I was completely bewildered by his subtle touch that seemed to demand for something.
“What’s wrong with doing whatever you want? What kind of desires do you have?”
Basically, Harry was self-indulgent.
I have to say everything I wanted to say and do everything I wanted to do to get rid of his duty.
Is this how all demons are?
If I didn’t say ‘I wish,’ he would be out of control.
‘It’s like watching a dog that doesn’t listen’
There was a reason why Harry’s soul number were private.
It was comforting that I had a leash to control him at the last moment.
“You don’t know what to ask? I want to see blood! The desire to kill is the basic desire of the demon. It’s like a human appetite. “
“It’s like an appetite? So, you’ll die if you hold on for a long time?”
I asked back in surprise.
Anyway, he’s been called here because of me, and if he dies because he can’t satisfy his basic needs, I’ll be guilty.
I was surprised, but Harry shook his head with a hint of calmness.
“I’m not going to die, but it’s very painful. I’m under a lot of stress.”
“Come on, I’m saying it again. If you don’t die, it’s fine.”
“If I don’t die, that’s it? I thought this was what you felt when you are eating a bad food. Me, too. If I don’t see blood, it’s like this. “3
“Mmm.”
By such comparison, Harry felt harmonious at once.
‘When I was living with bad food, yes, life was so boring and everything was annoying. That’s right.’
“But you can’t kill people. That’s a crime.”
“Since you say so, I’m trying to satisfy my needs in a different way. Im sick of being unable to kill people, but what can you say about eating?”
“Is there any other way besides eating? You’ve become a monstrous glutton who emptied your food of 5 people worth of food in the kitchen.”2
“It’s a pleasure in some way, I don’t think it’s completely out of the question, but…”
Harry folded his arms and looked at me up and down.
He looked at me for a long time.
“It’s a little hard with crumbs like you.”
“Why is it so hard? I can do anything. Even if it’s a little hard, it’s probably better than being misunderstood as a big eater for five servings .”
I was so embarrassed to see the faces of the maids who were surprised when they cleaned the table.
“So tell me, in what way can I fill Harry’s pleasure and desire?”18
If there was any other way I’m willing to do something else, I looked up at Harry and somehow his face was flushed.
“Oh, that’s enough. You can’t either. Well, I’ll just have a roast turkey.”
“Why? What’s the other way? Let’s just take it.”1
When I pulled Harry’s clothes, he shook my hands off like he was burned by a fire.
“Well, do you know what that is? I can’t do it with you. I won’t.”17
“What the hell is that?”
“You don’t need to know if you’re still a piece of crumbs that’s not an adult yet!”
“You must be glad because you are a grandpa that was over 2,000 years old. You can make excuses with your age.”
“I’m not a grandpa!”
At the same time as Harry shouted, Emma’s voice calling me from outside was heard.
“Miss, this is Emma.”
“Emma?”
It was up to the children who were lower than Emma to clear the table.
‘So she’s not here to clear the table.’
I took her in with a questioning heart while soothing Harry, who was still stamping his feet.
Harry had already turned into a dog when he felt Emma’s presence.
“Come in. What’s going on?”
Emma, who entered with a deep bow, looked a little troubled.
“There’s a guest looking for you.”
A guest.
Yvesria was also the daughter of the Duke, so she has a wide network of connections. There were many followers.
‘But……….’
“I don’t have any guests here looking for me. I didn’t know anything about it.”
“Yes. He said he came in secret because it would be difficult to be known to the public.”
“Secret? Who’s here?”
“That’s… Your Royal Highness, the Prince.”
What do you mean,
He was a real surprise.
‘Has there ever been a case of the prince visiting Yvesria, who had left for Erell?’
There was no need to trace back the faint memories.
Since all the original narratives had gone to the center of Catherine, Yvesria appeared only as an obstacle to her.
Of course, the story of a villain who played her part as a villain and was driven out of the country in Erell, was never described.
‘I hope it’s not a trifle.’
To avoid the bother of the trouble, I declared my resignation on purposefully.
What else does he want after breaking up the engagement as he wanted to, to even come here in Erell?
