Chapter 125 – Part 2 Nobles – Elizabeth’s Visit (2)

After a long kiss, he parted his lips.
Of course, they only matched their lips. Didn’t do anything else You can’t ruin a girl’s first kiss.

“Elizabeth.”

Elizabeth opens her eyes as I call. The corners of her eyes were wet, so she lightly wiped them with her fingers.

“…It’s like a dream, Yuzu-sama.”
“It will continue. Things like a dream.”

He kisses Elizabeth’s forehead as she lowers her eyes in embarrassment.
Anyway, her kiss was too long. I can’t make the girls wait any longer.
I said to Maria, who was waiting at the door.

“You may come in.”

The door opens and Melissa and Minerva enter.

“Elizabeth?”

Both Melissa and Minerva looked at Elizabeth and opened her eyes wide.
Elizabeth, who had been shy like her virgin just before, was showing off her usual dignified figure before she knew it.

“Melissa, Minerva, long time no see.”
“What do you think of Elizabeth…”
“In such a shabby place, Miss Elizabeth…”

Compared to the laid-back Elizabeth, the two sisters were very sorry. Without pretending to see, I bend my knees toward her Elizabeth and exchange her aristocratic salutation.

“Hey. This house is mine now. What a shabby place?”
“Quiet.”

Minerva tried to argue, but she was dismissed.
What the. Who wants to be the owner.

“But Elizabeth-sama, how could you and our young master…”
“Have you ever done anything strange?”
“Hey.”
“Whoops. I’m glad you both look healthy.”

Elizabeth laughed, but her expression was not bright.

“I can’t even imagine how much grief you must have experienced because of that. I apologize on behalf of the royal family.”
“It’s nothing for Elizabeth to apologize for.”
“Yes. My father… Said that he only lost in politics.”
“Still…”

The three of them were shaking their heads at each other. I don’t think I came here to talk about this.

“Come on, it’s going to be a long story, so let’s sit down and talk. Maria, please give me some tea.”
“Yes, master.”

The three of us sat down on the sofa, and I sat next to Elizabeth.
Sitting with three beautiful aristocratic women, the room is bright as if a flower has bloomed.

“Well, but how did Elizabeth-nim get to know our young master…?”
“I had a connection at the Korea Foundation Day party that was held not too long ago.”

Elizabeth looks at me with her meaningful face. I took Elizabeth’s hand and kissed the back of her hand.
It would be better to show at a glance what kind of relationship we are. You can’t fool these two.

“Stop, no way.”
“Elizabeth, no.”

The faces of the two became contemplative.

“Calm down, Minerva. I have no intention of taking him away.”
“It’s not like that.”
“I already know what kind of relationship you have with Count Brillante. That he has many lovers besides the two of you.
“Eh, he’s not a man suitable for Elizabeth-sama.”

Minerva had been trying to cut me down with all her might from a while ago. Do you still hold a grudge against what happened earlier?

“It doesn’t matter whether they match or not. The important thing is the feelings between the parties, right?”

But Elizabeth’s eyes looking up at me seemed like honey would drip. The two people watching it, especially Minerva, were making faces as if they had witnessed a very shocking sight.
Heh Have you seen it, Minerva? My popularity. I don’t know if I’ll regret it after being taken away.

“Well, I’ll leave the joke here. There’s a more important story than that.”

What. Was that a joke?
At Elizabeth’s words, Melissa and Minerva straightened their postures and put on serious faces.

“The reason I came to you today is to clear the Red Star family of dishonor.”
“Name…”
“Is it really?”

Elizabeth’s words carry weight. She is different from what the idiots say.
There was obviously a lot of meaning in that Elizabeth clearly uttered the word false accusation.

“Yes. Perhaps within a few days, a summons will come from the palace. The title will be returned and the lost honor will be restored. Those who have already passed away cannot be returned, but…”

At Elizabeth’s words, her plan becomes solemn. Except for her three sisters, everyone in her family had died. Even if you apologize now and say, ‘It was a mistake’, the dead person will not come back.

“But how come now…?”
“Thanks to Yuzu-sama for submitting clear physical evidence that the evidence at that time was fabricated.”
“Bocchan…?”

When Elizabeth presented me, both eyes turned to me.
I said while taking form.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. I couldn’t reveal it until things were confirmed.”
“No, that… Bocchan wouldn’t have had to do this for us…”
“I got caught because I was doing both, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”
“Young master…!”

Melissa sheds tears of emotion. And for some reason, Minerva looked at her with suspicious eyes.
It’s true that I was beaten up, but it’s also true that my name was cleared thanks to me. Minerva should be more grateful to me.

“The evidence that drove the Red Star family into ruin was the fake evidence created by Count Luiderun and his followers. We have confirmed that the kingdom has also actively intervened.”
“Luiderun, Count…!”

Melissa gripped her skirt tightly in her resentful face. On the back of her hand, Minerva put her hand in comfort.
He is the main culprit who killed her family and a human who harassed her as a plaything. She must hate her enough to want to kill her.

