Chapter 158 - Lenag's Sincerity (1)
Lenag’s Sincerity (1)
... I was able to bet ten months of Pudding’s snacks on the fact that this necklace was the dog collar I threw away.
What is this crazy man talking about now?
“What are you doing?”
But Chaser slipped his lips into my palm.
“Woof.”
I couldn’t stand the strangely curved eyes and opened my mouth.
“Crazy!”
However, it did not end here.
Lenag, who had been watching silently, suddenly intervened. He still had his hair loosely tied with a cold, sharp face today.
“Miss Iana.”
Hesitation crossed his face.
“...can I bark too?”
“Are you insane?”
Lenag flinched for a mont, then slowly lowered his head.
“Because it seems like the Duke is doing...”
“My brother is the one who’s weird.”
“That’s too an, Iana.”
You stay still.
“I’m well aware of Miss Iana’s tastes.”
Even now, four years later, this man had a huge misunderstanding.
But I couldn’t say anything, because it was ridiculous. The next mont, the man flapped his lips.
“I just...”
It was a spectacular sight to see a man who was much taller than looking gloomy.
Because he was handso from this side too.
“...I think Miss Iana likes barkers.”
What?
When I looked again, wondering if I had heard it wrong, I had no choice but to stop.
This gloomy man was sincere.
I was speechless.
I didn’t know what to say to the man who put his hand on his chest and stared at seriously.
... How on earth should I respond to soone who says sothing seriously absurd?
In fact, it had been a long ti since I had seen Lenag.
There has been a weak bond between and him since 3 years ago when he offered to run away.
It didn’t deepen.
It was because Lenag was busy during this ti, and also because Chaser prevented him from seeing by any ans.
Of course, he couldn’t completely stop it, so Lenag saw my face like this often.
He’s been very busy lately, so I guess he made ti to co to a banquet like this.
I know that a noble like Lenag does not have to attend the debutante.
‘Is it because of ?’
Raising my head, this man gently avoided my gaze. He gently covered his face with the back of his hand.
I saw the red cheeks that could not be covered under his large hand.
He can’t even hide it anymore
If anything has changed over the past three years, these are the things. That he no longer hides these actions from .
He was like a lonely wasteland, sharp like a snake navigating the land, and when he showed this appearance, even though ti had passed, I still felt a little strange.
When I did not respond, Lenag’s question flowed naturally. Soon after, from Chaser...
The question ca back as to which one to choose.
“Who are you going with?”
I tilted my head.
‘I wonder if this is sothing I have to choose....’
“I like either way...”
I glanced at Lenag. His long eyes trembled.
“Isn’t it better to go with your fiance if possible?”
In the eyes of others.
Although he didn’t say a word, a red color flashed on Lenag’s face. From this point of view, unlike his appearance, he responded imdiately.
Chaser paused for a mont, then smiled softly.
“Not necessarily.”
He was smiling, but it was a smile that made the other person feel nervous. And this was his specialty.
Look at those eyes, he’s going to cause trouble.
-Human, will you choose, Nyang?
If I spoke wrong it seed that word would spread that Valtaize and Domulit had a big fight today.
In the end, I compromised dramatically.
Then let’s do this, the two n silently listened to . Distracted humans were no different from gentle sheep for this mont.
Ten minutes later, I was walking down the hallway with Lenag.
We had reached the agreent that Lenag and I walked down the hallway together, and at the entrance I would join Chaser.
....I wondered what kind of agreent this was. I stared at the floor indifferently.
“It’s a nice day.”
However, my gaze did not stay on the floor for long.
“Do you like sumr?”
I was automatically pulled up by this man’s calm voice.
Four years after being released from prison, many things have changed. Ricdorian has grown, and Chaser reveals his true heart. I think that what hasn’t changed was myself, but in the eyes of others, I may have changed too.
So this man has changed.
But he was also the most consistent of those around . That was amazing.
In the prison, there was a bit of a misunderstanding, and even if I knew that he was good at calculating...
Now I know he’s sincere. Also, he was always sincere....
“Sumr is a strange season, for .”
In the previous world, both the beginning and the end of a year were winter. On a cold day, we spend the year blowing steam and start the new year with the sound of a bell.
However, here everyone ends the year elegantly and gracefully in the warm weather that is a little hot, and welcos the start of the new year with the hot sun.
