Chapter 139 – 8. Perisha, the Proud Lady of a Suspicious Baron

After being led by Perisha to the wide garden, I followed her around as she explained the garden with a bright smile like a puppy.

“This is the seedling I planted as a commemoration when I became an adult! Bindel and I dug the ground and planted it diligently!”

“It is a cute tree.”

As I looked at Perisha while stroking a branch that was just growing, Perisha with a bright smile nodded her head and replied.

“Yes?! Huhu, plant a peach seedling from someone you know and you can eat delicious peaches soon.”

Perisha didn’t seem to know how long she would have to wait for this to grow, so she just nodded her head in response. Excited by my praise, Perisha began to explain to me, walking around the garden with a quick pace like an excited puppy.

“This is my mother’s favorite flower garden. Water it every day, talk kindly and take care of it!”

“Ah, this is a seedling that my father gave me as a gift. It is a good gift to call a movie of wealth and honor.”

Interesting stories were talked about excitedly, while uninteresting or unfamiliar things were explained in a distinctly subdued tone and passed over. Let’s burst into laughter at the lady acting as she really sees it, and Perisha, who looked at her with puzzled eyes, said ah! She beckoned me with a sigh and ran off somewhere.

“Oh…”

Entering the small rose-covered garden, Perisha pointed to a small tea table, and she sat down first and called for me. As she followed Perisha’s beckoning and sat down on her chair, Perisha, who had been chirping in her excited voice, handed me an apology with her sorry face.

“I’m sorry I didn’t serve her guests and make her a cup of tea…”

“No, it was a fun time because the lady told me about this and that.”

“Thank you so much for saying that! Now, this is the rose tea I received as a gift.”

Clicking – Perisha, who put the teacup in front of me, looked at me with a triumphant face as she followed the long tea stem. Still, seeing that she prepared in advance for a guest to come, it seemed that she wasn’t a clumsy young lady.

“Hmm…”

I looked at Perisha with a smile at the thick scent of roses that lingered on the tip of her nose. Perisha, who poured tea into her own cup herself, raised the cup with her graceful hands, sent her eye smile at me, and took a sip of tea gracefully as she did.

-Horok

“Huheung, when I smell this rich scent, I really enjoy the time I am spending right now.

I nodded her head while rolling my tongue at the rich rose scent that lingered on the tip of her tongue and in her mouth. The more I tasted it, the more I thought of Minerva’s body scent, which had a strong rose scent, and gave me a sinister thought.

-Dalgrak

Enjoying the silence that came with each other, only the sound of passing cars flooded the garden. She asked me, raising her eyebrows as if she had suddenly remembered Perisha, who put down the teacup with a satisfied expression, as if she had emptied all of her cup.

“There is something I want to ask Mr. Cassano, if you don’t mind, can I ask?”

What question are you trying to ask? Feeling relieved at Perisha’s expression, worried that she might be really rude, I nodded her head and urged her to ask questions.

“Oh really?! So, are you in a relationship with Sierra-sama by any chance?”

“Lover, Lee.”

The harsh words rolled across his tongue. As if I had swallowed her sandy sand, I looked at Perisha while chewing on words that bothered me.

“You don’t have to tell me if you’re uncomfortable! I did it because I wanted to ask you something!”

“We love each other.”

I didn’t lie. At the words she couldn’t utter easily, she frowned at her a bit disgusted with herself, but at Perisha’s gaze at her, she immediately relaxed her face and answered in a friendly voice. In response to her reply that she was in love, Perisha clapped her little hands with excitement like her child, and she was delighted as if it were her own.

“I knew it! Hehe, one thing I notice is staggering- As soon as I see that you two are in love with each other-“

Excited at the thought that she had met her own expectations, Perisha preached for a long time about her own greatness, like a lark chirping day and night. She showed a tired smile and nodded her head. Perisha covered her mouth with a huff- and for one second, two seconds and three seconds, she rolled her eyes, then very slowly released her hand and asked me in a languid tone.

“Yeah, if you love each other, no matter what happens… You want to be together, right?”

“…I don’t want to fall.”

I remembered the women in the village. Rachel, who believed only in me and followed me without regret, Tsuruka and Eruka, who only looked at me, and Undine, who is still connected to me while looking around the mansion. There was Haruna and Minerva, but in fact, they didn’t feel particularly dependent on me. Is it because you are older?

Feeling my head clear at Perishia’s pure question, I remembered the saying that you can gain enlightenment even in trivial things. Thanks to that, I looked at Perisha with her hearty smile, and Perisha, who wiggled her index fingers and rolled her pupils, slowly opened her tight mouth and spoke to me in a small voice.

“Actually, I also have someone I love… But I couldn’t tell my father or mother…?”

“Wouldn’t the lady welcome both of you if I told you?”

I had never met or heard of the Baroness, so it was difficult for her to be certain, but when Baron Whistle met and talked to her, it was clear that she cared for Perishia quite a bit. She seemed like someone who would raise her hands and welcome her daughter, whom she had raised like a jade leaf, to someone she loved, so I encouraged Perisha, who was hesitant.

“That’s it, um…”

Perisha, who furrowed her eyebrows and puffed out her cheeks over and over again, eventually shook her head with a sad smile. The tomboyish lady who stood up pushing the chair with her waist suddenly pointed at me behind me and said in a bright voice.

“Hey dear Sierra is coming! I’ll be on my way, so you two have a good time!”

Perisha, who seemed to be trying hard to pretend to be bright, walked quickly out of the garden before I could say anything to her. Sierra, who had been approaching from afar, approached me with quick steps and asked the first thing.

