“He’s a perfect person, but it doesn’t mean that a person’s heart is determined by that . ”
Yeah, it is .
If I could have liked only those who meet the conditions, I wouldn’t have jumped into the fire myself because I liked someone I shouldn’t have liked now .
‘Crazy, really . What should I do with a psychopath without blood or tears, I’m a person who looks at personality rather than face……maybe . ’
I thought so, but I could hear Sir Davery’s voice .
“You’re right . ”
“Right?”
“Lady . ”
I turned my head . He continued his words when I gave a glance to him .
“I’ve been talking about it, but in fact, I don’t think there’s anything more important if you’re happy anyway . ”
“…… . . ”
“I hope you’re happy . Whoever you choose . ”
“Why all of a sudden are you giving words of blessing?”
“A loyal knight sometimes wants to convey his true feelings to the lady he serves . ”
The sly reply made me laugh . Oh, my .
“I wish Sir Davery too could meet someone nice and be happy . I mean it . ”
Sir Davery had no answer .
I walked towards the mansion first and looked around and he wasn’t following me .
“Sir?”
The distance has fallen quite a bit, and the day has darkened, so I can’t see the other person’s face here .
After a while, he was stopped and moved . His legs are as long as he was tall . It was quick to catch up with me with a few steps .
“What did you do?”
“Excuse me . I was lost in thought . ”
“Sometimes a loyal knight wants to sell his mind to the lady he serves?”
“You’re very sharp . As expected from the lady I serve . ”
I shook my head and entered the mansion . Sir Davery was not turned back this time .
><><><><><><><
The next day, a card arrived in front of me .
The pink card, which adds colourful steel to give a guess of the sender’s taste, contained a brief dragon, unlike its appearance .
[I invited my dear Princess to tea time in my mansion . I’ll be looking forward to your visit .
Sender: Irene Isaac]
And I couldn’t help but admire Irene’s timing selection at this time .
‘How does she know?’
I was in a bad mood when I turned down the crown prince .
I can’t believe she had created a number of cases to distract me .
‘Cause I was a little curious about what she had been up to . ’
I left the mansion according to the time written at the bottom of the invitation without much thought .
“Princess, you’re here! I’m so glad you could make it . ”
Irene looked pretty good . This was the first time we saw each other since we broke up like that during a hunting competition .
“Long time no see, Lady Isaac . How have you been?”
“Thanks to the Princess . And you can call me Irene . ”
Irene added shyly . Surprised by the intimacy felt in her attitude, Irene guided me inside .
“Come this way . I’ve prepared tea time for our backyard . I’ve arranged this and that, but I don’t know if you’ll like it . Oh, of course, it’s not me, but the chef . ”
And then the scene of all the chefs having prepared welcomed me . I thought the chef wouldn’t be safe after all of this, since there were too many .
‘What is all this?’
Various refreshments, which seemed to be difficult to list all their names, filled the table dazzlingly from here to there in a flash .
“I didn’t know your taste, so I just tried it all . ”
“Well…”
‘Isn’t there a dying message left in the kitchen?’
I sat down, questioning the fate of the unknown chef .
Irene immediately opened up the ‘investigation’ with a bright face .
“How have you been, Princess? I heard you were sick, are you okay now? I heard you didn’t attend the Imperial Palace ball either . Actually, I couldn’t go to the ball either . I was scolded and disciplined for telling my parents honestly about the hunting competition . Fortunately, I was released yesterday . I was bored because I had to stay in the room the whole time, but after that…… . ”
‘She talks a lot . ’
I surely realized it just now . Irene was talkative . I felt it since the letter was so long .
I remembered the last letter of regards, which amounted to three chapters .
I laughed suddenly as I listened silently to Irene’s constant chattering, which resembled someone else .
I just found out, it’s tea time but it turned out that there was no tea on the table .
It’s a trivial fact in a way, but it made me laugh unintentionally . At that time, Irene, who was talking diligently, shut her mouth .
Then she wiggled her finger on the table .
“Well, are you in trouble because I pretend to be close?”
“Huh? No, not at all . ”
‘So she pretended to be close . ’
Somehow I thought it was not ordinary hospitality . Her tea time wasn’t always dazzlingly like this .
Well, if that was the case then there would have been kitchen rumours against the backdrop of Count Isaac . Everyone who has come in but no one survived . Oh, my .
