Chapter 289: 290

Chapter 290

TL: Zimmings

After talking to my family, I quietly looked at the clock.

‘I need to see Adrian soon.’

I’m worried about Adrian in the bedroom, so I want to check his condition.

I got off the sofa while looking at my family.

“Then I’ll just…”

“Where are you going?”

“Huh?!”

Oh my.

Without realizing it, I answered like a guilty person.

Isaac looked at me strangely.

“What?”

I quickly tilted my head, pretending to be fine.

“What is it?”

‘I have to calm down. If I get caught, he’ll die.’

Not me, but Adrian.

As I pretended to be fine, Isaac leaned on the sofa with his arms folded.

“Is this a question that deserves such a surprise? Unless you’re going for a walk back to the vatican, or hiding any flies in your room.”

My heart skipped a beat.

What does he mean by flies in my room?

I wasn’t even this nervous when I was investigated for the meteor incident in the shopping district.

When I opened my mouth to make excuses,

“It’s not going to happen!”

Isaac supported the back of his head with both hands.

‘He had a good intuition but is a simple person.’

‘Isaac is simple, but the others are…’

Henry and Johann were still looking at me with suspicious expressions. I made an excuse quickly.

“I’m going to release the Duke of Amity.”

“Duke of Amity?”

“Yes.”

“Can’t we hold on to him a little longer? The world doesn’t even dare to think that he’s been kidnapped.”

When I kidnapped him, I mimicked his handwriting and left a letter in his mansion.

[I have something to investigate, so I’m going to leave the city for a while. It should be done as secretly as possible, please act normally so that people don’t notice that I’m out of the city. I’ll ask you guys to take care of the mansion. Just ask for Viscount Sislex’s help.

P.S. I want you to deliver a red lily to the nanny’s grave on my behalf on the 17th.]

In the note, I deliberately wrote about the nanny of Duke Amity that others did not know.

So that they believe that it’s the duke who left a letter.

For this reason, no one knew about his kidnapping.

“But if he continues to didn’t show himself, there will be people who doubt it.”

Ishak looked at me.

“Do we need to keep the Duke of Amity alive?”

“……Isaac is like a real villain at times like this.”

I took a deep breath and said.

“If I kill him now, I’ll experience the aftermath. And he’s still useful.”

“But don’t you think he’ll talk about it after he’s released?”

“That…….”

“Kid, it’s unfortunate, but you have to admit that he’s a man of great influence over the people.”

“…….”

“Do you think that the saying of Duke Amity is the people’s heart was for nothing? He is the hero of the people and the most beloved nobleman.”

If such a person says, “I’ve been kidnapped by Dubblede,” the temple would take this chance to attack us.

“They will say Dubblede is a villain who harmed the hero. What the villain says is unbelievable. There may also be a reason why the temple has been attacking Dubblede.”

The story can be twisted. If that happens, the things we’ve worked hard for can turn into ashes all at once.

Isaac looked at me with a worried expression, and I smiled.

“How about thinking the other way around?”

“The other way?”

“For example, what if Amity is on my side?”

“The people who believe in Amity will completely turn their backs on the temple…”

“You know now he’s useful right?”

Having said that, I quickly turned the doorknob.

“Then I have to go see the Duke of Amity, so stop interrogating me!”

I quickly left the room.

I brought up the Duke of Amity to make an excuse to go see Adrian, but come to think of it, he is a really useful person.

‘I have to appease the Duke of Amity, meet the Duke of Grimoire, find out what he was trying to do with Mina, and send Adrian back.’

Busy, busy!

I arrived in front of my door and looked around.

‘Okay, nobody’s here.’

I asked the maids to prevent anyone from coming around my room, but I’m very anxious.

I opened the door and went in.

Adrian was still asleep.

I crouched down by the bedside and stared at his face.

“Foolish.”

How can he give it to me until he faint?

I slightly touched his eyelashes.

“Your eyelashes are long…”

“…….”

“Your nose is really sharp. I’m going to get cut. Your lips…”

When my hand slid down to his lips.

“Ouch!”

He bit my finger.

It didn’t hurt at all because he bit it lightly, but I was surprised by what I was doing.

When I hurriedly pulled my hand, he smiled.

“Wha- what! Why are you pretending to be asleep while you’re awake?”

“I’m sorry.”

He got up and leaned against the head of the bed. He must’ve felt drowsy because he’s still very tired.

“Did you finish what you were doing well?”

“Huh? Oh, thanks.”

“Good.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

He reached out to me. He smoothed my tangled bangs and looked at me with tired eyes.

“I’m glad.”

A hoarse voice.

A drowsy expression.

Half-closed eyes.

“I don’t want to see it.”

“What is it, Leblaine?”

“You look at me like you’re trying to seduce me.”

“… Does it look like that?”

“Yes!”

Looking at me with slightly bigger eyes, he soon burst into laughter.

“I see.”

My heart flutters because it seems like he responded like that to not make me shy.

“Adrian, I was thinking about it.”

“Yes.”

“It’s better to do it like this.”

“What?”

I nodded with a serious face.

“Holding hands on the 100th day, kissing the back of the hand on the 200th day, and kissing the lips on the 1st year.”

“…….”

“It’s not like it’s the first time I’ve done something like this, but after researching the data, these are people’s average.”

“… Is that really the average?”

“I think it’s a little slow, but we have to be careful about things like this…”

“But we’ve already kissed.”

“That’s why I said it.”

I nodded my head with a serious expression and continued.

“I looked into it and found that if the progress is too fast, there is a high possibility of falling into lust.”

“Where did you research it?”

“Pampargy.”

“… Are you talking about Pampargy, a painting magazine?”

“That’s right.”

Adrian looked at me with a bewildered expression.

“Isn’t that… an analysis error because you only saw a magazine with such stories?”

“The article in the painting magazine also had the same relationship as us.”

“…….”

“They are the children of powerful people, but their family’s ideals are different yet they fell in love with each other. The lovers, who couldn’t meet often due to opposition from the girl’s family, focused only on physical relationships to make the short time useful, and the two couldn’t enjoy their time properly. The man ended up cheating on the woman he met on the beach, and the angry woman ended up debuting as an opera singer…”

“Are you talking about ‘Lady Apricot Playing With Fire?'”

“Right! That’s the title! How do you know?”

“Jin likes it. That’s a novel that minors can’t read.”

“Laura told me that the previous one is also popular.”

“Madam Rottweiler.”

“That’s right! How do you know?”

“Jin likes it.”

I nodded, thinking, ‘Aha, Jin must really like racy things.’ and Adrian burst into laughter.

“Are you being careful or are you scared?”

“What?”

“Your relationship with me.”

As I flinched, he whispered, lightly resting his forehead on mine.

“I don’t care about the average. We can go at our own pace.”

“…Isn’t it annoying for you? Aren’t you going to get angry?”

“No. It’s natural to be afraid of relationships with many obstacles.”

I looked at him with a puzzled expression and mumbled.

“I’m actually…”

“You were worried that your relationship with me would hurt your family?”

“…….”

“It doesn’t matter, Leblaine. I’m fine with the second one. Because you’re my only one.”

“Did you date a lot of other people before you met me?”

I looked at Adrian, narrowed my eyes and said.

“I’m a beginner, but you seem like a veteran. It’s unfair.”

He hugged me as if he had lost and burst into laughter.

It was then.

Knock, knock!

I heard a knock.

“Kid! Come out!”

Gasp.

I quickly buried Adrian under the blanket.
