    Damn, was really excited to read this and see how the story unfolds but MC's such a b*tch. Honestly already got bad vibes the moment Zion asked to fake date with MC knowing that his best friend was still heartbroken over her.

    can we not bash Erika, please. I get that she was somewhat cruel to the OG ml but she was also scared of getting thrown aside once the OG fl appeared because in the story Leo was dating Erika but fell in love at first sight with the OG fl if things continued to progress as it was maybe the same thing would've happened again. Also the thing with Leo taking up 3 years to change for her ... ya honestly I feel kinda bad but by then her feelings towards him probably changed and you can't expect them to force feelings.

    Ty for the spoilers guys! I mean after 3 whole years is not like the whole world have to stop so while I pity Leo I'm not heartbroken for him or anything like that: he didn't fight for them, he didn't asked for a better explanation other than "I don't wanna grow attached" and rather than be open and honest with her he went cry somewhere else while fully believing that all he needed to do was be more handsome and powerful to "win her back" and that's lowkey arrogant of him.

    Love is a two way street, those two would never work together cause they don't trust each other's feelings to begin with.

    I agree with you, it's reasonable why the FL choose Zion over him . He is pathetic , assuming sth without explanation- wdy expect boy - he should have done sth ,but he didn't . So it's better to move on with someone else ..

    Ah the same, so far I still like Leo, like he was dumped without knowing why, even though the one who teased Leo first was Erika, But the fault is that Leo also didn't want to hold Erika, ahh I hate triangle stories like this:notworthy:

    Spoiler from chapter 24 to 26. I think this's the continuation of the manhwa after chapter 22.
    24. You trust me, right?


    "Your Excellency, I brought out the tea. May I come in?"

    “……Uh, come in.”

    Leo corrected his disorganized posture, opening his door and staring at the maid entering the room.

    Entering the office, the maid bowed her head and walked near the desk in front of the chair where he was sitting.

    She was Leo's first maid of honor. And the eyes met without notice.

    “…… ”

    Red eyes.

    The color of her eyes was not common.

    Leo couldn't take his eyes off her red eyes.

    “It’s the first time I sees you.”

    The maid replied with a gentle smile.

    "Hello, I'm late to say hello. My name is Juliana. When Your Excellency was out of town, I was a new maid.”

    "Juliana."

    Leo repeated the unfamiliar name several times.

    "Yes, thank you. You can go out."

    The maid, who introduced herself as Juliana, grabbed the hem of her skirt lightly and then turned around.

    The way she greets her is a little different from other maids.

    She feels full of dignity.

    Is she the daughter of a fallen noble?

    Leo watched Juliana as she left the door with his eyes open.

    She was a woman who for some reason made him feel strange without him knowing.


    ***


    "Juliana, was it your will to come as a Marquis?"

    I asked Juliana, almost lying on the sofa.

    She was organizing the tea cup I drank.

    "Yeah?"

    It was a re-question that came back to my somewhat abrupt question.

    "So, was it your will to decide to work for the Marquis of Kernels among several aristocratic families?"

    I was wondering.

    The reason why Juliana came to the Marquis of the Kernaels is because of a valuable recommendation she received from the Mage Tower.

    Juliana put all of the teacups on the tray, and she stopped moving.

    She said in a straight posture, with a daunting glance.

    "Well, let's just say I got a revelation."

    Timing. It was a word that matched her red eyes. It feels full of religious piety.

    I tilted my head.

    Was there even in the novel that Juliana received a religious revelation?

    The answer came right away.

    No, there was no such content.

    Juliana smiled softly and she added her words.

    "I can't go against the revelation with the touch of salvation."

    “What does that mean?”

    “The moment I go against it, the savior who saved me will break my neck.”

    "You... did anything bad happen to you?"

    Juliana had an ambiguous face that was neither affirming nor denying it.

    Then she walked one step in front of me and sat down on her knees under her sofa.

    For some reason, I felt like I shouldn't have to lie down, so I woke up.

