Episode 131

Side Story 1. Summer Vacation (4)

‘Is the bed broken?’

I didn’t fully understand Clayton’s words until about three seconds later.

Clink.

When I fully understood the meaning, I heard the glass breaking.

“Wha, what?”

Cassius, whose face turned red, asked Clayton with a look as if he was talking about something crazy.

The glass he had just held in his hand fell to the floor and shattered.

“You don’t have to tell me, but I know everything!”

I shouted out loud when I saw Clayton pouring out his words.

“Clayton, wait, I think you’re misunderstanding something, but…….”

“How can I not know that when I heard such a loud thump in the Duke and His Majesty’s bedroom?”

Clayton talking with excitement without even listening to me, made me lose my mind.

‘We shouldn’t have played like that yesterday…….’

The source of the trouble was that I couldn’t control my excitement at the thought of making fun of Cassius.

It was a little noisy, but I only ran and rolled a few times on the bed, but I didn’t know I would get misunderstood.

‘No, I didn’t mean to, but I’m sure I played soundly than anyone else?’.’

I rolled my eyes slightly and gave Cassius a ridiculous look.

“Excuse me. I just told you the truth.”

“It only seems to me that you’re making excuses.”

He shook his head and gave strength to his voice as if he was frustrated.

“Who was the one who overworked my body last night in a very violent movement?”

With that word, Cassius’s pathetic face, which had been maintained through acting, collapsed in a heartbeat.

“Oh, wait, Yerine, that’s a little…….”

“To the extent of breaking the bed, to the point where the ceiling of the first floor feels like it’s going to break. Who did that?”

“Wait, don’t keep pushing me with the word ‘violent’! I feel like I’ve become a bad guy for no reason!”

Cassius stepped back with two hands and two feet, but it was not me to quit here.

I approached the man, who was slowly backing away and shouted in a confident voice.

“That’s weird, it was definitely Cassius who pushed me out of my mind last night.”

“Stop, please…….”

He looked at me with his eyes as if his soul were broken and begged me with his hands facing each other.

Only then did I step back and smile satisfactorily.

“What can we do? Now everyone thinks Cassius really did something wrong to me.”

“Yes, it is.”

“So shouldn’t you pretend to be carrying me around in front of others at least?”

“Okay, you’re asking me to carry you on my back in exchange for making you overwork last night?”

“Yes, if it’s the king of the country then it would be the best ride ever.”

“Okay, I can carry you on my back.”

“No, don’t carry me on your back but hold me up instead. I can’t see the flowers well if you carry me on your back.”

Cassius looked slightly surprised when I said so.

“You didn’t say that kind of embarrassing thing back in the day. You’ve changed, Yerine.”

“Who made me change?”

“Are you saying it’s because of me again?”

Cassius said, drooping his eyebrows as if it was unfair.

“No, so who else do I learn that from beside Cassius? There’s no one who says that to me other than Cassius.”

“I’m fine today. I’m not ashamed at all.”

“Really?”

Cassius held his face close and asked persistently.

“I’m really going to stay like this until the afternoon.”

“Sure….”

“Even if you ask me to drop you off, I will never drop you off, and I will walk to the hallway where all the users are gathered.”

“Wait, that’s a bit…….”

I tried to break away from Cassius’ grip, but it didn’t work.

It was difficult to remove that stone-like arm without magic.

“Why? You said it’s okay today, Yerine.”

When I saw his face, I thought I had lost.

“If you don’t like it, I can’t help it. I have to use another method.”

Looking down at me, who was shy away from talking, Cassius opened his mouth.

“No, I don’t want to hear that.”

“Really? Then I should speak louder.”

Cassius, who lightly retorted my words, said with his playful gold eyes.

“If you don’t want to walk around in front of others like that, it’s hard to walk in the garden, isn’t it?”

“What the hell do you want to talk about?”

Cassius grinned at my question.

“It’s impossible to go out because Clayton said both the Duke’s legs shouldn’t touch the ground all day.”

“Then should I stay indoors all the time?”

Cassius nodded with a big smile as if he had the right answer.

“Yes, so let’s stay in bed all day.”

“Hey, that would be so boring, how can I do that?”

I could hear Cassius laughing above my head.

When I looked up at Cassius, he whispered in my ear, bending his golden eyes softly like a crescent moon.

“You don’t remember last night, do you?”

The moment I heard it, my body froze.

“I can make you feel intense all day long without being bored.”

Immediately, the whole face was engulfed in the hot heat, and I screamed, hitting Cassius’s chest with all my strength.

“Argh! Are you crazy, really?”

Cassius, however, remained undaunted and steadfast.

Rather, he smiled so relaxedly that I was even angrier.

“You’re into playing around, aren’t you? Crazy, seriously!”

“Well, if you don’t like it, I can’t help it. As Clayton said, I’ll walk around the villa like this all day.”

“Let go of me! Oh……really!”

After that, Cassius didn’t really let me go for about an hour.

Until I used water magic and splashed it on him.

“Thank you for coming. I’ll show you the way.”

A woman dressed in a neat green dress stood at the front door of the villa, which was secretly hidden in the forest.

“Thank you.”

The woman’s voice toward Chester was as warm as the sun.

Like the climate in the south.

“No, this is nothing.”

Chester replied, glancing at the red hair waving in the wind.

Then he opened the door and took the noblewoman into the villa, and once again bowed his head at her.

“Welcome, Duke Jacqueline.”

The sky blue eyes of the woman who stepped into the villa looking for her friend in the voice sparkled like a star.
