I’m at a disadvantage like anyone else.”

Serena carefully intervened in the fight between the dogs that was about to begin again.

“Thank you for coming here, Mr. Yunor.”

“I didn’t come to help, I just came to see him trembling.”

“her! Is it hard to breathe for something like that? You said you were hungry enough to see the Aura Master come running in, so feel free to watch it.”

As the childlike fight between the two marquises continued, the belated arrival of others was heard. All of them were knights bearing the coat of arms of the Yunor family.

“chris?”

And among them was Chris, who had changed into a more charismatic figure before he knew it.

When Serena called his name in surprise, Chris’ eyes turned to Serena. However, it was only for a moment, and as if he had noticed me while turning his head, his eyes widened and he stopped walking.

“Adrias Cromwell?”

It was still that there was no cheapness.

“Long time no see Chris.”

“Why are you here...”

Chris muttered in disbelief, but soon regained his cool and hardened his expression.

“so. Are you serving one of the ringleaders of the rebellion?”

“Oh, you’re the ringleader! As you know, Lord Cromwell was caught up in the incident without knowing why, because he was in Fortion. It doesn’t sound good to disparage our family’s benefactor like that.”

“Should I only say nice things? Looking at it now, my mental state is not very good.”

With signs of an argument about to begin again, I slowly rose from my seat.

“I will just go. It was nice to see both of them after a long time. Oh, it’s best not to approach the place where the monster fell. There is a possibility of poisoning.”

It’s annoying to explain plague, so I just said it was poison.

“Whoever wants to go.”

Marquis Yunor threatened, but he ignored it and got up.

chin!

Chris stopped me from passing.

Then Serena, who was watching, said quietly.

“Get out of the way, Chris.”

“I can’t do that.”

Chris, who resembles his father and has the impression of a piece of ice, put his hand on the handle of the sword.

“chris!”

Serena shouted, but he stood there, looking at me, with no sign of backing down.

“Do you want to try it?”

“.......”

Chris didn’t answer my question.

However, I could feel a ray of longing in the impression of cold Chris.

It was a desire for recognition that Louise had felt before.

‘Does it want to be acknowledged by me?’

I was curious.

Louis has awakened the rare Auror secret called Hwaan Geumjeong. Did Chris really become an Auror Master?

Judging by the momentum I felt, I didn’t feel like I had become an Aura Master yet, but I thought I might. Louis didn’t even know until he used Aura Biggi.

But...

“I’ll check later. When you both have time, come to Cromwell.”

The movement of the empire was so fast that Marquis Yunor had already arrived. It might have come quickly since it was close, but it seemed like the subjugation team would really arrive after spending more time.

‘It’s not like I can afford that.’

What if Luna, who is sleeping cute next to you, is a person who should have died? That the person named Adrias was originally someone other than me and was destined to die as a warlock?

What if you find out that Vivian is actually a villain who should have died?

‘no.’

Obviously, if it’s Vivian, she’ll make an effort.

However, unconsciousness was an area that was difficult to change even with effort. No matter how hard you try, the information is already embedded in your brain...

“Adrias.”

As I was alone in my complicated thoughts, Vivian grabbed my cheeks with both hands and called out to me. I looked at her with a face that looked like pressed steamed buns.

“If you’re in pain, you don’t have to tell me. You don’t have to worry so much.”

Softly-

I barely nodded as I watched Vivian quietly play with my cheek.

“I respect every decision Adrias makes. There must be a reason why Adrias won’t tell me.”

I’m sorry for nothing

With that attitude, I felt more guilty.

“I......Uk.”

As I was about to say something, Vivian pressed my cheeks.

“You don’t have to force yourself to speak.”

His expression was very serious, but it was funny to see him play with my cheeks like that.

“Instead, let me touch you like this once a day.”

“Ulgutsupnidu.”

“what?”

“All right.”

When I relaxed my hand and answered with my mouth that barely regained its shape, Vivian smiled brightly.

But for some reason, that smile felt vague as if it would scatter if touched.

‘Ah...’

I realized at that moment.

The fact that I, who had not known happiness, became anxious because I felt happy. The imagination that I might lose this happiness because of my mistake caught me like a snake.

‘Do I really deserve to be happy?’

And after all these journeys, will we be able to fully enjoy this happiness then?

I couldn’t tell.

“I am happy.”

but didn’t deny it.

I’m happy now. That fact doesn’t change.

Even if this happiness makes me shiver with anxiety, that is better.

“me too. I’m glad Adrias is back.”

Vivian’s hand slowly moved away from my face.

“After losing you, I felt more certain.”

It’s been a long time since I’ve been called you, not my name, is it the first time?

“I like you.”

“Kuhm.”

Even so, this exceeded the lethal dose.

I wanted to look away, but it didn’t seem polite to do so, so I made serious eye contact.

sneak

But unexpectedly, Vivian turned her head first. Even after he said it, his gaze continued to waver, as if he seemed embarrassed.

Did that face get red from the campfire, or did it just turn red from what you said?

“I like it too. Thank you for liking me.”

“huh.”

Vivian, whose words had diminished, gave a small nod of her head as if embarrassed, and then moved her body little by little to Luna’s side.

“Chop it first. Wake me up later.”

“yes. good night.”

Seeing that reaction, I thought I might not be able to sleep. I must have retreated because I was ashamed. cute.

Tadak!

I stayed up all night and fell into deep thought once again. About me, this world, my past life, and happiness.

‘Once everything is finished.’

It was too much to feel the happiness that filled my heart right now. It might not be a big deal to someone, but this small daily life was special to me.

It was a heartbreaking night.
