I Became the Fiancé of a Crazy Heroine

Hanette doesn’t stop knocking on the door anxiously.

Would he have been so upset if she hadn’t worn that necklace?

Although she didn’t like what he was doing, she couldn’t just leave him alone.

‘He’s stubborn…’

Hanette shook the doorknob back and forth, but it was locked from the inside, so she couldn’t open it.

If she used magic, she could burn the door down, but she would get caught by her parents or the maid.

“Bring me the key to this room!”

“Y-yes? But…”

“I said bring it!”

“Oh…okay.”

The maid hurriedly turned her back and ran down the hallway.

Hanette sighed and started banging on the door again.

“Hey! Come out! Let’s talk calmly, Okay? It’s not like anything will happen if you keep doing this…”

The door made a creaking sound and shook slightly.

Hanette took a step back in surprise.

At the same time, the door opened and Sion appeared.

“Why are you making so much noise? Can’t you be quiet?”

“Why are you like this? If you’re angry with me, shouldn’t you tell me?”

Hanette looked at Sion with exhaustion.

Unlike yesterday, there was no energy in his eyes, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.

It seemed as if he had been struggling with loneliness for a long time.

“… What are you talking about? I’m not angry with you.”

“Sigh… Fine, If that’s how you’re going to act. Let’s talk now.”

“Can’t you wait just a little bit? I don’t have much time.”

“I’ll wait for you, so come outside.”

“Are you waiting outside?”

“Ah, forget it! Open the door. I’m coming in and talk.”

As Hanette didn’t back down, Sion reluctantly opened the way.

Hanette quickly looked around to see if there were any changes.

Sion weakly stepped forward and locked the door.

“So why did you bring up the widow? What did you want to say?”

“Well, see this? I wore it as you asked me to. Don’t do anything like this in the future, okay?”

“Wore it? Oh, that?”

Sion belatedly noticed the relic hanging from Hanette’s neck and let out a small laugh.

Did she create this fuss since morning just to show him that?

“Well, it suits you well. It’s well worth my efforts.”

“I suppose so. You bought your favourite, so of course it will look good on me, right?”

“My sister don’t wear jewelry, do you? I thought it might be okay to wear something like a necklace.”

Sion didn’t get angry even though he was hungry and thirsty.

Until just a little while ago, he was getting dizzy trying to endure it all.

But seeing Hanette come in and treat him as usual, it gave him a little boost of energy.

“…Necklace is fine. Earrings, though… not really my thing.”

“What’s wrong with earrings?”

“You have to pierce your ears… it’s a little daunting, and I’m not really into flashy things like that.”

“Hahaha! Are you scared of getting your ears pierced?”

“Hey, where’s the fun in getting your ears pierced?”

“Well… that makes sense. But what do you mean by daunting?”

“It’s just too flashy. I don’t really like that kind of thing.”

“Wow, you’re surprisingly simple.”

“That kind of thing is just for nobles to show off. It doesn’t really matter to me.”

“… With your face, nobles would probably flock to you.”

Sion spoke of his true feelings as he sat down in the chair.

Despite being called the “Crazy Young Lady” by the nobles, they couldn’t turn away from her because of her looks. That’s how beautiful she is..

Of course, Hanette deliberately kept her distance from the nobles, but a few had boldly approached her to get closer.

Every time that happened, Hanette had sharply rebuked them, and they had no choice but to leave in fear.

“So, you think it’s too much for you. But at least I have some face value.”

“Hehe… You sound arrogant now that you’ve been praised a bit.”

“Well, since I’m the ‘Crazy Young Lady’, it’s okay to be arrogant, right?”

“You said, I don’t like being called a Crazy.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter since It’s I who said myself.”

“So, are you saying something like ‘take good care of me’ from now on?”

“I’m not going to tell you to take good care of me, so please don’t do things like this. What am I supposed to do if you’re locked up in room all day?”

Hanette looked at him with a worried expression and felt a sense of relief.

Although they were forced into an engagement, she didn’t want any problems to arise with Sion.

They were both in the same position, and they had promised to cooperate with each other.

“Didn’t I tell you in advance?”

“But what if you actually do it?”

“Well… I did it because I had to.”

“You’re really… ugh… okay, you won. I’ll keep wearing this from now on, so don’t do this again. Got it?”

“What are you talking about right now?”

“You’re being stubborn!”

“I didn’t insist on anything.”

“Then why you lock yourself in the room?”

“Ah… wait a minute.”

Sion gestures with his hand as he notices a change in his body.

The cool energy that had been circulating throughout his body slowly began to disappear.

Gradually, a warm sensation filled the empty space and spread throughout his body.

“Are you okay? Do you have any pains?”

“I’m not in pain… I’m just a little hungry. And thirsty.”

“You haven’t eaten anything all day?”

“It just happened. Ah, is it a secret from the Duke Adelaira?”

“Hey, you crazy person! Why starve yourself?!”

Hanette unconsciously curses and looks at him uncomfortably.

Why would he starve to the point of not eating anything because she didn’t wear them right away?

If she had known this would happen, she would have put on the necklace as requested.

“Okay… I’ll show it to only you. I gained something from starving myself.”

Sion stretches out his right hand and pulls out something deep within his body.

Then, an unfamiliar energy flows out of his heart and reaches his right hand.

“……You can’t be…”

“Do you know what this is? I told you I would awaken.”

“…So suddenly like this?”

“Well, sometimes things happen suddenly in this world.”

Sion emits magic imbued with a golden light and concentrates it in his right hand.

This was the magic and immunity to magic erosion that he had been seeking so desperately.

Of course, compared to El Tesoikve original magic, it was incomplete, but it was enough to handle the Exceed Rain.

‘…It’s meaningless unless I’ve already taken the Crimson Limpia Macina beforehand.’

The Crimson Limpia Macina had the role of implementing El Tesoikve’s magic while providing immunity to mental domination.

Therefore, Sion drank the Holy Water created by El Tesoikve and absorbed the magic completely into his body.

However, if he had already awakened his magic, the chances of failure would increase, and if El Tesoikve denied the subject, he could be seriously injured or even killed.

‘I was the perfect candidate for those conditions. Should I consider myself lucky?’

Sion feels a sense of relief as he gathers the magic.

Although it took considerable time and money, he was finally able to achieve his goal.

Now that he had that equipment, all he had to do was get his hands on the Exceed Rain.

“Okay, let’s go eat. Can you walk?”

“If I can’t, will you carry me?”

“Do you want me to kick you with my foot? You’re holding it in quite a bit. Just come quietly.”

“You’re going to kick your fiance? Isn’t that a bit extreme?”

“Isn’t it better than starving all day like a crazy person?”

“….”

Sion slowly walks by without saying a word.

From Hanette’s perspective, awakening magic may not have a significant impact.

Since Hanette had already awakened her magic and learned magic.

‘But she’s still wearing the gift I gave her. I take it, she doesn’t hate it.’
