722 – The Honeymoon Never Ends – 7
An impromptu fan meeting with an overseas fan took place that no one expected, but my signature sword… When I say it this way, it feels like a famous sword. Anyway, after receiving the signed sword, Alice quickly returned to the palace.
“Thank you so much! I will keep it as a national treasure for the rest of my life! Have a great time!”
“Thank you for graciously overlooking the rudeness. I will never forget the kindness of His Excellency Count Tyglehen.”
Alice was walking away with a smile on her face, and Beryl was nodding her head politely next to her.
Just by looking at that scene, we could roughly guess the intensity of Beryl’s her work, but Alice was one of the gentlest of royal families on the continent. If Beryl knew that, she would be able to spend each day with a lighter heart.
“You were a lively person, right?”
“That’s right. He was very active, perhaps because he was a member of royalty and chose the path of a knight.”
He smiled at Mar’s words and nodded.
If you think about it, Lyutis is a different species who chose the path of a knight even though he is a member of royalty. Since it is said that Ryuutis and Alice are the same age, you can think of them as female versions of Ryuutis─
‘No.’
I quickly shook off the terrible thought. It’s very rude to Alice to think like that.
If it were Ryutis, whether I was on my honeymoon or not, I would say, ‘Please join me in sparring once while I’m here!’ I would have asked for it. At least Alice had the common sense not to interfere with my trip.
‘I’m sorry.’
I apologized to Alice in my heart. She has no one to compare herself to, so she compares herself to Liu Tis. It was a heartbreaking mistake to just sign the sword and send it back.
So, if Alice says she’s getting married someday, let’s at least send her a gift. He’s not a complete stranger, but an overseas fan with whom I had a one-on-one fan meeting. That level of service should be provided.
“Then since the guests have gone, shall we continue playing?”
After pledging that she would then sign and send her her armor her her her, not her her sword her her her, she held out one of her hands her her her to Mar.
“Okay, Nar Dad.”
Those words made me laugh.
It seems like Mar and I have already created a second child in Mar’s mind.
The sightseeing I enjoyed after the fan meeting was extremely peaceful.
Like Alice and Beryl, she didn’t feel like someone was following her, and she didn’t send anyone from Xereno, saying she was being rude. We were literally able to spend time just the two of us.
‘It seems the warning was clear.’
Notification delivered to Zereno through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I had been told not to bother him as it was a private visit, but fortunately, Zereno was a docile nation that would obediently follow what the empire said.
Of course, there was an unexpected situation called Alice, but let’s make an exception. There was no harm to her, and I have no intention of going over what ended with them laughing.
‘The royal family is something that the administration cannot control.’
In the first place, even high-ranking nobles or ministers could not stop the royal family’s eccentricities. Who knows that sadness better than me? We need to understand and be considerate of people who share the same pain.
By now, several ministers, led by Zereno’s Minister of External Affairs, must be fainting with tears in their eyes. Maybe you’re fiddling with the resignation letter in your pocket or trying to make an emergency escape by taking a vacation. If it were me, I would have done that.
So, instead of expressing regret to Alice, he asked the Zereno administration, ‘Aren’t you taking proper care of your princess?’ I didn’t even say that.
‘I want to die, but if I touch it, I could really die.’
Besides, isn’t it undefined to express dissatisfaction directly? Even if I were just breathing, the numb Zereno would fall flat, why?
On the contrary, if you remain silent, it is obvious that you will be grateful that I showed you mercy and will serve you even more generously. If I have to come into contact with Zereno again for work reasons, Zereno has no choice but to actively cooperate at least once. Otherwise, I’ll bring up today’s incident.
“Carl. Do you want to try this?”
“Oh, do they sell things like this?”
Crucially, what is important now is not taming Zereno, but an intimate date with Mar.
Because it’s a port city, there’s plenty of seafood. Because it is a city filled with wealth, the dishes are made with a variety of spices and ingredients. Thanks to that, Mar brought with me one of the foods sold on the street, fried whole squid.
I had no idea that food fried using oil was sold lightly on the street. Food that consumes a large amount of oil is not something common people can easily access.
‘It’s a place like this, so they ripped off the resort.’
It was new, but I felt like I knew why the Golden Ball ripped off Narvesia’s resort. For a city this rich, it is natural that aristocrat tourists would flock there, and the local commoners of Narvesia would also boast a decent spending power.
“How do you feel? Does it fit your mouth?”
“It’s delicious, probably because of Mar’s touch of her.”
It’s just food that I brought, not something I made myself, but it’s something that I touched anyway.
“Hehe, really?”
At my high praise, Mar smiled softly and ripped off one of her legs.
“Then it tastes better if I feed it to you myself— cows, you can’t even eat your fingers!”
“Mneunhu. Nemu msitsseeo night.”
“Ah, okay, so please take your mouth off first…”
Mar’s face instantly turned red as she mumbled with her finger in her mouth.
It was a childish joke, but it was a satisfying response. As expected, the gap between Mar’s confident attack and her immediate counterattack. The shyness that comes from that gap is so cute and lovely.
To be honest, I think my tastes are pervert, but whatever. They are a couple who has already seen everything there is to see. This level of bickering is at the level of cuteness.