“So if you ask if I like it... I don’t think so.”
Sumr has always been a season when a lot of things happen to .
eting Ricdorian, finding out that I am Chaser’s younger sister, letting the female lead escape....
And I don’t keep my promise. If you count an understanding, it’s close to bad.
“But I don’t think it ans much.”
It was like that now. I muttered a little, but I felt a stinging gaze.
“That’s not true.”
When I raised my eyes, there was a still but deep gaze there. Yes, he was always a
serious-faced guy.
“It ans sothing to .”
The man who spoke his words softly stretched out his hand. I was puzzled for a mont and took his hand.
Co to think of it, I was being escorted, but I didn’t even hold his hand.
What ca to mind was because I’m not bright in this area. Even if I learn the theory, how do I know when I am locked up in a mansion?
However, Lenag will be different.
He laughed as if he had sensed the aning of my gaze.
“I was so nervous, I forgot to put my hand out. I apologize for the rudeness.”
I pretended not to notice the sweat on his trembling fingertips and palms.
“No.”
There was always sothing I wanted to ask Lenag. He must have seen Pudding disappear. He didn’t say anything.
Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t know about Pudding as much as he’s seen it for three years, but he never asked first.
As if he wouldn’t ask if I didn’t want it.
“I have a question for you.”
Instead of ntioning his deep consideration, I brought up another story.
“Does Lenag have a guardian deity?”
“Yes.”
He nodded.
I guess so. Because he was a ‘rose’ too.
It was a question I hadn’t asked before.
I didn’t ask him as much as he didn’t ask . It was not a consideration.
“Are you curious about my guardian deity?”
Before I could answer, he reached out. It was the hand that wasn’t holding .
Soon after, the sleeve of his hand slowly moved like sothing crawling.
It was a ‘snake’ that raised its head.
“Yellow Rose, the guardian deity of Valtaize is a snake. The na is Azur.”
I had already guessed it by seeing it on the stone slab once, but I only thought of it and finally saw the pure white snake in front of my eyes was different from that.
“It’s not yellow.”
It was pure white. However, as far as the eyes are, they are the sa golden color as Lenag.
“Azur...”
“Yes.”
The snake looked at as if to say hello and quickly stuck out its tongue.
The speed seed to be twice as fast.
‘It’s very small.’
It was smaller than I thought. When I found out that the guardian deity of the yellow rose was a snake, I thought it was the size of a house. Sothing like an anaconda.
However, this one was so small and cute that I thought it was a baby snake. It’s head was pointed, but its eyes were round.
It didn’t feel right with this man with a sharp impression in many ways.
If I exaggerated, soone who didn’t know would have thought it was a snake-shaped bracelet.
“It’s okay to touch it.”
“Yes?”
“Ah, because it seems like you’re looking at it.”
By the way, Pudding shouted ‘‘Don’t touch the head! Nyang Nyang Nyang!’. I guess it’s jealous too.
However, I ignored it and touched the white snake.
‘...smooth.’
As I gently touched its, Azur closed its eyes and moved softly. I looked at Lenag, not knowing what it ant.
“It feels good.”
Ah. It felt good.
“By the way, the snake, no, Azur looks small, is it still young?”
“No. It’s an adult.”
It ant that it awakened. So, is it intentionally in a small form?
Aquala, who would beco a giant eagle if she could, would take the form of a canary if she was bored.
“I prefer the smaller form, as it’s an efficient form to infuse venom.”
... Yes?
“It’s also effective for inducing carelessness.”
Aha.... such a terrifying aning.
I nodded with a frown on my face and slowly removed my hand.
A poison beast that I thought was a baby snake. I was scared.
Then Lenag rolled up his hand and smiled slightly. It was a smile that disappeared without a trace as soon as it appeared.
“Don’t worry, Miss Iana will never be bitten.”
No, but still. You never know.
Accidents always happen when you think it is the safest, and when you are careless.
As if I had seen this far, Lenag took my hand tightly.
It’s a weak force, but it clearly shows its presence.
“...I’m a little saddened. There’s no way I’ll put you in danger.”
With a fairly sincere face, I only knew then that I must have been rude.
“I’m sorry.”
“Ah... No. I didn’t an for you to apologize.”
Lenag hurriedly shook his head.
“I just want you to know that I’m not dangerous...”
