CH 8

There was one person in the original who pushed Lucas the most than anyone else.

That man was Easton Rossotervan.

Easton became Marquis of Rosotervan at the rather early age of twenty-one.

At the same time, he was also the youngest maternal uncle of Honey Edren.

Here he had a hidden secret… His mother was not a person, but a demon.

The fact that he was a half-race of the demon clan was a secret that had to be kept secret from the Empire people who did not like the other race, and it was a strength that made him quickly rise to the level of a sword master thanks to his body that was different from that of ordinary people.

The problem is that Lucas, who knows the truth, took advantage of Easton.

Not for good, of course, but for bad.

Lucas knew Easton’s true identity and used it as a weakness to blackmail Easton.

Easton inherited his mother’s abilities and was able to artificially control the weather for a brief moment, an ability that appealed to Lucas more than anything else.

The lightning I saw in my dream the other day was all man-made lightning by Easton.

It’s short, but how reassuring it would be if the one who controls the weather was on your side.

Easton was the decisive figure in Lucas’ smooth ascension to the throne.

“…….”

After a short tea time that I didn’t know what it tasted like, I hurriedly hid in the bed in my room.

Of course, the act was not a hiding act out of fear.

Naturally…….

“Oops!”

It was the pleasure that came from the pleasure of having taken away the most important person in Lucas’ life.

I threw the blanket over the excited reality and didn’t hide my swollen feelings.

It was good.

In this way, the path to Noah’s flower life is gradually completed!

Besides, if the future marquis becomes our Noah’s teacher, there is nothing to say.

By letting the public know that Noah’s teacher is also being carefully chosen, we will also be able to express how much our family loves Noah!

Ugh……! Look, Noah will be better than Honey and Lucas.

Oh, and to celebrate, let’s pre-order Noah’s Sword.

Last year, Noah loved to play with swords, so he’d love it if I prepared them in advance.

I’m going to buy a children’s sword because Noah will grow up in no time, so I’ll have to look for something I can wield until he reaches adulthood.

“Annie, get ready to go.”

There’s already so much to do!

After leaving the Duke House for the first time in a long time with Annie, I first stepped into the largest weapons store in the Empire called “Arnold”.

“I see the noble Princess of Agrinda.”

The store manager there introduced himself as “Peter” and held out various swords in front of me.

I thought that the weapon store would be a dark and livable place, as I often see in games, but it doesn’t seem to be any different from a regular jewelry store.

Rather quiet, serene atmosphere?

Amazing. It’s a completely different atmosphere from a regular adventure game.

“…….”

I looked at the sword, swinging it around, and looked at it closely.

But all I can see if I don’t learn the sword… It was just a price tag on the sword.

I couldn’t help it.

Rosent was a talented woman in the commercial world, but she was a bit of a jerk when it came to things that required physical strength.

In the end, I had to ask the store manager directly.

“Is there a sword strong enough to withstand the magic power?”

“If it’s a sword of that size, you’ll have to make it to order.”

“Show me around.”

The store manager listened to my words and took up the pen while showing me various documents and basic drafts.

“First of all, in order to sustain the magic, you need the help of the magic tower.”

“We’ll pay you for whatever it costs.”

After all, all I have is money.

“Then to increase the hardness of mithril and iron ore……”

The store manager drew a rough design of the sword on the parchment with a number of different cases.

As I watched it take shape more and more, I thought the result wouldn’t be too bad.

But…….

“Not enough.”

This doesn’t suit Noah!

I want it to be more attentive and sharp.

There are many descriptions of the craftsman’s sword in fantasy novels that give a sense of grandeur just by looking at it, but is it unreasonable here?

“Make a masterpiece that only you can make, no matter how much it costs.”

It’s the sword that Noah has to use.

Besides, it’s the first formal gift I give him, so I have to make sure it’s perfect.

“But, Young lady, this is the best I can make…”

“I’ve heard that Arnold is the biggest weapons store in the Empire, isn’t it?”

I rather provoked the store manager and spoke to him as if I were brushing it off.

“I like to surpass the best rather than the best. If you’re not confident in your skills, recommend someone else.”

“…….”

“I pay for it, so shouldn’t I at least get what I pay for?”

And did my provocation ignite the store manager? The store manager reached out in front of me to stop me from getting up.

“Lady, wait! I can do it!”

“Is that so?”

“Wait a minute, I’ll be here after some discussions with the others!”

Eventually, the store manager put the parchment in his arms and walked away.

“Lady, I’ll be in the carriage for a while. I think I left my wallet behind.”

At that moment, Annie leaves for a while.

I was left alone here.

Well, then… Maybe I should spend some time looking at other things for a while.

“…….”

I got up from the couch and wandered around the store to look at the other merchandise.

Anyway, you’ll need to look at the sheath to store the sword and design the handle of the sword, so it’s a good idea to look at the various basic swords as well.

I walked out to the most ornate-looking item on display in the store.

But that was the moment.

Tak.. tak.

The swords on display began to roll over, and the noise echoed through the store. In front of me, a man froze in bewilderment.

Maybe the staff broke something…. Is it the case?

The man was hastily moving his stopped hand, picking up the fallen sword.

I looked at him and then took a deep breath.

