Isn’t Being A Wicked Woman Much Better? Chapter 152

C152

The Baslein Castle perched on a coast lined with ships and had an imposing blue roof.

After a while, the group I had brought passed through the drawbridge and entered through the city gate, where the Basleins and their daughter welcod them.

The Marquis of Baslein gave a pleasant smile.

"Pleased to et you, Princess Deborah Seymour. I heard that you built a summit at an early age. Not only that, but you even developed formulas used by battle mages. You've worked hard."

"It's overrated."

"Please, sit as if you were in your own ho."

"Thank you for the invitation."

As a token of my gratitude for being in debt to the Marquis of Baslein, I presented him with a box of high-quality magical stones as a gift.

Since advanced magical stones are a valuable resource everywhere, Marquis Baslein was very happy.

"By the way, I heard that my nephew-in-law is a legendary magical swordsman who had only been heard of. I can't believe you've been hiding that fact."

Marquis Baslein, a warrior with a strong sense of victory, seed to feel a deep sense of betrayal because Isidor had been hiding his skills.

"Let's have a deep conversation."

Isidor was led by the Marquis with a somber face. The marquess, clicking her tongue, led into the castle.

"Follow this way. I'll guide you to the annex where the guests stay."

"Eh? The clothing is special."

As I followed her, I unconsciously noticed a man and a woman walking in the garden with a unique outfit I had never seen before.

The man looked like an imperial man, and the woman had an exotic appearance as if she were a foreigner.

While watching them, the marquess whispered.

"The Baslein Territory hosts a large port where ships dock, so guests from different regions stay here throughout the year. That couple are traders between Ferdin and the Empire."

She said.

"And all the guests will attend a dinner in Baslein on Friday night."

"I was invited at this ti on purpose."

"Perhaps it will be useful for the princess to gather information about the Principality of Ferdin and related contacts."

"Thank you very much for your concern."

I said sincerely.

"I also appreciate the princess for coming all the way here. I wanted to show Arabelle, who is about to enter the academy, how actively the princess works."

When our eyes t, the girl standing right next to her mother swallowed nervously, and I smiled.

"Thank you for the invitation, Arabelle."

"Yes! Have a comfortable stay, Princess Seymour."

She greeted with a flushed face, and the marquess smiled slightly.

"You must be tired from traveling through the gate, so for today, relax and rest."

The room the marquess provided was pleasant, and above all, the wide sea and rows of ships visible through the window were impressive.

As I leaned out of the window with the fresh sea breeze, I quickly went down the stairs after finding Isidor, who was released by the beastly marquis, as I rembered what he said before.

"There's a beach famous for its white and pure sand around here, so let's go together when we have ti."

As I had arrived in a beautiful seaside city, I was thinking about both working and sightseeing.

In my previous life, my grades and part-ti job affected , so I never took a proper trip when I was in college.

Even a light trip to Jeju Island was a distant story for . That's why I was a bit excited, as if I were on a backpacking trip.

"That white sand beach. What if we go now?"

"I usually co to the territory, and I have so resistance, but isn't the princess tired?"

"I'm fine."

I didn't feel tired at all, either because I slept deeply all the ti at the gate or because of the divine power.

"The sunset is the most beautiful at this ti of day."

Isidor gently squeezed my hand as he spoke softly, and I squeezed his warm and large hand.

"It's a bit far, shall we walk? Or take a carriage?"

"I want to walk if possible. There's a lot to see."

When I left the castle and walked toward the beach, I observed a quite large comrcial area and noticed a long line of stalls.

He and I stopped at interdiate stalls to eat snacks and look at various products.

As I walked along the coast curved like an arch for a while, the thick sand grains gradually turned as white as snow, and I was drawn to the mysterious and beautiful landscape.

When I took off my shoes to dip them in the sea, Isidor grabbed them right away.

I advanced slowly, feeling the white sand grains barefoot, then stumbled as the soft sand slipped down.

"Would you like to carry you?"

Before I could answer, he playfully smiled and lifted up like a princess.

He started running fast towards the sea, and I tapped him on the shoulder.

