Chapter 141 - Promised Day 1 Year Ago (2)
Promised Day 1 Year Ago (2)
As I walked into the hallway, I was silent. It just suits Francia’s babbling talk.
The fresh sunlight warms the walls of the hallway. The corridor with open sides created a gentle atmosphere with the side exposed to the sun.
At the end of it, I looked down for a long ti, not knowing that there was an unexpected person.
As I walked a little further, Francia pulled the hem of my robe, who was next to her.
“...sister.”
It was only when I heard the call from Francia, who was very wary, that I could see right in front of .
“Miss Iana.”
I slowly lifted my head.
There stood a man with a cold and sharp impression that was very foreign to the warm sunlight.
The cold eyes that seed to freeze the surroundings just by standing still, and the transparent glasses that could not alleviate them. And a slim and large physique that doesn’t go well with the glasses.
It was Lenag.
“Long ti no see.”
His brown hair hung in the wind slowly swaying.
There was still an atmosphere standing on the edge on the day when it seed like he would pull out the sword if I was wrong, and his faint smile was still there.
However, his face, which he had struggled to soften, gradually hardened.
Crinkle-
As I walked, the chain made a blunt sound and hit the floor.
Clink-
When it hit the floor one more ti, a horizontal line appeared on Lenag’s face. Imdiately, his face contorted in an awkward way.
“...Excuse , Miss Iana, is that okay?”
Why? He had an unbelievable face. I couldn’t understand why the world looked like it had collapsed.
“The chain?”
I patted Francia, who was wary of him, and responded indifferently. Lenag covered his lips with the back of his hand at my soft voice.
Then his eyes went wide.
“I, I.”
The fierce eyes that seed like a needle wouldn’t hit, and the bottom of the eyes were red. There, a single teardrop as thick as a pearl was dripping from there. It makes for a really pitiful look.
I’m at a loss for words.
Why are you crying?
Francia next to is pulling the hem of my clothes and whispering, is he crying?
I put my index finger to my lips. However, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t even think of a word.
I didn’t know about anyone else, but I didn’t know that this man would cry so badly.
Tears dripped down to the floor, drawing black circles. It had been a long ti since my head stopped thinking in the middle of the day because it was painful and mournful.
“...what did your brother do?”
Why does his voice match so wonderfully? I felt like I was going to be drenched in tears for nothing.
It is said that it is a superb view when a handso man cries. I wanted to wipe my face.
No, is it the hobby of the n around to cry? Why... do you cry when you see ?
He bit his lip softly and then let it go.
“My God, I didn’t send you out to see this...”
Although his face was sharp, he always had a soft voice, but his soft voice felt cold and hard.
No, it felt like a rigid person. He touched his cheek with a large, thick hand. Like soone who doesn’t know what to do.
Then I opened my mouth slowly.
“No, uh... this isn’t Lenag’s fault either.”
I called his na naturally, but he was startled. Lenag, right? Because I called his na at the end....
“Uh, then, Marquis.”
“I like the na.”
“Yes, Lenag....”
...You are still asserting yourself while crying.
“I’m fine.”
If I had listened to that sound as soon as I was handcuffed or chained, it would have touched no matter how much, but now that I’ve gotten used to it, I didn’t really care.
Because I didn’t feel anything.
“I don’t care.”
I just kicked my feet and laughed.
“I think so.”
I scratched my cheek and held out my hand. A hesitant hand brushed past his arm.
At that mont, Lenag’s expression seed to have gotten more blurred.
“And it’s not Lenag’s fault.”
I couldn’t see him for a while as he covered his eyes with his hands. The tears hanging from the tip of his chin were the only evidence he couldn’t stop crying.
His white shirt was pulled taut.
“You’re not to bla? So don’t think so.”
It’s not really. He also saved my life.
“... Because of my negligence.”
His red eyes appeared as he gently lifted his hand. I was startled by the sharp eyes under the glasses, but rather.....
The falling tears robbed my eyes.
I need a handkerchief at tis like this, but I didn’t have that kind of attention to detail. I don’t think Francia does.
Francia was rolling her eyes. It was a face full of awkwardness, but it was also full of curiosity.
Maybe it was because I saw her guardian deity a while ago, but the way she hides behind and sticks her head out looks similar to this. A baby bear.
“I think we should talk about sothing else...”
To refresh the atmosphere, I comforted him, patted his arm and turned around.