    Juliana, kneeling straight on her knees, closed her eyes, placing her hands neatly on my knees.

    Above her closed eyelids, her black lashes were really long.

    The moment I was admiring her eyelashes, an overwhelming voice that seemed to concentrate her seat began to ring.

    "I got a second life. I pay the price for the life you got again. If I don't follow, what's given to me is..."

    Juliana opened her closed eyes and set her eyes straight with me.

    She said then she followed.

    "Death."

    If you do not pay the price for the life you have regained, it will be death to you.

    No tense situation occurred, but a cold sweat flowed down behind me.

    I took my breath low.

    What did I hear?

    As if she had finished speaking, Juliana raised her kneeling knee.

    “……”

    She took off her skirt a few times and acted as if nothing had happened.

    But I was a little lost.

    “Jul- Juliana. What did you just say? The second life, death, the price…”

    What kind of secret do you have?

    Juliana answered back without hesitation.

    “In simple terms, that’s it. In the end, whether arbitrarily or unintentionally, I had a reason to have to come to the Marquis of Kernels.”

    “……”

    "And eventually I met a beautiful Erica."

    Juliana gave me a small wink.

    Pounding.

    No, wait. ......Excited?

    My heart beats at her wink.

    Oh My God.

    It was the first time in my life that I felt my heart shaking to woman.

    “I don't know how great it is to have a beautiful master.”

    She trembled and started grabbing the tray she had placed on the table.

    Soon she tried to leave her room, but I hurriedly called her.

    "Wait a minute! Juliana.”

    It was a completely impulsive act that held to catch her.

    "Do you have any more questions?"

    “……Hmmm. Shall we drink wine together?”

    Asking to drink a glass of wine is also a completely impulsive act.

    Juliana tilted her head.

    "Yes? At this time?"

    She deserved to be questioned. It was close to midnight.

    I couldn't fall asleep because of various things that had happened.

    My head was filled with miscellaneous thoughts.

    If I drink a few glasses of wine, I might be able to fall asleep.

    “So, shall I ask you to drink a congratulatory note for being my maid of honor? You say it's an honor to serve me, and I'll give you a glorious opportunity to drink wine with me.”

    And I wanted to find out a little bit more about what Juliana really meant for this strange word.

    Juliana giggled quietly as I condescended with an awkward excuse.

    "Laugh."

    After a moment of thought, Juliana soon accepted my offer.

    “It’s great if it’s wine. I'm a heavy drinker again."

    "Oh."

    Juliana fluttered with her red lips as if excitedly.

    "Even if Lady Erica gets drunk on wine and becomes insincere, rest assured that I will not touch you even a fingertip.

    "Huh?"

    "You believe me, don't you?"

    Juliana squinted in her right eye.

    At that moment, I felt a strange sense of incongruity and a sense of deception at the same time.

    The reason I felt depressed was because Juliana's words were often I heard when I drank wine with the opposite sex, I often heard them.

    Is it because she is the female protagonist? It feels so cool.

    “Okay, I'll trust you. Then can you bring some wine to my room?”

    "Just leave it to me."

    Juliana left the parlor with a humble look.

    "……Oh, it felt really cool."

    I had a vague feeling.


    ***


    Juliana.

    In fact, because of her, I decided to break up with her Leo, whom I had met well.

    So I could have resent Juliana enough.

    But strangely enough, I didn't resent her after actually meeting her.

    I can't hate her, maybe...…

    “Lady Erica. I brought cheese and wine.”

    Juliana, who brought red wine and several kinds of cheese, called me. Her nice smile was a bonus.

    Yeah, maybe that smile is why I can't hate her completely.

    A nice smile that buys someone's favor at once.

    A smile that would take even those who dislike her.

    There was such a charm in Juliana's smile.

    I belatedly beckoned to Juliana, standing far and waiting for my order.

    "Come and sit here."

    "Yes."

    She then sat on the sofa across from me.

    A wine glass was placed on a small table between the sofas and filled with wine.

    We held the glasses together to make a visor-sounding sound.

