511 – Last Vacation – 3

When I saw Sarah’s hand holding my hand her, the corners of her her mouth she went up for no reason. It is the hand that she held countless times while she and Sarah were friends, and it is the hand that she was afraid to even hold after hearing Sarah’s confession of hers. It is a great disrespect to the person who had the courage to confess to first contact a subject who has not even given a proper response to the confession.

It’s a shame that Sarah and Zenobia, whose courage reached the sky, didn’t care about that and snatched my hand.

‘It was definitely a hand that I usually hold.’

Anyway, while walking side by side with Sarah, I looked at her hands. Nothing has changed for me or Sarah. It was always the same hand, and it was always the same face.

Nevertheless, Sarah’s appearance these days felt different than before. Her eyes and head she said it was the same as before, but her heart did not say so.

‘After all, the heart is important.’

When she recognized Sarah as a woman and not just her friend, her heart pounded, and now that she regarded Sarah as her fiancee, everything about her was at ease. The only thing that has changed is the relationship between them, but it’s amazing that it feels like everything has changed.

No, can’t we just say that the relationship has changed? You have to have been in a relationship to know.

‘Love.’

When I thought of a word that was far from my life, I burst into laughter. It was Louise’s first time liking someone, and Louise’s only crush was for a short period of half a year. When you think about 19 years of life, it is just a fleeting moment.

Then I found a fiancee. There are as many as two.

Even I suggested it first.

“Erich?”

Suddenly she let out a laugh and Sarah tilted her head and looked at me.

Certainly, it would be strange to see someone being dragged away during training smirking to himself. If it were me, I would have kept my distance, but the fact that she still does not let go of her hand shows Sarah’s big heart her her her.

“It’s just.” Why do I have to do something so good now?”

As Sarah pulled her hand and held her in his arms, Sarah’s face was seen turning red.

It was just an answer to get this kind of reaction, but it was also sincere. Isn’t it nice to completely accept Sera’s heart ─ sister Zenobia’s heart? Why did I feel burdened by the feelings of both of them until now and why did I not listen to my heart?

‘Were you afraid?’

Maybe I was afraid of establishing a new relationship as a lover rather than a close friend or sister, and that I might show my immaturity in that new relationship.

It was a shameful and ugly thing for a subject who prides himself on being a military man. Just because you’re afraid of something like that, you make the other person confess first. It’s a dark history that won’t be forgotten even if decades pass.

“I’m sorry for making you wait for something good.”

I hugged Sarah even more tightly as the bitterness quickly came over me.

She couldn’t lift her head when she thought that the wait might have continued for several more years. If I hadn’t had someone next to me to stimulate me through marriage, pregnancy, and honeymoon, I would still have been unaware of my feelings

‘If it wasn’t for my brother, it would have been really late.’

It was only after seeing her brother being happy with his wives and seeing her wives being happy with him that my heart moved.

Because I also noticed a deep desire to be loved by someone and to give love.

“It’s okay. Just do as much as you wait.”

I quietly stroked Sarah’s head in a voice so faint that I couldn’t hear it unless I concentrated.

She feels again that Sarah is pretty.

‘I can’t believe I made this kid’s stomach explode.’

My sin is too great.

After being held in Erich’s arms for a few minutes, I was able to slip away from her. She honestly didn’t want to leave, but right now it was more important for Erich to eat properly. When it comes to priorities, her first priority is to drag Erich to her dinner table.

“You came on time today.”

When she appeared with Erich, her mother smiled happily and opened her mouth.

“You’re cowardly, Nanny. If you send Sarah, there’s no way she won’t come.”

Erich complained to her mother as if it were too much.

I was a little upset. It’s like saying that if I hadn’t come, I would have starved or ate sparingly today.

“Sera?”

When she lightly pinched Erich’s side, he looked at me with his puzzled eyes.

“Shouldn’t I call you something different now, not nanny?”

Erich didn’t show any signs of pain even when she pinched him, so when she deliberately told her mischievous words, embarrassment appeared on Erich’s face.

But isn’t it true? Me and Erich are engaged now, but it’s strange that she still calls her soon-to-be mother-in-law “Nanny.” She seems to be drawing a line in a subtle way, which makes her sad.

“I’m fine with either one. Of course, after we become officially married, I’d like you to call me mother-in-law.”

“Well, I’ll try my best. The word nanny has not left her mouth yet.”

When her mother joined in with a chuckle, Erich smiled awkwardly and nodded at her.

My heart, which had been slightly, very slightly upset by her quickly surrendered her, calmed down.

