I Became the Fiancé of a Crazy Heroine

Sion felt a strange sense of difference and moved on.

Normally, he would have passed it off as something that happens occasionally and not thought much of it.

But this time, he couldn’t help but smile, and glance at Hanette.

‘It must be inevitable to develop feelings. We’re right next to each other, and we work together a lot.’

Sion looked around after setting up the fallen chair.

Hanette was still glaring at him with the box in her arms.

Sion couldn’t help but laugh at how absurd she was.

“What are you doing?”

“You might take it while opening the box.”

“I won’t take it, so come over here.”

“How can I trust you? Step back.”

“… Ah!. Do as you wish.”

Sion sat down in front of the table and raised his head.

Hanette carefully began to tear the packaging while keeping an eye on Sion.

“Don’t expect too much. It may not be what my sister likes.”

“You won’t give something obvious as a gift.”

“My sister’s personality is so picky that I can’t give her anything obvious.”

“Do you know what I hate?”

“My sister just seem to hate the world in general.”

“Haha! You’re talking weird.”

Hanette laughed out loud, but there was no smile on her lips.

Perhaps Sion’s words could be right.

As a noblewoman, she enjoyed many things in life, but she was never satisfied with it.

What could be bothering her so much?

‘Am I excited to open it before even seeing it?’

Hanette mulled over Sion’s words as he looked down at the box.

It was so small that it barely fit in her hand.

A sweet yet deep scent emanated from the box.

Could it be that he bought something useless, like cosmetics or jewelry?

‘..I don’t like those kinds of things.’

Hannet opens the box with a slightly disappointed expression.

Something glittering begins to show through the silk that was stacked neatly.

Although the little expectation that remained seemed to be broken, at the same time, questions were bound to arise.

“What is this?”

“It’s a relic.”

“A relic? Something sold by the Divine Church?”

“Yes. If you have it, it’s said to ward off misfortune and bring good luck.”

Sion recites the words he heard from the priest.

Although it was only a bit, he called it a relic, because it had the power of the holy.

Of course, it did not show any remarkable effect, but quite a few people were buying relics.

Since superstitions about relics had already spread widely, no one dared to doubt them.

“Are you out of your mind? Why did you buy something like this?”

“There wasn’t anything else to buy.”

“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have bought it. You fell for their trap. This kind of thing can’t ward off misfortune.”

Hannet sighs as she looks into the box.

A necklace adorned with gold was placed inside.

Although there was a faint magical power flowing from the necklace, she instinctively realized it was meaningless.

“Do you have that much money? Why would you buy something like this…”

“I know. Having this doesn’t necessarily make you happy. It’s probably just a scam to make money.”

“You still bought it knowing that? What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s a way to express my feelings. Even if I buy an expensive necklace or ring, will my feelings be conveyed?”

“….?”

Hanette looks at Sion in surprise. She couldn’t say anything back to that.

Sion continues speaking, conscious of that gaze.

“Whether we marry or not, I hope my sister lives happily. The first meeting wasn’t that great, but the ending should be good, right?”

“Why are you saying that? Are you crazy?”

Hanette couldn’t hide her confusion and was overcome with fear.

If it were the usual Sion, he would have definitely sneered or dragged on in his words.

But suddenly, he gave a serious look, making Hanette feel scared for no reason.

“It’s for the sake of my sister. Did you say I’m crazy? It’s a little disappointing.”

“Just do what you always do. Brag about your money or say it’s not worth it for me…”

“I’m not trying to brag. It’s not that much of a waste either. Can’t I give such a gift to my fiancée?”

“You know there’s chance might break up the engagement and yet you say such a thing??”

“I’ll think about it when it happens. I don’t want to worry about something that hasn’t even happened yet.”

Sion replied casually and got up from his seat.

Hanette unknowingly took a step back and swallowed her dry saliva.

Her judgment seemed to have been clouded by the unexpected situation.

“What else are you going to say?”

“I just told you to know. Do you understand now?”

“What’s the point? Wake up. Do you think your feelings will be felt because you said that?”

“If you don’t feel it, there’s nothing I can do. my sister didn’t know even though I made an effort.”

“Are you blaming me now?”

“If I explain, you won’t understand. So, it’s my sister’s fault.”

“You’re twisting words weirdly!”

“What’s weird about it?”

“That…”

Hanette stuttered and eventually shut her mouth.

Honestly, she understood Sion’s words.

I just didn’t want to be persuaded by a typical excuse that didn’t seem convincing..

“It doesn’t matter how you give the gift. I showed my sincerity, so that’s enough.”

“Isn’t that too irresponsible? What if I take advantage of it and sell it?”

“It’s an unavoidable. Now it’s my sister’s possession, what can I do?”

“You’re really weird. You know that?”

“The weird one is my sister. How could you even think about selling It?”

“I just made an assumption, okay?”

“Couldn’t you wear it around your neck?”

“How could I even wear something like this?”

“Then why don’t you just use it as decoration in the room?”

Sion looked at Hanette and then quickly left the room.

Hanette tried to say something, but couldn’t open her mouth.

‘Well, I’ve done my share, but there’s nothing to lose.’

Sion had already shown the gift to Yenid and had asked if it was okay.

So, Robbins would find out about it, and Fred would naturally hear about it.

Since I did as Fred hoped for Hanette, a plausible excuse was created.

‘After buying gloves with the remaining money… I can draw Exceed Rain.’

Holy water had to go through a special process to drink it and get immunity to magic power erosion.

After that, he had to prepare equipment to draw Exceed Rain.

Since he had a fairly decent amount of money, it shouldn’t have been too difficult to win the bid.

‘Finally, the time has come for me to become strong too.’