    I drank a cup thoroughly, but Juliana couldn't put my cup against her mouth.

    "You don't drink?"

    “……Even if it's a congratulatory drink, it doesn't seem the right thing to drink wine facing Lady Erica on the subject of being a maid. Would it really be okay?"

    Juliana said hesitantly.

    “What does it matter. I'm okay. Drink, drink.”

    "Then, you definitely gave me permission, so I'll drink without hesitation."

    "Yes."

    She drank the whole cup to the point where she was ashamed of her hesitation.

    "It tastes great."

    The appreciation was also very pleasant.

    So when one cup became two, two became three, and then I drank about five, I got a little drunk.

    Contrary to me, Juliana's face was just fine.

    Her white skin, transparent enough to show the insides, showed no redness.

    She said he was a drunkard, and I guess it wasn't an exaggeration.

    “Juliana, Hicup.”

    I slowly blinked my eyes and called her name.

    “Yes, Lady Erica.”

    She answered without a hitch.

    I seem to be the only one who started to look like Juliana as two.

    "You know... do you believe in destiny?"

    Juliana, who enjoyed chewing a piece of cheese, repeated the word Destiny.

    "Destiny. Destiny...…”

    “I mean. Hicup. I really believe in fate.”

    The world in which each person's role exists. I believed that fate would exist in this world.

    No, I originally believed it firmly, but in recent years, it seems that the belief has been shaken a little.

    “I also generally believe in it.”

    "Really?"

    “Then do you believe that you have someone you like?”

    She readily accepted my words.

    “Maybe.”

    "You'll like someone soon."

    I spoke fairly firmly on the subject I took.

    "Me?"

    “Yes, you.”

    You are destined to like Leo. What would happen if you actually encountered Leo.

    “Lady Erica. Is it sad that I will be liking someone? You look sad.”

    “……”

    "Please, do not be sad. I don't want to do anything that would make Lady Erica sad. Before I like anyone, I'm already your maid of honor.”

    Juliana smiled again. Then, I felt a sad feeling that the source was unknown.

    She has a talent for fascinating people.

    I said, lifting the glass high.

    "Let's drink another drink."

    Our cups met again with a chang-sound.

    So we drank a few glasses of wine constantly.

    Before long, my body began to stagger without a subject, but to my surprise, Juliana was still fine.

    Are you not getting drunk?

    I gave her a question with a badly twisted pronunciation.

    “Juliana. Let's talk a little more about that revelation earlier.”
    25. I don't want to meet a girl other than you


    Juliana tapped with her fingertips over her arms, crossing her arms.

    She seemed to be very worried about whether to confess or not.

    "That's…… I'll tell you after we get closer to each other.”

    "It's deadly. You're my maid and I'm your master. You have to obey me."

    “Oh, Lady Erica. . You're very drunk."

    "Yeah, I'm drunk. Hehehe."

    I think there are three Juliana now.

    I barely put the wine glass I was holding on the table, and then hung up on the sofa.

    My eyelids were too heavy because of the drunkenness.

    Oh, I shouldn't fall asleep now.

    I need to question Juliana a little bit more.

    But I closed my eyes completely without lifting my closing eyelids.

    Just before the snow closed, the last thing I saw was the scenery outside the window where dawn spread.


    ***


    When did I fall asleep?

    When I suddenly came to my senses, I and Juliana were tangled on the bed.

    I couldn't remember how I got to bed with her.

    I grabbed my greasy head and raised my half-opened eyelids completely.

    The surroundings were bright, but it still seemed to be dawn.

    I looked at the bluish dawn sky for a moment, then looked at Juliana, who was close to my body.

    Juliana was in a very deep sleep with her hand on my waist and one of her legs on my leg.

    There was no sign of waking up from her, spitting out her even breath.

    I pulled her half-cuddled body down and peered into her face.

    On the white face, the black eyelashes are really long. If you raise your pencil, it'll go up.

    Looking back, I thought it was really pretty.

    It was Juliana's hot breath that suddenly felt while admiring her long eyelashes.

