I held my hand and caught my breath. My heart pounded.

It was then.

“Hey! Human!”

Bang!

“…..…!”

The door of the Oval Office opened with a loud noise. I was so startled that I was trying to get up on the sofa but my elbow slipped and almost fell to the floor.

Fortunately, Ash caught me, so I could avoid falling down.

When I barely straightened my posture and looked up, I saw Gyerg who stormed into the place out of nowhere.

“Gy, Gyerg?”

The guard guarding the door was unseemly beaten by the trespasser, and the guard was lying on one side of the hallway.

My posture was straightened, but my expression did not. Unable to hide my embarrassment, I looked at him, and Gyerg exclaimed proudly.

“I found the food to help me recover my mana! I’d appreciate it if you could prepare it right away.…..”

“…….”

“……but…….”

Gyerg’s voice soon died down.

“……..”

People learn by experience and memory. It doesn’t seem to be any different from being a half-demon.

Subsequently, the voice of the Gyerg, which flowed out, shook dangerously.

“No way……. again?”

His grey eyes trembled profusely as if to recall the past.

“…… really?”

“…….”

“No, you know. Um… There. At this point, isn’t it hard to say that this is my fault?”

“………”

“So, what I mean, I’m sorry I always cover the time and the place! I was wrong! This is my fault! I’m sorry!”

Gyerg screamed and ran away.

I couldn’t see what kind of expression Ash was making, but I saw Gyerg, who made eye contact with Ash, contemplating as if he saw a grim reaper.

Ash picked up a decorative sword on a nearby wall. No matter how I look at it, it seemed clear that he intended to catch and kill the runaway Gyerg.

I stared at it blankly and soon snatched Ash’s collar.

Not because I wanted to save Gerg.

Honestly, I just murdered him deep in my heart……… No, not because of that, but because my other desire has risen.

Now there was something more important than killing Gerg.

Ash turned to me as I pulled the hem. I said the moment I reflected in his golden eyes.

“I can’t walk.”

“Lydia?”

“I can’t put strength into my legs. It’s hard to stand up. So… … hug me and give me a hand.”

“…….”

“……to your room.”

Oh, he was surprised.

I’m sure that Ash’s face now looks surprised.

But I didn’t have the time to feel proud that I finally surprised Ash.

I put my arm around Ash’s neck after a while.

When I hugged his body with an unusually impatient hand, I felt that I was running out of time even though I did have enough time.

“This will be the last time I ask.”

“……..”

“When I get out of here, I won’t stop anymore, doesn’t it matter?”

A voice barely suppressing the crack asked me.

What did I say? The answer was of course fixed.

“…….. don’t dare to stop.”

If you do that, I won’t let it go.

Soon afterwards, I moved to another place, held by Ash. The whole time I walked through the hallway, the sound of my heart seemed to really eat my ears.

***

In life, you may sometimes have a hard time keeping up with reality.

I was dazed with my chin on the table.

“Lady.”

“……..”

“Lady!”

“Uh, eh?”

A close voice woke me up. As I turned around in surprise, Bessie tilted her head.

“What do you think? You can’t even hear what I said.”

“Oh, well…”

“Are you that happy?”

At that moment, my heart leapt and found its place. I opened my eyes wide and looked at Bessie, but her gaze was on my left hand.

Ah.

“You said it was a gift from His Excellency? Somehow, it’s also pretty. The jewellery resembles my lady so much.”

“Tha, that’s right.”

“His Excellency certainly has an eye for this. In comparison, Alex….”

Bessie’s words somehow suddenly flowed into gossiping about Alex.

I swept my heart with one ear of Bessie’s angry voice complaining about how substandard Alex’s aesthetic sense was.

What I am thinking, Bessie wouldn’t know.

……….what happened yesterday.

There was something I realized from yesterday.

‘Intimacy takes place even during the day.’

Intimacy did not have to be made only at night. It was possible even in broad daylight. And surprisingly, it could have started during the day and ended at night.

After making ‘intimacy’ (?) yesterday, I fell asleep as if I had passed out until morning.

It was a profound deep sleep. As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I knew at once that it went well.