“Melissa. And Minerva. No amount of compensation will be able to alleviate that resentment, but the royal family will show the utmost sincerity to the extent possible. If you need anything, please let me know.”

That being said, the dead are already dead. Doesn’t the reward have to be given in money?
The two parties involved were also perplexed. I don’t know what to ask for even if you suddenly say that.

“…Then, Miss Elizabeth.”
“Yes. Melissa.”
“Earl Luiderun is going to be executed, right?”
“Of course. The method of execution will be decided through trial.”
“Then I want to carry out the execution.”
“Sister?”
“Melissa, that’s…”

Both Minerva and Elizabeth were taken aback by Melissa’s words. Neither do I.
She said she would grant her anything, but she never expected Melissa to make such a frightening wish.

Are you saying you want to end the pig count’s life with your own hands? But isn’t that like a reward? There’s no way an aristocratic lady without any training could just kill a person.

“Stop it, Melissa. That’s not a woman’s business. If she really wants to kill me, I’ll kill her instead of Melissa.”
“No, young master. Unless the daughter of the Red Star family takes her own life, her true honor will not return. And neither will her parents’ enemies.”

Apparently, Melissa has no intention of stepping down. Her eyes were burning with an unseen resolve.

“Then come with me. You know it’s impossible to do it alone, right? Even the royal family won’t give you permission, right?”

That was the best compromise I could think of.
Melissa also thought about it for a while before nodding her head in agreement.

“…I understand. Please, young master.”
“Whew. Actually, I want to stop it too, but if Melissa’s heart is that strong, I can’t help it. I’ll take permission.”
“Please, Miss Elizabeth.”

Since I am not the party involved, I cannot understand Melissa’s feelings. But she can’t help it that she herself wants it that way.
But I can’t just get Melissa’s hands dirty. Count Pig must be bluntly killed when he is executed.

“Does Minerva want something?”
“…Elizabeth, if the titles are resurrected, will one of us inherit them?”
“That’s right. The only survivors of the Red Star family are the three sisters.”

At Elizabeth’s words, Minerva looked at me for some reason.

“Huh? Me? Why?”
“…Sigh.”

And she sighs for some reason. I don’t know English.
Seeing us like that, Melissa said with her wry smile.

“What do you want to do, Bocchan?”
“Me? I don’t have much idea. Shouldn’t the person who wants to inherit the title be the one?”

Usually, the son inherits the title, but if there is no son, the family is inherited by adopting an adopted son. But to do that, I have to train for a long time, so I won’t be able to this time. Then, it would be most desirable for one of the sisters to bring in a son-in-law and let the son-in-law inherit the title. Oh

“Are you asking me to inherit the family?”
“Of course, there is a way to do that, but I don’t intend to force it. I just want to hear your opinion.”
“My opinion?”
“Yes. If you decide to formally marry one of us and inherit the title, or have someone son-in-law inherit the title, we will follow it.”
“No, not son-in-law.”

I cut off one possibility with a single knife. Who is the son-in-law for good? It wouldn’t matter if dirt got into my eyes.

“Bocchan. I’ve already been married once, so I’m not suitable for the candidate. I think the best thing to see is that the Bocchan and Minerva get married and inherit the family line…”
“Am I, married…?”

I blankly reflect on Melissa’s words.
Wedding. It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but it’s a word I’ve deliberately avoided until now.
No matter how noble you are, if you officially marry, there will be minimal restrictions. Making a lover is only possible with the wife’s permission.
If I officially marry Minerva, will she ever allow me to act like I’ve always done?

As she looked at Minerva, she was restless and her gaze was wandering. Surprisingly, she doesn’t seem to hate it that much…? Hmm?

“Yes. Most of all, the young master’s child is growing inside Minerva’s belly.”
“Child?!”

At her Melissa’s words, Elizabeth jumped up from her seat with an uncharacteristically loud noise.

“Me, Minerva, Lim, were you pregnant?”
“Yes. Our Minerva and the young master have been in love for a long time. Hohoho.”

For some reason, Melissa answered, raising her snot.
Elizabeth slumped back on her couch, her face looking shocked.

Hmm. As expected, anyone would be shocked to hear that the man they liked had a child with another woman. Because I’m a very, very sinful man.
Still, it’s something you’ll need to know someday, so maybe it’s a good thing for me to tell you this stupidly.

Elizabeth sat there blankly for a while.
But she soon came back to life in her eyes, and she clapped her hands as if she had just come to mind and opened her mouth.

“Ah, before that, Honorary Count Yuz Brillante has been elevated from honorary count to full count thanks to the merits of bringing conclusive evidence this time. So, even if she marries Minerva, it will be impossible for her to inherit the Red Star viscountcy.”
“Huh? Really?”

That was news I didn’t know. And this time it was the two sisters’ turn to be surprised.