    Every time her breath touched my cheek, the tip of my toes for no reason ran into force.

    Somehow, the heat of my whole body became more and I even felt the inside of my mouth dry.

    It's a bit odd to feel for the same woman.

    I thought I shouldn't be stuck like this anymore, so I decided to get out of her arms completely.

    Carefully remove her arms from my waist, and even her legs on my thighs.

    I put it out.

    Soon, when I tried to pull myself out completely, it caught my eye.

    A silver brooch symbolizing royal family.

    It was shining with it hanging near her chest.

    I reached out to the silver brooch without realizing it.

    The moment my fingertips touched the surface of the brooch, her eyes, thought to have been asleep, flashed.

    “……!”

    She looked at me with red eyes and grabbed my wrist that was touching the brooch.

    Then she uttered as if warning.

    Her voice was fierce and sharp.

    “Lady Erica, excuse me because I got drunk. Sorry."

    “……Yes."

    I replied, stuttering.

    "Then I'll go back now."

    After apologizing neatly, she raised her lying body halfway up.

    Juliana looked down at me, still lying down, with a slightly loose front.

    Then she smiled.

    I'm sure I have a silly face right now.

    It was then that Juliana's upper body leaned toward me.

    She whispered as she handed my hair down over her forehead behind my ear.

    "Erica, get some more sleep. It is still too early for the lady to wake up.”

    “……”

    “Please, have a good dream.”

    Juliana's soft lips touched on my forehead in an instant and then took her lips.

    She turned back with a faint smile, straightening her bent waist.

    A wonderful smile that thrills everyone, regardless of gender.

    Pounding.

    "......uh?"

    Pounding?

    Am I pounding again?

    I took a deep breath, grabbing it near my heart.

    It's because I don't know the cool side of the female protagonist, I keep getting excited.

    It was a really strange excitement.

    Apart from feeling excited about her, I felt a little bit bitter.

    Even she makes my heart flutter, but I was wondering how much she will captivating Leo's heart.

    I sighed.

    The drunkenness went away, but the sigh I exhaled was still full of drunkenness.

    I closed my eyes and tried to sleep again.

    However, the stiffness of my heart did not disappear quickly for some reason, and the mysterious words that Juliana left behind lingered in my head.

    'I got a second life. Pay the price for the life I get again. If I don't follow, what I'll get...…’

    “……death."

    It was a little disappointing that I couldn't figure out one thing about the true meaning of the words.

    Maybe the revelation had something to do with the reason Juliana became my maid, not Leo's.

    I tried to recall the contents of the novel a little more, but I couldn't solve the mystery that Juliana left.

    Not a little bit


    ***


    The next day, the hangover was tremendous.

    I wasn't feeling nauseous, but I could hardly wake up.

    I haven't been able to get out of bed for hours. I fell asleep and woke up repeatedly.

    In the meantime, I think I heard the worried words from Juliana.

    It seems like she wiped my face.

    I'll have to drink moderately from next time.

    I took a nap for a while with my belated awakening.

    Even when I woke up from my sleep, my surroundings were still bright.

    My head, which had been stung by a hangover, seemed to have gotten a little better. It was a relief.

    The moment I was yawning for a long time, there was a fact that I suddenly realized.

    The back of my back is very hot. As if someone's warmth touched me.

    In addition, I felt the weight of someone leaning on my back.

    Did Juliana come back to my bed again?

    Thinking if that really happened, I turned to the other side.

    The weight I felt behind my back was someone's forehead.

    He came up to my bed t will and was crouching with his forehead on my back.

    The body in contact with him was quite close.

    “……”

    I looked at his face without waking him with his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.

    His face, engulfed in the summer sun coming from the bedside window, looked so beautiful.

    His face looked cleaner than he had seen in the past, and his pale silvery eyelashes seem to be longer.

    And what? Why are his lips without anything applied so red?

    My gaze soon shifted to the single blemishes on his face.

    It was the faint scratch on his cheek.

