Chapter 142 – 8. Perisha, the Proud Lady of a Suspicious Baron
For some reason, the way home with Perisha, who was speechless, and Catra, who glanced at such a young lady, sank into a chilly silence. She didn’t even dare to open her mouth for no reason, but seeing Perisha immersed in her troubles with her lips pressed together, it seemed that she would soar even further into catastrophe if she spoke for nothing.
Dag dag- dag dag-
Even for a moment like a cushion of thorns, thanks to the horses who did not stop their legs even for a moment, they arrived near the mansion in no time. As I was preparing to get off while stroking the horse’s neck as it twitched, I stopped for a moment when I saw a mysterious man approaching.
“Bindel!”
Perisha, who was standing in front of her, got off her horse as if she was falling from her horse, shouting the man’s name in front of her so loudly that the forest roared. Holding her forehead, Katra watched her white horse’s galling as if she were used to it, stroked her neck, and approached me as she was about to lead her two horses to the mansion.
“Just then, the deacon in charge came. I will lead the customer until the end, so I think you can stay and talk about business.
I nodded at her, got off her horse, and handed her the reins. Seeing Perisha talking to Bindel while chattering like an elongated lark, and him bluntly passing it off, I would have just followed her. I regretted it.
“Nice to meet you, this is Cassano who received a warehouse request from the baron.”
I had to leave my regrets as regrets and say hello, so I forced myself to approach them. Conversation was interrupted. Perisha looked at me with her rugged face scratching the ground with the heel of her boot, and Bindel greeted me with a rather grateful smile.
“Ah! Nice to meet you. This is Bindel, in charge of warehouse material management. I’m not a full-time butler yet… Haha.”
“Is it? I thought I was the butler without fail.”
“Is that so?! Certainly our Bindel is dignified and mature-“
“Miss.”
Perisha, flattered by my compliments, took a step forward and approached me, covering Bindel with her small frame. Perisha shrugged her shoulders and was about to brag about her compliments, but at the sound of her voice calling her, her shoulders trembled and she took a step back with a hee-heh smile.
“Sorry. My lady behaves insolently in front of guests…”
“No, it’s not like he can’t wear it even on the axis of ugliness. It’s rather nice to see him because he looks friendly.”
“If you say so…”
Perishia’s shoulders, which had been caught in my defense, soared. Her smile leaked out a little at the thought that she was the woman she was. By the time I was looking at Perisha with her subtle smile, Bindel, who took a step closer, looked up at me and licked her lips. She was Perisha I heard that she was the same age, but she was amazed at the height difference between her and me.
“Oops, I’m sorry to keep talking about it. The baron asked me to catch a thief in and out of the warehouse…?”
I nodded towards Bindel, who was silent at the end of her words, and asked as I tapped the sword at my waist with my hand.
“Yes, but I’m a bit worried because you said there was a thief. I don’t even know how to deal with it.”
“The best thing is to catch the thief…But I haven’t caught it for months, so it’s hard to say.”
I haven’t been able to catch it for months, is it accumulated? After trying to shed her stupid thoughts, I glanced at Perisha, who was comforting Bindel from the side.
“It’s not Bindel’s fault! That thief who has been sneaking into my baron’s warehouse for months and stealing items one by one is wrong!”
The more I organized it, the more I laughed at the fact that he must be responsible. After trying to pass the same deputy attendant’s poem above, I asked him what I was curious about.
“Are there any expenses?”
“As a duty on duty, I am in charge of setting up security and taking turns. I also checked to see if shift workers were taking it, but that never happened.”
There’s no way the guards steal from the guards under orders from the baron, so are they just outsiders? In fact, it was obvious that the more suspicious the security guard at the warehouse, the more stolen goods would increase. If they guard it alternately day and night, but rather suspect it as a thief, who will stand guard diligently?
“From what I’ve heard, I don’t think the guards are the culprits.”
“I think so too. That’s why I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the work of an outsider.”
“How often do you get thieves…?”
Bindel, who was a bit teary-eyed at my question, shook his head with a sigh.
“It doesn’t come regularly. There are days when I steal items in a row, and there are times when I spend a week quietly and rob them.”
It is a thief, an outsider who beats the guards day and night and breaks into the warehouse and steals goods whenever he wants… Around the time he was scratching his forehead with his fingernails and contemplating a troublesome request, Bindel said in a low voice.
