Reason for Refusal (4)

Mela calmed herself and wrote a letter.
Elsia must have had a reason for declining the marriage proposal.
She was a child who had no greed, was wise, and could control herself as they lived together and she watched her.
Because things had changed in so many ways, she decided it would be best to meet and talk in person as soon as possible.
Count Recesil is closer to the capital, so he should be able to meet Elsia at the banquet if he moves quickly.
Mela spoke firmly as she handed the completed letter to the butler.
“We’re running out of time. Let him have an early lunch and urge him to leave early. Is Niel’s accelerated horse still in the Marquis? Give it those words.”
Everything is going to be fine. Mela trying to get her hopeful thoughts. She wanted to ask Elsia right away why she refused, but she wasn’t there. In any case, listening to Niel has never resulted in anything good.
Mela, who cursed her eldest son, decided to think positively, recalling that she still sent a lot of the most beautiful dresses, jewelry, and well-mannered maids.
Aiden can’t even go crazy saying to Ixion is a waste after seeing Elsia transform into a different person.
It tasted oddly savory to her.
******
Ixion sent a marriage proposal to Elsia without hesitation after dealing with this and that at the Imperial Palace.
He didn’t want Aiden’s help with the proposal, so he only wrote one line after some thought.
His writing, which he knew was based on the writing principle, was straightforward.
「I have so much grace for you that I want to repay you with marriage, so I hope you will come to the capital as soon as possible.」
Surprisingly, this was Ixion’s first letter to a woman.
The letter was carefully attached with dried pressed flowers after completing a simple and clear sentence, as if sending a royal edict to a knight.
It was because he remembered that some of the letters he received were stamped.
‘Because it’s pretty, the more of it you put, the better it is.’
That’s how a marriage proposal with more flowers than letters was made.
He sent the fastest driver to Marquis Evgeny.
Rumors quickly spread in the capital that Prince Ixion had proposed to Elsia Evgeny.
When they heard, ‘The Prince Ixion will soon become the Commander of the Knights,’ those who said it couldn’t be done had no choice but to shut up.
The unprecedented situation has flipped the social world.
If Aiden went anywhere, there was a lot of speculation about ‘How could this happen?’ He shrugged his shoulders and responded each time.
“The new charm drew him in. I had no idea the Prince’s ideal type—was a woman who only wanted to dance with him once in her life. But isn’t that enough?”
Aiden, who has recovered from his panic and returned to his usual slyness, would seriously add.
This is because Aiden, who has already accepted the pairing, has been in charge of socializing.
“I was taken aback by the spirit that day and insisted on recruiting the Knights. The Prince must be more impressed.”
Half a day later, Aiden exaggerated his words, saying, “Prince Ixion couldn’t forget Princess Elsia’s enterprising attitude, so he even sent her a marriage proposal.”
And it was inflated that ‘Prince Ixion sent a letter to her throughout the battlefield against Princess Elsia’s dependable appearance and dragon-like thrust’ after one night.
Aiden played a big role in assisting panicked people to quickly accept this fact.
This was due to his nonchalant and deft tone, which conveyed the impression that everything was natural.
Indeed, if this combination had not been possible, it would have been overturned by his deputy, Aiden.
“Young Lady Elsia is the inspiration for my business.”
Young Lady Irene, who was overjoyed about her friend’s love affair, also joined in, arguing here and there that Elsia’s charms were sufficient.
“I don’t think you realize it, but the Prince and her are a perfect match.”
Their marriage became a foregone conclusion quickly, and everyone eventually accepted it in their own way.
In any case, everyone in the capital was looking forward to the century’s first union.
Of course, no one could have predicted that Elsia would reject Ixion’s proposal.
On a magically enchanted horse, the horseman returned to the capital faster than expected.
The response she had given was a simple rejection.
「You don’t have to pay me back. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope you are always healthy.」
*******
Ixion received a letter of rejection just as he came out of the training hall.
Aiden was unable to control his facial expression. Because it was something no one had considered.
Ixion’s sharp eyes, which deduced the start of all of these events in an instant, were directed at Aiden.
‘She would have wanted to save you at all costs. That’s what love is.’
After that, the question of how the hell happened to Ixion continued.
Of course, Aiden, who had not expected to be rejected, was speechless.
What do you mean, “no”? Even Irene, whom he visited, confirmed Elsia’s feelings.
