chapter 142
142 – This Time Sir Dern
I had no choice but to stiffen my whole body as I heard Shien’s eerily calm voice.
Just when I was getting more and more stiff, I couldn’t even figure out what excuse to make or how to convince him.
Shien approaches me and Espin at a slightly faster pace, and she closes her mouth as if she is worried about various things, but then she slowly opens her mouth and speaks to me.
“… Lord Dern. As I said before, it is okay to have a concubine. “I remember telling you that you need to pay that much attention to me.”
I nodded slightly because I felt like I had heard this before.
Sien subtly pushes Espin away and speaks to me as if he is disappointed.
“So, why didn’t you come visit me?”
“… “
To be honest, I was so busy with work that I didn’t even think about going.
‘In addition to researching and modifying magic obtained from bishops and archbishops, I also had to deal with the fight against the Celestial Church on my own.’
Even though I might have a moment to spare, I didn’t have time to go see someone for no reason.
‘So, honestly, I feel a little unfair… No, if you think about it calmly, isn’t it unfair?’
If I didn’t have time to meet you, I could have contacted you through a letter or magic.
At the very least, if I had just said a word to the deacon to come directly to him, it wouldn’t have gotten to this point.
I am reflecting a bit, thinking that it is a result of my complacency and laziness.
Shien looks at me, thinks for a moment, and then speaks to me in a somewhat anxious voice.
“… “I’m sure you’re not tired of me.”
“It’s not like that.”
“… Well then, I’m glad.”
Shien looked at Espin and me back and forth, looking for an explanation.
I looked at Shien and spoke with her sighing.
“As you know, Espin is a former inspector general, and she is an important person who brings me accurate and detailed information.”
“Yes. “I know because I heard it before.”
“So, excluding romantic feelings, the time we have to be together to share information is bound to be long.”
I tried my best to say that there was nothing I could do.
Shien opens her mouth and tries to say something, but she quickly closes her mouth and nods her head.
‘Does it feel like you want to understand rather than convince?’
Perhaps because of her work, she has been in a situation where she has to constantly be involved with others even though she does not want to be involved with them.
It seemed like he understood what I meant when I said this.
Just when I was thinking that I was lucky that Shien had a reasonable personality, I heard something unexpected.
“… Even so, I feel jealous.”
Honest and direct words.
I was momentarily taken aback by those words and looked at Shien.
Shien took a step closer to me and continued her words.
“The fact that my fiancé is messing around with other women… “I’m so jealous that I can’t sleep well every night.”
“… “
When you say you’re jealous so openly, I’m left with nothing to say.
I’m looking at Shien like that and thinking I don’t know what to say.
I see Espin nearby smiling awkwardly and quietly running away.
As soon as I saw this, I initially thought about capturing Espin.
Realizing that nothing good would come of showing this scene to Espin, she decided to just keep her mouth shut.
The most important thing in the current situation was to appease Shien.
‘Then what should I do?’
Unfortunately, I’m not good at speaking.
At times like this, I couldn’t even figure out what to say to comfort Shien, so I couldn’t open my mouth easily.
That’s why I was looking at Shien thinking I couldn’t even figure out what to do.
“… Please do it.”
Shien asks for something in a crawling voice.
“What?”
“Kiss… “Please kiss me.”
I’ve already done this several times, but I’m still not used to making such requests.
Shien talks to me with a red face, as if he is shaking, and his gaze gradually lowers.
I chuckled a little at those words and slowly approached Shien and continued her story.
“Is that okay?”
“… Yes, yes?”
Shien sounds embarrassed, as if he didn’t know I was going to take a step closer.
I slowly reached out to Shien, touched her cheek, and continued talking.
“I asked if he would be satisfied with just kissing me.”
At that question, Shien looked up at me with a somewhat blank expression.
Soon, his expression changed to that of being possessed by something and he hesitated.
He shakes his head and talks to me.
“No. I am Lord Dern… “I want to do more than that.”
“What is more?”
“… Well, that is.”
Unlike before, Shien was unable to answer these questions easily and her face became even more red.
It seems that, unlike before, I received s*x education from someone else.
I chuckled at Shien’s reaction and patted her head.
“It was a joke. Even though we are engaged, it is still a little early… “
“It’s not too early. Lord Dern.”
The moment I said it was too early, Sien pushed me back and firmly said, ‘No.’
Soon he throws me down on the bed and talks to me in a slightly angry voice.
“From what I heard, anything can be tolerated between fiancés. Of course, we also have to take responsibility.”
When I sensed something was wrong, I urgently called Shien.
“Xian?”
Shien seemed to have no intention of listening and ignored what I said, pressing her body closer to me and talking.
“… So, I will do what Lord Dern has wanted to do for a while.”
Hearing those words, I nodded, wondering what on earth Shien wanted to do and why he would do this.
‘I don’t know anymore.’
I sigh and decide to just accept it.
Suddenly, Shien took out her quill from her arms and spoke to me with a very proud expression.
“I also wanted to doodle on Sir Dern.”
“… Graffiti?”
“Yes. “Graffiti is usually done on one’s own property, so I also want to leave a graffiti for Lord Dern this time.”
I couldn’t stop laughing at Shien’s words
Speaking very seriously, I thought you were trying to cross the line again.
This is because it was a lighter request than expected.
‘That’s right.’
I spoke to Shien with a sigh mixed with regret and relief.
“You can do it if you want.”
“… “Are you sure?”
“It doesn’t matter because it’s not that difficult.”
At those words, Shien looked at me with a bright smile and spoke while carefully holding my top with her hands.
“Well, then can I take off my clothes?”
“So be it.”
“… Yes.”
Shien hesitated and pulled the hem of her dress, as if she was quite embarrassed about taking off my clothes.
She carefully lifts it up and her face turns even brighter.
“… It looks like you don’t train, but you have a very strong body.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. It’s a really pretty body.”
It’s my first time receiving a compliment like this, so I’m thinking it’s a strange feeling.
This time, Shien unbuttons her clothes and talks to me.
“It wouldn’t be fair if only Lord Dern took off…” ” “I will take it off too.”
I tried to stop Shien from his unexpected behavior
Shien takes off her clothes rather proudly and talks to me.
“Ah! For reference, the scribbles made by Lord Dern still remain.”
“Still?”
“Yes. “It’s the first graffiti that Sir Dern gave me, so of course I have to have it.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Shien’s words
I don’t know whether I should say thank you for thinking of it as something precious or whether I should say that it doesn’t have to go to that level.
Sien puts her body against mine in her underwear and whispers softly to me.
“Then let’s do some doodling.”
“Do whatever you want.”
I think I feel the peculiar tickle of a magically soft quill near my shoulder
Shien looked at this and smiled playfully as if she had an idea of something.
“Lord Dern. “I remembered one thing that was okay.”
“What is it?”
“There’s no need to just doodle with a pen, right?”
“What does that mean?”
“This… “I think it would be better to show it rather than say it.”
After saying that, Shien took out a magic item that looked like lipstick from her arms.
After applying his teeth to his lips, he hits his teeth on the back of my neck and laughs.
“This kind of graffiti is also possible.”
I am laughing at such behavior.
As Shien stared at me, she slowly stood up and spoke, pointing to her lower abdomen.
“Well, I’m talking about it in that sense. “Can’t Lord Dern do it here this time, like I did before?”
