CH 115

Daniel didn’t know the meaning of the words of Baron’s butler.

‘The way to show others your love for your wife is to hug or kiss her.’

‘Come to think of it, my father often did similar things to my mother.’

Daniel recalled memories from his childhood.

Every time she invited nobles to a party or tea, her mother, Julia Prause, was visibly nervous.

To calm Julia and to warn others, Duncan Prause kissed her briefly.

‘It was obviously just a kiss on the cheek at first, but…’

His mother was the kind of person whose face would show if she was a bit excited or embarrassed.

Whenever he met his wife’s flushed face with a short kiss, Duncan Prause narrowed the distance even more with an expression of enduring something.

[“Julia.”]

When he said that in a hot voice, his mother closed her eyes, and his father pressed his lips against hers.

A very short kiss, but full of love.

After their lips met briefly, the attitude of the maids and vassals toward her mother became more polite.

Daniel was very young at the time, but he could guess the reason for the change.

‘Because there will be no fool who touches the woman he loves so much when he openly shows his affection.’

Even that much is overkill, but the father in his memory scrutinizes the employees, and says ‘Please take good care of my wife.’

He usually had a strong image of the head of a dignified household, and his words must have made his employees nervous and checked their behavior.

Everyone in the North was naturally aware of how extreme his father’s love for his mother could be.

‘Now that I think about it, it seems that I know it now.’

‘Duncan Prause’s obsession with and desire for Julia Prause that we could say he would sacrifice his life for her.’

Daniel thought that his father always overreacted when it came to his mother.

However, he was a different dragon from his father.

‘I don’t think I need to warn others, but it’ll help.’

Daniel, who found a useful example in his long-closed memory, said to Baron.

“As advised, I will show proper affection.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Baron answered sincerely, but he had a small question in his mind.

‘Proper affection?’

‘If you show your affection, you have shown it, so what is proper affection?’

He has thoroughly memorized the <Records for Prause Assistant> that have been handed down from generation to generation in the Divine family.

Baron was concerned that his master’s ability to love was only slightly below the average of Prause’s dragons.

[Dragons sometimes take the easy way out, and if you are someone who will serve a descendant of Gods, you have my deepest sympathies]

‘Daniel is better than any previous masters….’

Baron looked at Daniel with a slightly worried gaze.

However, his master just handed over the document with his usual undisturbed appearance.

“Daniel. You must be busy, but thanks for taking the time. There are many things I want to discuss with you.”

Entering Daniel’s office, Frey put the file she had brought in her arms on the table.

thud

As soon as Daniel saw the huge file folder, he could understand why she had moved this heavy object herself.

<Frey’s Party Plan>

oddly crooked handwriting.

Childish hearts and stars are drawn around the letters.

“Frey. Is this the party decoration you’ve been dreaming of since you were little?”

“Not really. I’m just thinking about how the interior will be decorated if one day I throw a party in my name.”

She was saying it as if it was nothing, but Frey was handing over the pages very carefully to avoid damaging the document.

‘Is it like a scrapbook with a collection of dresses that I saw last time?’

Frey began to explain in a slightly excited voice.

“This is a decoration to hang on the wall. I was wondering If I could make one with a combination of purple and gold to decorate the capital’s mansion.”

Her heart was beating faster than ever.

Usually, the nobles who held the party were active in social activities, so they had many people to invite or those who could gather people because of their family power.

‘But I didn’t have any of that before marriage.’

Like some young ladies who grew up reading romantic novels in the capital, one of Frey’s wishes was to host a party at the ballroom herself.

“I’m sorry, I got a little carried away, but a party is a party, even if it’s a charity party for a political cause.”

Daniel’s chin rested, staring at Frey.

In fact, the gaze was fixed on Frey’s lips.

Red lips that seemed to secrete sweet juice when rubbed with fingertips.

“At this charity party, we will also be auctioning off items from the participants’ collections. We use the proceeds to recruit talented children from the provinces.”

“Didn’t you say that it was used as a scholarship for talented people from the provinces, right?”

Her voice played like background music as he stared at her, memorizing every tiny movement.

“yes. The Senate is dominated by the more established nobles, so I thought it would be a good idea to put someone in the lesser-known councils first.”

“I will support you, I will be your person.”

Daniel, who was answering subconsciously with his gaze fixed on her lips, suddenly thought of Vikram.

Short hair and neat clothes. It was the same man who had told the future Frey that the ring looked good on her.

‘The day the battle of the flag took place. What did Frey think when she saw Vikram, who looked different than usual?’

‘If she stares at me with a face like this, any man will have a dark heart.’

When he reached that point, Daniel became very curious about Frey’s future.

“Daniel, your eyes look different.”

“I think it would be good to check in advance to see if anything unexpected happens at the party you prepared.”

When he asked for consent while hiding his true intentions, Frey smiled.

“That’s a good idea. If someone is going to run amok at the party, we can do something about it beforehand.”

Frey offered her arm to Daniel.

This was because if the charity party ended well, it would be easier to secure support.

Looking back, it was a good conclusion.

‘Most of the students who graduate from the academy with excellent grades become bureaucrats or go into politics.’

It was for this reason that Frey, instead of raising scholarships with her personal wealth, decided to bring in other families.

‘A young man and young lady under my patronage. A nobleman who sponsored them to study in the capital.’

Once such a relationship is established, it will not easily disappear.

‘Because it’s normal for the capital’s political world to gather with people who have even the smallest things in common.’

Besides, the thought of wanting to repay the favor usually had a place in the heart of the person who had been helped.

‘Of course, there are some people who have no conscience among the scholarship students, but the fact that they received help makes it easier to deal with than when there is no connection.’

Therefore, a charity party is a work of making ‘bonds’ that will be useful in the future.

“It’s a chance to say that I want what Tahar wants, so I don’t want to make any mistakes.”

It was a kind of declaration that I was going to start building ‘my people’.

For that reason, Daniel’s suggestion was sweet to her, who didn’t want to make any mistakes.

“If anyone is causing trouble, tell me.”

“The rules don’t allow me to tell you who did what, but I’ll try to stop them from causing trouble.”

Fushhh

Daniel’s transcendent magic passed Frey and flowed into her eyes.

‘We’ll see who Frey cares about the most throughout the charity party.’

Daniel focused again this time, hoping that his ability to read the future would be accurately manifested this time as well.

Soon, the appearance of the future from Frey’s point of view began to appear.

[“There’s one way to relax”]

The first thing he heard was a raspy voice.

It was clearly the voice of a man trying to seduce a woman, so Daniel frowned.

‘Some guy… It was my voice.’

He returned to his usual calm expression as if he had frowned at some point.

It wasn’t surprising anymore to see himself with his vulgar words and actions in Frey’s future.

[“Because I want to let you know what I think of you.”]

As if the future had changed thanks to his efforts made so far, the future Frey carefully closed her eyes.

It was at that moment when Daniel was about to feel relief that the future had finally changed.

[“Okay. But keep it short, Daniel. Because Sergey is a man who is opposed to this kind of love affair.”]

‘Is there…another man, Frey?’