Grayish-blue eyes peeking through the ultramarine hair.

A glimpse of sobriety in an ascetic atmosphere.

It was my first time.

A character who is thought to be equal to Noah’s beauty.

Broad shoulders, a thin waistline and a curve that falls beneath it are just …….

“Huh.”

Was it too unscrupulous for me to think?

I closed my eyes and opened them in overthinking as I walked over to the man.

“Here. I’ll help you.”

“Oh, thank you.”

The man approached me with a low voice that resonated in his chest just by listening.

No, not exactly, it seemed that the voice was determined to stir my mind.

Not “naturally”, but rather “forcedly”…….

At that moment, the man turned his gaze towards me with a peculiar scent.

Oh, I think I’ve smelled this scent somewhere. Where did you get it?

Slightly grape-like sweet…… It seems to have a faint floral scent mixed in.

“…….”

I looked curiously into his grayish-blue eyes. For a moment, our gaze was intensely intertwined.

It was as if my eyes were turning grayish-blue.

Why do I really feel this way?

I’m trying to force my heart to change, but on the other hand…….

‘Not bad.’

“Oh.”

My fingertips trembled at the feeling I had never felt before, and I withdrew my hands and walked away from the man.

I kept getting into this and I felt a visceral sense of crisis that really seemed to encroach on everything.

But at the same time.

“……!”

The toes of his weakened legs twisted, and his vision, which had been blending into the gray-blue color, fell down in an instant.

And what catches me like that …

“Be careful!”

It was a rough hand around my waist.

Kung.

My heart began to respond quickly and beat uncontrollably.

What is it? What the heck?

Why am I so excited? Why the hell…?

Obviously, this kind of behavior isn’t even what makes me excited, so why?

Embarrassed and trembling, I just kept my eyes wide open.

And it was when my heartbeat reached its peak and reached my idyllic place.

“You’re sensitive.”

The man whispered to me, straining his hand on my waist.

“I should have been careful, I’m sorry.”

He apologized to me, and I relaxed my hand to pull away, but somehow I felt like I was losing my breath as I was getting farther and farther away.

He seemed to have been poisoned, intoxicated by the sweet scent.

“Don’t go.”

I was possessed by him at a rapid pace.

Boom.

A pleasant tremor continued to hover in my chest.

I struggled with the fidgeting hand and grabbed my shirt roughly as the man tried to walk away. Then the man let out a small, pressed breath.

Maybe he didn’t expect my reaction to be like this.

But I really don’t want to miss him in a weird way.

“…… Please stay like this.”

I moved my hands from his shirt and lifted them over his cheeks.

A thick scent with a faint warmth made me dizzy again.

I want more.

I want to be intoxicated by this scent.

Deeper, so that you can’t get out of it…….

Anything that gets in the way of this flow can be destroyed by me.

“Alas.”

How could it be such an attractive scent?

It was just like that, when each other’s breaths got closer, and they were about to touch.

“If you get any closer, you really won’t be able to get out of it.”

“Still… It’s okay.”

“No, you’re possessed by me right now.”

The man quickly brushed my hand away from his cheek and pushed me away as far as he could.

It was about two steps away.

I breathed heavily, still in a haze of mind.

For some reason, I thought I knew what it felt like to be dizzy.

But at the same time, I had a question for him.

“Holy moly… What’s going on?”

Funny. He’s not a half-race, and he’s not a vampire or a demon that only comes out of fantasy novels.

I’d rather be more realistic that I’m drunk and sober.

Where is the man in this empire who would carry people around like this, and even if there were, there would be a half-breed of demons, Easton…….

Oh boy.

No way.

“Your name . . .”

Just in case, I managed to gather my wavering gaze in one place and fix it on the man.

The man corrected me as I stumbled with a brief silence.

“It’s Easton.”

Whispered at the same time.

“Easton Rossotervan.”

What?

When the pieces that I had never expected fit together perfectly, a sense of embarrassment set in. We need to fix the situation quickly.

If he was really Easton, it meant that today was not the end of my encounter with him.

I looked at Easton with confused eyes.

But there was no room for confusion.

“……!”

A warm body temperature pressed against his forehead.

Easton, to be precise, came close to me and pressed his forehead against mine.

A faint breath coming from a short distance.

Rising heartbeat.

It was as if all my thoughts disappeared in the body heat.

“…… Oh.”

It’s a really good feeling.

I let out a faint breath that had been holding inside me as if I was possessed.

Then Easton approached me with an even darker atmosphere.

“You just have to keep feeling that way.”

Also, whispered.

“You’ll forget all about it anyway.”

Forget……?

How to? How can you easily forget such an intense experience?

I squeezed my eyes shut at the deadly gaze, and opened my mouth to ask a question.

But I couldn’t ask that question.

“Princess, I brought you the thing you mentioned!”

This is because the store manager with an excited voice appeared between us.

Of course, the store manager immediately flinched at the unusual atmosphere. Turning back to the store manager, Easton let go of the hand that had been holding me.

“Sure.”

As if to ask when he had touched me, Easton cautiously stepped away from me and left Arnold without looking back.

“…….”

I bit my lip as I wrapped my hands around the still lingering throbbing and reverberation.

Somehow, this feeling seemed unforgettable.
