Chapter 254 – 23. The Girls From the Empire

Han So-young let out a sigh as she looked at the letters in front of her eyes.

“Ha.”

It’s really absurd.

She herself arrived at her mansion this morning, but she said that the letters addressed to her had arrived several days earlier and were piled up in piles. She also wondered if she should have moved more quietly, but unfortunately it was unavoidable.

It must have been that the troublesome 2nd Prince found out and there was a problem.

‘It would be nice to use it as an excuse, though.’

The mistake of putting pressure on an SS-class hero simply by guessing because he was in a hurry due to faction issues.

One year is a good reason to use it.

Han So-yeong had no intention of leaving this alone.

She was going to eat concerned like a ethmoid, not more than a year, she was very concerned.

“Hmm. It’s a bone. Come to think of it, now I can take care of myself in earnest.”

A few months later, her mother-to-be’s eyes lit up.

It was not easy to eat these things in the Empire.

Why is interest in SS-class warriors so high?

When she retires and lives in the countryside, she will live in the capital without knowing it, so it is difficult to hide anything. There are also strange people hiding around the mansion. I wonder if foreign celebrities who were chased by the paparazzi felt this way.

In any case, if the Empire didn’t pay attention and sought healthy food, there would be rumors of injury soon. She came back after a long time, so her body is not normal, she is in fact her body is not good. She is retired. It’s obvious even if you don’t see it

‘Anyway, why are you so interested in others…’

As I was grumbling, the door opened and someone entered the room.

“It’s popular.”

It was Sheila, her best friend and party member.

“Knock a little.”

“Sorry.”

She immediately apologizes for her harsh reaction.

But she wasn’t done with it.

“Soyoung, you seem to be sensitive these days.”

“…Hmm.”

So-young swallowed her saliva as she tried to give her harsh answer once more.

Reaching her lofty heights, she was also good at looking at herself objectively. It may take her a while to come to her senses on her own, but her best friend has given her advice and she can’t just ignore it in anger.

“…That’s right. Lately, he’s definitely become nervous.”

“Ahaha.”

At Han So-young’s words, Sheila gave a rare cheerful smile.

It is not difficult to know the reason for the change.

She had already experienced it once, and Sheila was with her at that time.

“Certainly, I can feel it now. Until now, I was always covering it up and she didn’t get morning sickness, so I didn’t notice it.”

“…”

At the sound of her friend’s laughter, So-young silently blushed at her.

She and she stroked her belly.

It’s not very noticeable yet, but it will pop out at some point.

It was the same with her first pregnancy. She didn’t even know she was pregnant at first until she realized her period wasn’t coming. Thanks to her, how scolded she was by the doctor and the people around her. She remembers that a year ago she would have shed tears just by thinking about it.

Her friend Sheila also has a smile full of relief on her lips, as if she had similar thoughts.

“Good.”

“Yeah… Really♡”

A voice that conveys the feeling of being happy.

Maybe her dead looks more delighted than when she was with her husband.

‘It went really well…’

Even though she knew it was nonsense, Sheila couldn’t contain her complicated feelings.

‘The opponent is really…’

Warrior Han Siu.

A young man who turned twenty-five this year.

Still, there is no difference until the age of 20, but it is not a small age difference. He is not without older and younger couples, but most of the time the average man is older. It was the first time for Sheila that the women were more than 10 years apart.

“You’d have to be happy anyway.”

“Huh? What?”

“No. How far have you come before that?”

Sheila changed the topic and approached Soyoung.

At first glance, the letters piled thickly on the table seem to exceed 100.

“Haa, so. I’ve come too many times.”

“Hmm.”

Sheila picks up a letter and checks the sender.

It was a letter from a count she had never heard of, presumed to be a nobleman from her kingdom of Palania. Probably the same for all the letters here. Nobles or warriors. If you include future letters, wouldn’t 80% of Palania’s high-ranking officials be in touch?

“We can just ignore it anyway. Shall we throw it away instead?”

“No, but I would have sent it with sincerity…”

“What is sincerity? Half of it must be ghostwriting. Besides, the intention seems obvious, and it must have been sent in such a way as to poke a persimmon that can’t be eaten.”

She snorted, imagining the sights of the aristocrats she was accustomed to.

Probably half of them already had a criminal record for contacting Han So-young.

At that time, there were people who would filter letters from below, but unfortunately there is no one now.

‘Since Soyoung said she would stay for a long time, she should secretly bring servants from the empire little by little.’

There are many things I left behind in the Empire to appeal that I won’t stay long in the Kingdom of Palania.

Perhaps for about a month, the Glaser Empire’s vigilance will be severe, but it will loosen up for a while until the originally scheduled stay of two months. After that, it is necessary to work hard to carry servants, property, and weapons from the empire before it gets tight again.

“Umm. Should I throw it away? No, but… There might be an important letter…”

After finishing her thoughts, Sheila sighed as she looked at her still troubled best friend.

A stupidly nice and sincere woman.

Still, that’s an advantage.

“Ugh. Ask your son to go and check on the person. If it’s a letter, he’ll send you a trustworthy person.”

“Ah, I must!”

Han So-young, who likes clapping her hands.