“Honestly, even the baron said don’t try to catch them with too much energy unless they disappear en masse.”
“But he was worried about what to do if the present for Count Haengmil was gone.”
Ah- At the mention of the gift, Bindel’s face hardened. He’s not even an official butler, so it’s obvious that his head would be blown off if something like that happened. Seeing him with a cold, stiff face, as if he hadn’t heard anything about him, he felt a bit pitiful.
It is pitiful to be pitiful, and if the damage is severe due to mistakes, there is nothing we can do about it.
“I’m thinking of doing a random inspection of the warehouse separately or looking to see if there are any traces, is that okay?”
“Of course. I will organize the list of traces and items I found and deliver them to you, so please wait for a while.”
“Um, and…”
As if what I said was a little shocking, I felt someone approaching while I was talking with Bindel, who seemed to be serious about catching the thief. It was clear that she was someone else, as Perisha kept her mouth shut as her business conversation continued beside her.
“What, all the other servants have returned, so why are you still here?”
“Sierra.”
Since there are no barons or others, can we omit the honorifics? She greeted her affectionately as she approached wearing a neat black skirt and a slightly oversized white shirt.
“Aren’t those my clothes?”
Only after seeing Sierra approaching right next to her and noticing that the shirt she was wearing was mine did I mention it without passing by. I mentioned how cute she was with her sleeves folded several times and the long hem of her shirt tucked into her skirt, but Sierra denied it with her blushing face, perhaps embarrassed.
“What do you say? I must be overly self-conscious, all shirts are shirts haha- oh hot-“
Fluttering fluttering-I was looking at Sierra, who was cooling her face with her hand fan, with her cute eyes, but Perisha, who was standing behind Bindel, looked at Sierra with envious eyes, then glanced at Bindel. Convinced by her anxious appearance that the man Perisha was talking about was Bindel, I finally figured out why she didn’t leave her seat and stayed by his side.
“My lady is here too, so let’s talk about tomorrow as well. The sun is losing, so we have to go back to the mansion soon.”
“All right. Lady, I will take you to your room.”
“That, yes. Mr Cassano! Then I’ll be on my way, have a good time!”
“Haha, lady, have a good time too.”
“That!”
Pung-I looked at Perisha as she hurriedly walked around her mansion, covering her blushing face with her palms, and at Bindel, who followed her with her awkward smile. The moment the two of them turned around, I pulled the hesitant Sierra into her arms and, holding her in my arms like a tango dance, matched her steps and headed towards her mansion.
“Then shall we go back too?”
“What, if you’re going to do this, go, why don’t you go with me?”
“Haha- mine came, so there’s no need to do that, right?”
“I’ve said it many times, but this isn’t your shirt? Is it mine? Is that what I bought you for?”
Is that logic Well, I recalled Sierra’s image in her memory of seeing my messy clothes and buying her new clothes, telling her to throw them all away. I shook my head and said to her.
“Not that.”
“Well, then what is it?”
“You are mine.”
He grabbed Sierra, who was fidgeting in her arms, and whispered in her flushed ear. Sierra, who was struggling like a whining child, calmed down at my whispers, then wrapped her arms around me and hugged me, and said in a trembling voice.
“What- he, he- no- wow-“
Sierra sounded in denial with her outrageous tone, but the underlying emotion was joy. With a cute response, Sierra’s ponytail, delighted with her new blush, kissed her on the cheek, then I asked in a quiet voice as I straightened her disheveled hair.
“Would you like to come to my room today?”
“…Yes-“
I slipped my hand into her shirt, like a placid cat, and walked while teasing her slightly hot breasts with the tips of my fingers. Perisha jumped up to the point where she wondered if the exclamation mark had become a person, and she grabbed Bindel with an even faster pace and started heading towards her mansion.
“Cute?”
Undine-like raw reaction was cute, so I spit it out without realizing it. I looked at Sierra while shrinking her body for a moment, but I checked Sierra, who burried her face deep into my arms, wiggling as if it was a compliment to herself. .
**
‘Crazy- crazy- crazy!’
Perisha was confident that she had always been a proud and dignified young lady, but she couldn’t keep her cool when she saw what she had just witnessed. Her father had told her that she was a fallen aristocrat, but Sierra praised her for not losing her dignity and genius.