“It tastes better when Mar feeds it to me.”
“It’s not that I fed it, it’s that Carl took it away.”
As she grinned and pulled her mouth away, Mar looked at me with a somewhat pouty look on her face.
It seemed like they were sad that the opportunity for intimate feeding between the couple had disappeared.
“Mar.”
For Mar’s sake, he ripped off one of her legs and put the end of it in her mouth.
“…Knife?”
Eventually, the other side of her leg was pushed towards Mar.
I didn’t know they would do something like this with squid legs instead of sticks, but wouldn’t this be a more heartwarming and intimate act than feeding them? I believe Mar will definitely like it.
“Ka, Carl. Anyway, it’s a bit weird to do this on the side of the road…”
In fact, she expressed her disapproval with her mouth, but her eyes did not leave the squid legs I had seen.
‘Good.’
When she saw that, the corners of her mouth slowly rose. Perhaps because it was our honeymoon, even these fresh feelings seemed to return to those of a newlywed.
Of course, 3 years of marriage is enough to call them newlyweds.
What the Golden Ball gained was not only the resort.
“This is a beach that His Excellency told me to open only to you two. No one will be able to access it until you two come out, so I hope you have a good time.”
A beach owned by a resort. Among them, the most secluded and beautiful beach was provided to VVIPs only.
I had no idea that the beach was also part of the resort. No matter how golden the ball is, it is impossible to rip off another country’s territory, which is not a building, so this means that the beach belongs to the resort from the beginning…
‘The original owner wasn’t normal either.’
What on earth is this guy doing to create a resort like this? And what kind of karma did I commit in my past life to lose this resort?
I expressed my small condolences to the original owner whose face I did not know. Still, it is more beneficial to give up a resort than to have the city or territory itself fall.
“A beach just for the two of us. It’s a luxury we couldn’t enjoy even on school trips.”
“That’s right. We usually went to the sea together, but it was rare for the two of us to go together.”
The only person who has ever been in the sea alone with me is Rin. Although it wasn’t my intention, our beach date became an achievement that wasn’t Lin’s.
Lin, the person involved, is shocked every time the word beach is mentioned.
“When we return home, should we look for a beach like this? It’s a bit cold in the north, so the Duchy of Chenes would do?”
“Not a boyar?”
“It’s too expensive there. If you’re Cheness, you’re a relative, so why don’t you give it to me a little cheaper?”
“Hehe, I guess you could ask me to buy it with alcohol instead of money.”
She burst out laughing at Mar’s words her her her her.
That’s right. If it were Hyeongyeonggong, he would pay more for alcohol of the same value than money.
“…Knife.”
“Yes.”
“I’m so lucky that Carl is my husband.”
She looked at Mar’s face in silence because it was a new confession.
Normally, I would say, ‘I’m also happy that Mar is her wife.’ She would have said that, but looking at Mar’s mood, she thought it would be better for her to remain silent for now.
“When I first got dumped by Karl and entered the academy… I tried to become a bureaucrat like Karl, but honestly, I was bored. I didn’t really enjoy learning things or meeting people at the academy.”
Mar said that, smiled brightly and took my hand.
“If there wasn’t a purpose called Karl, or at least if Karl hadn’t come as an inspector at the Academy. How would my life have changed?”
“…If it’s dried, it’s great─”
“I think I probably would have become a boring and hard person. I may have been hated by everyone for setting cold standards for myself and others.”
Mar placed his index finger on my lips. It was as if she was begging me to listen to her more.
“He probably spent his school life wandering around because he couldn’t find his goal, and criticizing other people’s words and actions on those topics. Then, when Rize started a pastry club, he might have gotten angry and asked how dare the daughter of a baron get along with noble blood.”
It was a possibility she couldn’t deny, so she remained silent.
Marr pointed out Rize’s club life even when I was at the academy. Of course, she was just an excuse to contact me, but if it were a parallel world without me, would it have ended up as just an excuse? Didn’t he sincerely point out and push Rize?
That’s because Mar places great importance on her dignity and manners. If Mar had awakened into a hard and cold city woman, her criticism would never be light.
“If that had happened… The relationship between me and Rize wouldn’t have been as good as it is now.”
I couldn’t deny it this time too. Rizeda burst into tears despite Mar’s mild criticism of her. Her sincere punch she could have made me faint beyond crying.
“So, it’s all thanks to Carl. I’m able to be this happy because Carl appeared in my life, Carl came to the academy, and Carl accepted my heart.”
“It’s an honor. Even if I wasn’t there, Marr would have lived well.”
“It may have been material, but it wouldn’t have made her heart pound like it does now.”
Before I knew it, Mar’s face she was getting closer
“I love you, Carl. You probably already know this, but I wanted to say it one more time.”
A shy but confident, small but big confession of love.
“I love you too. More than anyone in this world.”
“But it’s tied for first place, right?”
“That can’t be helped.”
Marr let out a chuckle, kissed my lips, and then slowly stepped back.
“Knife.”
“Yes.”
“Swimsuit. Do you want to see it?”
“A lot.”
It was an answer that didn’t go through her head, so both I and Marr burst out laughing.
It wasn’t a bad itinerary for the final itinerary of the honeymoon.
