«You were too reckless.»
Park Sang-jin opened his mouth, which he had kept tightly shut since entering his office.
«As the Fairy you should know how to cherish your body. Even just a moment ago, you could have gotten yourself injured.»
He felt horrible even thinking about it now.
Even if the Italian ambassador, Zenko Myron, had been insulting, he was a member of the Tredeci, a player with the skill of the Twelve.
But she, a non-player, had lost her temper and provoked him.
She was the only person in Korea who possessed the gift of White Silver .
As a fairy, it was important for her to maintain her dignity, but she wanted him to realize that her presence would determine the future of the country.
«From now on, please give us orders. The bodyguards are here not only to protect you, but to destroy those who pose a threat to you.
«You still seem to think of yourself as an actress beloved by the people, but it’s time you realized that you’re a fairy goddess-«
«Park Sang-jin.»
Ga-eul, who had been listening, interrupted.
«Is that your opinion as an escort or as the manager of actress Im Ga-eul?»
Sang-jin remained silent.
Taking a step back, he hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
He couldn’t tell what she wanted him to say. He could read her mind as a former actress, but he couldn’t read her mind as a woman who chose to be a fairy.
His answer, after a long silence, was neither.
«…With all due respect, I hope you will have the awareness of being a fairy.»
«Ugh, coward.»
«What?»
San-jin glared at Jung-hyun in disbelief.
Jung-hyun shook his head and pouted his lips.
«As long as you’re good at your job, you still don’t know how women feel.»
«Lee Jung-hyun. You’re not in a position to say that. Didn’t I clearly tell you to keep your feelings to yourself?»
«Yes. I’m sorry.»
Jung-hyun, who had been acting like an ass, quickly straightened up.
Ga-eul sighed and waved her hands in the air.
«I’ve had enough, so I’ll forgive you this time. But… you know?»
«Yes. I know. I won’t do that next time.»
Jung-hyun was relieved that his punishment didn’t end with a pay cut.
He’d be happy with a pay cut, but he didn’t want to be thrown over a mountain and told to learn the basics all over again.
Then, as he left to prepare the cake, he brought up a story he’d heard from the scribe earlier.
«By the way, I heard they brought a Maserati GranTurismo as a commemoration of their visit from Italy.»
«Maserati? GranTurismo?»
«Yes. I heard it from an employee at the Italian embassy. They said it was a car that Big Mama favored.»
«They gave that to me now?»
Im Ga-eul put down her pen and asked with a tense expression.
It was an overwhelming presence that made one take a step back.
Jung-hyun apologized and corrected himself.
«That’s why I asked as well. I asked why they were giving the car that Big Mama used to ride. They said the Maserati GranTurismo is not only bulletproof but also made of a premium alloy with strong resistance to mana…»
«Jung-hyun. Are you a guard or a car dealer? Just give me the main point.»
«Yes, I’m sorry. They said Big Mama wanted to present you with the GranTurismo, expressing her affection.»
Im Ga-eul glared at him with discomfort.
Jung-hyun felt like a frog in front of a snake under the scrutinizing gaze.
Hey, Sang-jin hyung! Help me out a bit!
He glanced at Sang-jin with his peripheral vision.
Sang-jin turned his head. He didn’t want to jump into the fire unnecessarily.
«…So they gave it to me as a gift from Big Mama. Yeah, tell them to let you drive it.»
«…What? A Maserati? The GranTurismo?»
Even so, Jung-hyun couldn’t understand.
It may have been a car someone else had driven, but it was a Maserati. It was the GranTurismo.
It was a sedan manufactured by a world-renowned sports car company.
Moreover, it was not only bulletproof, but also perfectly engineered with mana resistance, a premium vehicle.
Did she not know how much the value of overseas sports cars had risen in the domestic market since «End of the Century Destruction»?
Jung-hyun inwardly raised an eyebrow.
«I don’t ride cars that others have ridden. Besides, I prefer Lamborghini.»
