Chapter 95 – Haru Kang and Aria Who Returned From Their Trip

Kang Ha-eun, who arrived earlier than the promised time, saw with her own eyes the video of Kang Ha-ru trying to attack Mary.

“Haru… Was right…”

“Sorting out the videos… Ha-eun, could you rest in your room and come back in two hours?”

Kang Ha-eun went back to her dormitory and Chou-shu and Sasha were waiting for her. They became more and more important people as they comforted and soothed Kang Ha-eun, who was bewildered.

“Ha-eun, did you hear something bad today?”

“There are bad rumors going around in the Grand Duke’s family…”

Four days had passed since Kang Ha-eun watched her video, and she had to hear her bad rumors about Kang Haru three more times.
Shushu and Sasha owe a lot to Kang Ha-eun’s persistence despite the rumors of Kang Haru that circulated among her maids, maids, and even her apprentice maids.

“Are there rumors related to Kang Haru again?”

“Yes, maybe it’s because the day I’m returning from my trip is getting closer… I often hear the story…”

Kang Ha-eun could also suspect someone if rumors circulated only in the grand duke’s family, but she was also dealing with Kang Haru’s ugly side in the media.
Of course, she was fake news that I made up, but Kang Ha-eun, who lives only in the grand duke’s family, had no way of knowing.

“What kind of rumor was this time?”

“… I heard she takes narcotic drugs.”

Even if Haru Kang was not a drug, she was taking aphrodisiacs constantly.
If she ran out of medicine, she would bend her pride and she might contact Aria to send her medicine without her knowledge.

“Rumors are just rumors, so Ha-eun, let’s talk about it yourself. Until then, keep your ears shut.”

“Haa… Unbelievable rumors keep coming out… I’m sorry I’m losing my mind…”

“It’s not that Ha-eun is sorry. If her hair is complicated, will she come and meet her inn couple like Chou-shu? She’ll give all the apprentice maids a break.”

I complied with Kang Ha-eun’s request and invited the middle-aged couple, Gail’s parents and inn owners, to the grand duke’s estate.
They stayed at a high-end hotel and were one of the few people Kang Ha-eun could easily meet.

“Thanks to Yuna, going out is nice! And a top-notch hotel!”

“Shushu… I’m sorry to break the mood, but once you get into the hotel… Can you talk to me about your worries?”

Kang Ha-eun accepted Winter’s proposal because she and Chou-shu consulted the couple at the inn for their worries.

“Yeah! Thanks to Haeun, I came out, of course I have to do that!”

Upon arriving at the hotel counter, Kang Ha-eun and Chou-shu put a piece of paper on the counter.
After checking the paper, the hotel staff immediately led Kang Ha-eun and Chou-shu to the room where the inn couple were staying.

“Is Ha-eun here? And you’re Chou-shu?”

“Hello!”

The inn couple opened the hotel room door and came out into the hallway, welcoming Kang Ha-eun and Chou-shu.

“Hello…”

“Hmm? Ha-eun looks troubled.”

“Yeah, her bright face was bruised.”

The inn couple brought Kang Ha-eun and Chou-shu into the room, took out her tea and refreshments, and sat facing each other on the sofa..
Winter informed the inn couple of Kang Ha-eun’s concerns, and today, he asked them to listen to her concerns and encourage them.

“Aunt, Uncle, and Chou-shu too… Please give me a consultation!”

There was no one who would reject Kang Ha-eun, who did not want to cause a nuisance, to seek counseling for her troubles. Both the innkeeper and Shushu listened to Kang Haeun’s story.

“So Ha-eun said that there is someone she likes, and that person is saying that Ha-eun suffered damage because of her family?”

“Yes that’s right…”

Shushu, who was ordered by Winter to spread rumors after knowing that Haru Kang and Haeun Kang were siblings, noticed that the concern was related to Winter.
While Chou Shu was thinking about how to connect Ha-eun Kang and Winter more closely, the innkeeper gave Winter some helpful advice.

“Does the person Ha-eun likes also like Ha-eun?”

“Yes… I told you that I like it…”

A middle-aged man who confirmed that Kang Ha-eun and her partner had feelings for each other made their own conclusions.

“Haeun-ah, if my wife has been harmed because of the uncle’s family, I will try to do better somehow.”