‘I’ve heard somewhere that if you’re satisfied with that (?) …….. I hear you get tired and fall asleep right away..’

“…….”

There was something weird and amazing beyond satisfaction.

I went on to want to hammer my head into the table with great intensity. What the hell I was thinking? I’m ashamed to die.

I was worried that my face might have turned red, but Bessie suddenly clapped her hands.

“Oh, my lady.”

“…..…?”

“His Excellency bought you a ring like this. May I say that His Excellency still cares about my lady like before, right?”

I looked up at Bessie’s innocent face.

She didn’t seem to think too deeply about why the ring that Ash had given me as a gift was stuck in my left ring finger.

Although she knew about my origins, she raised me and Ash as siblings for quite some time.

Is that why?

I thought for a moment and answered.

“Yes……that’s right.”

I could have corrected this as an engagement proposal ring, not just a gift, but somehow my mouth couldn’t say it easily.

“What a relief.”

Bessie snapped my hand as soon as she heard the answer.

When I suddenly wondered what was a relief, Bessie looked into my eyes and said,

“The former master and his wife passed away like that, but I’ve been really happy that both of you grew up and became two beautiful people.”

“…….”

“I know you’re tired of hearing it so often.”

Bessie gently patted the back of my hand around her.

“It was my wish to serve you to the end no matter what, and I’m glad that I can fulfil that wish.”

“…….”

“It’s funny now, but I was actually a little bit worried. Because of the secret you had. But now that there’s nothing to worry about……it really makes me feel better.”

Bessie’s hands were warm.

So I hesitated more. From a while ago, I thought about the words that lingered in my mouth.

I don’t want to frighten Bessie too much, but I don’t want to fool her either.

Finally, I made up my mind inside, and I started the story.

“Bessie. You said your wish was to serve me and Ash for the rest of your life.”

“Of course.”

“You might be able to do that for Ash, but me……Do I have to leave this house when I get married? What are you going to do then?”

“Oh, my.”

Bessie raised her eyes without letting go of my hand.

“You’re getting married?”

“Don’t you think I should?”

I’m at marriage age and generally, it wouldn’t get too strange even if I get married tomorrow.

But Bessie hardened her eyebrows.

“You don’t have to. There’s a lot of money in the house so you can spend all your life playing and eating.”

“Even if it doesn’t mean that…… Yes, meeting someone you love can make you want to be together forever under the system of marriage.”

I stuttered without realizing it, but I wonder if Bessie listened to it strangely.

Bessie expanded her eyes round again and then narrowed them thinly.

“Who is it?”

“Huh?”

“Who is it? Which family is it?”

The grasp that held my hand ran into strength.

Bessie’s slender eyes shone sharply. I was embarrassed by her misunderstanding.

“What? I mean…….”

“How old is he? Is he a decent person? Is he the heir of the family? What’s his personality like? How does he look? How does he look?”

No, why are you asking me twice about what he looks like?

Why does Sir Davery suddenly come to mind? I tried to clear Bessie’s misunderstanding anyway.

But before that, Bessie followed up the questions first.

“Is he cooler than His Excellency?”

“……what?”

“Is he taller than His Excellency? Is he more handsome than His Excellency? Is he better than His Excellency?”

Now, wait a minute, what the hell are you asking me?

“Bessie? What the…….”

“If not, I will never allow marriage!”

What?

Bessie’s declaration left me speechless.

If my situation was different from what I am now, Betsy’s remarks weren’t that different from the meaning of stopping my marriage forever.

“Bessie… …Are you serious?”

“Absolutely!”

Bessie’s unshakable expression made me speechless again. Look, whoever he is, that means I won’t get married…….

All my life……

I was coughing in vain. Bessie’s momentum was so enthusiastic that it seemed useless to say that she was a misunderstanding.

Instead, I took a different approach.

“He’s not cooler than Ash.”

“I knew it. Then he’s out…….”

“But as cool as Ash. Tall as Ash, as handsome as Ash, and as good as Ash.”

At this time, Bessie’s eyes were the biggest ever.

“What do you say?”

The answer was not immediately returned. Bessie was painting her face with blatant consternation and disbelief.

It seems like she was thinking ‘How can there be such a person in the world?’.