    As I touched his cheek lightly with my fingertips, I saw his eyes shaking.

    Oh, you weren't asleep.

    I recited his name.

    “Zion Leppe. Why did you fall asleep on my bed?”

    Zion pretended to sleep with his pretense. I pinched his cheek a little.

    “I know you're not sleeping. Yoi just got caught.”

    “......Aya.”

    There was a groan between Zion's red lips.

    He gently opened his closed eyes and smiled cutely.

    His golden eyes that reached me sparkled beautifully.

    "How did you get in here?"

    "On foot."

    “How did you come to my room?”

    “I also walk.”

    “Did no one stop you?”

    “Erica. I have a face that people like and have the power that everyone recognizes.”

    "Why are you bragging about yourself all of a sudden?"

    Zion did not mind my scolding and continued his word.

    “Who is going to stop such a Tower Master Zion Leppe? With a single smile, they said, 'Welcome, Sir Zion Leppe.’, Erica.”

    “They will guide me to your room right away.” He said.

    It was obvious that it was nonsense.

    But when he spoke so naturally, I wondered if that really happened.

    Oh My God.

    “I have to fire all of the Marquis’ servants. I can't believe they lead an outsider to my room.”

    Zion grumbled back.

    “Erica. Be patient with that. I have face too.”

    His face is cute, so he was quite popular.

    "Okay, I'll give you a break."

    "Would you like to not see it twice?"

    Zion looked at me with a bright smile.

    It was a smile that made me unable to say no.

    “I completely wrote in the heart. I'll let you go three times."

    As soon as my answer came out, Zion's face suddenly came close.

    He naturally tilted his face and kissed me briefly on the forehead.

    Kiss. The area where his lips touched was quite hot.

    The concentration was quite thick to call it the warmth of the lips that touched and fell briefly.

    "I feel like everything is going well today."

    What did he do to my heart, I followed him and smiled.

    "By the way, is something happened?"

    Only then did Zion wrinkle her eyebrows, as if recalling her purpose.

    It is not unfamiliar to see him belatedly recalling his own intentions.

    You used to be.

    “……Because of my stepmother. Despite our passionate presence, they eventually arranged a meeting with a young lover."

    "So what do you want me to do?"

    “My lover is watching, but I can’t meet another girl.”

    "That I'm your girlfriend... is it me?"

    Zion was giggling.

    "Answer."

    A meeting with Zion and other woman. I imagined the situation in which he smiled beautifully at another woman.

    Zion has a wonderful smile that makes it impossible to say negative things.

    And another woman who is not me to look at that smile.

    Perhaps the woman was very ecstatic.

    When I imagined it there, I didn't feel very good.

    Is that because I am acting as Zion's girlfriend?

    Or is it an upset from a different mind?

    “So where is the meeting place?"

    “Not far from here.”

    Zion smoothed over the back of my defenseless hand.

    Then he began to seduce me with a voice full of temptation.

    “I want you to take care of it for sure. Whether the Lady I meet is pretty or not...”

    “……”

    “Because I don't want to meet a girl other than you.”
    26. Jealousy is proof of good health


    I couldn't turn my gaze away.

    I glanced at his golden eye drawing a smooth curve.

    Strangely, his words felt truly sincere. He can't be sincere to me. Knowing that.

    In the novel, Zion basically liked women very much. He was a playboy for no reason.

    It was thought that the liking and interest he had for me came from that tendency.

    Because I'm Leo's ex-girlfriend, and I'm the kind of woman who gave him a cruel breakup, so it's probably the interest he gave me.

    It was a fact that I knew too well from my head.

    But when I realized, my lips were answering at will.

    “I'll be ready soon.”

    That would be the answer from instinct.

    He ask me with such a pretty smile, but I can't help it.

    I can not. No, I don't.


    ***


    It didn't take too long to get ready to go out. It was because I had many maids.

    I just sat still, but all of a sudden, a light makeup applied to my face.

    Soon I put on a pretty dress that wasn't excessive, and finally looked in the full-length mirror.

