[The 14th Duke of Spade, Duke of Philip Easton of Spade – Born on July 6, 916. Death on Sept. 7, 950.
The Duchess of Calia Remantrotte – Born on May 29, 920 died on September 7, 950.]
“As expected…”
If I had known this would happen, I should have searched the records earlier.
I looked up and found that most of the deaths, the Duke and Duchess of Spade and the household maids and servants that supported them at the ti, were the sa as September 7, 950. All the sa.
‘The fire that Yerine started that day wiped out everything.’
If so of the loyal vassals had survived, the entire Spade family would not have fallen into the hands of the Postade.
But because all of them died in the fire that day, Yerine, who had no relatives, was left alone without a guardian.
“Ah, this is a little difficult.”
I sigh deeply, covering the record.
Under the circumstances, Yerine seed to have burned her arm because she couldn’t control her magic even before she lost her parents.
The accident had distressed her parents, and the Duchess of Spade had even left her with words, saying that she would never use any magic.
‘That ans I can be that crazy and uncontrolled, too.’
I got goosebumps when I thought about that.
Last ti, I used the magic of blue flas, and I thought it was a harbinger of the explosion that caused an abnormality in my eyes.
‘If I hadn’t stopped then…….’
It seed that the grueso appearance of the battleground that had been burned up and only the skeleton was left in front of was passing by.
“Oh, no. No. I couldn’t let that happen.”
I shook my head and slapped both cheeks.
I didn’t want to imagine anything bad anymore.
‘I’m not sure, but it’s like a rush when using fla magic, so it might be okay to be careful only when using fla magic.’
When I was comforting myself like that, soone knocked on the door of my office.
“Yes, co in!”
Appearing through a crack in the door was the black hair and golden eyes like the night sky.
Maybe because he washed his hair, but his wet hair covered half of his forehead.
“Oh, Cassius, you weren’t sleeping yet?”
“Yes, can I co in?”
“Yes, co in, please. Sit in front of that fireplace because it’s cold.”
Ie said, pointing to the fireplace burning firewood with a pleasant patter.
Cassius chose a fluffy armchair, covered with blankets bearing the Spade’s crest on a white background, and I spoke to him, lifting the gaze that was being fixed on the papers for a mont.
“Is the room comfortable enough for……..”
But the mont I raised my head, I was speechless.
Just with my mouth open, I couldn’t make any sound.
Cassius leaning against the chair was wearing a shower gown.
There the front of the robe opened wide and his chest was clearly visible.
After being hardened for about three seconds, I rubbed my eyes and thought to myself.
‘I guess this is because I’m tired that I started seeing things.’
But no matter how much I rubbed my eyes, Cassius’s appearance in front of was in a shower gown.
“Yes, what, Yerine?”
“Huh? Ah.”
I woke up to Cassius’s voice looking at with his clear eyes as if sothing had happened and coughed.
“Is the room all right?”
“Oh, I love it. I think I could live there forever.”
“That’s a relief, but don’t do that.”
With a business smile, I struck the paper as usual, but my eyes kept gazing towards his chest.
‘Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do at ho? Is that so? You’re not doing that on purpose, are you?’
It was very complicated in my head, but I tried hard not to show it.
“You must have been tired coming here today, why aren’t you sleeping?”
That was the question I managed to co up with to avoid this situation.
Cassius responded imdiately to the remark.
“That’s what I want to ask. Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Uh…….”
At Cassius’s question, I put another book on it so that the record I was looking at could not be seen.
‘If he knew that I didn’t know why my parents died, he’d think it was weird.’
Then I calmly responded to Cassius, who was sitting with one leg on the knee of the other.
“I’ve got work to do.”
Cassius looked at with a sad look and asked in a heavy voice like watery cotton.
“Still. I think you should take a rest today.”
“It’s all right now. Thanks to Cassius, I was able to calm down quickly.”
“But they say that you have nightmares when you’re tired. It’s almost midnight now.”
“I’ll do a little more. Until midnight. So Cassius sleeps first.”
There was still work to be done.
And I wanted to get Cassius, who had such giddy figures, out of my sight sohow.
“That’s a lie. You’re gonna sneak to bed at dawn, aren’t you?”
Cassius asked, looking at suspiciously.
‘Ck, this is why you can’t be a man with a good hunch.’
He can’t be easily deceived.
“You looked tired when I saw you earlier. You said you couldn’t fall asleep, and then you fell asleep right away. You even have nightmares.”
“I’m not tired now. I slept a little before, so I couldn’t fall asleep now.”
I barely put up with the words on my throat, ‘And now I’m all out of sleep because of soone’s unconventional dress.’
But Cassius, who couldn’t know my mind, said, repositioning himself and looking up at with serious eyes.
“But isn’t that too much? You seem to be in a hurry. It’s okay to have so rest today.”
I stretched out my arms with a big smile.
“It’s only been a few days since I’ve beco one, being a Housekeeper, I couldn’t afford it. Taking a rest seems a very valuable thing for .”