Ixion’s blue eyes flashed when he raised his head, after he barely said he didn’t know why.
Ixion was a person who never let the slightest question go.
“This fall, the subjugation of monsters goes to the Marquis of Evgeny.”
“….What? If it’s Evgeny—”
“I’ll find out when I meet her in person.”
Ixion would meet her in person and ask her why, as expected.
It couldn’t have progressed this far.
Aiden stared blankly at him before handing him a letter as if he had just thought of it.
“Oh, this is from Marchioness Evgeny.”
Ixion’s face hardened after reading Mela’s letter.
‘Talk to her in person? Things have changed a bit?’
Aiden quickly read the letter passed by Ixion.
「 Elsia doesn’t have a lot of greed. Besides, she’s an incredibly wise kid, so there must be reasons for her refusal.
Elsia left this morning to attend Count Recesil’s harvest banquet on the 21st of the cold wind month.
In any case if you want to talk to Elsia.」
He unconsciously yelled at Ixion, who was deep in thought.
“What are you doing now? The Marchioness’ letter says it all: ‘If you catch it, you’ll catch it, so catch it!'”
“What?”
“Come to think of it, Young Lady Irene said the same thing.”
Aiden spoke quickly and excitedly, recalling a drunken conversation with Irene.
“She went South to forget you because she’s certain it won’t last in the first place.”
“No way, why on earth—”
“Perhaps she thinks he’s nothing in comparison to you, Prince. But of course! Lady Elsia will never stop thinking what we all think! She’s so good at reading politics that the aristocracy manages to capture both of them.”
With a refusal, Ixion stared blankly at the response. For that reason, it didn’t make sense to say no.
“Then let’s get going.”
“Let’s go?”
Aiden poured out words as if all the riddles had been solved.
“To Count Recesil! It’s the 21st of the cold wind month, so if we leave right now, we’ll be there before the end of the banquet.”
“If we want to meet, we will also be subjugating monsters and seeing them in the Marquis with the Knights—”
“What are you talking about?”
Aiden hit his chest and got irritated.
“Are you going to lead the Knights, dressed in the blood of monsters, and question her about why she turned down the marriage proposal? To the person who turned down the proposal because she was still unsure?”
“……”
“Consider my first reaction when the Prince mentioned marriage. Elsia also thought the marriage was too leaning. By looking at the Marchioness’ letter, you can tell right away.”
Ixion was skeptical of his judgment, but he couldn’t leave because he spoke so confidently.
“However, why should we meet at the banquet?”
“Dance at a romantic banquet and make a sweet request! Lady Elsia will not be able to ignore the voice of her heart until the end. Tell the Knights to take it slowly, and we’ll get started right away.”
“I didn’t get an invitation, and I originally didn’t like banquet—”
“In this country, there is no banquet to reject you. And isn’t it time to cover up the cold and hot water?”
They’re getting married, according to rumors in the capital!
Aiden had been the most vocal opponent of the marriage at first, but now that this was no longer the case, he didn’t want the union to fail.
It was because he had already determined that it was his responsibility to give him what he desired.
Aiden grabbed his master’s wrist in a hurry.
*****
When I arrived at Count Recesil, I was lost in thought as I was assigned a guest room before the banquet and dressed up in the lovely dresses and jewelry I had brought with me.
Should I just act as if I don’t know and live in a Marquis? Or do I want to track my body’s abnormal signals?
Will I be able to forget all of the black magic and die in peace? Or discover the truth, which does not appear to be very useful.
“Oh, my lady. You’re so pretty.”
Sera spoke with her hands clasped and her eyes gleaming. Sadly, because her hands were numb, she didn’t do much to decorate me.
The Marquis’ maids, on the other hand, were skilled and quick-witted.
I gently ground my silver hair, which had improved in texture as a result of care, and finished it with my favorite blue hair decoration.
The fashionable ivory dress from the capital has also been re-sewed to fit me perfectly. Instead of the already-out-of-date frills, glittering jewels were embedded like stars.
I adorned my sleek, slender arms with a subtle glittering pearl.
“Your features are so distinct that you don’t need to wear a lot of makeup.”
In the mirror, I gave Sera an embarrassing smile.
Because I gained weight at the 3rd Prince’s birthday banquet, I didn’t hear anything like this.
Niel arrived just as everything was coming to an end.
Niel, who was lavishly decorated, was so bright that even the maids who saw him every day blushed.