‘Very sweet, sorrowful eyes…’
Caught in the arms of a seemingly indifferent man, Sierra flowed from his arms like ice melting at his warm touch and sweet whispers. Peering at her burning hot eyes and her sweet breath flowing from her beautiful lips, Perisha felt as if her whole body would melt just by recalling the scene.
‘It’s completely perfect. Person who is abnormal…’
It was like that before. He was a man with sunken eyes indifferently, but his consideration for women was ingrained in his body, such as dropping leaves on his head and catching and helping Katra, who was about to fall while walking in the woods. I was even a little envious of him naturally caring for women.
Compared to that…
“Bindel, come quickly- why are you so behind!”
“It’s because I have a lot to think about. Miss, go in first.”
Although he was considerate of him, Perisha, who was not aware of her, was a little offended by Bindel’s answer, who was busy cutting herself off. They had been together since they were young, and they must have thought deeply about each other, but recently, she approached Bindel only herself and expressed her honest feelings without hesitation. I started treating myself.
‘I’m a little sad, no, I’m very sad…’
To her mother and father, she always had to be a smart, classy young lady. When she was little, she had been told by her nanny and Catra that it was just a cute girl in front of the person she really loved, so she openly approached Bindel, but his reaction was still cold.
‘But those two…’
Perisha, who focused on stealing glances at the two who were so far apart that she couldn’t see them properly, let out a sad sigh at the sight of the two still hugging tightly and whispering her love. It’s so hot and friendly that you automatically think that it’s like you’re in love, and it’s like your old father…
‘Haa…!’
Recalling her naked love affair with Bindel when she was young, Perisha tried to cover her blushing face with her palms to calm her mind. Are the two of them going through such a sticky and lascivious day? Perisha, recalling the love affair she had tried to bury in the other side of her memory, wriggled her roaring body and let out a quiet lewd breath.
“Bindel…”
“My lady, I have to stop by the warehouse, so I can only meet you here. Sorry.”
I hope he cools down my overheated body. Or if he had melted down and made me flow down to the point where I didn’t even know there was a woman named me- I wanted him to hold my body so tightly that it would crush me, excited by the feelings of love and lust.
“Ah… That’s right, that’s right. Then let’s go…?”
Hold me, even now, hold my hand and whisper love to me like they do, infuse your feelings into me and make me your own woman-
“Yes, I’m sorry I couldn’t come to your room to pick you up. I’ll make sure to make time for it later…”
Jeop-jeok-jeok-jeok-steps away. Before entering the mansion, the sound of footsteps trampling on pebbles and stones grew farther and farther away, and the sky peeping out over a slightly bowed head was already turning black. A chilling sensation caressed Perisha and dissipated as the chilly evening air wrapped around her slightly sweaty hunting clothes.
Thick, thick, dripping sadness soaked her pebbles. As the colors of the pebbles and stones spread, so did her sorrow. Why am I the only one like this, I tried and tried to be loved by her father and mother, so even if I matched their taste, there were few compliments that came back. Anticipation was heavy and love was light. Isn’t my worth more or less than a medal to show others?
The swollen feeling of depression met Perisha’s sadness and brought all sorts of negative thoughts to mind. The more she caught glimpses of her happy lover, the more saddened her own miserable situation. As the pebbles under her feet were charred, the sound of footsteps approached little by little.
Perisha, bowing her head, expected. Did she come back? It wasn’t long before her distance came, and the approaching steps were enough to inflate expectations to the fullest. The hope that came to her dissipated the depression that came like a cloud. Just as the sound of her footsteps across the gravel stopped, a large foot stopped in front of her own feet.
She was polished to perfection, but the luster had faded a bit from her roaming the woods. The moment her black boots flinched, familiar yet unfamiliar, her swish-white handkerchief came right in front of her eyes.
Tok-tok-tok-a cautious hand wiped away her tears. Her blurry vision cleared and her wet cheeks became soft. As the flushed cheeks heated up, it seemed that the remaining moisture flew away. When she raised her head, she was afraid that she would be disappointed, so Perisha couldn’t keep her head down easily, but thanks to the owner of her boots, who didn’t leave even after time passed, Perisha eventually raised her head as it was with a sense of shame. .
“Ah…”
The man who was wearing the boots she gave her and looking at him with a nonchalant face and an expression that was not, asked himself in a low, subdued voice.
“Are you okay?”
The kind regards she wanted to hear from the person she loved spat out from the mouth of her stranger, and she beat herself.
