Chapter 27: 27

Episode 27: Apology

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

“Is there something that matters?”

“No, it’s not…….”

“You seem unwell.”

How did you know that? I don’t think you’re using mind reading skills. Who noticed and reported that I vomited?

I’ve never been like this before, so I’ll have to be more careful next time.

“Well, actually, I’ve had too much greasy food in the morning…….”

“It’s fair to say that you ate with my brother, but Ruby definitely needs to increase the amount. I told them to serve dandelion tea, so please drink it before you go.”

Yes, I’m scared to death of both of you.

Well, it’s hard for them to make me squirm and grovel.

“For the time being, you will be having lunch with my brother every day, so you know that.”

Oh no, wait a minute, beautiful sister-in-law, what kind of a bolt from the blue is this? This morning alone was like a new kind of torture!

“Ha, but he’s busy…….”

“Even a paladin, who pretends to be busy all the time, never skips meals. Don’t worry, my brother won’t take Ruby to a cheap hotel because he’s a picky eater.”

I see. Do I have to be relieved? I just wanted to ask if I could eat with Ellen, but I held it in because it was a very contradictory act to the enthusiastic fan concept.

Of course it was never a bad thing. It was rather a good thing.

Even if I don’t chase him like a stalker, I have more natural opportunities to press him every day.

But why does it feel like a chick being led to the slaughterhouse?

“By the way, I hear you’ve been interacting with Arien a lot lately.”

“Oh, that’s….”

“You should visit the palace soon. She’ll love it.”

“Will it be okay?”

When asked carefully, Ellenia blinked her red eyes wide.

“Yes, Ruby can do whatever she wants. You don’t have to ask me for permission. You can come with me if you want.”

“With Ellen? Really?”

“……Yes, if you don’t mind.”

What’s up with these siblings today? The Queen may be a little uncomfortable if I go with Ellenia, but I like it.

After getting ready to go out, I had some time left to make bouquets by myself in the garden and set off.

It’s a visit to the temple the day after the first night.

Of course, I couldn’t finish the first night properly and I didn’t come here to hold a pledge ceremony, but I feel awkward for some reason.

Tch, I’m sure I’ll make decent progress sooner or later.

With such a dark heart, I followed the herald and entered the inside of the sacred temple.

I’ve only been in and out of the training arena so I didn’t know how the interior was made, but when I saw this, the whole place was covered in black marble.

It’s wonderful that everyone doesn’t get depressed because it’s been gloomy all day and the interior decoration of the temple looks like this. [1]

According to my memory, Earendil’s priests were much more faithful than the priests of Romagna, where even Satan would tremble, perhaps because they were living in a land infested with monsters.

However, it was not a faithfulness that advocating mercy and forgiveness, but a faithfulness stems from heretic inquisitor.

The relationship with the paladins, which are the majority of proud nobles, was also subtle, so it was more like they were companions to each other rather than one side leading the other.

The placement of Paladins in the North, which was hard to be seen in other areas, also played a role.

The Holy Knights of Longinus[2], to which Isaac belongs, were both guardians of the temple and the special forces that followed the king’s secret orders.

In short, he had both legs on each side and no one knew which one he would pick if a conflict between the church and Britannia Royal Family broke.

“Oh, my God, madam?”

As I walked, immersed in various thoughts, I was startled by the sudden voice.

As I slowly turned my gaze, I came into a hall that looked like a lounge covered with stained glass, and an opponent I didn’t wanted to encounter among the people gathered there.

No, why is she here?

“I heard you’re going to visit the temple today, I’m glad to see you.”

Freya, smiling and greeting softly, looked like the goddess of life shining alone inside this dull and gloomy temple.

Ha, I feel it every time I see her, but she has a beauty that will melt anyone’s heart.

This is the dignity of the main character’s childhood friend.

By the way, I guess Isaac talked about stopping by the temple with me. When did she meet him…. 

“Haha, it’s really nice to see you. What are you doing here milady?”

“My uncle is the archbishop here. It’s been a long time since I stopped by with my younger brother to meet my uncle and to have lunch together.”

Uncle? I didn’t know that.

The guys who sat by the window behind Freya, glared hard at me as I was smiling.

Of course, they were not friendly eyes. Lorenzo and the other boys who looked like apprentices.

But Endymion was nowhere to be seen. That fact somehow made me feel fortunate.

Sheesh, does Sir Ivan just leave them alone when the apprentices are messing around like this?

In the end, all of them were young men from aritocratic family, they would have free time to enjoy meal, unless there was an emergency.