“Where is he?”
“First of all, we’ve taken him to the drawing room. He emphasized it was a secret, so he made the people leave around him.”
How great the words you’re trying to tell me that you emphasize it was a secret?
I sighed and got up.
“All right. Let’s go there.”
When I met Prince Cassian in the drawing room who came here in secret, he was quite splendid.
Bright blond hair and clear features.
It was a prince’s formal appearance.
Even though his clothes are a white uniform, his appearance was still eye catching.
It was like advertising himself as someone high-profile.
‘You don’t have to come in secret.’
I’m sure there’s a lot of people that was talking about his identity on his way here.
The prince’s appearance is famous for the people of the kingdom, and maybe someone has already noticed his way to Erell.
“You’ve come a long way. What brings you here?”
“Obviously, Erell is far away. I’ve never been so far from the capital.”
Cassian looked around in wonder.
The reception room of Erell’s mansion was well-equipped place to greet guests, but it was simple compared to the royal castle and the Oberon.
“It must be pretty painful to be in this country. ‘You’re’ Yvesria Oberon.”
Originally, it would have been if it were Yvesria. She was the essence of aristocratic culture.
Anyone would have said so, looking at what Yvesria is now, but at least it wasn’t something Cassian would say.
If he is a human being with a conscience.
‘The reason Yvesria came to Erell is because of the Crown Prince, right?’
I don’t mean to justify Yvesria’s misdeeds, but it was, of course, the crown prince, who was the worst son of a bitch.10
Had he been faithful to his fiancee, wouldn’t Yvesria have any reason to be blinded by jealousy and made a plot?
“It’s a better place than I thought. The people here are all kind.”
“Northern people are kind? Ah, the roots of Oberon are in the north, so the people here can be kind.”
“Then what does the prince wanted, whose roots are in the South, to this faraway place?”
“It’s obvious. I came to see you.”
Cassian smiled at me.
Whether it was the male protagonist’s effect, he was quite good at smiling with his eyes bent.
‘It was because of this beautiful smile that Yvesria fell in love with Cassian.’
Yvesria was weak on the smile of Cassian’s face. Whenever he smiled and coaxed her, she was easily taken in.
‘A villain who falls into a man and was swayed around.’
It was a typical setting.
But I was not impressed by Cassian’s smile.5
‘I am Yvesria in the shell, but the core is a completely different person.’
I turned my head to the dog and watched Harry who was observing him.
‘If it was face, our Harry was better-looking.’11
My dog is handsome, but I don’t know why my shoulders are stiff.
I stretched my shoulders more confidently and asked Cassian.
“You came to see me? Why?”
The smile in Cassian’s mouth, was subtly stiff at my unimpressed question.1
But it’s only for a moment and he soon regained his bright smile as the main character.
“I’m afraid you’re upset about the break up. I just wanted to comfort you.”25
Is that what made this prosperous division created?
It was getting more and more ridiculous.
“I don’t need your comfort. I’m not so upset. What’s wrong with the breakup? That could happen in life.”9
In this conservative world, the breakup of women was a big blow.
But that’s just a story when you’re a daughter of a middle-class family.
Yvesria had a huge family called Oberon on her back.
For a woman of this background, the degree of her broken engagement history was a very minor issue,
“You don’t have to pretend to be okay, Eve.”5
Cassian rose from his seat, affectionately calling my name.4
With an unprovoked sweet voice, I almost dropped the cup of the tea due to goosebumps but I managed to put up with it.
‘What’s with the nickname?’
I was bewildered and looked at Cassian.
His smile grew stronger as if he interpreted the way I looked at him.1
“I didn’t know I’d fall in love with anyone, Eve. So I thought it didn’t matter who I married. That’s why I was engaged to you.”
“Oh, yes, you did.”
“But Catherine showed up, and I couldn’t even think about marrying anyone other than her.”
I had only one thought in hearing that.
So what am I supposed to do?
“Why are you talking about it in front of me……? Should I congratulate you on finding your true love?”
When I asked with a grin, it seemed as if Cassian had waited for the words.