“Why are you here, I’m surprised.”
Contrary to the fact that he was Chaser’s right arm in the book, he was a person who I had not been able to see for the past year or so. I thought he was busy.
He himself is a Marquis and in charge of the managent of the cell, so why don’t he send subordinates instead of coming and going?
Whether my efforts worked, or whether it was hypothetical, Lenag took his hand away.
The slightly reddened skin was impressive. As he took off his glasses to wipe the pool of water, I looked at his half-dropped eyes and took a deep breath.
... It looks really scary and sharp.
It was as if a sword had been made into a human. A masterpiece that is so sharp that no one can touch it.
There are tears in the eyes of such a person, so this is....
“I ca here for business with your brother.”
As soon as Lenag raised his gaze, I quickly avoided his gaze. I’m afraid he would find out what I was thinking about while watching even though he can’t hear .
Hmmm, I’m not unscrupulous.
I just coughed and vented for nothing. Lenag looked at like that and said a word.
“I could send my n, but I wanted to co in person.”
“Yes? Oh, yes.”
I nodded. Prison is comfortable, but sotis frustrating. I understand.
“But he wasn’t in the mansion.”
There I paused. Chaser isn’t in the mansion?
“He’s not?”
“Yes, they said he went out, but I was told it would take a few days.”
So it seems that it was the butler and the little warlock who greeted Lenag. I could tell by the stories I heard one after another.
‘Is Chaser going out?’
I rembered his regular outing. He’s been out around this ti for a long ti, so this ti... it’s faster than other months.
I pressed my lower lip with my index finger and thumb and then removed it.
If Francia was to run away, now was the ‘red flag’.
‘If you miss this, you have to wait another month.”
And there may be sothing else next month. The future could not be left unknown.
then....
As I was about to open my mouth, a hand reached out in front of .
“Miss Iana, would you like to go outside with ?”
.... What? I blinked my eyes at the sudden sound.
“I’ll help you get out of here.”
The man’s face, with the tears stopped, was infinitely serious. Yes, even though he spoke softly, he was a polite and gentle man.
“You’ve already done it once. Twice is not difficult.”
That one ti seed to refer to accepting in the prison and providing convenience there.
I was puzzled.
The suggestion you made for thinking about this is really good, and I’m grateful... If the convenience in the prison was my brother’s order or request.
How about now?
“Why?”
I knew it was not the ti to ask such a question. Still, the candid words popped out.
“Why?”
Lenag was a little perplexed. Soon, a softer voice ca back, softer than before the crying.
“Because I’m your fiance.”
“Yes?”
Surprise erupted from the voice.
Who? Who’s what? Maybe I was too surprised, he made a more surprised face.
“Since when?”
“...that’s right, since your brother suggested it. I took the offer at once, but...”
“Ah.”
“Is there a problem?”
It reminded . I rembered
I rembered that I had paid for this book’s side story as well.
Obviously, the supporting actor in the book, Lenag, cooperated with the villain, Chaser. The reason for this doesn’t appear in the main story, but it’s because Lenag loved Chaser’s unnad younger sibling.
Yes. It was on the side.
“Did you get engaged?”
At the sa ti as the forgotten facts floated to the surface, my insides beca more complicated.
Why did I even think of this now? I could no longer see this man’s hand as before.
I also understood the slightly strange proposal and excessive convenience in the cell.
“No, it’s not.”
Even the face that shed tears as he looked at now.
Were you engaged? This is because of my mory.
“...I appreciate the offer, but I’ll turn it down. It’s not because I don’t like you. Lenag doesn’t have to sacrifice.
“It’s not a sacrifice.”
I was weak against these dayti tickles. Regardless of the feelings I had for this man, the gaze upon seed to tickle the back of my neck. Because he was far from
“It’s natural for you to be with in the future.”
“Ah, yes...”
As soon as I realized this man’s tickling heart, I couldn’t help but feel itchy cheeks.
But I quickly changed my expression. As long as I knew that Lenag wasn’t on Chaser’s side, but mine.
He felt Francia hiding behind and sticking her head out.
“Then please help this child, not .”
“Child?”
He was the most reliable ally when he was on my side. There is nothing as reassuring as when the bad guy was on my side.
“Yes, helping this child is helping . Please take this friend out.”
He must have heard my voice resounding again and again. But there was no reaction.
“Understood.”