She doesn’t know if she’s thinking of a good way to do it, or if she likes to make excuses to go see her son. The latter seemed more fitting to Sheila.

‘I can’t help but say I like Soyoung, but I still can’t admit it… ‘

Smart.

“Excuse me. Maman?”

“…”

A title given to only one person, regardless of voice.

Han So-young jumped up from her seat and she cautiously walked over and slammed her door open.

“Son!”

“Wow. Be surprised. Be careful, you might get hurt.”

“Whoops. I’ll be careful next time♡”

We will continue to live together for the next few months, but will it be that good?

It was completely incomprehensible to Sheila, who had never been in love properly at that age. Children like it, but men are anxious. I don’t know if it’s because I only see people who are so unreliable.

“What’s happen?”

“Oh, wait.”

Saying that, Siu stepped aside.

Then, several maids who were standing behind him came forward.

“This is Henna. She’s a maid who will take care of Mamang for a while.”

“Bopil?”

“Yes. They said they brought servants when they came, but there aren’t many people, right? Besides, it’s my first time living here.”

“Ah, that’s right. Thank you.”

“Thank you. And when I checked earlier, there were people I couldn’t bring. That’s…”

Sheila put on a blank expression as she listened to Siwoo’s words.

I arrived this morning, and they confirmed the duties of the employees and supplemented them. He didn’t even think Moreover, even the lady-in-waiting who was just talking about checking the letters. It is admirable to supplement it with the word that he is a trustworthy and reliable person.

‘Mmm. Yeah sure… Not bad.’

Sheila smiled lightly at Siwoo without realizing it.

A lot of good feelings built up in her heart.

“To tell you the truth, Elaine did most of it, haha…”

“You’re talking about that child of three saints. Hmmm. That’s possible. She says that she is an assistant to our son’s Harem Cartel. Originally, the Harem Cartel’s merits are the merits of men.”

“Thank you for saying that. How is your room?”

“Okay. The mansion is more luxurious than I thought, and the facilities are better. Oh, I don’t mean it strangely, so don’t get me wrong. What about Sheila?”

Han So-young excused herself for what might sound strange in her case, and she hurriedly turned her words to her friend. Sheila, who had been quietly listening to their conversation behind her, jerked her body slightly in surprise.

“Huh? Ah, yes. I like it too. Even compared to our mansion in the Empire, it’s not inferior.”

“Ah, it’s not that much. It’s really… Uhhh. But it’s pretty good here. The idiot who built the mansion must have had some qualifications, so it was built with a fairly large amount of money.”

“Hey.”

“Ah, this is a secret. The noble daughter of that nobleman also lives with her…”

“Yes, of course. Did she say Gwen? Huhu, I want to see her soon too♡”

Han So-young’s party from the Empire, Han Ji-na’s party, and Lunaria.

They said goodbye to most of the people living in the clan mansion at dinner, but some of them were away so they couldn’t meet. Among them, Gwen was at the Imperial Alchemy Department for research.

“Come tomorrow, so you can see it.”

Siu nodded and smiled at her, and looked around the room.

“Are there only two of you? What about the other two?”

“Mr. Lutz went out to drink in Palania. He’s probably going from bar to bar.”

“That’s very Lutz-san…”

“And Scarlett will be in her own room.”

Sheila, who answered in place of So-young, lamented inwardly, thinking of the other two party members.

Rutsuya seems to be acting on her own, but she does important things in advance. He also has a good personality, so at least he gets along with everyone outwardly. She has an insight for her age, so there are many times when they get help.

In contrast, Scarlett, the red berserker she recruited for the fourth time, has many problems.

As expected of a gladiator with a high name, his skills are certain, but his personality is rotten. He doesn’t speak well, he doesn’t get along, and he often has accidents. I don’t understand why the hell you came to the party.

‘Is it because of the value of being a party member of an SS-class hero?’

How did So-yeong bring such a woman to the party?

Sheila, lost in her thoughts without realizing it, blinked before she noticed Siu right in front of him.

“…!!”

Limbs that move reflexively.

Since there was no spear, he instead stretched his right hand to his neck and his left hand to his waist.

“Oops!”

‘Ah.’

He belatedly realized it was a mistake, but was vague to retrieve his hand.

Surprisingly, however, Hanshi succeeded in escaping from Sheila’s touch and stepping back behind her.

“Oh, I was surprised.”

“…Did you avoid it?”

“Yeah? Uh, were you trying to test something?”

“No, I’m sorry. I almost used her hand without realizing it because the face was so close. I’m really sorry.”

Sheila apologized openly this time as well.

There’s no room for excuses, and it’s my fault that I didn’t notice until he was right in front of me.

‘No matter how much I was lost in thought… Umm, it seems you have more talent than I thought.’

“Oh, is that so? Thank goodness. I thought maybe I made a mistake.”

“I-I’m sorry, but please don’t come too close. It’s a little, uh, burdensome.”

“Yes. I’ll be careful.”

Sheila scratched her cheek in embarrassment and turned his head away.

For some reason, I see my friend So-yeong, who is smiling and laughing.

“…Why are you laughing.”

“No. More than that, my son.”

“Please speak.”

Unexpected words escaped from between the lips of a strange smile.

“How about our Sheila…?”

“…Yes?”

“What?”