“What were you talking about?”

“We just talked about this and that, things like the garden and the people I love…”

“Is that so? I had my eyes on the young lady and thought I had touched her hand.”

Is that why she came in such a hurry? Sierra turned her head while snoring, and when I took a step closer to her, Sierra turned her head away from the garden with a quick turn of her head.

“Were you jealous?”

I hugged Sierra, who stood proudly with her arms crossed, from behind her, and I stroked her body that fit perfectly into her arms and left a short kiss on her ear. She seemed to be full of displeasure, so Sierra kept her mouth shut and didn’t answer until the end, but as she hugged her stomach tightly and rubbed her cheek against her head, a raspy voice stopped me.

“…Stop it, what are you going to do if someone sees it?”

“What, you love each other, is there something wrong?”

“…”

Sierra, her ears and her face flushed red, put her hand on my arm that was holding her and bowed her head. The woman who seemed so big when she answered confidently in front of the baron was now infinitely small.

Worried that I might accidentally break the delicate Sierra, I relaxed my hand and whispered softly in her ear as her face was still blushing.

“I love you.”

“…You’re not going to touch the lady like this, are you?”

“No, I’m not some horny beast…”

I tried to strongly deny Sierra’s words, but when she suddenly appeared for the first time, I remembered Perisha’s riding clothes. Her white riding breeches, wrapped around her stocky thighs, were charming. When the person who was trying to argue with her mouth closed tightly, Sierra looked back with her puzzled eyes, but she soon pressed her head with her upper body and made it immobilize her.

“Aww, it’s heavy! Get out of the way!”

“Isn’t it time for dinner soon? Should I change my clothes?”

“Ah…”

Sierra glanced at her own attire in response to my question, the leather armor and cloak she wore in preparation for her two-day ascent, the same appearance as when she departed. Sniff-sniff-sweat reminded me of it, so I pinched her nose. Puck-my shoved her in the chest, Sierra grabbed her cloak and yelled at me with her red-stained face.

“What, what are you doing!!!”

“No, I’m just curious…”

“Oops! I’ll go first, so come on your own! Come to the embankment in time for dinner!”

Watching the dainty Sierra leave, I grabbed her teapot in the empty rose garden and tilted it slightly in front of her. Was

– Jjorororok

The richly fragrant tea water that flowed down in an elegant curve hit the cup and splashed drop by drop, settling in it. The tea had already cooled down, but the fragrance was still there, so I picked up the teacup and poured it into a sip.

“Hmm.”

The first taste was awkward, but the second time was different. The scent of roses that I had become accustomed to and experienced rather aroused my curiosity. As a young lady who is thinking about love, I thought that it would be nice if it would be the best entertainment to make the period of migration as enjoyable as possible.

Dalgrak- I put a teacup on a pure white plate and left the garden. As I headed towards the mansion, adjusting my clothes in the cool garden air, Todo Dot-something ran at a quick pace in the distance.

“Huh?”

A familiar direction with a familiar dress color. Concerned by alternately looking at the setting sun and the direction Perisha was heading, I followed Perisha while thinking that I would never be late.

– Jeop-bu, Je-beok, Je-beok

What did you find that made you run so hastily? While walking in a trance, lost in thought, I saw a warehouse with a red roof. Looking at the generation of wagons standing alone next to a fairly large warehouse, it seemed that the mercenaries had left their seats for a while after finishing their work.

“…Huh?”

I came all the way to the warehouse and saw the warehouse door tightly closed and chained. I wondered if I should just go back, and as I was about to turn around, I noticed a light shimmering through the small window and approached the window with slow steps, clinging to the wall.

-…! ,,,,

-…!

When I put my ears on the small glass window, I heard two voices ringing. You can hear it clearly if you open the window, but I’m overhearing that – it was like coming out openly. Circumstances made it clear that one of the two in the warehouse was Perisha, so I closed my eyes and poured all my senses into my hearing as before.

He emptied his head, closed his eyes, and raised the mana in his stomach. The mana that revolved around my body according to my will strengthened my five senses, and all of my five senses, which had become sensitive, focused only on the subtle conversation I could hear right now. Then, the small voices that had been sparsely heard came little by little.

[…So it’s not that I don’t like the lady… I have other eyes, so you shouldn’t come.]

[What does that matter? I’ve always done what I wanted, and I want to continue to act that way.]

[Whoa… Lady.]

[Ugh… Okay… Next time I won’t unilaterally visit you while I’m at work…]

[Good job]

The tone of a young man who was clumsy and resolute contrasted with Perisha’s clear voice. It was a voice I had heard many times, but I wasn’t sure, so I continued to overhear the conversation without losing my concentration.

[…Do you know what the man who came along with Sierra-sama this time said?]

[What touching words did my lady have to run all the way here?]

[I don’t want to leave the person I love – I want to always be by your side and share every exciting moment with you, right?]

[…That’s a good word.]

[…

Did I even say that? Concentration was released from embarrassment, and the mana that had been swirling all over the body was let go. I opened my eyes, sorted out the conversation I had overheard while sitting against the wall, and quietly went back to the mansion.

“It will be fun.”

The man was busy resolutely cutting off Perisha’s fervent courtship. What made them both like that? I didn’t know if it was a lover of boredom or a love of a different status, but the conversation I just overheard made my interest in Perisha even greater.

Watching the sun drifting over the mountain range as it was almost set, I hurriedly went inside the mansion before hearing Sierra’s evil order and asked the servant for my room. The maid who was cleaning her hallway put a broom on my question and guided me directly to her room.
