Chapter 165.1

(EP-165.1) Night #6

165 – Day and Night #6

“Look, there’re butterflies flying around.”

Mirna seemed to be in a much better mood as she walked along the warm, sunlit path with flowers.

It was hard to believe that just this morning, she was rioting and breaking glass.

Who knew if she was just doing this on purpose.

Like she was deliberately putting on a bright atmosphere to show that she was okay. It would definitely be possible.

Tuktuk.

“Hey, why is she like that? What is she up to? And what is that blooming atmosphere she’s giving...! It’s creepy...! Don’t tell me she’ll also start asking us to have a tea party, is she...!?”

After strolling for a while, it seemed that Elga reached a point where she could no longer stand it.

She flinched and had goosebumps everywhere from Mirna’s uncharacteristic appearance.

She couldn’t comprehend the way Mirna was acting, as she usually acted like an uptight noble. The Mirna today... How should I say it? She was like a character from a fairy tale.

To the carefree Elga, it was a distasteful sight.

On the other hand, the elegant Aira was vibing with this Mirna, as she pointed to a distant pond.

“The pink lotuses are blooming beautifully today. I often go out for a walk to sightsee.”

“How wonderful! The lotus really reflects the sunlight well.”

Usually, Aira and Mirna hardly exchanged words. Mirna didn’t like Aira and the Tarantera Family that much.

“Look over there, isn’t that a mandarin duck?”

“Lady Draco, that’s not a mandarin duck, but a mallard duck. Well, it can be confusing to distinguish the two~.”

“Mallard duck-.”

But today, they looked like good old friends. Aira remained herself, but it was because of Mirna’s sudden change.

It was not uncommon for someone who had done something shocking and impulsive to start acting in exaggerated and unusual behaviors.

For example, when a couple broke up, they might go to a club they wouldn’t usually visit, let their bodies loose and engage in self-indulgent activities-.

Elga’s trust in me seemed to have hit near rock bottom. She seemed to believe that I was behind this situation, manipulating everything from the shadows.

What am I in Elga’s head?

“I truly don’t know anything. But Mirna-nim probably has some reasons she can’t talk about. We have to figure out what that is.”

“So, you’re claiming your innocence in all of this?”

“Yes.”

Not a hundred percent, but innocent nonetheless.

Since it was dangerous for us two to be away for too long, I took Elga, who still looked dissatisfied, back to join the ladies under the shade.

Aira looked at me and said.

“With such a beautiful day in the shade, I’m thinking of having some entertaining games. Does Court Entertainer Theo have one in mind?”

Aira was asking me for a new board game.

It seemed that she was already tired of the game they played last time. Anticipating this, I had prepared several options in my free time.

So, I took out some wooden blocks from my inventory.

“What is it?”

“This is a game where you stack these wooden blocks.”

Seukseukseuk.

I skillfully stacked the wooden blocks. Watching me set up, Elga, who still seemed dissatisfied, sourly commented.

“Isn’t this a children’s tower game? Why are you taking this out all of a sudden?”

“It’s not just about stacking. After building it, everyone gets to take out one wooden block at a time. The person who makes the tower collapse loses the game.”

Simply put, it was Jenga. As a person from the 21st century, the game had served its time and lost its appeal, but for these aristocrats who found everything boring, even this might be an exciting pastime.

“Taking them out one by one, huh? It’s very simple, but it could work your mind...”

Despite initially scoffing at it as an ordinary tower building game, Elga seemed to show some interest.