“Yes, Yvesria. I want you to congratulate me. The future of me and Catherine.”
“..what?”
What the hell is this nonsense?’
“You’re willing to bless me. Right?”15
‘Is this baseless confidence was a privilege given to the main character?’
I looked at Cassian and he slowly came up to me
I stood still, wondering how much more crazy words this man had to say.
But instead of talking, he reached out his hand and stroked my cheek.6
“Your father has withdrawn his mining support. Because of that, I’m in a tight spot. I’ve been… It’s been really hard lately, Eve.”16
His eyes narrowed.
‘Now I get it. That’s why he came all the way here.’1
In the northeastern part of the kingdom, there was an undeveloped masonry mine.
It is expected that there will be a huge reserves, but no one has touched them due to the high cost and technology required for development.
If successful, it will be okay, but if it fails, it will only waste investment and time.
It was hard for anyone to get into this dangerous gamble.
However, the crown prince’s fanction said they would develop the area.
It must have been a calculation that he would successfully develop the orestone mine and gain a clear advantage in the competition with the first prince.
The largest sponsors of the project was the Oberon family.
“Of course he did. My father said we were going to support the mining business because he thought I was going to be a part of the royal family. Now that our engagement is broken, he don’t have to spend any money.”
Moreover, it was not a pleasantly agreed-upon breakup. After the breakup, the Oberon family’s pride was seriously hurt so the withdrawal of business support was natural.
“If we succeed in business, we can make several times more profit. It’s not a waste of money.”
“But I’m not sure of success. And why don’t you talk about this with my father? He’s the one who makes the decision anyway.”
“I’ve already done it. But he didn’t listen. I think you can convince him.”
“Me?”
“He cares about his daughter, don’t he? That’s why he hid you here to avoid the rumours of the social circles. “
‘The Duke of Oberon cares about his daughter?’
Considering the face of the Duke who ordered me to go to Erell, it was not a very credible story.
‘I think he has a heavy, hard face until the end.’
No, it wasn’t really important either.
‘If the Duke really loves his daughter, let’s say he will listen to Yvesria.”
Why do I have to feed the fish that have left for another woman’s fishing grounds?
This is not even my fish.14
“Why should I do such a thing, Your Highness?”
“Because, you love me very much.”31
The hand touching my cheek came down to my neck. My body shrunk at the touch that grazed a sensitive place.
Cassian grinned, he leaned down and set on my eye level.
I was a little surprised at Cassian’s face that was shining with his clear features.
“If you help me, I can do this much for you.”
Cassian’s face grew closer and closer.
“The Queen may be difficult, but I can keep it close to you and give you what you want.”
Looking at the slowly approaching Cassian, my head moved quickly.
‘In the end, this is what you mean, right?’
I don’t intend to marry you. But the power of the Oberon family is necessary. So I can give you physical affection if you want.
But I’m sure you won’t able to refuse. Because you like me.
‘ Wow, really, what is this?’
He comes out confidently because he knows Yvesria likes him so much that she’s jealous and even attempted to kill Catherine.
‘Totally rubbish.’
You’re the Crown Prince of the country?
Why on earth did Yvesria like this guy?8
Come to think of it, Cassian Zerette was portrayed as a man who could do anything for the throne in the original.
A considerable ambitious negotiator.
‘But you didn’t do well at this kind of dirty deal!’
I was so dumbfounded that I tried to push Cassian’s face away, but Harry was faster than me.5
[You son of a bitch! What are you doing to my contractor?]4
“Ugh!”
Cassian was tossed down in the floor with a suppressed scream.
[Hey, Contractor! What if I do it? This son of a bitch is talking nonsense!]4
Cassian was completely shocked because of the sudden impact and was unable to judge properly the situation.
It was his fault that he couldn’t grasp the situation.
But there was only one possible scenario.
[Harry did it?]
[Yes! I did it! Oh, really! I was so angry that I didn’t even know my magic activated!]2
Cassian, who alternately looked between me and the floor while he was grasping the situation, also came to his senses1
“Now…… did you just throw me on the floor? Me?”