“Yes…?”

“If that person loves you as much as you love them, is it right to distance yourself from her family because they did something wrong? I don’t think you are.”

Haru Kang’s actions hurt Winter, and Kang Ha-eun, who was struggling with her guilt, changed her common sense.

“I just need to heal the wounds that her wife suffered because of my family. But if I also avoid her, who will heal those wounds?”

“But… Wouldn’t you hate to see me, the person who caused harm and my family…?”

“You might not want to see it. But does avoiding the scars make the scars go away?

“Yes, Haeun-ah, it’s someone I love. It’s not this person’s fault, it’s her family, so I don’t even hate this person.”

Kang Ha-eun’s heart, whose values ​​were shaken all over, was able to set the direction with Shu-shu’s last words.

“Ha-eun, if, really, if… If Ha-eun gets hurt because of my parents, won’t I see her?”

“No! How can you not look at Shushu! It’s Shushu’s parents’ fault, so it’s not Shushu’s fault… It’s not…”

The example Shushu gave touched Kang Ha-eun.
If the person I liked was hurt because of my family, it was only natural for her to comfort me in some way.

“Ha-eun, have your concerns been resolved?”

“SOLVED… YES! SOLVED!”

Ha-eun Kang enjoyed a meal and played games with Chou-shu and her innkeepers, and she brushed off her worries and concerns.
There were only two days left before Haru Kang returned from her trip, and during that time, Haeun Kang picked out things that Winter would like her to do.

“Grand Duke, I think your lips are puffy…”

“Isn’t that what you do every time you see it?”

“That’s true, but… Hmm…!”

Two days before Kang Haru returned, she was aggressively approached by Kang Ha-eun.
I became the day when Kang Ha-eun and Kang Haru returned from her trip in a relationship that was deeper than a relationship and shallower than a relationship with Kang Ha-eun.

“Make the return ceremony grandiose.”

“I’ll come quickly and take over the handover when it’s time to do that… I don’t like it.”

“… Grand Duke, what kind of relationship do you have with Yuna…?”

When Yuna Choi entered the place where Haeun Kang was with me and she jumped into my arms, she asked what she wanted to ask after a while.
Mary and Freya alone are daunting, but the shock felt by Kang Ha-eun, who is also my lover Choi Yuna, was enormous.

“Then, the reason why she wanted to break up with Haru was because she was dating the Grand Duke…?”

“Yeah! I like Winter older brother much better than Haru!”

Choi Yuna randomly kissed her on my cheeks and lips, and Kang Ha-eun seemed to want to do it in her heart.
Kang Ha-eun, who cared deeply about the advice of the inn couple, had no intention of giving up her position as my lover no matter what.

“If Haeun-unnie wants to do it too, I would.”

“Yuna…! What are you talking about…!”

“Because I want to kiss you right now. Otherwise, I’ll do it myself.”

Since a week ago, she was seriously worried that Kang Ha-eun, who had been coveting my lips, would intervene in her kiss.
While Kang Ha-eun was conflicted over Yoo-na Choi inciting her jealousy, the welcome sound from outside her silenced them.

– Boom!!

“Yuna!!!”

It was unlikely that the door would be broken in the imperial palace, but if the person who opened the door and entered was Haru Kang, the story would be different.
Kang Haru, who was returning to the imperial palace leisurely amidst the welcoming crowd, heard that Choi Yuna was waiting in her room, put her front and back aside and ran into the room.

“You, you crazy bastard, if you break down a door, you’ve set the budget for the palace… No. It’s not my job anymore, so you take care of it.”

“Choi Yuna…Is that the first thing she says to the boyfriend she hasn’t seen in two months?”

The first thing Haru Kang faced in her room was the contemptuous gaze of Yu-na Choi, not Ha-eun Kang or me.
Haru Kang realized something from her trip with Aria.

“Is it okay if I don’t have a boyfriend… Good job, Haru!”

“Haa… Yuna, if we haven’t seen each other in a while, of course it should have been like this.”

Kang Haru listened casually to Choi Yuna’s words.
As Yuna Choi moved closer to her, removing her last name and calling her by her first name, Haru Kang opened her arms and tried to hug her.