Then I put my arm back on the desk and continued.
“I keep getting in touch every day, they send this data, send that, and I have a lot of paperwork to deal with.”
I talked with my fingertips tapping on the shiny desk.
“Well, to get to the point, I feel like I have more people looking for .”
“That’s a little difficult.”
Cassius poked out his lips and buried himself in the back of the chair.
“You an there may be more people who will bother you in the future.”
“What do you an bother? It’s all work.”
“There are still a lot of people who can’t leave you alone.”
Cassius said in a sulky voice, half-open his eyes.
“You wouldn’t know.”
“What?”
His golden eyes were fixed to , and sohow his eyes flashed at that ti.
“Because there are so many people who touch you……..”
Cassius said in a low voice, looking at with a pod in both hands.
“Very occasionally, I want to tie you uptight and take you to the palace.”
Wait a minute, it’s no one else, and I think he really ans it if he says that.
Swallowing and slightly feeling nervous, I looked at Cassius, but he smiled sizzly.
“Well, I’m joking.”
I thought as I saw him standing up again.
‘No, I don’t think it was a joke.’
However, I couldn’t say what I was thinking, so I laughed and asked Cassius.
“Ay, what are you going to do when you take to the palace in the first place.”
“What do you an, I’ve been feeding you the finest puddings I’ve ever wanted to do. Work when you want to work and play when you want to.”
‘Wait, it’s pretty good.’
“There are many rooms in the palace, so wouldn’t there be at least one thing you want? Speaking of which, would you like to co to the palace once?”
“Oh, no, thank you, but I will refuse.”
As I waved my hands and smiled awkwardly, Cassius’s hands were drooping, showing his disappointnt to all sides.
And for a while, the silence sank.
Taking advantage of the gap, I took the papers out of the drawer and began to look at them, and Cassius quietly leaned against the chair and looked out the window.
“Ah, Yerine.”
“What?”
Looking at the financial records, I raised my head to Cassius’s voice.
Cassius woke up from the chair to see if I was determined to sleep, and when I saw it I asked thoughtlessly.
“Oh, are you going to bed?”
But Cassius didn’t answer if he hadn’t heard .
“Cassius?”
Then he moved his steps without a word and ca up to the side of the chair where I sat.
‘What is it?’
When my mind was confused and didn’t know what to do, Cassius bent over and pushed his face close to .
The sll of soft soap and Cassius’s scent flashed through my mind.
When I ca to my senses, his two golden eyes were emitting such intense light that I could never forget.
Like swallowing .
I stared blankly at the blinding light.
At that mont the hot breath tickled my ears.
“Now I have to sleep.”
“Yes?”
It happened so quickly that I didn’t know what had happened at first.
But when I ca to my senses, my body was in the air, and Cassius was looking at with satisfaction.
“It’s midnight.”
As soon as Cassius’s words were over, a clock bell rang for twelve o’clock
“Oh, sleep, wait a minute. I haven’t finished my work yet.”
“No. You said you were going to bed at midnight. You can’t draw your words.”
I struggled, but Cassius wouldn’t let go, rather he held tighter.
Then sothing solid touched my cheek, and I froze.
‘I, I touched his chest………!’
“I can’t take you to the palace, but I’d rather take you to your room.”
“No, Cassius, it’s not okay. Please drop off.”
“No.”
Cassius’s answer was firm and sharp.
At that ti I seriously thought about it.
Should I tell Cassius that there’s an open front in his shower gown, or should I just keep my mouth shut?
But before I could conclude, Cassius arrived in my room first.
He carefully laid down in front of the door. The touch was too soft and ticulous.
And he smiled brightly, saying good night.
“Good night, Yerine.”
I really appreciated him for that, but unfortunately, my interest at the ti was elsewhere.
Because he carried , and because I struggled to get out of his arms, the front of Cassius’s gown was further open, reaching a very dangerous point.
“Then I’ll go…….”
If he went that way, I thought his chest wouldn’t be a problem, but the gown might untie in the middle of the way.
“Wait. Hold on, Cassius.”
I left the door with Cassius, who was about to head to his bedroom, whether he knew it or not, and brought out a large blanket from the room at lightning speed.
“Wear this on. Because it’s cold.”
Before Cassius could even speak, I put the blanket on his shoulder at the speed of light and poured out my words with rapid speed.
“Thank you for everything today. Good night, see you tomorrow!”
And closed the door right away so that Cassius wouldn’t return the blanket.
“Wow, it took my life for ten years.”
Fanning my still hot face, I vowed to tell the butler tomorrow morning to bring in flannel pyjamas that fit for Cassius.
***
“That’s strange.”
Cassius, who fell on the bed with a blanket around his body, is gloomy with a sombre voice.
“Isn’t this a taste……..”
In the end, Cassius vowed to quit his shower gown and wear a shirt in the future, and Yerine lost the chance to see Cassius in his shower gown again.