"If you throw , I'll be very angry!"

"I also really want to see you angry."

"Don't do it!!"

He acted as if he was going to throw into the sea imdiately, but surprisingly, he gently lowered in front of the water.

I had the strange sensation that a bunch of fine sand pushed by the waves was entering through the toes of my feet.

While walking on the shallow waves, leaving footprints, I sat on the sand to watch the sunset.

Then, I looked at the sky, where clouds passed, changing color every mont, endlessly.

The sky I see now will be rembered for a long ti.

"It's beautiful."

"......"

"It seems like soone is constantly painting the sky with a brush."

While watching the sunset dyeing over the white sand, I exclaid many tis with an excited voice.

Then, at one point, I looked at his face as he approached and swallowed dry saliva.

"When I saw fireworks in the past, I thought the princess watching them was more beautiful."

He gently stroked his lower lip with his thumb.

His face, up close, was so beautiful that it took my breath away.

I closed my eyes slowly, and he soon pulled my chin and kissed my lips.

At that mont.

Splash-

While I was frantically absorbed in the soft feeling he gave , a huge wave crashed against , and suddenly he and I were hit by the water.

As I rubbed my eyes, Isidor suddenly turned his head, and the tips of his ears turned red.

The skirt wet by the waves clung to the silhouette of my body.

I dressed as lightly as possible for a long journey, and it was hotter than in the capital, so I didn't even wear a vest.

Isidor also didn't have a coat to cover my body.

"... Let's go back to the castle first."

I murmured while my wet body huddled, and he quickly stopped .

"Dry yourself inside. I'll bring clothes."

He pointed to the villa in front of him.

"Is it okay to go to that place?"

"I took charge of that villa last year."

"It's private property. It's a nice place, but there's no one there."

With an obvious belated understanding, I put on my shoes and walked to the villa.

---------------------------

Although the villa was well-kept, there were no signs of life, and the indoor air was dull.

As the sun set, it quickly beca cold, so I shivered and clung to my wet clothes.

After a while, Isidor appeared, breathing heavily, with a cloak that seed to have been hastily bought at a nearby stall.

"Are you very cold?"

As I trembled, he asked anxiously.

"Milord looks very cold."

"There's a lot of wind outside."

He brought a chair and lit the fireplace in the villa's living room with magic.

"So, let's dry ourselves first and go out."

I quickly approached the fireplace and sat down.

"Warm."

While drying the clothes, this situation was both absurd and funny, so I burst into laughter. Isidor also let out a cough that seed to contain a laugh.

"What is this all of a sudden?"

"I know."

"Who would have thought the waves would co so suddenly and so forcefully."

"Then, why don't you use this? I managed to get it by going back and forth between the stalls several tis."

He kept recomnding a red cloak that a girl would wear.

"It's even worse if I wear it over wet clothes."

"That's not the problem...."

Erasing his words, he continued to take off his white shirt from his hard and muscular body, focusing only on the lit fireplace.

Isidor, who was skillful and carefree in everything he did, seed clumsy in this aspect. I shivered as I watched him and realized how the clothes clung to my body.

The silence beca as sharp as a knife. Unexpectedly, my heart began to beat with tension, and my ears went deaf.

The warm fireplace began to feel hot, and I felt a tickle in my throat.

"... After all, we're dating."

I licked my lips and murmured in a very small whisper, and he, who had only looked at the firewood, turned his gaze toward .

His erald eyes fluttered violently, full of flas.

I spoke slowly.

"It doesn't matter...."

"It doesn't matter."

He ruffled his wet hair as if to suppress sothing.

Water droplets dripping from his blonde hair fell onto the carpet.

"If you knew what I was thinking, you wouldn't say such a thing."

"Sotis the duke ignores ."

Looking at his trembling eyelashes, I teased him as if possessed by sothing.

Anyway, the debutante is just a formality, and my age as a magic student was that of an adult in my previous life.

He narrowed his eyes. I felt he was smiling with his eyes because his aegyo-sal was doubled.

"..... Would you like to stay here a little longer? I'll heat the water."

At his question, I stopped for a mont and then nodded slowly