    “……”

    Good. It's a beautiful figure that no one will ever grapple with.

    I even put on white gloves with delicate embroidery, and then I left the room.

    As soon as I left the room, I encountered an unexpected sight.

    There were two men and women on the corridor where the summer sun shattered through the window on the wall, giving off a friendly atmosphere.

    The man with soft silver hair had a charming smile, and the woman who stood in front of him also had a beautiful smile around her mouth.

    It was Zion and Juliana.

    The two were constantly smiling at what they were talking about.

    Juliana was looking straight into the eyes of Zion, as if she wasn't at all concerned about her status.

    Indeed, I thought it was a bright Juliana aspect.

    When white Zion's cheeks seemed a little reminiscent, anxiety suddenly hit me.

    Of course, it wasn't entirely that jealousy was the cause of the anxiety.

    I remembered what Zion said the other day.

    His answer to my question as to whether he fell in love with Juliana.

    He said, 'I didn't fall for her. If I had a crush on her, I wouldn't be able to stay still. I'm sure I went to her every day and begged her. I'm a person who is blind to blind to love.’

    At that time, he clearly said he was not in love with Juliana.

    But that's what I thought.

    What if he didn't fall in love with Juliana only when she came to the Tower?

    So, to put it straight, yes.

    Zion is destined to fall in love with Juliana, as defined in the novel.

    But when she came to the tower, he said he wasn't in love with Juliana, he said that because the time hasn't come.

    He can fall in love with her at any time.

    But not then.

    When the time comes, Zion will feel in love for Juliana.

    “......Erica?”

    It was the voice of Zion that brought me out of my deep thoughts.

    "Ah……”

    I approached Zion without my knowledge and grabbed him by the wrist.

    Zion asked anxiously.

    "Erica, are you okay?"

    I replied, belatedly seeking calmness.

    "Two people. Except for me, are you talking about something interesting."

    She tried to pretend to be okay, but it was unclear whether it actually sounded like that.

    I slipped his wrist, which I had grabbed, and I swept away his hair.

    He raised his chin to look like me, but the reaction he returned was Zion's little giggle.

    ……I think my face will turn red for some reason.

    "It's been a while since I saw her and said hello. Erica, you know that. Juliana got a letter of recommendation from the Mage Tower."

    Zion made a nasty laughter, and he squeezed a couple of times over my cheek.

    "Erica, did you feel bad about talking to the two of us without you?"

    I pretended to be cool, but he really noticed what I care about.

    "Hmmm. No. Why would I?"

    I replied with a blunt voice, but this time even Juliana was involved.

    "There was nothing that Lady Erica could be concerned about."

    She was nodding her head as if she knew it.

    You look like you know everything.

    “……? My, what were I concerned about?”

    Zion held my hand and said,

    “Erica. Jealousy is not a bad thing. It's proof that you're healthy.”

    “……”

    I am not jealous.

    I was worried that Zion would fall in love with Juliana.

    The words lingered in my mouth, but in the end the words I spoke were different.

    “If I was healthy one more time, I’ll catch someone.”

    I shook my head from side to side and surrendered.

    Yeah, let's say I was jealous.

    Honestly, I can't affirm that I wasn't jealous at all.

    Juliana was looking at me as if I was cute.

    “Lady Erica, health is still the most important thing. You only drank a few glasses of wine yesterday, and you don't know how worried I was to see you were struggling during the day.”

    Having said that, she raised her hand a little.

    Her hand stretched out as if it could reach somewhere, and soon stayed in the air.

    Juliana said, "Oops." As she made a sound of belated realization sound, then she scratched her cheek.

    Perhaps she was trying to stroke my head.

    It's not enough for Juliana to look at me as if she's cute, so did she try to mess with my hair?

    "haha. Maybe I should have stopped Erica yesterday……”

    She added a shrewd word. It was Zion who answered Juliana's words.

    “What, you two. Did you drink wine without me? Is that also at night?”

    Zion's voice was full of dissatisfaction. Juliana didn't care about his dissatisfaction, and she grumbled.