“Lorenzo, what are you doing without saying hello? I guess everyone’s mesmerized by your beauty?”

At Freya’s hard-to-listen words, surprisingly, the boys who were sitting idly rose in unison. What?

“You’re late.”

……aha, yes, of course. This man just showed up and everyone was disciplined.

I looked back with a big smile.

The same Isaac that I saw this morning…… He looked down at me arrogantly, with a slightly less vicious appearance, shutting the water bottle cap.

Rude, what did you to be covered in sweat again?

“I’m sorry. Did you wait long?”

“No. I just arrived.”

A second ago, you told me I was late, you twisted bastard. Are you being sarcastic again?

“What’s that?”

Huh? I blinked and looked down at my hand. Ahh.

“I made it with Ellen for you in the garden earlier.”

In fact, she’s just watching what I’m doing, but I’m sure that’s a good exaggeration.

“Ellen, what?”

“Do you like it? I made it with all my heart.”

Without saying anything else, I quickly brought the bouquet of flowers and grinned. In response, my arrogant husband criticized me with an expression of disapproval.

“Your hands are a mess.”

“Hehehe, my favorite flower is near thistle, so……….”

Why don’t you just accept it? Huh? You bad bastard!

My honor as a lady in front of my enemies and ignorant children… I have thrown some of it voluntarily, but still. Shit.

“Anyway, Iz, you…… How can you be so blunt with such a cute wife?”

“What are you doing here?”

“I stopped by to see my uncle. Don’t scold my brother for neglecting his duty because I called him here, hmm?”

“You seem to know that he goofing off in his jobs.”

“Anyway. I’m thirsty. Can I drink your water?”

“You always try to steal my drink.”

“You are just being stingy when it’s only water.”

It’s a very friendly conversation. It would be perfect if only I was missing. Hahaha.

It’s okay, I’m used to this feeling. Besides, Freya…… Whatever she did to me, she’s so important that she showed up in the epilogue.

Phew. Is there any way I can beat her? If she hadn’t touched me, I wouldn’t have thought about this.

If you leave me alone in the future…….

“By the way, Iz, my brother said he wanted to talk to your wife.”

“What?”

“Madam, I heard that my brother was very rude to you the other day. It’s been a big deal. I’d like him to take this opportunity to apologize properly, would that be okay?”

Very rude? Alas, the damn song, you want me to accidentally denounced in front of my husband and his co-workers?

“What do you mean rude? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

When I asked with a bright smile like a dog or an idiot, Lorenzo raised his eyebrows.

It looks like he wanted to glare. Freya opened her eyes wide for a moment, but soon smiled coolly again.

“Madam is so generous……. You don’t have to hide your disappointment. Everyone knows it’s a mistake. I was upset because I thought you would have confessed how much it hurt you.”

Do you have to stress that? You’re different from me who talked in front of others on purpose.

Yes, I’m pathetic. What are you going to do? If you wanted to apologize, you could’ve done it earlier, but now I’m…….

If you had explained what happened at the horseback riding meeting belatedly, I wouldn’t have had such a twisted idea.

Well, I can’t help but look the situation like this. Don’t interrupt my safe path guys.

“Your brother didn’t hurt my feelings at all. Oh, he teased me a little when we first met me, but everyone plays that kind of joke. It felt rather friendly.”

“Madam…”

Freya’s mouth began to twitch slightly.

I know, I understand. But my husband’s watching. I have to look as harmless as possible.

I mean, you shouldn’t look like the kind of person who takes vengeance on childish pranks, as you intended me to be.

I have to look like a bright idiot who lives and forgets things like that…..….

“Madam,”

Lorenzo stepped forward, as if he couldn’t stand it.

Yes, he must be ashamed to be hiding behind her skirt. Can you take a few steps back?

The hostility you exude is suffocating.

“The other day, I…….”

“Lorenzo.”

All of us flinched at the familiar voice.

Lorenzo, who looked blankly toward Isaac, immediately backed away. Anyway, this rude bastard.

Why is the atmosphere so scary? Am I being too bright?

Maybe that scoundrel misunderstood that I was deliberately kicking because I didn’t want to accept this kids’ apologies at all? Ugh, pity.

“Hahaha, I’ve forgotten everything, so don’t worry about anything…….”

“You don’t look good.”

My husband cut off my words, as I hurriedly tried to control the situation. I think it means that I’m not managing my facial expressions properly.

No, I’ve been smiling a lot.

It’s a bit dizzy, probably because of the aftermath of vomiting after a long time, but more than that, the dark energy that your friends and her sibling give off is more fatal.