«Lamborghini is great, but Maserati is also amazing.»
«I understand that you didn’t really like those Italian spaghetti bastards, but still, do you want a sports car, especially someone else’s?»
«Well, I’m not particularly fond of those Italian spaghetti kids either, but it seems like Big Mama genuinely wants to give you the car she used to ride as a sign of affection…»
«No, it won’t work. You will go to the mountains for a while…»
«Yes, Fairy’s words are absolutely correct!»
Jung-hyun’s attitude change was immediate.
Sang-jin, who was watching from the side, sighed in pity.
«Don’t think Big Mama sent this as a gesture of love.»
Ga-eul said to the escorts.
She had never met Big Mama in person.
She had only heard rumors about Big Mama through Japan, China, and the United States.
People said they didn’t know what Big Mama was thinking.
They said she was never a friendly person.
They said she was no different from a player who only sought to fulfill her own desires.
She wouldn’t have simply sent the GranTurismo as a sign of affection.
If she received it without reason, she might be asked to give something in return later.
Furthermore, even though it was sent as a sign of affection, it could be interpreted as Italy having the upper hand over Korea.
It seemed excessive to speculate, but when she thought of the Italian Ambassador Zenko Myron, she couldn’t completely dismiss that thought.
Italy looked down on Korea.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have come out like this.
«I don’t like it.»
She spoke out her thoughts that she didn’t like.
Once called the nation’s actress, the thought of someone existing above her head was extremely unpleasant.
Especially if the person was a woman.
«Why did Italy send someone like Zenko Myron?»
«…They must be looking down on us.»
She listened to the conversation between the guards and immersed herself in her thoughts.
Why did Big Mama send Zenko Myron?
There must be some hidden reason behind it.
She couldn’t grasp what it was.
«But still, it’s fortunate. Nothing unfortunate happened.»
«Something unfortunate did happen. He just didn’t cross the line.»
Then she found a clue that was not apparent in their words.
The ambassador had been disrespectful to the fairy.
If it were before the world ended, it would have been resolved through diplomatic pressure or a sincere apology from the opposing country.
But the world had already ended.
The world had become a place where people couldn’t complain even if the reason for someone’s death was «because the dead person was weak.»
If the ambassador had been disrespectful, and if it was also a highly offensive remark, it wouldn’t have been strange for him to die.
Even Italy wouldn’t have been able to strongly condemn it.
But still, Big Mama sent Zenko Myron, knowing who he was as a person.
As if she wished for Zenko Myron’s death.
«…Is something going on inside Italy?»
«What?»
«Nothing.»
For now, she couldn’t figure out the situation in Italy.
Her conclusions were speculative, not something she would divulge to her escorts.
She just didn’t like it.
If her guess was correct, Big Mama had brought Korea into her scheme.
In other words…
«…Did she dare to cross the line?»
Could there be such an intention hidden behind Big Mama’s gift?
The more she thought about it, the more disturbed she became.
And if Big Mama had indeed entrusted her with dirty work, it wouldn’t end here.
«Lee Jung-hyun, release someone trustworthy and have them keep an eye on the Italian ambassadors. Notify me immediately if any issues arise.»
«Yes, understood!»
Lee Jung-hyun didn’t harbor any objections. He responded firmly and left the office.
Now, only she and Sang-jin remained in the office.
«Still, it’s fortunate. The deal yielded better results than expected.»
He spoke in a softer voice than before.
Approaching her, he poured coffee into a cup.
As she sipped the aroma, she lifted her gaze.
«The success was thanks to Alice Pharmaceuticals’ potions.»
Alice Pharmaceuticals’ revolutionary new potions that sparked a revolution in the potion market last year.
If the new potions hadn’t been released, acquiring Italy’s mana alloy would have come at a considerable cost.
And Korea would have had to bow even more to Italy.
«It was fortunate that it was released at the right time. Thanks to that, not only were inferior potions produced by other pharmaceutical companies, but we also acquired the facilities for mass production in a short period.»