“Haru! Let’s break up!”

“Huh? Yuna… What did you just say…?”

Haru Kang, the second of hers after Freya, heard a cruel declaration of separation from her lover, whom she loved.
When Yuna Choi announced her breakup with her bright smile, Haru Kang’s face turned into a demon in an instant.

“I said we should break up.”

“Why… Why on earth! You were supposed to talk about it when I get back from my trip? But why are you suddenly breaking up…!”

“Haru, have you checked the communication port?”

“Why are you talking about the communication phrase all of a sudden… I didn’t see it because Aria didn’t want to see it, and that’s not what’s important right now.”

The decisive reason Kang Haru broke up with Choi Yuna was me, but Aria contributed as much to their breakup.
Choi Yuna activated her communication tool in front of Haru Kang, and there were five carefully written letters.

“It would have been different if you had replied even once. Read it slowly.”

“If you sent a letter, contact me…!”

“Hey, if you want to talk to me, shut up and read the letter first.”

“Whoa… You’re waiting quietly too…”

Kang Haru, whose vision was narrowed, could not look at the people Choi Yuna was with.
After a river day sitting on her floor and reading her letter, a chilly Aria appeared.

“Aria, long time no see?”

“Don’t talk to me because your voice is disgusting.”

Choi Yuna was dealing with Kang Haru and I was trying to deal with Aria, but I couldn’t even speak.
Arya looked over my face and body with contempt, and I stepped back from her, taking care of Kang Ha-eun.

“Ha-eun, come closer to me.”

“Grand Duke… Kang Haru is right…?”

Kang Ha-eun felt like a completely different person from Kang Ha-ru, whose face had changed to that of a demon.
Kang Ha-eun took me into my arms, avoiding the terrifyingly mad eyes and ferocious face.

“Five years isn’t a short time, and Kang Day has changed a lot.”

“Haeun unnie, the old Kang Haru is no more.”

Yuna Choi also told her the true story of Haru Kang, and Ha-eun Kang remembers Haru Kang from her high school days even after washing her eyes, she couldn’t find it.

And Aria, who was the only one standing by her Kang Haru’s side, did not like the man who left her alone and ran away after hearing that her Choi Yuna was waiting.

Despite such a reaction, Haru Kang, who hastily looked through Yuna Choi’s letter, turned her eyes away.
Haru Kang’s gaze toward Yuna Choi moved to me, riding her hands and arms holding her slender waist.

“Winter… Was it your baby again…?”

Kang Haru, who used to talk all the time and didn’t even call me older brother, swearing at my name, rushed at me.

“Aww!!”

“Ha-eun, lower your head!”

– Kwaaang!!!

There was a huge explosion and a cloud of smoke rose. The protective shield formed with magic power in one punch cracked, and Haru Kang tried to stretch out his fist one after another.

– Kwaaang!! Bang!! Bang!!!

“Fuck! Break up a little…!!”

Every time Haru Kang blocked his fist, his mana drained away in pieces.
I can’t get hit alone and it’s enough to avoid it, but I had to use an inefficient method to protect Kang Ha-eun.

“Ha-eun, since you can’t hold out for long, can you say something to Haru Kang?”

When Ha-eun Kang kept cracking the protective film, she spat out random words that came to her mind at Ha-ra Kang.

“This…! Haru Kang! You crazy bastard!”

When Ha-eun Kang spat out abusive language, Haru Kang, who raised his fist to break the shield, hesitated.

“… Is it my sister…? No, why is my sister…?”

Ha-eun Kang looked at her with fear-filled eyes and her arms and legs lost strength.

“Ha-eun also transferred to the continent…”

“Ha-eun? You bastard… Did you even touch my family?”

“Kang Haru! What’s wrong! You and I met thanks to the Archduke’s visit and protection!”

When Kang Ha-eun sided with me, Haru Kang became angry for no reason.
Choi Yuna, Kang Haeun, and Kang Haru felt betrayed when the two of them who were more precious to me stood by my side.

“Haruya, why are you so angry?”

“Haa… Aria…”

However, even though I took Choi Yuna and Kang Ha-eun on both sides, Aria calmed Kang Haru’s anger.
Arya kissed Haru Kang on the cheek, and her demon-like face calmed down.
