196 A Short Break #5

Mirna broke the ice as we got close to her dorm.

By any chance, has Lady Lioness been troubling you recently? Surely, she might try to disrupt our beautiful and blessed marriage?

Trouble?

Well, like trying to tempt you. She might manipulate Sir Theo like a puppet, and control you according to her own desires.

Right. Mirna and Elga were having their own little bet

Although she didnt show it, Mirna seemed worried that Elga might be seducing me and engaging in secret activities behind her back.

She really had a keen sense.

However, if I spoke the truth here, Mirna might explode with rage and turn me into an undead after slicing my throat, so I pretended not to know.

Well, not so far.

Huu, I see.

Mirna breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly reassured. Of course, she still casted a suspicious glance at me, but what could I do?

Not wanting the day to end on an awkward note, I decided to steer the conversation in a different direction.

So, when are you planning to hold the wedding?

I dont know. Theres still issues to consider. I also need to get Narmis approval.

Ah. Miss Narmi.

Narmi might not allow it. We just had a fight because she got our ears pierced without permission. If she finds out about something like this.

Indeed.

Mirna had fiercely argued with Narmi after getting her ears pierced. They fought so hard, they drew blood. But in truth, Mirna had done something even more significant.

Revealing this to Narmi I shuddered at the thought of how angry Narmi might be.

In the worst-case scenario, Narmi could oppose both my and Sir Theos marriage itself. Of course, well have to try to persuade her somehow.

Bye!

Before I could reply, the door slammed shut. And with that, I made my way back to the Gold Rank dorms alone. The walk felt unusually long.

Did the guys who dropped off their girlfriends all felt like this? Probably not, as theyd be making calls and texting on their phones.

But in this world, there was nothing as convenient as a cellphone.

So, on the way back, I couldnt talk to Mirna. I was left alone to admire the stars in the night sky.

I wondered what Mirna was doing now? Was she doing her routine with her apple-mint-scented products?

I didnt know. But it was funny how I started thinking about what Mirna got up to when we just parted.

I chuckled to myself. Maybe such thoughts would disappear once we lived together

What was marriage?

Honestly, Id never seriously pondered about it, and had just been kind of pushing it aside to the neglected pile. But now, there was so much to consider.

Dolgak, gieeek.

I finally got to my room, which felt cool and refreshing.

Keongkeong-!

I didnt bring any food with me.

Keureureung!

I was greeted by Keongkeong, who was hard at work on his wheel. But the chilliness of the room made it still felt somewhat lonely.

Ah, the frostbloom!

Since I had left out the frostbloom, the room was chilling all day. As I carefully placed it in the fridge, I wondered how it would have been if someone had taken care of my room while I was away.

If someone lived with me in my room.

Would I someday live a life where someone welcomed me back after finishing work?

Just like a real family