«Especially being able to prepare the top-grade potions by Engineer Jung Seok-hoon.»
«That’s right. We owe a debt to Engineer Jung Seok-hoon and the Alice Group. As soon as the trade with Italy is concluded, prepare to express our gratitude.»
«Yes, I will inform the Chief Secretary. Still, provoking the Italian ambassadors was risky.»
He scolded her.
She raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Then, with a smirk, she shifted her gaze to the documents.
«Anyway, with <Divine Spear> waiting in the next room, if there was any trouble, it would have been the ambassadors, not me.»
«…Really. You don’t seem to be tired at all.»
Sang-jin shook her head as if she couldn’t help it.
As she said, <Divine Spear>was waiting in the next room.
Namgung Seong-woon. The old man who was currently the strongest man in Korea would definitely be able to rescue her safely.
Still, it was clear that she had done something dangerous.
There were contingencies.
As an escort, you had to assume the worst.
He was going to tell her to be a good girl again.
She knew it as if she had expected it─.
«─As an actress, as a fairy, she must not be broken by anyone.»
Sigh, there’s nothing I can do.
Sang-jin kept his mouth shut.
Before becoming a fairy and even after becoming one.
She still had a heart as strong as steel.

«La~ lulu~ lu lulu~ lulu~»
Julietta hummed a tune.
As she walked down the street after leaving the hospital, she seemed happier than ever.
«…So this is what happiness feels like.»
She stopped in her tracks.
The sunlight was warm. The weather, entering early summer, was not as hot as she had expected.
Was the weather in Sicily like this too?
She recalled the days she had spent in Sicily.
It wasn’t just filled with bad memories.
If anything, there were more good memories.
That’s why she sometimes longed for her homeland.
Although she never told him.
«…I guess I can’t show it to you.»
She placed her hand on her belly.
Her belly hadn’t swollen yet.
But it felt as if the baby inside was moving.
‘Congratulations. You’re pregnant. You’re already entering the 6th week.’
Today, she received the news of her pregnancy.
It was the news she had been hoping for since leaving Italy and settling in Korea.
She couldn’t describe how lovely Eunae was.
How much she longed for a child every time she saw her.
A child with the person she loves.
Finally, it bore fruit.
«Ah!»
She stopped stroking her belly and pulled out her phone as she remembered something.
«I’ll have to let Bru know soon. …Ah, maybe it’s better to tell him in person?»
Then I’ll just give him a hint.
Julieta waited for the toot-toot signal.
Soon enough, Bruno picked up the phone.
«Bruno, it’s me!»
[Yeah. Lunch?]
«I’m on my way to eat. Have you eaten?»
[Me too. I’m on my way to eat. Did you go to the doctor? Are you feeling okay?]
A concerned voice on the other end of the phone.
The feeling of being the center of attention for a loved one is always indescribable.
I wanted to tell him right away.
But it wasn’t the right time to say it.
I wanted to tell him face to face, and see his face light up with joy.
«I’m feeling fine. Anything you want for dinner?»
[…Not really. Don’t cook. If you want something, I’ll make it].
«Bru. I know I can’t cook. Of course I was going to buy it.»
[…Oh, yeah].
«Bru.»
[Yeah, Julie].
«You need to come in early today.»
[…Okay.]
I hung up the phone.
I was happy.
She hadn’t been this happy since she’d left Italy.
She started walking. She stopped and put her hand on her stomach.
«May this happiness continue.»
May this happiness continue.
She basked in the bliss of early summer.
May the happiness continue.
May it continue.
«─Who is this, Julieta Valentine?»
May the happiness go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
«How have you been, you’ve gotten a lot prettier since I last saw you.»
«Ah…. Aaa-aah….»
«But what am I going to do about this?»
Zenko Myron frowned.
«It’s time for the bluebird to go back to his cage.»
Happiness, it goes on.
Only while you dream.
