Chapter 248 – 22. Harem Clan Strengthening

“Shh. This is an art gallery. You shouldn’t be so loud.”

“Oops!”

Evans, the fiancée, stares at Siu and Sharina alternately with ferocious eyes.

Even so, the two of them showed a relaxed attitude.

Evans didn’t like it very much.

No, more than anything else, he was angry that he was still holding hands after he had appeared.

However, Siwoo also had his own reasons for not letting go.

‘Are you okay. Calm down.’

Contrary to her appearance, Sharina was trembling.

It was such a minute trembling that it was invisible to her fiancé, but it was clearly felt by Siu, who was holding her hand. Even knowing that, Siwoo wasn’t an idiot enough to let go of Sharina’s hand, and there was nothing that took her to hold her hand.

‘Because I was going to finish this one anyway.’

More precisely, I wanted to do it after I went to Springfield, the kingdom of magic.

However, he changed his mind because he was going to stay in Palania for a long time.

‘I’m sorry I didn’t tell Charperia in advance, but this is within the range of what I can afford.’

No matter how good he is as a faction executive, how can he dominate the continent in the future if he is still pushed aside by a single county? With a smile full of ease, Sharina tugged at her and sent her behind her own.

Her fiancé’s forehead twitched as he watched.

“…Han Si-woo, it’s good. Warrior.”

“What is it, Gongja?”

“The princess behind you is my fiancé.”

“I know.”

The sound of grinding teeth came from the fiancee’s mouth once again.

Looking at his trembling body and his tightly clenched right hand, he seemed ready to throw a punch at any moment, but he managed to hold it in. If I had been hit by one, it would have been a good cause, but it was a bit disappointing.

‘I don’t think it’s going to hurt that bad to be beaten by that kind of guy.’

The fiancé who takes a deep breath calmly and seeks coolness.

He smiles as if he thought of something good.

“Shari. Let’s go back now.”

An outstretched hand with a tall, handsome smile that makes good use of his handsome appearance.

His confidence was revealed that there was no way his own face would not be eaten by Sharina.

She seduced the princess of a country with just her face, so it wasn’t unfounded confidence, but the situation changed.

“No.”

“…Uh?”

“I’m going to have dinner with Siwoo-nim.”

“…?”

Evans, the fiancée, couldn’t believe it.

Has Sharina ever rejected her own words with a single stroke like this?

In short, put it in your hand.

She even did that when she asked for something really unreasonable, or when she couldn’t help it due to circumstances. It doesn’t make sense that she refuses to tell her to go back. No matter how much Han Siu is said to be the most important person in Palania, he is his fiancé.

“…Why?”

In a trembling voice he asked why he was stuttering.

Sharina answered him with a question.

“Why me?”

“Why? Why? I’m engaged!!”

A shout that came out naturally.

An employee who was watching from the side came and asked to be quiet, but he did not listen.

But he didn’t scream again, but instead reached out to Sharina.

Widely.

“…!!”

“Used when a man tries to grab a woman roughly.”

“What kind of dog…! Knock!”

He swallowed the curse that barely escaped his mouth, biting his lip instead.

I’ve always hated a guy, but today he’s even worse. That smirking face doesn’t look like it would be enough to tear it to pieces with my nails.

But if anything, let alone his fingernail marks, was buried, there would be a great uproar. Second, that he is not one to be hurt by his own fist. He has a well-fed and well-bred body that exudes a distinct presence even without armor.

Looking at Siwoo and biting his lip, he spat out words in a reproachful tone.

“Is it okay for a warrior and a saint to seduce someone else’s woman?”

“Someone else’s woman?”

Siwoo tilts his head and makes an expression that he doesn’t know why.

His fiancee’s eyebrows wrinkled at the sight of him asking where the hell was another woman.

“Isn’t the princess behind the hero my fiancee…”

The end of Evans’s voice is crushed from holding back his anger.

Siwoo smiled and said to him, who seemed like he would bleed if he bit harder.

“Just because you’re a fiancé doesn’t mean you’re my woman.”

“…?! What nonsense is that…!!”

“Princess Evans. Please be quiet…!”

“It’s noisy! Then I’m going to be able to do it for the rest of the time!”

At Evans’ words, the staff laughed at him.

“This place owned by the Duke is the largest art museum in Palania.

“Huh! This art museum… Hick?! What…?!”

Evans was horrified when he snorted and turned around to check the amount the employee had given him.

It is an unbelievable amount to say that it is only an art museum. The museum operates until late at night, and even if the rental fee for that time is excessive, I think it is excessive. As a fiancée, even the staff thought he was being teased.

“Where to buy…!”

“It’s unreasonable to say it’s a scam. You’ve seen the works in the art museum here, so you’d know.”

“However, it is!”

At that time, it was Princess Sharina who helped the staff.

“Stop it, Evans. What are you doing ugly?”

“Ugh…”

It was a fatal blow to him, who hated the word ugly the most.

Siwoo approached the hesitant man.

I didn’t like being close to the handsome guy, but I still liked it best when I was close and whispered in my ear. I don’t mean to pretend to be nice, but it’s not nice to hear from others.

“Hey, Prince Evans.”

“…?”

‘Suddenly, what kind of respect?’

“Even if you’re a fiancée, don’t you consider a guy who can’t even pierce the hymen?”

“…!!!”

“Thank you for reaching out after drinking alone at the mansion that day.

“This…! What a fucking bastard!!”

Impatient, he swings his arm.

He came right in front of his nose, but Siwoo only saw it very slowly.

To the point where you could even see her fiancée’s hands flattened, not clenched into fists, even while taking a step back, pretending to avoid it. Admiring how a slap could come out here instead of a fist, Siwoo gave him the ball.

