‘Throughout life, never imagined, I had the chance to see a shirt torturing….’
I looked at Therze with a blank expression on my face, then quickly composed my expression and lowered my head.
“Nice to meet you. Therze-nim. My name is Ria Delice. It is an honor to meet you.”
Then, the gaze that was staring at Dillian turned to me.
Red eyes that looked just like Dillian looked me up and down. It was full of displeasure.
“You’re engaged, right?”
“Yes, we are.”
When Dillian answered while holding my hand, Therze’s eyes sunken even more.
‘Huh, I can’t accept someone like you as my granddaughter-in-law!’ with eyes that seemed to say so.
Pardon, I don’t want to be grandpa’s granddaughter-in-law either though? This is definitely just a contract relationship.
Words I couldn’t bear to say ran inside my mouth.
“Tsk.”
His tongue kicking was also full of power.
The pressure on my shoulders was enormous. Even I, who had gone through all the antenatal care in Wilhelm, was to the point of shuddering.
“This grandpa is dying and your nose can’t even be seen, then you bring a woman? Also you got engaged as you please?”
At the powerful scolding noise, my shoulder pressed down even more.
“If you were engaged, you should have told this grandpa first. You brat!”
“Now, I told you.”
At that blunt answer, Therze grabbed the back of his neck, Ugh! and made a sound.
“You, you darn brat!”
“Seeing you screaming, you seem fine.”
In fact, Dillian was unconcerned, but I was in a rush to keep reading the atmosphere.
‘Yeah, how angry you must be.’
It is not enough that he alone decided on the important matter like an engagement, and the opposite party is a commoner with unknown roots.
On top that, Therze Sinaize is a true noble. He would have never even imagined that he would have a commoner granddaughter-in-law.
‘But I can’t even tell him that this is a fake engagement.’
If I said it, it seemed like he was going to get hurt twice, no, ten times.
I rolled my eyes at Therze and Dillian’s sparkly confrontation.
‘Doesn’t grandfather say you were dying? You seem healthier than me though…?’
He straight up said that he was dying with his own mouths. Too straight up.
It was a force that was enough to immediately jump into the war and cut off some general’s head.
As people got tired of the fight that was like a Möbius strip*, where Therze was angry and Dillian only exacerbated his anger.
*Möbius strip is a symbol of a distorted reality in which it is difficult to tell who is the perpetrator and who is the victim from outside.
“Father, calm down. Your blood pressure will rise again. Please stop scratching your inside.”
A middle-aged gentleman appeared out of nowhere and intervened between the two of them to mediate the fight.
As she narrowed her eyes to the strangely familiar face, Sera, who suddenly pulled herself back again, whispered.
“That is Marquis Trisio.”
Trisio? Harris’s father? So, Dillian’s uncle?
Asked with my eyes, Sera nodded her head.
“So the marquis was also here.”
“Long time no see. Your Grace.”
“The Marquis couldn’t have come alone, they must have all gathered.”
“Yes, all of the vassals have arrived, except for Count Blent.”
Anyway, it seems that Lexter didn’t come.
“Everyone must have been excited to gnaw on me.”
As I rolled my eyes next to Dillian, who was dripping in ridicule, my eyes met Therze’s.
Therze, who came to his senses late, coughed in vain and managed his expression.
“… Take a rest.”
As if you had already said everything you wanted to say, just now you say take a rest? Still, with those disgruntled eyes?
I don’t know about the rules of how a noble speaks.
Answered with a soft smile, I hid my trembling heart.
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
“Hm, ahem.”
Therze clearing his throat, wondering was he concerned about my gentle reaction.
“Then I will see you at dinner.”
Marquis Trisio, who bowed his head at me, supported Therze and fled.
With a smile on my lips as if a convulsion was about to occur, I barely lowered the corners of my lips. Then I rubbed the corners of my throbbing lips.
“Such a mess for a greeting.”
I didn’t do anything and I’m already tired.
“I didn’t know my grandfather would come out so strong, but it’s my fault.”
“It’s okay.”
It’s because I’m a little tired, but I didn’t feel bad or upset because of Therze.
‘Is it so obvious?’
I was surprised at how quiet I was.
And when I was in a situation where I was comforting Dillian, I thought I would burst out laughing.
***
My bedroom was next to Dillian.
I don’t know if it was to consider the prospective couple or if it was Dillian’s will, but it was fortunate for me.
Breathing a sigh of relief, as I took off my coat, a large hand grabbed my hand.
“If you are anxious, should we use the same room?”
When he came unexpectedly, Dillian whispered to me.
“It seems that the intentions are impure.”
“Am I?”
Pretending to be innocent, his blinking eyes were annoying.
