Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Erich was a member of Count Ritzer's family, so she wouldn't look bad even if she danced with him.

However, Iona shook her head because she had a promise with Leroy to not dance with him.

"No. I'd rather go to the terrace."

Erich looked at Iona with suspicious eyes, but silently guided her to the terrace.

Again, since he was going to be an annoyance if she avoided him, Iona followed him obediently.

The place Erich took her was in the direction of the rear garden, with large pillars sticking out on both sides, so it was a good place to avoid being noticed by others.

As soon as the curtains were closed, Erich strode towards Iona and asked.

Are you insane?

"Hmm?"

Tell me, are you really going to get married? Giving up on your job?

I don't know why you're so angry, but calm down.

Answering that, Iona felt why he was acting like Jonas. It was because he was following the same attitude as Jonas towards Yulia.

Actually, Iona didn't quite understand why Erich was angry with her.

What does he have to do with whether she gets married or quits her job?

Erich glared at her and said.

Dont get married.

"That's a request not worth answering."

"Is it because it's the prince's order?"

Yes."

Iona, not confident in lying, avoided his eyes and blurted out her words.

She couldn't seriously talk about the bullshit that she had changed her mind after dying once.

More than anything, it would be difficult for him to hear that she was promoting this marriage for a different purpose.

Ha, how far are you going to be servile?

A mischievous laugh erupted from Erich.

He looked at Iona with cold eyes and continued.

To be loyal to the lord as a knight. well, that's good I can understand that far. But after you abandon your position as a knight because of that order, what the hell are you left with? Was it what you wanted to be, a swordsman with no convictions or honor?

Until he heard of Iona and the duke's wedding, Erich thought it was just a rumor. Indeed he had never seen Iona's face reflected with a duke in his vacancy.

But he never thought she would bring that man to a ball hosted by none other than his family.

They even seemed quite friendly. As if they were really going to get married.

I at least I thought your affection for the sword was genuine. Even if you are wasting that talent in a strange way.

After speaking, Erich gritted his teeth.

Sir Erich, lets be honest. You are sorry and I'm sorry too, yes. But you are not thinking about stopping the marriage itself, are you?

In the first place, there are only two reasons why you are anxious to stop other people from getting married. you are sick to your stomach having met a great spouse, or you just don't like that person getting married. In a way, the essence of everything is jealousy? Erich, would you like to meet the duke and rise in status?

Can it be?!

Then you dont like Iona getting married.

Saskia, who came to a simple conclusion, kicked Erich out before he could even answer.

Leaving the office that day, Erich internally denied Saskia's words and laughed again.

Even at this moment when he faced the face of the person involved, Iona, his thoughts had not changed much.

Jealousy, can it be?

He was just dissatisfied with the fact that his superior was trying to abandon his subordinates and units without any sense of responsibility.

Even so, she was a really beggarly boss.

In order to follow the prince's order, she didn't care what kind of trouble others were in, and she herself rolled in the dirty manure field so that he couldn't even curse at her.

As a knight in the royal family, she routinely committed despicable acts such as assassination and torture, but she did not receive a penny more in return for the work.

She was a contradictory person.

She had never abused her power for her own sake, taking on all the dirty work that a corrupt clerk would do.

She was always so determined in that mud.

In a way, it was natural. She had no interest in others, and she cared even less about herself even than that.

So that was why he was curious.

The day will come when he will be accepted as a colleague by her. Even if not as much as crown prince, would it be possible to become a meaningful existence to her?

With that in mind, he had always waited for her to change...

'You said you wanted to do something you couldn't do before? Shit, what the hell is that?'

He looked into Iona's eyes as if seeking an answer.

But, as usual, her red eyes didn't show the slightest agitation.

As if it was really nothing to throw them away.

Erich gritted his teeth.

He had always wanted Iona to let go of the prince, but not this way. He had never wanted a change like this.

I don't understand. Please explain so I can do it.