‘Exorcism.’

“Si, sir Siu!”

“Ah…!”

He was a young man who realized his mistake only belatedly, but it was already too late.

He hadn’t been bitten by anyone around him yet, and he was looking at even the staff.

The female employee was already calling other employees using the communication tool.

“I-I… I didn’t mean to hit you…”

He trembled alone and sat down with his legs in a W.

“Are you okay, Siwoo?”

“That’s fine. I dodged well. Didn’t you barely make a sound?”

“Ah…”

Certainly, the cheeks of Shiu she was examining were fine, far from being red.

It would be even more absurd if a problem arises because the hero who awakened mana was not a woman but was beaten by a man. Still, how can I be calm when the man I love is hit by someone I hate on the contrary?

“It’s fortunate…”

“It wouldn’t be too much of a pity if I offered my cheek for Sharina’s sake, but it felt unfair to be beaten by her.”

“Whew. You did a good job. But… Be careful. Why do you dare to come close to provocation…”

“It’s just cause. This side already gave me one, so I’ll have to get this much.”

“…”

For nobles, the most important cause.

It was Siwoo’s opinion that gave this up, but in the end, the cause was himself.

The princess was very hurt by that.

Why did he complicate things without recognizing him in the first place? No, apart from that, he wished he hadn’t hastened the engagement. Then he could have parted cleanly.

Her engagement ceremony and the first day at the mansion often appeared in her dreams, which she regretted.

“Stop.”

“Yes?”

“Are you regretting it again?”

“…? Uh, how did you know?”

“You can tell by looking at his expression. I don’t know anything else, but I can clearly see that the woman he loves is having a hard time.”

“Now, don’t make my heart beat. It’s bad for the heart…♡”

Sharina’s face brightened quickly.

Siu was relieved because she had seen her regretful face so many times.

‘Anyway, the heart is weak.’

While Siwoo and Sharina were secretly chatting, a female employee came belatedly to their side.

She was the employee who had been with him from the beginning.

“Are you okay, Siwoo Hero?”

“Oh, I’m fine. I’m not hurt.”

“Sorry. We should have stopped it…”

“Ah. It’s my fault for going ahead and provoking you. But…”

Siwoo slightly turns her gaze to check Evans, her fiancée, who was sitting on the floor.

However, it seemed that he had already woken up with the support of other employees and went elsewhere.

“Princess Evans was taken inside. He, he must have been in shock, but he didn’t say much.”

“Really? Well, take care of that human on your own. We’ll leave.”

Siwoo took Sharina’s hand with those words.

However, the princess wanted to show off her deep relationship by crossing her arms at this time.

It has already happened, and there is no need to hesitate just because there are others. There was still a bit of uneasiness in my heart, but more than that, I felt refreshed and refreshed. And I was happy again.

“Yes? …I understand. We will take care of the rest of the day. Please enter carefully, Princess. Siwoo Warrior.”

“Thank you. Tell the duke that we will see you next time.”

“Yes, I’ll make sure to deliver it to you.”

Sharina asked after leaving the art gallery.

“Are you acquainted with the Duke?”

“At all.”

“No, but…”

“Still, I know a little bit about him. Couldn’t it be that you didn’t even recognize the duke of the kingdom? He’s famous in his own way. I heard a lot of information about him from Charperia.”

“Aha.”

“Rather than that, let’s go get dinner. I’m hungry.”

“Okay! I’ll take you to my favorite restaurant.”

“Huh.”

Although they went through complicated things in their own way at the art museum, the two acted calmly as if nothing had happened.

It wasn’t really anything special for Shiu. Sharina is worried, but since she originally had a cheerful and simple personality, she didn’t keep it for long. The case with Siu was a bit of a special case.

Summer is approaching and the days are getting longer.

Even though there were only a few minutes left before 6:00 PM, the two entered the restaurant in bright light.

They ordered a few dishes from Sharina’s recommended menu.

Soon, she hesitated and called Siu.

“I am Siu-sama.”

“Huh?”

“You may not like it, but could you rate the visit to the museum…?”

Sharina asked cautiously as she stretched her hands under her table, probably nervous.

Siwoo burst into laughter.

“Of course.”

I’m not very interested in things like art, but I’m not an outsider or hate it. If so, she wouldn’t have even remembered the story of Han So-yeong about the author her ex-husband liked.

Siu shared her honest feelings with her.

It was a clumsy impression, but there was joy on Sharina’s face.

“Personally, the most impressive thing was in the middle…”

“Excuse me. The meal you ordered is here.”

The meal was soon served, and as the appreciation gradually ran out, Han Si-woo brought up another story.

“Sharina likes to draw as much as she likes to look, right?”

“Yes? Oh, yes.”

“I draw sometimes even these days.”

“When I’m tired from working, little by little…? Hehe. It’s a secret from my mother.”

“Haha, of course not.”

“I’m quite good at it, but everyone was happy when I drew her as a princess. In the past, I drew my mother and father.

Sharina hesitated for a moment.

The reason was obvious.

“Hmm, that guy from earlier?”

“Yes? Ah, that… Yes.”

“Did you draw a lot?”

“No, just what… One or three or four?”

“Yeah… That makes me jealous.”

“Yes?”

“Next time, draw me too.”

“Ah… Yes! I like it! Hee hee, since I’m drawing Siwoo-sama, I’ll use some good paint…”

“Yeah. You won’t need a few paints.”

“Is that so? But basically…”

“Nude painting. Haven’t you ever drawn one?”

“Ah… Hehe…♥”

The next date with the princess was going to be something different and fun.