I just got hit by you yesterday, how can you pretend to be innocent?
I lowered my voice as I looked at the wide open bedroom door.
“Just hold my hand and go to sleep. You know that is the most unreliable thing to say, right?”
I know what you’re going to do. As I was very wary, Dillian shrugged his shoulders.
“I never said just to hold my hand and go to sleep though.”
“….”
“So it’s an unreliable remark. I plan to do everything though.”
“Are you serious?”
“My liking for miss Ria grew bigger as time went by, so it’s not enough just to hold hands now.”
His hand, which covered the back of my hand, climbed up slowly.
‘Is this man crazy? What are you going to do in this broad daylight?’
Dillian hugged my waist and pressed his lips to my ear.
“Stay like this for a while. There are many eyes who see us.”
The hand that was pushing Dillian’s chest stopped.
“… Are we being watched?”
“Suspicious whether our engagement is real.”
“Did they notice that it was fake?”
“It’s a habitual suspicion. It’s impossible for people to assume that I would have been engaged to someone with a sincere heart.”
I rolled my eyes with my chin resting on Dillian’s shoulder.
Out of the wide open bedroom door, a servant met my eyes. Then he bowed his head in surprise.
‘Is it really?’
No wonder, I feel that the atmosphere and gaze were very different from when I was in the capital’s mansion, were they monitoring us?
I buried my face in Dillian’s shoulder and whispered to him to hide my wrinkled eyes.
“What if we get caught?”
“It’s a breakup then.”
“Really?”
If we break up, I have nothing to regret, right?
Was that feeling too revealing? Suddenly, Dillian bit the nape of my neck.
“Ugh! What, what did you do!”
Dillian raised his head as I slapped him on the shoulder in surprise. His crooked lips showed his mood.
“You seem to like it so much, but the problem is it’s not that simple.”
“Well, if it becomes a problem, how much does it cost?”
“You will be imprisoned in a dungeon for deceiving an elder from the venerable Sinaize.”
“… We are?”
“Miss Ria alone.”
What the hell. I pretended to hug Dillian and pinched his side.
“Why, I’m alone…!”
You said that we will be together for the rest of our lives. Of course we should go to jail together!
“I am a duke.”
“Dirty society statuses, dirty society classes!”
“So, let’s do our best not to get caught.”
Dillian, who was smiling as he looked at my wrinkled face from grinding teeth, kissed my cheek.
“Then see you in the evening.”
A look of joy flashed on his face, which was slowly moving away.
“Miss, I will be out too. Call me if you need.”
At the strange atmosphere, Sera blushed and ran away.
“I didn’t expect to suffer like this….”
When I was muttering while covering the nape that was bitten and the cheek that was touched by Dillian lips, a shout flew in like a thunderbolt.
“Ria. Be honest. Something happened to you guys, right!”
“What, what! There was none!”
“Look at your state now. There was nothing, huh?”
Nathan’s eyes narrowed and he looked around me. If he saw even a small gap, he had the momentum to attack immediately.
I quickly put my hand down and pretended not to know.
“Ahem, but Nathan, you haven’t been noisy today?”
As I tried to change the direction of the conversation, Nathan, who raised his eyebrows, nodded.
“As soon as he saw your face, that old gentleman named Therze was spitting fire.
“It is.”
Nathan snorted in excitement.
“He should be grateful that you met Dillian and that wasn’t enough with just bowing down.”
“From his point of view, he won’t like it because I’m not a noble’s daughter-in-law.”
“But! How many times have you saved Dillian!”
Nathan, who was running around the bed in anger, immediately patted my shoulder with his wings.
“Ria, there has always been parental opposition in all romances. Here is the opposite of his grandfather, but the situation is similar.”
“It is.”
“Ria! Hardship needs to be overcomed. And you win it!”
Nathan, a romance novelist who was buried in the current situation, raised his wings toward the ceiling.
“Let’s defeat his grandfather and win the love, Dillian!”
“Is his grandfather a villain? Defeat him?”
“That’s what it means, to win his heart!”
“Wasn’t you saying that you don’t like Dillian?”
“That or this is different. Don’t worry. You just have to follow my advice.”
I nodded as I watched Nathan devise an unknown plan.
Yes, the genre is rofan*, there is also the In-law world, and so on.
*Romantic fantasy
And according to the rules of rofan, I will capture Therze.
So I started to nurture vain dreams.
Don’t even know how many obstacles are waiting.
‘Throughout life, never imagined, I had the chance to see a shirt torturing….’
I looked at Therze with a blank expression on my face, then quickly composed my expression and lowered my head.
“Nice to meet you. Therze-nim. My name is Ria Delice. It is an honor to meet you.”
