Chapter 144 – Price
Episode 144 – Price
I walked leisurely to my dorm.
‘Should I take the bait?’
We have already noticed that Leona is spying on us.
The question is how she will act backward.
Whether I should step up for Sarah, or ignore the voice of conscience and just stand by, I had nothing to lose either way.
Still, if I had to choose, I think the former would be more enjoyable.
“Luan!”
Just then someone called me.
When I looked up, Deborah, who had been waiting in front of my dorm, approached me at a slow pace.
“Deborah? “What’s going on here?”
“I just wanted to talk. Yesterday, a professor came by on the way, so we quickly parted ways.”
“Ah… Really?”
I tried hard to suppress my embarrassment.
I couldn’t have guessed that Deborah would come to visit me at this time. They had finally made up with her, but she was so busy that I couldn’t tell her to go.
I was worried that Leona would just give up and leave.
“Anyway, aren’t you going somewhere? “Everyone was busy looking around because it was the last day.”
“What about Luan? Where have you been?”
“Me? I am… “I just came to meet the professor.”
“From morning? … “Why?”
Could it be that you and Sarah don’t have a good relationship?
In response to my answer, Deborah pouted her mouth and made a sulky expression.
“It’s just not that big of a deal. He said he needed help organizing the data.”
“Really?”
“Then!” “What am I doing by lying?”
She looks at her with suspicion.
Deborah narrowed her eyes and studied me closely, but then she gazed at her moved to the side, slightly away from me.
Voices heard at the same time.
“Ruan Friuli. “I have some business to run for a while.”
When she turned her head, Leona was standing proudly, as expected.
Her expression she was quite serious.
“What business do you have with me, Deputy Commander?”
“… It’s about Sarah. Cost. “If I say that, will you understand?”
“…”
I was silent for a moment.
Because she was so happy that she had been caught in the trick, she felt like if she opened her mouth right now, laughter would leak out.
I answered only after I had finally calmed down.
“Then follow me. “Because this is my room.”
“No, go to the deputy commander’s office. “It’s something we need to talk about alone.”
Leona glanced sideways at Deborah.
Under the unspoken pressure of being in her way, I asked Deborah for her understanding of her.
“Deborah. I’m sorry, but I’ll see you later. When we’re done talking, I’ll come to your accommodation.”
“… Is it really?”
“Of course. See you later.”
I secretly caressed Deborah’s cheek.
Deborah, who was enjoying the touch of hers, closed her eyes and cupped her face, then took a step back.
“Be sure to come. “If you don’t come, I’ll be angry.”
“Okay. I understand.”
When she gave her a slight smile, Deborah glanced at her Leona, then turned and disappeared.
The atmosphere becomes colder.
“Then shall we go?”
“… Follow me.”
Leona and I silently moved to the deputy commander’s office without much conversation.
The moment you step inside and the door closes.
“Speak bluntly. “Stop your relationship with Sarah.”
Leona struck the core at once.
I was a little impressed by his incredible boldness and drive her, and asked with a mean smile.
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t pretend not to know. Because I know you made a deal with Sarah. Just now, the two of you… I also confirmed that it was mixed.”
Leona hesitates for a moment while mentioning sex.
That tells us that even though she is married, she is not that open about sex.
Was the man the type with a low sexual desire?
“Are you sure you were secretly spying on me? Since when?”
“From the beginning. “I saw it all.”
“Entire? Hmm… “It took over an hour and you saw it all?”
I looked at Leona’s front room with interest.
The moment Leona flinched at that blatant gaze, I whispered darkly.
“Then you must have been excited?”
“What?”
“Is your pussy wet?”
No matter how much you don’t reveal it, unless you’re a stone woman, your body will naturally get hot when you see someone else having sex.
At the obvious but rude question, Leona’s face turned red for a moment and she burst into anger.
“You! Be careful what you say! “Stop talking nonsense and just answer what I say!”
A surprisingly violent reaction.
This itself proved that I was already excited to see it.
At this point, the provocation is enough.
“What does the second-in-command say? Are you really saying that I should stop doing business with the professor?”
“… Okay. “That’s not right.”
The standard of judgment is based on conscience.
It was truly her behavior, and therefore it was something that could not help but be funny.
“Fuhahaha! It’s not right? Then why did you do that to me?”
“What? “What did I do to you?”
“Oh, you really don’t know? Actually. A few days ago, I was attacked in the middle of the night. That was when the second-in-command sent me to his quarters. A very hot arrow pierced my abdomen. I almost died. “I barely survived by taking potions.”
Night patrol. Hot arrow.
With just these two devices, Leona understood what I was talking about.
“What? It can’t be… Why? Why is Regina attacking you?”
“I don’t know that either. If you’re curious, why don’t you ask the person in question? Considering that you asked for help, it seems like you are quite trusted.”
“Ugh… !”
Caught off guard in an unexpected way, Leona groaned and lowered her head.
It was a while later that she raised her head.
“I apologize. “I will make sure something like this never happens again.”
“How can I believe that?”
