chapter 129
129 – Tina (1)
“… ….”
After Raviel died, Tina would sometimes sit on the balcony and stare blankly at the clouds flowing in the wind or the stars hanging in the night sky.
It wasn’t because I believed in the fairy tales that Raviel had become a star in the night sky or that he had gone to heaven.
The sky was just out of reach because there was no trace of Raviel.
Even though it was only a short time, Raviel followed Tina around as her maid all day long, so her mansion was soon filled with memories of her.
Now that she has managed to control her emotions, when she walks around her mansion where memories of her together with her are lurking, she can see her hallucinations and hear her hallucinations. Her sky is the only thing that calms Tina’s mind. It was something that could be done.
“I feel like Tina has matured these days.”
Charlotte’s words as she looked at Tina, who was sitting on the railing and staring at her.
“Even when Anastasia touches me, I don’t even show any displeasure anymore. “Look at that.”
Anastasia was seen tiptoeing along on her heels in the direction Charlotte’s finger pointed.
Tina’s hearing perked up as if she had missed even the slightest sound, but she was still looking at the sky as if she didn’t really care.
Wow.
And Anastasia approached her and hugged her from behind.
Anastasia was well aware of the sorrow of losing her family, so she was acting to comfort Tina in her own way. In the past, Tina would have shaken off her arms even after knowing that, but she just sat quietly in Anastasia’s arms. .
“Is that so?”
Adele, who was sitting across from Charlotte and having a brief tea time, nodded her head in agreement with her words.
Is that all?
Tina felt like she had grown not only mentally but also physically.
Tina’s height seems to have grown slightly.
Her childlike face also seems to have a feminine vibe.
I should say that she feels like she is going through her second growth period at a multiplied speed.
“But even if Tina is depressed because she lost her mother, why is it that she and Adele are also in a bad mood?”
These were Sylvia’s words.
Although she had not been invited, she came naturally and took a seat. She looked at Adele with worried eyes, her cheeks sagging.
“… ….”
Adele didn’t say anything.
No, she couldn’t really hear Sylvia properly because she couldn’t concentrate on the conversation.
Charlotte, who realized that his silence was not intentional, answered Sylvia’s question instead.
“It’s because you haven’t been able to sleep lately.”
“I guess it’s that kind of insomnia. “If that’s the case, I can help you.”
Charlotte shook her head, snatching Sylvia’s hand out of the air as she naturally tried to engage in skinship in the name of her treatment.
“It’s okay because it’s not because I can’t sleep because I have insomnia.”
“…… ?”
Sylvia tilted her head at Charlotte’s meaningful words.
She pondered for a moment the meaning of what she had said, then realized that it meant that her sleep had diminished as she was busy making love on her bed, and she said, ‘Ah,’ and she sighed. I spat it out.
“Isn’t that the problem in itself? “Getting proper sleep is good for your health.”
“What the saint said is right. So, I tried to get him to sleep even when it was my turn, but that blue-haired woman… ….”
The blue-haired woman that Charlotte called out with her sigh was clearly referring to her Lucy.
Sylvia replaced her blue-haired woman with her Lucy, and then she heard Charlotte’s story.
To summarize what she said, it was that Adele ended up like this because the two Lucy did not hesitate and did it.
“I tried to get along well and split the number of times, but the woman, perhaps out of shame or filled with s*xual desire in her head, ended up filling up the number of times she did, and I ended up getting into trouble.”
“… ….”
Silvia, who was listening to her story with her chin resting on one hand, quietly remembered Lucy’s face.
Unlike her clean and pure face, was it actually that way?
It felt like the discrepancy between her behavior and appearance was causing confusion in Sylvia’s perception of Lucy.
No, looking back, it wasn’t just about Lucy.
Charlotte was the same as Lucy.
Because she acts like Adele, there have been many days when I see her face, but the aura she shows now is different from the aura Charlotte showed up until then.
If the Charlotte in Sylvia’s perception was a silent and loyal maid, should we say that the Charlotte in front of her was chatty, similar to other women of her age?
Her loyalty to Adele doesn’t seem to have changed, but she feels a little more docile.
‘Is this all Adele’s influence?’
Change in a positive direction.
What that means is that even though Adele has multiple women, he still treats her well.
He knew she would do that, but it was a new feeling to see with her own eyes that her insight was not wrong.
“I think I can help you with your current situation.”