    "Why? Is Zion jealous this time?"

    “……”

    “I drank very harshly. Lady Erica is my master, and I can't help it with the liquor she recommends."

    Zion stared at Juliana for a few seconds in silence.

    His eyes were quite fierce, unbelievably eyes that drew only soft curves.

    What, are you really worried?

    "Next time, call me too. It's absolutely forbidden to drink only two people."

    Zion's voice was quite firm.

    His voice seemed not to back down on anything.

    As I continued to chew on his words, I suddenly felt strange.

    It was just because he spoke late at night like I was drinking with a man.

    Juliana is a woman and she is my maid, is it wrong to drink wine with her?

    I was puzzled and tried to ask Zion, but his words took a step further.

    “Anyway, let's go now, Erica. The time is running out.”

    "……yes, I see."

    I felt uneasy, but I did as Zion led me.

    It must be an insignificant worry.

    "Have a safe trip, Lady Erica!"

    I heard Juliana's cheerful voice behind my back.

    At the same time as I heard her voice, I saw Zion's eyebrows lightly wrinkled.

    Maybe the two people. Surprisingly, I thought they might have a bad relationship.

    He even wrote her a letter of recommendation. I thought they'd get along really well...

    “Zion, you, aren't you getting along with Juliana?”

    When I asked so, Zion laughed at her.

    “It's a relationship that's neither good nor bad.”

    What kind of relationship is that?


    ***


    Zion opened the door of the carriage that had been stopped at Marquis house. Then he approached me one step closer and reached out his hand.

    There was no unnaturalness in the series of escorts.

    He only acted sequentially as if he had no meaning, that is, strongly imprinted in his head.

    Does it mean that he has been a playboy and has a lot of escorts?

    I slowly put my fingertips on Zion's open palm.

    "What are you thinking about?"

    I replied with a small smile.

    "Think of you."

    "It's an honor."

    What kind of face would you make if you know I thought about how many women you escorted?

    Soon we got into the carriage.

    Zion informed the coachman of our destination in advance, and the carriage ran without hesitation.

    I looked out of the window in the carriage and asked Zion.

    “Look at your opponent. What's their profile like.”

    Among the beautiful female nobles of the Liechten Kingdom, who was the Lady who accepted the meeting with Zion?

    Do I know her?

    It was said that if it was a groundbreaker, it was a world-class.

    It was clear that if you knew the other person, it would be advantageous to deal with that person.

    “Do you know Lady Haribo? She’s the second lady of the Marquis Goldberen. She's my match today."

    "Lady Haribo."

    If it was Lady Haribo, it was Lady, which I knew well.

    Lady Haribo is famous for her chewy and soft skin.

    I wasn't really close to her, and she was just a woman I've seen a few times at a banquet.

    She seemed to have heard rumors that she was a woman with an easygoing personality.

    Somehow I felt a tight fit in my shoulder.

    It was quite nerve-racking to deal with an unfriendly opponent. Of course, I am not the one who carries it either.

    I fully felt the lukewarm summer breeze coming through the open window, and I held myself together.

    I don't know why I'm passionate about it, but that's what I thought.

    We have to make Lady Haribo never wish to meet with Zion again.

    "I heard that Lady Haribo also doesn't seem to have a meeting with me. In short, this is a very formal meeting place arranged by family members. Normally, I wouldn't have gone out for this kind of event, but..."

    Zion continued with a giggle.

    “Because I have Erica acting as a lover. I want to see what if I partake this meeting with you.”

    I then stared at Zion's face.

    His golden eye toward me was shining brightly.

    It was a glance that seemed to have found something interesting.

    "You look like you're going to have a lot of fun?"

    "Does it shown?"

    "Yes."

    Cough Cough. What do you think? Can you do well?"

    I answered with my tongue flicking over my lips.

    "It hurts my mouth to say it. Of course I'll solve it well."

    Trust me. I made a trustworthy smile.

    Then, through the summer breeze, the sound of Zion's laughter grew thicker.