“Bring Regina directly to you. “I’m going to make her get down on her knees.”
“Hmm… That sounds tempting. But can you do it? “I’m coming back tomorrow.”
“I have to do something.”
Eyes full of determination.
However, the anxiety and agitation hidden within her let her know that she was not confident enough to persuade Regina.
I hinted at a different direction.
“But actually, I don’t need an apology from Princess Regina.”
“What? Then…”
“I wish for something else.”
I stared at Leona.
Her face, which she did not understand what it meant at first, soon became slightly distorted.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes. Honestly, what do you do with an apology? “There is no sincerity at all.”
“I am a married woman.”
“So? Is it wrong that she is a married woman? Rather, it is a quality certification mark. She says she sucks so much that she wants to tie this woman down to her marriage.”
I looked at Leona’s whole body as if I was deliberately licking her.
At that gaze, she seemed to have goosebumps and trembled and took a step back.
“Well, is that it? Anything else…”
“Anything else? What else is there? Didn’t you hear it yesterday in the first place? What goes into the potion? “Can a second-in-command who distances himself from the imperial family bear that price?”
Although Leona still holds the title of princess, she cannot enjoy a single thing.
Originally, she should have been sent for an arranged marriage to form an alliance with her neighboring country her, but it was only because she gave up everything that she was able to marry the person she wanted.
This is the reality she chose.
“That…”
“There is one thing you can do. Either sacrifice yourself to me, or live like nothing happened. If he allows her body her, it’s natural to forgive Regina for helping the princess and reconsider her deal with her professor her. How do you feel?”
In times like this, most people will just want to remain bystanders.
Because I don’t want to sacrifice for others.
However, this first princess, Leona Solias, who has a rare personality of great character, cannot possibly ignore reality.
However, even so, it must have been difficult to make a decision all at once.
“… Give me time to think.”
“Hmm… You have until tonight to make your choice.”
“I understand. Let’s decide before dinner. Let’s go out.”
Leona couldn’t make eye contact with me.
After staring at her for a moment, I lowered my head and left her room.
‘What will happen?’
No matter what choice Leona makes, only her pain awaits her.
That is the price for helping Regina.
*
“Stop messing with Ruan Friuli from now on.”
These were the first words Regina heard when she came to the deputy commander’s office after receiving a call from her soldier.
She reflexively tried to deny it, but ended up keeping her mouth shut. That’s because Leona’s attitude she was so stubborn that there was no compromise.
Regina asked a question.
“How does your sister know that? Could it be that she said that?”
“Okay. We met by chance in the morning and chatted. “What happened to you two?”
“That… “I can’t say it.”
What’s involved in this is too complicated.
To explain one thing, you have to tell everything, and that included not only himself but also Isis ‘her private parts of her.
After Regina closed her mouth, Leona asked again.
“I need to let you know. Only then can you make a judgment. Don’t tell anyone. Huh?”
“… Sorry. But that doesn’t work.”
Leona let out a sigh at the repeated rejection.
Realizing that there was no more meaning, she got straight to the point.
“Good. I won’t ask any more questions. Instead, I don’t know what’s going on between you two, but promise me that you won’t do anything like this again in the future. Do you understand?”
“… “I don’t like it.”
“Regina!”
“But that doesn’t work. “I can’t stop.”
This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work either.
When all the rejection came back, no matter how much Leona she was, she couldn’t help but feel angry.
Even if you try to force a conversation when the other person has no will to talk, it will only end up as a futile echo. Leona also decided to push her own opinion.
“Once again, stop targeting Ruan Friuli in the future. If news like this comes to me again, I won’t stay still. … “I will tell His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Under! Is that so? Do whatever you feel like. Because it doesn’t matter.”
Regina solemnly turned her back.
Leona, sensing that her persuasion that she would end in failure as it was, shouted hurriedly.
“You will pay a big price someday!”
Regina’s feet stopped.
She only turned her head and glared coldly at Leona.
“I’ll take care of that too. “You don’t want to cause trouble to your sister, so stop nagging.”
Regina was completely selfish.
She never thought that her mistake could harm those around her.
Leona was furious for a moment.
“You! You are… “You don’t know anything?”
“What?”
“It is a nuisance in itself that this information was heard in my ears. That means stop!”
Just saying, “I won’t do it again,” Could make everyone happy, but Regina didn’t give in to her stubbornness of hers.
In fact, this is due to a lack of communication.
Both Regina and Leona were just staring at each other, hiding the most important information deep in their hearts.
If their friendship had been a little deeper, this problem would have been resolved at once.
“I’m so sorry about that. Don’t worry. “You will never hear news like this again.”
Regina responded to Leona’s yelling with a sneer and left her room.
Left alone, Leona clenched her fists.
“Idiot…”
To whom is that being said?
After letting go of her emotions for a moment, Leona picked up one of her picture frames from her office desk.
It was a photo of her husband and herself.
“… Honey. “I’m sorry.”
Please forgive her for making foolish decisions to save her brother.
Leona hoped and hoped.