Sylvia put down her teacup that she was holding to her lips and focused Charlotte’s attention on her.
“With the power I have, I could solve Adele’s lack of sleep.”
She whispered, penetrating into the crevices of Charlotte’s heart that she was worried about Adele’s health and at the same time regretted the situation she had to give in to.
“You will be able to prevent yourself from falling out of bed exhausted.”
“Really?”
Charlotte took the bait that Sylvia had laid out.
But if you pull the line too hastily, you will miss the fish you caught.
This was a golden opportunity that somehow came to her, but she couldn’t miss it out of impatience, so she continued her words as calmly as possible.
“If I were there, Charlotte wouldn’t be so considerate because of Lucy. “There will be no conflict between wives that will arise as a result.”
Silvia subtly revealed her dark side, as if she was walking a tightrope at her precarious border.
“Oh, by the way, I am a saint who must maintain chastity, so she will not waste time at night like Lucy.”
“… ….”
Her Charlotte finally realized Sylvia’s intentions and stared at her intently.
She looked as if she was caught up in all sorts of conflicts in her head, but she soon seemed to have decided which side her opinion was leaning towards, and held out her hand.
“I hope Lucy follows her example.”
Sylvia took Charlotte’s hand in hers, and gave her a brief handshake.
Sylvia could perceive a certain determination in Charlotte’s countenance as she shook her hand, before revealing her joy at the arrival of her success at the end of her continued courtship. She couldn’t help but let out a small sigh of relief.
“And I hope you stop bringing women around now.”
It was a narrow miss.
If Charlotte, whom she met today, had not had such concerns, she could have been in a situation where she was coldly rejected by Charlotte, who had vowed to strike down all women who approached her.
As if to show her usefulness, Sylvia placed her hand on the back of Adele’s hand where she was placing her soul, and at the same time she imbued her with her divine power.
It was a tiring task that required her to use up her stamina.
If Alessia had seen it, she would have said, ‘Do not use the saint’s stamina on such things…’ ….’ I would have scolded him.
Like a daughter-in-law who cares about her mother-in-law, she didn’t care about such things and quickly relieved the fatigue from his body…….
* * *
Adele, who had laid down on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
“… ….”
She tried to sleep, but she couldn’t close her eyes as if she had consumed a lot of caffeine.
My body was full of vitality without any fatigue, and strangely enough, my s*xual desire did not decrease.
“She had heard from Charlotte that the saint had touched my body, but she had not heard that the effect would be of this magnitude. “She’s a bit troubled if she doesn’t need sleep.”
Adele got up from the bed, covered Charlotte, who was sleeping soundly next to her, with a blanket, and then left the room.
She was about to head to her kitchen, thinking that she might feel better if she drank some warm milk.
The moment I go down the stairs, passing through a quiet hallway without a single noise, holding a small candle.
Reddish candle light seeping through a crack in the tightly closed door just downstairs.
If it had been one of the many rooms in the mansion, I would have passed by without paying any attention, but the location of that room was right below Adele’s room.
So, this is the room where Tina is staying.
“Are you still not sleeping until this hour?”
Adele, worried that she was unable to sleep due to her sadness over losing Raviel, quietly walked towards Tina’s room.
Swoosh, swoosh.
Because I was wearing slippers, I could only hear the sound of my footsteps hitting the soft mat on the floor, but the sound of my footsteps was not loud.
When Adele reached Tina’s room after unintentionally killing In-cheok.
Swoosh, swoosh… ….
A sound coming from beyond the closed door.
It was similar to the sound that Adele’s slippers made when they swept the mat.
The identity of the unknown sound was recognized when Adele pulled the door handle and opened the door slightly.
“…… Huh… ….”
On the bed.
Tina curled up with her body wrapped in a blanket.
Every time she made a sound she had never heard before, she saw the blanket move up and down, so she felt like it was a situation she needed to get out of.
Just like that, Adele was about to close the slightly opened door and leave as if nothing had happened.
Kkii Iik…… !
A door that makes a loud noise as if to announce the presence of someone.
“…… !”
Tina is startled by the sound and gets out of bed, covering herself with a blanket.
And then her eyes met Adele’s, who was visible through the gap in the door that was not yet completely closed, and her body froze.
“Do…… Yeon…… ?”
Tina’s face blushed with embarrassment for showing herself comforting herself.