“…… I know it’s shameless . Because I’ve been rude to the princess from the beginning . ”
“Are you talking about the past?”
I pushed the brownie plate with whipped cream close to Irene . The white and black crab looked strangely good with the black-haired Irene .
“You already apologized to me for that . I decided to accept the apology . So that’s just past it . ”
“……you’re so generous, princess . ”
“It wasn’t a big deal . ”
Moreover, it was Irene who had her situation worse than I did on that day .
I was wondering if I should say this or not, but then a voice that wasn’t that loud fell on the table .
“I envy the princess . ”
“Huh, me?”
“You are so confident and beautiful . ”
“……”
“You stand out everywhere……… . ”
I closed my mouth and chose an answer .
I was immune to flattery, but now it seems not just empty words . While agonizing inwardly over what to say, Irene continued .
“……and you have a nice escort . ”
“Huh?”
“Well, I’m just saying . In my eyes, the princess has everything . So I envy you . ”
I blinked my eyes .
‘Just now…’
Why was the escort coming out of there all of a sudden?
It would have been more natural in terms of flow if she had said that I had a cool younger brother . Since Irene likes Ash .
‘…… eh?’
Irene was slightly flustered when I stared at her silently .
“Have you tried this? It’s banana milk pudding, and it tastes really good . It’s the work of our chef’s remorse, no, it’s a masterpiece . ”
(T/N: remorse 유작 and masterpiece 역작 have similar words in hangul, that’s why she misused it)
‘I think she just killed the chef for a while . ’
That amplified my doubt . Why was she so flustering?
I thought nothing of it, but soon I opened my mouth .
“Yes, my escort is a good man . He’s got a good personality, he’s talented . ”
“……”
“A married man with three children . ”
“No way! ……gasp . ”
Without realizing it, Irene, who stood up and shouted, immediately closed her mouth .
Of course, it’s too late .
I looked up at Irene with a face that must have failed to control his facial expression and showed ‘no way’ expression instead .
“Irene…”
“Oh, no, not . That’s not . ”
“When did that happen?”
‘Irene and Sir Davery?’
It was only a few days ago that we followed Irene, who entered a dangerous hunting ground dressed as a man to try to catch Ash’s eye .
‘Maybe within this week . ’
But what’s this? What about this sudden situation?
Irene had her white face become so red and soon sat down with a resigned look . Irene dropped her head like a sinner .
“You’re going to criticize me, aren’t you? I know . ”
“What?”
“You can laugh . If you want to swear and point fingers, feel free to do it . ”
“No, I won’t . ”
Who was she making me out with a broken personality?
When I first denied it in a perplexed voice, Irene raised her head that had slouched down .
“You’re not laughing at me?”
“Why should I be laughing? More than that, is the situation matched with what I think? What I mean, Irene… . . ”
“…that’s right . He took me home safely from the last hunting competition even though he was injured . It was so cool and……that’s all . ”
Irene’s face became a darker reddish colour .
I forgot what to say .
‘This is……’
She’s a geumsappa .
(T/N: geumsappa 금사빠 from 금방 사랑에 빠지는 사람 that have meaning ‘A person who falls in love quickly . ’ I don’t know what the English word for this)
I assure you there was no more appropriate and complete word to describe this situation right now .
Irene was a geumsappa . A person who falls in love quickly .
“Well, aren’t you really laughing at me?”
“I’m not laughing at you . Why do you think I’m gonna laugh at you like that?”
“That’s funny . It’s so easy… . . to someone else right away…… . ”
“Irene’s heart is her freedom . So if I laugh at you for having a changing heart, then that means I laugh at other people’s freedom . No one was qualified to do that? At least that’s what I think . ”
… . . of course, I was surprised, but I’m still not showing it, I’m pretty embarrassed inside .
“And Irene, you said you envied me . ”
I kept talking to hide the shock .
“Rather, I used to envy Irene sincerely . ”
“Well, why would you…… . . ”
“That’s a secret . Anyway, I did, but since Irene says she’s jealous of me today, I guess envy is an avoidable feeling . Everyone has it in their heart once in a while . ”
I met Irene’s eyes . For a moment a small voice dispersed into the air .
“Thank you . ”
I was wondering what she was grateful for, but I didn’t ask . Somehow I felt like I shouldn’t .
“Thank you so much for coming to tea time today . ”
“Well, rather I’m grateful for inviting me . ”
“……can I invite you often like this in the future?”