Erich, who was stuck between me and her mother and didn’t know what to do, began to become ecstatic when his future mother-in-law appeared later.

“How can I make her fiancee come and go already? She’s still a weak child.”

“I didn’t do it on purpose… I didn’t know Sarah would come…”

“It was wrong to make her worry so much that her fiancé went to see her in person.”

No matter what she protested, Erich listened to her scolding her. He pursed his lips and lowered his head bitterly. It was as if she realized from the moment she offered her cause that she had no chance.

“Sera, don’t think too much of me just because you’re my fiancé.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

She suddenly scolded me, but she was able to laugh because she knew it was just a prank to tease Erich. Her mother-in-law knows that I went to pick up Erich at her mother’s request in the first place.

At first glance, it may seem like bullying because everyone is making fun of the same person, but since they all have something in common, they are people who have been upset because of Erich, so Erich was also humbly accepting it.

“Still, Erich didn’t do anything strange, she just made a mistake because she was so focused on training. Please don’t say too much about her.”

Of course, unlike in the past when he was heartbroken, the current Erich is a more handsome and confident man than before. It’s hard not to tease him at all because it’s not like he’s never been in the past, but you have to resist teasing him too much.

“What should I do as soon as I tell you not to look at it?”

“Hehe, sorry.”

Fortunately, my mother-in-law seemed to have the same thoughts and she didn’t scold Erich any more after saying those words.

Then Erich, who was sitting across from him, smiled at me and nodded slightly.

‘Fool.’

I was teasing him too.

It is a sight that cannot help but make you laugh. Is that idiot the same person as Erich, who was so powerful back then?

“From then on, I kept thinking about whether I could accept your confession and whether I had the qualifications.”

“But I started to become more and more greedy. Even if I don’t deserve it, I want to live with someone who loves me. I also want to make someone smile sincerely.”

“It’s a shame, but it’s true that it’s my brother’s influence. If it weren’t for him, I might still be thinking about it. Even though I may have been influenced by my brother, it is my decision his, not his.

“I won’t make you regret waiting for me. I’ll entrust half of my life to you, so if I ever have to wait in the future, I’ll be waiting for you.”

‘I guess that’s right.’

Erich’s words her her two days ago, about starting with her engagement her her her, came to mind and I burst into laughter. Yeah, he’s definitely the same guy. Erich, I love both the cool and the fierce.

It’s a bit unfortunate that she said similar things to her older sister Zenobia, but it also means that she gives half of her life equally to me and her older sister Zenobia.

Considering that she has transferred her ownership of herself to her prospective wives.

“Hehe.”

Without realizing it, I let out a goofy laugh and hurriedly covered my mouth.

I quickly looked around and saw that her mother and mother-in-law didn’t hear ─

“Phew.”

I turned my head towards the sound of small laughter.

Erich gave her a bright smile and gave her a thumbs up, and she was nodding as if he understood everything.

‘…Fool.’

In times like this, she just pretends not to hear anything.

It seems like Erich’s insensitivity hasn’t all disappeared yet.

***

After finishing contact with her mother, she looked up at her ceiling blankly.

‘Wow.’

Wow.

‘Is it a dream?’

When I pinched her cheek hard, I could feel her pain.

First of all, it is not a dream.

‘Did your mother dream?’

She even considered the possibility of being unfilial, but soon shook her head. Her mother’s expression and voice did not belong to someone who was asleep.

So it’s hard to believe. She thought that this day would come someday, that it had to come, but when it did come, she was dumbfounded.

‘Erich is engaged.’

That insensitive b*stard finally.

I almost shed tears of emotion for a moment. A man cries once in his life, once when he gets a job he didn’t want, and a hundred and twenty times when his resignation letter is rejected.

He almost cried because of his younger brother’s engagement.

But this is something that is quite touching. Even if someone next to you openly shows that you like them, ‘We’re friends, right?’ A crazy person who does the same thing. To the person who loves you, ‘I wish my sister was a family member.’ A troublemaker who says the same thing.

Erich then accepted her two confessions and she officially became his lover. She even said that she proposed first when she got engaged.

‘It is Crasius’ sermon.’

Although Erich has some kind of change of heart and proposes her engagement, and I wonder if she’s only now heard of something that happened a few days ago-but honestly, I don’t care. Isn’t the important thing not such trivial things, but the result of Erich’s engagement?

Since this brother has four weddings left, it will be a matter of time before his younger brother gets married, but it would be reasonable to guarantee a splendid wedding.

I will somehow invite all 5 dukes to Erich’s wedding.
